CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 237: NO ONE CAN BE SPARED!

Fu Zhen turned to greet Mrs. Ning: "Mother, don’t worry, I’ll go take a look first!"

No one knows what the result of Zhang Feng’s trip will be, but the matter has already been disentangled from Wanbin Building, and no one can blame the Ning Family anymore. However, this incident has already caused losses, so it is only natural to move these people first, allowing Mrs. Ning and Manager Su to quickly handle the aftermath.

Arriving in front of the Xu Mansion, the Liu and Zhang families, who had arrived first, along with the Shuntian Prefecture’s men escorting Lou Zhao, were already calling at the door.

But how could Yongping possibly open the door for them immediately? At this moment, not even a single person showed up.

Fu Zhen was about to call Pei Zhan, who was holding the reins, to wait in the carriage, when Pei Zhan came up to the window: "I’ll first make a trip to the palace, and come back after handling matters."

Fu Zhen asked, "What matters?"

Pei Zhan mounted his horse: "Some people haven’t arrived yet, haven’t they?"

After saying this, he raised an eyebrow, then gestured to the two guards and headed into the street.

Fu Zhen watched him go, and waved for Guo Song to come forward: "When did the General return?"

Guo Song replied: "Earlier, when I went to investigate Lou Zhao, the General arrived immediately. He knows very well about the collusion between Lou Zhao and Princess Yongping. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to gather those witnesses so quickly."

Fu Zhen understood this well now. The Zhang Family couldn’t possibly back down at this point. If they did, wouldn’t outsiders point at Zhang Feng and call him spineless? So where is this going? Liu Yan’s death affects the interests and conflicts among various families, and it won’t be resolved anytime soon.

Looking at the Xu Family’s gate, she instructed Guo Song: "General Zhang is really confused. How could he not invite the Princely Heir’s wife, given such a major incident? The deceased was her cousin, and her father is here seeking justice. How can she not come to see? It’s simply too inhumane! Does becoming a Princely Heir’s wife mean severing family ties?"

Guo Song hurriedly replied, "The Young Madam is right! I’ll go remind General Zhang immediately!"

Fu Zhen lowered the curtain and leaned against the carriage wall.

Yongping, after all, is a Commandery Princess of the current dynasty. Even if she does nothing, her status supports her. Even Prince Rong and Princess Rong cannot stand by idly, can they?

Mrs. Zhang and Yongping have been secretly fighting for so many years, and with Mrs. Zhang’s shrewdness, to battle against Princess Rong and her daughter for so many years without falling behind, would she be easy to deal with?

If Mrs. Zhang didn’t have some leverage over Yongping, she wouldn’t have dared to lead people to forcibly enter Xu Yin’s room at Baihe Temple!

With today’s events causing such a stir, she doesn’t believe that Mrs. Zhang is unaware. She’s simply pushing Zhang Feng to the forefront while she holds the rear.

But even without Liu Yan’s death, Yongping’s misfortune would still benefit Mrs. Zhang, so how could Fu Zhen allow her to gain this advantage for nothing?

If there’s going to be action, everyone needs to be involved!

Guo Song went off into the crowd to fan the flames, while inside the Xu Mansion, Yongping had been pacing the courtyard for who knows how many times.

When the news from Wanbin Building about Liu Yan’s poisoning attack reached her, she received it promptly. However, the subsequent news made her restless. Was Lou Zhao too foolish to even handle a few merchant’s sons, or was Fu Zhen too cunning, able to quickly grasp Lu Yun’s weakness despite also being of merchant origin?

Before her spies could even figure it out, someone came tumbling in, breathlessly reporting that Lou Zhao had also been caught! Provoked by Fu Zhen, Lou Zhao drew his sword against Lu Yun in an attempt to silence him, but failed and was instead captured by Pei Zhan! Moreover, Fu Zhen incited Zhang Feng to lead the Liu Family and the government forces to the Xu Family!

Yongping was infuriated to the core and asked, "Did Lou Zhao confess?"

"...He did not!"

"At least he has some sense!" Yongping gritted her teeth before continuing, "Since he hasn’t confessed, why are you so terrified? I am a Commandery Princess! Who dares to do anything to me?!"

The servant quickly straightened up: "The Commandery Princess’s words are true!" Then asked, "Should I, should I go open the door?"

"Why wouldn’t you? Do you think I should be afraid of them?!"

The servant, being scolded, immediately went out to deliver the message.

The entrance was completely blocked, and among the servants, the clever ones had already gone to alert all parties involved.

At Prince Rong’s Mansion, Mrs. Zhang had also been pacing for most of the day.

She was aware of the commotion at Wanbin Building. Initially, she was puzzled as to why Liu Yan would die at the Ning Family’s Wanbin Building. Due to Fu Zhen, the Ning Family and the Zhang Family could also be considered enemies. No matter how foolish Mrs. Ning was, she wouldn’t let Liu Yan die on her territory, would she?

Therefore, she did not act rashly and only sent people to probe for information.

Until later, when the truth surfaced and the real culprit appeared, it unexpectedly dragged out Lou Zhao! Doesn’t this make the situation much bigger?
