CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 112: I’LL FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!

Over here, they’ve intimidated the group of troublemakers, and over there someone comes to report: "Sir, those two have been beheaded!"

"Good, let the citizens of Gaoyang County see that anyone who dares to cause trouble will receive no leniency from the government!"

Li Qingmu deliberately had someone report this to warn the crowd: don’t think about causing trouble, or the next head to roll will be yours!

Sure enough, they were all frightened, and immediately rushed to work.

Execute one as a warning to others!

The couple returned home, and it was already dusk.

The servants at home knew they had been busy all day, and timed a sumptuous dinner well. Satisfied, the couple ate their fill and went to their room.

"With this beheading, did you go into the pit yourself?"

Long Yue manipulated the embroidery thread in her hand and said somewhat dissatisfied.

Li Qingmu smiled faintly, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and whispered softly into her ear: "How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den? If she sets a trap for us, wouldn’t it be a waste not to step into it with painstaking effort? Yue’er, don’t you want to see your grandfather?"

Long Yue felt her ear roots itch from his warm breath, wanting desperately to push away this clingy rascal, but when he mentioned her grandfather, she froze.

She slowly turned around, looking at the handsome man in front of her, suddenly thinking of her previous life...

She asked slowly: "You want to see my grandfather?"

"No." He shook his head gently, his tone soft and sincere, "Yue’er, I know the day you married me, there was a grudge in your heart. I don’t know where this grudge comes from, but thinking of those rumors, you must feel lonely. I think perhaps the company of family will give you some support..."

Long Yue was stunned.

Turns out this man knew something from the start. In the previous life, he endured her arrogance and noise, hoping to win her over with his sincerity, achieving a true marital harmony.

That’s why when he was going to Xinan, he asked if she was willing to go together.

When she refused him, the look in his eyes was full of disappointment and sadness, and then he packed his bags alone and set off on a lonely journey...

Prime Minister, I’m sorry, in the previous life I wronged you...

The sadness in her heart surged like a tide, Long Yue could no longer hold back, tears burst forth uncontrollably as she lunged toward Li Qingmu, sobbing: "Prime Minister!"

Li Qingmu was bewildered by her sudden embrace. He wrapped his arms around her, feeling his palms heat up. What’s wrong with his little wife?

"Yue’er... my wife... don’t cry, what’s the matter?"

His magnetic voice carried tension and fear, worried if there was something wrong with his little wife’s distressed emotions.

"Prime Minister, I’m sorry, I’ve wronged you before... sob sob..."

Li Qingmu was stunned, then his eyes softened: "It’s okay, I don’t blame you..."

He assumed it was from the earlier month, but Long Yue was speaking of past life matters.

She slowly raised her head, tears blurring her vision as she looked at her husband, realizing he knew everything from the beginning!

He’s such a smart and wise person!

Long Yue lay in his arms, sobbing softly: "Prime Minister, rest assured, whether it’s a retreat path or a dead end, I’ll accompany you to the end! From Tianya to the ends of the earth, I’ll follow you everywhere!"

"My wife..."

Li Qingmu’s heart stirred, this life having such a wife by his side, he felt completely satisfied!

...

In the deep night, the bright moon hung high!

In the main courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, a bedroom still had its lights on, the sound of sobbing came from inside.

"Master, our daughter has been terribly harmed by that little wench, Pang Longyue. Now that Cai Xiu is personally handling the case, unless he agrees, Qin’er will never come out again... that place, sob sob, as her mother, my heart aches..."

Mrs. Zhou, Cao, knelt before Old Master Zhou, crying pear blossoms in the rain, barely human-shaped. She furiously wiped tears with an embroidery, almost rubbing her cheeks raw, just wanting to plead for the master to save their daughter.

"This is her own consequence!" Mr. Zhou slammed the desk, angrily shouted, "Who let her come up with such a bad idea? Had to pick such a ruthless method. Now look, instead of framing someone, she got herself trapped, now she’s in there... the person is ruined, so stop thinking about it!"

A married daughter is spilled water, raising a daughter is hoping she’ll marry well and let her parents follow to prosperity. But this daughter was ruined so thoroughly, what’s the use?

Mr. Zhou, despite feeling heartache for his daughter, had to think of the family.

He waved his hand, signaling to stop thinking, not worth offending higher-ups over a daughter of little value.

Cai Xiu, now that’s a government officer, he can’t provoke him, haven’t you seen County Magistrate Zhang Bingwen trembling in fear?

Seeing her husband not planning to save their daughter, Mrs. Zhou felt even more sorrowful. She covered her face and wept: "Master, even if you don’t save her, at least visit her, and avenge her! I heard people say Li Qingmu killed two people in Gaoyang County. We can report this, say he committed murder under authority..."

As Mrs. Zhou spoke, a poisonous glint flashed in her eyes. The Zhou Family’s grain store actually has a bit of connection with her Zhou Family. A little manipulation could definitely make that couple suffer greatly!

"Revenge? Hmph!" Mr. Zhou snorted with disdain, "Previously you said to take revenge on her, and it ended up like this. It’s clear your tactics are inferior to that woman’s. So the thought of revenge, better forget about it, lest you drag me down as well!"

"Master, are we just going to let this go? We’ve lost to them twice now... and lost our daughter, I can’t swallow this anger!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Li Qingmu took lives as if they were weeds! Master, everyone saw this, you just need to find someone to pass this on above, isn’t that possible? We’re not doing anything, just telling them about it, isn’t that serious?"

Mr. Zhou hesitated, seems this suggestion could be feasible?

Cao saw his interest, quickly worked her pillow talk: "Master, this matter could be feasible, anyway, just stating facts as they are, not fabricating lies, right?"

Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and nodded: "Right, that Li Qingmu just took office as the County Magistrate and killed two commoners. Even if it’s the ’new official cracking three fires’, he shouldn’t open up with human lives. It shows this person is violent by nature, unfit to govern!"

"Yes, Master! Just started and such, people will absolutely be afraid, public grievances boiling! We’re merely telling the higher-ups to watch him, isn’t that fine?"

"Alright, I will handle this soon!"

Mr. Zhou agreed, and Mrs. Zhou revealed a satisfied smile, then used a reason to go to the toilet and left.

Arriving at a secluded courtyard, a shadow was already waiting.

"From the Liang Family? Rest assured, I’ve persuaded the master. Soon, we’ll have this relayed upwards."

"Good, your task is complete. As for your daughter, the boss said he’ll think of ways to get her out!"

"Thank you, boss!"
