Spring In Tiansheng
Chapter 34

There was secretly a satisfied smile in the depths of Yan Xun's eyes when he saw minister Hua quivering withstanding his anger.

" The woman was staying at the Wen Cheng Si residence, don't tell me that Wen Cheng Si was interested in the village woman?! ." Minister Hua asked furiously.

" The servant has already investigated it, the daughter of the chieftain Nu not only stayed at the residence of young master Wen, but also stayed overnight in the room of young master Wen." Yan Xun's words like pouring oil into the fire further incinerated the anger of Minister Hua. Minister Hua's face grew even more red upon hearing that.

" That son of a bitch, while getting married to ChunranI how dare he sleep with another woman!!." Minister Hua was very angry and disappointed at Wen Cheng Si.

Although it was common for a man to have many concubines, minister Hua could not accept it. When Hua Chunran's mother was alive she loved her wife very much and did not have a single concubine in her residence.

It was only after years of his wife's death that Minister Hua appointed several concubines and none of them had the status of the legitimate mistress of Minister Hua .

Actually raised some concubines just to fulfill his status in the eyes of the public because as officials and nobles would not be well viewed if they do not have a wife .

In addition, so that his new wife could not fully control his residence and protect the treasure that would all be handed down to Hua Chunran, so Hua's minister raised several concubines at once.

Usually a man will have a concubine if his wife's status is not comparable or inferior to him so there will be no opposition. Or there was an interest in perpetuating power like the emperors did. but Hua Chunran was her precious daughter, of honorable status not inferior to Wen Cheng Si's status. How could his precious daughter compare to the village girl who had just appeared all of a sudden? .

" It seems that I should reconsider Chunran's request to cancel the marriage with Wen Cheng Si." Minister Hua muttered after slightly managing to suppress his anger.

Yan Xun was shocked to hear the words of Minister Hua. Miss Hua wants to cancel the wedding? . Looks like his real master should know this news .

....

Hua Chunran's horse-drawn carriage returned overnight in the middle of the forest. Their journey is more through the forest than the village . After eating and learning everyone immediately rested and slept on each other's fines.

Zhao Xifeng was just about to close his eyes when he heard the sign from his shadow guard. After making sure all his friends were asleep Zhao Xifeng slipped out of the tent.

But the moment Zhao Xifeng slipped out of tent , Zong Yue's eyes immediately opened staring in the direction Zhao Xifeng went missing. Zong Yue got up from her sleep and secretly tried to follow Zhao Xifeng in the direction he left .

" there's been a result? " Alhao Xifeng asked briefly when he saw a secret guard not far from the tent and hiding in the darkness.

The guard cupped his hands together respectfully upon seeing Zhao Xifeng's arrival.

" The servant has investigated it and already knows the mastermind of the ambush that attacked the noble a few days ago."

"Say who is he?" Zhao Xifeng asked coldly.

" The first son of the Wen general's family, Wen Cheng Si."

The answer of his shadow guard made Zhao Xifeng surprised. Why did Wen Cheng Si intend to attack them and kidnap Hua Chunran?

As if knowing what his master was thinking, the shadow guard continued "It seems that young master Wen , targeting the noble one, wants to kill the noble one. It seemed like young master Wen was also suspicious of his noble identity. So Miss Hua's abduction is just an excuse."

Zhao Xifeng's face became grim, there was anger in the depths of his dark eyes.

" Did Ms Hua know?" zhao Xifeng asked quietly.His heart was agitated and hoped that Hua Chunran was not involved in the attack to kill him.

The shadow guard nodded. " Miss Hua does not know, even Miss Hua's departure to the Nu tribal village is also kept secret from young master Wen. But master Wen managed to figure it out, it seems like he placed a spy in the residence of Minister Hua."

Zhao Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief knowing Hua Chunran did not know the assassination attempt made by Wen Cheng Si. But she was also astonished why Hua Chunran kept her departure to the Nu tribal village of Wen Cheng Si a secret.

" The servant also does not know this matter, it seems that Miss Hua's illness is only known to her father and personal servant."

" Investigate also who the spy that Wen Cheng Si sent at the Hua minister's residence." Zhao Xifeng ordered in a deep voice.

The shadow guard nodded . " The servant will say a noble order to Yan Xun."

Just as the shadow guard was about to leave but he suddenly remembered something.

" There is one more thing, your majesty.."

" say .." Zhao Xifeng said indifferently as he was busy thinking and guessing what Hua Chunran's illness really was that made him have to travel far and dangerously to the Nu tribal village.

" Yan Xun sent a message, it seems that Miss Hua intends to cancel her engagement and marriage to young master Wen."

the words of the shadow guard shocked Zhao Xifeng and broke his reverie thinking about Hua Chunran's illness.

" What did you say? Miss Hua intends to cancel her engagement to Wen Cheng Si?"

" Right noble, and it looks like minister Hua is considering it as well. Minister Hua was disappointed by Wen Cheng Si's irresponsible attitude of driving Miss Hua back home and instead brought the daughter of the Nu tribal village chief to spend the night at his residence."

" Minister Hua knew Wen Cheng Si was bringing the woman home? Who gave it to him? " question Zhao Xifeng in wonder.

" Yan Xun who told the Hua minister, even Yan Xun also said that the daughter of the chieftain Nu spent the night in Wen Cheng Si's room ."

Zhao Xifeng grinned satisfied to hear it . Although she felt a little pity for Hua Chunran who betrayed her fiance but somehow she felt happy instead. Perhaps this is called happiness over the suffering of others.

" Good, report to me if there are any more developments. You should also continue investigating until you manage to find where the Wen family's secret warrior training location is ."

" Good noble, servant of retreat.."

The shadow guard cupped his hands together before leaving and immediately disappeared behind the darkness.

Zong Yue who was intending to follow Zhao Xifeng lost track. Zhao Xifeng's move was extremely fast and he simply disappeared . Zong Yue had already searched every place around the tent they had set up but Zhao Xifeng's figure remained invisible.

When Zong Yue decided to return to the tent he saw Zhao Xifeng walking back from a distance. Zhao Xifeng looked at Zong Yue who was looking at him with a suspicious look.

" Xifeng, where are you?" asked Zong Yue who also felt suspicious.

" I'm looking for a river to complete the call of nature" Zhao Xifeng replied casually.

Zong Yue nodded in understanding and did not ask anymore.

" Let's go back .." Zong Yue said later.

They immediately stepped back into the tent. Zhao Xifeng looked at Zong Yue who was walking in front of him with a complicated feeling. Zong Yue was usually very quiet making her a little mysterious. It seemed that one day he would have to be careful of Zong Yue. His figure might not be simple, perhaps he was not just an ordinary guard.
