“This news can’t be hidden for too long, which is why the people need the fort of knowing we have a renowned gun designer.”
“As long as our weaponry support exists, my people won’t be too scared. After all, the entire country is counting on her for national security.”
“Plus, she may not be wrongly accusing that girl. Recently, that girl and the Xia family did form a rivalry. That girl has both the ability and the motive to mit a murder.”
Xu Mian was taken aback, “Emperor Yin, you’re really going to just let that calculative woman leash you around?”
Yin Lei said, “You don’t get it. We are both simply getting what we need.”
Xu Mian deeply sighed. He had no idea how anyone could be so greedy for power.
…
The next morning, the entire Quan family went into chaos.
When Mu Jinghang saw the news, he started slamming on Jun Yexuan’s door.
“Third brother, it’s no good! The sis-in-law is in trouble again!”
Jun Yexuan opened the door, “What’s the matter?”
Mu Jinghang handed him the phone, “R… Read the news!”
Jun Yexuan took over the phone and his eyes instantly blazed with killer’s intent.
The screen showed several trending hashtags.
#deathofdukexia
#thenextduke
#whathappenedtodukexia
#qiaoqinggetoutofhere
#avengetheduke
Mu Jinghang clicked on one of the hashtags, “Look, this is what Xia Houshang wrote. The way she wrote everything made it look like it was my sis-in-law who killed her father.”
Jun Yexuan focused on the text and saw what Xia Houshang wrote in the first person:
“I have to inform everyone of some news that has saddened me deeply. These past few days, I have been living in a haze. Even now, I find it hard to accept what has happened.”
“That’s correct – my beloved father and my only family, the protective guardian of the Country of Summer has left me behind.”
“If I could go back in time to a few days ago, I would never have asked Emperor Yin to set me up with his grandson, Jun Yexuan.”
“I never would’ve thought that such a harmless ask would result in the death of my father.”
“Jun Yexuan’s girlfriend, Qiao Qing, originally wanted to kill me. I luckily escaped, but my father was not so lucky.”
“Though my father is no longer around, I remain the pillar of this weaponry family. These recent years, I have been the sole designer and producer of this country’s every gun and every bullet.”
“This was why I naively thought that this country was a safe one.”
“But now, the murderer remains on this land and is living despite the laws in place due to her connection to the royal family. All of this infuriates me and scares me.”
“I wonder if Emperor Yin can be the justice that is needed here and help me avenge my father?”
“If Emperor Yin’s attitude hurts me, I am afraid that I will no longer be a servant to this country and protect the citizens of this free land.”
“Are you done reading? She’s such an evil and cruel witch!” Mu Jinghang saw that Jun Yexuan had finished reading so he clicked open another post.
“I suspect that Xia Houshang is working together with the Emperor. It didn’t take long for Emperor Yin to respond to her post and inform the country that you have been disowned and that you two are the most wanted criminals of this country!”
Jun Yexuan’s face was more than gloomy after reading through all this.
He turned towards Qiao Qing’s bedroom. Across the hall, the two Qi brothers had curiously walked over.
“This is all thanks to your family and your stupid charm!” Qi Chengyu angrily sputtered.
It only took him a day to find out all about Jun Yexuan, Yin Lei, and Xia Houshang’s relationships.
Jun Yexuan opened his mouth but no words came out.
“What’s the matter? Why is it so loud here?” Quan Zexi walked out of his room.
Mu Jinghang handed him the phone, “Uncle, look! Qingqing has been set up again!”
