Chapter 695 - The Culprit Has Been Revealed

Chapter 695: The Culprit Has Been Revealed
After listening to Helian Wei Wei, Lord Zhang felt chills ran down his back. He had never felt this sensation before, it was as though there was nothing he could do to hide all the dirty things he had done from this person.
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was unaware of the cause and effect of the incident. He had a vague feeling that the problem was with the fiancee, so he asked Helian Wei Wei hurriedly,
Princess Consort, so you mean that because his fiancee had been stolen, he held a grudge in his heart and prepared these for his vengeance.


No. To be exact, her beloved son’s fiancee had been stolen. Being a mother who wants to decide everything for her son, and thinks that her son is the best in the world, she couldn’t accept the fact that those girls would rather choose a playboy over her own son.
Helian Wei Wei rubbed her fingers as her lips curved up into a smile.
Thinking to highly of one’s own son is also a kind of sickness.

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was stunned because he had never heard of this argument before.
Meanwhile, Lord Zhang yelled like he had been electrocuted.
Old Lady Wang! The criminal is Old Lady Wang!


You’re not that stupid after all.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, but her gaze was cold.
Such a clever person, yet you couldn’t be a good official, you shall stop being one then.



Lord Zhang looked over abruptly.
Princess Consort, you can’t…

Helian Wei Wei did not listen to him, instead she glanced over at Baili Jia Jue and said lazily,
He said I can’t take his position away.

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs looked left and right. According to the Ancestral System, women of the palace were not allowed to involve themselves in affairs regarding the official positions. Previously, His Highness disliked how Empress Murong wanted to assign people to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, thus he slapped Empress Murong on the spot, humiliating Empress Murong so badly.
Now by doing this, the Princess Consort must have crossed His Highness’s biggest taboo…
However, Baili Jia Jue just grinned playfully and held Helian Wei Wei’s hand, massaging it softly. He then said without haste,
Shadow, didn’t you hear the Princess Consort? Remove his official headwear and kick him out.


Yes.
Shadow appeared quickly, swiftly moving only one hand.
The black gauze headwear on Lord Zhang’s head was gone just like that, his hair fell around his face in a shameful mess.
Both father and son were kicked out of the Li Manor. Although only a few people were passing by the manor because it was late at night, passers-by still stared at them as they whispered among themselves.
Helian Wei Wei could not care less.
What an awful official, he even dared to use the Ancestral System to press me. Am I that easy to be pressed down?


Yeah.
Baili Jia Jue was still massaging her hand. In a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, he continued,
You truly aren’t easy to be pressed down, after all, you prefer being on top of me rather than staying bottom, am I right?



Helian Wei Wei was suddenly speechless, even her ears had turned red.

I guessed correctly?
Baili Jia Jue enjoyed seeing her embarrassed. Lowering his head, he planted a kiss on the tip of her ear, his eyes brimming with gentleness.
Helian Wei Wei rubbed her ear before she mumbled softly,
There are still people around.


Are there?
Baili Jia Jue raised his gaze, and looked towards the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs.

No, no! Actually, I don’t even exist!
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs immediately covered his eyes, turned around and left. These days you need to have foresight to be an imperial official!
Helian Wei Wei looked at the figure of the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs who was walking away while murmuring, and started laughing.
These people around you, there is not one of them who don’t fear you.

Baili Jia Jue did not deny it, and held her tightly with a half smile.
Is it that funny?

Helian Wei Wei did not speak but continued laughing in his arms, for the way that the Secretary took his leave was too amusing.
Considering the age of the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, he still needed to play along with His Highness’ devilish humour, how pitiful, hahaha.

Still laughing?
Baili Jia Jue reached out to hold Helian Wei Wei’s chin gently. Speaking between breaths, his sensual voice was like a hook, pulling her in,
Believe it or not, I will press you down right now if you keep laughing.



Helian Wei Wei stopped laughing immediately. She truly believed that His Highness was someone who was capable of doing reckless things regardless of the situation, environment or place!

Thinking about it, we haven’t done it in such an overbearing place.
As Baili Jia Jue spoke, his left hand slid under her clothes, massaging skillfully. He thought about it with a contemplating look on his face, making Helian Wei Wei wonder if he was thinking about some important matters.
Unexpectedly, his next sentence was,
We can try that when we get back later.

Helian Wei Wei was speechless. Can you not say something so indecent with such a serious tone?!

Capture the criminal first, then we’ll talk about it.
Helian Wei Wei pushed him away, then she kissed that perfect face with a gentle smile.
That Old Lady Wang probably isn’t human anymore. A mere case of disappearances couldn’t possibly produce that many evil spirits with the aura of resentment. Something must have happened to her, we must analyze the situation clearly. Besides, I think she might have some things left unfinished…

It was nighttime, and the fog grew thicker outside.
Yan Liu’er felt very guilty after witnessing the two young masters getting captured. She knew very well that she could not go out at this hour, but she still wanted to pay a visit to the yamen.
After all, the two young masters were targeted by Young Master Zhang because she had said the words
Feng Shui specialist
.
She must find a way to help them.
As she thought about it, Yan Liu’er could not sit still anymore, so she left after putting on a cotton robe.


Yan Liu’er’s parents were in another building, chatting about the weird things that had happened these past few days, hence they did not notice the noise outside.
It was snowing heavily that night. The North wind was whipping around crazily, even the wooden doors were squeaking, making it easier for Yan Liu’er to sneak out.
As the night fell, very few people remained in the long alley, but all the houses were lit.
Yan Liu’er tightened her cotton robe, and marched forward with her head down. She walked very quickly, and took a sharp left turn into the narrow alley.
In the beginning, Yan Liu’er did not sense anything odd, because she just wanted to reach the yamen as soon as possible.
Soon after, she felt something watching her from behind.
That feeling sent chills down her back. She dared not look back as regret surged in her heart.
She should not have come out at this hour, somebody must have followed her.
Thinking of this, Yan Liu’er walked faster, as if she was running away from something. However, she did not know that there was nothing behind her, and it was all just her delusion.
Just then, a wooden door to her left opened before her!


It was Old Lady Wang’s house!
Yan Liu’er thought she would be safe once she reached there…
