Luo Tan was stunned. “Assassinated?” She said, “Who would have the guts to assassinate the crown prince of the State of Qin in broad daylight? Are the guards of the crown prince of the State of Qin very weak? How can they not even protect their master’s life?”

Unlike Luo Tan, who was surprised, Shen Miao was very calm. She said, “Don’t worry, Cousin and I didn’t go to Yi Feng Pavilion. When we bumped into that old woman today, many commoners on the street saw it. In order to avoid conflict, we even introduced ourselves. Those commoners can testify for us. At that time, we were busy taking care of the old woman. How could we have the time to go to Yi Feng Pavilion?”

Shen Xin snorted, looking a little angry. “How dare Wang Bi slander my daughter!”

“It seems like the Wang family wants to drag us down with them.” Luo Xueyan also understood and said hatefully, “I didn’t expect Shen Dongling to have such a vicious thought. How can she scheme against her own family!”

Shen Miao sneered. “No one in the second and third branches of the Shen family has ever treated us as their family.”

Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin fell silent.

Luo Tan felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy. She smiled and interrupted, “Sigh, Little Cousin and I were lucky today. If not for the fact that we bumped into that old woman halfway, I’m afraid we would really have gone to Yi Feng Pavilion. Since Huangfu Hao was assassinated and couldn’t even be protected by his own guards, the assassin must be very skilled in martial arts. If Little Cousin and I went, we might also be in danger. Speaking of which, we should thank that old woman.”

Shen Miao laughed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Luo Tan mutter, “But in the invitation that was sent to us, there was no mention of the crown prince of the State of Qin going along. Why would the crown prince of the State of Qin suddenly want to go? Is there anyone else there? If there are, are there any casualties?”

Before anyone could answer Luo Tan’s questions, they saw two people walk in. They were Shen Qiu and Luo Ling. Luo Tan turned around and happened to see them. She couldn’t help but scream, “Cousin Qiu, Brother Ling, what’s wrong?”

Shen Qiu and Luo Ling’s clothes were disheveled. Not only that, but their faces and bodies were also stained with blood, making them look in a sorry state.

Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were also shocked. Luo Xueyan quickly went forward and sized up the two of them. “What happened?”

Shen Qiu quickly explained, “Don’t worry, it’s not my blood. It’s someone else’s.”

Only then did Luo Xueyan feel relieved. However, before she could relax, she heard Luo Tan ask, “Cousin Qiu, did you and Brother Ling go to catch the assassin who killed the crown prince of the State of Qin today? Is the assassin very powerful and difficult to deal with? From the looks of it, you two seem to have had a tough battle.”

Shen Xin frowned and asked, “Shen Qiu, is that so?”

Shen Qiu and Luo Ling looked at each other with strange gazes. A moment later, Shen Qiu asked the servants in the main hall to leave. He looked at Luo Tan and Shen Miao thoughtfully. Shen Miao smiled and said, “Cousin Tan and I won’t tell anyone. Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Luo Tan quickly raised her hand to indicate that she would definitely not reveal anything.

Seeing that Shen Qiu was so serious, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were also a little puzzled. Luo Ling nodded at Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu sighed and said, “Today, the soldiers of the Ministry of War went to arrest people. However, it’s not the assassin who killed Huangfu Hao, but his guards.”

“His guards?” Luo Xueyan frowned. “Could it be that they want Ming Qi to be responsible for Huangfu Hao’s death?” Luo Xueyan did not have a good impression of the people of the State of Qin. She did not know if it was because the State of Qin had been founded the shortest among the three countries and did not have much history. From the royal family to the commoners, everyone looked arrogant. Even if the State of Qin was slightly stronger than Ming Qi now, the arrogance they displayed every time in front of Ming Qi was really annoying.
