After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 231 Concubine

Aunt Zhang, I've been quite busy with work recently, so I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of the household these days. When you have time, we can treat Mr. Liang to dinner together.

Yoko, carrying her bag, leaned over and shouted into the house.

Whenever I sit down and think about what happened, from the moment she was brought back until she quietly left that night, including the appearance of Tanigawa, every step seemed as if it had been arranged by someone long ago.

It is not difficult to imagine what it is for.

But Yoko has always been confused. Since he already knew her intention of approaching him, he still took the trouble to arrange a way out for her.

She asked herself, if it was a case of ignoring someone she already had a crush on, then ignoring him was the most tolerant attitude she could adopt.

Could it be... that he knew her? Or maybe he had some history with her, so he wanted to help her out of consideration?

Whatever the reason, it's always a personal thing...

Aunt Zhang had just washed her hands and came into the room when she heard Yoko talking and quickly responded.

Go and do whatever you want, don't worry about the family, I'm here for you! By the way, is there still no news from your husband?

I will go to Mr. Liang to ask about it later and tell you when I come back in the evening.

Is Mr. Liang here?

As Yoko stepped into the newspaper office, a well-behaved little girl raised her head and looked at her a few times, as if to confirm her identity.

Yoko understood that this girl was probably new and she had never seen her before.

Yes, in recent years she has mostly done travelling work, and only a few old people in the newspaper office recognize her.

Miss Qi, you are here. I was just thinking that you would have to come after dinner anyway. What's going on? Is there any progress? Or is there something wrong with the manuscript?

Without waiting for the little girl to speak, Liang Yuanxin came over and intercepted Yoko, leading her to the office while talking.

Then he brought her to this place, which was no longer unfamiliar to Yoko.

Seven years ago, when she and Aunt Zhang were together, they met a person who was asked by Li Weijun to take care of them. The person was Liang Yuanxin, who also holds her current position.

In addition, his father, Mr. Liang, was an old friend of Yoko's deceased uncle.

Yoko didn't say anything more, she just took out half a newspaper from her bag and slowly pushed it in front of him.

I want to know the truth.

I don't know if you really don't know or you are just hiding it from me on purpose.

Aunt Zhang and he are like mother and son. I think I have the right to know his situation, even if it is false, at least to give me peace of mind.

Yoko spoke in a calm tone, as if she was just talking about an unrelated matter.

Liang Yuanxin picked up the newspaper, glanced through it, and put it down. There was no surprise or other expression on his face.

You really know about this.

As you can see, the truth is, things can change.

I didn't tell you because I didn't want to make you worry.

There are two reasons for doing this. One is that Lao Li

two is

This newspaper was actually printed on the day of the incident, but within half an hour of its publication,

Except for those inside, the rest of the people who know

Looking at Liang Yuanxin's increasingly serious face, Yoko's ominous premonition came true.

In fact, she had roughly guessed the identities of Liang Yuanxin and Li Weijun. What he said might be far more serious than he described, but it was not convenient to reveal it to her.

In the past few years, I have made many connections through work.

Maybe she should go back...

Captain Tanigawa has taken my wife hostage. What are they doing here?

Mieko looked at the man who was slowly walking out and immediately turned back to look at Yoko.

Not to mention Mieko, even Yoko, who knew the inside story, was confused at the moment.

Who could tell her why Ye Xing was here? No one should be here except for an ambush.

Seeing Yoko's puzzled look, the man gave her a reassuring look.

No, this is not him.

The Ye Xing in front of him walked steadily, without any sign of

No matter how good your body's recovery ability is, it is impossible to walk freely like a normal person in just a few days.

If this is Xiaoliu in disguise, then where is the real Ye Xing, and who is the one who was replaced in prison?

Even though she was full of doubts, Yoko could only suppress them temporarily.

The man ignored the group of people who broke into the manor, walked straight to Yoko and untied the rope tied to her hands, taking this opportunity

Madam, don't worry. There is someone else in prison and Mr. Shi will rescue him.

Mr. Liang and his team are in the underground.

After hearing this, Yoko finally understood what they meant.

How long will the delay take?

Half an hour will do.

Yoko immediately felt relieved, relaxed her body, leaned softly in Xiaoliu's arms, and took a short rest.

Xiaoliu inadvertently felt Yoko's pulse, his face immediately darkened, and his tone was not as gentle as before.

Madam's health is extremely poor.

Being older is dangerous in itself, and not getting enough rest after giving birth makes it even more dangerous.

But fortunately, the lady is not as delicate as ordinary women, so she has been able to hold on until now without falling down.

I handed her over to you, and this is how you take care of her?

Is this what you call persistence? What kind of mission requires torturing people like this?

And what about the children?

Although Mieko was speechless, there was no fear on her face.

Now, Muto Takashi no longer cares about Ye Xing. After this period of time, most of Ye Xing's assets have been transferred to his hands.

A useless chess piece is naturally not worth treating with care.

If there is nothing else, I hope Captain Tanigawa can release my wife.

Since we know that Ye Xing is here, there is no need to investigate further.

But today, she didn't come here just to look for someone.

Mr. Shao, come out and see if you recognize this person?

After hearing Mieko's words, Xiaoliu suddenly looked at the person hiding behind the soldier.

It's you!

Shao Xueyi raised his eyebrows at him with a smile, but his words were merciless.

Of course I know him, he is my old boss.

Why, Brother Ye was so excited to see Shao that he couldn't speak?

Thanks to you, Ye is now a poor man.

Anger was boiling in his chest, and besides being angry, Xiaoliu couldn't help but feel sad for his husband.

The gentleman had long planned to focus on training this person. He has a clean background, is honest, hardworking and responsible.

I thought I knew him well enough, so I slowly let my guard down.

The key point is that Shao Xueyi is not only an ungrateful person, but also extremely short-sighted.

He was so good that he went up to give people money eagerly, for fear that they would not get enough things when they left.

Yoko has also met this person once, but judging from the attitudes of Xiaoliu and Mieko, this person should be...

Now not only Xiaoliu's eyes were spitting fire, but even Yoko's eyes were full of coldness when she looked at Shao Xueyi.

Report, the things have been delivered, shall we start setting them up now?

One of them ran in and said to Mieko.

That’s all, you two.

Mieko withdrew from the manor with a big turn, leaving only a few people to trap Xiaoliu and Yoko in the lobby.
