“I don’t know. Today, I found him dead in the study. I’m investigating it. However, you should know that the only person who hates my family is Qiao Qing. She’s also the only person who has the motive and the ability to do this! Last night, she tried to kill me! Luckily, I am very good at martial arts and escaped. I bet you this is her revenge.”
Before Yin Lei could speak, Xu Mian had interrupted, “Ms. Xia, until you have evidence to show that it was Ms. Qiao who murdered your father, I suggest that you don’t draw conclusions. As for how Ms. Qiao wanted to kill you last night…” He paused, “You tried to force yourself on her boyfriend. Her desire to kill you is understandable.”
“How dare you!” Xia Houshang’s expression was unpleasant. He turned to Yin Lei, “Emperor Yin, we are in the same boat here. Your people dare to insult me and take that b!tch’s side! Aren’t you going to say something?!”
Yin Lei scolded Xu Mian and then said to Xia Houshang, “Then, Houshang, I hope you recover from your loss. Duke Xia is one of the pillars to the success of the Country of Summer. His sudden death is strange. As the leader of this country, I will not let it go uninvestigated! I will for sure figure out who did it and punish them accordingly!”
Xia Houshang nodded.
Yin Lei bit his lips and then coughed. He cut to the chase, “Houshang, I am very much in pain from Duke Xia’s passing. However, the Country of Summer is under a lot of pressure and hardships. Many countries are keeping their grasp on us and even within this country, the Quan family is waiting to revolt.”
“The Xia family sponsors the soldiers of this country. If the news of Duke Xia’s death circulates around, Country Ruan will for sure take this opportunity to attack. The Quan family may also see this as a chance to seize power.”
“So, I plan on keeping this news a secret. How do you feel about that? Of course, once I figure out the murderer and revenge Duke Xia, I will plan a glorious funeral that honors his life.”
Xia Houshang played with her hair, “That could work.”
Before Yin Lei could express his happiness, Xia Houshang spoke again, “But Emperor Yin should show some sincerity.”
Emperor Yin’s smile disappeared a little, “What would you like? Ah right, though you are a girl, you are just as good as a boy. I’m thinking after the funeral, I will grant you his Duke position. You will then become the only Duchess of this country. How does that sound for sincerity?”
Xia Houshang’s brow jolted up. But she soon remembered what she actually wanted and spoke up, “Emperor Yin, you sure plot out everything for your own benefit. The entire gun operation of this family is run by me and I am the only child of the Xia family. Naturally, I should be the one who inherits his Duke position.”
“Though this country doesn’t have a Duchess right now, there have been instances of them before. How are you demonstrating your sincerity by offering something so mundane?”
Yin Lei’s heart dropped but he continued to smile, “Then, Houshang, what would you like?”
“Emperor Yin, you should know better.” Xia Houshang said, “You know I like Jun Yexuan. The only bargaining chip you have is him.”
Yin Lei raised an eyebrow, “To tell you honestly, just now, I received the news that he is no longer sick from the venomous creature. I lost my control over him.”
Xia Houshang frowned at the news and she crossed her arms, “That’s for you to deal with. I only care about the result. I don’t care what method you use, I just want him. You can do whatever it takes.”
Her words made Yin Lei’s heart drop yet again.
