When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 481 Wu Anjun was assassinated, seeing his father-in-law again
Li Xiuzhu was not surprised that Huang Rong was back. First of all, it was an established fact that Huang Rong had already accepted her fate.

Secondly, Huang Rong has enjoyed wonderful things after accepting her fate. Her life now is not much better than when she was Mrs. Guo.

The moment Huang Rong asked Guo Fu to come back in the end, she actually made a decision for herself, a decision with no way out.

Guo Fu's importance to Huang Rong in Yuankong is no less than that of Guo Jing, or even more important.

"Let's go!"

When the coachman drove the carriage towards the small courtyard on Zhuque Street, Huang Rong looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Is the prince so sure that I can come back?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "I'm not sure. I believe you're coming back, firstly because of my trust in you, and secondly because you asked Guo Fu to come back first."

"Based on what I know about you, even if you abandon me, you will not abandon Guo Fu."

Huang Rong didn't refute, in fact that was the case.

If she had to choose between two, she would definitely choose Guo Fu's daughter.

Because it was too late, Li Xiuzhu rested in the small courtyard and once again let Huang Rong sleep for the whole day.

After two days, he kept wandering around various places, except the palace.

After all, the palace is sensitive, so it is the place where Li Xiuzhu goes least. His initial plan is to go there one day a week.

During the day, he would take a look at Concubine Hui, then go to accompany the empress and the others. At night, he would accompany the empress dowager, and at midnight he would go to Concubine Li.

Until suddenly news came from the palace.

"You mean Mr. Wu An was assassinated?"

Looking at Ruan Wenjun and Xiao Rongyu in front of him, Li Xiuzhu frowned.

He never expected that Wu Anjun, who was guarding the dredging of the Grand Canal, would also be assassinated.

The most terrible thing is that Wu Anjun's subordinates did not come to report the news, but Wu Anjun was seriously injured.

When the news came, Bai Zhan hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't know if it was gone.

You must know that Wu Anjun himself also has first-class strength. Although he is not as good as Huang Rong and Bi Xiuxin, he is not much worse than Nalan Mingyue.

"Okay, I understand. After several court discussions, you probably understand the general method. Next, I may have to go to the south in person. It may take a few months."

"Ah? So long?"

"so long?"

The two women who couldn't help but say such words looked at each other subconsciously. With this glance, Xiao Rongyu confirmed something.

Huanwan frowned and said, "Master, I'll go with you."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head.

"You can't leave. Although there is no sign of this yet, what if the other party is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Master can only rest assured if you sit here."

Since they are all his own, Xiao Rongyu no longer worried about Ruan Wenjun, the 'mother-in-law', and asked: "Can the prince be in time for the birth of our child?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded affirmatively.

"The excavation of this section will only take a month at the latest, and it will not take more than forty days including the suppression."

"I will come back to see you after I finish this period of work. As for the follow-up, it still depends on the health and decision of my father-in-law Fu Xiangguo."

"Okay, nothing happens. I need to go to my father-in-law to discuss it first."

Li Xiuzhu stood up and was about to leave when Ruan Wenjun was silent for a moment and then said, "Will Xiuzhu come over tonight?"

Li Xiuzhu's footsteps paused. It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beauty. Having too many women is also a worry.

It looks like I have to leave later tomorrow. Fortunately, my family has been diligent in feeding me these past few days and I haven’t left anything behind. I’ll just say goodbye early tomorrow morning.

"Come here at night."

Suddenly Ruan Wenjun and Xiao Rongyu both smiled.

Xiao Rongyu and Haibie can just taste it, and leave the rest to others.

After Li Xiuzhu left the palace, he went all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.After entering the door, walk towards the backyard.

Fu Wenhan was taking a walk in the back garden, so he went to the backyard.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu, Fu Wenhan and Chen were both startled. They hadn't seen Li Xiuzhu here for a long time.

Fu Wenhan realized something was wrong first and said, "Xiuzhu, come and sit down."

As he spoke, Fu Wenhan sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion with Chen's help.

Because it was already summer, there were no cushions on the stone benches.

Fu Wenhan looked at Chen, who immediately understood.

"I'll get you some desserts while you chat first."

Li Xiuzhu glanced at Chen and said nothing.

He had no other intention, just to look at Chen's face and know that he knew about Chen's condition.

Fu Wenhan's eyes moved slightly and then disappeared.

"Is my father-in-law feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better. I can walk for a while now."

Fu Wenhan didn't even exchange greetings with Li Xiuzhu. He got straight to the point and said, "What happened?"

Li Xiuzhu originally wanted to ask about Chen's condition, but when he heard this, he got straight to the point and said, "Jun Wu An was assassinated."

"what?"

Fu Wenhan was also shocked at this time. He really didn't expect this answer. He even thought that there was a problem with Bianguan and Quanrong.

But he didn't expect that the problem was actually the place where he thought it was least likely to go wrong.

"What's going on? Do you know who did it?"

Li Xiuzhu replied: "I don't know who did it yet, but they are all top-notch martial arts masters."

"The other party stabbed quickly, completed the assassination in a cup of tea, and escaped without even leaving anyone behind."

Fu Wenhan's face darkened when he heard this. He was silent for a moment and then said, "It seems that we understand other people's snacks."

"How is Mr. Wu An doing?"

Li Xiuzhu said: "When the news came, Mr. Wu An was still in a coma. Although he is not dead, he is not far behind."

"And according to the newspaper, a total of six people came out, divided into three groups."

"But we only saw him alone, and he was covered by his colleagues."

Fu Wenhan was silent. He was determined to take over Wu Anjun's army and guard the Grand Canal's continued operation, but there were so many masters, what could he do if he was gone?
Fu Wenhan suddenly thought of Li Xiuzhu's heroic scene when he faced the assassination. He looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Xiuzhu, I want to ask you something as a father."

"My father-in-law wants me to guard the Grand Canal?"

Fu Wenhan secretly admired Li Xiuzhu's intelligence.

"Yes, I wonder if you are willing?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I guessed it before I came here. I'll make arrangements later and set off tomorrow."

"Okay, I really didn't disappoint my father... Don't worry, my father will go to the court and he won't cause chaos in the court."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, looked at Fu Wenhan's body, and asked, "Can my father-in-law go to court?"

"Well, it's not a big problem."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and didn't stop him. He asked them to give them a seat when the time came. It would only take less than two hours, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Then my father-in-law and son-in-law have to say goodbye first, and I have to say goodbye to Yuehua and the others."

"Okay, you go back first, and let Yunshuang and the others come back to live later. Although your mother-in-law didn't say it, I can tell that she misses those two little guys."
