Chapter 198
Hu Zhen's heart seemed to have stopped beating for an instant, and a deep sadness spread from the bottom of his heart.

How could he possibly expose it...

He killed himself to apologize and heard with his own ears that his wife asked him to die, which were two completely different feelings.He has worked for the Hu family for so many years, and his loyalty is a lesson to the world. He has worked hard even without merit. Such ruthless behavior is really chilling.

He claimed to be Hu's confidant and her right-hand man, but in the end he ended up like this. How could it not be ridiculous!

It was a warm spring day, and Hu Zhen felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body was trembling uncontrollably, and he tried his best to calm down and quickly evacuated from the yard.

Jiang Yinglian noticed a slight fluctuation outside, and quickly pushed the door open - it was empty.

She frowned slightly and glanced around, but found nothing strange.

"Lian'er? What's wrong?"

While Mrs. Hu was asking questions, a little black cat suddenly jumped out of the grass and quickly went to another bush.

"It's just a black cat, let's continue talking."

……

At Haishi, Mrs. Hu finished chatting with Jiang Yinglian and prepared to send Jiang Yinglian back to her boudoir to rest.Suddenly there was a burst of fire from the house in the distance, and a guard shouted, "Water has leaked! Water has leaked! Housekeeper Hu's house has flooded! Go get water to put out the fire!"

Soon, a maid hurriedly reported to Mrs. Hu, crying, "Madam! Butler Hu has passed away, and his body has been burned black... Madam!"

When Mrs. Hu heard the news, she paused and murmured, "Quick, help me over!"

When Mr. Hu arrived at the scene, the house was completely blackened, and a charred corpse lay on the ground. It seemed that it would carbonize at the slightest touch. Only the golden nanmu box held in his hand seemed to be intact.

That was what she rewarded Hu Zhen...

Mrs. Hu hurriedly took the box and opened it. Inside was the gold and silver land deed that was awarded to him, and a note that read,

This subordinate has a despicable life, but fortunately he is appreciated by his wife. I hope that my wife will have no worries from now on, and will rise to the top of the world.May your family be well and ask for your mercy, Mrs. Hu Zhen.

Hu's hand was shaking slightly, and the note began to dissipate after Hu took it out, just like Hu Zhen's life, turning into ashes.

"Auntie, I'm afraid he heard our conversation just now! He wants to use the golden cicada to escape from his shell! Why don't we arrest his family..." Jiang Yinglian whispered next to Hu's ear.

"Yinglian!!" Mrs. Hu scolded Jiang Yinglian in a rare loud voice, with grief in her eyes. Then she closed her eyes and tried her best to stabilize the turbulent waves in her chest.

"Let's go and bury Butler Hu safely."

"Mother..." Jiang Yinglian's tone was filled with reluctance. She turned back to look at Hu Zhen's body. It was completely unrecognizable and there was no way to identify it.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Yinglian went to Hu Zhen's home to eliminate the roots before returning to the world of immortality.After killing the last old woman, Jiang Yinglian looked around with satisfaction and left Ningguo.

Ordinary people had no power to fight back against the monks. Jiang Yinglian only moved her wrist slightly and killed all four members of Hu Zhen's family.

Hu Zhenze used the golden cicada's escape method, quickly escaped from the Jiang family, and drove his horse to Yucheng, the border of Zhao State.

At this moment, he is neither Butler Hu nor Hu Zhen. Everything in the past has nothing to do with him.As long as his family can be safe and sound under the protection of the Hu family, he can not pursue the past and disappear from their eyes, swallowing the secrets in his belly.

He believed that Mr. Hu would miss his old friendship and would definitely take care of his family.
