Therefore, he directly went to the palace to complain to the Emperor, requesting a thorough investigation into the matter of his son's death. The Emperor, however, was busy writing down the conditions for letting the Prince of West Ridge Nation go, so why would he care about him?
"Don't you know what the nature of your own son is? Let's restrain our grief and change …"
Cen Wei had no choice but to go home. At home, Mrs. Cen was already in tears. How could she accept the fact that her only son had died?
"Mom, it must have been Princess Anning who killed him!"
Cen Shuang’er had said this more than once, but who would believe her? She and Princess Anning didn't get along, and everyone knew it, so they all thought she was just spouting nonsense.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault for causing your brother's death, you slut!"
When Madam Cen, who had just woken up with great difficulty, heard her say such words, she could not help but be filled with grief and rage. She stood up, grabbed her hair and started tearing it in disorder:
"If you didn't say that you were going to take revenge on Princess Anning, why would he meet that Lu guy? If you didn't cause a huge trouble outside, why would I send the white-haired man to the black haired man?"
"Lu?"
The speaker had no intention to listen. When Cen Wei came back, he saw his wife hitting his daughter and hearing her say something about Lu. Cen Wei couldn't help but go up to her and pull her back:
"Stop arguing. What Lu? Tell me everything properly!"
"Wuu …" Master, a few days ago, Fei'er said that she got to know someone surnamed Lu, and he can get rid of that dead girl from the Fang family. If Shuang’er hadn't offended Princess Anning, how would he have gotten to know such a person? If he didn't know her, he wouldn't have gone to the Duwei Restaurant, and such a thing wouldn't have happened, Master … "
So there were other situations in the process. Cen Wei's mind came to the point. Now, no one would help him find the murderer. He could also do it himself. He was no weaker than anyone else in power.
"Someone, go find out who that Lu guy is!"
"Father, that Lu fella lives in the Duwei Restaurant, he... "He …"
Cen Shuang’er thought about what happened during the day and didn't dare to say it again. She was afraid that her mother would scold her again for causing trouble, which was what caused Cen Fei's accident.
"What's wrong with him? Have you seen him before?"
"No …." There were a few young masters who went to the Duwei Restaurant to eat with Big Brother today. There was the son of the Zhang Tai Ming family and the son of the Duke of Wu Guo.
Cen Shuang’er finally understood the situation she was in. She caused Cen Wei to be locked up in the prison and after returning, her mother would scold her every single day.
If she let him know that her brother had died for her sake, he definitely wouldn't forgive her. Thinking about this, she couldn't tell him the truth.
"Then you said that Princess Anning killed your brother. What happened?"
If her father knew the truth, he would definitely kill her. In this family, no matter how much her father doted on her, she would never be as important as a man like Cen Fei.
"Master, beating her to death was all because she had nothing better to do and caused trouble. She was jealous of the people who did wrong and caused you to be imprisoned. Not only that, you even pestered Fei'er to go take revenge, wuu …" You damned bitch, you have to pay back my son's life!
Madam Cen continued to punch and kick Cen Shuang’er. She had completely forgotten that Cen Shuang’er's arrogance was entirely due to her spoilt personality.
Cen Shuang’er could only cry after being beaten up. Luckily, Madam Cen did not have much strength, otherwise, she would definitely have been seriously injured.
"Enough! Fei'er, my bones have not turned cold yet. Are you crazy as a mother? I will investigate this matter myself! "It's all your fault for letting him play around all day. Now that something has happened, you can blame Shuang’er for whatever she did. It's all because of you!"
Cen Wei was furious and sent a kick towards Mrs. Cen. His kick was not something his wife could endure. With a scream, he fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Mother, Mother, wu …" "Daddy …"
Cen Shuang’er had never been in such a sorry state before. Even when she had been locked up in the Sky Prison, she had never cried like this, much less felt the fear now. Her mother wouldn't have been kicked to death right?
"Mother, Shuang’er was wrong. Wake up, wake up ~ Wu …"
"Master!"
"Master!"
Only then did the servants and concubines guarding the coffin call out to him, advising him not to get angry and so on. It was only after a long time that he finally returned to his room.
"Old Master, Miss Qin has been delighted. It has already been a month, how about …"
The butler knew what his heart ached for and immediately went to report the good news.
"Miss Qin?"
Last month, when he was ordered to track down the enemies of the West Ridge, he met a woman on the road. When he was called back to the capital by the Emperor, he brought her back.
He no longer had a son. If she could give him a son, his Cen Family would not be cut off … Thinking about that woman who was as gentle as water, his heart finally calmed down a little.
"Mm, I understand. Why don't you take care of the young master's funeral first?"
On the third day, the Imperial Palace had already arranged themselves in a formation to welcome the envoys of the West Ridge. The Imperial Guards had been sent out of the palace gate.
The envoys from the West Ridge all saw that the soldiers inside were completely different from the ones outside. They all thought, "Great Kingdoms are truly different. Just look at this array. It's enough to intimidate pedestrians like them."
Every three steps, there would be a guard equipped with defensive equipment. Each of them was powerful and valiant; their faces expressionless, and their waists were straight. They gave off the feeling of someone who had mistakenly entered the military rather than the imperial palace.
This team was truly terrifying. They could only console themselves: I have come here to apologize. It is normal for them to form such a formation to welcome me. It's okay, it's definitely okay.
Along the way, they heard a loud "West Ridge envoy entering the palace to meet you" singing in their ears. This kind of strict atmosphere was suffocating.
This group of twelve ambassadors did not dare to look around, silently walking forward. From the entrance of the palace to the main hall, just walking took half an hour. This palace was truly not ordinary in size.
By the time they entered the hall, Yan Yihan was already sitting high up in the air. His Royal Highness was the official and Yan Wuzhan, who was sitting at the side.
"Western Ridge's envoy pays his respects to the Emperor of Shan Nation!"
Lu Jian took the lead in giving Yan Yihan a salute before taking out a booklet.
"Today, my West Ridge Nation has come for the sake of the crown prince. Our emperor expresses his deep regret for the great mistake the crown prince made when he was young and ignorant. Of course, the great mistake has been committed …"
"Therefore, we are willing to exchange three cities and one million gold taels to exchange for hostages with the Emperor of Shan Nation, and sign a pact between the two nations to not violate each other for five years."
