TFDC Chapter 178.1


Chapter 178.1 - Lost their left arm


“Father!” Li Jingsheng shouted, using his arms to shield his head, but he didn’t dodge.

His heart was beating fast.

He was betting, betting that Li Miao didn’t actually want to kill him!

Li Miao’s sword indeed, didn’t fall down on him.

He angrily threw it on the ground before turning around, his back facing Li Jingsheng.

“Fa … father, are you misunderstanding something?” Li Jingsheng had only just saved his little life, his heart was shaking as he spoke tentatively.

If Li Jingsheng’s sword had struck him, he would’ve lost half of his life.

But luckily, he bet correctly.

Li Miao was only suspicious that he killed Li Ziqing, but he had no proof.

But, if he did dodge just then, that would’ve meant he was guilty.

Luckily, he chose correctly.

He carefully glanced at Li Miao and seeing he didn’t say anything, Li Jingsheng began to kneel in a formal manner.

His head was touching the ground.

After a long time, Li Miao finally moved.

His eyes were red as he staggered over to the box, pulling it to his chest as he hoarsely shouted. “Qing’er, it was me, your father, who didn’t protect you! To let you die so tragically! And you!”

He whipped around, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Li Jingsheng, “What did you promise me back then? You said you’d take care of your third brother, but how did you take care of him for him to end up like this?!”

“Father, I’ve been framed! I really didn’t know that this would happen! I’d rather that the person who died was me … if only that could make farther less heartbroken!”

LI Jingsheng kowtowed hard, his head hitting the ground repeatedly as his forehead started to bleed.

Li Miao finally believed him, feeling that he’d gone overboard.

He slowly helped Li Jingsheng up.

“Rise, this old man is just too heartbroken. I didn’t mean to blame you. But who could be so hateful? To actually do this to Qing’er? Go investigate! You definitely have to investigate clearly!”

“Yes, father, believe me. I will take revenge for third brother! Jingsheng will definitely take revenge for him!” Li Jingsheng wiped his face, wiping away the sorrow on his face.

He gripped his fist as he raised it to the sky and swore.

Li Miao’s expression then grew better.

But that calm only persisted for a few seconds before someone knocked on the study.

“What is it?” Li Miao forced himself to calm down before opening his mouth.

“Lao, laoye, it’s bad …”

“What is it now?!” Li Miao shouted impatiently.

What exactly was it with today?

It was just bad luck after bad luck!

“Laoye … the palace has sent an announcement that Miss Shangguan … has killed herself.”

-- Leaning Wind Pavilion

Thousand Face received news from the Li residence and came out with a cocky expression on his face.

“Master, the Li residence is a total mess now. You didn't even see but it’s so busy.”

“Oh? What are they busy with?”

“When Li Miao saw the human head, he called Li Jingsheng over and tested him out. But Li Jingsheng is a bit smart and dodged his tests. But when they received news that the future second prince’s consort killed herself, it spread so quickly through the Li residence.”

Thousand Face swallowed some tea to wet his throat before continuing.

“Of course, this was with my help behind the scenes. When that Mrs Fan-Li and the Li family’s old madam heard that news, they couldn’t sit still. Li Miao didn’t think that they’d run to him and mess up his plans. Then when that Mrs Fan-Li saw Li Jingsheng, she went ballistic on him. Then she accidentally knocked over the box with the human head. When the head rolled over to the old madam’s foot, she was so frightened that she fainted. Aiyo, it really was the heavens helping me. Now, the Li residence definitely can’t return to normal in at least half a month.”

Lou Qingwu listened to him quietly before sipping on some tea.

“En, what’s happening with the third prince’s residence?”

“The people that we sent over said that when the third prince received news about Miss Shangguan, he was so angry that he nearly jumped out of bed. He probably only just remembered that he still had heavy injuries, so he forced himself to lie down. In the end, he dispatched people over to the palace to check the news. Master, the third prince would definitely investigate thoroughly, what do we do?”

  3. The Li family , the 3rd Prince how much more chaos can they stand? I'm loving it. I can see the 3rd Prince jump up to run and suddenly collapse from the pain. Too funny to bear.
