The General's Little Peasant Wife [121++]

Chapter 406 - 410

Chapter 406

Xiao Qi Feng was not satisfied with how things had become. He had lost the decisive opportunity because of the obstruction by members in the imperial court. Because of that, Xiao Qi Feng had some suspicion towards them.

Just when a great wave hit the Li Family, Marquis Ling, who had been keeping a low profile recently, laughed in his study room: “Haha, I found it, I’ve finally found it,” The people they sent out finally found that army, everything would be simple as long as he brought the army out, Xiao Empire would soon belong to his Ling Family.

Thinking that he would be taking that throne not long in the future, Marquis Ling’s eyes were filled with fervent joy.

Ling Luo frowned when he saw Marquis Ling acting like that, he felt that this matter seemed to be...... too simple.

“Father, I feel this matter is too simple, something does not seem to be right,” Ling Luo said while feeling worried.

Even when they were very careful in their actions, there were still some noticeable traces, how could Xiao Qi Feng, the monarch of an empire, not know about it?

It does not match Xiao Qi Feng’s character, he was considered a very shrewd person, it was impossible for him not to notice it.

“There’s no need to be so careful, even if Xiao Qi Feng has many methods, he had just ascended the throne not long ago, how much authority could he have?” Other than people from Qiao Tian Chang’s side, there were not many people in the court loyal to him. Marquis Ling was very confident about it.

Ling Luo still wanted to say something, but seeing Marquis Ling unwilling to talk about it, he could only suppress all his worries.

In the shadows, Ling Luo had sent people to keep an eye out on Qiao Tian Chang and others, afraid something would come up.

At the same time, the person Ling Luo sent to investigate Xiao Zi Xuan had returned.

“How is it? What have you found out after so many days?”

“Madam had already cut off all ties with Duke Xiao.”

His subordinate’s words caused Ling Luo to narrow his eyes, there were thoughts in his eyes, it was not known what he was thinking about.

“When did this happen?”

”It was that day when madam was called by Duke Xiao to return to the Xiao residence.

“Do you know why?” Ling Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

It was no wonder why Xiao Zi Xuan had such an expression that day, that was the reason.

The corner of his lips curled up, there was a mocking smile on his face, his expression was also sinister.

“It’s because madam had stolen the secret order, Duke Xiao was so angry that he cut all relations to madam.

Ling Luo nodded expressing he understood, he waved his hand and sent him away.

Now that Xiao Zi Xuan had no more relationship with Xiao Residence and that they had also found that mysterious army, there was no need for him to continue putting up a show of affection towards Xiao Zi Xuan.
