Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 89: Woman Was the Trump Card (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Xu took another sip of tea and couldn’t wait to see Zhou Xingyang’s choice.

Where did Zhou Xingyang go?

After stepping out of the door, that man thought for a moment and then went directly to Fang Qiuhua’s wife!

Yes, he didn’t go to Fang Qiuhua as the Shadow Guardian said, but went to Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan was slightly surprised when she heard from her maid that Zhou Xingyang had come, but she still immediately asked him to go to the hall.

After Zhou Xingyang went in, he didn’t hide anything. He told Zhou Huan that Xu talked with him earlier. Most importantly, he also told her those groundless words of Xu’s.

Zhou Huan was so surprised that her facial expression changed.

Zhou Xingyang hesitated for a moment and then said, “Madam, I didn’t think of this earlier, but now... I decide to tell you.”

“What’s that?” Zhou Huan asked at once.

“Madam, it’s like this. The day before the young master disappeared, he asked me to buy some drunk shrimps for him. Madam, you know that Mr. Xu likes drunk shrimps best and he likes those made by the cook in the big restaurant in Shuanghua City. I guess that the young master wanted to eat that because he missed Mr. Xu. The next day, I bought the drunk shrimps for him, but... the young master went missing.”

According to Fang Qiuhua, his son was sent out to do some business that day.

However, if the young master really needed to go out, how could he know nothing about that in advance?

Zhou Huan’s face became a little gloomy. “So you mean the young master didn’t know he needed to go out in advance?”

Zhou Xingyang nodded. “Yes, he didn’t know that in advance.”

Zhou Huan kept silent for a while, and then waved. “Alright, I got it. You can leave.”

“Yes.” Zhou Xingyang left.

One Shadow Guardian went to follow Zhou Xingyang earlier, so he got the news soon.

After coming back, the Shadow Guardian told Xu about that and Xu was extremely surprised. “What? He went to Zhou Huan?”

The Shadow Guardian smiled. “Yes, Zhou Xingyang really has brains.”

Xu didn’t understand. “Why did you say that?”

The Shadow Guardian said with a smile, “Fang Qiuhua is the leader here. Given his identity, it’s very likely that he’ll tell Zhou Xingyang to shut up and drive him away if Zhou Xingyang asks him about that. He may also use other means to hush him. But if Zhou Xingyang goes to talk with Zhou Huan, things will be different. Zhou Huan loves Fang Shuoyang very much. When she learns that his son may be imprisoned and there’s something fishy about his son’s disappearance, do you think she won’t go to talk to Fang Qiuhua? It’ll be better if she, instead of a subordinate, goes to talk with his husband.”

Xu nodded after hearing the words. “That’s right. If a woman is involved in this, it’ll absolutely be a headache and all people in Tianyin post will know this!” “Right,” the Shadow Guardian continued, “Considering our presence and Zhou Huan’s identity, no matter how far she goes, Fang Qiuhua dare not do anything to hurt her!”

“Yes.” Xu’s eyes brightened, “Because we are here.”

“Right.” The Shadow Guardian nodded.

Xu couldn’t help but clap his hands happily. “That’s good. There’ll be a good show to for us to watch.”

There was indeed a good show then!

Although Zhou Huan appeared calm in front of Zhou Xingyang, she almost tore a handkerchief in anger after that man left!

No wonder these days, she always felt there was something strange about her son’s disappearance!

Fang Qiuhua! Good! It was alright if you kept a mistress outside, but now, you even wanted to get rid of your own son?

Were you trying to bring that woman back home? Had that woman also had children with you?

Thinking of this, Zhou became so angry that she could even eat that bastard!

So she went directly to Fang Qiuhua.

Once she arrived at the place, she pounded the table in front of him.

“Fang Qiuhua! Tell me! Are you hiding our son?”

Fang’s pupils shrank greatly. Then, he scolded, “What are you talking about? Where did you hear all that bullshit?” “Fang Qiuhua!” Zhou was prepared before she came. When she was interrogating him earlier, she stared at his eyes. So, how could she ignore the little changes of his eyes?

At first, Zhou just thought that her son’s disappearance might have something to do with her husband, but now, she was quite sure!

The changes of Fang Qiuhua’s expressions could be concealed from outsiders, but since they’d been husband and wife for decades, how could that be concealed from her?

So, Zhou was so sure! “Great! Fang Qiuhua, are you still human? You kept a mistress outside. I’m fine with that. But you can’t even let go of your own son! Even a tiger will not eat its cubs. Are you still human?”

“Zhou Guan!” Fang shouted angrily, “We’ve discussed this problem many times and I’ve already said that I’m not having an affair!”

“Really? You just acquiesced in that some time ago and now you’re denying it? Fang Qiuhua, do you think I’m stupid?” Zhou was furious.

Fang’s face turned livid with rage. “I didn’t acquiesce in that. You just never listened to my explanation!”

Zhou pounded the table again in anger. “You’re still denying it? Fang Qiuhua, let me tell you, I won’t talk about that woman. Give me my son back!”

“Our son is missing. Don’t you know that I’ve sent many people to look for him every day?” Fang said.

“I don’t believe it!” Zhou Huan roared.

Fang was wrathful. “Believe it or not!”

Zhou directly jumped on him. “Fang Qiuhua, you bastard! Give me my son back! Give me my son back!”

“You’re crazy!” Fang grabbed Zhou’s hand and stopped her from beating him. “How many times do I need to tell you that our son isn’t in my hands!”

“Fine, you won’t give him to me, will you? I’ll turn Tianyin post upside down today! I don’t believe you won’t give him to me!”

After that, Zhou directly flung Fang’s hand and walked out.

Fang’s face was still livid and his teeth were gritted.

However, Zhou had already left. Once she returned to her room, she asked all her servants to search the fort.

When Xu heard the noises outside in the room, his eyes lit up immediately. “So they’ve begun the show? That’s so fast.”

The Shadow Guardian said, “I’ll tell Zhou Xingyang Fang Shuoyang’s location and ask him to find a way to let Zhou Huan go there.”

“Be careful not to be discovered.”

The Shadow Guardian smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Xu.”

Xu just said that in form. In fact, he was very confident about the Shadow Guardian’s ability.

So, Xu just went out to watch the show.

Of course, Xu didn’t plan to do anything. He would just watch it!

A “hidden weapon” hit Zhou Xingyang.

He caught the “hidden weapon” and found it was actually a note.

Opening the note, he narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, he tore the paper into pieces.

Then, he walked into the crowd and approached a maid quietly. After whispering something, he left the crowd quietly again.

Then, the maid went to Zhou Huan...

Zhou Huan told her servants to look for her son, but actually, they were doing it in a rather violent way.

She was also living in Tianyin post and she wasn’t the kind of woman who didn’t care about anything at home, so she knew several hiding places there.

After they checked two places, that maid naturally led all the people to the place where Fang Shuoyang was imprisoned.

Just then, Fang Qiuhua rushed there.

“When will you end all of this? Go back!”

Zhou Huan narrowed her eyes. “What did I do wrong? I’m looking for my own son at my own place. Am I wrong?”

“Our son isn’t here!” Fang gritted his teeth.

“I’ll see for myself!” Zhou said that while going towards the room.

As Fang was about to stop her, Xu came over with a smile.

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

Originally, Xu didn’t want to appear. However, seeing that Fang would stop her, he thought he had to come.

Fang immediately turned his eyes to Xu.

Xu said with a smile, “Madam, what are you looking for?”

Zhou looked at Xu and said, “My son.”

“What? Isn’t he missing? How is he at home?” Xu seemed very surprised.

Zhou said, “I suspect that Shuoyang did something to anger his father, so he was locked up. My husband didn’t let me know.”

“Is he in there?” Xu looked inside with expectation.

Zhou said, “We’ll see after checking the place.”

Fang said, “Honey! Stop messing around!”

Zhou got angry again. “You’re messing around! What’s wrong with me looking for my son? I must find my son today!”

Zhou, regardless of the obstruction, took the lead and rushed in...

Xu rolled his eyes and then hurriedly followed up...

Fang’s face became livid with rage and one of his subordinates said with worry, “Master.”

Fang pressed his lips. “She won’t find the secret gear.”

His subordinate felt relieved that the young master had been transferred to the first floor underground last night...

Zhou went inside and frowned at the empty room. “He’s not here. Keep searching.”

Xu also frowned. Why was he not here?

Just then, he saw something in the corner of the wall. Then, he exclaimed, “What is that?”

Zhou was just about to go out, but those words stunned her. “What?”
