Chapter 701 (2): You Are Not
The cloaked man’s eyes shimred with iciness. “You should discipline him properly so that he doesn’t ruin important matters.”
“You should already know that he understands how to stay in line when handling important matters.”
Lanshan paid no further attention to him and sat down nearby, continuing to flip through her scriptures.
Seeing her actions, the cloaked man also didn’t make any further comnts.

Pri Minister Residence
Plagued by his thoughts, Pri Minister Wen sat in his study looking at the invitation in his hand as if it were lit on fire. He knew that this invitation was akin to a court sentence.
It was now that Mada Wen walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup, but she couldn’t keep the disdain from welling up in her heart when she saw his frustrated expression.
“Patriarch, why don’t you drink so soup?”
“Take it away, I don’t need it.” Pri Minister Wen said emotionlessly.
Mada Wen smiled. “Do you have any matters that are troubling you, Patriarch?”
Her words caused Pri Minister Wen to flip the bowl onto the floor. “You still dare to ask ? It’s all thanks to the trouble you have stirred up.”
“What do you an, Patriarch? What trouble has your wife stirred up?” Mada Wen’s countenance did not belie her true thoughts.
“Don’t think that I don’t know about what you’ve done. The only reason I’m not settling the score is because of our son.” Pri Minister Wen looked at her coldly.
Mada Wen couldn’t help but sneer when she heard what he said, but she still maintained a dignified disposition. “That’s right, your corruption is my fault, and you secretly hiding the imperial secret scrolls is also my fault.”
Pri Minister Wen’s expression was distorted with ire. “How do you know about that? Who told you?”
“The only way to prevent others from knowing is to not have done it.” Mada Wen’s expression was arrogant as she mocked him.
Pri Minister Wen imdiately detected that sothing was amiss. “Who are you? You are not my main wife.”
“Oh? Are you sure that I am not your main wife?”
“You…” Before he could finish his sentence, Pri Minister Wen had collapsed on the floor.
At this mont, ‘Mada Wen’ removed a mask, revealing a delicate and pretty face underneath. If Yun Ruofeng had been here, he would have received a massive shock; the person’s face was the sa as Chu Xian’s, as if the two were twins!
No one would have expected this person to appear in Xiliu.
“Master, what are we going to do with him?” A man in black asked expressionlessly.
His master smirked. “Take him to the underground prison. From today onwards, you will be Pri Minister Wen.”
The man in black nodded, putting on a mask that held Pri Minister Wen’s likeness.
The person who looked similar to Chu Xian smiled before walking out of the study, his eyes instantly becoming dazed and clear like an ignorant child.
“Young Master, I have been searching all over for you. Why have you co to the Patriarch’s room?” A maidservant asked.
“I wanted sweets. Where did the sweets go?” He kept crying with a foolish expression.
Contempt flashed in the maidservant’s eyes as she pulled him away, missing the coldness in the supposedly foolish man’s eyes.
Upon waking up, Pri Minister Wen found himself in a prisoner’s room, and kept knocking the walls. What on earth is going on? Who exactly wants to harm ? Anybody who could infiltrate the Pri Minister’s Residence under the guise of my main wife without any mistakes is not to be reckoned with.
After pondering for a long ti, he set his suspicions on Hua Zirong. Could it be him? Does he want to dispose of secretly? But if he wanted to deal with secretly, why did he bother sending to ng County?
Turbulent thoughts swept through Pri Minister Wen’s mind, but at the end of it all, he was still as lost as a lone boat in the middle of a raging ocean.
anwhile, everything that had happened in the Pri Minister Residence had been observed by an unnoticed pair of eyes.
