Chapter 416 - A Very Lucky Man

"My wife is amazing, even without me you can push the information further than I could be" a familiar baritone voice startled everyone in the bas.e.m.e.nt room.

"Milord!" Mong Gui and Yu Rui abruptly knelt on the floor simultaneously.

Lory beamed with excitement "You're home!"

He strides toward Lory as he patted her head gently "I'm home…but keep it a secret, I can't return too early or I will raise other people suspicion" 

"Oh right, your disguised was wear off too" Lory realizes Zhao Li Xin comes with his original looks, it's been three days since she activated the spell no wonder his disguised is wearing off.

"Where's the tiger's cub?" Lory tilted her head curiously.

"Inside my ring, I let him stay there until I pass it to that woman," said Zhao Li Xin.

"Should you give the cub to Nan Yu Qi, she will use the cub as a weapon tool" Lory was disheartened giving the small cub to a woman like Nan Yu Qi.

"Don't worry, when I ever give my enemy advantaged" he devilishly smiles and his smiles give goosebumps to his subordinated, they all knew is never gonna be a good end when they Lord smiles like that.

"As long the innocent cub unharmed…" Lory sigh in relief, she loved small and furry animals even though it's a baby tiger so what? Cute is cute, just see Zhao Li Xin!

Mong Gui pulls the stool next to Lory for his Lord to take a seat, while Yu Rui is standing on the corner not dare to lift her head. Too many scary rumor about Zhao Li Xin circling around Hei Shen Sect, her King palace Bei Li Yan reminds them repeatedly not to betray their Lord and cross his boundaries as long they understand this, Hei Shen is a great place to live in.

But some women didn't take heed of Bei Li Yan warning, they thought they are beautiful enough to seduce their Lord or smart enough to gain the Lord's interest but at the end of the day, none of them returned. So it was shocked when she sees how much Zhao Li Xin pampered his wife, she had heard the rumor, but heard it and saw witness it with her own eyes are two different matters.

"So tell me what you know!" said Zhao Li Xin with amused smiles.

"Here, check Jin Hao reports, I think you will understand too after you read it, after all, you send this messaged to Jin Hao because you already estimated this, don't you?" Lory hands the open envelope to Zhao Li Xin "I hope you don't mind I read it first" she doesn't want him to think she oversteps her boundaries.

"Silly, everything I have is yours you don't need my permission for this simple matter" Zhao Li Xin chuckles as he opens the letters.

Meanwhile, Mong Gui and Yu Rui's mouth hang open they were struck dumb by Zhao Li Xin's gentle voice, they blink their eyes repeatedly to make sure they not dreaming, since when their Lord able to talk like a human being.

Lory didn't notice other people reaction since she waiting for Zhao Li Xin to finish reading the letter, then a minute later he folded the letter as he looks at Lory with meaningful smiles "Tell me what you think, let's see if we thought the same"

Lory raised her brows as her expression question him 'are you testing me?' but Lory didn't mind to humor him "Mo Xin Gi is poisoned by a certain drug called Xan Bu Wan, according to Jin Hao Xan Bu Wan is not really a poisoned is more likely a tonic to strengthen oneself body, but this is a potent drug, it cannot consume too much or too often if not the result will be dreadful"

Lory sigh as she crossed her arms "The drugs are tasteless and colorless but it has a distinctive odor, someone like Mo Xin Gi should able to pick up the strange smell and I think someone like him is cautious too, he would be careful to consumed food or beverage outside his place so is certain that perpetrator is someone inside the Mo family, someone he trusts, someone who will not be questioned"

"Mo Ning Yuan!" Mong Gui and Yu Rui shriek in tunes.

"That would explain her sudden hobby with cooking soup for her brother, even if Mo Xin Gi smells something weird he might think his sister just start learning and perhaps add something wrong" Lory prop her chin on the table.

"Oh, I haven't heard about this" Zhao Li Xin didn't sound angry but instead she sounds amused.

"Then you should praise Yu Rui for pick up this valuable information if not I wouldn't know it was Mo Ning Yuan" Lory smiles as she praised Yu Rui earnestly. Lory is never cheap when it comes to complimenting her subordinated if they do something wrong she would punish them but if they do a great job she will praise them, it just something she picks up when she observed her Father managed their kingdom.

Yu Rui's face becomes as red as boiling crab "I – I do not dare! This is old information, I should report this a long time ago but I thought this is insignificant so I never tell anyone" Yu Rui bend her waist into ninety degrees as her voice becomes stuttered from embarrassment and shammed. She feel she not worthy of the praise and yet she feel honor.

Lory laugh softly as she thought Yu Rui behavior is cute "Don't say that, you earned it, both of you do a great job" lory clapped her hands abruptly "Let's continue, Mon Gui we need to arranged the wall again!"

"Understood young madam!" he cupped his fist courteously is clear to see that Mong Gui respect Lory words.

Lory points her finger on Mo Ning Yuan face painting "Put her picture on the top and put all the pictures of men who had slept with her, at least that we know of…so far" 

While Mong GUI rearranged the painting on the wall lory brew herself a warm tea while instructing Mong Gui again "Okay, put Mong Xin Gi picture beside Xie Hua ling, Yu Rui write the word 'frenemies' between them"

"Yes, young madam!" Yu Rui does as Lory command. she understands right away after working with lory for a few days.

"Write 'dead by poison' under Mo Xin Gi painting," Lory said again as she continues to brew her tea "That's good!" Lory watch her subordinated doing with a satisfied expression

Just by looking the information on the wall Zhao Li Xin understand what happened when he's gone, at first, he thought the investigation would be stalled when he's gone, perhaps they would gather small news but he's not expecting anything major since he only left for three days but now…..he was astonished.

He would never have guessed that Mo Ning Yuan have an illicit relationship with the elder of Xie family and Xie Hua Ling, he knew Mo Ning Yuan is promiscuous women but he never thought she would go this far to gain power. The information is too shocking, he well aware lory was the one who directs the flow of the investigation and judging by how obedient and respectful his two subordinated are, they might gain a lot of benefit by followed her direction, he can't help to stare at Lory with shocked and deep admiration, his princess never failed to amaze him.

Who said his princess is only a useless waste woman who had no ability but hides under his wings, if only they know how special his princess is, how strong and smart she is. the truth is lory didn't need him she can accomplice a lot of great things on her own if only she shows a little bit of her ability, fortunately, Lory reciprocated his love and grace him by staying on his side, he is indeed a very lucky man.
