Chapter 298: Is it War or Peace

As the sun set, it was time to go to the banquet.

Wei Ruolan paced back and forth in the living room of the Criminal Department Courtyard, feeling restless and confused.

Although he was currently in a dormant period, he was still very attentive to Sun Shaozong's every move. He even knew earlier about the invitation sent by the Xue family to Sun Shaozong.

So when the servant of the Xue family returned and sent him and Qiu Yunfei a post, how could Wei Ruolan not know? This was the intention of Sun Shaozong.

So he felt a difficulty in his heart.

If he went, looking at Xue Pan's initial attitude, he knew that Sun Shaozong must be the most respected person at the banquet. That group of people surrounded him with stars and moons, preferring to use themselves as foils. Thinking about it, he felt uncomfortable all over.

If he didnt go, compared to Sun Shaozong's attitude, it would appear that he was too narrow-minded, and lost his impression in the circle of the four major families.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Wei Ruolan became. He stormed his foot and shouted, "Private Advisor Qi, come in with me first.

Due to his close relationship with Prince Beijing, this Private Advisor Qi naturally has a very different status from other advisors.

Therefore, after entering the door, he didn't wait for Wei Ruolan to ask and he arched his hand and advised, "From my perspective, Master shouldnt only go to the banquet but also be at the banquet and try to ease the conflict with Lord Sun as much as possible.

What do you mean by that?

What about easing the conflict, to put it bluntly, was he trying to just let Wei Ruolan voluntarily bow down to Sun Shaozong at the banquet?!

How could Wei Ruolan accept this suggestion?

Even if he was a bit annoyed, he swung his sleeves and wanted to scold Private Advisor Qi.

Unexpectedly, Private Advisor Qi rushed to remind him, "Don't forget, Master. Recently, your mother has been planning to arrange for the marriage of you and the Baoling Marquis family. At this critical moment, it's not advisable to fight against Sun Shaozong and lose both ways.

Upon hearing this, Wei Ruolan's words were paused and he immediately choked back.

This marriage could be said to be another strategic alliance between the Wei family after marrying their daughter to Prince Beijing.

Naturally, the goal was to inherit the political legacy of the Baoling Marquis's previous generation and solidify the Wei family's recently attained affluent status.

That witch, that witch must have come.

Steward Liu blurted out, but under the cold gaze of Sun Shaozong, he had to mutter, "I was protecting the Young Master at that time and didn't send anyone here to guard. I really don't know who came in.

That was to say, everyone in this mansion has the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to remove the things pressed under the blanket.

And now that more than three hours have passed, as long as the killer was not mentally disabled or had another plan, the evidence might have already been destroyed.

Tch!

It seemed that they could only do their best and obey fate.

Constable Zhao.

Yes sir.

Zhao Wuwei quickly arched his hand and couldn't help but inquire, "Your Excellency, should we go and arrest that witch now?

Bullshit! Cough Nonsense. Now that there's no evidence at all, how can you arrest someone indiscriminately?!" Sun Shaozong angrily scolded. "You stay here and take someone to carefully search around the Chen Mansion, focusing on finding those objects with big palms, sweet scents, and human shapes.

When Zhao Wuwei obediently obeyed, Sun Shaozong pulled up the bedding and the mat underneath, stuffed them into his arms, and ordered, "Also, take this thing to the pharmacy to see if they can distinguish something from the smell emanating from these traces.

Hmm

Zhao Wuwei furrowed his face and hesitated. "I'm afraid it's..."

I asked you to give it a try, but I didn't say you had to find out anything.

Sun Shaozong glared and waited for Zhao Wuwei to step down. He called Qiu Yunfei and sent Chen Bo back to the government office together. They then took off his official robe and changed into casual clothes, hurriedly rushing to the Dingxiang Tower for the banquet.

When they arrived at the Dingxiang Tower, they saw that although the banquet had not yet been held, everyone who should have come had already arrived, including Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian, and Jiang Yuhan, as well as several famous prostitutes from the Capital. A large table was filled with people.

Wei Ruolan was also among them!

However, what Sun Shaozong was curious about was not him, but Jia Rong, the Young Master of Ningguo Mansion, who even joined in the excitement.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
