In the afternoon, Xia Jingfeng went to the front courtyard, calling Xiao Chuan into the study for a private conversation that lasted a long time before he finally let her out.
Upon leaving, Xiao Chuan wore a look of triumphant satisfaction on her face.
But inside, Xia Jingfeng did not share the same good mood.
His expression had almost frozen into a glacier.
...
Ostensibly, Xiao Chuan stayed in the front courtyard to learn manners, but in reality, it was to help Xia Jingfeng with the investigation.
This matter had to be traced back to the night of the wedding.
Initially, after marrying Tang Xun, Xia Jingfeng did not wish to deal with the Tang family anymore.
(After all, he had already dealt with them once, Tang Jincai, that old man, was dismissed from his position and fined a large sum of silver, leaving nothing more to pursue.)
However, last night, the wedding night, Tang Xun cried like a weeping willow, nearly collapsing completely.
