Chapter 175 Embroidered Spring Knife Zhou Miaotong 9

Zhou Miaotong rushed to Beizhai regardless of anything and said in a trembling voice: "It's me! Miaotong! Sister, don't you recognize me?"

Zhou Miaotong saw that her sister's eyes were full of strangeness, and she felt aggrieved and tears fell down.

When her house was searched, Zhou Miaoxuan had already reached the age of marriage, and her appearance was not much different from today, so Zhou Miaotong recognized her immediately after seeing her.

But Zhou Miaotong's eyes had not opened yet at that time, so it was no wonder that Hokusai couldn't recognize that the girl in front of him was his sister.

No one could have imagined that the little girl back then would grow into a beautiful lady like a flower in just a few years.

"Miao Tong? Are you Miao Tong?"

When Hokusai heard this familiar name, her eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at Zhou Miaotong carefully and saw some of her childhood appearance in her face.

She realized that the girl in front of her was her sister Zhou Miaotong, who had been separated from her a few years ago.

He immediately hugged Zhou Miaotong in ecstasy.

Hokusai was naturally also concerned about his sister. After being rescued by Prince Nobu, he begged Prince Nobu to find her. Unfortunately, he learned that she had jumped into the water and neither her body was found.

Hokusai also thought that she was the only one left in the Zhou family, so he was completely devoted to Prince Xin who promised her that he would definitely kill Wei Zhongxian.

The two sisters reunited and hugged each other excitedly.

"Sister, that's great! I finally see you again!"

"sister!"

Seeing this, Ding Xiu put away his sword. Shen Lian looked at him warily and put away his sword as well.

Here, Beizhai let go of Zhou Miaotong and asked, "I came back to look for you. I heard that you jumped into the river and no one was found alive or dead. How did you survive?"

Could it be that he was also rescued?

Seeing this, Zhou Miaotong wiped the tears from her face, smiled and looked at Ding Xiu behind her, and introduced him to Beizhai, "I jumped into the river and was washed out of the city. It was Brother Ding who saved me in the river outside the city. After that, I followed Brother Ding to learn martial arts. Two years ago, Brother Ding and I got married."

Hokusai looked at Ding Xiu with gratitude. If Ding Xiu hadn't saved her sister, she would have no relatives.

"Sister, how about you? Brother Ding and I went to Yangzhou to look for you. I heard that you were dead. I was very sad for a while!"

Hokusai raised the corners of his mouth and smiled when he heard this.

Speaking of her experience, it is very similar to Zhou Miaotong's. She was also rescued by someone after jumping into the lake, and has been living under that person's protection ever since.

The scene of the sisters' reunion eased the stagnant atmosphere in the house. But after the sisters recognized each other, Zhou Miaotong immediately proposed to take her sister away, but Shen Lian refused. He grabbed Beizhai's hand and said coldly: "I can't let you take Beizhai away! Don't you know that the master behind you wants to kill Beizhai!"

"Hokusai, sister, are you Hokusai?"

"Impossible! He won't kill me!"

The two sisters said in unison.

Ding Xiu looked straight at Shen Lian, thinking that he knew a lot.

Zhou Miaotong was about to ask more questions, but Ding Xiu raised his hand to stop her. He calmly asked Shen Lian, "What do you know?"

Shen Lian glanced at Zhou Miaotong and thought that she was Hokusai's sister, and after knowing the truth, she would not join the people behind the scenes to kill Hokusai.

After hesitating for a second, he told him that Lu Wenzhao had ordered him to kill Hokusai.

Zhou Miaotong and Hokusai were both stunned.

"I don't know Lu Wenzhao?" Hokusai looked confused.

I don't understand why they sent someone to kill her when she had no grudge against Lu Wenzhao.

Zhou Miaotong's eyes flashed with shock, and she couldn't understand why her uncle wanted to kill Beizhai. Not only did they have no hatred against each other, but they were also the followers of Prince Xin. Could it be that it was really an order from Prince Xin?

Shen Lian raised his chin slightly and motioned to Beizhai to ask Zhou Miaotong beside him.

Hokusai grabbed Zhou Miaotong's sleeve and looked at her with a puzzled look.

Zhou Miaotong spoke up under Beizhai's puzzled gaze, "Lu Wenzhao is the uncle of me and Brother Ding. He is that person's man just like you."

After hearing what Zhou Miaotong said, Beizhai's heart skipped a beat and he murmured, "Impossible, he won't kill me!"

Hokusai didn't believe that Prince Xin wanted to kill him, perhaps it was his subordinate named Lu Wenzhao who acted on his own initiative.

Ding Xiu glanced at Hokusai without saying anything.

Having been in the underworld since he was very young, he had seen everything. After listening to Shen Lian's explanation of the whole story, he immediately understood the trick.

Uncle Master is the knife under Prince Xin. The knife will not point at the enemy by itself. The direction is only controlled by the person holding the knife.

"I want to ask him clearly!" Beizhai didn't believe what they said, and stretched out his hand to Shen Lian and said, "Give me the Treasure Ship Records, and I will go to him to clarify. He will let you go!"

Shen Lian looked at her steadily without saying anything. Not long after, in just a few breaths, Shen Lian connected all the clues.

From the treasure ship falling into the water, to Guo Zhen being killed, to the current emperor being seriously ill in bed, all the calculations were for that chair.

The person who ultimately makes the most profit is the one behind the scenes.

And that person was the emperor’s younger brother, Prince Xin.

Once you understand this, everything makes sense.

Shen Lian was worried that Beizhai would be silenced by Prince Xin if he went to deliver the treasure ship minutes, so he decisively said: "I'll go for you!"

At this moment, no one present could fail to see that Shen Lian liked Hokusai.

Only Hokusai had not given up on that person in his heart and did not dare to face Shen Lian's feelings.

Ding Xiu was thinking to himself, if what Shen Lian said was true, then how good would the fate be for those of them who knew Prince Xin's secret?

He walked up to Zhou Miaotong and whispered, "If things are really as Shen Lian said, our fate will definitely not be good. You must stay close to me these days, and never leave my side. I will protect you!"

If Prince Xin really ordered Hokusai to be killed, it meant that this man was not trustworthy at all. With his ruthless and cruel character, it was not certain whether their lives could be saved, let alone the promise to kill Wei Zhongxian.

Zhou Miaotong looked serious, and she realized in her heart that Prince Xin could not be trusted. She had been blinded by his promises before.

"Okay, wait here for me. I'll go find Master and find out who gave the order!"

Ding Xiu told Zhou Miaotong to wait for her here and go back to find Ding Baiying to find out.

After returning to his residence, Ding Xiu asked Ding Baiying seriously: "Master, who gave the order to hunt down Beizhai, was it Uncle Master or Prince Xin?"

Ding Baiying was stunned for a moment when Ding Xiu suddenly asked who ordered the killing of Hokusai. "Does it matter who ordered it? She knows too much."

After hearing this answer, Ding Xiu understood that even if it was not Prince Xin's order, it was with his tacit consent.

Ding Xiu sneered, "Yes, she knows too much. Master, have you ever thought that those of us who do dirty things for him know even more? Do you think he will let us go?"

Ding Baiying's face turned pale, as if she realized this for the first time. She stammered, "No, he promised my brother that he would use him in important positions later..."

She wanted to convince herself, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became.
