129 Say it on your own.

She refused to tell you anything and you came back without making her vomit the answer? Zhai Heng roared in his head as he looked at his brother who was sitting in front of him with a pondering expression on his face. He was speechless seeing Zhai Tianyu act like this– this was his brother, the same brother who came up with the scheme of taking the Liu family down, the one who ruthlessly killed the entire Shen family in one go.

But when it came to the Queen, his brother always had this lax kind of attitude that made him worry. Why was his brother so relaxed when it came to the Queen, what was with this attitude of his? Why did it look like he was getting used to trusting the Queen?

” And what if she is simply hiding the identity of the culprit?” questioned Zhai Heng as he looked at his brother with a sort of helpless look on his face with a hint of anger hidden underneath. ” We all know that our family and the Liu family have been against each other ever since the beginning, if we think about it carefully, don’t you think that the Liu family might be the one behind this? If so then she might never let you know about the identity of the culprit.”

His words sort of disappeared the haze that was covering Zhai Tianyu’s mind, making his head think of multiple possibilities but then he paused and thought about what Liu Hui Ying have told him earlier, she did not seem to care about Liu’s family at all, she only cared about the Liu family only because she wanted to protect herself by having a backing behind her and nothing more, to her the Liu family was like a shield that will protect her in the face of danger.

But other than that if he was being honest, Liu Hui Ying cared more about money other than anything. Even the Liu family has to take a second position in the list of priorities the head of the Queen.



” She is not hiding the identity of the culprit,” after thinking about it carefully, Zhai Tianyu answered his brother, he was not trying to protect the Queen but he knew that she was speaking the truth when she said that she only had a lead about the case and not the identity of the culprit. ” And I believe that even if it was someone from the Liu family, she will definitely tell me about the identity of the culprit.”

There he goes speaking like the queen was the most trusting person in his life, thought Zhai Heng as he looked at his brother who was looking at him with a determined look on his face. Seeing him act like this Zhai Heng felt like his head was going to explode, why was his brother so trusting of the queen?

” Tianyu, I am not saying this to you as your aide but as your big brother, how can you believe her like this?” Zhai Heng stared at Zhai Tianyu, this was something that he could not understand — the Queen was indeed not showing any signs of finding trouble with them but that did not mean that they could trust her without using their own brains.

“It’s because aunt has given her the mines that belonged to her when she was alive,” Zhai Chenguang did not hide anything from Zhai Tianyu, she told him about how she used her inheritance as a means to pay Liu Hui Ying. Zhai Tianyu knew that even though Liu Hui Ying was a woman who was rather weird and did not seem to have any respect for anyone — she was responsible and reliable, as long as she took the responsibility of solving the case then she will definitely do it if she was paid for her it.





.....

His aunt promised Liu Hui Ying her mine and Liu Hui Ying who was a sucker for money would not let go of this opportunity.

” WHAT!”

” WHAT?!!”

Both Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun looked at him like they were thinking of punching him in the face. They looked furious but at the same time, they looked like they were exasperated at his actions, especially Zhai Heng who was looking like he wished nothing more but to hit Zhai Tianyu.

” You...” he nursed his forehead before he closed his eyes and then breathed heavily before calming himself down. ” Your majesty, those mines are ore mines, if the queen gets ownership of those mines, do you think that she will keep it to herself? I bet she will let the Liu family take control of those mines and then what will happen to our plan? You are adding unnecessary variables that might prove dangerous to us, your majesty!”

Zhai Tianyu was very much of the danger but —

” Commander Zhai, you need to understand that Zhen cares more about the country than you,” Zhai Tianyu did not want to use his authority on Zhai Heng or Yu Lingyun but when he thought about how they might create trouble unnecessarily, he could not help but tell them to stay in their limit. ” Zhen knows what Zhen is doing, if Zhen says that the Queen will solve this case then Zhen speaks with a surety. Do you think that Zhen will do something as stupid as ruining the hard work that we have put in throughout these years?”

When Zhai Heng heard Zhai Tianyu’s stern voice he closed his mouth, he was not feeling reconciled but there was nothing that he could say now when Zhai Tianyu was chiding him for overstepping his boundaries. He knew that he might have gone overboard but he was just worried about the Liu family taking over them.

Zhai Tianyu also knew that his brother meant well, which was why he softened his voice and added, ” And this decision was taken by aunt herself, I was not the one who offered her the mines. If you have anything to say then you can ...” he extended his hand to his left where his aunt was standing and added, ” You can tell her right now.”
