ATSWM Chapter 49.8

Chapter 49.8 A Fatal Misunderstanding

Jin Lanlan slowly shook her head in confusion: “Nothing more. My husband doesn’t talk much.”

Sang Yuanyuan heard heavy footsteps coming from the wooden stairs. Her heart was pounding wildly and she gently pulled You Wuming’s sleeve.

“Maybe he had said something else but you just didn’t understand it, therefore you didn’t take it to heart. Think about it again carefully, this might be the clue to his death. ” You Wuming is still in no hurry.

Huangfu Xiong has set his foot on the second floor!

Sang Yuanyuan’s heart is hanging high.

Jin Lanlan was even more confused: “……is there any? Something that I don’t……understand?”

You Wuming’s voice is even more charming: “You just said, only three-tenth? What is that? “

“Three……tenth……” Jin Lanlan tilted her head, “Only three-tenth? What……three-tenth?”

Huangfu Xiong’s figure appeared behind the carved wooden door.

“Yeah, what is only three-tenth?” You Wuming lowered his voice, “Without any beginning nor end, or maybe he is not talking to you, but to others by his side? After that, there was no more news from him, and later, he died.”

Jin Lanlan painfully covered her chest: “Could this be related to his death? Three-tenth, what three-tenth?”

Huangfu Xiong’s tall figure appeared at the door of the room. Frowning slightly, he asked: “Nephew’s wife, what death and what three-tenth?”

The stars disappeared from You Wuming’s eyes.

Sang Yuanyuan’s pupils shrank and her fingertips couldn’t help but slightly trembled.

Huangfu Xiong frowned and looked at You Wuming.

You Wuming very innocently spread his hand: “There is a yearning in this Madam’s heart, so she mentioned her late husband.”

Huangfu Xiong stared heavily at Jin Lanlan.

Jin Lanlan’s eyes gradually focused, and she turned her hand to grab Huangfu Xiong: “Foster Uncle, I suddenly remembered that Husband said a strange thing that day——Only three-tenth. I don’t know what I mean, so I didn’t take it to heart! I’m also not sure whether Husband said it to me or to others by his side……”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?!” Huangfu Xiong said angrily.

Jin Lanlan covered her mouth and sobbed: “It’s me who’s not good, because this sentence has no beginning nor end, and is too common, so, I didn’t take it seriously……”

“Three-tenth? Three-tenth?” Huangfu Xiong frowned tightly and said, “Set out at once. Return to the capital of Dong!”

He stood up, thought for a moment, took out a token and gave it to you Wuming.

“Teacher, I have something important to do, so I have to go now. Teacher, please keep this token. My token can somewhat be used within this Dong state! After writing the ending of Xiao Zhong, remember to give me a copy!”

You Wuming smiled faintly and accepted it.

When he went out, Huangfu Xiong, as if unintentionally, knocked over the long wooden box that You Wuming put into a standing position at the door, and saw a pile of silk cloth full of beautiful handwriting falling all over the floor.

As he apologized, he checked the long wooden box secretly.

Huangfu Xiong, this person, is indeed a man that is usually careless but quite sharp at times.

When he got downstairs, Huangfu Xiong pretended to pay for You Wuming’s room and asked about his rent. The inn manager did not tell him in detail and only said that You Wuming had already paid twenty two taels of silver ingots. The rent will last until tomorrow, and no more payment was required.

Huangfu Xiong secretly calculated it——He had paid for the room for eleven days, and it was due tomorrow. So the day this person stayed in the Fuling inn was the first day of the accident in Xifu. In this way, Huangfu Xiong’s heart has completely ascertained that this person had nothing to do with Jiang Jinzhen’s affairs.

He finally led the convoy away with ease.

“No wonder you paid one more day for the room!” Sang Yuanyuan was incessantly amazed. “You Wuming, are you a human or a ghost?!”

You Wuming’s face was calm: “Is this also worth making a fuss?”

But the wings can’t help sticking out already.

Seeing Huangfu Xiong going away, he leisurely took out a jade token and ordered in a slow voice——

“Kill Jiang Yanji’s senior pharmacist and spread the word ‘Three-tenth’.”
