Chapter 984

Ning Shu took the silver. As expected, he had money. But this was one of Xuan Hongyu’s bases after all.

“Bring some cooked dishes back with you,” said Xuan Hongyu.

Xuan Hongyu wasn’t someone that cared much about good food, but he was probably starting to question life after eating only the things Ning Shu cooked for this long.

Ning Shu took the silver and left. She first bought all the necessities, then started asking around about the capital.

The news she got stunned her a little. Xuan Hongyu had been pronounced dead. When the fire broke out in Changle Palace, Xuan Xiaotian hastily took advantage of this chance to announce that Xuan Hongyu had died in the fire. ‘Xuan Hongyu’ had even been buried.

Ning Shu furrowed her brows. With this, Xuan Xiaotian had directly cut off all of Xuan Hongyu’s roads of retreat. Xuan Hongyu couldn’t return to his fiefdom anymore since ‘Xuan Hongyu’ was dead. If he returned to his fiefdom, he might be arrested for posing as someone of the imperial family. This was a severe crime.

Xuan Hongyu was seriously good at courting death. He lost his own woman through his own efforts and also lost his honorable status. In the future, he wouldn’t even be able to openly say his own name.
