Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Qiao Sha's expression was rather ugly as she stared at the corpse that was thrown in front of the county magistrate's office. This was not just murder but a blatant provocation to her and Li Wan.

" Did your guards catch anyone?" Qiao Sha looked at Li Wan who shook her head. " This was done really carefully," Li Wan told Qiao Sha. " From what my guards told me this corpse was not here when they were patrolling the area but it was dropped when the second team returned which means that it happened within two minutes. It seems like we have a very skilled assassin hiding in the town."

Only someone whose martial arts was on par with Qiao Sha could drop the corpse in front of the county magistrate's office and then vanish so quickly.

Qiao Sha's expression if possible became even more ugly. She should have known that Xian Xieren would not sit still and send one of her best assassins to the Big River Town. Now she was really worried that if Xian Zhenya was caught by these assassins then it would be really troublesome.

This was the most crucial time when the second princess was preparing her own army to fight with the eldest princess. If something happened to her at this moment then the one who would be in total control would be Xian Xieren, that tyrant!

" I will send the guards to lock the town up," Qiao Sha spoke but she was stopped by Li Wan who shook her head and then said,

" There is no point in locking the town. Those assassins seemed to be skilled they were not only hiding in the town right under our nose but they didn't seem to be scared of getting caught. Even if you lock the town, it might only scare the people and make them question the government even more. Do not forget that we are having trouble controlling the situation of drought."

Li Wan's expression was not good when she said this, she was obviously trying to control the situation in the town but the more she tried to control it the more, Xian Xieren and her people caused trouble for her. Now she could only hope that the second princess was ready to tackle that woman as soon as possible.

Qiao Sha also understood what Li Wan was saying. After all, the fear of danger was much more difficult to control than the drought situation. If the officials and the commoners found out that the town was in danger and they tried to keep the matter hushed up, they might rebel.

" Then what are we supposed to do?" Qiao Sha asked. She was witty when it came to leading an army to war but she did not know how to deal with such things.

" For now take the corpse and bury it respectfully in the mass grave," Li Wan said with an unsightly expression. " I will ask Miss Yu to help me in opening a few more food and water counters, Xie Xieren.. that woman is bent on pushing us into a corner so she will definitely send us some relief. We can only rely on ourselves for now."

She paused and added, " While you should add more shadow guards. If the assassins are hiding in the town they would definitely be somewhere close to us, I don't think that we will not catch them."

Li Wan wanted to keep the town cut off from the trouble of the court but the more she wanted peace, the more it seemed impossible to achieve.

" Fine," Qiao Sha said as she ran her fingers through her hair. She glanced at the skinless corpse and pursed her lips, however, she did not think that it would be that easy. From the looks of it, this assassin was not only slippery but rather smart as well.

On the other hand, when the dawn broke everyone in the Yu family woke up. Just like always they started to stock the vegetables and meat in the carriage, Yu Tong was doing the same until someone caught her by her arm and then dragged her away and before she could even say a word—— the sound of a crisp slap echoed in the surroundings.

" You b*tch, you seemed to have grown your wings huh?" Second Aunt Yu fiercely scolded Yu Tong the second the two of them were alone. She glared at her daughter who was now like a stranger to her and then said coldly, " How heartless can you be huh? Your brother went to the mall and you pretended to not know him, do you even know what kind of opportunity he missed because of you?

If you had introduced him to the magistrate and marquis then he would have climbed up the social ladder, are you so…" She pressed the heel of her palm on Yu Tong's forehead and pushed her back.

" Are you so much of an idiot that you cannot even understand something so simple?"

Second Aunt Yu felt her heartache when she thought about how her son missed such a great opportunity. If Yu Tong had been sensible enough and introduced Yu Cheng to Li Wan, Qiao Sha and Song Yixu, her son's future would have been settled.

The three of them would have shown enough respect to Yu Cheng on account of Yu Dong. As for her son relying on Yu Dong, Second Aunt Yu did not think there was anything wrong with it. Yu Cheng was the youngest in the family, so it would be fine if Yu Dong helped her cousin out a little.

Yu Tong licked the blood that was sticking to the corner of her mouth. It was enough to see how hard Second Aunt Yu slapped her just now. With her eyes glazed with a layer of ice, Yu Tong looked at her mother and then said coldly, " Firstly, I did not see him and if he was at the mall why didn't he come to greet me? Is he the Emperor? That I need to go and meet him on my own whenever he is near me?

Secondly, those connections belong to sister Dong and not me. I am not shameless enough to jump in between."
