Chapter 974: Married

"Pei Zen killed him? What do you mean? I didn't hear him mention that at all. All he told me was that the girl he liked told him to run away with her. He fell for her only to find out that she was a psychopath. When he tried to leave, he was drugged and imprisoned," Emperor Lu Junwei told his Daughter, seemingly confused at her words.

"Where did Pei Zen come from?" he further asked. "What is all this about? How can you see what he didn't see?"

"What do you mean he didn't tell you?! He is dead! How can he tell you!" Mingyu asked in confusion.

"My dear daughter, I don't know what you're talking about, but he's alive. He is outside on an errand. You can meet him when he comes back in the evening. Maybe there has been a misunderstanding. He will clear it with you when he returns," the Emperor told his daughter as he patted her head. 

He still didn't believe her and thought that she might have misunderstood something.
