Chapter 254 - 254 Caught

254 Caught
Kong Rui stood in front of the notice as she listened to everyone’s discussion. She felt that the fact that the queen had accepted Li Han as her goddaughter was very fishy.
However, it was better to go to the royal family personally to investigate than to listen to their discussion.
However, Hua Shang’s condition wasn’t suitable for traveling yet. If she wanted to enter the royal family, she would probably have to wait for a while.
Kong Rui was wondering if there was any other way to hear the news faster when she saw the Lei family’s carriage drive past.
The carriage was driving very fast and almost knocked down the surrounding stalls.
The stall owners pointed at the carriage and cursed, but the carriage had no intention of stopping.
Kong Rui looked in the direction the carriage was traveling to. It seemed to be… Tianxiang Restaurant.
The Lei family was in such a hurry to go to the Tianxiang Restaurant because the thing she had asked the waiter to do.
However, she didn’t expect the Lei family to go to the Tianxiang Restaurant so brazenly during the day to deal with this matter.
Kong Rui wasn’t in a hurry to chase after them. After all, her goal wasn’t to see the Lei family fretting.
Kong Rui walked back to Fragrant Garden. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Ling Nuo looking around anxiously.
As soon as Ling Nuo saw Kong Rui, she immediately ran forward. “Miss, something bad has happened!”
When Kong Rui heard this, she was no longer nervous. She only felt a sense of powerlessness.
When would something good happen?
Kong Rui didn’t ask this question. She only asked the flustered Ling Nuo, “What’s wrong? Didn’t I ask you to wait for Kong Shu and Kong Yao to return…”
“That’s right! Something happened to them!” Ling Nuo immediately reported anxiously before Kong Rui could finish.
When Kong Rui heard this news, her eyes widened. “What did you say? How did something happen to the two of them? What happened?”
Ling Nuo looked around, as if she was worried that someone was eavesdropping.
Kong Rui knew what Ling Nuo meant, so she said, “Let’s talk inside!”
This time, the two of them didn’t pass through the hall. Instead, they climbed over the tall wall of Fragrant Garden.
As soon as she entered Kong Rui’s room, Ling Nuo immediately reported anxiously, “A man in plain green clothes came to deliver a note just now. I didn’t take it to heart at first. The brothel keeper even said that she would personally give it to you when she returned. However, I saw two feathers in the note, so I became vigilant.”
“Feather?” Kong Rui’s expression became even tenser.
“Yes! I once saw such a feather in your room, so I snatched the note from the brothel keeper.” Ling Nuo spoke faster and looked even more nervous.
“The note said that the other party treated Kong Shu and Kong Yao as children raised in Fragrant Garden, so they kidnapped them.”
“What does the other party want?” Not knowing who she had provoked, Kong Rui asked anxiously.
“The other party only said that Fragrant Garden has offended someone they shouldn’t have recently and done something they shouldn’t have done. They asked Fragrant Garden to keep a low profile and shut us down for a month.” Ling Nuo took out the note with two feathers and handed it to Kong Rui.
After Kong Rui glanced at the note, she was even more puzzled. “Is the other party targeting Fragrant Garden?”
“Yes!” Ling Nuo nodded and replied, “I also feel that the other party doesn’t know Kong Shu and Kong Yao’s true identities. They might have only treated them as ordinary children raised here.”
“They probably don’t know their relationship with you,” Ling Nuo guessed.
Hearing Ling Nuo’s words, Kong Rui finally relaxed a little.
If the other party was only targeting Fragrant Garden, he probably didn’t know Kong Shu and Kong Yao’s true identities.
Otherwise, why would they turn a blind eye to the two ancient spirit beasts in front of them?
However, who was the other party?
He actually kidnapped Kong Yao and Kong Shu at the same time?
It seemed that there were still some factions that Kong Rui had not noticed in the imperial capital!
