《Tiger Wife, Lion Husband (Love In The Realms) #1》Chapter 37: Investigation
Advertisement
Liu Gang had gone over to the Xue Manor, he saw Duke Xue Cheng and Duke Zhen Tao as they all greeted one another. "General Liu, we are thankful that you've come to help investigate this matter. It's just like eleven years ago."
"I'm doing it for Liang. For the woman I love I will do anything. Let us start and talk with all the servants, maids and guards." He then felt hands tug at his hand as he turned to look down. Xue Li and Xue Yahui we're crying as they looked at Liu Gang.
"Find the one who hurt your mother! Mother never did anything but she got hurt for it." Both boys were crying now as he bowed down and rubbed their heads.
"I will do it for you both also. Don't worry we'll find the one who did it." Su Rong then took over, smiling and wiping their eyes with her handkerchiefs as Duke Zhen Tao saw the flower on her handkerchief, a white lily flower as it reminded him of Su Lei's handkerchief that had a red lily.
She smiled looking down at them as she smiled. "Little boys will find the one who did it. During that time you both have to be strong and practice your martial arts." They nodded and held onto their small wooden swords. She got back up as they all went ahead into the room. Duke Zhen Tao couldn't keep his suspicion off her as he wanted to know who she was.
"I don't know how to start but General Liu do you have any ideas who would have wanted to do this?" Duke Xue asked.
"Judging from how devastated and saddened Liang is. The person wanted to hurt her and make her regret something she did but Liang has never hurt anyone but has only helped everyone." Liu Gang informed all of them. Duke Xue Cheng nodded as they were in deep thoughts.

"Rong, do you have anyone in particular that wants to hurt her? You've been with Liang since birth." Duke Xue Cheng asked her.
"I'm sorry Duke Xue but I've never met anyone who hates Liang. Everyone loves her and cares about her. Besides everyone she's met are very far away but this person knows the Xue Manor's palace very well. Everyone usually gets lost in this Manor but not this person." Su Rong said.
"So you're saying that one of the Xue family did this." They looked at Duke Xue Cheng as he sighed. "You're saying it could be Ya or Madam Shen." They all nodded as he held his head sitting down.
"Who is your mother Miss Rong?" Duke Zhen Tao then looked at her as Peng Lim stood close to her.
"My Mother is Su Lei." He then went up close to her as he then took out a handkerchief as it had a red lily.
Su Rong gasped as she looked at him. "Why do you have my mother's favorite red lily?" Su Rong took out her handkerchief as it had a white lily stitch.
"You're my daughter. Your mother and I fell in love but she chose to stay with Madam Ling. I've watched her from afar but I became busy and I never knew she had you." He looked at her as he had an expression of guilt and sadness. "You look just like your mother." Su Rong felt tears fall while Peng Lim hugged her.
"Rong, let's go outside and take a breather real quick." Peng Lim said, leading her out. Duke Zhen Tao watched her go as he sighed.

"I never knew that a child's life could be changed by such an impact of a parent's fault." Duke Zhen Tao said.

"That's how I feel." Duke Xue Cheng said as he stood up next to Duke Zhen Tao.
"It was like that with me and Yahui, he's not my real son but he endured staying with us and he held the burden of knowing I wasn't his real father. I decided to raise him as my own cause of his mother and father's fault. I'm repaying it by raising him."
"If you both want to discuss the incident another time then we can do so." Liu Gang got up as he was about to leave.
"No, let us find the culprit now. I'll have my men keep an eye on Madam Shen." Duke Zhen Tao then said.
"I'll have mine watch Ya, she may not seem like it but I worry she is more than what we see." Duke Xue Cheng could only watch as he wanted to find the one who did it. Xue Ya had seen her kind and gentle side; her hidden side was only shown to Xue Liang.
"I'll leave you both to it then. I can only let you both bring me the information." Liu Gang then said.

They nodded as one left after another. Duke Zhen Tao saw Su Rong, she was hugging Peng Lim as she cried in his arms. "I miss my mother." Peng Lim kept comforting her, having Duke Zhen Tao only allowed to watch his daughter cry in her lover's arms.
"Rong, I will definitely find the one who did this to your mother. I've already let her down, I can't let you down too." He walked off as he called his men to start the observation with Zhen Jun. Going home as Su Rong cried herself to sleep in Peng Lim's arms, carrying her bridal style to Liu Gang's Manor.

Xue Liang was drinking tea, she saw Su Rong as she quickly rushed to see her. "What happened?!"
"She met a certain man that was never there in her life." Peng Lim said as Xue Liang led him to Peng Lim and Su Rong's bed chamber.
"Let her rest and give her something simple to eat." He nodded as Peng Lim stayed with her.
Xue Liang went back to see Liu Gang was waiting for her in their bedroom. "Mind telling me why you're more concerned about your maid than your husband." Xue Liang turned around about to leave as he said, "Stop."
She closed her eyes harshly as she was turning back slowly, opening her eyes to see him in a serious but evil look. She quickly ran for it as he ran after her. She ran but he then caught her by a shortcut and carried her, tossing her onto their bed. "I'm going to punish you for all the times I said so. For going to Miss Rong first I'm not going to hold back." Xue Liang couldn't rest all night as Liu Gang wasn't going to stop.
"Gang... let me... Mhm~... rest." Her back faced him as he bit her shoulder lightly. Kissing her back, he then flipped her over as he then laid one of her legs on top of his shoulder as the other was spread to the side.
He thrusted in as she moaned coming again. "We're not done yet." His pace quickened as he then came in her as she felt sensitive all over as he then laid on top of her. Both panted heavily as she fainted from all the activity.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
