Chapter 121: Evil Spirit

Pei Jingming sent Qu Ling to the Princess's residence and chatted with him for a few minutes.

Until the eldest princess urged him to go back quickly.

He then got up and went to Pei's house.

Pei Mansion is not very close to the Princess Mansion, and it takes about half a cup of tea to get there by horseback.

As soon as I walked through the gate, I saw Pei Qi standing in the yard.

"How shameless." Pei Qi's face was full of contempt.

Pei Jingming was not angry at all. Instead, he grinned and said, "Who is shameless? Why are you shameless?"

"Why are you called here so late? What are you doing? Do you really think others don't know?" Pei Qi was extremely angry.

Pei Jingming smiled even more happily, "So what if you know?"

"You!" Pei Qi cursed, "You have no sense of shame."

Pei Jingming glanced at his lower body and said meaningfully, "If you want to be shameless, you will never have the chance in this life."

Pei Qi's body tensed up, and a flash of fear flashed across his eyes.

The thing he regretted most in his life was marrying the eldest princess.

I thought it was the beginning of a wonderful life, but it turned out to be the first step into hell.

The second step is to adopt the child.

When he took the initiative to propose marriage, everyone thought he was deeply in love, but in fact it was his mother's idea.

His mother, Mrs. Pei, had close contacts with the old lady of the Song family.

When she learned that the Queen Mother Song was so angry that she couldn't eat because the eldest princess gave birth to a daughter whose father was unknown, she wanted to find a son-in-law for the eldest princess, so she started to think about it.

He is willing to be Zhao Yuanrong's cheap father.

I only hope that Empress Dowager Song will value the Pei family.

Later, the eldest princess did not allow him to get close to her and even took a concubine for him.

But would he dare to stay overnight in his concubine's room?

We cannot ruin the reputation of deep affection that we have worked so hard to build, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of Empress Dowager Song.

Until he was adopted by Pei Jingming.

He thought that the child he had carefully selected was actually the one carefully raised and sent to him by the eldest princess.

He only found out about this after Empress Dowager Song died.

Pei Qi didn’t know whether Pei Jingming was a descendant of the Pei family.

After adopting Pei Jingming, Pei Qi always felt uneasy.

He didn't get any benefits, can't he even have a biological child?

The more I think about it, the worse it gets.

He didn't dare go to his concubine's room, but only secretly favored the maid in the house.

If you like someone, call him to the outer study to serve him.

Until one sunny afternoon, Pei Jingming pushed open the door of the outer study, holding a knife, which became the nightmare of his life.

"You love Her Royal Highness the Princess, so you should remain faithful to Her Royal Highness."

The knife in Pei Jingming's hand was dripping with blood, but he still had a smile on his face.

When Pei Qi woke up again, he was in excruciating pain.

The eldest princess was sitting in his room, with Pei Jingming standing beside her with an innocent look on his face.

Seeing that he was awake, Pei Jingming spoke aggrievedly, "Mother, he shouldn't have lied."

Where's the affection you promised me? Why are you still hanging out with others?

Pei Qi touched it with his hand, and the empty lower body made him collapse and go crazy.

The seven-foot-tall man burst into tears.

He wanted to kill Pei Jingming.

He wanted to kill that beast.

"Jingming is still young, don't bother with him," the princess said lightly, "You just lost something insignificant."

The eldest princess seemed to want to comfort him, "Your status as a prince consort will not be affected."

Pei Qi's eyes turned black when he heard this.

Is this something a human can say?

What are insignificant things?

He wanted to say something more when he saw the eldest princess ordering a female official to bring over a set of eunuch's clothes.

"Do you want to continue to be a prince consort, or do you want to be a eunuch in the princess's mansion?"

A naked threat.

Pei Qi almost vomited blood.

This is to let him keep quiet and not pursue the matter.

Pei Qi suffered such a great loss, but he had to swallow it.

This matter was not hidden from the Empress Dowager Song.

But the Queen Mother Song would not make a decision for him. Instead, she sent someone to reprimand him.

Everyone knew that he had pretended to be affectionate when he proposed to her.

If you want to pretend, then pretend for the rest of your life.

Otherwise, wouldn't the world think that she, the queen mother, has no vision and is harming her own daughter?

Pei Qi finally understood that he had been stabbed in vain.

The Pei family was already in decline and had no one with a say in the court.

The eldest princess and he lived in separate houses.

As Pei Jingming mocked him, "It's not even worth using."

"He wouldn't even bother stepping on Song Guang's face."

Pei Qi really couldn't jump up.

When Empress Dowager Song was alive, the Pei Mansion was already under the rule of Pei Jingming.

What's more, the eldest princess is extremely powerful now.

He could do nothing but make a few sarcastic remarks.

"You should thank me," Pei Jingming's words brought Pei Qi back to reality. "If it weren't for that blow from me, you might not even be the consort of the emperor, and you might as well be dead."

He was still smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Pei Qi was furious and helpless. "You will never be able to have the status of a consort like me in your lifetime."

He actually knew that the princess called Pei Jingming over for important matters, but he deliberately thought of it in a disgusting way.

He also knew that he was still alive today because he was stabbed and the princess asked him to keep quiet as compensation.

It was this little reliance that allowed him to satisfy his craving for pleasure.

It's just a way to satisfy your craving for it.

Pei Jingming's calm eyes suddenly condensed into a storm, and after a long time, he slowly spoke, "How do you know that I can't get it?"

He was too lazy to say any more words and strode away.

Pei Qi snorted and walked in the opposite direction.

When it was daybreak, the people in the capital were relieved to see the white flags hung up again in the Dingxiang Marquis' Mansion.

"Another death in the Marquis' Mansion."

"I think it's a ghost."

"There must be a ghost."

…

On that day, several groups of Taoist priests and monks went to the Marquis's mansion, claiming that there was an evil spirit in the mansion and wanted to exorcise the evil spirit and avoid disaster for the Marquis.

Qu Xin was heartbroken and furious.

Where is the evil?

It's obvious that someone is causing trouble intentionally.

He resented Qu Ling.

Hate her so much that she wants to kill her.

Qu Xin locked himself in the room and wrote a complaint accusing Qu Ling of murder.

Finally, he cried in despair.

There is no evidence.

Song, Qu Yi, Qu Heng, and the old lady, none of them died directly at Qu Ling's hands.

Even though he knew that there was something fishy about Prince Xu's appearance in Song's room, he could not produce any evidence that Qu Ling did it.

Qu Xi became increasingly depressed and got drunk, leaving all the outside affairs to Li Ma to take care of.

After Song Guang left the court, he also came to the marquis's mansion.

He first had the drunk Qu Qi tied up and thrown into the Moon Lake to sober up, then said, "If you really don't want to live anymore, then die as soon as possible."

Qu Qi cried bitterly, "My son is dead, what is the point of me living?"

Song Guang's eyes flashed with pain, "My son died a long time ago, so should I not live?"

Qu Xi stopped crying.

"Who killed your son? How did you end up like this?" Song Guang kicked him. "Your enemies are living happily, but you are hiding here and despairing."

"If the princess doesn't die, do you have the nerve to die?"

He actually didn't want to bother with this useless piece of shit.

However, the Dingxiang Marquis Mansion cannot be collapsed.

The prince's heart changed.

Thinking about what happened during the autumn hunt, Song Guang couldn't sleep all night.

This is the situation he least wants to see.
