Chapter 91: Bird in a Cage

Ministry of Justice.

After receiving the news, Pei Zhi immediately ordered someone to deliver the painting that Xiao Yan wanted to his house.

Xing Yu looked puzzled. How could he not know when the Lord owed Marquis Jingling a favor?

He only knew that the adults’ favorite thing was this picture of a horse!

Moreover, this painting is very expensive...

On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Changning received a message.

Ever since Shen Lanyue left the Marquis' Mansion, she moved into the inn. In the past few days, she has been sending people to secretly keep an eye on Shen Lanyue.

She originally thought that Shen Lanyue would not be able to cause any trouble.

Who would have thought that today, Marquis Xuanwu suddenly announced to the public that not only would he bring Shen Lanyue and her son back to the Marquis' Mansion, but he would also let Jiang Hongsheng return to his ancestral home, and he even chose an auspicious day, which is seven days later!

Mother Du was shocked when she heard this. "Madam, Shen Lanyue's face is ruined. She is now an ugly thing. Besides, Marquis Xuanwu is henpecked. Why did he suddenly change his mind and want to recognize Shen Lanyue and her son and bring them back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

She paused, "If Marquis Xuanwu really does this, we'll just have to wait and see! With Chen Lanyue's temperament, I'm afraid she'll get terrified right away, and she'll definitely come looking for trouble with Madam!"

Xie Changning narrowed his eyes slightly, "This can only mean one thing!"

Shen Lanyue has the leverage over Qi Zhengye in her hand.

If Qi Zhengye really wanted to recognize them as mother and son, why would he wait until today?

Qi Zhengye is Concubine Yun's biological brother. His leverage is equivalent to Concubine Yun's leverage. As long as he can bring Concubine Yun down.

Naturally, the Fourth Prince will never amount to anything!

There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone in the carriage. Xie Changning immediately wrote a letter and asked the secret guard to deliver it.

As for who to give it to?

She didn't say.

Mother Du didn't ask either.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lanyue did not come to cause trouble for Xie Changning today.

This is totally out of character for her.

"Mother, I have thought it through. It was all my fault before. I am willing to marry Lian Yu. I only ask you to let me go out for a while to say goodbye to my former classmates. I promise to listen to you in everything from now on." As Xie Changning stepped into the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Zhiyan knelt down in front of her.

He looked sincere.

There is no longer any resentment on his face.

It was as if he really realized his mistake.

With just one glance, Xie Changning saw through him. He just wanted to get out, so he acted so hypocritically in front of her.

She sighed softly, her tone becoming a little softer. "It's not that Mother doesn't want you to go out, but you're injured now. Once you've recovered, you can go wherever you want. Mother will never stop you."

Shen Zhiyan's eyes gradually became cold. He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, silently venting the anger in his heart.

In order to completely control him.

His mother ordered people to guard the place strictly, so not only could he not get close to Qiao Lianyu, he couldn't even step out of the Marquis' Mansion.

He doesn't want to marry Qiao Lianyu.

He wants to go find his eldest brother and ask him to make the decision for him.

If all else fails, there is still grandma.

He just didn't believe that no one could cure Xie Changning.

Xie Changning saw it clearly. Look, his fox tail is exposed.

"How about this! Write down the names of the classmates you want to meet, and your mother can invite them to your wedding banquet, and you can say goodbye to them at that time. It will be the same." Xie Changning said very considerately.

Shen Zhiyan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "No need. Mother is right. It won't be too late to say goodbye to them after I recover."

Now, how is he any different from a bird in a cage?

Return to Qingsongyuan.

He swept everything on the table to the floor like a madman.

"Ah..." He couldn't help but roar loudly.

He couldn't kill Qiao Lianyu, nor could he get out. Could he only let his mother manipulate him and marry that brothel girl obediently?

No, he was unwilling.

"Bring me some wine!" He was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he could only drink to drown his sorrows.

If there is wine, there must be food.

When the dish was being served, the cook accidentally spilled soup on him. He was about to explode when the cook looked at him intently and inconspicuously slipped something into his hand. He could sense it was a letter.
