Chapter 6 Stabbing the Stepmother
The eldest princess flicked the cup beside her.
Broken porcelain pieces flew at Song's feet, and she couldn't help but shrink back.
Even Queen Song in the palace could not suppress the eldest princess's power, let alone her.
"You treat Aling like your own child?" The eldest princess raised her voice. "You bribed her wet nurse, gave her a drug that causes madness, and used a cruel trick to force her to leave the capital. Song Jun, you are truly shameless."
"Cousin!" Song burst into tears. "I'm your cousin. How could you assume this about me?"
The eldest princess's eyes suddenly became sharp, and her tone was full of sarcasm, "Don't the descendants of the Song family like to cannibalize the blood of their closest relatives?"
Qu Ling reached out and gently held the eldest princess's hand.
The eldest princess felt the warmth in his hand, and the coldness like a blade faded a little.
Song's face turned pale.
Qu Xi glanced at her and regretted bringing her here.
The Empress Dowager Song and Princess Hengshan, mother and daughter.
We are connected by blood, but it is a life-and-death battle.
This cannot be mentioned.
The Song family has always stood on the side of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, and the eldest princess is their political enemy.
"Your Highness, Princess, I came here today to take A Ling back." Qu Xi said with a stiff upper lip, just wanting to leave quickly.
His gaze fell on Qu Ling.
"A Ling, come home with Daddy. Daddy promises you that he will never let your mother interfere in your yard's affairs. Okay?"
Qu Ling said slowly, "She is not my mother."
"Okay," Qu Yu said without hesitation, "You don't have to call her mother."
"I want to take back the yard my mother gave me."
"Daddy has already instructed that Nuanshanju should have been yours." Qu Xin felt that her requests were not excessive at all.
Qu Ling found it funny.
In her previous life, she was scolded for being disrespectful to her elders because she did not call Song "Mother".
Because he wanted to take back Nuanshanju, he was scolded for being unfilial to his brother.
Poor thing, she was scolded all the time and got nothing in the end.
It turns out that it was because of lack of power.
The Marquis who has the final say in the Dingxiang Marquis' Mansion and is respected by everyone can even bend so low in front of the eldest princess.
Power is a really good thing.
Qu Ling unconsciously moved closer to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess thought she was afraid and said softly, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. You can live in the princess's mansion."
Qu Ling shook her head. "Thank you, auntie. I'm the eldest daughter of the Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion. I should have a place there."
There was murderous intent in her eyes.
Of course I have to go back.
Otherwise, how can we commemorate her tragic past life?
"Well," the princess said without any hesitation, "that's your home. No one can drive you away."
She looked back at Song, who was looking down.
"Six years ago, you said that A-Ling stabbed you with a knife. It was a self-torture trick you used."
The eldest princess' words made Song feel a little uneasy.
"You forced A-Ling to leave home for six years. No matter how I think about it, I feel offended."
She waved her hand and a maid handed her a dagger.
"This is a gift from me," the princess took it and placed it in Qu Ling's hand. "If anyone dares to bully you in the future, feel free to kill them with a knife."
Now even Qu Qi's expression changed slightly.
"Go and slash out again with the knife that framed you six years ago."
"She owes you this."
The eldest princess pushed Qu Ling towards the Song family.
"You dare!"
Song took two steps back in panic.
"I am your legitimate mother," she stared at Qu Ling, and the dagger in her hand that gleamed with cold light, "If you dare to hurt me, it would be unfilial."
Qu Ling was very pleased with the expression on her face.
Just know the fear.
"Madam, you may have forgotten that father just said that I don't have to treat you as my mother." Qu Ling took a few steps closer, his tone excited.
Song was as if she had seen a ghost. She hid behind Qu Xin and tugged at his sleeves with both hands. "My Lord, are you just going to watch her act so recklessly?"
"If she hurts me and word gets out, it will damage the reputation of the Marquisate."
Qu Xi frowned and spoke slowly, "A Ling, don't be so presumptuous."
As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword was placed on his neck.
"How dare you disobey my words?"
The bright yellow sword tassel made Qu Xi's hair stand on end.
His knees weakened and he fell to the ground. "I dare not."
That was the imperial sword bestowed by the late emperor.
Execute first and report later.
A few days ago, a fourth-rank official of the current dynasty died under this sword.
Song was filled with despair.
She watched helplessly as Qu Ling slashed towards her with a dagger in his hand.
There was a wicked smile in Qu Ling's eyes, and the tip of the knife was heading towards his cheek.
"ah-"
Song backed away, blocking with her hands.
The sharp dagger cut through her clothes and left a bloody wound on her arm.
"My Lord, save me!"
Song screamed in excruciating pain.
He knelt on the ground, not daring to move, with his head down, not looking at her.
But he was shocked to find that his daughter was so cruel and ruthless.
"Shut your mouth," the princess pointed her sword at Song, "you're being too noisy."
Song's lips were trembling, and she covered her arm with one hand. Bright red blood dripped through her fingers, which was shocking to see.
The hatred in her eyes almost made her want to cut Qu Ling into pieces.
"Take Song back," the princess put away her sword, "so as not to dirty this palace."
Qu Xi's back was wet, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
He went to see Qu Ling, and the original three points of guilt were replaced by blame.
It also added to my unhappiness.
Song didn't miss his gaze and felt better.
You little bastard, when I get back home, I will make you live a life worse than death.
There would never be another chance for her to meet the eldest princess.
"A Ling..." Song was so pale from the pain, but she forced a smile and said to Qu Ling, "It doesn't matter if you hate me, but your father really cares about you."
"Please call me Miss, Madam." Qu Ling put away the knife silently with a cold tone.
Song's forced smile froze on her face.
The eldest princess was very pleased.
She was not worried about Qu Ling being arrogant, she was only worried that Qu Ling would be easily fooled.
"It's getting late, Aling, let's go home." Qu Xin was extremely disappointed with his daughter who was almost the same as his deceased wife.
But because he was in the princess's mansion, he didn't dare to reveal it.
I had no choice but to take her back first and teach her well in the future.
Qu Ling wants to go back.
But we can't just go back like this.
Before Qu Xin and Song came, she asked the eldest princess for help.
"Aunt, my wet nurse is dead and there's no one to take care of me. Can you give me someone to take care of me?"
Of course the princess would not refuse.
When Qu Ling came out of the princess's mansion, someone followed him.
She was the wet nurse of Princess Jiaping Zhao Yuanrong.
In addition, there were dozens of maids and old women.
The princess warned Qu Xin, "Marquis Dingxiang, Azhao died for my daughter. I will not allow anyone to bully her daughter. If your mansion cannot take care of your daughter, I will take care of her."
Qu Ling looked at the respectful Qu Xi and the embarrassed Song Shi, and felt happy.
The princess's mansion even prepared a carriage.
Just as she was about to get on, she heard Qu Xi say, "A Ling, you and I haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't we ride together so we can talk."
