Chapter 87: Death is coming
When Pei Jingming stepped into the yard, Aunt Miao's body had not yet been carried away.
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the pool of blood on the ground, his expression gloomy. "Should I announce the decree first, or report to the authorities first?"
His voice was particularly clear in the yard.
Old Madam Song was already upset. After hearing Pei Jingming's words, she said coldly, "The Duke of the County doesn't need to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
Pei Jingming seemed to have just seen her and said slowly, "Old Madam is here too? After all these years, I didn't expect you to still be so nosy about other people's affairs."
It turned out that there was also an old lady in the Pei family mansion.
In his early years, he had a close relationship with Old Madam Song, and the two of them often got together to discuss how to make things difficult for the eldest princess.
Although the Pei family has declined, their pride remains.
Marrying a princess with a child almost made Mrs. Pei go to heaven in anger.
How could she bear it.
When he learned that the princess would not let Pei Qi get close to her at all, he considered it a great humiliation.
At this time, Old Madam Song gave her some advice.
"So what if she's a princess? She's still your wife. Now that we're married, we should have children soon. Your Pei family has been noble for centuries, and everyone is polite to you. Besides, this marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother, so what are you afraid of?"
She gave the aphrodisiac to Old Lady Pei.
When Mrs. Pei heard her words, she felt that she had the Queen Mother's support and began to tremble.
She planned to let her son and the eldest princess consummate their marriage first to solidify their status, and then she would properly act like a mother-in-law and train the eldest princess.
She is the old noblewoman of the Pei family. Since the Queen Mother cannot teach her daughter, she will do it.
When the drugged wine was delivered to the eldest princess's room, she immediately sent someone to tie up Old Madam Pei.
"The Queen Mother used this kind of thing to plot against me back then, because she was my mother, and I never guarded against her."
"But who are you?"
The Queen Mother Song's calculation made the eldest princess grow up completely and become more cautious in everything.
She poured a full pot of wine into the old lady's mouth, and then threw her into the Pei family's yard. She called all the servants to watch the old lady in heat, but did not let anyone get close.
The stern old Lord of the Pei family was tortured by the aphrodisiac and lost all his face.
If something like this happened, there would be no need for the eldest princess to take action. The elders of the Pei family would come forward to put an end to the old lady.
But how many people know that it was actually Madam Song who orchestrated this?
"Prince, please be careful with your words!" Old Lady Song felt a pang of pain in her heart and was so angry that she almost fainted.
Pei Jingming said calmly, "You still owe my Pei family a life."
When Old Madam Song heard this, she was furious. "You are totally incomprehensible. If the prince doesn't want to announce the imperial edict, then take it back."
She wanted to see what was written in the imperial edict.
Song Guang never told her about the affairs of the court, and never allowed her to ask about them.
Pei Jingming fulfilled her wish.
Qu Qin took the lead and knelt down. Even Qu Lianzhi endured the pain in his body and was helped to kneel down.
There were two imperial decrees, one to confer the title of princess on Qu Ling, and the other to grant Xu Zhaoyue and Qu Xin a divorce.
Qu Lianzhi's teeth were broken.
Everyone in Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion has a hard time, except Qu Ling, who is thriving.
God is so blind.
Old Madam Song even wanted to snatch the imperial edict and read it again.
No wonder this bitch is so arrogant.
Then he was shocked again. Could it be that the eldest princess knew something?
As for the divorce, except for Qu Xi who looked dazed, no one else took it to heart.
Anyway, Xu Zhaoyue’s dowry has been taken away, and it will come to this sooner or later.
Qu Xi looked at his daughter with a complicated look in his eyes.
The little girl who had been struggling in the Marquis' Mansion seemed to no longer need the support of her father. She climbed up to the eldest princess and gradually grew into a towering tree.
The imperial edict was put away, but Qu Ling still hadn't forgotten his business.
"Your Highness has arrived just in time. I was just having trouble finding a way to take my tragically deceased aunt to the police."
Old Madam Song didn't expect her to be so persistent. "Ling girl, no matter how much the eldest princess loves you, you are still a girl from the Marquis' Mansion. You must cherish your reputation."
She seemed to be thinking about Qu Ling.
"You have been conferred the title of Princess, which is a great joy. According to etiquette, it is only natural for you to call me Grandmother. When I return home, I will prepare a congratulatory gift for you."
She hoped Qu Ling would quit while he was ahead.
Old Madam Song was not afraid of a young girl, she just thought it was troublesome.
Qu Ling ignored her completely, not even giving her a glance, and said to Pei Jingming, "Your Highness, thank you for your help."
Pei Jingming was calm and composed. "It's just a small favor. You are my sister."
"No, this is the Marquis's business, and besides, my aunt's death is not..."
Just as Qu Yi jumped out to speak, he saw a cold light flash in Pei Jingming's eyes.
By the time everyone reacted, Qu Yi had already flown several feet away.
"This king cannot bear to hear dogs barking."
Pei Jingming stared at the frightened Qu Xin with an indifferent tone, "Does your Lordship have anything to say?"
He still looked nonchalant, but Qu Xi suspected that he would suddenly kick himself away.
As expected, he is someone close to the eldest princess.
Qu Xin shut up completely under Pei Jingming's sharp gaze.
"How dare you be so presumptuous in the Marquis' Mansion." Old Madam Song was shocked and angry.
She felt heartbroken when she saw Qu Yi lying on the ground with his teeth grimacing and unable to get up.
"I'd like to ask the eldest princess how she taught you."
"Shut up." Pei Jingming suddenly attacked, and a pearl flew out, hitting Old Lady Song's mouth.
Old Madam Song was hit unexpectedly. She screamed in pain and covered her mouth with her hands. Tears came out of the pain.
The pearl hit her tooth right on target, and she felt like her tooth was about to fall out.
When I took my hands off, I found they were covered in blood.
When Pei Jingming was very young, the eldest princess hired two masters, one civil and one martial, for him, and his kung fu was quite good.
"Asking my mother is not enough," Pei Jingming said calmly, but those who knew him well could sense that he was already angry. "Why don't I take you to ask His Majesty directly?"
Old Madam Song began to get scared.
Pei Jingming is a madman.
Few people know about it.
But she knew.
The son-in-law Pei Qi had not been close to his concubines for many years, not because he was chaste, but because Pei Jingming had castrated his adoptive father.
This is the secret of the Pei family.
Pei Jingming, who seems steady and talented, is actually gloomy and crazy.
Only his adoptive mother, the princess, can control him.
She shouldn't have appeared in the Marquis' Mansion, and Old Lady Song felt a little regretful.
But she didn't know that all the coincidences and logical things were deliberately calculated by Qu Ling.
Pei Jingming was not joking when he said he would take Old Madam Song to see His Majesty.
"Tie her up and send her to the palace. As for the concubine, send her to the Song family."
The servants of the Song family were pinned down and unable to move by the personal soldiers he brought with him.
Old Madam Song cursed angrily, panicked, and terrified, "Pei Jingming, you are so bold!"
Qu Lianzhi forgot the pain in his body and his eyes were empty.
She looked at Qu Ling dully, but saw Qu Ling calmly looking at Old Madam Song who was dragged out, with pity and disgust in his eyes.
She saw Qu Ling seemed to say something to Old Madam Song, but she didn't understand until she was helped up.
What Qu Ling said is that your death is coming.
