"Madam, the prince has taken his men out..."
The maid next to Qin came in and reported, "We specially hired the newest and largest carriage in the mansion and are going to... the Ling family's villa."
Qin's hands, which were on the armrests, suddenly clenched into fists, and then suddenly loosened them. Her straight back relaxed, and her back leaned against the chair, as if she had completely let go of all her strength.
"Well, let him go."
"He has no choice but to bang his head against this south wall."
After muttering a few words, Qin ordered, "Go and call the Marquis and tell him that the prince went to the Ling family's villa. I can't stop him, so please ask the Marquis to help. Otherwise, it will cause trouble and really anger the Second Prince and the Ling family."
Qin said this, but she sneered in her heart.
Chen Feng is not her son alone, so why should she work so hard while the unfaithful Chen Yu leaves her alone and indulges himself in pleasure all day long?
There is no such good thing in the world.
Since no one wants to live a good life, then just don't live at all.
No one can have an easy time!
…
"Your Highness the Second Prince will be able to reach the villa in just a moment."
The housekeeper of the other courtyard came to Xue Linglong's courtyard and reminded her, "Miss Xue, please hurry up and prepare the things you need to prepare. Don't delay His Highness."
These are referring to the "firearms" that will be presented to the second prince.
Xue Linglong nodded pretentiously, turned back to the house, and ordered the two maids beside her, "Cui Tao, when we light the firearms to test them, you light the incense in the house and stand guard outside. No one except you can enter that room."
"Xiu Tao, go check on the little girl and ask the nanny to take good care of her. Don't let her cry at this time. I can't take care of her today. After you check on her, stay outside. If anyone approaches the yard, come back and report immediately."
"Yes, miss." Cuitao and Xiutao responded reluctantly.
The master and his two servants confirmed the details again.
Afterwards, the servants of the villa came to inform them that the second prince had arrived at the gate of the villa.
Xue Linglong tightened her brocade jacket and went out to greet them in person.
After not seeing each other for several months, perhaps because of his wedding, the Second Prince seemed to have become much calmer.
When he frowned and didn't smile, he looked quite dignified, as if he really had some royal aura.
Xue Linglong couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is the future true dragon emperor, his temperament is much stronger than Chen Feng, and only a man like this can be worthy of herself who has the vision and knowledge of a thousand years later.
"Linglong greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Xue Linglong knelt down and saluted.
Her demeanor was obedient and gentle, just like the ancient women she had looked down upon in the past. There was no trace of her appearance when she first traveled here and attracted Chen Feng.
The second prince was "well-informed" and had seen all kinds of beauties. Especially a woman like this who was full of admiration, thoughtful and gentle, there was nothing special about her.
His eyes paused for a moment on Xue Linglong's exposed neck, which was slightly whiter than that of an ordinary person. Then he strode forward without looking away, saying as he walked, "No need to be polite. Where is the thing you figured out today? Take this prince over to see it."
"Yes." Xue Linglong clenched her palms, reminding herself to stay calm and not be impatient.
"Your Highness, please follow me."
She brought the second prince to the courtyard where they usually tested firearms.
This is the entire villa. The courtyard in the far corner was formed by demolishing part of the walls and buildings of three small courtyards. It was extremely spacious, with only one main room and two secondary rooms left in the entire courtyard to store the things needed to make "firearms".
The rest of the place is open space, with a U-shaped wall built with stone bricks in the center.
Leading the Second Prince to the door, Xue Linglong looked at the group of people following him with some embarrassment, "Second Prince, they..."
The second prince understood.
Firearms are of great importance and should not be exposed easily.
Although the people around me are all my own people, there are differences in closeness and distance between them.
After sending away the servants from the other courtyard, the second prince ordered the guards to guard the gate of the courtyard and he only brought one attendant in.
"Okay, where are the things you prepared? You can start the demonstration."
The Second Prince looked at Xue Linglong expectantly. Originally, Xue Linglong had not yet developed the firearm until she was about to give birth, and he had given up hope on this matter. But just when he was about to give up on this matter, things took a turn for the better and good news came from the villa.
The fact that he gave Xue Linglong such a long time and opportunity was not because he was easily fooled by others.
The war scenes with firearms that Xue Linglong had described were really too shocking.
It didn't seem like something that was drawn out of thin air. Although Xue Linglong explained that it was a scene she saw in a dream, the Second Prince did not believe it. He vaguely felt that there was something special about Xue Linglong.
It was precisely because of this "intention" that he was willing to take the risk of creating a rift with the prince's wife and give Xue Linglong shelter.
"Right here. Yesterday's test was able to blow up two low walls. If the dosage is increased, I think the blasting range can be expanded several times."
Xue Linglong led the Second Prince and his attendants around to the middle of the U-shaped wall made of stone bricks, where a pile of firewood, straw ropes, and many cylindrical objects tied together with straw ropes had been set up.
The second prince couldn't understand what these were.
Xue Linglong said, "This is the firearm I mentioned. Your Highness, please move out first. I will demonstrate the power of this thing to you."
According to Xue Linglong, this thing seemed to be extremely powerful. The attendants beside the Second Prince looked tense and stood firmly in front of him to protect him.
After a moment, there was a loud "bang".
The brick and stone wall in front of them did not move at all, but a lot of dust and dirt flew over the wall and splashed out, covering the Second Prince and his attendants with dirt.
Xue Linglong also ran out in a hurry. No one knew where she had been hiding just now, but she managed to escape the disaster. Except for a little dust on her coat, her face was not stained with any dust.
"Your Highness, everything went smoothly yesterday. I don't know what went wrong just now..."
"The next room has the toiletries I prepare for my experiments. Why don't you go in and get ready? I'll prepare them again. There will be no mistakes this time!"
The second prince nodded with a dark face.
After entering the room, he ordered Xue Linglong's maid to go out and fetch some water. Then he took off his outer robe and wiped his face vigorously.
Just then, the man who went to fetch water came back.
The person who came in was not the maid who had just left, but Xue Linglong.
At some point, she had taken off her gray-dyed jacket, revealing the thin gauze sleeves and the bright red chest-length skirt underneath.
The snow-white skin is particularly attractive against the bright red background.
The second prince couldn't help but stare in amazement.
