Chapter 117 I Don’t Want to Be This Concubine Anymore
"This is absolutely impossible. How could Hongsheng suddenly disappear?" Chen Lanyue stood up suddenly. She was afraid that Hongsheng would not come today, so she pawned a fine jade bracelet in advance and invited many people to secretly guard Hongsheng last night, waiting to tie him up and bring him to Xuanwu Hou Mansion today.
If something really happened to Hongsheng, she would definitely receive the news in advance.
"My Lord, could it be you?" She cast a suspicious look at Qi Zhengye. Could it be that Qi Zhengye didn't want Hongsheng to return to his roots at all, but was just deceiving her.
Qi Zhengye's face darkened. "No matter what, Hongsheng is still my son. If I didn't want him to recognize his ancestral roots, why would I make such a fuss? Or do you think I'm such a person that I can't even tolerate my own son?"
Chen Lanyue's eyes flashed slightly. Regardless of whether Qi Zhengye's words were true or false, she still had the evidence against him in her hands!
I don't think he would dare to play any tricks.
If it’s not him, it must be that bitch Fang!
She looked at Fang with a sharp gaze, "Could it be that Madam is pretending to be magnanimous, but in reality cannot tolerate us mother and son, so she is using underhanded tactics behind our backs? Madam..."
"Pa pa pa..." Before she could finish her words, Mother Chen beside Fang rushed to her and slapped her face left and right with her hands.
"How dare you, a lowly concubine! Who gave you the courage to speak to the mistress like that? Today, I, your old servant, will teach you a lesson on etiquette!"
Shen Lanyue was used to being the wife of the Earl of Yongning. Although the Earl of Yongning was not as powerful as the Marquis of Xuanwu, in the Earl of Yongning's mansion, no one dared to mess with her, and she was the only one who could bully others.
Now, a lowly maid dares to bully her.
"You are the one who is so presumptuous. How dare you, a dog like you, hit me?" She subconsciously wanted to fight back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, she was pinned to the ground by two old women and could not move in an instant.
Mother Fan watched from the side, she didn't dare to say a word, let alone go forward to help Shen Lanyue.
Madam, why don’t you understand that being a concubine is different from being a wife?
To put it bluntly, I am just a toy!
A single word from the mistress could determine her life or death...
"You dare to fight back, your crime is even more serious." Mother Chen sneered, and she increased her strength, even using all her strength.
Shen Lanyue didn't know whether her face hurt or not.
But her hands were numb from the shock.
It turns out that slapping is a really strenuous job.
"Qi Zhengye, are you just going to watch them do this to me?" After a few slaps, Shen Lanyue's face swelled up. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and she yelled at Qi Zhengye in frustration.
"It's already this time, and your aunt still dares to yell at the Marquis. She has no manners at all." Mother Chen immediately switched to her left hand and hit Shen Lanyue until she saw stars.
Qi Zhengye glanced at Fang and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her expression was indifferent. "From the moment you stepped into the Marquis' Mansion, you must respect Madam. Your son is missing, what does it have to do with Madam? He's just a bastard. Even if he recognizes his ancestral roots, what's the big deal? It'll just be an extra bowl of rice."
"Qi Zhengye, how dare you do this to me? All of you get out of here. I don't want to be your concubine anymore. Is that not okay?" Shen Lanyue struggled desperately. She wanted to find Hongsheng.
Fang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She raised her eyes to look at Shen Lanyue, with a calm expression, and sneered, "What do you think this place is, Aunt Shen? You can come and go as you please? Now that you have stepped through this door, it will be difficult to leave."
She paused, "Someone, come here! Aunt Chen has no respect for her superiors and is committing treason. Lock her up in the small Buddhist temple immediately and let her reflect on her mistakes. When she realizes her mistakes, we will release her."
"Does the Marquis have any objection to this? If I have done anything inappropriate, you are welcome to point it out." At the end, she did not forget to ask Qi Zhengye for his opinion.
"Madam, you handled it very appropriately. Let's do it this way! Since we can't find anyone from Hongsheng, we can talk about tracing our ancestral roots another day." Qi Zhengye said expressionlessly.
Shen Lanyue thought that she could threaten him by holding something against him?
The imperial concubine was right. Once she entered the Marquis's Mansion, her life or death would be decided by just one word from him.
"What? No, I don't agree. Hongsheng must return to his roots today. Qi Zhengye, go find Hongsheng." Shen Lanyue's eyes were red with anger. Bullshit about doing it another day. If she missed this opportunity today, she would probably have to wait until the end of time to do it again.
If it wasn't for Hongsheng to be able to recognize his ancestors, why would she enter the Xuanwu Marquis's mansion as a concubine?
She has been the wife of the Earl of Yongning for so many years. Doesn't she know how difficult it is to be a concubine?
Qi Zhengye glanced at her coldly, raised his right hand slightly, and then Shen Lanyue was dragged away by two old women.
Mother Chen didn't forget to cover her mouth.
Shen Lanyue was almost furious. She jumped up and down and wanted to kick the two old women who were holding her.
It just didn't succeed.
After returning to the room, Fang immediately wrote a letter.
Half an hour later.
Xie Changning had a letter in her hand, and after reading it, the corners of her mouth curled up.
This time, Shen Lanyue really lost both the wife and the army!
Even without her instructions, Rulu would have treated Chen Lanyue well.
I have to say that Jiang Hongsheng is a smart guy.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought about returning to his roots.
Unfortunately, Shen Lanyue had offended Concubine Yun and the Fourth Prince...
Even if she didn't have to take action, Concubine Yun and the Fourth Prince would never let Jiang Hongsheng go.
After Qi Zhengye did such a thing, don't they need to give an explanation to Rulu's brother, General Zhenbei?
What are those people arranged by Shen Lanyue?
As early as last night, Jiang Hongsheng was pushed off the cliff. I'm afraid there won't even be any bones left.
In his previous life, Jiang Hongsheng was a capable general beside the Fourth Prince.
In this life, he died at the hands of the Fourth Prince, which was a worthy death.
The Fourth Prince would never have imagined in his dreams that he would actually break his own wings.
What she wanted to know now was what leverage Shen Lanyue had over Qi Zhengye, which might be something she could use to deal with the Fourth Prince!
There was another thing that made her feel particularly happy.
"Chen Zhixu, get out here." On the other side, Qin Kaiji ignored the servants' obstruction and kicked open the door of Shen Zhixu's study with a fierce momentum.
