Jiang Zhuo shook his head silently.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Shangqing.
Perhaps because he had something hidden in his heart, Jiang Zhuo's eyes were now bloodshot.
She rubbed her eyes and sighed softly, "From the moment You Ning entered the mansion, I felt that she was kind-hearted and was definitely the best candidate for the Crown Prince's Consort. I never thought something like this would happen now."
She grabbed Qi Shangqing with her backhand and said, "No, don't chase her. I'll wait for her to come back on her own. If she doesn't come back..."
There was a hint of sob in her voice. "If you don't come back, it doesn't matter."
Qi Shangqing sighed slowly, then sat down next to Jiang Zhuo.
He waved his hand, and the maidservants beside him retreated on their own accord.
Qi Shangqing held Jiang Zhuo in his arms and patted her shoulder gently, "Is it because of Tu Ling?"
Jiang Zhuo nodded.
After a moment of silence, she reached out and took out the paper from her bosom and stuffed it into Qi Shangqing's hand.
"Look, this is what Youning asked someone to give me before she left. She wasn't even willing to give it to me in person."
Jiang Zhuo felt a wave of discomfort in her heart. You Ning was the one she had carefully selected, and now she suddenly left. She couldn't accept it for a while.
She had been married to Qi Shangqing for many years and had only one son, Qi Ran.
She had always wanted a daughter.
But things went against my wishes. After so many years of preparation, there was still no movement in my stomach.
Now that she has finally found a woman with a similar temperament and character to hers, she must hold on to her.
Qi Shangqing lowered his eyes, took the thing, opened it and took a look.
A surge of anger rose in his heart, "I told you that something bad would happen to Tu Ling in the mansion sooner or later."
He paused, "But when did Youning get the divorce agreement from His Majesty?"
Jiang Zhuo nodded. "Yes, with this divorce agreement, no one can bring You Ning back unless she's willing to come back on her own. This is the emperor's will."
Jiang Zhuo pointed at the paper in Qi Shangqing's hand, "She also said that she and that brat Qi Ran would never let each other down in this life. Just listen to how badly that brat hurt her."
Qi Shangqing asked coldly, "Where's Qi Ran?"
Jiang Zhuo shook his head slightly. "I haven't seen him all day. Ever since I clearly told Tu Ling not to come in, didn't he take his men to find an inn outside?"
Qi Shangqing gritted his teeth, bent down slightly, and reached out to pull Jiang Zhuo's clothes inward.
He reached out again and gently tucked the hair on Jiang Zhuo's forehead behind his ear. "This brat, wait until he comes back and see how I deal with him. If I don't break his legs, I won't be called Qi Shangqing."
While the two were talking, a disdainful voice came from outside the house.
"Meng Youning, get out of here right now! You've been sneaking around the mansion all day, so it's time for you to get out. Hurry up and apologize to Sister Ling. You cut a huge gash on her wrist with that silver needle."
Qi Ran kept muttering to himself.
He didn't stop talking until he entered the inner room and saw the two people in front of him.
He stretched his neck and looked forward. "Why are you here? Where's Meng Youning? Let her come out."
Before Jiang Zhuo and Qi Shangqing could speak, they saw a woman in white clothes coming out from behind Qi Ran.
If it’s not Tu Ling, then who else could it be?
Jiang Zhuo's eyes turned cold, "How dare you come to the mansion?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Tu Ling's face.
The next moment, she slowly took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness, Princess, I know you two don't like me, but I came here because I heard that Youning is pregnant, so I wanted to come and see her. After all, I know some medical skills, so I won't harm her."
Jiang Zhuo snorted coldly, "Who knows what you are thinking?"
Qi Ran looked around but didn't find the person he was looking for.
He exclaimed, "Where is Meng Youning? Where is she hiding?"
After not seeing Meng Youning in Yunyan Pavilion, Qi Ran took Tu Ling and hurried to the front yard.
Until half a cup of tea later.
Qi Ran was immediately furious.
"What? She actually left. Who allowed her to leave?"
"She is the Crown Prince's Consort. Where else can she go except the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
During this process, Tu Ling followed Qi Ran closely and comforted him patiently.
Qi Ran waved his hand and said to Cang Hei beside him, "Hurry up and gather the people in the mansion and send someone to notify them to bring her back to me as soon as possible. I don't believe she can still escape from Shengjing."
Cang Hei raised his eyes, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qi Ran put his hands on his waist and tapped Cang Hei with his fingertips a few times. "Why don't you go quickly? Don't think I don't know what you did secretly outside yesterday. If it weren't for you, Meng Youning and that Sang Luan would not have been able to leave."
Qi Ran couldn't help but yell, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
In desperation, Cang Hei had to go down and gather all the servants in the mansion together.
In order to improve efficiency, he hired servants who were all strong enough.
Soon, Cang Hei gathered everyone together.
Everyone held a wooden stick in their hands, waiting for Qi Ran in the yard in full readiness.
Qi Ran crossed his arms and walked back and forth above.
He looked at the people below with great satisfaction and suddenly raised his voice, "Everyone of you, listen carefully to this prince. Before noon tomorrow, this prince wants to see Meng Youning return. If anyone tries to stop you from arresting her, no matter who it is, I will beat them up first. Do you understand?"
Everyone below said in unison: "I heard it clearly!"
Qi Ran waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go now."
As soon as Qi Ran finished speaking, a slightly deep voice sounded at the right time.
"Everyone, stand still. No one is allowed to move!"
When the servants heard the voice, they stood still and kept quiet.
Qi Shangqing put his hands behind his back and glanced at the people below calmly.
He was still wondering why Qi Ran suddenly became quiet. It turned out that he wanted to send someone to bring You Ning back.
Qi Shangqing looked coldly at the people below and said word by word, "If anyone dares to step out of the Prince's Mansion today, don't blame me for not recognizing them."
Everyone below looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.
Logically speaking, when the prince is not around, they should listen to the prince.
But now that the prince has spoken, no one dares to act rashly.
Qi Shangqing waved his hand in dissatisfaction, "All gone, all gone."
As soon as he spoke, everyone put the sticks in their hands back in place.
Jiang Zhuo bent down and picked up a wooden stick and held it in his hand.
She weighed the stick in her hand and even waved it in the air a few times.
He seemed to feel that the force was enough, and then he handed the stick to Qi Shangqing with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, I've tried this before and it works great."
