Chapter 44: Slap in the face
Anger appeared on Jiang Qingning's face, and a sneer came from his chest.
She ordered someone to wake up Xun Moli, then turned around and gave orders to everyone.
"I'm not offending anyone, but this bitch is trying to offend me. Call all the servants in the house, and let's go and meet the Earl of Anping who is trying to overthrow the emperor with his achievements!"
Outside Ning Pavilion.
"Bang the door!"
Xun Chen calculated the time in his heart. As time went on, there was still no movement behind the closed door.
His face grew darker and darker, and he angrily ordered Zhuxi and the others.
Jiang Qingning and his servants stood behind the door, listening to the footsteps outside the Ning Pavilion gate.
She calculated the time, and heard a powerful voice: "Open the door!"
The doorman and others opened the door instantly.
I saw the people outside the door rushing up with all their might and pretending to bang on the door.
But when they were about to meet, the door of Ningge's mansion opened wide. In an instant, all the strength he had prepared in his body had nowhere to be used, and he rushed directly to the threshold.
In an instant, wailing sounds rose and fell everywhere, making Xun Chen's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"I didn't know the Earl of Anping was coming to visit. I'm sorry I didn't go out of my way to greet you."
Jiang Qingning walked out and stood inside the mansion gate.
Xun Chen's angry eyes froze, and he looked shocked, as if he had never seen Jiang Qingning before.
Why is there such noble aura from Jiang Qingning?
Isn’t she old and looks like a yellow-faced woman?
Why is she so young and beautiful now? The woman who I used to feel disgusted by at first sight now looks so dazzling and noble.
In comparison, he now appeared seriously injured and was carried by others. This made Xun Chen unacceptable and even felt inferior from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking of what Jiang Qingning had said about him, that he was just a poor man, Xun Chen's face gradually became ugly.
"What's wrong with Lord Anping? Could it be that he doesn't recognize me when he sees me?"
Jiang Qingning passed by the people wailing on the ground and walked out of Ningge's mansion under the protection of the servants.
"Mr. Anping has arrived just in time. I have something I would like to ask you. Why did Xun Moli appear in my residence? And why was he deliberately murdered by the coachman?"
Jiang Qingning reached the top of the stairs and managed to steady his steps.
Her eyes were full of questioning and sharpness, and she had no intention of getting closer to Xun Chen.
Xun Chen came back to his senses and looked at her questioningly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Mo Li has always been carefully taught by my mother. Yesterday, my mother took her to the Zhang Mansion and stayed there while she visited her cousin."
"Speaking of my cousin, Jiang Qingning, what crime have you committed?"
Jiang Qingning sneered from his chest, his expression extremely sarcastic.
"What crime have I committed? I'm afraid Earl Anping doesn't know. Within two consecutive days, your ex-wife nearly drowned, and your own child was nearly thrown off a cliff and killed."
"But why am I telling this to Lord Anping? I'm afraid Lord Anping still doesn't know where Mo Li is. He's truly a loving father.
If you don't know how to raise a child, you could find a good wife to teach the child carefully instead of letting any random stranger trick him out."
Xun Chen was furious and scolded, "Jiang Qingning, shut up! What nonsense are you talking about! Qiqihar is staying in the mansion peacefully..."
"Mo Li? Why are you here? Aren't you being taken care of by your grandmother?"
What else does Xun Moli not understand? His father doesn't even know he is missing.
Even his grandmother who took him out of the house didn't know, and even Aunt Qingyi didn't know.
Originally, he knew that his father had come and thought that he was here to pick him up, but every word his father said just now was blaming Jiang Qingning.
Jiang Qingning mentioned his disappearance twice, but it didn't attract his father's attention.
"Dad, don't you know that your child has been kidnapped?"
Xun Moli walked to Jiang Qingning's side and looked at Xun Chen with hurt in his eyes.
He wanted to run to his father joyfully and shout excitedly, "Daddy! You've finally come to pick up Mo Li! This wicked woman hasn't been kind to Mo Li at all!"
By the way, I could report Jiang Qingning and let my father teach him a lesson, but now the situation has been reversed.
Xun Chen stood up in astonishment. He probably had been poisoned by the political party in the past few days. He was not careful enough and was poisoned. His already serious sword wound was even more difficult to heal.
He took a difficult step and walked to Xun Moli, but there were several steps between them.
Xun Moli actually chose to hide behind Jiang Qingning and looked at him with unfamiliar and timid eyes for the first time.
Kidnapping?
How is that possible!
Xun Moli has always been taken care of by his mother...
"Son, Mo Li is the child of that vicious woman Jiang Qingning. Since she refused to leave even a penny of dowry for Mo Li, why don't you send Mo Li back to Jiang Qingning and let her raise him?"
"Do you know how much money it costs to marry and have children? In the future, your mother will have to choose a gentle and virtuous wife for you. You will also have your own legitimate sons and daughters. Xun Moli is not close to you after all."
"Even if Jiang Qingning doesn't want to raise him, you can ask her for some alimony and let Jiang Qingning pay us a fixed amount. Mother will definitely be able to raise Mo Li well and healthy."
Xun Chen was stunned, his mother's words echoing in his mind.
But he was extremely shocked. Could it be that his mother really killed Mo Li because she saw that he disagreed?
How is that possible? Mo Li is my mother's grandson.
"Mr. Anping, if you're here to pick up Xun Moli, please take him away quickly, so that someone won't wrongly accuse me of beating the child and calling me a vicious woman."
Jiang Qingning walked sideways to the side, exposing Xun Moli completely, and pushed him forward two steps.
"But if you're here to accuse me of something, I won't waste any more words talking to you. Later, I will naturally confront Bai Qingyi in court, and the magistrate will naturally make the final decision on who is right and who is wrong!"
"All the evidence is now on display at the Jingzhao government office. I went to report the case as soon as I returned to the capital. I'm sure your good cousin will ask you for help soon."
Xun Chen looked at Xun Moli in silence, and the latter also had a confused look on his face.
Even when he was brought to him by Nanny Zhang, Xun Chen clearly caught the sudden fear and resistance on Xun Moli's face.
Today, after his cousin sent his mother back home to complain, he learned that Jiang Qingning had deliberately wanted to harm his cousin when she went up the mountain to collect herbs for him. That was why he came here so excitedly to demand an explanation.
Jiang Qingning did something wrong, so he should be punished, even though they are no longer engaged and are not husband and wife.
But as the man who had disciplined Jiang Qingning for eight years, Xun Chen felt that he had the right to do so.
But when he walked in front of Jiang Qingning, before he could ask for an explanation, he was slapped hard in the face, and it was an extremely loud slap.
