Ling Qingxue felt as if she had been hit hard in the face with a heavy punch, and she staggered.
Xiao Yuan frowned: "Ling Qingxue, out of consideration for your past relationship with A Rong, I will temporarily overlook your rudeness today."
"Ming Shu, see him out!"
Ming Shu stepped forward and led the distraught Ling Qingxue away.
"Mr. Ling, what can I say to you?" Ming Shu couldn't help but say as he led him toward the front gate of the villa, "The master's feelings for Madam Su are far more than you think. From now on, you should be a good son-in-law of Shu and forget about Madam Su!"
Ling Qingxue snapped out of her daze, grabbed Ming Shu by the collar, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Tell me, when did he start targeting A Rong?"
Ming Shu brushed his hand away impatiently and sneered, "Back when Master and Lady Su first met, you were still nowhere to be found."
"Besides, Madam Su saved my master's life. If it weren't for Madam Su, my master would have died long ago..." Ming Shu looked at Ling Qingxue's shocked and saddened expression. "Also, back in Zhenjiang, if it weren't for Madam Su, do you think the Prince would have entrusted you with the task of saving lives?"
Ling Qingxue felt extremely bitter.
So he wasn't the only one Ah Rong had saved...
Ming Shu stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder: "Everything you have achieved today is all thanks to Madam Su."
"But what did you do to her? Your mother knew that Madam Su had saved you and helped you financially, yet she still spoke so harshly to her. Do you think that Madam Su, with her temperament, would continue to associate with you?"
That day, after learning that the Xiang family had led a group to the Su family to humiliate Su Xuerong, even Cui Yun'er couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, wanting to rush over and beat them up.
Ling Qingxue looked ashamed and pained.
If he had stuck to his original intention and insisted on marrying Arong despite his mother's objections, would Xiao Yuan's interference in the marriage have happened later?
"The prince never intended to marry Lady Su. In order for her to marry you as your principal wife with dignity, he did not hesitate to injure himself and use a self-inflicted injury to persuade the old lady to adopt her as her goddaughter. It is your own fault for not cherishing all these opportunities, so you can't blame others."
Ming Shu's words left Ling Qingxue speechless, feeling as if a thousand needles were piercing her heart.
“If the Prince weren’t a magnanimous man, he could have made you disappear in a hundred ways based on your past with Lady Su. Why would he have given you such a good opportunity to rise to prominence in the future?” Ming Shu said again when he saw his expression gradually become dejected.
Ling Qingxue: "..."
Ming Shu saw him to the door and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Ling, your relationship with Madam Su is over. Please cherish the present and don't let matters of the heart ruin your future."
Ling Qingxue was silent for a moment, then closed her eyes tightly before letting out a long sigh: "You're right. Since Arong is unwilling to marry me, I should look forward."
Ming Shu nodded in satisfaction and watched him get into the carriage.
After Ling Qingxue's carriage disappeared ahead, a horse hurriedly came over.
Ge Huai'an jumped off his horse with a look of anxiety on his face and threw the reins to Ming Shu: "Is the prince here?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Ming Shu rolled her eyes at him.
Ge Huai'an hurriedly walked towards the backyard. When he arrived at Xiao Yuan's bedroom, he was about to send someone in to report when he saw Xiao Yuan come out.
When he saw the dark circles under his eyes, Ge Huai'an's face twitched: "Have you not slept for several nights?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Did you get anything out of them?"
On the day Zeng Ling stabbed Su Xue Rong with a poisoned hairpin, Xiao Yuan handed her over to Ge Huai'an, asking him to torture her to find out where the poison was.
"She confessed, saying that someone secretly gave her the poison. That person was hiding in the mansion and used notes to communicate with her, instructing her on how to deal with Madam Su. But to this day, she still doesn't know who that person is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yuan grabbed his neck tightly.
Xiao Yuan roared fiercely, "It's someone from your household!"
Ge Huai'an's face turned a deep liver color from being pinched, and he was completely unable to speak.
Akira, who was standing nearby, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Master, let him finish speaking..."
Xiao Yuan then withdrew his hand. Ge Huai'an coughed loudly and gasped for breath. After a long while, he recovered and said, "Your Highness, my mother and I have thoroughly investigated everyone in the manor and will definitely give Your Highness an explanation!"
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "I don't trust the people in your household!"
Ge Huai'an's cheek twitched violently.
"Mingshu, later you go back and send two hundred elite soldiers into the Ge residence so our men can interrogate them one by one!"
Ge Huai'an hesitated, but when he thought of what his mother had done, he immediately said dejectedly, "It is up to Your Highness to decide everything."
If he had known Zeng Ling had such ulterior motives, he shouldn't have married her in the first place.
If he couldn't save Su Xuerong this time, he suspected that Xiao Yuan would make the entire Ge family pay for her death.
“Ayin has already written a letter and sent it to Yaowangzhuang with great speed, asking her senior brother to intervene. He should be able to cure the poison that Su Niangzi has been poisoned,” Ge Huai’an added at the end.
Xiao Yuan looked at him coldly and sneered, "Oh, is that so?"
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house.
Ge Huai'an looked at Ming Shu with a puzzled expression: "W-Where did I say something wrong?"
Ming Shu said irritably, "Our master has already sent people to Medicine King Manor to ask the old manor lord to intervene. Your sister only asked her senior brother, which is clearly just a perfunctory gesture!"
“But Ah Yin said that the old master of the manor has gone on a journey recently and is not at the manor!”
“Your sister has been back in Hangzhou for two months. How did she know the old master wasn’t at the manor?” Ming Shu asked rhetorically.
Ge Huai'an was taken aback.
Yes, how could the old master of Medicine King Manor be someone who could exchange letters with his disciples who returned home at any time?
