Chapter 678 Is Lin Tingfeng really that good?
"Have you heard? That Yongchuan Marquis was struck by lightning because of his unfilial behavior, angering his parents to death!"
"What did I say? This guy is obviously not a good person. He deserves to be struck by lightning!"
"Someone said earlier that the two elders of the Yongchuan Marquis's Mansion were angered to death by their unfilial son, but no one believed it at the time."
"What? He didn't die from the blow? God is really blind."

Second floor box.
Wen Qi listened to the excitement below and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Interesting, really interesting.
My trip wasn't in vain."
Bai Qing was waiting on the side, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you may not know that this Yongchuan Marquis was a famous romantic when he was young, and he did a lot of bad things for his mistress.
Even his parents were angered to death by him."
Wen Qi asked thoughtfully, "Isn't there a saying in Da'an, 'Like father, like son'?"
Bai Qing frowned and said, "That being said, it's not entirely true."
Facing Wen Qi's puzzled gaze, he explained, "Princess Yong'an is an excellent doctor and a kind person, and is highly praised by the people.
He and his biological father are two completely different people."
He smiled and said, “Some people even claim that Princess Yong’an is a fairy who came down to earth to overcome tribulations, and that Marquis Yongchuan is her first tribulation.
Once you get over it, everything will go smoothly from now on."
Wen Qi sneered, his eyes scornful as he said, "She's just a woman, yet these fools are praising her so highly. Aren't they afraid that one day she'll fall and be smashed to pieces?"
Bai Qing was listening and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Which princess is your Highness referring to?
Wen Qi also thought of something, and said with disdain: "She is also stupid. She gave up her position above everyone else and insisted on being some crappy general's wife."
He gritted his teeth, looked at Bai Qing and asked, "Is Lin Tingfeng really that good?"
Bai Qing said without hesitation: "Compared to His Highness, there is a world of difference."
Afraid that Wen Qi would think he was flattering him, he added, "Lin Tingfeng's martial arts skills are not high, and he is narrow-minded and short-sighted. It's hard for him to achieve great things.
If it weren't for Princess Shihan's support over the past few years, it's doubtful whether he could have climbed to the third rank today."
Wen Qi gave him an appreciative look, obviously pleased by his words.
Seeing this, Bai Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to let his guard down.
He continued with what he had just said, "Princess Shihan was simply confused for a moment, which is why she fell in love with the wrong person. Your Highness, if you give her some time, she will surely figure it out."
Wen Qi smiled and shook his head, "You're wrong, she's not just confused for a moment."
Meeting Bai Qing's surprised eyes, his face suddenly darkened and he said in a cold voice, "For her, it's because she had a relationship with me that she was truly confused for a moment."
Bai Qing almost broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
He forced a smile and said stiffly, "Your Highness, please do not underestimate yourself. I have been serving the princess for some time, and she does not seem to be a heartless person."
"Heartless?" Wen Qi couldn't help but sneer, and said faintly: "You are right, she is indeed not a heartless person.
She's just a little cruel."
Bai Qing felt cold sweat running down his back and didn't know what to say for a moment.
I’m afraid that if I say something wrong, I won’t have to speak again for the rest of my life.
Seeing him sweating profusely and almost unable to stand, Wen Qi asked jokingly, "Am I so scary?"
Bai Qing hurriedly shook his head, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "It's too hot in this room. I'll go get a bowl of sugar water for Your Highness to taste."
Wen Qi smiled and said meaningfully, "You are now speaking and acting more like An Ren."
The smile on Bai Qing's face froze and his heart sank.
Your Highness, do you mean to kill me when you say this?
Just as he was about to kneel down to show his loyalty, he heard Qi say, "Very good. When this matter is over, I will reward you handsomely."
Bai Qing knelt down hurriedly and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not disrespecting me and entrusting me with such an important matter. I will not refuse even if my life is shortchanged.
As for the reward, I truly feel unworthy of it."
After he finished speaking, Wen Qi said calmly, "Get up. I have something to tell you."
Bai Qing stood up slowly, but before he could stand firmly, he wanted to kneel down again.
Because he heard Wen Qi say, "Go to the General's Mansion and let that old man from the Lin family know how much money was spent on reopening Shu Manor."

Marquis' Mansion.
Lian Niang sat beside Song Huai'en's bed, wiping her tears sadly.
The nanny beside her advised her, "Madam, please stop crying. When the Marquis wakes up and sees you, he will definitely be heartbroken."
Hearing this, Lian Niang cried even harder.
She wiped her tears with her handkerchief and complained, "We are all going to be kicked out of the mansion and live on the streets, so why should we care whether he feels sorry for us or not.
He can barely protect himself now, so even if I feel bad for him, how much is it worth?"
The nanny sighed, but could only advise: "Madam, don't worry. After all, the Marquis is the biological father of the Princess and the Crown Prince.
They are all people who value their reputation, so they would never do something like kicking their own father out of the house."
Lian Niang said angrily, “Those two wolf cubs, there’s nothing they can’t do.
If it weren't for the life-for-death penalty, they would have skinned him alive."
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she cried, "Mammy, why is my life so miserable?
Baozhu's future husband took a concubine before marrying a wife, which not only forced her to commit suicide, but also caused my son's legs to be broken by some bastards.
Tell me, how are we going to live from now on?"
The nanny wanted to persuade him, but she caught a glimpse of Song Huai'en with his hair chopped off, and she really couldn't understand.
She endured it again and again and began to speak: "My Lord, you are really something. You knew that the mother and daughter were not easy to get along with, but you had to get close to them. Why?
Now that everyone in Kyoto knows he was struck by lightning during a drought, how can he go out from now on?"
Lian Niang's eyes flickered, and she felt guilty and didn't know how to start.
She bought the nanny with her own money when she first arrived at Lianyuan, and she has been loyal to her for all these years.
As soon as she saw her expression, the nanny immediately understood what was going on and sighed, "Madam, you are confused!"
Lian Niang wiped her tears and said, "How could I have known that there was a thunderbolt during a drought today, and it just happened to strike the Marquis.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have said that.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Song Huai'en's charred face, turned her head away in disgust and said, "You'll be too embarrassed to see anyone after being chopped like this."
No one noticed that when she turned her head, the eyelids of the person lying on the bed twitched slightly.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, the nanny cleared her throat and said in a low voice, "Madam, the Marquis is in this state now. I'm afraid he will be useless even if he wakes up.
Look, why not make some plans in advance?"
"What are your plans?" Lian Niang looked confused.
She followed Song Huai'en when she was a teenager. Over the years, apart from providing him with food and clothing, she also tried various ways to win his heart.
Apart from that, she had only done that one thing that had nothing to do with him.
Just thinking about it made her heart beat faster, and she felt both shocked and scared.
Given Song Huai'en's personality, if he knew that she dared to betray him, he would definitely skin her alive.
The more Lian Niang thought about it, the uglier her face became, her heart beat faster and faster, and she couldn't help but dry heave twice.
She quickly wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and when she looked up, she met the nanny's eyes full of worry.
She was startled when she heard the nanny ask, "Madam, do you remember when your last period came?"
