Chapter 260: It’s Better to Pray to the Princess than to God
"Who is the second prince's wife now?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye said, "It's the eldest daughter of the Feng family."
Xie Yingmian had never heard of the eldest daughter of the Feng family.
I remembered Miss Feng that Dijia had mentioned before.
"Is it Feng or Feng?"
Yu Lingye: "Two water horses, Feng."
"Among the eight great families in Shangjing, the Feng family is one of them."
"Has the Feng family ever had a conflict with the Wang family?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Yu Lingye pondered for a moment and said, "The man Princess Deyang married is from the Feng family. She is the aunt of the Second Prince's wife."
"Legend has it that Princess Deyang's favorite was Wang Huanran, the newly crowned number one scholar. Wang Huanran was also Madam Wang's husband. Wang Huanran fell in love with the second daughter of the Lin family at first sight, rejected Princess Deyang, and married the second daughter of the Lin family."
Xie Yingmian suddenly understood.
Princess Deyang's lover was Wang Huanran, who married Lady Wang. Princess Deyang became jealous and mad, so she asked someone to kidnap Lady Wang's daughter.
Princess Deyang destroyed Linglong's life and made her niece marry the second prince instead of Linglong in order to take revenge on Lady Wang.
As for why Linglong appeared in the Second Prince's Cangying Villa, there are two possibilities.
One possibility is that Princess Deyang did not know at first that Linglong was hooking up with the leader of the Goshawk Gang. When Princess Deyang found out about this, Linglong had already joined the Goshawk Gang. Because Linglong was just a concubine and plaything of the Goshawk Gang leader and had a low status, Princess Deyang did not care and just ordered the Goshawk Gang leader not to take Linglong out during the Lantern Festival.
Another possibility is that Princess Deyang knew that the Goshawk Gang belonged to the Second Prince. Princess Deyang was mentally twisted and deliberately sent Linglong to the Goshawk Gang to make Linglong a lowly concubine of the Gang leader in order to humiliate Linglong.
Xie Yingmian told Yu Lingye two guesses.
"Which possibility do you prefer?" she asked.
Yu Lingye said: "The first one."
"oh?"
"If Linglong was abducted by Princess Deyang, Princess Deyang's goal was to let Linglong rot in the mud." Yu Lingye said.
Xie Yingmian thought it made sense.
Linglong once said that she was raised as a child bride by that family, that is, the child bride of Zhang Laowu, who was short, ugly and had a strange personality.
If Linglong married Zhang Laowu, she would be stuck in a quagmire.
Linglong was favored by the leader of the Goshawk Gang and got rid of the bad man Zhang Laowu. Although she was just a lowly concubine, she could have food and clothing without worries.
Xie Yingmian recalled how Linglong had been mean and vicious in her quest for favor when she first met her, and she felt more and more that the first possibility was more likely.
"Tell me, should I remind Madam Xing?"
Yu Lingye said in a gloomy tone: "The problems we can think of, Mrs. Xing can naturally think of them too."
"She figured it all out pretty quickly."
"With the abilities of the Xing and Wang families, it won't take long to uncover the truth."
Xie Yingmian sighed.
That's true. They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Why are they playing "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"?
At this time, the Lantern Festival is gradually coming to an end.
The highly anticipated “Searching for It Among the Crowd” will soon reveal the answer.
All the participants in the event returned.
Each of them held five lanterns in their hands, and they surrounded the venue completely.
The fourth floor of the teahouse is high enough to take in the entire venue.
Xie Yingmian spotted Fu Mo in the crowd at a glance.
Fu Mo was holding five lanterns by himself, full of confidence.
Others looked nervously at the center field, waiting for the time to come.
Boom!
With a drumbeat, time is up.
The organizer took out a huge lantern, symbolizing the correct answer.
There are five correct lantern styles.
As long as you get one of the five correct, it will be considered correct.
Each person can take five lanterns, and if one of the five lanterns is correct, it is considered a correct answer.
With the joint operation of more than a dozen people.
Five giant lanterns were launched into the air and hung high in the sky, ensuring everyone could see them.
After the correct answer is announced.
In the crowd, some people were so happy that they jumped up, some were dejected, some had an epiphany, and some regretted deeply.
All kinds of people were showing their different behaviors, but no one dared to cause trouble or snatch the correct lantern from others.
After the answer is announced, the organizer invites the person who answered correctly to come on stage.
There were eleven people who answered correctly.
Fu Mo is the redundant one.
Fu Mo held his head high and followed everyone up to the stage to receive the award.
The prize pool is a total of 10,000 taels.
Eleven people had to share 10,000 taels of silver, but there was no way to make the total.
The organizer was very generous and raised the prize pool to 11,000 taels on the spot.
In this way, it is still one thousand taels per person.
Fu Mo received a silver note worth one thousand taels and grinned happily.
He returned to the teahouse with a happy face.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Yuan, you're entertaining guests. Haha, how did you know I won a thousand taels?"
"Little Brother, your rag is pretty good. I won a thousand taels? Yes, it's me, it's me."
"This guest is enjoying his tea. Yes, I did win one thousand taels. Hey, it's just a bit of luck. It's nothing special. I'll win again next year."
Fu Mo is like a proud rooster, crowing at everyone he meets.
The waiter and the customers all looked unhappy.
Shopkeeper Yuan is different.
After learning that Fu Mo had won the prize, Shopkeeper Yuan clasped his hands together, chanted "Buddha bless you, Buddha appear", and offered three incense sticks to Buddha, asking Buddha to enjoy more incense and bless the teahouse to make more money for the prince this year.
Fu Mo watched from the side with a clenched tooth.
What are you talking about?
He was able to find the correct lantern because the princess had already told him the answer. What does it have to do with Buddha?
It is better to pray to the princess than to pray to God.
Fu Mo had shown off enough and excitedly went to the fourth floor.
"Prince, Princess."
"Look." Fu Mo handed the banknote to Xie Yingmian. "Under the wise guidance of the princess, I found the correct answer and won one thousand taels of silver."
"This silver belongs to you. Take it."
Xie Yingmian: "This is yours, you don't have to give it to me."
Fu Mo: "I've shown off enough. I don't have much to spend money on anyway, so just take it."
Xie Yingmian still gave it to Fu Mo.
Although she gave Fu Mo the correct answer, it was not easy to find a specific answer from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lights.
This money is what Fu Mo deserves.
"Oh, oh, how can this be so embarrassing?" Fu Mo declined while putting the banknotes into his pocket.
Xie Yingmian almost laughed when he saw this.
"Any results?"
Speaking of business, Fu Mo's face became serious: "Yes."
"Just as you guessed, Princess, the ten people who guessed the correct answer all did so under the guidance of someone."
"That person was very well concealed and very fast."
"He's a little weird." Fu Mo looked conflicted when he said this.
"How is it strange?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Fu Mo said, "When I tried to follow him, he would suddenly disappear in front of me. When I found the right lantern, he would suddenly reappear in front of me. He came and went without a trace."
"Brother Tianjia tried to track him down several times, but failed."
Xie Yingmian raised his eyebrows: "Tianjia also failed?"
