Chapter 81: Tensions
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Prince Rong was feeding the thrush.
Su Yan smiled and bowed.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, you are about to marry your beautiful lady."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong teased Huamei.
"Mr. Su, it's a bit early to congratulate you. Who knows, maybe the princess still won't marry."
Su Yan smiled and spoke upon hearing this.
"The wings are broken. Now it's your turn to feed them."
Prince Rong continued to pour some water into the cage.
Then he walked aside and sat down.
Su Yan continued speaking.
"Your Highness, when a woman is vulnerable, she is most likely to remember the man who cared for her. The princess is now heartbroken and angry over the loss of her mother. If Your Highness were to stay by her side and comfort her, she would naturally realize how good Your Highness is."
Prince Rong gently stroked the teacup in his hand, and the image of the maid beside Xiao Fuguang pointing a sword at him that day flashed through his mind.
"Mr. Su is absolutely right. It's time for me to go to the Xiao family."
Xiao family.
As soon as Xiao Fuguang came back, he knelt in the ancestral hall.
Looking at the tablets of her father, brother and mother, she said nothing. Lin Qingwan tried to persuade her again and again, but she was still immersed in sorrow.
The funeral had just ended and the Xiao family still had many things to deal with, so Lin Qingwan had no choice but to give instructions to Liu Yue Xingyue.
"Take good care of the young lady. I'll bring her some food later."
Liu Yue and Xing Yue hurriedly spoke upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, Madam. We will take good care of the young lady."
After saying that, he knelt silently beside Xiao Fuguang.
Xiao Fuguang spoke with a somewhat hoarse voice.
"You all go out, I want to be alone."
Liu Yue looked at her with concern.
"Miss………"
Xiao Fuguang looked at Madam Xiao's tablet.
"I want to be with my mother."
Liu Yue and Xing Yue looked at each other, and finally looked at Xiao Fuguang with eyes full of heartache.
"Then Miss, we will go out first. We will guard the door. If you need anything, just call us."
The two walked out of the ancestral hall.
Xingyue spoke with red eyes.
"Sister Liuyue, what should we do? Miss, how can your body bear this?"
Liu Yue looked at the door of the ancestral hall.
"Madam cares so much about Miss, how could she bear to see Miss sad? I hope Miss can think about it and cheer up, even for Madam's sake."
lobby.
Lin Qingwan looked at Prince Rong of the Xiao family who had suddenly arrived and saluted respectfully.
"Your Highness, your humble servant greets you. The Xiao family has just suffered a great loss, and the palace is in chaos. I wonder what instructions your Highness has for you at the Xiao residence?"
Prince Rong spoke upon hearing this.
"I heard that Miss Xiao was deeply saddened by the loss of her mother, so I came to visit her today."
It’s because of Fu Guang, Lin Qingwan said helplessly.
"I, your humble servant, would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness on behalf of Fu Guang. However, Fu Guang is not feeling well right now and has been staying in the ancestral hall for the past two days. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to come see Your Highness."
Prince Rong stood up upon hearing this.
"It is because she is sad that I came to see her."
Su Yan walked beside and led the way for Prince Rong.
Seeing them walking towards the ancestral hall, Lin Qingwan hurriedly caught up with them.
"Your Highness, Fu Guang is not in good condition right now and is not suitable to meet with guests. I hope Your Highness will understand."
Prince Rong stopped and turned to look at Lin Qingwan, with an unquestionable determination in his eyes.
"Madam Xiao, I know Miss Xiao is feeling heavy-hearted right now, but it is precisely because of this that I have come here. I hope to offer her some comfort during this difficult time. Madam Xiao, please do not stop me."
Su Yan also echoed from the side.
"Madam Lin, the prince is sincere and honest, so why should you worry so much? Perhaps the prince's arrival can bring some comfort to Miss Xiao."
After saying that, he continued walking ahead.
Seeing this, Lin Qingwan had no choice but to follow.
"I am worried that Fu Guang might offend the prince."
Liu Yue Xingyue, who was guarding the door of the ancestral hall, saw that Prince Rong had actually come.
"Meet the prince."
Prince Rong looked at the door of the ancestral hall and spoke.
"Open the door, I want to see your lady."
Lin Qingwan spoke awkwardly.
"Your Highness, this is the Xiao family's ancestral hall..."
Su Yan spoke from the side.
“Madam Xiao, there is nothing better than the king’s land in the whole world. There is no place in this world that our king cannot go to, not to mention that our prince is concerned about Miss Xiao.”
"When Madam Xiao was still alive, she discussed the marriage between the prince and Miss Xiao with our Imperial Concubine. The palace maids in Yikun Palace are also aware of this. From now on, the prince and Miss Xiao will be husband and wife. What's wrong with the prince entering the Xiao family's ancestral hall in advance?"
There is no way my mother would agree to such a marriage. Prince Rong is forcing me to do something I can't do. Lin Qingwan gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Your Highness, Fu Guang has a special fate. Because she went to the battlefield, she cannot marry within a year. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for the fact that my father and husband both died fighting for Xuanyuan."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong looked at Lin Qingwan coldly.
"So Madam Xiao is now using the Xiao family's achievements to pressure me?"
Lin Qingwan lifted her skirt and knelt down towards Xuanyuan Jing.
"I dare not."
"I am just worried about my younger sister."
"Your Highness, all the men of the Xiao family died on the battlefield. Now that my mother has passed away, the family has lost its pillar. I am just an ordinary woman, born stupid and without any ability. I can only cry when I am wronged."
Then she looked up at Prince Rong with tears in her eyes.
"I also ask the prince and the emperor to have mercy on the Xiao family."
Although Lin Qingwan's face was full of tears, her eyes were firm, and Prince Rong smiled at once.
"Alright, alright, the people in this Xiao family are truly more interesting than the other. Madam Xiao keeps saying she has no ability, yet she dares to use my father to pressure me."
"Tsk tsk tsk, is the Xiao family going to throw the jar into chaos?"
Lin Qingwan continued to kneel, raised her hand and kowtowed.
"My little sister is in a bad mental state right now. I'm really worried about offending His Majesty. The Xiao family has no sons, so please ask Your Highness Prince Rong to go back first. When my little sister has recovered from the pain of losing her mother, I'll ask my brother to take me and my little sister to the palace to apologize to His Highness."
Prince Rong looked at Lin Qingwan with a playful smile on his face and a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Madam Xiao, Lin Qingwan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, are you trying to tell me that if I insist on having my own way today, you will have others report me?"
After hearing this, Lin Qingwan continued to kneel in front of Prince Rong.
"I dare not."
Prince Rong looked at her and spoke in a cold voice.
"Since you don't dare, then get out of the way."
Lin Qingwan's hands trembled slightly with fear, but she still knelt at the door of the ancestral hall, refusing to give in.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Prince Rong sneered upon seeing this.
"Oh."
"That's really courageous."
"Someone, pull Madam Xiao away."
Seeing this, Liu Yue and Xing Yue stepped forward to block Lin Qingwan.
Liu Yue looked at Prince Rong without a trace of fear in her eyes.
"Your Highness, as a high and mighty prince, is now embarrassing a weak woman, and the family member of a loyal minister. This is somewhat unmannerly and even less dignified than the royal family."
Seeing Liu Yue putting his hands on his waist while talking, as if he was going to take out the soft sword, Prince Rong's eyes were full of interest.
"So it's you, the maid again."
"This king remembers you, you are a courageous person."
Liu Yue spoke bluntly upon hearing this.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
"Our young mistress is gentle and virtuous, and she respects the majesty of the royal family. I am just a little servant, ignorant of etiquette and vulgar. If I accidentally offend Your Highness, my life will be in vain. Please don't embarrass my mistress."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong looked at her and spoke with interest.
"What if this prince must see your young lady today?"
Liu Yue directly drew the sword from his waist.
"Then consider this slave as crazy today!"
