Chapter 246: The Xingguo Mansion Again
Song Tingchen's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He frowned and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Su Tan had no intention of arguing with him anymore. Instead, he knelt on the ground again and asked for permission. "Your Majesty, since we are going to the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, please allow His Royal Highness Prince Chen to lead the Imperial Guards and go with me."
She said this, as if she had already anticipated that Emperor Qinglong might let Song Tingchen go. Before he could speak, she said, "The people in the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion are very picky. If General Song were to go, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble."
Emperor Qinglong: “…”
Emperor Qinglong really didn't understand why Su Tan's dislike for Song Tingchen was so strong.
But what she said was absolutely right.
Those aristocratic families are all arrogant and naturally look down on people like Song Tingchen who come from a humble family.
"Then as you say, this matter will be handed over to you and Prince Chen."
"Tomorrow I will ask the Duke of Xingguo how he raised his children. The previous prince, Ling Ran, did so many evil things that he almost created a water ghost like Jiang Nian, causing the entire Dongchu people to be buried with him."
"What kind of vengeful ghost has the current Crown Prince Ling Qi provoked? If the ancestral tomb of the Duke of Xingguo is not in good condition, then they should repair it!"
"Don't cause trouble for me here all day long!"
Because so many things happened tonight, one thunder after another hit his head, so that Emperor Qinglong did not react at first. Once again, the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion was targeted by the ghost.
Ling Ran, the former prince of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, was spoiled since childhood because he was born to the wife of the main wife. He was obsessed with women and did not take human life seriously.
But the current prince of the Duke of Xingguo, Ling Qi, has been well-educated and knowledgeable since childhood, completely different from his elder brother.
How could he do such a thing now?
Is there something wrong with the family tradition of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion?
Or is there something wrong with the ancestral tomb of the Duke of Xingguo? !
The corners of Su Tan's mouth twitched.
"This...I don't know either. I have to go to the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion today to find out."
Originally, Emperor Qinglong didn't say anything, and she didn't think about it in this way.
But now that Emperor Qinglong said this, Su Tan's brows twitched violently.
Right, why is it the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion again?!
Why is it always their Xingguo Mansion!
Su Tan did not dare to delay and led the Royal Guards together with Lu Zhiheng and hurried to the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion.
…
At this moment, the lights in the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion were on. Xu Chunxue was locked in the woodshed, unable to use any strength. Ling Qi was afraid that she would escape, and was also afraid that he would do something extreme and hurt the girl Yanran he had in mind, so he ordered someone to drug her and tied her up here.
There was a large group of people guarding outside the woodshed.
The maidservant guarding the gate sighed, as if showing some pity, and whispered outside: "Is the prince really so heartless? He used to love his wife very much, why is he so…"
One of the maids gave her a sharp look and said, "Why call her the Crown Prince's wife? Just call her Xu. It's not certain how long she can remain the Crown Prince's wife."
"I don't know what drove the prince crazy back then. He had to marry a useless peasant girl like her. I said at that time that it was only a matter of time before this woman was divorced. You see, my prediction turned out to be right now."
In the past, Ling Qi was not yet a prince, but just a bastard who needed to keep a low profile and conceal his edge.
Most of the time, he and Xu Chunxue lived their own lives behind closed doors, so naturally no one paid attention to them.
Although he and Xu Chunxue had a few years of sweet time together, it became a topic of conversation among others after dinner.
However, in the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, Xu Chunxue and Ling Qi mostly kept a low profile and acted like invisible people.
However, things don't always go as planned.
The two of them wanted to keep a low profile and not cause trouble, but they didn't expect that Ling Ran would die suddenly.
Ling Ran is dead. Even if Ling Qi wants to keep a low profile, he is still the most outstanding one among the many illegitimate sons.
So the Duke asked for a title and made him the Crown Prince.
Xu Chunxue naturally became the envied wife of the Crown Prince.
Who knew that before the good days could last long, Ling Qi suddenly brought back a girl named Yanran.
No one knows what the girl's last name is.
She just heard the prince calling her Yanran all day long.
Later, even though Miss Yanran became the prince's concubine, no one was allowed to call her Aunt, and people were required to call her Miss.
"That Miss Yanran is not only prettier than Miss Xu, she's also more capable of handling things. Just wait and see, the position of the Crown Prince's wife will eventually fall into Miss Yanran's hands. As for this one, the Crown Prince doesn't even care about her anymore, so why would you care about her?"
The nanny outside showed a bit of contempt on her face.
It’s not that she looks down on Xu Chunxue.
But most of the people in the mansion looked down on Xu Chunxue. It was because Xu Chunxue had nothing and no powerful family to support her.
Since you are so greedy for fame and fortune, isn't it your own fault that you have ended up like this?
As he was speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The man had a thin figure, but there seemed to be a layer of frost and snow between his eyebrows.
Everyone immediately knelt down, "Greetings, Prince."
Ling Qi waved his hand and asked someone to open the door.
He walked in slowly and looked at Xu Chunxue, who was pale and skinny. A trace of pity flashed between his brows, but more of it was anger.
"Do you know that Yanran is still unconscious?"
"Xu Chunxue, when I first met you, you were a kind and generous girl. How come it's only been so long now, and you've become so vicious!"
"You really disappoint me!"
