Chapter 250: Is the head meant to appear taller?
"The mother's teaching is so that the son knows he is wrong."
Ling Qi admitted his mistake, but his brows furrowed again, his eyebrows twitching violently, and he stared at Xu Chunxue with a serious look.
If there really were wronged souls in the Duke's Mansion, then Yanran, who was about to be killed by the vicious woman Xu Chunxue, would be the new wronged soul!
"County Lady Jiayi, there must be a reason why you brought the Imperial Guards to surround our entire Shen family without any explanation. Could it be that you really did it just to save this vicious woman?"
Until now, he has been calling Chunxue a vicious woman, as if this person is not his wife who has shared his joys and sorrows.
Xu Chunxue's heart had already turned cold, and it wouldn't get even colder because of his words.
Su Tan raised his eyes and looked at the depressed and deep Ling Qi. For some reason, Su Tan saw some of Song Tingchen's shadow in him.
She suddenly felt extremely disgusted, and a trace of irritation appeared between her eyebrows. All those with similar personalities to Song Tingchen were so conceited and ignorant. She had no fault to convert such fools. She just said coldly: "The Duke's wife has already made it very clear. There is a vengeful ghost haunting the mansion."
"I have been ordered to come and slay the vengeful ghost."
After she finished speaking, her gaze was almost fixed on Ling Qi, and her voice was surprisingly calm, "Prince Ling, please don't block the way."
Ling Qi frowned deeply.
Perhaps the words were too impolite, causing him to be stunned for a moment. He didn't understand how he had offended Su Tan.
He just frowned and said, "Don't worry, County Lady. If there is a vengeful ghost haunting our house, just get it out. I will not stop you."
However, Su Tan suddenly called his name...
Ling Qi's forehead throbbed slightly, and for a moment, his angry eyes stared at Xu Chunxue who was hiding behind Su Tan. There seemed to be some relief and deep resentment between his brows.
"Is it you?"
Ling Qi stared at Xu Chunxue intently, wishing he could find out several secrets from her. He seemed to have suddenly understood the truth of the matter, and his tone suddenly became extremely excited.
"I said Chunxue was innocent, intelligent, and kind-hearted, and would never do such evil things. No wonder he suddenly poisoned Yanran. It turns out that it was you, the vengeful ghost, who possessed my wife's body!"
“Get out!”
Ling Qi's eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Xu Chunxue, wishing he could draw his sword and kill this evil woman. "No matter who you are, get off my wife's body!"
Ling Qi couldn't tell whether he was relieved or what.
He was annoyed that a disgusting evil ghost had come to the Duke's Mansion, turning his happy home into a mess.
But at the same time, he was glad that Xu Chunxue was not as vicious and narrow-minded as he had imagined.
She was simply possessed by a vengeful ghost, which was why she did things that left him completely baffled.
As long as the vengeful ghost is driven out of his body, the entire Ling family will return to peace from now on.
Ling Qi immediately turned around and looked at Su Tan, "County Lady Jiayi, I'm handing this vicious woman over to you now. I have no objection to how you kill the vengeful ghost. I only have one thing to ask: please spare my wife's life."
Xu Chunxue was both amused and annoyed. Suddenly she laughed out loud and stared at Ling Qi without blinking. "I am a vengeful ghost?"
"Ling Qi, are you so sure?"
He was so sure that all the evil things in this house were done by her.
Even if it wasn't him who did it, there must have been a vengeful ghost with a lot of evil deeds that took over her body and used her identity to do evil.
He never thought that she could be truly innocent, never thought that she was being wronged.
Xu Chunxue took a deep breath, walked forward quickly, raised her hand, and slapped Ling Qi's face several times.
At this moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Ling Qi was more than disappointment. "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have saved you!"
"Ling Qi, your conscience has really been eaten by a dog. Even if I saved a pig, it would be better than saving a heartless and ungrateful dog like you!"
If I had known that a good deed would lead to the bitter consequences today, I would have let Ling Qi die immediately.
Even if he died, she wouldn't be so sad or desperate.
The Duke and his wife frowned suddenly when they saw the scene in front of them, but because there were guests present, they didn't say anything.
Ling Qi's brows twitched fiercely, and he raised his hand and grabbed Xu Chunxue's wrist with force.
“That’s enough!”
He glared at her, wishing he could dig holes in her body. "How dare you speak to my wife at this point!"
"Haruyuki would never say such a thing. Haruyuki once said that she was most grateful that she hadn't abandoned me out of fear that day. Even if she was furious, she wouldn't say such vicious words as yours!"
"You vengeful ghost, get off Haruyuki right now!"
What a great thing to say, you vengeful ghost! Why don’t you get off Chunxue right away?
Xu Chunxue tried hard to break free, but Ling Qi seemed to feel sick at the mere contact with this vengeful ghost, and he actually shook her hand away with force.
Xu Chunxue lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Su Tan helped her from behind, so she didn't end up suffering the consequences.
Seeing Su Tan meddling in other people's affairs, Ling Qi frowned again.
"Master Su, why do you care about this vicious woman? She harmed Yanran and now appears to have harmed our entire Xingguo Mansion. Isn't that enough?"
Besides, didn’t Su Tan say that this resentful ghost was doing evil for the concubine?
Why is Su Tan starting to show softness again at this moment?
Before Su Tan could speak, Prince Lu Zhiheng, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help it.
"My Lord, you have such a big head, are you trying to show off?"
