Grandma Jing's eyes widened suddenly. Only then did she notice that her eldest grandson had changed his clothes, and she almost burst into laughter.
A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room.
They could even change their clothes. If you said there wasn't something going on between the two of them, no one would believe it.
Anyway, this old woman doesn't believe it.
“Princess Chang Le.” Madam Jing looked at Sheng Lingwei, feeling even more grateful to her. “Princess, I have no way to repay your great kindness. I can only kowtow to you here to express my gratitude.”
Sheng Lingwei's brow twitched, and she quickly reached out to support Old Madam Jing, letting out a long sigh.
“Madam, Jing Qingyun and I have known each other since childhood. We are very good friends. As his elder, you are also my elder. You cannot kowtow to me. Wouldn’t that shorten my lifespan?”
Madam Jing's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly explained, "No, no, Princess, please don't misunderstand. I only wanted to express my gratitude, not to shorten your lifespan. I...I..."
As she spoke, Madam Jing became incoherent and didn't know how to explain herself.
Jing Qingyun smiled helplessly and gently patted Old Madam Jing's back.
“Grandmother, you don’t need to be like this. The princess is broad-minded and not a petty person. Please rest assured, this is a matter between the princess and me. I will repay the princess for saving my life.”
call!
Madam Jing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jing Qingyun with a serious expression.
"Yun'er, you should repay the princess's great kindness. But don't take advantage of your relationship with the princess to make a rash decision about who is superior. Do you understand what your grandmother means?"
Jing Qingyun was even more helpless and could only nod in agreement. Then she looked at Sheng Lingwei and shrugged helplessly.
Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but chuckle.
To be honest, she was quite envious of her good brother, who had a family who doted on him, both in his past life and in this world.
She was destined to be alone.
Family ties were so distant to her, something she could only long for but never reach!
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Sheng Lingwei said to the Jing family, "It's getting late, I need to go back and rest. You should all rest early too, and we'll set off for Yucheng County together early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Dong, who had been waiting to the side, frowned slightly and immediately stepped forward, bowing as he asked, "Princess Chang Le, do you mean all the exiled prisoners, or just Prince Jing's family, should accompany you?"
Sheng Lingwei slightly curled the corners of her lips, "All the exiled prisoners are going together. What, are you unwilling? Or do you have some objection?"
She only wanted to travel with Rong Momo and the others, but plans don't always go as expected, and she ended up meeting her good brother.
It doesn't matter if his good brother is alone, the key is that he is a family, and the family is related by blood, and most of the people in this team are their relatives.
Therefore, even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to take these people with him on the journey.
But if any of them are ungrateful, then don't blame her for being ruthless; after all, she's a crazy villain.
Zhao Dong tensed up and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm overjoyed, how could I have any opinions? Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take good care of the exiled prisoners and will not disturb your peace."
Sheng Lingwei didn't say anything more and led Rong Mama and the other four out of the dilapidated temple.
After personally seeing Sheng Lingwei off, Jing Qingyun's gentle face instantly turned icy. She called Zhao Dong over and gave him a stern warning.
“Zhao Dong, Princess Chang Le is my savior and the most important person in my heart. I do not want you to show her any disrespect.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dong suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder the master's gaze towards Princess Chang Le was so intense.
He found it strange at the time, as his master was always calm and stern, with an icy expression all year round, yet he showed the most genuine smile to Princess Chang Le.
Just like... just like a peacock courting its mate.
Tsk tsk, I never would have guessed that his master was so skilled. If the other brothers saw this, their eyes would definitely pop out.
Suppressing his shock, Zhao Dong nodded solemnly, "Yes, Master, I understand what you mean."
Jing Qingyun nodded slightly with a cold face, "Remove everyone's shackles, so as not to delay the princess's journey. As for the people in the group, those who need to be removed should be removed."
"Yes, Master."
A smile appeared on Zhao Dong's face. "Wow, this is rare! My master has been in a daze for so long, and now he's finally standing up."
Could this be the legendary power of love?
The prisoner who came out to relieve himself suddenly saw Jing Qingyun's face and screamed in terror, "Ah! A ghost! A ghost! Prince Jing's ghost is here to claim my life! Help!"
Jing Qingyun: "..." When did he die?
The piercing screams echoed throughout the dilapidated temple.
The exiled prisoners were all startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Waaah, Prince Jing, it was Princess Chang Le who killed you! If you want revenge, go after her! We're all innocent! Please, spare us!"
"Prince Jing, General Jing, we have no grudges against each other, please don't cause us any trouble, I beg you..."
“Your Highness, I am a relative of your Jing family. I was already wronged enough by being implicated and exiled by your family. Now that you are dead, you should be reincarnated and not come back to the world to cause trouble for innocent people like us.”
"..."
Hearing the cries and pleas of the crowd, the Jing family members looked at each other, bewildered.
Old Madam Jing strode into the front yard. "Hey, what are you doing? My eldest grandson, Jing Qingyun, is alive and well. When did he die?"
Lin Jingyi chimed in, "That's right. My son was saved by Princess Chang Le. He's fine now and a living person, not some ghost. You're talking complete nonsense."
Xie Hui glanced at the kneeling crowd, couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then waved to Jing Qingyun, who exuded a cold aura.
"Qingyun, come in quickly, let everyone see if you're a human or a ghost?"
Upon hearing this, everyone screamed and huddled together for a sense of security.
"Ah! Help! Prince Jing, please don't come in!"
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Prince Jing, go and seek revenge on Princess Chang Le, or go and seek revenge on the Emperor. He is the one who caused your family to be raided and your family to be exiled.”
"Waaaa, a ghost! There's a ghost! Someone help!"
"..."
Listening to what everyone was saying, Jing Qingyun's brow twitched. These people were even more prone to overthinking than his own family. He was truly impressed.
"Shut your mouths, or don't blame me for eating you all."
Waaah.
Everyone shuddered and quickly covered their mouths. They didn't want to be eaten by a ghost; that could be fatal!
Jing Qingyun sighed and rubbed her forehead, then deliberately stood under the torch.
"Now I command you to raise your heads and see if I have a shadow. You should know that ghosts do not have shadows."
