Chapter 224 The Wasted Son of an Ancient Family (22)
Changqing does things his own way.
He didn't try to avoid people; he went out whenever he felt like it.
As a result, many people began to show their attitude in front of him. They didn't dare to take action, but they would make sarcastic remarks.
However, these people were clearly not very strong in combat.
Often, after just a few words, Changqing would retort until he was red in the face.
Once, Changqing got angry.
He was the first to strike, beating four or five young men until they were trembling and sweating profusely, and then everything fell silent.
Only then did everyone remember.
The Marquis's family was founded on military prowess; their ancestors were the kind who rode horses to fight the enemy.
No one dares to bother us anymore.
However, everyone tacitly ignored him. When they encountered him on the road, they acted as if he didn't exist, and even whispered a few words behind his back.
Changqing was too lazy to care anymore.
Song Dabao, on the other hand, would often come to see him, bringing him things like mountain produce.
Of course, he was often lectured by his family for this, but he was stubborn and couldn't be controlled. His family had no choice but to let him be.
Oh well, this child isn't cut out for studying anyway, and he has no chance of going to the capital. Let him be.
that's all--
In the few months that Changqing had been in town, he hadn't really spoken more than a few words to anyone except Song Dabao.
Isolated!
Jianqiu felt indignant for Changqing.
"These people are too snobbish. Even if the young master doesn't inherit the Marquis's mansion, he is still far superior to these people."
She said indignantly.
Changqing laughed and said, "Who said one can't inherit the Marquis's mansion?"
Jianqiu was stunned.
"Young master, you..."
It's good that the young master is confident, but she really doesn't dare to have any expectations now. After all, the young master is old enough to be the heir apparent, but the Marquis has banished him to his hometown and forbade him to return for three years.
Three years.
In three years, Song Changming might even pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, by which time he will be of age.
The intention is quite obvious.
Changqing then smiled mysteriously and said, "Just wait and see."
......
at this time.
The capital city, within the palace.
The emperor looked at the information presented by his secret guards, his expression unreadable.
On the side.
Eunuch Su served him respectfully, his expression revealing a hint of understanding.
a long time.
The emperor closed the documents and snorted coldly.
"Is this the heir Lord Song has prepared for the Marquis's mansion? Come, come, Peisheng, take a look. Can our great Wei dynasty's dignified Ningyuan Marquis's mansion really be inherited by someone like this?"
He tossed the documents to Eunuch Su, who was standing next to him.
Eunuch Su respectfully accepted it, flipped through it, and then his expression changed.
"Your Majesty, this boy is utterly audacious! He actually dared to..."
The emperor nodded with a stern face.
"Moreover, this boy's academic performance is mediocre at best. He has a good reputation on the surface, which is entirely due to his parents' protection. However, he is incredibly audacious and has actually committed adultery with his elder brother's fiancée... Peisheng, what do you think should be done with him?"
Eunuch Su knelt down, saying, "Both thunder and rain are the Emperor's grace; this servant dares not speak presumptuously."
He's a shrewd and experienced man; he knows everything perfectly well.
The emperor's use of secret guards to investigate the Marquis's residence was clearly intended to summon Mr. Qing back; he simply needed a suitable reason.
After all, it's not entirely reasonable for the imperial power to directly interfere in the family affairs of a marquis's household.
How to handle it.
The emperor already had a plan in mind.
Sure enough, the emperor smiled when he saw this and waved his hand to let him get up.
"Draft an imperial edict!"
......
During this period of time.
The Marquis's mansion can be described as experiencing both extremes of life and death.
Both Marquis Song Yu and Bai Susu were very flustered, after all, the attitude in the palace was very different from what they had imagined.
Especially Lord Song Yu.
He lost his job and was essentially unemployed at home, feeling extremely resentful.
There was less contact with colleagues.
Everyone knows that this marquis did something that offended the emperor.
Anxious!
anxiety!
It kept him up at night, and over the course of a few months, he had a lot more gray hair.
Bai Susu was also flustered.
When the Marquis proposed making his son the heir apparent, the Emperor rejected the proposal outright.
She had also considered making that legitimate son disappear.
But after counting and counting, there really wasn't a suitable person to make the arrangements.
After all, before, that kid had Xiao Mao by his side, but now, he doesn't have anyone of his own anymore.
These days.
She did secretly contact some trustworthy and ruthless people, but sending people to such a distant place would be no small matter in terms of cost.
It will cost a lot of money.
This expense, of course, had to be done discreetly; she couldn't directly withdraw money from the Marquis's mansion. So, she was secretly having some of her own belongings sold off.
Bai Susu sighed inwardly.
It's only because she has no roots and no reliable family to rely on that she doesn't need to go through all this trouble.
In the future, my son must marry a woman with a good background. Not necessarily a princess, but at least she must have a noble title or a father who holds a high position.
Bai Susu thought to herself.
What she didn't know was that her son had already found a suitable partner, and she was actually a woman with some background—a young princess.
Song Changming has finally gotten his revenge during this period.
He didn't feel deeply about his father losing his position; on the contrary, he felt incredibly relieved when his eldest brother was dismissed.
Yeah, I have a feeling that I'm going to win.
Even when he secretly met with Wang Ruo, he boasted that he would become the heir of the Marquis's mansion within two years.
"Hehe, anyway, when the old Marquis arranged the marriage, it was for the heir of the Marquis's mansion. Since Song Changqing himself is not good enough, we are not overstepping our bounds!"
He said with obvious pride.
Wang Ruo nodded in agreement.
She liked refined people who could recite poetry, while Song Changqing was ignorant and incompetent, and didn't know how to coax people, so she disliked him.
"That would be perfect. Anyway, my parents don't agree to annul the engagement. When you become the heir, it will be a beautiful story for us."
She was wearing a brocade dress today, looking both noble and beautiful. When she nodded, her snow-white neck swayed, and Song Changming stared in amazement before moving closer.
"Ruo Mei, you look so beautiful today!"
He murmured a word of praise and stretched out his hand.
Wang Ru blushed and quickly dodged away, "What are you doing? We're on a pleasure boat, there are so many people outside!"
Song Changming chuckled, "Isn't this even more exciting? Anyway, I'm here disguised as this girl today, so no one will suspect anything."
He pointed to the wig on the ground and said with some pride.
Wang Ruo's heart skipped a beat.
They didn't dodge anymore.
A few minutes later, Song Changming put on a wig, lowered his head, and walked out of the painted boat.
He was very satisfied.
Outside, the lights were as bright as day, and songs filled the air.
A cool breeze blew by.
Let him close his eyes comfortably.
Is this what victory feels like?
Song Changming couldn't help but sigh.
However, as soon as he got ashore, he saw his servant rushing over.
"Young master! Hurry! People from the palace have arrived; the Marquis's residence is waiting to receive the imperial decree!"
Song Changming's face lit up with joy.
Could it be that there is more good news? Has Father successfully negotiated and is going to make him the heir apparent?
"Quickly, go back right now!"
He quickly replied.
