Chapter 447: The Wife-Indulging Devil King x The Useless Third Miss 16

What happened at the association's gate soon reached Xiao Chengyang's ears.

"What an idiot"

"Black Eagle, go call Duke Wen over here"

"I would like to ask him, if Aunt Qiao has such ability, why did she hide it from me?"

Black Eagle cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid Duke Wen can't come now."

"Hmm?" Xiao Chengyang was confused for a moment. "Why can't you come? What happened?"

Black Eagle said it with some hesitation, the Duke's Mansion is an aid to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince knew that Duke Wen's profound energy had dropped to the orange level, he would definitely be furious.

Xiao Chengyang saw the conflicted look on Black Eagle's face, and said with a stern look, "Tell me, is there anything else I don't know?"

Black Eagle gritted his teeth, hunched over and dared not raise his head, "It's just... Duke Wen's profound energy dropped to the orange level overnight, and now I'm afraid he doesn't have time to come to see Your Highness."

Xiao Chengyang sat up straight in shock. "Is there such a thing? This is really not good news for me."

"Help me change my clothes. I need to go to the Duke's Mansion."

Surprisingly, the prince was not angry. Black Eagle was very puzzled. Could it be that the prince no longer cared about the Duke's Mansion?

The floor of Duke Wen's bedroom was littered with broken porcelain pieces and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, all of which were thrown on the ground by Duke Wen when he lost his temper.

The servants stood trembling in the yard, and no one dared to go into the house to comfort him, for fear that Duke Wen's bad mood would take their lives.

This was the scene Xiao Chengyang saw when he arrived. He frowned and told Black Eagle, "Let them all go down. I will talk to Duke Wen alone."

When Xiao Chengyang opened the door, a teacup hit him in the face. Fortunately, Xiao Chengyang dodged quickly so it did not fall on him.

"presumptuous"

Xiao Chengyang's shout brought Duke Wen back to his senses. He realized that he had almost hit the prince, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. I did not see that it was the prince. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xiao Chengyang waved his hands impatiently, avoiding the mess on the ground and sat down.

"Get up!"

"Tell me why you are so angry."

Duke Wen stood up, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Your humble servant... Your humble servant..."

Xiao Chengyang sneered and said, "Alright, I know everything. It's just that the Xuan Qi has dropped to the orange level."

Duke Wen's eyes widened in surprise. Isn't it a big deal that the Xuan Qi has dropped to the orange level? The prince actually said such a thing.

"Don't be surprised," Xiao Chengyang glanced at Duke Wen calmly and said, "Jin-Jin Qiao is already an intermediate pharmacist. With her around, are you still worried that the Duke's Mansion will be lonely?"

Duke Wen pursed his lips in embarrassment, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, you don't know, this Aunt Qiao is not easy to control."

"I don't know why, but I always feel like Aunt Qiao has become a different person. The previous Aunt Qiao was timid and cowardly, but the current Aunt Qiao...it's really hard to describe."

Xiao Chengyang tapped his chin and thought about what Duke Wen said, then nodded in agreement, "It is indeed different, but it is normal. Who wouldn't get carried away when they have the ability?"

"I heard that Wen Qingqing is coming back?"

Speaking of his eldest daughter, Duke Wen was still very proud and spoke more cheerfully, "Your Highness, Qingqing is indeed coming back."

"Qingqing's master is a high-level pharmacist. As long as Qingqing comes back, he will definitely lend a helping hand to Your Highness."

"Are you serious?" Xiao Chengyang's eyes lit up, but then he thought of something, "But as far as I know, there are currently no high-level pharmacists in Nanwu Country. Duke Wen is not lying to me, right?"

Duke Wen took two steps forward, looking mysterious. "Your Highness, you may not know this, but Master Qingqing is very secretive and never announces his identity as an alchemist to the public, so it's normal that no one knows about him."

Xiao Chengyang raised his eyebrows in relief and said, "That's the best. Since Duke Wen has two daughters who are both pharmacists, you should know what to do without me telling you."

Duke Wen patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as she comes back safely, I will let her meet Your Highness as soon as possible."

"It's just that Aunt Qiao..."

"I think that Aunt Qiao has been in contact with the Ghost King too frequently. Your Highness should stay away from her."

Xiao Chengyang frowned and asked, "Duke Wen, are you hiding something from me?"

"I dare not." Duke Wen was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Xiao Chengyang's gloomy face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yesterday, Aunt Qiao came back, and today my Xuan Qi has dropped to the orange level. I don't believe that this is not Aunt Qiao's work."

There was a gleam in Xiao Chengyang's eyes. He had never heard of such a medicine. It seemed that Jin Jin Qiao should not be underestimated and should not be offended.

"Don't think too much, Lord Wen. Maybe this is just a coincidence. I advise you to build a good relationship with Aunt Qiao and never offend her."

"Hey, if I had known that Aunt Qiao was so lucky, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to cancel the engagement."

Duke Wen could only curl his lips in embarrassment. He didn't want to offend anyone but he had already offended her. Now people were saying that his mansion was abusing the third young lady. He had already lost all his face.

Spring Breeze House

Prince Lingnan sat by the window, looking at the bustling streets, and curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm.

"Is everything arranged?"

The subordinates of Prince Lingnan bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged. We can take action on the day of the palace banquet."

Prince Lingnan nodded and said, "Well, you must be on guard against the Ghost King. If you are discovered by him, you will have no chance of coming back alive."

Prince Lingnan's eyes were filled with determination to win her. Others might not have noticed it, but he knew that the little fox on Jinjin Qiao's shoulder was a nine-tailed divine fox, an ancient mythical beast that could be contracted. He was determined to win this woman, and if he could use her for his own purposes, the world would be his sooner or later.

"First, send a note saying that Prince Lingnan wants to visit Master Alchemist."

Prince Lingnan planned to test Aunt Qiao's attitude first. If he could establish a good relationship with her before taking action, he would not be too rejected even if he took action afterwards.

When Jinjin Qiao received the post, she was still very confused. She did not reply immediately, but went to Xiao Mohan's study.

"My Lord, please take a look at this post"

Xiao Mohan took the post with confusion, and his expression became visibly ugly after reading it.

"You are so good, Prince Lingnan, you have set your sights on my woman."

Aunt Qiao blinked her eyes. The post said that there was something that needed help, so why did Xiao Mohan say that he was targeting her?

"Why does the prince say that?"

Xiao Mohan destroyed the post and said in a cold voice, "Prince Nanling has always been cunning and ruthless. He sent the post to my aunt, so he must not really need help. If I am right, this Prince Lingnan is determined to get my aunt."

"Ah?" Qiao Jinjin pointed at herself in confusion. "Just because I'm a pharmacist?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't Nanwu Country also have several mid-level pharmacists?"
