"What nonsense are you talking about! That little princess slandered me, and you say the same thing? I am your father-in-law, the head of this family. How can you be so disrespectful?" Duke Cheng couldn't admit it, and denied it angrily.
"I'm disrespectful? I've been your Wei family's daughter-in-law for so many years, and every day I've lived my life at your mercy?"
Qian was also annoyed, "In the past you slandered me, saying that I gave birth to a foolish daughter and mistreat me.
"Now the little princess has made it very clear that Yan'er became like this because of that Taoist Chen!
"And Taoist Chen has known your sister's family for a long time. It's obvious that he teamed up with your sister's family to harm my Yan'er. I have been looked down upon for so many years and cannot hold my head up in the Duke's Mansion!
“But today, the truth has come to light!
"You actually want Yan'er to kill the little princess to avenge your sister's family!
"You only have your sister's family in your eyes, and you don't have any real family like us!"
The more Qian thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt something was wrong.
This Princess Lingfu is obviously not the emperor's biological daughter. In the past, she believed what her father-in-law said and thought that she was a jinx.
But when they met today, the Fifth Prince Jing Lan protected and doted on her in every way, treating her like his own sister.
This is enough to show how much the emperor dotes on this little princess!
The fifth prince said that he would report everything to the emperor when he returned to the palace. If the emperor also knew that his father-in-law deliberately let Yan'er go to Baicao Academy to harm the little princess... and also had the intention of avenging Zhao Jieyu's family, with the emperor's violent temper, could he continue to tolerate the father-in-law?
After realizing all this, Qian felt more and more that she could no longer stay in Duke Cheng's Mansion!
If we stay any longer, we might all be killed by the emperor!
"That's enough! I want to divorce your son!"
After saying this, Qian immediately returned to her courtyard in a rage, packed up all her valuables, and sneaked out the back door with her trusted maids and servants...
The other side.
Xiao Shuangbao followed Jing Lan back to the palace.
Jing Lan knew that she still had Wei Ziyan's matters to deal with, so he didn't stay there to disturb her. Instead, he went to find Emperor Cheng Xuan and told him everything that happened today without missing a word.
"Duke Cheng actually dared to harm Shuang Bao?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng Xuan was indeed annoyed and immediately sneered, "He doesn't really think that I don't have any leverage over him, does he?"
Afterwards, he asked Jing Lan to leave and directly called Zhou Xu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, to the palace again.
When Zhou Xu heard that the emperor wanted him to investigate the Duke Cheng's Mansion, and then heard that it was for Xiao Shuangbao, his face was immediately filled with joy!
"The little princess is truly my lucky star. I've long since discovered that Duke Cheng has been embezzling the fertile land, but due to his status, I've never been able to take action... Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, little princess! I can finally rid the Eastern Qi Kingdom of another pest!"
Zhou Xu was visibly happy.
Emperor Cheng Xuan also told him directly to go ahead and investigate without worrying about any consequences.
He absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of such a thing that harbors evil intentions towards Xiao Shuangbao!
Zhou Xu returned to the Dali Temple with a happy face, and bowed to Xiao Shuangbao again and again.
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao was studying Wei Ziyan carefully.
"If we want to cure Wei Ziyan, we must repair her soul. However, the only way to repair her soul now is to let it slowly heal in an ancient bronze coin. However, if her soul leaves her body, she will die.
“And if you don’t want her body to die, you must place a soul in her body.
"The only thing that can be put in there now is the foreign soul that previously resided in her body.
"But that soul is too evil. What if she refuses to come out after I put her in there and tries to take over my body?"
As Little Shuangbao was talking, he scratched his hair and said, "Why hasn't Grandmaster Brother come back yet? Shuangbao doesn't know what to do."
"You miss me already?"
Qin Cheng chuckled and suddenly appeared with a "pop".
"Brother Ancestor! You are finally back! Shuangbao is in trouble! Help Shuangbao!"
Xiao Shuangbao was very excited when he saw him, and quickly told him the whole story.
Qin Cheng is also good at grasping the key points.
"So, before I left, I told you to only do it once a month, and you didn't listen at all?"
He raised his eyebrows and said.
"Listen, I hear you. Shuangbao was indeed only going to count it once, but since the situation was urgent, I added three more..."
Little Shuangbao felt very guilty, avoiding glances and scratching his head with his little hands.
Seeing her like this, Qin Cheng raised his hand helplessly and knocked her on the forehead.
"Luckily, Zhou Xu now worships you as a deity and has given you a lot of faith power. The power of faith and the danger of revealing the secrets offset each other, which is why you didn't suffer backlash. Moreover, I have found a way to prevent backlash for you in the future."
Qin Cheng said.
"Ah? What's the solution?" When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, he didn't care about the headache and just stared at Qin Cheng with his big watery eyes blinking.
Qin Cheng was touched by her cute little appearance.
"It's very simple. Every time you read someone's fortune, you have to do a good deed to offset the backlash. It's best to do one good deed every day. As long as you help others, they will be grateful to you and generate a force of faith. If someone worships you as a deity like Zhou Xu does, you will gain more and more faith. That way, you won't have to worry about backlash if you reveal your fortune."
