1317 Failed, the Ninth Prince Lost His Mind
Having said that, there was nothing Wang Jinling didn't understand. The Ninth Prince was determined to destroy the Jixia Academy, and he wanted to be an accomplice.
Wang Jinling closed his eyes in pain and asked, "Why me?" Why do you want me to come out and testify against the Jixia Academy?
"Because you are the eldest son, you are Mr. Wenyuan's disciple, and you are an outstanding student of the Jixia Academy. Most importantly, you are the head of the Wang family, so people will believe what you say." The Ninth Prince said slowly and low, and every word seemed to knock on Wang Jinling's heart.
Because he is Wang Jinling, because he is famous, he has power and fame, and the power of Jixia Academy has nothing to do with him. Therefore, his words are more convincing, and no one will doubt him when he testifies against Jixia Academy...
Fame, Wang Jinling will also be tired of fame one day.
Wang Jinling opened his eyes, looked at the Ninth Uncle, and nodded slowly and heavily: "I promise you!"
The Ninth Prince was not a gentleman, so he would never be a gentleman and give Wang Jinling more time to think. After the discussion, the Ninth Prince took Wang Jinling to see Mr. Wenyuan's body, regardless of whether he had thought it through or not, and told Feng Qingchen and Zhan Yan that Wang Jinling was here.
Feng Qingchen was just changing the medicine for Doudou and would be here a little later. Zhan Yan arrived at the flower hall first and saw Wang Jinling burst into tears without saying a word.
"Brother Jinling, you are finally here. Dad, Dad is dead." Zhan Yan's eyes were as red as walnuts, and his body was so weak that he fell down at the slightest breeze.
Wang Jinling did not step forward to comfort him, but nodded calmly: "I have already gone to see the master, he passed away peacefully. The dead cannot come back to life, you should not be too sad, it will make the master feel uneasy."
At the end, Wang Jinling felt a lump in his throat.
The gentleman died just to show his face!
"Thank you, Brother Jinling." Zhan Yan sobbed twice and choked up, "Brother Jinling, it's good to have you around. I don't know what to do these days."
Without a father, without someone to support her, she realized that all the arts she had learned, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, were not enough to make a living.
Even though she was well-read and had a reputation for talent, she was still a woman after all. She knew that her father's death was related to the Ninth Prince's uncle, but she could not take revenge. She could only stay under the protection of the Ninth Prince's uncle and wait for her family to come and seek justice for her.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyan. I will take care of Mr.'s affairs and will not let him die in vain. You are his daughter and no one can hurt you." When mentioning the word "daughter", Wang Jinling paused slightly. Zhan Yan was immersed in her own sadness and didn't pay any attention at all.
"I believe in Brother Jinling." Zhan Yan took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped away her tears. Her eyes, washed by tears, were bright and firm, but Wang Jinling didn't want to look at them.
When he saw Zhan Yan, he would think of his master's death. For his master, he would let Zhan Yan live a carefree life, but it could only be like this. He could no longer love Zhan Yan like a sister as before.
After experiencing the pain of losing her father, Zhan Yan had a lot to say to Wang Jinling, but Wang Jinling always had a indifferent look on his face and didn't respond much. Zhan Yan was a smart woman, if she hadn't been immersed in sadness, she would have noticed Wang Jinling's abnormality long ago.
"Brother Jinling, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Yan looked at Wang Jinling with concern.
"I'm a little tired." He wanted to say "It's okay", but Wang Jinling really wanted to be quiet for a while. He didn't know how to face Zhan Yan yet.
A trace of hurt flashed across Zhan Yan's eyes. He stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Jin Ling. I forgot that you just arrived. Go and have a rest. I won't disturb you."
Love
She left reluctantly, but until she walked out the door, she didn't hear Wang Jinzhuang trying to keep her.
When Feng Qingchen came over, she saw Wang Jinling sitting alone on a chair, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in sadness. Feng Qingchen couldn't help but lower his footsteps and walked in lightly.
Feng Qingchen stood in front of Wang Jinling for a long time, but Wang Jinling didn't react at all. Feng Qingchen was startled and asked softly: "Jinling, are you okay?"
"Ah?" Wang Jinling was startled, and looked up suddenly, and found Feng Qingchen standing in front of him, and said quickly: "It's okay, I was just thinking about something."
"I'm glad you're okay. I see you look very tired. Go down and have a rest first." Having not seen each other for many days, and since Wang Jinling left without saying goodbye that day, Feng Qingchen really wanted to have a chat with him, but now was not the right time.
"I'm fine." Wang Jinling quickly returned to normal. To show that he was fine, he stood up, but his body swayed and he almost fell.
Feng Qingchen shook his head: "You are like this and you still say you are fine, we can talk later if you have anything to say, go and rest first."
Feng Qingchen did not allow Wang Jinling to refuse, and called the servants to settle Wang Jinling down.
Wang Jinling’s refusal was futile, and since his current condition was really not very good, he had no choice but to accept Feng Qingchen’s kindness.
After a quick meeting with Wang Jinling, Feng Qingchen was happy to know that Wang Jinling did not blame them for Mr. Wenyuan's death. When he came out, he met the Ninth Emperor's uncle. Feng Qingchen asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The Ninth Prince Uncle has been so busy lately that he can't even be found. No wonder Feng Qingchen was so surprised to see the Ninth Prince Uncle.
"What? Is it weird that I'm here?" Saying this meant that the Ninth Prince was unhappy, but he didn't show any emotion at all. Outsiders couldn't hear it at all, but Feng Qingchen could hear it.
Thinking about why the Ninth Prince said such sour words, Feng Qingchen couldn't help but smile gently. A gleam of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, so bright and colorful that the Ninth Prince couldn't help but lose his mind.
Feng Qingchen used to be a young girl. Although her figure was more graceful than that of an average girl, she did not have the charm of a mature woman. Occasionally, her eyes would reveal a hint of intoxication, which was somewhat inconsistent with her young appearance. But now...
Everything was extremely natural. Feng Qingchen's Feng Qing seemed to be integrated into her bones, making people intoxicated. The Ninth Prince stared at Feng Qingchen in a daze...
"Huh? What's wrong? Everyone is in a daze today." Feng Qingchen saw that the Ninth Prince looked dazed and waved her hand in front of him in confusion, but the Ninth Prince did not react at all.
Feng Qingchen could still explain Wang Jinling's absent-mindedness, saying that he was too sad about Mr. Wenyuan's death, and was too tired from traveling all night, but what about the Ninth Uncle?
Feng Qingchen didn’t understand. How could such an alert person lose consciousness? Could something have happened?
Feng Qingchen's face changed, and he took a step forward to hold the Ninth Prince's hand. However, he didn't expect that the Ninth Prince's body would react instinctively to someone approaching, and he shook his hand back.
Feng Qingchen was no match for the Ninth Prince Uncle. Moreover, she had never thought that the Ninth Prince Uncle would make a move. She was caught off guard and was thrown away by the Ninth Prince Uncle. Feng Qingchen was shocked and had no idea what was going on.
At this time, the Ninth Prince also came back to his senses, his face changed, and he immediately stepped forward and tried to hold Feng Qingchen, his cold eyes full of apology.
What did he do?
At this moment, a black shadow jumped out faster than the Ninth Uncle. When Feng Qingchen was about to hit the wall, he hugged Feng Qingchen and said, "Be careful."
