1802 Hostages, filial piety for the world to see

The envoy from Nanling was none other than Nanling Jinxing, whom Feng Qingchen had been worried about. As for why Nanling asked the prince to come, it was unknown.

After Nanling Jinxing entered the city, he did not rush into the palace, but came to Feng Mansion first.

"Jinxing, why are you here?" Feng Qingchen received the news and hurried out. As soon as he went out, he saw Nanling Jinxing helping a lady wearing a gauze hat get off the carriage. When he looked closely, he found that the woman was his fiancée Zhan Yan.

"Why did you bring Zhan Yan here?" Feng Qingchen frowned, looking disapproving. You know, Zhan Yan was still in mourning at this time.

"Miss Feng." Zhan Yan was dressed in plain clothes, her eyes full of sorrow. She bowed to Feng Qingchen and stood behind Nanling Jinxing.

"Sister, didn't I tell you that I came to seek refuge with you? You don't mean to reject me, do you?" Nanling Jinxing was cheerful and generous, without a trace of dissatisfaction or depression. If it weren't for the seriousness in his tone, Feng Qingchen would have really suspected that he was joking.

Bringing Zhan Yan to Dongling, does he really not intend to return to Nanling? Is he going to give up his status as a prince and everything in Nanling?

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go inside and talk." Feng Qingchen's intuition told him that Nanling Jinxing must have encountered something.

Nanling Jinxing apologized, "Sister, it's not possible now. I'm in a hurry to go to the palace. I sent Zhan Yan here specially. Sister, please help me take care of Zhan Yan. I will come back after I have dealt with the matter in the palace."

Nanling Jinxing's casual and familiar tone made Feng Qingchen feel no sense of alienation, as if he had returned to the days when they were in Dongling, relying on each other.

Feng Qingchen couldn't refuse Nanling Jinxing, so she told Nanling Jinxing to go ahead and do his job without worry, and she would take good care of Zhan Yan.

Maybe it was because of Mr. Wenyuan’s death, but Zhan Yan was surrounded by an indelible sadness and despair. Feng Qingchen asked a few questions tentatively, but when he saw that Zhan Yan didn’t want to say anything, he stopped forcing her and just asked her to have a good rest.

Nanling Jinxing arrived indeed late. When he entered the palace, Wang Jinling had already spoken and asked the Ninth Prince to hand Nanling Jinfan over to Nanling for disposal. Nanling would definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities.

With the eldest master speaking, Yucheng, Chucheng and Liancheng felt more confident, and the other cities also gave Wang Jinling some face to a certain extent.

The Ninth Prince looked at Wang Jinling with a half-smile. After Wang Jinling finished speaking, he slowly said, "In what capacity do you want to ask me for help, young master?"

The imperial tutor of Dongling? The head of the Wang family? The eldest son among the famous scholars?

"The identity of the head of the Wang family." Apart from this identity, what other identity could make the Ninth Prince make concessions?

"So, the Wang family acknowledges the Nanling royal family's identity?" Uncle Jiu's words were definitely not well-intentioned, but Wang Jinling had to answer: "They are descendants of Nanling, and their names are not on the Wang family's genealogy."

"Oh..." The tone was gorgeous, with a hint of teasing: "Not all the eldest sons of the Wang family are so concerned. The eldest son is really kind and honest, a gentleman, upright and gentle."

The compliments were full of sarcasm and were really unpleasant to hear. If the occasion was not wrong, Wang Jinling would definitely have mocked him back. Anyway, he was not afraid of the Ninth Uncle.

But now?

Wang Jinling could only show his good manners and continue to deal with the Ninth Uncle to save Nanling's face and let the Wang family's side branches see that the Wang family's direct branch attaches great importance to every member of the Wang family and will provide family protection when they need it.

This is the difference between having a family and not having one. If something goes wrong, the family will try their best to protect the person, even if it is just for the sake of the family's reputation.

Wang Jinling was an excellent speaker. Facing the coldness and dominance of the Ninth Prince, Wang Jinling neither got angry nor backed down. He analyzed the pros and cons clearly. After his speech, almost everyone except the Ninth Prince was convinced by Wang Jinling.

"Otherwise, we can hand Nanling Jinfan over to Nanling for disposal. I believe Nanling will definitely not protect Nanling Jinfan."

"The eldest master is fair and upright in his conduct. With the eldest master as a guarantor, I believe Nanling will not let Nanling Jinfan go unpunished."

…

In a short period of time, the situation was turned around, and the Ninth Prince had to praise Wang Jinling's good tactics.

When the eldest son adopted a humble attitude, everyone in the world thought that he had been wronged and were willing to die for him.

This is the charm of the eldest son.

The Ninth Prince raised the corner of his lips and smiled sarcastically. Wang Jinling smiled, gentle as usual, but there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He silently told the Ninth Prince: If the trouble goes on, it will not benefit anyone. The one who has the most headaches is you because Nanling Jinfan died in Dongling.

Do you think I'm afraid? The Ninth Prince also raised his eyebrows. It was not common for Wang Jinling to put down his attitude and beg him.

Of course, the Ninth Prince would not really force Wang Jinling into a corner. Calculating the time, the Ninth Prince finally spoke: "What the eldest son said makes sense. Nanling Jinfan is a descendant of the Nanling royal family. The Nanling Emperor will deal with his mistakes. I am not willing to teach his son a lesson on behalf of the Nanling Emperor.

But the Emperor of Nanling seems to be very indulgent towards this son. Can you guarantee that when Nanling Jinfan arrives in Nanling, the Emperor of Nanling will keep an eye on him and will not let him run away and cause harm to the four countries and nine cities? If the Emperor of Nanling can guarantee that he will keep an eye on Nanling Jinfan and will not let him run away again, and at the same time compensate for the losses of the countries and cities, I will be happy to send him back to Nanling. "

The Ninth Prince is a typical example of someone who takes advantage of others and still acts ungratefully. Not only did he discredit Nanling and use benefits to get everyone to stick together, he also dragged the Wang family into the water and asked Wang Jinling to endorse Nanling.

Wang Jinling would naturally not agree to this promise. Once he made the promise, if Nanling Jinfan really ran away, the Wang family would be responsible for it.

Just when Wang Jinling was about to find a good excuse to refuse, the eunuch's loud voice came from outside the door: "The envoy from Nanling has arrived..."

What? The Nanling envoy is here at this time?

Although it was late, it was still in time. Wang Jinling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Nanling Jinxing, who was wearing a silver-green robe, stepping into the hall with steady steps.

After not seeing him for over a year, Nanling Jinxing seemed to have become more mature and steady. His originally childish face now looked more experienced and resolute.

As soon as Nanling Jinxing came in, he first nodded to apologize to Wang Jinling, then greeted the Ninth Prince and the envoys. He subtly explained the reason for his late arrival, said a few words of apology, and at the same time showed Nanling's attitude.

Nanling Jinfan is guilty and can only be punished by Nanling. No country or individual can punish the prince of Nanling. When necessary, Nanling will not hesitate to use force, and will not allow anyone to trample on Nanling's dignity.

Nanling Jinxing's attitude was tough and he would not tolerate any negotiation. This behavior made everyone feel quite favorable towards him.

Nanling is at least responsible. If he doesn't dare to stand up when his son is being executed, then Nanling is really a coward to the extreme.

"No country or individual can deal with the prince of Nanling?" The Ninth Prince spoke, repeating this sentence slowly and lowly. Nanling Jinxing nodded: "That's right, the prince of Nanling can only be dealt with by Nanling. Nanling will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Really?" The Ninth Prince clearly didn't believe it: "What guarantee do you have that Nanling's treatment of Nanling Jinfan will satisfy me?"

"I!"

The word "I" was very powerful. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Nanling Jinxing added: "I guarantee it with myself!"
