887 Getting rid of the old, the cruelty beneath the gentleness of jade

The two talked all the way and time passed quickly. Feng Qingchen even forgot to ask the Ninth Prince where he was taking her to watch the show. It was not until the carriage stopped that Feng Qingchen brought up the matter.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Don't you think it's too late to ask now?" The Ninth Prince said the same thing without changing it. He patted Feng Qingchen's little head and motioned her to get out of the car.

Feng Qingchen was playing tricks, lying on the Ninth Uncle's legs and refusing to move: "If you don't tell me, I won't get up."

"If you like, just lie down. We'll be safe in the carriage. There are guards everywhere outside." The Ninth Prince stretched out his legs and cooperated very well, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him.

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were huddled in a carriage. Even if no sound was made, it was enough to make people imagine. Feng Qingchen had always known what the Ninth Prince said, but only today did he realize how bad the Ninth Prince was.

This man is so evil.

Feng Qingchen refused to admit that he was no match for the Ninth Uncle, and stood up angrily: "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Anyway, we are here."

Feng Qingchen turned around and punched the Ninth Prince hard on the calf, then quickly jumped off the carriage and met the guard's gaze. The guard's ears turned red and he lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at Feng Qingchen.

What's wrong?

Feng Qingchen looked confused, and then he thought of checking his outfit, and found that the clothes on his chest were wrinkled, and that...

Feng Qingchen's face turned red instantly, and she quickly turned around and tidied her clothes with her back to everyone.

So embarrassing!

The noble daughter's reputation was completely lost to the Ninth Prince.

"I wanted to remind you, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly." The Ninth Prince walked out of the carriage, the folds on his clothes had already been smoothed out, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Being with Feng Qingchen makes me happy even when we quarrel. This year is finally interesting.

"It's hindsight." Feng Qingchen glared at the Ninth Uncle.

If the Ninth Prince had not taken up most of the seats, she would not have had to lie on him and mess up her clothes because she had no place to sit.

"Your Highness is too impatient with your temper. You need to change it." The Ninth Prince got off the carriage, pulled Feng Qingchen in front of him, and stretched out his hands to straighten Feng Qingchen's clothes and hair. At the same time, he glanced coldly at the guards around him, scaring everyone so much that they dared not look up. Only then was he satisfied.

The driver was closest to the Ninth Prince and was affected the most. He could only try to shrink himself and reduce his presence, but he was wailing in his heart: Oh my God, what did I see? Is this the Ninth Prince? How could their high and mighty Ninth Prince become a good family man?

The Ninth Prince helped Feng Qingchen tidy up her clothes, then naturally took Feng Qingchen's hand, signaling the guards not to follow him, and led Feng Qingchen through the night with familiarity.

Feng Qingchen knew that the Ninth Prince would definitely not tell her, and she was too lazy to ask. She just followed behind obediently. Anyway, the Ninth Prince would not sell her out.

"arrive."

The Ninth Prince stopped in the dark alley. Feng Qingchen didn't see any excitement around him. When he was about to speak, he felt a tightening around his waist, and the next second he was flying up.

Fortunately, Feng Qingchen was cautious enough to know that she must not make any sound at this time so as not to be discovered. She quickly stretched out her hands to cover her mouth. This lovely action touched the heart of the Ninth Prince, and he leaned over and kissed her on the face.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you."

"No way. It's scary when you're here. You won't let anything happen to me, but if something happens to you, you won't let me go." When Feng Qingchen heard the Ninth Prince's words, she knew that the matter was not that serious, and she whispered in the Ninth Prince's ear.

"Then you should learn to be smart. If something happens to me, run away quickly. I will not be able to catch up with you."

"Don't worry, if anything happens to you, I will be the first one to run away."

…

The Ninth Prince took Feng Qingchen and jumped back and forth on the roof. Their footsteps were so light that no sound was made. The sound of their conversations also dissipated with the wind.

After a few rises and falls, the two of them stopped on the glazed tile roof. The Ninth Prince signaled Feng Qingchen to keep quiet and lie down with him.

Feng Qingchen nodded, and like a soldier on the battlefield, he supported himself on the roof with one hand, so that if anything happened, he could move at the first moment.

The Ninth Prince discovered that Feng Qingchen's posture was both offensive and defensive. He lay there like a leopard ready to pounce. With a slight movement, he assumed the same posture as Feng Qingchen.

The two men performed this series of actions silently. There was no other way. You know, they were lying on the roof of the Wang family compound. Although Wang Jinling had prepared for them in advance, it would be troublesome if they were discovered by the Wang family.

In the Wang Family Courtyard, the Wang Family clan was gathering here for a New Year's Eve banquet. In previous years, the New Year's Eve banquet was hosted by the head of the family, and the direct line of power gathered together. It was not only a meal but also a summary of the affairs of the year. Although there was occasional tension, it was still very lively. However, this year was different...

Up to this point, the Wang family's New Year's Eve banquet had not yet begun. The table was filled with dishes, but no one had picked up their chopsticks. The direct descendants of the Wang family gathered in the hall were all full of hostility, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

No one spoke. Everyone in the Wang family looked at the old men sitting in the first seats, waiting for them to speak.

Ren, Zhi and Shan, the three elders of the Wang family, had been severely suppressed by Wang Jinling before, and all their power had been stripped away. If it weren't for the clan elders' pleading, these three elders would have been expelled from the Wang family long ago, but now they have occupied the main position.

There is no way. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will become the king. Wang Jinling is missing, and these three elders are invited out by someone with ulterior motives.

The top members of the Wang family are all related, so no one dares to do anything too embarrassing. Besides, the prestige of the three elders in the Wang family over the years is no less than that of Wang Jinling, who has just taken the position of the head of the family. As long as they and their descendants do not die out, it is normal for them to stand at the center of power in the Wang family again.

The three elders appeared here at this time to propose the dethronement of the head of the family.

"As the head of the Wang family, the eldest son has no sense of responsibility or family honor. First, he rejected the marriage for personal desires, bringing shame to our Wang family. Now, for personal reasons, he has abandoned the entire Wang family. He has no respect for the elders of the family. It's as if our entire clan is waiting for him. The eldest son is so presumptuous, which shows that he doesn't care about the Wang family at all."

"Elder Shan is right. A person who has forgotten his family is not worthy of the important task of being the head of the family." As soon as Elder Zhi finished speaking, Elder Ren echoed: "The eldest son had a grudge with Xuanxiao Palace for personal revenge some time ago, but ended up losing his troops. A head of the family who does not put the interests of the family first is not the head of the family that our Wang family wants."

When the three elders said this, many people agreed with them. But this does not mean that everyone in the Wang family wants to depose Wang Jinling. There is still a small group of people among them who are loyal to Wang Jinling and always believe that only Wang Jinling is qualified to sit on the throne of the family, such as Wang Jinling's father.

"Jinling is not an ignorant child. Jinling's talents are obvious to all. Over the past six months, the Wang family has become increasingly stable under Jinling's hands. I believe that Jinling must have gone out before the New Year's Eve banquet because of the Wang family's affairs. Jinling is a child who respects his elders and is responsible. He will definitely arrive before the New Year." Wang Jinling's father said with great certainty.

"That's right, the eldest son's talent is obvious to all. The Wang family has been suppressed by the emperor and other aristocratic families in the past few years. It was not until the eldest son took over that the situation of the Wang family improved." Those who supported Wang Jinling were all the new generation of people in power, that is, Wang Jinling's uncles and uncles. Occasionally, a few white-haired old men, that is, the generation of grandfather and great-grandfather, also spoke up to support Wang Jinling.

"Wang Shan, Wang Ren, Wang Zhi, you are no longer the great elders of the Wang family. What qualifications do you have to criticize the head of the family here? You say that the head of the family is not good, but what about you? With what you have done, you are not worthy of entering the ancestral home of the Wang family. The head of the family has shown kindness by not expelling you from the Wang family. You are ungrateful and are actually slandering the head of the family here." An old man of the same generation as Wang Jinling's great-grandfather spoke.

“What do you mean by slander? If the eldest young master hadn’t done something wrong himself, what can we say about him? Everyone has seen what the eldest young master has done during this period. We all know that the emperor has been suppressing our Wang family, but the eldest young master is so close to the ninth uncle. The eldest young master wants to kill our Wang family. I will never allow such a confused person like the eldest young master to be the head of the family.” Elder Shan hated Wang Jinling to death and was not willing to give in.

"What do you mean by 'not clear'? Do you have brains? The emperor clearly wants to step on our Wang family. If we continue to flatter him, we will become the second Xie family and let the emperor manipulate us. By then, we may not even be able to keep our ancestral property. The eldest son's move is very clever."

"What's so wonderful about this? It's totally brainless. Your move will drag down the entire Wang family. I absolutely don't agree with it."

After a bloodbath, Wang Jinling had many supporters in the Wang family. After the three elders were driven out, no one dared to disobey Wang Jinling. But with Wang Jinling's disappearance, those unsteady supporters wavered. In addition, the one who wanted to be the head of the family this time was Wang Jinling's uncle, the Wang family member with the highest official position in the court.

As a result, except for those die-hard fans, most people turned to Wang Jinling's uncle. In this battle, Wang Jinling's people were quickly at a disadvantage.

Under the fierce attack of Wang Jinling's uncle, the diehard supporters headed by Wang Jinling's father were almost unable to hold on. When Wang Jinling's uncle said that they would be expelled from the Wang family, this group of people changed their faces. However, the situation was hopeless and they were surrounded by the servants of the Wang family.

Wang Jinling's uncle was full of energy and became even more arrogant as he was surrounded by people. "Brother, Jinling is too young. He can't bear the heavy responsibility of being the head of the Wang family. I am not talented enough. For the sake of the Wang family, I have no choice but to sacrifice myself. What are you guys still standing there for? Get these troublemakers out now."

Wang Jinling's uncle had already made arrangements. He was going to use violent means to throw Wang Jinling's father and others out of the Wang family...
