The Crown Prince rarely spoke such a long sentence. After finishing his sentence, he nodded meaningfully, and with a flash, he silently left the carriage.
As for Xie Danling, after a long while, he opened his eyes wide, rubbed his ears, and then rubbed his ears again.
He didn't mishear, did he?
It was the Crown Prince who appeared before him in person and told him that his sister, that vicious woman, was sleeping soundly in the Crown Prince's residence.
Xie Lingqin Danling pondered these words for a moment.
His entire expression changed.
It's like someone suddenly telling him that his older sister, Xie Lingqin, is kind-hearted, gentle, and delicate.
It exploded in his mind like a flower blooming.
"Let's go back to the manor."
After a long while, Xie Danling, with a furrowed brow, gave instructions to the coachman.
"Young master, are you no longer looking for peach slices?"
"Suddenly I don't feel like eating anymore, let's go home."
"yes."
The carriage then headed towards the general's residence.
Even after returning to the General's Mansion, Xie Danling still hadn't come to her senses.
"Looking so lost and disoriented, what's wrong? Have you really become addicted to going to brothels?"
Suddenly, a sharp shout came from ahead.
Xie Danling looked up and was met with General Xie's furious face not far away.
"Father... Father."
"You still have the nerve to call me father? If I hadn't heard it from others, I really wouldn't believe it. You're not only useless, but so utterly useless. You've completely disgraced my General's Mansion."
General Xie walked over from the flowerbed beside him.
"Father……"
“I didn’t scold you for going to the arena with people before, but now you’ve gone to a brothel. Xie Danling, do you really think I wouldn’t dare break your legs?”
"Father, I..."
Xie Danling seemed to want to explain, but her lips moved and she swallowed her words.
"What else do you want to say? Before, because of you, my aunt lost her baby and is still recovering. Now you make the same mistake again and again, and you show no improvement. Tell me, tell me, what use is it for me to raise you? Sooner or later, you will ruin the reputation of my General's Mansion."
"Father only cares about the reputation of the General's Mansion. Now that our eldest sister has gained the Emperor's favor, what else is there for me to do?"
Xie Danling was so provoked that she retorted.
"Insolence!" General Xie was also furious, shouting, "What use is your elder sister, Xie Lingqin? You really live too pampered a life, you know nothing! Guards..."
General Xie was so angry that his fingers trembled. He then waved his hand behind him and said, "Take the young master to the ancestral hall and make him kneel down. He shall not rise without my order."
"yes."
At that moment, someone stepped forward and walked towards Xie Danling.
Seeing General Xie's furious expression, Xie Dan dared not utter another word. He clenched his fingers in anger and turned his face away, saying, "Fine, I'll go then."
Only after Xie Danling was led away did General Xie sigh, put his hands behind his back, and put his face down with a solemn and gloomy expression.
"General, don't worry. The young master is still young, but he will improve one day."
"As for his progress, I don't think he'll ever make any progress in his life. It's really true that the Emperor values Xie Lingqin. Putting aside the Emperor's intentions, even if Xie Lingqin does make progress, she's still not a member of our General's Mansion. With her around, she'll drag our General's Mansion down one day."
"Perhaps, the young lady really will be able to uphold the reputation of the General's Mansion."
"Hmph." General Xie sneered, his eyes filled with deep thoughts. After a long while, he turned his head to look behind him, "Any news about the person I asked you to find?"
Upon hearing this, the guard behind him stepped forward, looking frustrated. "Reporting to the general, there is no news for the time being. Back then, after that woman jumped into the lake with her child, she became mentally unstable. The child was so young... But, general, rest assured, your subordinate will do everything in his power to find her."
General Xie looked at the horizon with a solemn expression. "We must find it with all our might."
"yes."
"Then, General, regarding the young lady's investigation, would you like me to lend a hand, or..."
"Need not."
General Xie waved his hand dismissively, "No need to interfere. Whether she lives or dies, it's her own path to walk. It's none of anyone else's business."
The guard was puzzled by General Xie's resolute demeanor. In the past, General Xie might have disliked the young lady, but he would have at least tried to hide it. Now, it seemed that the general was truly growing to dislike the young lady more and more.
There's no need to hide it anymore.
