Chapter 39 Moral Blackmail
The eldest princess was supported by her nanny and forced herself to calm down.
Yes, if she had really been deceived for so many years, then this matter could not just be let go in such a muddle.
The eldest princess took a deep breath, and looked up to see the ladies and rich girls in the hall with burning eyes.
She never expected that this grand coming-of-age ceremony for her daughter would turn into a scene where everyone came to laugh at her.
"Ladies and ladies, I have some urgent household matters to deal with at home. I am sorry for not hosting you well. I will stop here today. I am sorry, I will not see you off one by one.
We will host a banquet at the Japanese Palace to entertain you all as a token of apology. ”
We all know that this is a family disgrace that should not be made public, so I have ordered you to leave.
All the ladies and young ladies here are smart.
In fact, they should have left at the beginning, but the melon was so big that they were reluctant to leave!
Now that they were ordered to leave, they all pretended nothing had happened, stood up and said goodbye with polite smiles on their faces.
Because so many people left at once, the crowd that had entered the princess's palace in an orderly manner according to their ranks became a mess when they left.
A group of ladies were waiting for their own carriages in front of the princess's mansion in a chaotic manner.
But the eldest princess, who attached great importance to rules, could not care about these things at this time.
At this moment she was standing in the hall, her hands shaking a little.
Wen Ling felt that she had already reminded everyone to this point, and there would be nothing for her to do from now on, so she followed the Marquis' wife and prepared to leave.
After the princess has investigated the whole thing and has recovered, she will probably be grateful to her.
She will come back to ask the princess to borrow the magic weapon when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to walk out the door with the Marquis’ wife, the eldest princess called her back, “Princess Chen, please stay.”
Wen Ling stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
The eldest princess' attitude towards Wen Ling was no longer as strong as before.
She opened her mouth several times, seeming to hesitate and even a little embarrassed.
She continued, "Princess Chen, you are so confident in saying this today, you must know the inside story. Please don't leave yet, accompany us to Chunyu Lane."
She paused and said, "No, I...I may still need your help."
The eldest princess is not stupid. How could she be a fool when she was able to secure opportunities for her royal brother to show up, and finally accompanied her royal brother and assisted him to ascend the throne?
She sensed something was amiss when both Chen Gongfu and Huang Liang spoke the truth uncontrollably.
It is impossible that these two people were poisoned. They were called here suddenly and there were no conditions for poisoning.
The only possibility is that this Princess Chen is really capable.
The Marquis's wife was not talking nonsense. The Gao Yueyuan before might really have been brought back by Princess Chen. Princess Chen might really have extraordinary abilities in some aspects.
That's why she now decisively asked Wen Ling for help.
As long as the truth can be revealed, it doesn't matter if Princess Chen laughs at or ridicules her.
Wen Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at the princess: "Do you believe me now?"
The princess smiled bitterly and said, "The facts are before my eyes. I can't help but believe it.
My previous attitude towards you was too presumptuous. If you can really help me get to the bottom of it this time, you can ask for any reward as a thank you. ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll stay then."
Wen Ling agreed immediately. In fact, she was waiting for the princess to say this.
The princess took her husband and the yellow grain, and led a large group of people to Chunyu Lane.
She wanted to call Lanxiang out, confront her, and get to the bottom of things.
Gu Guilan rushed over at this time, pulled the eldest princess's leg and said, "Mother, father may have made a mistake, but if you rush over with people to arrest him now, our family will really become a joke tomorrow!"
"And you were so tough and didn't give father any face. You broke his heart. Do you really not plan to have a family again?"
"Dad has respected and loved you for the past ten years and has given so much. Don't you really feel anything?"
"Do you really want to make things so irreversible today that our family will be torn apart?!"
Gu Guilan burst into tears at the end of her speech and started crying while hugging the eldest princess' legs.
She wiped her tears and said, "Mother doesn't care if father has someone else outside. Just let father send the person away.
Gui Lan doesn't want this family to be broken up, doesn't want to lose this family, Gui Lan just wants this family to be well, just like before! ”
The eldest princess had truly loved her daughter for sixteen years, and hearing her daughter's words at this moment, her heart was broken.
She felt a little soft-hearted. She had made up her mind, but now she was a little hesitant.
Yes, was the sixteen-year relationship all fake? It's all acting, is there really not a trace of truth in it?
Is she really willing to give it all up now?
Just as the princess began to waver, Wen Ling's puzzled voice came from the side: "Princess Anle, what you said is unreasonable.
The person who did the wrong thing and broke up this family is obviously your father. Instead of blaming and questioning your father, why are you morally blackmailing your mother here?
Don’t you feel sorry for your mother at all for having been deceived for so many years? Don't you want justice for your mother? ”
Just these two sentences gave the eldest princess an instant epiphany.
She asked why, besides feeling heartbroken, she also felt so uncomfortable and suffocated.
It turned out that her daughter’s crying and begging her were not for her own good, not for the good of her family, but all for her father!
Gu Guilan shook her head repeatedly. She pointed at Wen Ling and scolded, "That's not what I meant at all. I just don't want my parents to quarrel.
You bad woman, bitch! You are just unlucky yourself, and you can't stand others doing better than you, so you stir up trouble!
you……"
“That’s enough!”
Gu Guilan wanted to curse again but was stopped by the eldest princess.
The princess looked at Gu Guilan, her eyes filled with pain. "So, Lanlan, do you think that I should endure it? Your father has had a hard time. If I go looking for trouble with Lanxiang at this time, I would be too strong and unreasonable, right?"
"Mom, that's not what I meant. Of course I feel sorry for you. Everything I said was for the sake of our family!" Gu Guilan explained hurriedly.
If Wen Ling's words had not awakened the princess, she would have thought that her daughter was reluctant to see the family in conflict.
And now, she feels heartbroken when she sees that her daughter has not stood on her side and said that it is her father who has a problem.
The eldest princess closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she pulled back her legs that were being held by her daughter.
She led the group out: "Let's go to Chunyu Lane!"
