Chapter 256 Lawless
Sheng Xian bowed to Chu Qingyun, apologized, and then ran away.
This person is also a prince, it is not easy to offend him.
It’s better to run first.
Chu Qingyun looked at Sheng Xian's back as he disappeared on the street. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he was anxious to know what to do.
Lu Xiang returned home with peace of mind only after he sent Qiao Jingru back to the Qiao Mansion.
Mrs. Qiao saw her daughter went out happily, but came back with a pale face. Her heart skipped a beat and she became nervous: "What happened?"
She looked at Lu Xiang and asked.
Lu Xiang said, "When I was leaving the restaurant, I ran into my eldest brother and his mistress..."
Mrs. Qiao understood instantly.
Although my daughter lived at home these days, she seemed to be hollowed out by something. She was obviously in a bad mood but had to put on a smile in front of them.
When I couldn't see Lu Chao, I was just sad alone, but when I saw Lu Chao going out with his mistress, it felt like my heart was being torn out.
Mrs. Qiao was heartbroken but helpless, and felt resentful and hateful towards Lu Chao.
If I had known he was so unreliable, I would never have agreed to let my daughter marry him.
If I had known...
Mrs. Qiao sighed deeply in her heart.
It was too late to say anything now. Besides, they had always been obedient to their daughter and could not bear to make her sad.
Seeing her mother's sad face and her mood being affected by her, Qiao Jingru smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
Mrs. Qiao reached out and touched her face. She wanted to say something but didn't. She just said, "You must be tired from playing. Go back and rest for a while." Then she looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Xiangxiang, go and rest too. Have dinner before going back."
Lu Xiang shook his head and said, "No, Aunt Qiao, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm going back to have dinner with my grandmother. I'm leaving now."
Mrs. Qiao understood: "Well, say hello to the old lady for me."
"Okay." Lu Xiang smiled and replied, "Aunt Qiao, goodbye."
Qiao Jingru waved at her, and then reminded her, "Ask Ah Man to accompany you when you go out. Be careful."
It was not just because he heard about He Zhiyan's danger today, but he also thought of the man who was bumped into by Rong Yin in Chunmanlou. The way he looked at Lu Xiang was so obscene.
And a group of richly dressed young masters were led by him, so Qiao Jingru always felt that they were of some importance.
Sometimes people don't go to cause trouble, but they are afraid of trouble and deliberately try to cause trouble to you.
Lu Xiang understood and smiled, "I know, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you in two days."
In his previous life, Zheng Wenwu also had bad intentions towards her, but at that time he was already engaged to Xiao Muheng, and her father had also gotten close to Prime Minister Liu because Lu Mingzhu was favored by Concubine Shu, so Zheng Wenwu had evil intentions but did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Because she relied on the love of the eldest princess and her status as the emperor's nephew, she often got into trouble. In the end, I heard that she was accidentally killed because she played too much and tried to win favor.
What is even more disgusting is that it was not jealousy between women, but that Zheng Wenwu's male favorite accidentally killed Zheng Wenwu in order to win his favor.
When this incident happened, it instantly became a laughing stock throughout the capital. Except for the eldest princess who cried and wailed over the loss of her son, everyone secretly laughed at Zheng Wenwu and said that he deserved it.
While others play with women, he plays with men.
And he died in such an ugly way.
Although the Lu family did not marry Prime Minister Liu in this life, Lu Xiang had the protection of the Queen, so Zheng Wenwu naturally did not dare to be too presumptuous.
But I dare not let my guard down.
The two of them didn't know that Zheng Wenwu, whom they feared, was being sent back to the princess's mansion in a half-dead state.
Princess Huining threw herself on the bed, crying and cursing. In a rage, she dragged away all the servants who served Zheng Wenwu and beat them to death. This brutal method frightened everyone in the room into silence.
Because the injury was serious, the group of young masters called a doctor when they sent the patient back. Princess Huining then ordered people to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician, but the imperial physician was not very active when he arrived, and the doctor was trembling while taking the patient's pulse.
He could hear Princess Huining's crying and cursing, and he also witnessed the bloody scene of a servant being beaten to death. His face turned pale and he wanted to run away.
What kind of luck do I have today?
I didn't check the almanac before going out.
If the young prince was seriously injured, the princess would have killed herself in anger to vent her anger.
The doctor trembled even more violently at the thought. Fortunately, Princess Huining kept looking at Prince An with sympathy and did not pay attention to the doctor's frightened expression.
After a long while, the doctor trembled and bowed, "In reply to the princess, there is blood clot in the prince's brain, but it is not serious. A rib is broken in his chest, but fortunately it did not penetrate his spleen, so his life is not in danger. The bones of both legs are also broken. I will prescribe a medicine to remove blood and blood clots, and then set the prince's bones."
When Princess Huining heard that her son was so seriously injured, she felt dizzy and her body swayed slightly.
Nanny Duan quickly supported her and said, "Princess, please hold on. Our prince is so pitiful. He still needs you to make the decision."
Princess Huining looked at him with hatred and waved her hand, asking the doctor to prescribe medicine to set her bones.
Then, holding Madam Duan's hand, he stood up, walked to the outer room, looked at the young masters in front of him, and asked:
"Who hurt the prince like this?"
It was hateful that her precious son, who had been pampered and raised in her arms since childhood, was beaten to the point of almost losing his life today.
If she doesn't take revenge, she would be unworthy of being the eldest princess.
One of them said, "To answer the princess' question, the prince was... thrown down from the second floor of Chun Man Tower by the Eighth Prince."
"Eighth Prince?" Princess Huining paused, then her face darkened. "Oh, you are just a prince raised outside, but you dare to hurt my son. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you are a prince?"
When the man heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said nothing.
Princess Huining and her family have only been back from Ningzhou for less than ten days. Have they not yet witnessed the emperor's love for the eighth prince?
Although they had not seen it, the fathers of the young masters present were all officials in the court, and they had been told about the Eighth Prince countless times.
If he really is an insignificant prince, are all the ministers in the court so blind that they cannot see how much the emperor values him?
However, Princess Huining has always been domineering, which is not uncommon in the capital. Moreover, she relies on her contribution to the emperor's ascension to the throne, so she almost walks sideways in the capital. So even if she knows that Chu Jinyan is the legitimate son, she may not take him seriously.
After all, she is still the eighth prince's aunt.
So after the imperial physician arrived at the princess's residence and confirmed that Zheng Wenwu's life was not in danger, everyone saw Princess Huining entering the palace with murderous intent.
"What...what should we do now?" Zhou Huaian said nervously after a while.
He is the eldest son of the Dali Temple's Secretary, and his younger brother married Lu Yao, the second daughter of the Lu family. However, the Lu family had only been in Beijing for half a year, and there was little contact between them, so he had never met Lu Xiang.
"What should we do? Let's leave quickly while the princess is in the palace." said another person.
Everyone nodded in agreement and hurriedly left the princess's mansion.
