Chapter 64 Must Meet the Second Prince



The carriage of Duke Qing's mansion drove straight into the mansion, and Sheng Qishan got off the car quickly and neatly.

Sheng Mingcheng's face was covered with tears. He stumbled out of the carriage and almost rolled to the ground.

When the servants in the mansion saw this scene, they thought that their husband was being scolded by the Duke again, and they lowered their heads and dared not look anymore.

"Cheng'er, come with grandpa!"

Sheng Qishan went straight to the study, dismissed all the servants, and called Sheng Mingcheng over.

"Repeat here what Grandfather just told you in the carriage."

Sheng Mingcheng's eyes were red, and he repeated in a crying voice: "After you get the list, be sure to keep it properly..."

While listening, Sheng Qishan walked to the deepest part of the study and twisted an inconspicuous vase on the shelf.

Click——click——

The sound of a mechanism turning was heard, and the next moment, a secret compartment appeared on the wall in front of Sheng Qishan.

He carefully took out the envelope and handed it to Sheng Mingcheng with great care.

"Remember, this is your and Ran'er's life-saving talisman, you must not throw it away!"

"Ran'er is infatuated with the Second Prince, and I'm afraid she will be deceived. Grandpa has thought about it and decided that the remaining one-third of the list is still in your hands."

"As long as the Second Prince treats Ran'er well, you can reveal it slowly."

When Sheng Mingcheng heard Sheng Qishan's tone, which sounded like he was giving instructions for his final wishes, he burst into tears again.

"Grandpa, this is all my grandson's fault. Go ahead and hit me! Hit me, kick me, or scold me!"

Sheng Qishan waved his hands exhaustedly, "Back then, I was busy trying to win favors in the court, and I neglected your father, and I still didn't learn from his lesson and teach you well."

"The responsibility for the demise of the Duke of Qing's Mansion will eventually fall on me."

Sheng Mingcheng fell to his knees in front of Sheng Qishan with a thud, feeling extremely regretful, but he couldn't go back to the way he was before.

"Don't make it public, don't tell anyone, take enough banknotes, take Ran'er out of the house and hide, you must see the Second Prince!"

Sheng Qishan firmly believed that Emperor Yong would definitely love the Second Prince. If the Second Prince pleaded for mercy, the bloodline of his Duke Qing's Mansion would definitely be preserved!

"Let's go."

Sheng Qishan waved to Sheng Mingcheng.

"grandfather!"

Sheng Mingcheng fell to the ground, clutching Sheng Qishan's shoes tightly, and cried loudly.

"Grandpa, how could it become like this!"

Sheng Qishan's face darkened, "Hurry up! Tan Hanchi has arrived at the Golden Throne Hall. It won't be long before someone from the palace comes. Then you and Ran'er won't be able to leave!"

“Go!”

Sheng Qishan kicked Sheng Mingcheng's shoulder hard, then walked to the desk resolutely and ground the ink himself.

He wanted to write a letter of apology, stating his sins and recalling the past, hoping that the emperor would have even a little bit of sympathy.

This way, the second prince's subsequent appeal will have a greater chance of success...

"grandfather!"

Sheng Mingcheng kowtowed several times. Seeing that Sheng Qishan no longer looked at him, he wiped away his tears, held the envelope tightly to his chest, and hurried out of the study.

In Chunxiu Courtyard, Sheng Xiuran was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

A few days ago, when she heard that the emperor had personally asked Xu Menggusue to enter the palace to attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, she was almost going crazy!

In order to outdo Meng Guxue at the palace banquet, she has been working harder in writing poetry and practicing calligraphy these days.

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open roughly, and Sheng Xiuran was so frightened that the words he wrote were out of place.

"Which bastard has no eyes? Can't you see that I am practicing calligraphy?"

Sheng Xiuran shouted angrily, but when she looked up, she saw Sheng Mingcheng with red eyes and sweat on his forehead.

She suddenly turned pale, "Brother, what happened to you? Were you beaten by grandpa again?"

"Alas, I have advised you a long time ago, just be obedient and don't go out to mess around with other girls, Grandpa will arrange a good marriage for you."

Sheng Xiuran was chattering when Sheng Mingcheng suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Sister, come with me!"

Sheng Mingcheng used a lot of strength in his hands, and you could see traces of tears on his face, which really scared Sheng Xiuran.

"Brother, you...you pinched me and hurt me, what happened?"

Sheng Mingcheng took a breath and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, you must come with me now. This is what Grandpa wants."

Sheng Xiuran felt puzzled. "Leave? Where to? I don't want to go anywhere today. Brother, you know that Meng Guxue——"

"Sister! Our Duke Qing's Mansion is finished! The whole family will be executed soon! If you don't come with me, you will die here!"

When Sheng Mingcheng heard that Sheng Xiuran was still worried about this kind of girl's jealousy, he could no longer hold back and roared out loud.

You know, this chance to survive was planned for them by grandpa at all costs!

"Wha...what?"

Sheng Xiuran stood there in a daze for a moment, her face slowly turned pale, and then she laughed out loud.

"Brother, what are you kidding? What do you mean by killing the whole family? If you say something like that, I'll break your legs!"

Sheng Mingcheng was very anxious. He had just sent the maids away, and now was the best time to leave quietly.

"Sister, I didn't lie to you. Grandpa cheated in the Spring Examination and the sale of rankings has been exposed! Someone from the palace will be coming soon. If we don't leave now, we will all die!"

Sheng Xiuran's whole body shook violently, and this time he was completely bloodless.

"No... Impossible, brother, you are lying..."

Seeing that Sheng Xiuran was taking so long to react, Sheng Mingcheng simply pulled her out.

"Sister, from now on, you must obey me in everything. I will do my best to send you to the Second Prince."

Sheng Mingcheng understood his sister well. She was obsessed with the Second Prince. If he said so, she would definitely follow him obediently.

Sure enough, Sheng Xiuran, who looked dazed, finally mustered up some strength after hearing this, and murmured, "Let's go and ask the Second Prince to save the Duke of Qing's Mansion."

"He saved me before, even though we were not related to each other. He is so kind, he will definitely not stand idly by."

Sheng Mingcheng pulled Sheng Xiuran out of Chunxiuyuan. The servants on the road saw that they looked panicked. Although they were curious and frightened, no one dared to step forward and ask a question.

Sheng Mingcheng took Sheng Xiuran out of the Duke Qing's Mansion through the west gate.

Standing in the alley behind the Duke's Mansion, Sheng Xiuran was still confused and just asked blankly:

"Brother, where are we going now? Are we going to find the Second Prince?"

Sheng Mingcheng touched his bulging chest, trying to draw courage from that crucial list.

He was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He lowered his head and saw two shining swords placed on his and his sister's necks.

When Sheng Xiuran saw this, she opened her mouth in horror. But before she could scream, the person behind her hit her on the back of the neck with a palm, and she fainted.

Sheng Mingcheng looked up with trembling hands, and saw that the man was wearing night clothes, and even his face was covered tightly, leaving only space for his eyes and nostrils.
