Chapter 44 She came to the palace to rob!
After hearing her say this, Princess Rong'an's expression eased a little.
His eyes first swept over the father and son of Pingyang Marquis, then revealed a bit of viciousness, and fell on Jiang's smug face, and a sneer appeared between his teeth.
"It just so happens that the Marquis and the Crown Prince are here today. Let them watch this pair of bitches strip naked and ride on a wild man! When that actor rips off their bellybands, I will make sure the Marquis of Pingyang twists the necks of these whores with his own hands, and bleed them all out!"
Murong Yan'er curled her lips and smiled slightly, also looking forward to this scene.
She took great pains to set up a trap and lure Jiang and Murong Qing to the palace, not just to get the Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin back.
Her real purpose was to use Princess Ruyang to completely remove Murong Qing from her position as Crown Prince's Consort, turning Jiang into an abandoned woman overnight.
Let them both be cursed and never be able to turn things around!
In this way, she could become the mistress of Pingyang Marquis Mansion smoothly, and no one would get in her way or block her way.
"Then I'll trouble you with the next matter, Princess."
"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements!"
Princess Rong'an said this and walked to Princess Ruyang and whispered a few words to her.
Princess Ruyang restrained her expression slightly and spoke to everyone.
"It's a rare opportunity to have such a good time today. The palace has prepared a banquet. You may enjoy dinner before leaving. You can also take this opportunity to learn more from the Marquis' wife."
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
"That's great!"
"The princess is really thoughtful!"
"Madam, you brought so many musical instruments here today. You must be proficient in all of them. Could you play a few for us?"
"Yeah, yeah...I want to hear Xiao!"
"I want to listen to the pipa!"
"Master, you are the best. You will definitely satisfy us, right?!"
…
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Looking at the pairs of watery eyes in front of her, a group of people surrounded her and chattered, like little birds crying for food in a bird's nest.
Even if Jiang Wanning wanted to leave, he couldn't move an inch.
And looking at Princess Ruyang's attitude, she might have another trick up her sleeve. If she refuses to stay for the feast, she will definitely not hand over the medical book easily.
After thinking about it, Jiang Wanning replied.
"That depends on what the princess wants! We've only had two rounds of competition, and I'm afraid the princess won't be willing to give me all five treasures, but I like them all very much. If I make up the remaining three songs——"
Princess Ruyang pinched her sleeves with her five fingers, how could she not understand the meaning behind Jiang's words.
She spent a lot of money to set up this competition.
I had no intention of letting Jiang win the prize.
Unexpectedly, there was no one present who could fight, and Jiang was still so greedy that she shamelessly asked her for money!
But she had to give it to him in front of everyone. It was really infuriating!
However, thinking that Jiang's pride would not last long, Princess Ruyang did not bargain with her. She pretended to be generous and smiled as she ordered someone to deliver the things.
"Since these five treasures are prizes, they naturally belong to Madam."
"Then I won't be polite!"
Jiang Wanning rubbed his hands happily and without any hesitation, he immediately ordered Nanny Lin, "Pack all these up and put them in the carriage, in case the princess regrets it and doesn't want to give them to me later."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Nanny Lin also had a very happy expression on her face. Without even saying thank you, she took the treasures one by one from the maid's hands and put them into her arms.
As if he was worried that Princess Ruyang would go back on her word, he hurried out.
It's like robbing the palace!
Princess Ruyang: "..."
She endured it!
"Oh, right," Jiang Wanning seemed to have thought of something and instructed Xing'er, "And move Yan'er's zither with us."
"I understand!"
Xing'er's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly walked to Murong Yan'er, extending her hand and saying, "Third Miss, please bring the zither over!"
Murong Heng was the first to disagree and jumped out to oppose.
"Why? Didn't the princess just say that the first game was a draw?"
Xing'er was smart and immediately retorted.
"But the Third Miss did lose to Madam, didn't she? Or is it that the Third Miss thinks her piano skills are better than Madam's and wants to play another game?"
Murong Yan'er's face froze, and she stopped Murong Heng who was about to argue.
"Forget it, second brother, just give it to her."
Anyway, she will soon be the Crown Prince's Consort of the Marquis' Mansion. All the things that Jiang snatched from the Prince's Mansion today will be hers by then.
Let her be arrogant for a while.
Murong Heng didn't have as much patience as her. In a fit of rage, he threw the piano to the ground. Even if it broke into pieces, he didn't want to see Jiang's smug face!
"You didn't hold the piano firmly, and it broke... Take it back and fix it yourselves!"
"Bah, no! Who cares about a broken piano?"
Xing'er was also a person with a bad temper. She stepped hard on the piano, spat, and walked away. Murong Heng's face suddenly became even darker.
"you……"
How outrageous! How dare a little girl step on his face? He must teach her a lesson today!
…
After three rounds of wine, the banquet was half over.
Everyone was a little tipsy, not knowing whether they were intoxicated by the delicious food and wine, or by the marquis's wonderful musical skills. They all praised Jiang Wanning to the sky!
Shen Yutang had never felt so proud. In the past, he had always been reluctant to mention his mother to others, thinking that his mother's rudeness and arrogance would only bring shame to him. But now, he wanted everyone in the world to know that he had such a powerful mother.
"Qingqing, I'm so happy today... Please drink some water with me."
Holding Murong Qing's hand, Shen Yutang's cheeks flushed, his excitement was beyond words, and he felt that his life couldn't be more perfect at this point.
His father was a great military hero, his mother had amazing skills, and his wife was gentle and virtuous and was pregnant. God had treated him very well.
Although Murong Qing was not as exaggerated as him, he was also happy in his heart.
So I drank a few drinks with him.
On the side, only Chen Yan remained calm, as if he had already expected Jiang Wanning to make a big splash. There was not much surprise in his eyes, only tenderness.
Jiang Wanning had just finished dealing with the toasts from his "disciples" when he turned around and met Chen Yan's gaze.
She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, but the way Chen Yan looked at her today was gentler and more passionate than usual.
Jiang Wanning couldn't stand his affectionate look even towards the dog.
He couldn't help but look away and turned around to talk to Murong Qing.
"Qingqing, um..."
When he turned around, he saw that Murong Qing was not there.
Jiang Wanning frowned slightly and asked Shen Yutang.
"Where's Qingqing?"
Shen Yutang said, "She went to change clothes."
"How long have you been gone?"
"It seems like it's been a while. He should be back soon."
Jiang Wanning frowned, feeling that something was amiss. He put down his cup and stood up from his seat, "I'll go check it out."
Although everyone took turns toasting her during the meal, she didn't drink too much. On the surface, she seemed a little drunk, but in fact, most of the wine was poured on the ground by her.
Princess Ruyang wanted to take the opportunity to get her drunk, but she was not that stupid.
Unfortunately, I was distracted for a moment and someone took advantage of me.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Wanning slapped Shen Yutang on the head and ordered, "Stop drinking. You can't even take care of your wife, what's the point of having you!"
Shen Yutang nodded and agreed: "Mother is right!"
Jiang Wanning: “…”
Forget it, I’ll deal with him when I get back!
…
After leaving the banquet, Jiang Wanning went all the way to look for Murong Qing, feeling somewhat worried that something might have happened to him.
Sure enough, we were only halfway there.
Then Murong Qing's frightened and angry shouts were heard from the attic.
"You bold lunatic... You, you don't come over here! Ah——"
