Chapter 128: Continue to Despair
Qin Muyan nodded and said, "Yes, it's Shen Linchuan and his sister.
That day, Shen Linzhou took the old lady's body and the seriously injured Shen Linchuan out of the city and planned to return to Qingzhou, but he was stopped by Wen Ruqing unexpectedly.
She settled him in a villa in Xishan and hired the best doctor for Shen Linchuan.
Shen Linzhou took his mother's coffin back to Qingzhou for burial.
Wen Ruqing secretly rescued Shen Linchuan obviously because of Miss Song, so I sent people to guard the villa.
Guess what, an unexpected guest came to the house last night to meet Shen Linchuan."
Qin Muyan glanced at Xiao Jingheng and said confidently: "You will never guess who that person is?"
Xiao Jingheng said in a faint voice: "It's the prince!"
Qin Muyan's expression froze, and he looked at him with a frown: "How do you know everything?"
If he didn't know it was impossible, he would have suspected whether Xiao Jingheng had a pair of clairvoyant eyes and ears that could see and hear everything in all directions.
Xiao Jingheng said: "Because I suspect that Shen Linchuan's father is likely to know the truth about the Huo family's rebellion.
If he had been involved, he would have left something for his family.
This thing is of vital importance. Shen Linchuan would not take it out to save his life unless he is at the end of his rope.
Since he did not choose me, then it must be the Crown Prince.
Since Shen Linchuan chose the prince, it means that what he has in his hands is not good for the prince.
Only in this way can he get what he wants from the prince."
Qin Muyan looked at Xiao Jingheng, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he was like a cunning and treacherous fox.
He snorted and said, "I was wondering why you became so kind. I thought you had changed your temper, but it turns out you had planned this all along."
Based on his understanding of Xiao Jingheng, it is impossible for him to save Shen Linchuan's life.
But in the end, Shen Linchuan was only beaten with fifty sticks.
It turns out that Xiao Jingheng had other plans.
He asked: "What should we do now? What if Shen Linchuan hooks up with the prince and destroys that thing?"
Xiao Jingheng was not worried, he said: "Shen Linchuan is not that stupid, keeping that thing is equivalent to holding the handle of the prince.
Now I can be sure that the Huo family was framed by the Sun family.
What Shen Linchuan has in his hand may be the evidence that can clear the Huo family of grievances."
Qin Muyan nodded and said, "But Shen Linchuan chose the prince. If you let them collude with each other, wouldn't it be disadvantageous to you?"
"So, we have to let Shen Linchuan continue to despair."
Xiao Jingheng curled his lips and said, "Don't alert the snakes, just keep an eye on their every move in secret."
As he said this, he put down the cup in his hand, stood up and said, "Qingqing must be waiting anxiously, I'll leave first."
Qin Muyan: "..."
He was so angry that he stood up and stretched out his hand to stop the man and said, "You can't leave unless you promise me that His Majesty will give up the idea of selecting a prince consort for Le Yang."
Xiao Jingheng snorted and said, “Qin Muyan, don’t you think you are too selfish?
You don't dare to make a promise to Le Yang, and you don't want her to choose a prince consort. Are you going to let her wait for you forever?"
He waved away Qin Muyan’s hand and said, “Three days later, all the sons of the aristocratic families in the capital will be invited to attend the banquet.
If you don’t want to regret it for the rest of your life, stop being timid. ”
After leaving these words, Xiao Jingheng turned and walked out.
After leaving Qingfeng Tower, he looked back at the direction of the third floor and cursed in dismay, "You are useless."
In fact, it was he and his father who proposed to select a prince consort for Leyang, just to put pressure on Qin Muyan.
This man hides great ambitions beneath his dandy appearance, but he is still clueless when it comes to matters of the heart.
Although he is interested in Le Yang, he resists becoming his consort. Sometimes, being too rigid in following the rules can only make things less fun.
He and Qingqing are now very happy, so naturally he hopes that his good brother can also be happy.
I hope Qin Muyan can understand his good intentions.
Xiao Jingheng retracted his gaze and was about to get on the carriage when he saw Qing Mo coming over and said, "Your Highness, Nanny Feng is here and is currently at Prince Ling's Mansion."
Hearing this, he was delighted and said hurriedly, "Go back home."
……
The No. 1 Scholar’s Mansion.
As the weather was getting warmer, Song Shiwei felt lazy and didn't want to go out, so she stayed at home all day tending to her garden.
Fearing that she would be bored, Xiao Jingheng found a civet cat from somewhere to entertain her.
When Xiao Jingheng came in from the secret passage with Nanny Feng, Song Shiwei was teasing the little civet cat.
Ever since Xiao Jingheng was discovered climbing over the wall, he dug a secret passage between Prince Ling's Mansion and Zhuangyuan's Mansion.
Hearing the footsteps, Song Shiwei asked without even raising her head, "Why did you come back so late today? Did something happen in the court?"
Since moving into the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Song Shiwei has long been accustomed to Xiao Jingheng's company. She knows exactly when he comes back and when he leaves.
"No big deal."
Xiao Jingheng came over, hugged Song Shiwei with affection, rubbed her cheek and said, "Madam Feng is back."
Hearing this, Song Shiwei was stunned at first, then she was delighted: "Where is she?"
"Right outside the door."
Xiao Jingheng said, "Come in."
An elderly woman walked in nervously. When she saw Song Shiwei, she burst into tears excitedly: "Miss, are you really a lady?"
"Madame Feng."
Song Shiwei came forward, held Aunt Feng's hand and said, "It's me."
"Great, I finally got to meet the lady."
Nanny Feng cried with joy. She stared at Song Shiwei's face with her cloudy eyes and said, "They look alike. They look so alike. The young lady and the mistress look so alike."
This face alone does not require any proof; this is undoubtedly the Madam's flesh and blood.
But she couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "I heard from the prince that the young lady sent someone to Tongzhou to look for me, but how did the young lady know that I was in Tongzhou?"
When she left, Song Shiwei was still very young and probably didn't remember anything, so how could she know that she was still alive?
Song Shiwei took Madam Feng's hand and sat down at the table and said, "If I say that my mother told me this in a dream, will you believe me?
She also said that she didn’t die of illness, but was poisoned by my father.”
Nanny Feng looked at Song Shiwei in shock, holding his hand tightly and said, "Madam, what you said is true.
Song Moting is a beast. He killed the lady and the master, and took away the Xu family's property. He must not die a good death."
She cried, "Miss, you have to avenge the lady."
Song Shiwei patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, Mammy, I will avenge my mother.
Can you tell me what happened back then?"
Madam Feng quickly took out a jade pendant from her bosom and placed it in Song Shiwei's hand, saying, "This is what your mother left for you.
Miss, Song Moting is not your father. Your biological father is someone else."
Song Shiwei stared at the jade pendant in her hand, which was carved from white jade.
There is an orchid on the front and a very strange totem on the back, like a strange beast.
She stroked the jade pendant and murmured, "Ms. Zhou really didn't lie to me. She said that my biological father is not Song Moting."
