The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 22: Cruel and Merciless
Duke Suguo didn't say anything. He glanced down at Zhao Sui with a cold look in his eyes, which made Zhao Sui's scalp numb. He said angrily, "When I reported the case to the Jokhang Temple, I suspected that these two people were secretly colluding. It turned out to be true. No wonder Lu Jingning has become a different person during this period of time. It turns out that he has been hooking up with Bu Yan for a long time!"
"This bitch!" the old lady cursed.
Zhao Sui stood up and looked at Duke Su nervously: "My mother went to the palace to ask for the antidote for me today, which is why Lu Jingning schemed against her. I beg my father to show some leniency and spare my mother."
"Forgive?" Duke Su's mouth curled up into a sneer: "Your mother was humiliated in the East Palace, and everyone knows it. If Duke Su's Mansion forgives her, do you know how the world will view Duke Su's Mansion in the future?"
Zhao Sui was choked with anger.
He is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, with a bright future ahead of him, talented in both civil and military affairs, and last year's top scorer in the imperial examination. He is also a junior whom the emperor admires very much.
He naturally didn't want to be ridiculed wherever he went.
"So what does father plan to do with mother?"
Duke Su said in a deep voice: "Send him to the ancestral temple."
Zhao Sui was shocked. The family temple was full of hardship, and his mother was used to staying in the Duke Su’s Mansion, so how could she bear it?
"Build a ancestral hall in your house and confine your mother to her house. Over time, this matter will be resolved."
Before Su Guogong could speak, the old lady said, "No, there are still many unmarried girls and boys in the mansion. You must not let her influence you. You must not keep her in the mansion. Send someone to wait at the door immediately. When she comes back, send her away immediately."
Duke Su nodded: "My son also means the same thing, but after all, we have been married for many years, so my son will send someone to take care of the family temple."
Because Zhao Sui was present, the old lady opened her mouth but was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to teach the wife of Duke Su a lesson. She just nodded reluctantly, as a sign of her agreement.
"Madam, Duke, the lady is back." The housekeeper came to report.
Duke Suguo said: "No one is allowed to enter the house. Send him to the ancestral temple immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wife of Duke Su walked in. She looked at Duke Su in disbelief and said, "Duke, I was framed."
"Framed?" Duke Su pointed at Zhao Sui and said, "Your reputation is well known to everyone in the outside world. You insist on coming back. Have you ever thought about the marriages of your brothers and sisters?"
This sentence was like a dagger stabbing the wife of Duke Suguo at the heart. It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe. She looked at her son with tears in her eyes, and her anger disappeared in an instant.
She couldn't believe that the son she had raised could be so cold and heartless!
As long as his son asks for mercy, Duke Su will definitely consider it.
After all, Sui Ge'er is the most outstanding child of this generation in the Duke Su's Mansion!
Faced with the wife of Duke Su's request for help, Zhao Sui turned his eyes away and pretended not to see it.
Lady Suguogong asked in disbelief: "Sui Ge'er, are you really going to send me away?"
Zhao Sui was speechless.
"You shameless man, you have ruined the reputation of Duke Jiansu's mansion, and you still have the nerve to stay here?" The old lady was furious: "It's good enough if I don't beat you to death."
Lady Suguogong opened her mouth, not daring to disobey the old lady, and continued to stare at Zhao Sui.
Helpless, Zhao Sui could only bite the bullet and persuade: "Mother, father is right. There are still many brothers and sisters in the mansion who have not yet arranged marriages. If you come back, it will definitely implicate them, so I can only ask you to go to the family temple. Don't worry, father will arrange everything and will not let you suffer any injustice."
The ancestral temple is undoubtedly the best choice for the wife of Duke Suguo.
When Lady Suguo heard her son say this, her heart sank. After thinking it over, she could only grit her teeth and agree.
Before leaving, Lady Suguo grabbed Zhao Sui's hand and said, "Sui'er, it's all Lu Jingning who has caused us so much trouble. We must not let her have an easy life. No matter what method you use, you must marry her into the family."
As long as Lu Jingning comes in, she can do whatever she wants to him in the future. She wants to make Lu Jingning live a life worse than death!
Zhao Sui patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, mother, I will do it."
...
Just like the wife of Duke Suguo, Concubine Wan was also disliked. She returned to Prince Shen's Mansion in fear and happened to see people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs removing the three words "Prince Shen's Mansion" from the palace.
Bang!
The plaque fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment, and her eyelids twitched even more violently as she watched this scene.
Lu Jinglang, who was standing by, held Concubine Wan's arm. "Mom, will father blame us?"
Blame?
It’s good enough that we didn’t kill both mother and daughter.
Concubine Jin Shu was demoted, and the prince was demoted to a county prince. These two things were enough to make County Prince Shen furious. She took a deep breath, squeezed Lu Jinglang's hand, and comforted him, "No, no, the county prince and I have been in love for more than ten years. He won't be so ruthless."
Lu Jinglang pursed his lips and cursed Lu Jingning several times in his heart. It was all her fault for being nosy!
The door creaked open.
The housekeeper poked his head out and glanced at the two of them, and said in a light tone: "Concubine Wan, Second Miss, the Princess of the County is waiting for you in the hall."
She emphasized the three words "Princess of a County Prince" very heavily.
Concubine Wan shuddered, and having no way to escape, she could only bite the bullet and drag Lu Jinglang to the hall.
In the hall, Princess Helian of Shen County was furious and sat on a chair with a whip in her hand.
Seeing the mother and daughter coming, Helian stood up, scolded them and knelt down. Before Concubine Wan could beg for mercy, the whip fell heavily on her body, again and again, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
"Ah!" Concubine Wan screamed in pain, her face pale.
Lu Jinglang was so scared that he hid behind Concubine Wan, but even so, he couldn't escape as Helian raised her whip and whipped him too.
The mother and daughter hugged each other, crying and begging for mercy.
Perhaps Helian was tired of beating them, so she threw the whip to the ground and looked at the two of them unhappily: "Idiot, you ruined the prince's good deeds and even dared to implicate the prince's mansion, Shangguan Yunwan, you simply deserve to die!"
"Princess, please calm down. It is my fault. I will find a way to make amends." Concubine Wan was always cautious in front of Helian and didn't dare to talk back. She looked honest and obedient.
Helian sneered and kicked Concubine Wan: "Make amends? Who do you think you are? The Crown Princess already despises you and won't let you get close to her. What else do you have?"
Everything that happened in the palace reached Helian's ears. From being a princess to a princess of a county, she wanted to tear Concubine Wan apart with her bare hands.
It made her so embarrassed!
Damn it.
The word "Princess of the County" was even more irritating.
"Princess Princess, I can go back to the Shangguan family to find a solution. The Crown Princess has always been very filial, so there will definitely be a turning point." Concubine Wan thought of a solution on the way back.
She must be useful in order to escape this disaster.
Helian's eyes arched and he snorted coldly: "Go now. If I can't save you, I will not forgive you."
The tone was grim and a bit murderous.
Concubine Wan was so frightened that she repeatedly promised that she would find a way. She ignored the pain in her body and pulled Lu Jinglang away.
After leaving Prince Shen's Mansion, she did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately asked the servant to rush to Shangguan Mansion.
"Mom!" Lu Jinglang's eyes turned red, and he felt very aggrieved. Looking at the marks on his body from being beaten, he felt very painful.
Concubine Wan embraced the man and said, "Just bear with it for a while. I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future."
"Yeah!" She nodded heavily.
The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Concubine Wan straightened her clothes and got off the carriage.
At this time, there was a luxurious carriage parked at the door, which looked extremely familiar.
It’s Lu Jingning’s carriage!
She called the guard at the door and asked, "Who's back?"
"To answer Concubine, it is Princess Fenghe who has returned to visit the old lady."
Concubine Wan's face changed when she heard this.
