The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

The more Shangguan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help but sweat on her back. She said angrily, "You are in charge of this family, so please find out the misunderstanding and give Aning an explanation!"

Shangguan secretly made up her mind that she could no longer be weak and tolerant. Everyone was plotting against Aning, and she had to seek justice for Aning.

Murong looked at the old lady helplessly. The old lady understood what she meant and stepped forward to hold Shangguan's hand: "How could you be so confused? You made a big fuss about this matter. The Shangguan family will lose face, but you have to think about Aning's reputation."

She hadn't gotten over the old lady's behavior just now, so naturally she wasn't willing to listen to the old lady's advice to keep things quiet.

Seeing that Shangguan was determined to make a big fuss, the old lady compromised in a cold voice: "What explanation do you want? It is indeed your sister-in-law who was negligent in this matter. You are angry. Why don't I punish her by confining her to her house for three months after the birthday banquet?"

"Yes, my mother's birthday party will be in a few days. If you have anything to say, just wait until everything is done." Murong also apologized in a low voice.

Shangguan ignored her and insisted, "Check!"

At Shangguan's insistence, the Shangguan Mansion was brightly lit that night. The servants had no idea what had happened, but they only knew that the main courtyard was surrounded and many people were punished.

Lu Jingning, who was carried back, had already returned to normal. She sat in front of the windowsill, holding a cup of tea in her hand, looking outside from time to time.

"Princess, the matter between Miss Lang and the eldest son has been settled. The Crown Princess is very angry and has surrounded the whole courtyard to investigate thoroughly. The antidote sent by Liulizhai was snatched away by the old lady. She ate one herself and gave the other two to the second and third sons. The Crown Princess is...very disappointed."

What's disappointing is that the old lady kept saying that she loved her daughter and granddaughter, but when it came to making a decision, she abandoned her granddaughter without hesitation.

In today's game, Lu Jingning was not happy at all. Instead, he felt a little sad because he felt sorry for his mother.

When some people’s masks are suddenly unveiled, my mother may not be able to accept it.

"How is mother now?"

"The Crown Princess is very angry. She did not listen to the advice of the Old Madam and the First Madam and insisted on giving you an explanation." Yun Zai said.

Lu Jingning tightened his grip on the cup, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Go and deliver a letter to the master."

Today, she wants to see what her uncle's attitude is!

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Master Shangguan Si was called back from his duty station. As he listened to the housekeeper talking about what happened in the evening, his eyelids twitched violently and he took a few quick steps and then suddenly stopped.

"Master, please go and see Madam. Madam has been forced into an embarrassing situation by the Crown Princess." said the butler.

Shangguan Si pondered for a moment, raised his head to look at the crescent moon, thought for a moment, then turned around and walked away, heading straight out of the mansion.

"Master!" the butler called anxiously behind him.

The other party didn't even stop and disappeared from sight in a moment, as if he had never come back.

In the main hall

Several maids were beaten until they were covered in blood, but they insisted that nothing was put into the teapot and that only Meixiang had come into contact with the tea leaves.

Seeing that Murong was about to put the blame on herself, Concubine Wan secretly thought that something was wrong.

As expected, the next moment, Murong looked at Concubine Wan and said, "Concubine Wan, why are you so foolish? You actually gave me this kind of medicine. You are really foolish."

Concubine Wan's mouth twitched.

"Okay, stop shirking responsibility." Shangguan was too lazy to listen to these two people shirking responsibility and fooling her. She stood up and ordered everyone to imprison Meixiang first and not allow anyone to visit her. Then she looked at Murong and said, "Zheng'er is so young and actually has such dirty thoughts. It's your fault as a mother. Such a person is not worthy of reading the books of sages!"

Murong's heart tightened.

"Someone, take a letter to Qiongshan Academy immediately and tell them whether Shangguan Yunzheng will go to the academy today." Shangguan raised his voice.

It was because Shangguan became the Crown Princess that Shangguan Yunzheng had the opportunity to go to Qiongshan Academy.

That was a royal academy, where only the rich or the noble could attend. The teachers were all cabinet ministers, and the dean of the academy was the emperor's tutor. Many people tried their best to get in, just so that when they became officials in the future, they would be surrounded by fellow students and have support from each other.

Furthermore, in recent years, the Emperor of Southern Liang has attached great importance to the students of Qiongshan Academy. If the prince had not asked for it, Shangguan Yun would not have been able to get in with his qualifications.

When Murong heard that her son's future was going to be ruined, her legs went limp with fear: "No, no, sister, Zheng'er is the eldest grandson of the Shangguan family and has a heavy responsibility. If he drops out of the academy, will his reputation be preserved in the future?"

"Aunt, how can you be so cruel?" Shangguan Yunzheng was panicked. If he dropped out of the academy, how would he have the face to live in the capital in the future?

Since the establishment of Qiongshan Academy, only two people have been expelled. One was the son of a general's mansion. His family was suspected of treason and the entire family was executed.

Another one even made a mistake in the academy and molested his fellow sisters. His character was extremely bad and he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, so he was expelled.

He dropped out of school for no reason. What would the outside world think of him?

Shangguan Yunzheng looked towards Murong and said, "Mother, my son cannot drop out of school. Please persuade my aunt."

Murong knew that this matter involved Lu Jingning, which touched Shangguan's bottom line. Seeing that soft words didn't work, she could only grit her teeth and come to Shangguan: "You are determined to destroy the Shangguan family, don't blame me for not reminding you, hurting the enemy a thousand times will hurt yourself eight hundred times. Aning did such a shameless thing, once people know about it, she will be drowned in spit."

Shangguan remained unmoved.

The old lady was anxious: "If you dare to touch Zheng Ge'er today, I will not recognize you as my daughter!"

This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Shangguan suddenly raised her head and looked at the old lady with cold eyes, but the old lady thought Shangguan was afraid.

She thought that Shangguan was her own daughter and would definitely compromise, so she softened her tone: "Why should we be so awkward as a family? Didn't Aning get bullied today? Lang Jieer didn't say a word when she was bullied, so why are you so anxious?"

Lu Jinglang lowered her eyes silently, feeling extremely resentful in her heart. That was why she didn't want to marry Shangguan Yunzheng, but now she had no choice.

When everyone was silent, Shangguan suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

There was a loud bang.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and tell the news!" Shangguan was furious. She urged the maid to deliver the letter, then turned to another maid and said, "Go to the Prince Shen's mansion and invite Prince Shen to come to me!"

"Yes."

When everyone came to their senses, it was too late to stop it.

The most panicked one was Concubine Wan, who quickly said to Shangguan: "This matter has nothing to do with the Princess of the County, the Crown Princess should not vent her anger on an innocent person."

"This exotic love powder came from the Shenjun Prince's Mansion. If the doctor didn't happen to know it, who would have known that this place was related to the Shenjun Prince's Mansion? You are the concubine of the Shenjun Prince's Mansion, so I naturally have to ask the Shenjun Princess for clarification!"

Concubine Wan was choked with speech.

"Okay, I want to see how you end up!" Murong was also ruthless: "Since you want to invite people, it's better for the parties involved to be present. Let Aning come!"

Shangguan narrowed her eyes.

"Aunt is right. Of course I have to come after such a big thing happened." Lu Jingning appeared at the door, wearing a light-colored long dress. Her fair face was still a little haggard. She came to Shangguan and said, "Mother, my daughter is fine now."

Shangguan nodded, holding back her tears, and softened her tone: "Don't be afraid, Aning. Your mother will definitely support you today."

"it is good!"

Lu Jingning smiled slightly.

She thought that after today, the Eastern Palace and the Shangguan family were destined to stand in two camps, and no matter what the Shangguan family did in the future, it would have nothing to do with the Eastern Palace.

"Aning, do you really want to make trouble with your mother?" Murong said threateningly, her eyes moving down to look at her belly.

Lu Jingning raised his head and met Murong's eyes. His pupils, as dark as the night, flashed with cold light, but he did not respond with a single word.

The attitude says it all.

Murong took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see you regret it!"
