"Aunt, are you willing to come back to Beijing with me?" Lu Jingning held Princess Qinghe's hand affectionately and winked at her: "Grandfather and grandmother miss Yun Ge'er very much."

Princess Qinghe was so excited that she burst into tears.

She also wanted to go back.

After living in the capital for more than ten years, he was suddenly sent to a fiefdom. He was unfamiliar with the place and even his dowry maid was sent away by the Wen family.

During the years she spent at the Wen family, she went out very rarely. Even during the New Year and other holidays, she looked forward to receiving letters from the palace, but she was always disappointed.

The mother-in-law said that the emperor had so many sons and daughters, so how could he remember her? What's more, the emperor felt guilty for confiscating the military power of the Wen family, and summoning the princess would be an insult to the Wen family.

Over time, Princess Qinghe really thought that her father had abandoned her.

"let me go!"

A soft chuckle interrupted their conversation.

Lu Jingning looked in the direction of the voice and caught a glimpse of a woman in a scarlet long dress, with red hairpins hanging in her hair and delicate make-up on her face. She was indeed a beauty.

Concubine Xian's arms were tightly grasped by the palace maids and dragged into the courtyard. She struggled and called out from time to time: "Husband..."

"Let her go!" Wen Chen strode over, snatched Aunt Xian from the hands of the two palace maids with great strength, and protected her behind him.

"Husband, I'm scared." Aunt Xian snuggled up behind Wen Chen.

Wen Chen glared at the two palace maids: "Who allowed you to do this in the Wen family?"

"Brother Chen!"

When the old lady saw Wen Chen, she waved her hands excitedly as if she had seen a life-saving straw. Wen Chen turned around and saw his mother lying on the ground. His pupils shrank and he hurried forward to help her up. At the same time, he also saw Lu Jingning and Princess Qinghe.

Wen Chen had met Lu Jingning in the capital before, and he felt disgusted when he knew that she shamelessly followed the prince of Duke Su.

"Lu Jingning, you are so bold that you dare to act so presumptuous here and even insult my mother!" Wen Chen was angry.

"Brother Chen, don't!"

Before Madam Wen could finish her words, Luo Bing flashed past and kicked Wen Chen hard in the chest with such force and speed that Wen Chen had no time to react.

boom!

Wen Chen was kicked far away, fell to the ground, covered his chest and stared at Luo Bing, and then his eyes fell on Princess Qinghe: "Qinghe, what do you want?"

"Noisy!" Lu Jingning rubbed her ears. She has always been a very niggardly person and disdains bullying the weak, but she also hates others bullying her children.

Lu Jingning turned to Princess Qinghe and said, "Aunt, the people of the Wen family are disrespectful to me in every way. I really can't stand it anymore. Please don't investigate."

Princess Qinghe bit her lip. She knew that Lu Jingning was making the decision for her. Over the years, she had completely lost confidence in the Wen family. So she let go of his hand, stepped aside and stopped talking.

Lu Jingning smiled slightly and walked towards Aunt Xian, scaring her so much that she screamed. Lu Jingning slapped her in the face with his backhand: "If you scream again, I'll pull out your tongue!"

After being beaten, Aunt Xian didn't dare to move anymore, but her body trembled slightly, and her misty eyes were full of grievance.

Then Lu Jingning pointed at Doctor He who was kneeling behind Aunt Xian and said, "Search him!"

"Yes."

The guards caught Doctor He and quickly found a hundred taels of silver from him. Lu Jingning took the silver and sneered, "Doctor He, I want to ask you, is the Second Young Master's illness serious?"

Doctor He looked at Aunt Xian in panic.

"I will give you one chance. If you don't confess, I will beat you to death immediately!" Lu Jingning raised his voice and scolded.

"Princess, you are being tortured into confessing!" Aunt Xian couldn't help but say, "Doctor He is just a doctor, he is innocent."

Lu Jingning smiled, turned around and grabbed Aunt Xian's jaw: "Okay, since Doctor He is innocent, then you are the culprit?"

She raised her hand, and two palace maids came forward to hold down Aunt Xian. A woman came towards her and hit Aunt Xian's face hard with both hands.

Crackling.

Soon the wailing continued.

"Husband...Husband, save me." Aunt Xian shouted.

Wen Chen clenched his fists and rushed over, but the guards stopped him. Seeing this, Wen Chen shouted, "Someone come!"

Dozens of guards came from all corners of the courtyard, each holding a long stick in his hand. Wen Chen pointed at the guards around Lu Jingning with smoke in his eyes and said, "Stop it, or I will make sure you die miserably."

None of the guards looked at Wen Chen directly.

He doesn't take people seriously at all.

Wen Chen was furious. He picked up the sword handed to him by the guard, jumped up, and slashed at the two palace maids beside Aunt Xian.

"Falling ice!"

Luo Bing jumped up and quickly pulled the two palace maids aside, narrowly avoiding Wen Chen's sword. The two were frightened and their faces turned pale.

The sword hit the ground, splashing sparks. I couldn't imagine what would happen if it hit me.

The two sides separated by some distance, Wen Chen held Aunt Xian tightly in his arms, staring at Lu Jingning: "Princess, I have no grudge against you, why did you bring people to my house to mess with my family? Although you are a princess, my Wen family is not a soft persimmon. If you don't stop, I will personally file a complaint with the emperor and ask him to give an explanation!"

"That's right, the emperor will definitely not tolerate it." Old Madam Wen stumbled to her feet and pointed at Lu Jingning angrily.

I have never suffered such humiliation in my life.

It’s really frustrating!

Lu Jingning sneered, raised his chin and snatched a sword from the guard's hand, then quickly flashed to Madam Wen's side and put the sword against the old lady's neck.

"Ah!" Madam Wen screamed in fear, her legs went weak, and she looked towards Wen Chen: "Chen... Brother Chen, help me."

"Shut up!" Lu Jingning scolded, and gradually increased the strength of his hands, scratching Madam Wen's neck, which seeped out blood. Madam Wen was so scared that her lower body became wet on the spot, and there was a foul smell that was disgusting.

Wen Chen's expression changed slightly: "Princess, what are you going to do? Breaking into my house for no reason and threatening my mother's life, what's your intention?"

Then he looked at Princess Qinghe again: "Qinghe, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you stop the princess?"

Princess Qinghe pretended not to hear.

"My husband, they must have discussed this matter beforehand. The princess would definitely not dare to do anything reckless." Aunt Xian advised, "The most urgent thing is to drive these people away first."

Wen Chen nodded and motioned for the guard to come forward.

Lu Jingning sneered, raised the sword in his hand high and stabbed it towards Madam Wen's shoulder. Blood splattered everywhere.

I heard the old lady screaming.

Lu Jingning placed the sword in his hand on Madam Wen's shoulder again and laughed disdainfully: "A mere old woman slandered this princess in public, which is a capital crime. What's wrong with killing her?"

Madam Wen panicked and looked at Wen Chen in fear and trepidation: "Brother Chen, save mother."

This time, Wen Chen didn't dare to move anymore and stared at Lu Jingning.

"Come here, beat these people out of here! Anyone who dares to fight back will be executed on the spot!"

Give an order.

The guards drew their swords and formed a circle around the courtyard.

Seeing this situation, the guards dared not resist at all and could only retreat step by step.

Lu Jingning pointed at Doctor He, raised her red lips, and uttered two words softly: "Be beaten to death!"

Doctor He was so frightened by this scene that he kowtowed to Lu Jingning and said, "Princess, please spare my life. I have no choice but to do this. It was... Aunt Xian who told me to do this. The Second Young Master is not sick at all."

After being confessed by Doctor He, Aunt Xian was almost scared to death. She was trembling and unable to speak. She clenched Wen Chen's sleeves with both hands and shook her head at Wen Chen aggrievedly; "No, it's not."

Lu Jingning was too lazy to talk nonsense, pointing at Aunt Xian and ordered: "Bring her here!"

"no, do not want."

Aunt Xian was so scared that she knelt on the ground, holding Wen Chen's legs tightly. Wen Chen frowned and blocked most of Aunt Xian's body: "This is my family affair, so please don't worry about it, Princess."
