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

two hours later

The yard of the princess's mansion was filled with large boxes and dozens of slaves. The wound on Madam Wen's arm had been bandaged. Aunt Xian had a white veil on her face, and she could not hide her excitement.

Wen Chen had a stern face and said nothing.

Princess Qinghe was sitting in the inner hall, holding a handkerchief in her hand, thinking about something. Lu Jingning turned his head to look at her.

"Aning, I'm tired. I'm going to go in and take a rest. As for what to do, I'll listen to you. I won't blame you no matter what you do."

Lu Jingning felt a little distressed. Looking at Princess Qinghe reminded him of his past self. Although he was of noble status, he was so servile for a man.

In the end, you will still be despised and plotted against.

In the past, she had no one to take care of her and advise her, but today she can support Princess Qinghe and seek justice in the world!

After watching Princess Qinghe leave, Lu Jingning stood up and walked towards the door.

"Princess, everything has been packed. Are you going to go back on your word and not let us leave?" Aunt Xian muttered.

Lu Jingning sneered: "Open the door!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xian hurriedly took the bag and pulled Wen Chen outside, fearing that if they were a step late, the people behind them would regret it.

"My dear husband, with your intelligence and talent, you will definitely be appreciated, and I will definitely be given the title of Consort in the future."

With Aunt Xian's comfort, Wen Chen showed a longing look on his face. He nodded, took Aunt Xian's hand, and said that he would make Aunt Xian his wife after they settled down in the next two days.

"You have been wronged in the past few years. I will never let you down in the future."

Aunt Xian's face turned red and she snuggled up to Wen Chen's shoulder.

Madam Wen couldn't stand it and snorted coldly: "There are so many people here, what's the point of being so arrogant? Maybe you are used to it and can't forget your petty behavior."

Aunt Xian was stunned. She looked at Old Madam Wen with her watery eyes. It was obvious that Old Madam Wen loved her very much before, so how could she say such words?

"Mother?"

"Okay!" Whenever Madam Wen closed her eyes, she would think of the scene where Aunt Xian persuaded Wen Chen to ignore her.

Although Lu Jingning did not kill her, under the circumstances at that time, Aunt Xian did not save others first, but put herself in danger.

White-eyed wolf!

Madam Wen didn't dare to vent her frustration at Lu Jingning in person, but she didn't want to hold it in when it came to Aunt Xian.

"Whose mistress is this kind of foxy person?" Madam Wen looked disdainful and continued to knock: "Learn the rules first."

Aunt Xian looked at Wen Chen aggrievedly.

Naturally, Wen Chen did not dare to disobey Old Madam Wen and could only comfort her with his eyes. Aunt Xian gritted her teeth and endured it, but in her heart she cursed Old Madam Wen harshly.

A group of people left the princess's mansion in such a mighty manner.

"Are you going to let them off so easily?" Xue Yuan wondered.

What these people did is so hateful, they should be executed by slow slicing.

It's just a divorce, which is too cheap.

Lu Jingning smiled and said, "The Wen family has been a family of meritorious officials for generations. I can't give up the entire Wen family just because of Wen Chen and Madam Wen."

In addition to Wen Chen's generation, there are many other descendants of the Wen family serving in the army.

"But it's really not satisfying to let Wen Chen go just like that." Lu Jingning hooked his finger at Xue Yuan and whispered a few words.

Xue Yuan's eyes lit up: "I will arrange it right away."

The busy streets were bustling with people, street vendors were shouting at the top of their lungs, and a small teahouse on the corner had a small tent with a few tables set up underneath.

Groups of people gathered together to gossip.

"My wife went to see Doctor He for treatment. Guess what, Doctor He was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death. He was barely hanging on."

"Ah? Why is this?"

"Doctor He committed a sin. He helped the concubine of the princess's mansion to plot against the princess's legitimate son and almost killed him. Today, a young lady from the capital came to Qinghe. Coincidentally, this young lady went to visit Princess Qinghe and happened to run into this matter. He severely punished the concubine who caused the crime."

"I just passed by the princess's mansion and saw Prince Consort Wen and his family leaving the princess's mansion with more than a dozen carriages. Why did they do that?"

Everyone's curiosity was aroused.

"What else could it be? You're the one who makes the decision for Princess Qinghe. They're divorced, so the Princess's Mansion is where the princess lives. How can you still stay in the Princess's Mansion if you're divorced?"

"Heli?"

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone's eyes turned to the old woman who spoke.

The old woman cleared her throat and continued, "I am a purchasing woman from the princess's mansion. Princess Qinghe is kind-hearted, but she was bullied by the mother and son of the Wen family, and a concubine got ahead of her. Fortunately, the eldest lady came to visit today, otherwise it would be unknown whether Princess Qinghe and the young master could live to see the sun tomorrow."

The news that the Wen mother and son abused Princess Qinghe spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys.

Within an hour, the whole Qinghe knew about it.

"How ridiculous!" After Wen Chen learned about this, he was so angry that his face turned green, and he wandered in the hall of the Wen family's ancestral home that they had just moved into.

"Go, bring me the person who spread the rumor, and I'm going to give him a good slap in the mouth!"

"Sir, the whole Qinghe is spreading this matter now." said the personal servant with a bitter face.

Do we have to arrest everyone in the city?

Wen Chen clenched his fists, guessing that it must be Lu Jingning who was behind this: "You bitch, you dare to ruin my reputation, I will not let you off easily!"

Old Madam Wen had just laid down to rest for a while when she heard about this. Her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She sat up and propped herself up to go find Wen Chen to make the decision.

"Lu Jingning won't be able to stay in Qinghe for long. Mother, please be patient." Wen Chen advised.

Madam Wen suddenly said, "No wonder the prince died early. Having a daughter like this is not a good sign for him to live a long life!"

"Mother!" Wen Chen was so scared that he quickly cried out and looked around. Fortunately, there was no one around. If this got out, it would cause a disaster.

……

Evening

Princess Qinghe invited Lu Jingning to stay at the Princess's Mansion, but Lu Jingning shook his head and said, "No need to bother. I think the scenery behind the post station is nice. Besides, I have other things to do."

Hearing this, Princess Qinghe didn't force it any further.

It was just getting dark when she returned to the inn. She sat on a chair and looked out the window. She was indeed a little tired after a busy day.

But it's not time to go to bed yet.

Xue Yuan knocked on the door and came in: "Do you want to take a bath?"

Lu Jingning shook his head and asked if there was any news from the capital. Xue Yuan said, "Everything is normal in the capital, nothing unusual."

"Where's mother?"

"To reply, the Crown Princess is doing the same as usual. She accompanies the young prince in studying every day, and spends the rest of her time chanting sutras and praying for blessings."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her mother was fine. Looking out the window at the full moon in the sky, Lu Jingning sighed. She did not regret taking this path.

"Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, everything is settled."

Lu Jingning stood up, picked up the candle on the table and threw it directly on the bed. The flames instantly licked the curtains.

Gradually, the fire grew bigger and bigger. Xue Yuan protected Lu Jingning behind her and started shouting at the top of her lungs to put out the fire.

After an incense stick of time, Xue Yuan took Lu Jingning and jumped into the pond behind the post station, and climbed out from the other end.

The huge post station was surrounded by fire in an instant.

The shouting was so loud that it attracted many people to stop and watch, pointing at the fire.

It rains all year round in Qinghe, and the last fire was ten years ago.

Therefore, many people suspected that there was something fishy about the fire. Someone in the crowd muttered, "The people living in this post station seem to be some big shots from the capital."

"Why is it such a coincidence that the big *** caught fire on the first day of its arrival?"

"I don't know how he is doing."

There was a lot of discussion.

Someone pointed at the noise under the bridge and said, "It's a big ***!"

Lu Jingning appeared in everyone's sight, supported by Xue Yuan. She raised a jade pendant in her hand and shouted angrily with a cold face: "Check, I want to see who is so bold as to take my life!"

Soon people from the county government arrived and surrounded the post station. With everyone's joint efforts, the fire was quickly put out. The exquisite and retro post station had been burned black, leaving only a large frame, which was still emitting thick black smoke.

When the county magistrate saw Lu Jingning, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I pay my respects to you, sir. I am sorry that you were frightened. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Please come back to your residence."
