The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

The next day in the main hall, Song Shengfu and the others all had dark circles under their eyes and were silent for a while.

They came back late last night and ordered the people on the farm to take turns patrolling, so the whole farm was deserted and a little solemn.

Just as they were anxiously waiting, Zang Feng walked in with a maid.

As soon as Zang Feng entered the room, he greeted everyone present.

"No need to be so polite, sir. Please stand up quickly and sit down to answer."

Zang Feng was a straightforward person and did not hesitate to sit down on a stool beside him. Duan Jing'an was next to him.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Zang Feng spoke first to Song Shengfu:

"Last night, the master sensed something was about to happen, and ordered this servant to escort the Sixth Prince and Young Master Duan to you. Please ask Madam Duan Hou to keep the Sixth Prince's matter confidential and not disclose it to anyone else."

Song Shengfu thought a lot last night. There was only one possibility that could make the imperial concubine hurriedly send the sixth prince out of the palace instead of protecting him: one of the princes was rebelling!

"I wonder if the Imperial Concubine is okay?"

"The palace is naturally safe, Madam, don't worry. The master is here to prevent any danger. However, please increase patrols at the surrounding intersections, just in case."

Song Shengfu and the others were all shocked. Did the incident happen or hadn't reached that stage yet?

Now they only hope that no matter which prince it is, he will not succeed, otherwise their Duan family will suffer.

"I don't need to worry about that. My eldest daughter-in-law, go and arrange the manpower. Pay attention these days and don't be lazy."

"Yes"

Mrs. Lu was extremely frightened, but she didn't dare show it, and her face became very stiff.

After Zang Feng finished his instructions, he went to guard Chu Qinling. Seeing Zang Feng leave, Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Duan Jing'an suddenly thought of his second sister and her family who were still in the palace.

"Mother, eldest brother, second sister and the others..."

Lu finally reacted, "Mother, my brothers..."

Song Shengfu recalled that in her previous life, even after the Duan family fell, the Emperor of Chu did not abdicate. So this time, there must be no problem. Thinking of this, Song Shengfu breathed a sigh of relief. The longer the Emperor of Chu lived, the more support the Sixth Prince would have. If the Sixth Prince was well, their family would be well.

Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine, right?

Song Shengfu calmed down and said calmly, "Don't worry, this matter is not a big deal. All we have to do is to secure the yard and not let it lag behind."

Duan Jingzong and the others felt a little relieved when they heard their mother say this.

Duan Jing'an hesitated when he thought of the Ding family who were unaware of the situation.

"My mother's Ding family..."

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

After Song Shengfu sent a few people away, she hesitated for a long time before walking towards Kang Ge'er's yard.

Unexpectedly, it happened that Chu Qinling and Kang Ge'er were both awake and eating the meal that had been prepared long ago.

Zhiyu was waiting on the side. When she saw Song Shengfu come in, she stepped forward and bowed.

Song Shengfu said softly and gently: "Get up, I just came to take a look."

After the two of them finished their meal, Song Shengfu came forward to pay her respects. Chu Qinling quickly asked Zhiyu to help Song Shengfu up.

"Old Madam, you are Kang's grandmother. Kang and I are like brothers. You don't have to be so polite in the future. Just treat me as your junior."

Song Shengfu listened to Chu Qinling's words and stopped being polite, but she pretended not to hear the last sentence. Forget it, treating the prince as a junior is beyond the rules.

"Did Sixth Prince sleep well last night? Did Kang'er disturb you? How about we clean up a new place today?"

"It's OK. No need to go through so much trouble. I can just squeeze in with Brother Kang. I stayed with Brother Kang in the palace, and it's the same here."

"Yes, Grandma, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Your brother can just come with me. I can still take care of him."

Song Shengfu secretly glared at Kang Ge'er and said, "You kid are calling me brother now." She could only laugh awkwardly.

"What big talk are you talking about, kid? You're protecting the Sixth Prince. It's good that you didn't cause any trouble."

Seeing that his grandmother didn't believe him, Kang Ge'er quickly asked Aunt Zhiyu to testify. Zhiyu smiled and said:

"Old Madam, what Young Master Duan said is true. Earlier, the Sixth Prince and Young Master Duan were cutting some roses in the palace to give to the Empress, but they never expected the Right Prime Minister's grandson to come over, saying dirty words and throwing mud at them."

"As a result, Young Master Duan ran over, pushed the Zhao family kid to the ground, and beat him up severely."

After hearing this, Song Shengfu was surprised at first, then nodded approvingly, "Not bad, not bad, you did a good job, kid. That's how we should give him a good beating. He'll be scared when he sees you, and won't dare to bully you again."

When Zhiyu said this, she glanced at Song Shengfu, who knew that she had something to tell her. After the servants were dismissed, only Song Shengfu, Zhiyu, Chu Qinling, and Kang Ge'er were left in the room.

Zhiyu knelt down immediately, which made Song Shengfu confused, and she quickly pulled her up.

It was from Zhiyu that Song Shengfu learned the truth of the matter.

It turned out that day, Chu Qinling and Duan Chengkang were cutting rose branches in a corner of the palace. The palace was low-lying, and while the flowers elsewhere had faded, this corner still had some flowers in full bloom.

Chu Qinling and Duan Chengkang were planning to cut some branches here to take back to Concubine Ning, but they never expected that they were seen by the right prime minister's grandson, the boy from the Zhao family, on the way and followed them.

The two of them had originally planned to surprise Concubine Ning, so they only brought Zhiyu with them. Seeing that no one was around, Zhao Chuanqi, the young man from the Zhao family, became timid and grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at the two of them.

Chu Qinling and Duan Chengkang were stunned by the blow and turned around. When they turned around, they found that Zhao Chuanqi was actually rushing towards them, intending to push them into the rose bushes.

You have to know that although roses are beautiful, they have thorns. If you pour one into them, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.

Although Duan Chengkang was always laughing, he knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately pushed the Sixth Prince towards Zhiyu. However, Duan Chengkang was not stupid enough to let Zhao Chuanqi push him down. With a clever move, he grabbed Zhao Chuanqi's hand and fell to the other side.

Zhao Chuanqi fell into the vines due to inertia, screaming in agony. However, this grandson was ruthless. When his plan failed, he endured the pain and pulled out a vine to hit Duan Chengkang, who was closest to him.

Duan Chengkang reacted quickly but was still hit on the cheek. He grabbed the vine and felt a little pain, but he didn't care too much. He quickly stood up and pushed Zhao Chuanqi, who had just stood up, to the ground.

Zhao Chuanqi was really confused now. Last time in the hall, he thought he was caught off guard and was pushed down by the fat guy who was shorter than him.

He was well prepared this time, but he still got pushed down unexpectedly. This little fat guy is really too strong.

After all, he was a boy of ten years old and had some strength. Even after struggling hard, Duan Chengkang still had some difficulty.

So he sat directly on Zhao Chuanqi's stomach, pressing his whole body on it. He clenched his fists and punched the person below him hard.

Zhao Chuanqi couldn't bear the beating and began to beg for mercy. It happened in an instant, and Chu Qinling on the side was still in shock.

Zhiyu had already reacted and pulled the Sixth Prince to a safe place before stepping forward to pull Duan Chengkang away.

Who would have thought that Zhao Chuanqi would start to spit out bad words after his begging for mercy failed, until he said: "When my family is successful, I want you to kneel down and beg me."

The hand that was originally pulling Duan Chengkang turned to continue pressing Zhao Chuanqi. This time, Duan Chengkang was able to control it more easily. He swung both hands and punched Zhao Chuanqi's belly, where the flesh was the most.

Zhiyu was horrified when she heard Zhao Chuanqi saying those outrageous words. When she heard, "Just wait for me, I will kill you in a few days," she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

There were screams here, and the palace maids who heard the noise nearby hurried over here. Seeing this, Zhiyu gave Duan Chengkang a wink.

Duan Chengkang understood immediately and pretended to be exhausted and stopped. Zhao Chuanqi below was secretly delighted. He struggled to get up and pinned Duan Chengkang under him, beating him back in revenge.

So the palace servants who rushed over only saw the young master of the Zhao family pressing the young master of the Duan family down, and Zhiyu was pulling them apart.
