Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Yingyi was the first to react. He swung the sword in his hand and stabbed directly at the two big snakes.

The young man in red quickly spread his arms to stop them: "No, don't hurt them!"

Just as he finished speaking, Prince Ling Ran blocked him and showed his back to Ying Yi.

Ying Yi's attack barely stopped, and the sharp tip of the sword almost pierced Prince Ling Ran's back.

He glanced at Zhan Yan and quickly knelt down: "I am sorry for being rude. I beg Prince Jing and Prince Jing to forgive me!"

Prince Jing turned his head and replied with a somber expression, "I don't blame you. It was my brother who offended Marquis Zhan Yi first. I apologize to you on his behalf!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old Prince Jing rushed to him and asked anxiously, "Son, how are you?"

The prince said respectfully: "My son is fine, but my brother may be frightened!"

The old Prince Jing was so angry that his beard stood up. He pushed Prince Jing's son away and slapped the young man in red in the face without warning.

He cursed, "Idiot! What kind of good person would give a poisonous snake as a gift? Didn't I warn you not to get into trouble, but you refused to listen? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

The young man in red was already thin, and after being slapped, he immediately fell to the ground.

He sobbed sadly: "I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, father, please don't hit me!"

Old Prince Jing was about to raise his hand to slap him again, but the Crown Prince stopped him anxiously: "Father, my brother didn't mean it. He's already weak, and if you slap him again, he might be too sick to get up. Calm down, or you can hit me too. I'm strong and can handle it!"

The old Prince Jing complained distressedly, "He relies on your ability to protect him, so he is so bold. Take him away quickly and don't let him embarrass himself again!"

Mo Lingran smiled, then reached out to help the young man in red up.

When he walked to Zhan Yan's side, he said respectfully: "Zhan Yihou, please don't blame my brother. Those two snakes just now are his good friends. He will take them with him wherever he goes!"

Zhan Yan replied calmly, "The prince is seriously ill, but I am not seriously concerned about this little thing."

Mo Lingran didn't say anything else and quickly took the young man in red away.

The old Prince Jing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Marquis Zhan Yi, I made a fool of myself. My eldest son has been a bit of a jerk since he was young. Fortunately, Ling Ran is here to help me. Otherwise, there would be no one to inherit the Prince Jing Mansion!"

Zhan Yan said calmly: "Prince Ling Ran loves his brother very much. Old Prince Jing taught him very well!"

The old Prince Jing raised his chin proudly. "That's right. Otherwise, why would I let him inherit the throne? He is the successor I carefully trained. He will definitely be able to govern Jingcheng well!"

Zhan Yan didn't respond. In fact, he could see at a glance that Mo Lingran was not as kind as he seemed. However, these were the family affairs of Prince Jing's Mansion and it was not his turn to intervene.

After some more pleasantries, the old Prince Jing got down to business.

He said sadly, "In recent years, Jingcheng has suffered many disasters. The people have not had enough to eat or wear warm clothes. I took advantage of my late wife's death to consult a prophet. He said that if I bury my late wife in the southeast and build a tower of gratitude for her, she will protect the people of Jingcheng and let them live a good life with enough food and clothing!"

"That's why I shamelessly came before the Emperor, hoping he would agree to my request. This way, the people of Jingcheng will be grateful for his kindness!"

Zhan Yan frowned, old Prince Jing is quite capable.

Every word is a plea, yet no room for refusal.

He seized the royal dragon vein under the banner of saving the people and also wanted to build a tower of gratitude. What a beautiful idea he had.

Not to mention that the emperor would not agree, he would never agree!

Noticing his solemn expression, the old Prince Jing suddenly felt uneasy. He asked cautiously, "Marquis Zhan Yi, did I say something wrong?"

Zhan Yan shook his head. "No, I'm just curious. Is the prophet you found reliable? Is he sure that the southeast is a place of good fortune for Jingcheng?"

The old Prince Jing nodded heavily. "Of course it is reliable. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way to the capital. You know very well that my return to the capital is risking violating the will of the late emperor. However, the situation is urgent. For the people to have a life without worries about food and drink, I will have no complaints even if I am punished!"

Zhan Yan asked curiously, "Did you bring the prophet with you?"

The old Prince Jing shook his head and said, "No, he is old and can't stand the bumps of the road, but his apprentice has come with him. After the emperor agrees to my request, he will be responsible for finding the location of the cemetery!"

Zhan Yan nodded immediately: "Okay, I will convey your request to the emperor. Old Prince Jing must be extremely tired after a bumpy journey. Rest well at the inn first. Someone will invite you to the palace for a banquet tonight!"

The old Prince Jing quickly bowed and said, "Then I'll trouble Marquis Zhan Yi!"

Zhan Yan returned the greeting, then turned around and left quickly.

After his figure disappeared, a man in brown clothes came out from behind the curtain and said, "Your Highness, do you think the Emperor of Sheng Dynasty will agree to our request?"

The old Prince Jing replied with a sullen face, "If he disagrees, it means he doesn't care about the people of Jingcheng. If he loses the support of the people, then what we want to do will be justified, right?"

The man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yes, as long as the Mo family forcefully occupies the land of the dragon vein, they will inevitably seize the royal fortune. When that time comes, the world will be on their side, and the Mo family will eventually become the great clan that rules the prosperous dynasty!"

When old Prince Jing heard this assertion, he laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed.

But when he thought of his eldest son who had caused trouble, anger appeared on his face again.

He angrily scolded, "How did the people below take care of that idiot? How did they let him run out and scare Zhan Yan? And he even caused Ling Ran to apologize humbly, and he was almost stabbed by that secret guard!"

The man said respectfully, "I just checked and it was the wet nurse's fault. I've already dealt with her. This won't happen again!"

The old Prince Jing nodded in satisfaction. He lazily sank into his chair and said, "I trust you to do the job. Have you visited the concubine? Didn't they say that the long journey must have shaken her bones so much that she can't even get up?"

A complex look flashed across the man's eyes, and after a moment he replied, "I checked it out. I gave her some blood-boosting medicine and she's just recovered!"

Old Prince Jing couldn't help but praise him, "You're really amazing! Give her some medicine and she'll be back to full strength. She looked so listless before, it made me feel so distressed!"

The man lowered his eyes guiltily and said, "Everyone has their own expertise. I am only good at these things. I cannot compare to you, Your Majesty. You are so powerful that even the Emperor of Sheng Dynasty has to respect you!"

Old Prince Jing waved his hand and said, "Stop flattering me. Go and get the concubine out and have her pat my head. I'm so angry at this fool that I'm in pain again!"

The man quickly invited the concubine Xu Jinse out. When she came, her pretty face was radiant and she looked like she had applied some kind of rouge.
