The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her
Chapter 10 Bloodshed and Calamity, I'm Your Second Brother
"Grandfather, Father and Mother were also harmed by wicked people. Please forgive them!"
"Hmph! Lanxiang was beaten to death by them. They brought this disaster upon themselves. They are not innocent at all!" The old Marquis was furious, and puzzled as to why he hadn't noticed that half of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion had been destroyed. Was he sleeping so soundly?
"Jiang Ling, you're awake! Please plead for us!" Wang Dewen called out to Jiang Ling as soon as he saw her.
Jiang Ling coldly asked him, "Where's the money?"
Wang Dewen lowered his head awkwardly, "I'm still raising the money. I'll give it to you once I've raised it all."
"Ling'er! My good girl!" the old Marquis called out excitedly from inside the house.
Jiang Yuyan wiggled his bottom and muttered proudly and shyly, "Mother, I want to walk by myself."
"Good~"
Jiang Ling smiled and put the baby down. The mother and son walked into the house hand in hand.
"Ling'er, are you alright!" The old Marquis heard that it was Jiang Ling who had caught the ghost and resolved the disaster. He was both proud and worried that his granddaughter was so capable!
"Grandpa didn't want to disturb your sleep because he was worried you'd get tired. Are you hurt? The doctor is waiting in the front yard. Would you like him to take a look at you?"
The old Marquis's care and love flowed into Jiang Ling's heart like a warm current, and her eyes crinkled into a smile.
She walked over and explained with a smile, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine!"
"Great-grandfather, don't be afraid, Mommy is very strong! I've already checked, Mommy isn't hurt at all." Jiang Yuyan spoke a long string of words, a little slowly, but his pronunciation was clear, his baby voice cool and sweet!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling smiled, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards.
No wonder she vaguely felt the baby rolling around on her, touching her hands and face. It turned out he was checking if she was injured.
The old marquis couldn't find any injuries with his naked eye, and upon hearing this, he finally felt relieved.
"Grandpa, what's this?" Jiang Ling looked at the couple kneeling outside the door.
The old Marquis slammed his fist on the table in anger, “The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness has suffered such a calamity all because of these two! Ling’er, tell me, how should we deal with them?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Wanyue became anxious.
Wang Xiuyuan stared at Jiang Ling's face, suppressing the disgust and fear in his heart, and said, "Jiang Ling, your parents are terrified by evil spirits, isn't that enough? You must plead for them!"
"Sister, your parents are your own parents, don't you feel sorry for them? Grandfather, listen to your sister, sister, please save your parents!" Wang Wanyue's words had a strong green tea smell, as if they were kneeling here because she was heartless and ungrateful.
Jiang Ling coldly stared at the two faces, a smirk playing on her lips, and asked mockingly, "What were you doing with all that commotion last night?"
Wang Wanyue felt guilty instantly, and her eyes darted away.
Wang Xiuyuan stammered for a moment before explaining, "There was a ghost last night, and Yue'er is timid, so I had to protect her!"
Jiang Ling nodded, her voice even more teasing: "Oh, so busy protecting your 'good little sister,' ignoring whether your parents live or die, you're such a filial son! Grandpa, don't you agree?"
The old Marquis didn't think much of it, simply assuming it was a deep bond between brother and sister. However, he was still very disappointed in Wang Xiuyuan. As the only male heir of the Loyal Marquis's Mansion, he didn't dare to take up a sword to protect his family from the female ghost, and instead only hid away.
The eldest son and his wife were wicked and harmed people, which aroused the revenge of a female ghost.
Was it a mistake for him to hand over the title of Marquis of Zhongyi to the eldest son's family?
"Grandpa, don't worry." Jiang Ling raised her hand and patted the old Marquis's back. As her spiritual energy entered his body, the old Marquis felt his mind clear and his heart no longer ached.
Jiang Yuyan reached out her little hand and touched the old Marquis's leg, comforting him in her childish voice, "Great-Grandpa, don't be sad. Mommy will heal you!"
"Good, good, good." The old Marquis wiped away his tears with emotion.
"Grandpa, you don't need to punish them. They will be punished." Jiang Ling looked at the two people outside the door. Within three days, they would suffer a bloody disaster, and their wealth and honor in this life would come to an end.
Since the old Marquis was in poor health, Jiang Ling did not mention it, so as not to cause him any more worry.
"Ling'er, you are so kind!" The old Marquis had clearly misunderstood. He smiled and nodded, "Alright, Grandpa will listen to you and spare them this time."
Jiang Ling hesitated, then decided against it.
The old Marquis shouted to Wang Dewen and his wife, "Go! Tell people to finish repairing the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible! Also, build a big and luxurious courtyard for Ling'er and my darling! Once it's finished, send out invitations and hold a banquet. I want to personally introduce Ling'er and my darling to everyone! Do you hear me?"
Wang Dewen repeatedly agreed.
Fang Rujun was unwilling, but she could only nod and agree.
"Get out! I get annoyed just looking at you!" The old marquis waved his hand to shoo them away.
But the couple, having been frightened by the ghost and having knelt all morning, couldn't get up on their own. It was Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Wanyue who ran out and helped them limp away from Zhongyi Courtyard.
Wang Wanyue turned back angrily. She would not let that ugly girl become the second young lady and marry the crown prince!
We’ll see!
"Ling'er, my sweet child, are you hungry? Grandpa has prepared everything." Zhongyi Courtyard has its own small kitchen, and the old Marquis waved his hand, calling for someone to serve the dishes.
Jiang Ling was indeed hungry, and catching ghosts was hard work. A table full of delicious food was laid out before her, and Jiang Ling picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily! The old Marquis and Jiang Yuyan both served her food, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. However, Jiang Ling keenly sensed that the old Marquis had something to say.
Jiang Ling is not in a hurry.
After finishing her meal, she asked the old Marquis, "Grandpa, what do you want to say? Go ahead and say it."
The old marquis stammered, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking: "Ling'er, I actually have more than one son besides your father..."
Just then, a panicked servant rushed in, shouting anxiously, "My lord! Something terrible has happened! The second master and the second young master have broken in!"
"Dad! I heard that my eldest brother did something wrong and was struck by lightning! Dad, are you alright? Are my niece and grand-nephew who just came home alright?" A loud voice rang out first, and the next second, a burly, strong, and muscular middle-aged man walked into the house.
The old marquis looked embarrassed.
Jiang Ling looked at the middle-aged man with surprise. He exuded righteousness and had an unyielding spirit, making him look like a military general.
Then, a handsome, dashing, and masculine young man emerged from behind the middle-aged man.
"Greetings, Grandfather." After bowing, the young man immediately turned to look at Jiang Ling with a smile. His gaze lingered on her face, and shock and heartache appeared in his eyes. "You must be Jiang Ling! I'm your second brother, Wang Jingkang. This must be your son, he's so cute!"
"Yes, I am Jiang Ling. This is my son, Jiang Yuyan." Jiang Ling nodded, her eyes fixed on Wang Jingkang, her brows slightly furrowed.
He has a very auspicious face, indicating a life of great wealth and prosperity.
But he has bruises on his face, and his body is imbalanced with an excess of yin and a deficiency of yang, causing malevolent energy to enter his body, and his forehead is bloodshot. If left untreated, something bad will happen tonight!
"Jiang Ling, I am your second uncle." After introducing himself to Jiang Ling, Wang Dewu clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old Marquis and said, "Father, I'm so glad you're alright! Your son has come on my mother's orders to take Jiang Ling and her son to the Zhenbei General's Mansion to meet their relatives!"
The old marquis opened his mouth, and subconsciously asked, "What about me?"
“Oh, Mother didn’t say she was coming to pick you up.” Wang Dewu said honestly, then glanced at the ruins outside and frowned. “Father, the Marquis’s mansion was struck by lightning and is now uninhabitable! Your niece and grand-nephew should stay at the General’s mansion. Our courtyard is all ready.”
They've come to snatch their granddaughter and great-grandson!
The old marquis's lips trembled with anger, and he looked utterly desolate and lonely.
Jiang Ling pressed down on the old Marquis's shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Grandpa, I'll go to the General's Mansion with Zai Zai, and I'll come back to stay with you tonight, okay?"
The old Marquis was moved to tears, "Good, good, good. Ling'er, Grandpa will wait for you! You must come back!"
Jiang Ling smiled and nodded, then looked at her second brother, Wang Jingkang. She thought to herself, "I'll come back after I've dealt with his matter..."
