After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

An extremely flamboyant carriage suddenly stopped at the entrance of Princess Huajin's residence. Yueying, standing beside the carriage, lifted the curtain, and Song Jinglan stepped down slowly. His black python robe accentuated his slender figure, and every gesture exuded nobility.

Most people had not seen Prince Jing's true face for a long time. Although they had heard that he had returned to the capital a few days ago, they had not seen him in person. Now, seeing Prince Jing, they found that he was even more handsome than before.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Where is this the terminally ill person I was rumored to be?"

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jing!"

Everyone bowed in unison, but Song Jinglan raised his hand to indicate, "Today is the Crown Prince's full moon celebration. I cannot steal the limelight, so please do not stand on ceremony."

With these words, the atmosphere indeed eased considerably. Song Jinglan strolled into the mansion and met Xie Yunqi's gaze.

Facing Song Jinglan, who took his life in his past life and secretly had an affair with his wife in this life, Xie Yunqi would be lying if he said he didn't hate her. But the situation is different now. No matter how angry he is, he can only greet Song Jinglan with a smile.

"Welcome, Your Highness Prince Jing!"

Xie Yunqi quickly smiled and bowed, "I never expected that Your Highness would have the honor of attending my son's full moon celebration. It is truly a blessing for my son!"

"Oh?"

Song Jinglan glanced at him. The last time they met, he had to address Xie Yunqi as "brother," but now the situation had reversed. Without much thought, he could tell how much killing intent was hidden beneath Xie Yunqi's smiling face.

"When you sent the invitation, you specifically stated that it was to bring good luck to my elder brother. If I don't come, wouldn't that be intentionally cursing him?"

These words caused Xie Yunqi's smile to stiffen slightly for a moment, but he quickly smiled again, "Your Highness is too kind. I was merely doing my small part for my father. Please don't take it to heart."

Song Jinglan was too lazy to waste words with him, so she simply walked inside. The servant led her to the banquet hall, where she realized that there were quite a few familiar faces.

"I've met the emperor's uncle."

Prince Ding, Song Chengyan, stepped forward with a faint smile and bowed to him with great courtesy. "I never expected that my usually quiet uncle would come to the banquet."

"After being cooped up for so long, it's time to get out and move around more."

Song Jinglan glanced at him and then looked away. After sitting down, she began searching for Song Yunming in the crowd. Since he had gone to such lengths to cause such a scene today, he must have had a ulterior motive.

Seeing that Song Jinglan had taken the bait, Song Yunming, who was in the side hall, immediately ordered his men to take action. Then, in order to keep Song Jinglan calm, he stepped into the front hall.

"I am sorry for not welcoming you properly, Your Majesty."

Song Yunming came out with a wine cup in his hand. "I never expected that my royal uncle would actually grace me with his presence today. I, your nephew, would like to offer you a toast first!"

Song Jinglan, however, remained unmoved and showed no intention of raising his glass in agreement. Although he did not believe that Song Yunming would be so bold as to tamper with the food, it was best not to touch anything there until he understood Song Yunming's motives.

Song Yunming froze for a moment. Seeing that Song Jinglan was ignoring him, he cursed inwardly. But thinking that he was about to win over Jiang Yuyue, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Uncle's actions are truly disheartening."

Song Yunming said sarcastically, "Are you worried that your nephew might poison the wine? Your nephew would never stoop to such a despicable act."

These words reached Song Chengyan's ears, causing his eyes to flicker for a moment, but he quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Second brother, you are judging a gentleman by your own petty standards. Your uncle has just recovered from a serious illness and is naturally not suited to drink alcohol. It was you who was in the wrong this time."

Seeing that he had been given a way out, Song Yunming went along with it, pretended to apologize, and when everyone was almost there, they all returned to their seats.

Meanwhile, Song Yunming's men, who had already been prepared, received orders and immediately prepared to infiltrate the Jingwang Mansion to capture Jiang Yuyue. However, what he did not know was that Jiang Yuyue was not there at all.

After the incense was lit, the two servants guarding the door yawned a few times, and a moment later they collapsed to the ground. Seeing that the guards at the door had been affected, they guessed that the people inside the mansion should also be drugged. The group quickly climbed over the wall and prepared to start searching for Jiang Yuyue's whereabouts.

However, in reality, Song Yunming underestimated Song Jinglan. If Song Jinglan had not yet returned to the capital, there would have been a good chance of him succeeding in infiltrating the Prince Jing's residence using such methods.

But now that Song Jinglan has returned to the capital, it means that all his secret guards are here. Moreover, Li Daocong just delivered a large amount of evidence to Song Jinglan yesterday. In order to protect these things, Song Jinglan specially left Feng Ling in the courtyard.

The moment the incense was lit, Feng Ling, who was already on guard, immediately noticed it. The most important things in the manor right now were the evidence and Steward Zhao, so Feng Ling immediately went to his room to find him.

"Manager Zhao, please go to the dark room to take shelter for a while."

Feng Ling said in a low voice, "There are thieves who have broken in. Please allow me to deal with them first."

Manager Zhao was slightly surprised to hear this. Song Jinglan had said before leaving today that something unexpected might happen, and it turned out to be true.

Could it be that the full moon celebration was just a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Manager Zhao didn't have time to think too much. He immediately ordered his men to take all the evidence with him into the dark room to hide, while Feng Ling led a group of guards to silently surround the group of thieves.

These people had originally prepared for a bloody battle when they invaded, but they did not expect that the huge Prince Jing's mansion was empty. They did not even see a single person who had been drugged. It was so quiet that they could hear their own breathing clearly.

Such an unusual situation made their hearts pound and their nerves extremely tense.

But this situation did not last long, and several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.

Countless crossbow bolts shot out from the shadows, each one striking a vital spot, killing these people before they could even utter a painful groan.

The leader was startled by the sight and immediately realized he had been ambushed. But escape was impossible now. Just as he was about to bite down on the poison between his teeth, a ghostly figure suddenly approached and twisted his jaw, breaking it and rendering him powerless to die.

After doing all this, Feng Ling just sneered. Although she didn't know who sent this group, she thought they could invade the Jingwang Mansion with such a small number of people.

wishful thinking.

Feng Ling kicked the only survivor, then ordered, "Go to the princess's residence and inform His Highness, then take this person to the torture chamber and make him vomit."
