Chapter 192: Catching an Unexpected Person
Yanglinghou immediately panicked and asked tremblingly: "Your Highness, what you said..."
Chu Lingxiu didn't even look at him. He only said "That's what the Marquis meant" and turned to leave.
At the beginning, Chu Lingxiu still valued Yanglinghou Mansion very much. Although the Mu family did not have much real power and Yanglinghou’s brain was not big enough, he was one of the four princes of Chu and had raised Having a daughter like Mu Xueliu who is both beautiful and talented, and especially being married to the Yining Marquis Mansion, who has a high status and unrivaled wealth, will definitely help him a lot in the future.
But as time went by, one ridiculous incident after another in the Yanglinghou Mansion continued to be revealed. First, Mu Ziqian spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, then Yanglinghou secretly kept an illegitimate wife, and then Yanglinghou's wife was partial to others. When his niece grandly appeared in front of the public with Lin Xuefu, Chu Lingxiu's patience with the Yangling Marquis Mansion gradually ran out. Fortunately, Mu Xueliu blew a lot of pillow wind from the side, so Chu Lingxiu didn't let him go. The Yangling Marquis Mansion kicked out its own team.
During this period, Mu Xueliu reminded the Mu family many times, and even Chu Lingxiu warned Marquis Yangling several times in private, but there was no improvement at all in the Mu family.
What made Chu Lingxiu want to completely separate from the Yanglinghou Mansion was when Chu Lingxi was assassinated and Shen Yi'an was imprisoned. At that time, Chu Lingxiu first publicly spoke for Shen Yi'an in the court, and then secretly looked for clues to help Shen Yi'an reverse the case. But in the end, the Yangling Marquis Mansion just dumped Shen Qing with a divorce letter, and then Mu Ziqian changed it After almost being publicly divorced by Shen Qing in front of the emperor, Chu Lingxiu was completely disappointed in Yanglinghou Mansion. He was a waste that could not be dragged away, so there was no need to worry about it.
It wasn't until Chu Lingxiu's figure disappeared from sight for a long time that Yangling Marquis finally came back to his senses. He looked at Mu Ziqian with a pale face, as if asking for confirmation, "Qian'er, His Highness has given up on us too... right?"
Mu Ziqian pursed his lips and remained silent, really not knowing how to respond to Marquis Yangling.
At this moment, the boy outside the door came again with news that Wang Huai, the eunuch beside the emperor, had arrived.
Yangling Marquis could not think about anything else and quickly took Mu Ziqian to the main hall to greet him.
Looking at the haggard-looking Yangling Marquis, Wang Huai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: his legitimate daughter was favored in the Prince's Mansion, and his legitimate son married the legitimate daughter of the Yining Marquis' Mansion. He was obviously a good player, but he was beaten to pieces by Yangling Marquis.
However, when he met the eyes of Marquis Yangling, there was a smile on his lips, "Master Marquis, Your Majesty invites you and the Third Young Master to enter the palace."
Marquis Yangling's heart sank and he asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you know why your majesty called me?"
Wang Huai shook his head, "Back to the Marquis, I don't know. I will know when the Marquis arrives in the palace and meets Your Majesty."
…
Not long after Yanglinghou and his son entered the palace, Shen Qing received news. Also news came that Chu Lingxiu and Mu Xueliu were having a breakup with the Yanglinghou Mansion.
Shen Qing smiled, everyone in the Mu family didn't know what it meant to be content, and their hearts were as high as the sky. However, one or two of them were brainless. It was reasonable that they would end up like this.
As for Mu Xueliu's break with the Yangling Hou Mansion, although it was not in Shen Qing's expectation, it has to be said that Mu Xueliu's move was excellent.
After all, those brainless people from the Mu family who want a lot of things can really not provide much help other than holding Mu Xueliu back.
As for the emperor's intention of summoning the two of them into the palace, Shen Qing knew that it was punishment without even thinking about it. The anger accumulated many times exploded at the same time, and the Yangling Marquis Mansion was afraid that there would be no room for improvement this time.
Lu Yan was teasing Tuanzi who was sleeping soundly. When he heard the news about Yanglinghou Mansion, a happy smile appeared on his lips, "I guess Mu Ziqian will be expelled from Shengjing this time."
Although the Marquis of Yangling has lost the emperor's heart, he is still the Marquis of Dachu. The emperor will not take back the title of the Mu family. At best, he will only let him live his life in the Marquis of Yangling Mansion. However, Mu Ziqian is different. , to do this kind of thing openly at the mother's funeral not only violates filial piety, but also has extremely negative consequences. In all likelihood, you will have to bear all the blame.
After being woken up again, Tuanzi gave a "meow" sound and glared at Lu Yan, then stood up, walked two steps, climbed into Shen Qing's arms, found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
Shen Qing glanced at Lu Yan and said, "Just be happy if you are happy. Why are you always making trouble for Tuanzi?"
Lu Yan coughed lightly, but he couldn't say that he was jealous of a cat, so he changed the subject and released the sleeping fusogu from his fingertips, "Jiaojiao, look, does it look better than before? "
Shen Qing lowered his eyes and saw that the Fuso Gu was now a bright blood red color, and the two tentacles on its head were becoming more erect, and it was obviously much more energetic than before.
So Shen Qing praised, "It's well maintained, so how do you use this thing?"
Lu Yan nodded and was about to speak when he saw Tuanzi, who was asleep a moment ago, suddenly open his eyes, a pair of azure eyes fixed on the Fusang Gu on Lu Yan's fingertips.
Fusang Gu also sensed this, and climbed up from Lu Yan's fingertips. His two tentacles swayed slightly towards Tuanzi. The next moment, he seemed to have reacted, and disappeared directly into Lu Yan's fingertips.
This time, no matter how Lu Yan called, Fusang Gu would not come out.
Unable to feel the fusang Gu's breath, Tuanzi lay down again and huddled in Shen Qing's arms, motionless.
Shen Qing was very surprised, "Fusang Gu is afraid of Tuanzi?"
Lu Yan nodded thoughtfully, "That should be the case. I have established some contact with it in the past few days, and I can already faintly sense its emotions. It is very scared now."
Raising her hand to stroke the tuanzi's fur, Shen Qing smiled and said, "What a treasure."
Even the most mysterious poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang are extremely afraid of Tuanzi. Shen Qing is more and more curious about Tuanzi's identity.
Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Qing looked at Lu Yan, "Tuanzi is so precious, is it really okay for you to take it out of the Mo family?"
Lu Yan's expression paused, "It should be something." After all, Mo Wuchen doesn't dare to go home now.
Afraid that Shen Qing would think too much, Lu Yan smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, since my grandfather and uncle didn't send me a message, it means that the problem is not too big. If you can't get angry anymore, just beat Mo Wuchen up."
Shen Qing: "..."
Mo Wuchen: I have been living smoothly for more than ten years. The only disaster is that I have such an inhuman cousin like you!
The two chatted in the house for a while, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. It was Chanyi.
"Miss, Lingyi sent a message."
"Come in."
When Chanyi entered the door, she saw Shen Qing leaning on the soft couch, holding the sleeping cat in her arms, with a leisurely look on her face.
Lu Yan sat on the chair beside her, looking at her tenderly.
Chan Yi said in her heart that she came at the wrong time, and quickly handed the note to Shen Qing and left.
Shen Qing opened the note, and Lu Yan came over with curiosity, and saw that there were only three short contents on it, but the amount of information contained was huge.
First, the Fifth Prince was in danger, and it was ostensibly an assassination, but in fact it was done by the Thousand Poison Sect.
Second, Tan Ji and his group had been arrested, but Tan Ji was fake as they expected, and she had committed suicide on the spot.
However, although Tan Ji died, they caught an unexpected person.
