Chapter 157 When did you divorce Lu Qingheng?
Chapter 157 When did you divorce Lu Qingheng?
"Mother!" Qin Jianjian exclaimed anxiously.
After half an hour of coma, Princess Yi slowly regained consciousness. "Say it again? Jiang Ningwan is going to be a Duke?"
Qin Jianjian's brows were filled with melancholy. "I'd better not say anything, lest my mother faint again."
But it doesn’t matter whether it is said or not.
Princess Yi propped herself up and sat up, clutching her chest uncomfortably. She felt chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
"In Daning State, how can a woman be granted the title of Duke? She's only twenty this year..."
Her voice was trembling.
Qin Jianjian corrected him, "It's not that she was made Duke. It's that if General Ling has no descendants to inherit the title, Jiang Ningwan will be the Duke."
Princess Yi's eyes were red, "What's the difference?"
"The Duke Seal of the Ling Family is in her hands. She can refuse it if she wants."
"If Jiang Ningwan were still the daughter-in-law of the Qin family..."
She paused in the middle of her words, not daring to even think about it, not daring to think about how fabulously wealthy that was.
Beihuang no longer needs to fight on the battlefield, he can reach the sky in one step.
Princess Yi felt remorseful and beat her chest, "The bright future of our Qin family has been ruined by Lu Qingheng..."
Coming back to her senses, Princess Yi angrily slammed the bed and said, "Go find your brother!"
"I want to ask him when he divorced Lu Qingheng!"
Not long after, Qin Beihuang hurried back.
"What's wrong with mother?"
Princess Yi pinched her heart and said, "I feel uncomfortable!"
"When did you divorce Lu Qingheng?"
Qin Beihuang was slightly startled, his face a little ugly, "Mother, it was you who set the trap at the Xiao family banquet, right?"
"You did such an extreme thing to force me to retire Qingheng."
He also investigated after the banquet that day and found out that Qin Jianjian had been to the Xiao family.
All the clues and evidence indicate that the trap in the house was set by the mother, which harmed Qingheng.
"Qingheng told me that General Lu once saved Qiu Cheng's life, so Qiu Cheng protected her and just regarded her as the daughter of his benefactor."
"They have no personal feelings."
Princess Yi was shocked, her head buzzing. "You want to spend your life with such a disreputable woman?"
Qin Beihuang did not explain any more, as he did not want to cause unrest at home and be laughed at.
"Mother, Qingheng said that your birthday party will be held in a grand and glorious manner."
"I still have things to do, mother, have a good rest."
After saying this, Qin Beihuang stood up and left.
Princess Yi was devastated and helpless. She held her breath and angrily threw the medicine bowl. "What did I want by marrying a daughter-in-law like this? What did I want?"
After her outburst, Princess Yi fell on the bed, wiping her tears with her handkerchief. "If I could do it again, I would definitely be twice as nice to Ning Wan..."
She regrets it.
……
"Hun down the descendants of the Ling family with all your might! Kill them without mercy!" Lu Lingsong ordered sternly.
"Yes!"
Lu Qingheng, standing by, was puzzled. "Second brother, if the descendant of the Ling family dies, then wouldn't Jiang Ningwan naturally inherit the title of Duke?"
"She's so young, but her status has already caught up with her father!"
Lu Lingsong's eyes were cold. "If the descendants of the Ling family were killed on the way back to Kyoto, and it was Jiang Ningwan who did it, and she killed her brothers and sisters to seize the title of Duke of Ling, how could she still hold on to this position?"
"I want to bring her disgrace and make the Ling family kill each other!"
Jiang Ningwan has brought their Lu family to this point, and we will never let him go!
Coming back to his senses, Lu Lingsong asked, "How's your calligraphy practice in imitating Jiang Ningwan's handwriting lately?"
Lu Qingheng's eyes darkened, and a hint of hatred emerged in his eyes, "It's almost done."
"I asked him to meet me at the restaurant in Jiang Ningwan's name, and he actually went and waited until midnight."
"I was discovered by you, and you felt guilty about me."
Whenever she thought of this, she felt upset.
Lu Lingsong knew that she was unhappy and comforted her: "We are doing this to save your reputation."
"If Qin Beihuang really divorces you, it will mean to the world that you and Qiu Chengzhen are having an affair."
"No man in the world can tolerate his wife having an affair with someone else. If Qin Beihuang doesn't divorce you, those rumors will be refuted."
Lu Qingheng took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
"I will put the overall situation first."
"I will definitely host a grand birthday banquet for Princess Yi in the near future."
After I’m out of this spotlight, I’ll settle the score with Jiang Ningwan!
Princess Yi's birthday banquet was being prepared in full swing.
Spending money to build connections and establish relationships was extremely exhausting, but at least he managed to invite ten tables of prominent people, and the banquet in the general's mansion was quite lively.
It gave Princess Yi enough face.
"Mother, this is the guest list." Lu Qingheng had a dark spot under his eyes and looked weak, but he still pulled himself together and handed the list to Princess Yi for review.
Princess Yi glanced at the guest list and felt a little relieved.
The people we invited were quite capable of holding the scene.
Let’s talk about Lu Qingheng’s matter after the birthday party.
"Okay, let's just take these people."
"Okay, mother." Lu Qingheng took back the list with a smile, turned around, and his face darkened.
Finally I can take a break.
……
However, on the same day as Princess Yi’s birthday, Duke Ling’s Mansion held a grand banquet.
It is said that the mansion, which has not been inhabited for a long time, needs some liveliness and excitement.
Invite all the dignitaries in Kyoto.
The Ling family has been cleared of the charges, and Jiang Ningwan is now very popular and is very likely to become the Duke of the Ling family in the future.
She is hosting a banquet, how can we not give her face?
There was a huge crowd of people outside the Duke Ling's Mansion, and it was very lively.
The Qin family's door was empty and deserted.
Lu Qingheng stood at the door waiting for the guests to arrive, but after waiting for a long time, no carriage came.
"What's going on? Didn't those guests agree to come?" Qin Beihuang looked confused.
Soon a servant came running back to the mansion, panting.
"Oh no, General. Duke Ling's mansion is holding a big banquet, and the guests who had originally promised to come have said they can't come."
"Right now, all the powerful people in Kyoto are in the Duke of Ling's Mansion."
"The entire street is now guarded by soldiers, and ordinary people can't even enter."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qingheng's face changed suddenly.
"what!"
Qin Beihuang was also shocked and didn't dare to think about what the scene was like.
"Can we hire someone at this moment? Mother is still choosing new clothes. If she knew the guests wouldn't come..."
Lu Qingheng's heart sank.
Gritting my teeth with hatred.
"I have another idea!"
Lu Qingheng immediately mounted his horse and left.
Half an hour later, the Qin family courtyard finally became lively. Princess Yi in Jinhua Residence had been waiting for a long time and finally heard voices.
"Here they come, the guests are here." Nanny Xun happily helped Princess Yi up.
Princess Yi smiled happily, "After waiting for so long, it's finally here."
"Is this outfit okay?" She touched the big gold hairpin on her temples. This was her most precious dowry.
"Very rich!" praised Nanny Xun.
"We can't let people look down on our general's mansion." Princess Yi was filled with joy and walked out slowly with dignified steps.
I've even thought of the words of greeting.
However, when she walked through the corridor and arrived at the front yard, the scene that came into her eyes made Princess Yi stand there in shock.
"Come on! Drink!"
“This wine smells so good!”
