Chapter 177 I'll help you find out the truth
Xie Lan raised her eyebrows. Crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself, aren't these the methods only little girls would use?
Seeing her surprise, Cui Shi felt it was difficult to speak, "You heard me right, I never dreamed that my son was so outstanding. He has been a proud man since he was a child. He looked down on many famous ladies in Kyoto. But now, for such a good-for-nothing orphan, he resorted to some shameful means like a woman."
When talking about this, Cui was still so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Seeing that her son was hanging out with the orphan girl Su Lianwei every day and didn't even look at the maids she sent to share her favor with, Cui became angry.
So he found an excuse to send Xue Changqing away, and took the opportunity to drive the bitch to a remote farm to fend for herself.
Men generally get tired of the old and love the new. Cui originally thought that if she separated the two and sent the beautiful maid to Xue Changqing's room, and slept with a few more maids, he would naturally forget about Su Lianwei.
As time goes by, once the novelty wears off, he will surely return to being the ambitious and praised prince he used to be.
Cui’s vision was beautiful.
But when Xue Changqing returned home, he found that Su Lianwei was missing and looked for her everywhere. The servants in the mansion were all ordered to keep their mouths shut by Cui, so naturally no one dared to tell him the whereabouts of the orphan girl.
Xue Changqing couldn't find anyone, so he went crazy and ordered all the maids and old women who were serving them to be beaten to death.
Finally, a maidservant couldn't stand it anymore and confessed that Su Lianwei was driven away by Cui, but she didn't know her exact whereabouts. Xue Changqing had no choice but to ask Cui.
It was difficult to drive the bitch away, but Cui refused to tell anyone her whereabouts. Thinking that her son couldn't find her, she had no choice but to give up.
However, what Cui did not expect was that Xue Changqing actually cried and begged her to tell her the whereabouts of Su Lianwei.
Seeing him crying and making a scene for a woman, Cui was almost mad to death. Her son was such a strong man. He had never shed a tear during the tough military training since he was a child, and he never said a word when he was injured on the battlefield.
Now, after crying and making a fuss, he is going on a hunger strike.
For three days and three nights, Xue Changqing had not eaten a single grain of rice except for a little water. Seeing him dying of hunger, Xue was angry and distressed. But in order to turn her son back to the right path, she was determined and still did not tell him the whereabouts of the bitch.
"I thought that if I just held on a little longer, Changqing would eventually give up because he couldn't stand the hunger anymore. But I didn't expect that he would hang himself in the middle of the night."
Speaking of this, Cui's hands were shaking with anger, "He was not joking, he really wanted to commit suicide for such a bitch, if the guards hadn't discovered it quickly, he would have hanged himself.
I just don't understand, how could that good-for-nothing, ugly orphan girl have driven him crazy? She would rather abandon her parents and the position of the heir to seek death!"
Xie Lan frowned. According to Cui's description, Xue Changqing had changed a lot.
Ordinary men would not bother to use such tricks as crying, making a fuss, and then hanging themselves. What's more, the Prince of Pingnan, who grew up in a military camp, shed blood but not tears, and has a tough heart.
"What about the Marquis of Pingnan? Did he not care about your son's mischief?"
"Why didn't you do anything?" Cui sighed, "I saw my son in such a mess, and I really had no choice but to ask the guards to deliver a letter to the military camp.
My husband didn't believe it at first. After all, he had raised his son himself, so how could he become so unreasonable for a woman?
But when he rushed back home, he saw that his son was really dying for a woman, and he was so angry that he beat him up on the spot. He was even worried that he would continue to make trouble in the mansion, so my husband took him to the military camp without waiting for his injuries to recover.
Who knew that the rebellious son would recover from his wounds and come back overnight. He put a knife to his neck in front of me and said that if I didn't bring Su Lianwei back, he would commit suicide. " "You finally compromised. "
Cui was angry and resentful, and said helplessly, "He is about to commit suicide in front of me, what else can I do if I don't compromise."
"So, if Su Lianwei is brought back, the prince will be with her again?"
"Not only are we together, that bitch is like she hasn't seen a man for 800 years. She keeps pestering me in bed day and night."
Cui's words were not exaggerated. Xue Changqing had been training in the military camp since he was a child, and his body was originally very strong. But since he was with Su Lianwei, he stopped practicing martial arts and stopped going to the military camp. He indulged in women every day and his body was almost hollowed out.
Just this morning, Xue Changqing, who hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, suddenly felt like riding a horse. He ran two laps on the racecourse in the mansion, but he was so weak that he rolled off the horse.
This matter has become a joke.
Although Cui had issued a gag order in the mansion, strictly prohibiting people in the mansion from spreading the matter of Xue Changqing and Su Lianwei.
But in the mansion, the affair between the two could not be concealed. Many people laughed at them privately, saying that a dignified prince hanged himself for a woman, and that he was already useless.
Even though Pingnan Hou had repeatedly advised Xue Changqing, he was so angry that he gave up and took his illegitimate son Xue Ningfei to the military camp for training when he saw that Xue Changqing still refused to repent.
The servants in the mansion were all speculating that since Xue Changqing had been deposed, the Marquis was going to appoint the second young master as the Crown Prince and would also hand over the military power to him in the future.
Xie Lan stared at Cui, whose eyes were red with hatred, and suddenly said, "You asked me to come here this time, not to tell fortunes, but to help you kill Su Lianwei, right?"
Cui had indeed wanted to kill the orphan girl for a long time, but she was afraid that her son would make a scene after finding out, so she kept it a secret and did not dare to reveal any information.
She didn't expect Xie Lan to see through her thoughts so easily. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand suddenly. He stared at her for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "I only have this one legitimate son. I can't watch him go to waste like this. That bitch has bewitched my son so much that he doesn't want anything. If I don't kill her, I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Xue Changqing's transformation was so drastic that it was obviously unusual.
Xie Lan looked at Cui calmly, "Your son has changed so much, have you never doubted him?"
"Of course not." Cui smiled bitterly, "My son is such an excellent person, but he seems to have become a different person. I even thought he was possessed by a ghost.
I even suspected that the bitch was a reincarnated vixen, which was why my son couldn't leave her. Unfortunately, she wasn't. "
Xie Lan shook his head and said meaningfully, "No, your intuition is not wrong. There is indeed something wrong with Su Lianwei."
Cui was stunned. "No way? Actually, I once secretly asked a senior monk to come to the mansion to check, but he found nothing. The senior monk said that my son was clean, and even that bitch was fine.
I didn't believe it at first, thinking that the monk was not very skilled and couldn't see it. I also kept it a secret from everyone and asked for many amulets, talismans and charms to ward off evil spirits from Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. I put them in my son's and that bitch's bedrooms, but it was of no use at all."
Xie Lan chuckled, "It's useless, that's because you haven't met me. Watch, I'll help you find out the true identity of that orphan girl."
