Chapter 178 The Prince is still innocent
Chapter 178 The Prince is still innocent
Cui was just hesitating when the housekeeper who helped Xue Changqing take care of the yard hurried over.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Cui frowned and said, "Madam Liu, just tell me what you want to say. Miss Xie is not an outsider. But what's wrong with the injury on the prince's leg?"
Not a stranger? Aunt Liu was surprised. This girl looked very unfamiliar.
Although she was confused, Nanny Liu did not dare to question the Marquis's words.
He could only say vaguely, "No, the prince's leg is fine. It was Su Lianwei who took the prince into the inner room again."
In front of Xie Lan, Nanny Liu couldn't say those ridiculous words.
But Cui had already understood it, and she was so angry that she raised her hand and smashed the teacup in her hand.
"That bitch deserves to die. Qing'er broke her leg this morning, but she still wanted to pester him. She is so shameless, even more hateful than a whore from a brothel."
After scolding Su Lianwei, Cui couldn't wait to look at Xie Lan, "Miss Xie, I know you are very good at mystical arts, can you help me deal with that bitch quietly?
As long as you can do it, I can give you the remaining half of the reward immediately. When my son recovers, I can also donate 100,000 taels of incense money to your Taoist temple."
In fact, as a mistress of the house, Cui had countless ways to torture Su Lianwei to death, and she even wanted to sell her to a brothel to be ridden by thousands of men.
But she was worried that if she really did that, her son would not only become alienated from her, but might even make a scene.
When Xie Lan heard about the one hundred thousand taels of incense money, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"No need to wait until later, I can restore your son to normal right now. Come on, lead the way, I will go find the prince right away."
Cui was very happy that Xie Lan was so proactive, but when she thought of what Nanny Liu had just said, she frowned again, "Go now? But they are doing something..."
Originally, Cui wanted to scold Xie Changqing for fooling around with Su Lianwei, but because he was her son, she couldn't bear to scold him out loud.
After a pause, he said, "If I kill that bitch in front of my son, he will definitely make trouble with me again."
"It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. This matter must be handled in front of the prince. Otherwise, even if I kill Su Lianwei, your son will not be able to return to normal.
Without Su Lianwei, he would still be obsessed with Li Lianwei and Zhang Lianwei."
Cui was a little hesitant, but soon gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you there right away."
Miss Xie was right, a short pain is worse than a long one. She couldn't let her son go on like this, or her husband would really abolish her son's title as the crown prince and hand over the military power to that bastard Su Ningfei.
Xue Changqing is the eldest son and the heir of the marquis's mansion. Apart from the main courtyard where the Marquis of Pingnan and his wife live and the Shou'an Hall where the lady-in-waiting lives, his Changqing Courtyard is the best.
It can be said that it is full of carved railings and jade bricks, with a scene every five steps and a painting every ten steps.
However, Xie Lan only had eyes for the 100,000 taels of incense money that Cui had promised him, and had no intention of appreciating it at all.
The group went straight to Xue Changqing's dormitory.
However, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the creaking sound of the bed could be heard intermittently from inside, mixed with the moans and gasps of men and women. The two maids guarding outside the room blushed with shame.
However, Xie Lan remained calm and ordered Tiechui, "Kick the door open."
The two maids were about to greet Cui when they heard someone kicking the door. They thought Xie Lan had a problem with his ears and couldn't hear what was going on inside.
"Madam, the prince, he, he..."
The maid couldn't say anything. Cui was hesitating as she listened to the noise.
Tiechui stepped forward and kicked the door open.
Without waiting for the maid to stop him, Xie Lan rushed in.
"How dare you, little wild girl, to trespass into the prince's bedroom? I'll dig out your eyes!"
Xie Lan sneered. Seeing that the other party was still lying on the Prince of Pingnan, he pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist and hit him, "You dare to dig out my eyes? You are simply courting death!" Su Lianwei was annoyed when her good deeds were interrupted.
Relying on Xue Changqing's protection, she didn't expect that someone would dare to break in without notice, and even attack her without saying a word.
It was too late to dodge.
Su Lianwei screamed in pain as the whip hit her body, but what frightened her even more was that she suddenly found herself unable to move.
"What did you do to me? Let me go immediately! Otherwise, when the prince wakes up, he will definitely not let you go!"
Xie Lan ignored Su Lianwei's threats and shouted out the window, "Madam Pingnan, come in."
Cui couldn't hold back any longer after hearing the noise in the bedroom, but she didn't feel like going in because she was thinking about her son and that bitch in bed.
When she heard Xie Lan calling her, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed him in.
As her son was committing adultery in broad daylight, Cui was prepared to see a messy scene in the room.
Unexpectedly, when I went in, I saw that except for the anger on Su Lianwei's face, her clothes were neatly arranged, not a bit messy.
Looking at the big sandalwood bed, the quilt was neatly laid out. Xue Changqing was lying beside him with his eyes closed, his clothes also neatly dressed.
Seeing that Cui was puzzled, Xie Lan kindly gave her an answer for the sake of the 100,000 taels of incense money.
"Prince Xue did not have an affair with Su Lianwei. He is still innocent now."
"impossible!"
Ever since Xue Changqing brought Su Lianwei back home, he has been with her almost day and night. How could he still be a virgin?
What's more, they all heard the noise made by Xue Changqing and Su Lianwei outside just now.
Cui frowned, somewhat doubting whether Xie Lan was really capable.
"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, just see for yourself." For the sake of the 100,000 taels, Xie Lan didn't get angry and simply rolled up Su Lianwei's sleeves.
Seeing the bright red toad blood on her arm, Cui couldn't believe it.
Even ignoring his disgust, he went forward to check, and found that the toad blood was real. He frowned tightly and asked, "What is going on?
If my son had not been seduced by this bitch, how could he be so obsessed with her that he would even go on a hunger strike and hang himself for her?"
Seeing the dark circles under Xue Changqing's eyes, and the look of a man who had been drained by women, Xie Lan knew that this was indeed hard to believe.
I can only explain patiently, "Your son is not addicted to women. He just had his Yang energy absorbed by Su Lianwei, which caused his body to be so weak."
Cui was naturally happy that her son was innocent, but Xie Lan's words made her even more confused, "Absorbing Yang Qi? Su Lianwei is not a ghost, why would she absorb this stuff?"
"Su Lianwei is not a ghost, but she is possessed by a ghost."
Cui's face changed, "Possessed by a ghost? Then why can't the monk see it? And the talisman paper I asked for is useless?"
Xie Lan didn't reply. He saw the teacup beside him, picked it up and poured the tea directly on Xue Changqing.
Cui was suspicious, but Su Lianwei's expression changed.
Seeing Xue Changqing open his eyes, she immediately cried out, "Prince, please save me."
Xue Changqing looked at Cui and Xie Lan with a gloomy face, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and put it against their necks...
