Chapter 267 Prince Dun's Mansion
What a hassle, she forgot this is ancient times.
Cang Lingxuan moved his leg and said coldly to the coachman who was about to lead the horse away, "Load the carriage and take this prince back to his residence, but you all have to shut up about what happened today."
When the two grooms saw what he took out, even in the dim light of the night, they could still make out what it was.
He immediately knelt on the ground, crying out in fear and trepidation, "Your Highness, spare my life! Your Highness..."
"Did I waste my breath by saying that?"
The two drivers immediately kowtowed and stood up: "No, no, we'll go and pretend right now, we'd rather die than tell."
After saying that, he got up, carried the things and put them into the car. He was very fast and quick.
Dongfang Jin was speechless. Was this power really that effective?
Ruyi said quietly, "To be precise, it's what he has that works."
People from the lower classes like them probably have never seen royal princes, heirs, or dukes.
However, the identity token in Cang Lingxuan's hand was enough to prove their identities.
These people have all seen this thing before, but they try to avoid not recognizing it.
To put it bluntly, it was all for survival. They were afraid that if they offended these important people, they would not only die unjustly but also bring trouble to their employer and their own families.
So, they only recognize brands and not people?
Not entirely.
After the driver finished loading the car, Cang Lingxuan asked Dongfang Jin, "Aren't you really coming home with us to visit?"
Dongfang Jin shook her head: "No, let's talk about it later."
I thought to myself, why should I go back with you?
She's not your real daughter, so she doesn't want to go back with him.
She had originally planned to bring her three children with her, but Gu Chenglin said the children were too young and that it would be better to let them know about these things later.
It was already exposed; it would be bad if the child got excited and let it slip.
Children speak without thinking, and Dongfang Jin thought so too, so she didn't insist. It just so happened that she and Gu Chenglin would be using the teleportation bead later, which was as convenient as the Ruyi Blanket.
She also planned to take Gu Chenglin to visit the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and see his biological father and stepmother.
I heard that this family was quite lively. In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Shengde confiscated those people, and some officials and their families were demoted to slaves.
The current Duchess of Rongguo saw that several women from the innocent, implicated lower-class families were quite beautiful, and she couldn't bear to see them sold like livestock, so she bought them all and brought them back to her mansion.
Unexpectedly, there was a poisonous snake inside, which climbed onto the Duke of Rong's bed that very night.
At first, the Duchess of Rongguo didn't pay much attention to these things. She thought that these women would understand Rongguo's character in a few days.
Unexpectedly, after the current Duchess of Rongguo returned to her parents' home for a few days, a major incident occurred.
This woman is not only a pure and innocent flower, but also a vicious and venomous snake.
Taking advantage of her youth and beauty, and the fact that she was currently favored by the Duke of Rong, he managed to get her to give him a letter of divorce.
And this Duke Rongguo actually agreed with her opinion, which is why they fought so fiercely a few days ago.
They only found out about these things because Cang Lingxuan told them as jokes along the way; otherwise, they wouldn't have known.
Lu Yunqing said to Cang Lingxuan, "You two should go first. It's too late, and it's inconvenient for Qi Rui to visit."
Cang Lingxuan knew this was a bit urgent, and it seemed he couldn't bring his sister back, so he hurriedly got into the car with Jun Qirui and left.
Dongfang Jin felt extremely heartbroken as she watched the two carriages leave.
She asked for two carriages, one for him and one for Lu Yunqing, but now, Cang Lingxuan is about to leave.
Forget it, we can't let the prince sit with those goods.
But how could that guy be so shameless?
Cang Lingxuan: Sis, you have a solution.
Gu Chenglin looked up at the sky. The sky had darkened again in a short while. When they were almost in the capital, the sky was full of stars, but now not a single star could be seen. It seemed that it would snow in the capital tonight.
Lu Yunqing looked at Gu Chenglin, who was gazing at the sky, and Dongfang Jin, who was sulking: "Put these things away first, and come with me. We'll go ahead and find another carriage."
Dongfang Jin said sullenly, "The carriage company only has two carriages now, and I've already called them both."
Lu Yunqing: "..."
He forgot that today is Lunar New Year's Eve.
He glanced at the terrain and said, "Follow me. Once we cross this street, we'll reach the middle section of Xuanwu Street. My sister-in-law's house is over there. I'll take her carriage back."
It's perfect to be with my nephews and nieces; that way, no one will notice.
I wonder if those two brats still recognize him as their uncle.
Dongfang Jin: "Doesn't your sister live with her husband's family?"
If I'm not mistaken, that's what Long Jiu said: Lu Yunqing's older sister, Princess Anhe, although she's married, has been living at her parents' home all these years.
It is said that only Lu Yunqing's family remains in the Changyuan Marquis's mansion. His father, the Changyuan Marquis, is an editor in the Hanlin Academy.
Since Lu Yunqing's mother was poisoned to death by her husband's family, his father has remained single.
Lu Yunqing's brother-in-law is stationed at the border year-round and rarely comes back. No wonder A Dong said it was so pitiful. It seems that there are really few people in this family.
……
“This is the residence of General Weiyuan, the home of Gu Chenglin’s great-uncle,” Lu Yunqing said to Dongfang Jin, pointing to the high wall.
Dongfang Jin looked bewildered and turned to Gu Chenglin: "Should we also give some gifts?"
Gu Chenglin: "Send it over. Also, give a portion of that pill to Grandpa. He has a hidden ailment, especially his lower back, which aches on cloudy days."
"it is good."
Lu Yunqing asked the couple, "I'll go in by myself. Are you going to wait here, or at the main entrance?"
Gu Chenglin pursed his lips, thinking of his uncle who was still in Feihu Pass, and what his uncle had said when he met with his cousin Yunxiang this time.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Xiao Jin and I will wait for you at the main entrance."
Lu Yunqing nodded, not insisting that they come in with him. If the two of them came, he wouldn't have to go home or to his teacher's house.
Seeing Lu Yunqing climb over the wall, Dongfang Jin signaled Ruyi to keep an eye on Lu Yunqing and make sure she didn't run into any trouble.
All three possessed light-footed skills, but it still took them a quarter of an hour to reach General Weiyuan's mansion.
Once Ruyi said he was safe, Dongfang Jin carried Gu Chenglin into the spatial dimension.
Lu Yunqing returned to the capital secretly, and it wouldn't be good if too many people knew. Fortunately, they didn't go to many places.
This General Weiyuan's mansion was not part of their plan, truly proving the saying: plans can't keep up with changes.
I wonder if Jun Qirui's journey home with Cang Lingxuan went smoothly.
……
Cang Lingxuan and Jun Qirui sat in the carriage. Jun Qirui lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside. Is this the capital? He never thought he would enter the capital in this way.
"Don't be nervous, my father and mother are both very well."
Jun Qirui lowered the carriage curtain: "I wasn't nervous, I was just thinking about why I'm coming to the capital under these circumstances."
"Do you still want to participate in the scientific expedition?"
"No, I'm fine now." He has completely let go. Since fate has arranged things this way, why should he go against it?
"That's fine, that's fine too," Yes, that's fine too, it's fine for him to win the heart of his beauty.
He was genuinely afraid that Jun Qirui would say he wanted to participate in the imperial examinations; if that happened, he feared...
However, working for his sister and marrying her was better than being an official.
Cang Lingxuan silently thought to himself: Cousin, for my happiness this time, I have no choice but to cut off this talent.
Cang Lingyuan: You're overthinking it.
"arrive."
The driver's words interrupted their thoughts.
Cang Lingxuan stood on the carriage shaft and shouted towards the gate of the Prince's Mansion: "Hey, come out here and breathe! I'm back!"
Jun Qirui...
As for this?
"It's the Prince!"
"The Prince has returned!"
An old man shouted, "Quickly go and inform the Prince and Princess that the young prince has returned!"
Listening to the excited voice of the gatekeeper, Jun Qirui figured that this family treated their servants well.
Looking at the vermilion gate, solemn and dignified, illuminated by the large red lanterns, it seemed like a burning flame, highlighting the noble and extraordinary nature of this royal palace.
