Chapter 39: It all depends on the brother-in-law's sincerity.
Su Ruofeng rushed into the Prince of Qin's mansion.
Feng Yue dared not stop him and had no choice but to take him to the front of Fenghua Palace.
Su Ruofeng looked at Murong Jing in front of her. Her previous enthusiasm had subsided a little, but her attitude was by no means weak.
"Your Highness, I've come to see my sister!"
Murong Jing raised his eyelids slightly: "She's perfectly fine."
Su Ruofeng glared at him; "I'll see for myself whether it's good or not. Please, Your Highness, allow me to see Mo Wan!"
"inconvenient."
"What's inconvenient about it?!"
Su Ruofeng was impatient and immediately felt that Murong Jing was deliberately preventing him from seeing his sister.
Murong Jing said calmly, "She's lying in bed right now. How are you, a man, going to see her?"
Su Ruofeng hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "What's inconvenient about it? I'm his older brother, and she's my younger sister. We're not outsiders!"
"She is already married to me, so my word is law."
Murong Jing said coldly.
Su Ruofeng looked at him incredulously: "Your Highness, can't you be reasonable? I must see Mo Wan before I can go back and report. If you continue like this, I'll go back and call for help!"
Murong Jing narrowed his eyes: "It doesn't matter who you call."
Su Ruofeng snorted and confidently declared, "Then Your Highness, just wait and see!"
After a while, Su Ruofeng had already left the Qin Prince's residence. Feng Yue wiped his sweat and said, "Master, this..."
Murong Jing snorted inwardly, his phoenix eyes narrowing.
"Ignore him, it doesn't matter who comes, just close the door to visitors!"
In Xiwu Garden, Shen Muyue was feeling smug.
"It seems Su Mowan has finally learned her lesson this time! What did I tell you? Father and eldest brother will definitely avenge me!"
Caiwei quickly lowered her voice and said, "Miss, you can't say things like that! Be careful, the walls may have ears!"
Shen Muyue didn't care at all: "What's there to be afraid of? Even if they heard it, so what? Without evidence, what can they do to me!"
Caihong, however, said, "But Miss, I heard that there were hundreds of corpses lying in the streets the next day. Such a large-scale operation doesn't seem like something the Prime Minister and the eldest son would do, does it?"
Caiwei also realized something was wrong and whispered, "That's right, Miss. If the Prime Minister and the Young Master wanted to teach Su Mowan a lesson, they should have done it when Su Mowan was alone. But yesterday... the Prince was also there!"
Shen Muyue snorted dismissively and said impatiently, "What do you two know? Although the Prince was also there, he wasn't injured, was he? Father and elder brother must have given prior instructions."
Caiwei glanced at her young mistress's expression and said cautiously, "Miss, I heard that Su Mowan was injured while shielding the prince from a knife."
"That's definitely nonsense! Is Su Mowan really that kind? It must have been spread by those two maids from Huangfeng Garden. Anyone can say nice things!" Shen Muyue raised her eyebrows and said indignantly.
Cai Hong rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, you shouldn't be too happy yet. It's true that Su Mowan is injured, but she's now living in the Prince's Fenghua Palace and can see the Prince every day."
Upon hearing this, Shen Muyue bit her lip.
"As the saying goes, you can't have everything. I'm happy as long as Su Mowan learns a lesson. As for other things, we can talk about them later!"
-
Murong Jing did not return to his study, but instead remained in the side hall with a cold expression.
His father-in-law in front of him had a big smile on his face.
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Murong Jing didn't even blink: "Not good."
The eunuch's smile froze for a moment, then he laughed again: "Oh, Your Highness, His Majesty is worried about you and Consort Su! He won't feel at ease until he sees you and Consort Su with his own eyes."
Murong Jing tapped his fingers on the armrest and said expressionlessly, "Go back and tell Father that Consort Su has had a miscarriage and needs to rest."
"..."
The father-in-law looked shocked.
It's only been three days since His Highness Prince Qin and Consort Su got married!
Where did that fetal energy come from?!
His Highness the King of Qin can never come up with a convincing excuse!
Su Mowan, who had 'stirred up the pregnancy,' was groaning in bed. Her shoulder was sore, and her lower abdomen was also aching. The loud and boisterous Qinghe in front of her was giving her a headache.
"Consort Su, how did you get so badly injured! No wonder the Prince sent everyone away last night!"
Qinghe stared wide-eyed at the wound on her shoulder.
Su Mowan groaned weakly, but in her heart she thought, "It would be better to let Granny Wei stay here..."
Qinghe didn't dare touch her. She wanted to go forward and help wipe her sweat, but she was afraid of hurting the injury, so she could only pace around the bed.
"Consort Su, when did you get into the Prince's carriage last night? You even took an arrow for him! Weren't you scared?"
Su Mowan rolled her eyes with all her might.
"Of course I was scared. I originally wanted to hide behind your prince, but it was too dark to see the way and I ran in the wrong direction. One slip and I'll regret it forever!"
"..."
Qinghe blinked and said blankly, "But Yingshuang said she saw it with her own eyes."
Su Mowan simply closed her eyes: "Just listen to her nonsense. Your prince and I were in the carriage at the time, how could she have seen us? Are her eyes on the roof of the carriage?"
"..."
Qinghe finally fell silent.
The palace eunuchs returned to the palace without stopping, and the Prince of Qin's residence welcomed another guest.
Although Murong Jing had said he would not accept guests, Feng Yue dared not chase the person in front of him away.
The newcomer was none other than Su Mobai, dressed in white, ethereal as a fairy, and as beautiful as a woman.
Murong Jing frowned slightly, staring at the elegantly smiling man in front of him, and asked, "You also want to see your sister?"
Su Mobai laughed and said, "I had no choice, I was forced into it."
Murong Jing snorted.
"How come I didn't know there was anyone who could force you?"
"That's not how it works. However, I'm not here to see Mo Wan today; I have something else to discuss."
After Su Mobai finished speaking, he calmly waited for Murong Jing's reaction.
Murong Jing's expression was somewhat displeased: "What is it?"
Su Mobai suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "The Crown Prince was assassinated last night."
Murong Jing's expression changed slightly, and after a long while, he asked, "Are you injured?"
"The person wasn't injured, but..."
Su Mobai smiled faintly.
Seeing his expression, Murong Jing frowned immediately: "What exactly is it?"
"I heard that the Crown Prince was in a brothel at the time."
"..."
"I heard it's a brothel."
"..."
Su Mobai clapped his hands, his eyes crinkling into a smile as he stood up: "Alright, the message has been delivered. I'm leaving."
Murong Jing called out to him, "When are you going to Jiangnan?"
Why should I go?
Su Mobai turned around, a sly smile on his face.
Murong Jing gritted his teeth inwardly: "I'll set off today, and I'll repay this favor to you in the future!"
"Words are no proof; let's see how sincere you are, brother-in-law," Su Mobai said meaningfully. "I'm a little short on cash lately."
Murong Jing's voice escaped through his teeth.
"How much do you want?"
