Because everyone in Jingming had sharp swords in their hands. They had seen blood in their hands, and their murderous aura instantly shocked the servants and maids in the inner house.
The eldest steward had been following Ming Guogong for a long time, and he was still calm. He came up and said helplessly and respectfully: "Miss, can you tell me what you want to do?"
Ming Lanruo took a letter from her sleeve and gave it to him: "Read it carefully."
The butler opened the letter and his expression changed, but he quickly handed the letter to Ming Lanruo: "Everything is at the discretion of the eldest lady."
Mr. Qin looked at Ming Lanruo in embarrassment and anxiety, his eyes full of angry hatred: "What do you want to do!"
What exactly did Ming Yuen Long write in the letter?
Ming Lanruo stared at her and said coldly——
"Ming Dynasty's Duke's wife, Mrs. Qin, has a wrong heart, does rebellious things, and violates the rules of alienating relatives by talking and talking. She is not worthy of being a wife of the clan, and she is not worthy of being a mother!"
"Father has written two letters of divorce. One of them is for you, and one will be sent to the clan back home."
With that said, she threw the letter in her hand in front of Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin looked at her in disbelief: "No, this is impossible!"
Grandma Chang reacted quickly and immediately crawled over to grab the letter and read it with Mr. Qin.
The clear and powerful handwriting on the letter is indeed the handwriting of the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
As if being struck by lightning, Mr. Qin twisted his body and screamed with his eyes split open.
"No - it's impossible! Ming Yuen Long - I've been filling in for you all my life, and you treat me like this! Isn't he unconscious? How could he write a letter? You must be lying to me!
"
He actually wanted to divorce her! How could he! How dare he do this to her! This must be a lie!
Ming Lanruo narrowed her bright eyes: "These two letters were written by my father before I left Northeast Xinjiang and before he fell into coma. It's just that I was concerned about my feelings and never took them out."
If she hadn't taken Ming Yueying into consideration, she would have taken it out long ago!
Then, she looked at Mr. Qin condescendingly——
"I have my own way of dealing with it here. Today I will send someone to kidnap you back to your hometown to clean up your family temple. You will never be able to leave the family temple or return to Beijing. From now on, I will save my second sister's reputation and give it to you.
The last bit of decency.”
Mr. Qin froze and looked at her hatefully: "Ming Lanruo, I should have killed you in the first place and raised you up, but this is what you did to me, you beast!"
Ming Lanruo chuckled: "You have raised me well? Do you mean you have been flattering me? Aunt?"
Although her father often guided her in her studies when she was a child and girl, most of the time he was busy with government affairs and at most he was checking on her homework.
Mrs. Qin is responsible for her upbringing and daily life.
Mr. Qin kept saying——
As the most beautiful and distinguished lady in the capital, she should be able to get whatever she wants.
I secretly read the story books of talented scholars and beauties, which Ms. Qin asked people to collect. She said she felt sorry for her hard work in studying, so she would take a break by reading some interesting books.
Ms. Qin often told her not to take her father's harsh teachings to heart, because she was a girl and it was important to find a suitable husband.
It is even more normal to live for your wishful husband and die for your wishful husband.
She was only thirteen years old when she fell in love with King Qin. Qin knew that Queen Zhou didn't like her personality, and she had already hinted to Qin that she would not choose her as her daughter-in-law if she didn't like her.
But Qin still used her identity as a loving mother to teach her to stalk the King of Qin, and even hinted that she would sacrifice herself to haunt the King of Qin.
Although it was her own stupidity that led her to a dead end, she made a mistake every step of the way, and she had no one to blame.
But it’s really interesting to think about Qin’s various performances——
A "loving mother" spared no effort to lead her to her death!
Qin's face changed slightly and she said firmly: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Ming Lanruo stood with her hands behind her hands and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Auntie just needs to understand - I didn't let you, the mistress, fall into the water 'accidentally' and die, or die of illness, so that's good."
In aristocratic families, there are almost no wives or first wives of high-ranking families who are divorced, because this affects the family's reputation.
When it comes to having to divorce a wife, most of the time it is because the wife "died" of illness.
"How dare you! I am the royal wife of the imperial court!" Mrs. Qin's face turned purple.
Ming Lanruo didn't bother to pay attention to her bluffing, and glanced coldly at Aunt Chang on the side——
"Aunt Chang, what do you think, should you accompany your mistress to be 'divorced' and then die in an 'accident', or should you accompany her to the family temple?"
The flesh on Mammy Chang's face trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "Miss... if the Duke's wife goes to the family temple and the Duke is seriously ill, no one in our Duke's house will inherit the title, wouldn't it mean that the imperial court will
Seize the title?"
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "Then you don't have to worry about it. Before my father became seriously ill, he had already handed a memorial to the King of Qin, asking the King of Qin to deliver it to His Majesty the Emperor, and designated Xiao Xi as the young prince of the Duke's Palace."
"What?! Why does that bastard!" Mr. Qin screamed when he heard this.
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows: "Why, just..."
"Just because my surname is Ming, because my mother is the legitimate daughter of the Ming family, and I am the baby that crawled out of her belly, even if you don't know who my father is, because I have half the blood of the Ming family in my body, I am better than your surname.
Tan’s nephew is qualified to be the crown prince!”
A clear child's voice sounded.
Outside the door, Chen Ning led Xiao Xi in and walked in.
Ming Lanruo smiled, Xiao Xi went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother today, and came out a little late, so she asked someone to take the child directly to the residence of Duke Ming Guo.
The little man walked up to Mr. Qin, who was tied into a rice dumpling, and said, "Okay, Mrs. Former Duke, do you have any questions?"
Mrs. Qin was extremely angry, her eyes were red, and her whole body was trembling: "You, you, you..."
"Okay, now that you have recognized me, the young prince, give up the idea of robbing me of my money, otherwise I will beat others! No one can rob me of my money!"
Xiao Xi raised her big eyes and smiled, then stepped hard with her little feet - "Crack!"
The thick bluestone slab under his feet suddenly cracked into spider web-like stripes!
There were even small, sharp stones that directly scratched Qin's face!
Qin's pupils shrank, and the pain on her face made her wince.
Grandma Chang and others were even more expressionless, feeling that the mother and son in front of them were simply monsters!
Ming Lanruo held Xiao Xi's hand and looked at Mr. Qin coldly: "Have you made your choice?"
"No, I have no merit but hard work, you dare to touch me!" Ms. Qin struggled to death and tried to look to the housekeeper for help.
But the housekeeper looked at her indifferently, he would only listen to the Duke's words.
However, Grandma Chang suddenly stepped forward and blocked Qin's mouth with her handkerchief. Then, she kowtowed to Ming Lanruo.
"Miss, let's go to the family temple. I beg you, for the sake of the fact that you and the second lady are both flesh and blood sisters of the Duke, please spare her and take care of her!"
Ming Lanruo looked at Nanny Chang and remembered that she was actually Ming Yueying's nanny and she really had some feelings for Ming Yueying.
She said leisurely: "I will give my aunt a way out, just because she is the second sister's biological mother."
Grandma Chang took a deep breath and said to Ming Lanruo: "I will take my wife to pack things right now!"
Jing Ming simply said: "No need, the eldest lady has prepared everything you need. The carriage is waiting outside the door, and the guards are ready for you. You can return to your hometown ancestral temple in a month."
Grandma Chang was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and decisively signaled to several maids to hold down the struggling Mr. Qin and get up: "Yes, we are leaving now."
The eldest lady's action was really resolute!
Once they leave the capital, they will probably not be able to come back until they die, and will have to spend the rest of their lives in the ancestral temple...
Qin's whole body felt like falling into an abyss, drowned in despair!
Ming Lanruo watched Aunt Chang and others leaving the ancestral hall under the escort of Jing Ming, and then she looked at Xiao Xi——
"Now that you are here, go and put a stick of incense on the memorial tablet of the ancestors of the Ming family. From now on, you will be the young prince of the Duke of Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Xi hesitated for a moment and asked Ming Lanruo in a low voice: "Mother, won't the... big devil have any objections? My surname will be clear from now on."
Ming Lanruo paused with the hand that lit the incense and touched his little head: "Don't worry so much."
Xiao Xi nodded obediently: "Okay!"
Whatever my mother said, that’s what I said!
He took the incense and followed the instructions of the chief steward to burn incense on the tablets of the ancestors of the Ming family.
Looking at the calm expression of the man who was less than six years old, the chief steward seemed to have seen Ming Yuan Long in his youth.
He thought happily that from now on he would be another young man with amazing talents.
…
East Palace
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness, you can't beat me any more. The Crown Princess is going to be beaten to death by you. She is your wife!"
Xingren hugged Shangguanzhou's legs tightly.
Shangguan Zhou was holding a blood-stained whip, and his originally gentle and handsome features were now distorted.
He looked grimly at Ming Yueying who was huddled behind the table, but smiled and said: "My dear concubine, when you send information to outsiders, you feel like you are a lonely wife."
Ming Yueying was beaten with bruises all over her body. She was trembling and looked at Shangguan Zhou: "I just wrote a letter to my mother to report that she is safe..."
"Pa!" Another whip struck her body hard.
Ming Yueying screamed: "Ah!"
Shangguan Zhou sneered: "You are still lying. The person who sent you the letter is from the Queen Mother's palace. Your letter will only reach Ming Lanruo!"
Ming Yueying's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the cold water. She gritted her teeth and said: "She...she is my eldest sister, I just..."
"Shut up! Aren't you, a bitch, incompatible with her? Why, do you think you can get out of the East Palace alive by trying to please her?!"
Shangguan Zhou kicked the almond open, stepped forward and pinched Ming Yueying's throat with one hand, his expression ferocious.
