After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

After seeing the fallen portrait, Zhang no longer cared about anything else and hurried out of the main room, went out through the back corner door of the courtyard, and went out of the mansion in a panic.

When she was halfway there, she saw her sister-in-law, Sun, sneaking towards the mansion.

"I was just looking for you." When she saw Sun, Zhang's eyes turned red, and she looked ferocious, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Just as Sun was about to speak, Zhang pulled her into her room without explanation. She locked the door and asked Sun in a low voice, "Back then, I asked you to find a way to kill Miss Qin. Did you do it?"

When Sun heard this, she immediately panicked: "What's wrong? You were fine, why did this suddenly happen?"

"Tell me the truth!"

Because of fear, Zhang's face turned pale, and even the wrinkles on her temples began to tremble slightly, which looked very scary.

She lowered her voice and asked Sun: "Did you kill that child and that Qin guy?"

At first, Sun was hesitant and refused to speak. Seeing this, Zhang became more anxious.

"Do you know that the child is now in the capital." Zhang was so frightened that her voice almost changed: "She is actually the regent princess, and she actually married Lu Ji."

When Sun heard this, she was at a loss: "Who told you that? Are you sure?"

After hearing what Sun said, Zhang raised her hand and slapped her, asking fiercely, "You really didn't get rid of that woman and the child?"

"If you don't cut the weeds at their roots, it will only leave trouble behind." As he said this, he raised his hand and slapped Sun in anger.

Sun was completely stunned. She covered her face and babbled, unable to utter a word.

After throwing the two slaps, Zhang finally calmed down a bit. She pulled Sun over and told her everything about the Princess of Yu looking for her daughter in a low voice: "Originally, I also thought that the Princess Regent was the daughter that the Princess of Yu was looking for, but I didn't know that today the Princess Regent ordered someone to bring her 'mother's' portrait here."

At this point, she couldn't help but get excited again, and trembled as she said, "It's actually that Lan Yu."

"I remember her last name was 'Qin'."

She said in a trembling voice: "It's her, that Lan Yu."

Zhang looked at Sun, whose face was as pale as ashes, and said with hatred: "When you took my money, you didn't kill the child and Lan Yu, right?"

"You liar, you damned scoundrel." Zhang said as she tore at Sun like a madman.

Sun was almost strangled to death by her. In a hurry, she pushed Zhang away and said angrily: "At this point, what's the point of you worrying about this? Hurry up and think of a solution."

He threatened Zhang again, "If this matter gets out, we will all die. You, me, your brother, and even Huayang will die."

At Qin Xiaoning's instruction, all the holiday gifts for the coming and going years have been prepared. The housekeeper brought the catalog to Qin Xiaoning for confirmation. Qin Xiaoning looked through it carefully and made sure there was nothing missing, so she ordered the housekeeper to do it accordingly.

Qin Xiaoning only needs to keep a close eye on these customary exchanges of courtesy and the rest will naturally be taken care of by the person in charge of the mansion.

She doesn't need to worry too much.

There were only two gifts that Qin Xiaoning prepared personally. One was for Jiang Nu. She had been kind to her in the past, cured Li Lanchun, and was still worrying about Xia Yun. She had given so much, so Qin Xiaoning naturally had to repay her.

Another person is Su Nu. She is both Su Nu's teacher and friend. As it is the New Year, Qin Xiaoning naturally has to prepare a gift for Su Nu.

Qin Xiaoning put a lot of thought into these two gifts.

On this day, the weather was good, so she took some free time and went to Su Nu's house in the capital with gifts. Su Nu's house in the capital was not far from the Ningguo Mansion, and Qin Xiaoning arrived there in a short while.

Qin Xiaoning had already sent a visiting card to Su Nu in advance. Knowing that Qin Xiaoning was coming, Su Nu had already been waiting at the gate of the house to greet her.

After Qin Xiaoning got off the car, she smiled and walked towards the courtyard with Su Nu. Su Nu then said to her casually, "Today, I'll let you meet a friend."

Qin Xiaoning was wondering when she heard this, but when she glanced at Su Nu's slightly blushing face, she understood.

"Master, are you finally willing to let me meet my grandfather?" She playfully joked with Su.

The two were talking and laughing as they walked into the yard. When they looked up, they saw a tall figure standing under the plum tree in the yard. The plum blossoms were in full bloom, with occasional plum blossoms blown down by the wind, rustling down, blending with the handsome and elegant man into a dreamlike scenery.

Miss Su is extraordinary and otherworldly, so the man who can win her heart is naturally not an ordinary man.

Before she had the chance to say hello, Qin Xiaoning was extremely satisfied with this man just by looking at him.

Worthy of Miss Su.

The man was gentle and polite. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they went into the house together. The servants had already prepared wine and food, so they sat together around the table, drinking and chatting.

The banquet was not over until the sun was setting and the maid outside came in to report that the Regent had come to pick up the princess.

"Since the prince is in a hurry to come and pick you up, I won't keep you any longer." Su Nu personally put on the outer cloak for Qin Xiaoning and said, "You are busy during the New Year. Let's get together again when you have time after the New Year."

The master and the disciple walked out of the yard arm in arm. It was getting dark and colder.

Lu Ji was standing in front of the carriage at the gate. The man was wearing a cloak, standing tall in the wind and snow. He looked so dignified that everything around him seemed to lose its color.

Because she had drunk alcohol, Qin Xiaoning felt dizzy when the wind blew. She endured it and walked to Lu Ji. Before he could reach out to help her, she leaned softly into his arms.

Lu Ji was delighted and simply stretched out his arms to pick the person up and put him into the car.

After he settled his young wife down, he was about to raise his hand to close the car door when he saw a dark figure suddenly running out from the porch at the gate of Su's residence. Although it was getting dark and the figure was far away, Lu Ji still keenly caught sight of the sneaky person.

She is a woman, and an old woman at that.

He shouldn't be a villain, but Lu Ji still ordered the guards under the car: "Go and catch the person who ran away."

Su Nu is a mentor and helpful friend to his young wife. Lu Ji loves her and her family, so he naturally would not allow someone with bad intentions to sneak around Su Nu's door.

After a while, the guards brought the person over. It was an old woman. When she saw Lu Ji, she knelt on the ground with a plop without the guards scolding her.

Lu Ji took a look and asked coldly, "What are you doing here sneaking around?"

The old woman stammered back, "I, I'm just passing by."

Lu Ji snorted: "I'll give you a chance. If you dare not tell the truth, I'll take you to the government office."

The guards at the side followed and scolded: "You are such a rude and unruly person. Don't refuse my toast and drink the penalty wine."

A woman had never seen such majesty before, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, I am from the Xian Prince's Mansion." (End of this chapter)
