After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 448 It’s all over
See you then.

Qin Xiaoning ordered Songzhi to bring people in. She tucked in the corners of the quilt for the children, got out of bed, straightened her clothes, and went out of the back porch to the outer room for receiving guests.

Princess Xian followed Song Zhi into the house. When she saw Qin Xiaoning, she couldn't say a word and couldn't help crying.

Qin Xiaoning stood up, her politeness was unfamiliar: "Please sit down."

Princess Xian wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sat down on the chair opposite Qin Xiaoning. She moved her lips several times but didn't know how to start. Finally, she stammered, "I thought you wouldn't see me."

Qin Xiaoning showed no expression and replied, "Even if it's someone I don't know, since he's already at my doorstep, there's no reason for me to turn him away."

She has always been a good-tempered person, and when she said this, she still used her usual gentle tone, but if you tasted her words carefully, you could not help but feel a sense of strangeness and resentment.

The Princess of Xian looked at Qin Xiaoning, her voice choking with sobs: "A Ning, I know you hate me, but I hate myself too. How could I be so useless that I couldn't even protect my own child?"

Qin Xiaoning turned her face away: "It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it anymore."

"A Ning——" Princess Xian called softly, and then held Qin Xiaoning's hand: "A Ning, you don't plan to recognize me anymore, right?"

Qin Xiaoning turned around and then calmly withdrew her hand: "At this point, it doesn't seem to be that important whether you admit it or not."

She paused, sighed slightly, and then continued: "I am living a good life now, and you are also rich and prosperous."

"A Ning, you are our daughter." Princess Xian was a little excited: "I know you have everything you need now, but we still want to give you more. The love of your father and mother cannot be replaced by any material or person."

Qin Xiaoning smiled bitterly: "I have been without a father and a mother for so many years, but I have managed to get through it."

—

In fact, Prince Xian originally wanted to accompany his wife to the palace, but was rejected by Prince Xian’s wife.

They wanted to see Qin Xiaoning many times, but she never showed up. Princess Xian knew that she hated them in her heart, so she planned to come and test the waters today.

It is easier for mother and daughter to talk to each other, but it is inappropriate if the husband is present.

Prince Xian was eager to protect his wife, and although he promised not to go with Princess Xian, he had been waiting on the long street leading to the mansion.

He didn't bring any entourage or servants with him. Although he was born into a royal family, he was now waiting alone on the street like an ordinary husband and father.

"Uncle—"

A familiar voice interrupted the waiting Prince Xian. He turned around and was immediately startled: "Your Majesty? Why is it you?"

Zhao Pan, who was dressed in casual clothes, hurriedly helped the virtuous prince to stand up and said with a smile: "Uncle, please don't be so polite."

"Your Majesty, are you going on a secret visit?" Prince Xian asked in confusion.

Zhao Pan did not answer, but just laughed twice, and then asked casually: "I heard that Huayang is not the biological daughter of the emperor's uncle, but was replaced by some cunning servant. Then the regent princess is your daughter. Is this true?"

Speaking of this, Prince Xian couldn't help but sighed: "It is indeed so. It is all my fault for not managing my family properly." Zhao Pan paused, then said: "I just heard about this a few days ago. I just find it incredible."

He glanced at Prince Xian and said, "There are such bizarre things in this world, and they happened in our royal family. It's really outrageous. I know that my uncle is always kind. I just want to advise you to investigate it carefully and don't be deceived by others."

Although Prince Xian was kind, he was a sensible man. After hearing what Zhao Pan said, he understood.

It was obvious that he didn't want me to acknowledge this daughter.

His daughter is now Lu Ji's wife. The young emperor is now arrogant and has big ideas in his mind. He is determined to get rid of Lu Ji as soon as possible. If he wants to deal with Lu Ji, he has to rely on the Zhao family, so he naturally doesn't want to become father-in-law and son-in-law with Lu Ji.

After hearing what Zhao Pan said, Prince Xian smiled faintly and replied, "I know your majesty is worried, but I know the priorities. My daughter is my daughter, and others are others. If anyone wants to shake the foundation of our Zhao family, no matter who he is, as the patriarch of the Zhao family, I will protect the foundation of our Zhao family even if I risk my life."

Zhao Pan laughed twice when he heard this, and then said, "I feel relieved with what the emperor's uncle said."

Someone said with emotion: "My father had so many brothers, but he only trusted you, my uncle, when he was alive. Now I finally understand that my father respected my uncle's loyalty."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xian hurriedly said modestly that he was terrified. The uncle and nephew were talking here, and they saw Prince Xian’s wife’s carriage coming towards them from afar, so Zhao Pan left with the eunuchs.

Prince Xian said goodbye to the little emperor and walked forward to meet his princess. When the imperial carriage stopped, he got on the carriage and asked impatiently, "How did the talk go? What did the Duke's wife say? Did you see Ning?"

With a kind heart, he always wanted to recognize his own flesh and blood after learning the truth.

This time, the wife of the virtuous prince was not happy. She just endured the annoyance in her heart and replied: "This is my first time dealing with the wife of the Duke. She is a straightforward person. Before I mentioned that she wanted to take Ah Ning back, she mentioned it first. She just said that it depends on Ah Ning's opinion and she will not interfere."

"This isn't very good." Prince Xian couldn't help but interrupt.

The wife of the Xian Prince sighed, "But from what I heard from her, she was praising Ah Ning. From the hidden meaning behind her words, it seems that she is not very willing for us to recognize our daughter."

Prince Xian was puzzled: "Why is this? Could it be that our princely family has brought disgrace to his mansion?"

"It has nothing to do with family background." Princess Xian guessed, "I always feel that the Duke's wife treats Ning like a spoiled daughter, not like an ordinary daughter-in-law. It's as if she is afraid that I will snatch her away."

Prince Xian thought about his wife's words and suddenly said, "This is not surprising. Ah Ning grew up in their family. Didn't you say that Ah Ning has a very good temperament and appearance? So she naturally admitted that she liked him."

After hearing this, Princess Xian felt even more uncomfortable: "But she is my flesh and blood after all."

There was a sour taste in his words.

Prince Xian saw what his wife was thinking, so he advised, "The Duke's wife is a well-known straightforward person. Even if she has something in her mind, she will not stop her if Ning is willing."

He looked at his wife: "Have you seen An Ning? What does she mean?"

"Yes." Princess Xian tried to wipe away her tears, "But she treated me indifferently, as if she didn't want to recognize us."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xian showed disappointment on his face, then sighed and said, "Take your time."
