Chapter 12 Quelling the Rumours (Part 1/3)
"Madam,
I don't think someone threatened the young lady." Aunt Zhou sauntered
over unhurriedly. She greeted Jun Lixuan, turned around and said, "The
young lady's yard is guarded by the best guards within the Mansion. Leaving
aside her attendants, only you and the master can enter. Therefore, the
possibility of her actions being instigated by others is unlikely. The young
lady also does not seem to be kidnapped by someone. Just in case, Hongzhi has
just visited the young lady's yard. There was no one was injured, and
everything is normal. I've asked her personal maid and learnt that she left the
yard by herself. Come to think of it, only Young Lady can leave the yard by
herself."
"You..."
All of Madam Ling's crying stalled after her lies were publically unveiled by
Aunt Zhou. Ling Jieyu knew that her crime was
indisputable. With a crazed smile, she turned and smirked at the crowd around
her, "So what if I came here myself? The position of Her Royal Highness
Ling should belong to me. It's mine! This scum, Ling Qiyang, robbed me of it!
It's mine!!"
As those
words reverberated across the yard, the Count Wangyang Mansion’s people held
their breaths in disbelief. These words could easily count was insubordination
and was a severe crime. The marriage between Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang was
decreed by the Emperor. No one in the right mind would voice their
dissatisfaction in front of a Prince, let alone claim that it was robbed from
her!
"You...
You are an idiot! Do you know what you are talking about!" The horrific
words shocked Count Wangyang back to his senses. Immediately, he raised his arm
to hit his daughter but was blocked by Madam. The Madam sobbed painfully in
defence, "Sire, Jieyu is not lying…"
"Shut
up!" Count Wangyang hollered. The domineering tone in Count Wangyang's
voice muted Madam and Ling Jieyu. Count Wangyang immediately knelt down and
pleaded in a hoarse, choking voice, " Your Highness, I've failed to
discipline my wives and daughters. Please, for Qiyang's sake, forgive
them."
Ever
since Jun Lixuan heard Ling Jieyu claimed that Ling Qiyang had robbed her
position, his face had become darker and darker. The crying women’s still had
their heads on their necks only because Count Wangyang had knelt before him,
and Ling Qiyang's Father still had to live here. He stared into the souls of
the women and hissed, "How dare you, repulsive filth, compare yourself
with Qiyang? Have you ever looked in the mirror to see your ugly self?"
Jun
Lixuan’s voice was colder than the winter frost, and each word pierced like an
icicle into the women's ears, "I don’t know where you heard the rumours.
But let's make this clear. I never thought about marrying you, and Emperor
Father never mentioned you. I didn’t even know who you existed before and how I
hoped it stayed that way. So, don't bother playing your little games
here." He remembered that the Emperor had said that only his own people
knew about it. Most likely, what Ling Jieyu heard was the instigation of those
who were jealous Ling Qiyang, plus her own speculation.
"If
I ever hear of this again, I will hold you accountable for slandering the royal
family and treason." Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang in his arms and declared
to the entire Mansion, "I will only take Qiyang as my wife. From beginning
to end, all the way till my death, only him."
Ling
Qiyang stared at Jun Lixuan in a daze. He felt a warm tugging in his heart, and
his eyes turned watery. He quickly lowered his head and smiled, covering up the
complex emotions on his face.
"This
time, I will write it off as familial arguments. I will not involve myself any
further. Count Wangyang, I hope you can discipline your daughter well in the
future. Enough with the trouble and nonsense."
"Yes,
yes, thank Your Highness for your kindness." Count Wangyang kowtowed his
head. he got up and kicked Madam Ling mercilessly and whispered in a firm,
forceful tone, "Get out of my sight with this shameless thing!"
When
Madam Ling heard that His Royal Highness Ling spared her daughter, she
immediately cheered up. She peeled her daughter off the ground and hastily
evacuated from Ling Qiyang's Father's yard under the concealment of several
maids and grannies.
"I'm
exhausted. You all can leave now."
"Yes,
Your Highness."
Ignoring
the crowd gathered around, Jun Lixuan put his arm around Ling Qiyang and walked
into the room. He remembered that the Madam was Imperial Noble Consort's
sister, and knew that Madam Ling and Ling Jieyu were under Imperial Noble
Consort's camp. Instantly, a mysterious smugness sprouted within Jun Lixuan. Count
Wangyang would most likely ensure that the entire Mansion kept this incident
under wraps and, Madam Ling would never let Imperial Noble Consort catch wind
of this.
However,
he had the power to open this can of worms again. Whether this incident slide
so quickly depended on Jun Lixuan...
