my wife is wonderful

Chapter 299 Getting Along (Part )

"My father said that I will listen to His Royal Highness Prince Ping in the future. I will do whatever he tells me to do and say whatever he tells me to say. As long as I follow His Royal Highness Prince Ping, I will have a good life in the future and I can marry whoever I want. Among the portraits my father has shown me, I like County Lady Shancheng the most. She is beautiful and of noble status. I want to marry her as my legitimate wife. I also like Fourth Miss Zhong. My father said that she is a concubine and can be taken as a concubine. There is also Miss Liu. She is beautiful and I like her too. However, their family backgrounds are not as good as those of the County Lady and Fourth Miss Zhong, so they can only be ordinary concubines. Oh, and there is also Lord Shu's youngest daughter, named Shu Chan. She is beautiful, but her brain is not good, so she can't be a concubine, only a maid."

Yang Qingmo repeated Xie Lei's words in a normal tone without any ups and downs, but Geng Xingshuang was furious. She took a deep breath and was about to scold the father and son of the Xie family.

Well, in this speech, everything from the principal wife, concubine to the maid was arranged clearly. How shameless he is! To say that he is a toad wanting to eat swan meat is to defile the toad.

But just after she snorted, an idea suddenly occurred to her mind, and she immediately changed the subject, "Princess Shancheng is Prince Shi's only daughter, and the emperor seems to dislike Prince Shi very much."

Prince Shi was the youngest son of the late emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, he followed the late emperor's will and conferred the title of Prince to Prince on Prince Shi, who was originally only a county prince. However, the emperor later downgraded almost all of Prince Shi's children by one rank. Princess Shancheng was the daughter of a prince, and she should have been given the same title as Princess Shanning, who was also the daughter of a prince. However, Emperor Shengning only gave her the title of Princess Shancheng.

These are enough to show that the Emperor really dislikes Prince Shi.

In recent years, Prince Shi's mansion has been very quiet in Ningdu City. During the holidays, there are only routine rewards. He does not seem like the emperor's biological brother, but rather like a brother from a side branch several rooms away.

Yang Qingmo nodded, his eyes filled with encouragement.

Geng Xingshuang smiled, her eyes sparkling. Yang Qingmo looked at the person in front of him, reluctant to blink. At this moment, he felt that the most beautiful thing in the world was right before his eyes.

"The fourth Miss Zhong, she is the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion. The Yongkang Marquis' Mansion is the maternal family of His Royal Highness Prince Ping and His Royal Highness Prince Jin. However, His Royal Highness Prince Jin's mother, Concubine Yao, is the concubine of the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion. The first and third branches of the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion are both legitimate branches. Concubine Yao and the second branch are born from the same mother and have an average relationship with the first and third branches. And that Miss Liu... If I'm not mistaken, she should be the daughter of Lord Liu, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. And Shu Chan is the youngest daughter of Lord Shu, the Left Deputy Imperial Envoy. The four girls mentioned by my good friend Xie Lei, except for Princess Shancheng, are the daughters of ministers who defected to Prince Ping."

After Geng Xingshuang finished speaking, he looked at Yang Qingmo, trying to see from his eyes whether what he said was right or not.

Yang Qingmo looked at her with full approval in his eyes. He nodded affirmatively and asked, "Then why do you think Xie Kun wanted to communicate with Xie Lei like this?"

"Because Xie Kun wanted to overthrow King Ping, he died, but he would not let King Ping have an easy life."

Yang Qingmo nodded again, "There's more!"

"Also, Xie Kun wanted to save Xie Lei's life. As long as Prince Ping fell, the ministers who defected to Prince Ping would also fall, and no one would investigate the Xie family's plot against their daughter. He told Xie Lei what he said, and Xie Lei said it again, which fits with Xie Lei's identity as a fool."

If the emperor and the court officials heard from Xie Lei about the conspiracy between the Xie family and Prince Ping, they would certainly have some doubts. After all, who would tell such a big thing to a foolish child at home? Perhaps he thought his life was too long.

Now Xie Lei only talked about his marriage and concubines, which naturally would not arouse suspicion. Moreover, Shu Chan was also involved. At that time, Shu Pingkuo wanted to marry Shu Chan to the Xie family in the west, and there were ministers in the court who knew about this, which added a touch of authenticity.

Geng Xingshuang continued to analyze, "Prince Shi is disliked by the emperor and has no power in the court. Xie Lei said that Xie Kun wanted to marry the Princess of Shancheng County as his legal wife for his stupid son. Although it is also wishful thinking, it is not comparable to taking a concubine. So as long as the emperor wants to spare Xie Lei's life, Prince Shi may send someone to teach Xie Lei a lesson, but he will not kill him directly."

After Geng Xingshuang finished speaking, she looked at Yang Qingmo expectantly. Yang Qingmo looked at his fiancée's innocent face and clear, watery eyes, and clenched his fists. He felt that he had to leave. If he didn't leave... Just now he almost couldn't help but touch the face of the girl opposite him, which really made him look like a lecher.

"What are you thinking about?" Geng Xingshuang felt a little embarrassed when she saw that the man opposite her was just looking at her gently and not saying anything. However, she did not avoid his gaze, but looked at him. Yang Qingmo coughed lightly and was about to speak when she heard a loud voice not far away.

"Sister Shuang, Yang Liu, have you finished your whispers? It's almost time for lunch!"

It was Geng Shuhuai's voice.

"It's my second brother? Why is he back?" Geng Xingshuang was a little surprised. Wasn't her second brother in the Ningdu Guard camp outside the city? "Today is not a day off!"

"It should be to prepare for tomorrow's things. By the way, you should also go to the Dali Temple tomorrow." Yang Qingmo felt a little regretful. Good times are always short, but they can always make people recall them countless times.

"What's happening tomorrow? Is it the trial of the Xie family? Do I have to go too?" Geng Xingshuang asked hurriedly.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Yang Qingmo was about to answer when Geng Shuhuai flew over using his Qinggong skills. His flying act stimulated Hongfu and Luxi who were lazily lying in the flowers to bask in the sun.

When it comes to flying, who can compare with them?

With the sound of flapping wings, Hongfu and Luxi flew up almost 90 degrees, and then stopped when they just exceeded Geng Shuhuai's flying height. They circled above his head and shouted triumphantly at him.

Hearing the continuous "ga ga" sounds above his head, Geng Shuhuai hurriedly shouted: "Don't shit on my head, or I won't let you go!"

However, he seemed to understand that his threats probably would not have any deterrent effect on the two birds, so he immediately increased his speed and flew to the pavilion. Finally, there was something covering his head, and he relaxed a lot. Then he stretched out his head to look at the two swans still hovering in the air, and began to make more detailed threats.

"Hmph! Don't think you are safe just because you are grown up and can't stew in one pot. You can stew in two pots. For the two of you, you can also wipe its neck and pluck its hair first, and stew one first. The weather is not hot now, and hang the other one in the well. You can eat it in a few days. You can also invite a few more guests and stew the two together. If it is inconvenient to stew in separate pots, I can also order a big pot from the blacksmith. This is Ningdu City, what kind of pot can't you buy? In order to ensure the deliciousness, we can also invite a chef from the restaurant to cook at home. It can be stewed, braised, or grilled. I haven't eaten Linghu yet! Shuangjie, Yang Liu, have you eaten it? Everyone try it!"

My goodness, this is an all-round provocation. Of course, since it was a deliberate provocation, Geng Shuhuai had already prepared for retaliation, so as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly and decisively retracted his head to prevent the two swans from shitting on his head.

However, Hongfu and Luxi seemed not to have heard his provocative words. Not only did they not poop, they even stopped making noises. Instead, they went to bask in the sun among the flowers together.

"Haha, they gave in!" Geng Shuhuai said happily. "Second brother, you are so childish! Hongfu and Luxi just don't want to argue with you." Geng Xingshuang was speechless.

"We can wait and see!" Yang Qingmo looked at his good friend, future uncle-in-law and nominal junior brother, who seemed to have won a battle, and smiled meaningfully.

Geng Shuhuai felt that Yang Maoshan's expression was somewhat familiar. Just as he was about to ask another question, he heard him ask, "Did Aunt Ruan ask you to call us?"

"No, my mother would rather you stay a little longer. Even if the food in the kitchen is ready, she would rather heat it up a few more times than rush you. It was my father who asked her to shout, saying that the food would not taste the same if you reheat it when it gets cold."

Geng Shuhuai said, looking at Yang Qingmo and his sister, "What were you talking about? We've been talking for so long. Even if dad didn't ask me to call for help, I would have come if I knew about it."

Geng Xingshuang was about to speak when she heard Yang Qingmo ask, "Today is not a day off, why are you back?"

"Of course I came back for something important. Unlike you, you wander around aimlessly all day long and even trick my sister Shuang into accompanying you to appreciate the flowers. Humph, you two haven't gotten married yet, so you have to be careful..."

As Geng Shuhuai said this, he followed Yang Qingmo out of the pavilion. Yang Qingmo gestured to Geng Xingshuang to walk in front of them.

"Second brother, we are also talking about business." Geng Xingshuang wanted to explain to her second brother. After all, they had been talking about business most of the time this morning.

But before she could finish her words, Geng Shuhuai waved at her, motioning her to go forward. He didn't want to listen to her, he just wanted to listen to Yang Qingmo's explanation.

Well, Geng Xingshuang thinks that it’s all fine, just listen to whoever you want to listen to.

Humph! She doesn't want to say it yet.

Geng Shuhuai had no idea that he had offended his sister with just a wave of his hand, and he grabbed Yang Qingmo to hear his explanation.

As Geng Xingshuang was walking, she heard a "whooshing" sound coming from behind. Before she turned around to look, she heard Geng Shuhuai's furious scolding.

"You two stupid, stupid birds, you use this trick again, I'm going to go back and get my bow and arrows, and kill two birds with one stone!"

No wonder Geng Xingshuang always felt that something was not right. Something that should have happened did not happen. It turned out that something was waiting for them. But when did Hong Fuluxi learn the revenge method of "waiting for the opportunity and hitting the target with one strike"?

Yang Qingmo seemed to see through her confusion and explained, "During the war last year, they also learned some skills."

"It's not enough that you've been chatting all morning. What are you still gossiping about now? Get these two dead birds off my head."

Geng Shuhuai now really wants to hold the bow and arrow and kill two birds with one stone.

But he also knew that he could only think about it, but this made him even angrier and more furious.

Geng Xingshuang saw Hong Fu and Lu Xi taking turns to use their claws to grab Geng Shuhuai's hair into a bird's nest. The two swans cooperated well. You swooped down and I swooped up. There would be no situation of fighting over the territory above Geng Shuhuai's head. Geng Shuhuai's black hair fell from the bird's claws one by one.

"Hongfu, Luxi, that's enough! If my second brother becomes bald, I will pluck your hair and make a wig for him to wear."

Geng Xingshuang shouted and threatened.

When Hong Fuluxi heard this, they were so frightened that several feathers fell off. Then they made two "cackling" sounds, flew upwards, and soon disappeared.

"Why do they run away when you threaten them? Why does this happen when I threaten them?" Geng Shuhuai touched the bird's nest on his head, feeling very unwilling.

"Second brother, don't mess with them anymore."

"They provoked me first this time."

"Then do you want me to draw your embarrassed look just now and show it to Sister Jiang?"

"Then... no need for that. Okay, from now on, as long as they don't provoke me first, I won't say a word to them. But if they provoke me first, I will really kill two birds with one stone."

Listening to the conversation between the two siblings in front, Yang Qingmo, who was walking behind, walked to Geng Xingshuang calmly and sighed in his heart, there are still three years, three years, it seems a bit long!

On the second day, the Dali Temple, the Supervisory Office and the Ministry of Justice jointly tried the case of Prince Shen's treason, the case of the Xie family's treason, and the case of the kidnapping of Princess Xinping and Princess Lingxin.

These three cases seem to be unrelated, but they are connected in every way. They seem to have nothing to do with King Ping, but they all have King Ping's hand in the dark.

Prince Ping had not expected that the case would be tried so quickly, nor had he expected that the evidence would appear one by one at the desks of the Dali Temple, the Supervisory Office, and the Ministry of Justice in the direction he least wanted. All his arrangements, including his efforts in the court and the relationships he maintained with the women in the backyard, were useless at this time.
