On the other side, Song Zhiqing came out of Meiyuan and left Ling Mansion directly.
Chang'an was puzzled and asked him why he didn't go to visit Ling Qingwan.
Having served Song Zhiqing for many years, Changan understood Song Zhiqing's temperament best. Although he was admired by many women, few of them really caught Song Zhiqing's eye. Although it was unknown how much affection Song Zhiqing had poured into Ling Qingwan, it was certain that Ling Qingwan was special in Song Zhiqing's heart.
Since the incident at Ling Mansion, Song Zhiqing has never stepped into the gate of Ling Mansion. The only time he came to visit was at the invitation of Ling Chuchu. Chang'an couldn't figure out Song Zhiqing's thoughts.
"Wanwan has some misunderstandings about me. She was already upset when I went there at this time, and she was even more unhappy when she saw me." Song Zhiqing's expression softened when he mentioned Ling Qingwan.
It seems that his master still can't let go of Ling Qingwan. Chang'an knew what was going on.
"Then what do you plan to do about the eldest lady of the Ling family?" Chang'an asked again. If Song Zhiqing wanted to punish the crown prince by drugging him, the entire Ling family would suffer.
"Let her do what she wants. Just don't do it again next time." Song Zhiqing didn't seem to care about it.
Chang'an was stunned and confused.
"The Ling family has just encountered a series of incidents. If I cancel the engagement with the eldest daughter of the Ling family at this time, no matter what reason I use, outsiders will think that I look down on the current Ling family. Since I can't cancel it for the time being, if this matter becomes a big deal, it will be shameful for both her and me. It's better to delay it first. After this period of time, I will find a way to cancel this marriage."
Seeing that Chang'an didn't understand, Song Zhiqing was rare in his patience and explained it to him in detail.
"It's not worth losing some people's support for Ling Chuchu."
After saying that, Song Zhiqing raised his leg and stepped out of the Ling Mansion’s gate.
Changan stopped and stared at Song Zhiqing's back, chewing on what Song Zhiqing had just said. Inexplicably, Changan felt that the prince in front of him seemed a little different from before.
Ever since Shen Chengzhou went to the Ministry of Justice, Ling Qingwan asked about Ling Xiao's situation every day, but after four or five days, there was still no sign of the Ministry of Justice releasing him.
Ling Xiao listened to Ling Qingwan and did not ask Wei Xun for help. But Shen Chengzhou was a first-rank minister after all, and Ling Feng's affairs had recently caused a stir in the court, so Wei Xun was bound to have heard about it.
While the weather was still good, Ling Shen asked Qiao'er to take Ling Qingwan out for a walk. Ling Qingwan didn't want to reject Ling Shen's kindness, so she agreed. But soon after she went out, she met the person she least wanted to meet.
"What's going on?" Ling Qingwan felt a little depressed when she saw that the carriage was taking a long time to move.
"To answer the second young lady, it seems that we have collided with the Seventh Prince's carriage." Qiao'er leaned out to check, then turned around and said to Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan's face turned cold.
How could three carriages be packed into this huge Zhuque Street? Wei Xun refused to give in and stood in front of Ling Qingwan. Ling Qingwan would never believe that he didn't do it on purpose.
"Ms. Ling Er."
Ling Qingwan was complaining in her heart when Wei Xun's personal servant called out softly from outside the carriage, "Second Miss Ling, the Seventh Prince has ordered you to come over. He wants to discuss something with you."
There were many people on the street, and it was only possible for Wei Xun to ask Ling Qingwan to get into his carriage in public.
After considering for a moment, Ling Qingwan decided to go.
After all, if she didn't comply, according to Wei Xun's style, he might do something even more outrageous. Ling Qingwan knew that she couldn't win against Wei Xun by force, so she just half-complied with him.
It just so happened that Ling Qingwan also wanted to know what Wei Xun was going to do next.
"It's only a few steps away, but it took you nearly an incense stick of time to get here." Wei Xun smiled, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved.
Ling Qingwan gave Wei Xun a displeased look.
Wei Xun asked knowingly, how could he not know that she didn't want to accept this invitation.
"I heard that the Seventh Prince has something to discuss with me, so just get straight to the point." Ling Qingwan got straight to the point. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was too lazy to deal with Wei Xun.
Wei Xun's smile widened. Facing Ling Qingwan's impatient expression, he was not annoyed at all, but looked quite happy.
"Wei Xun." Ling Qingwan couldn't help it and frowned and called out Wei Xun.
Apart from Ling Qingwan, the only other person who called Wei Xun by his name in front of him was the Emperor. Ling Qingwan would rather Wei Xun and her be on edge than to see him appear calm and composed, which made Ling Qingwan feel that she couldn't see through him.
The more mysterious Wei Xun acted, the angrier Ling Qingwan became. She didn't know why.
"I have already told you about Ye Yun's matter. I told you not to get involved. Not only you, but also the people around you will be affected." Wei Xun said softly at last.
He seemed to be reminding Ling Qingwan that what he said was coming true one by one.
"This matter is related to me. How can I stay out of it? Even if I don't get involved, won't my mother, my brother and my grandfather be persecuted?" Ling Qingwan couldn't help laughing out loud as if she heard a huge joke.
"You just need to leave things to me and I will handle it." Wei Xun said seriously, his eyes fixed on Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan sneered and turned her head to the side.
"Do you think I will still believe you?"
Wei Xun may have forgotten, but she still remembers how she was deceived by Wei Xun. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. It has only been a short time since then. No matter how stupid Ling Qingwan is, she will not fall for Wei Xun's trick again in such a short time.
"If the Seventh Prince stopped me on the street and asked me to come to your carriage just to tell me this, then I advise the Prince not to waste his time. I will not listen and I will not believe you."
After saying that, Ling Qingwan turned around and was about to get off the carriage.
Wei Xun quickly grabbed Ling Qingwan's hand. Ling Qingwan turned around, glanced at her wrist, and frowned.
"General Shen will be acquitted by the Ministry of Justice within three days. This time, you don't have to do anything, believe me." Wei Xun's eyes were extremely deep, and he looked more serious than before.
Ling Qingwan almost lost her mind, but quickly she pulled her thoughts back, freed her hand, and jumped off the carriage.
Ever since she met Wei Xun, Ling Qingwan had a stern face and her brows had never relaxed. When Qiao'er and Mingyue asked her about it, she just told them not to mention Wei Xun again.
At night, Ling Qingwan had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by someone.
"What's wrong? You look so flustered." Seeing Nanny Park looking worried, Ling Qingwan asked in confusion.
"I heard that it was the girl from Meiyuan who tried to commit suicide in the middle of the night, but was discovered by a maid and rescued in time. The old lady is very angry now, and specifically asked you, young lady, to go over there." Nanny Park sighed.
This is Old Madam Ling and Ling Chuchu. One can easily guess what trap the two have set up and are working together to drag Ling Qingwan down.
But it was clear that Madam Ling was not a good person, and everyone in the Ling Mansion had to listen to her. Ling Qingwan did not delay, put on her clothes and went to Molanxuan.
