Seeing Song Zhicheng coming, An Yi pulled Ling Qingwan away.
"Princess, Miss Ling."
Song Zhicheng greeted the two of them.
"Wanwan and I have something to do, so I'll leave you alone for now! Bye!"
After An Yi finished speaking with a smile, she took Ling Qingwan's hand and ran away quickly.
Originally, everyone treated An Yi as a child, and no one said anything when she broke the rules. It was with An Yi's help that Ling Qingwan escaped from the embarrassing predicament just now.
Fortunately, Song Zhiqing was busy dealing with the guests and had no time to notice Ling Qingwan. However, Song Zhicheng tried to talk to Ling Qingwan several times, but was blocked by An Yi and Zhang Shuying.
Although they didn't know what happened between Song Zhicheng and Ling Qingwan, Ling Chuchu had been engaged to Song Zhicheng before, and this alone was enough for An Yi and Zhang Shuying to be on guard.
What's more, Song Zhicheng has repeatedly tried to get close to Ling Qingwan.
I finally waited until the banquet was over, and when I got back, it was already getting dark.
"Miss."
Mingyue came to the room.
The dim candlelight swayed in the wind, and the room was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. Ling Qingwan had just finished washing up and was sitting on the couch, asking Qiao'er to help wipe her hair.
"There's new news from Ling Chuchu's side." Mingyue told Ling Qingwan.
"Tell me about it."
Ling Qingwan raised her eyebrows.
She hadn't heard from Ling Chuchu for a few days.
"Ling Chuchu has been secretly dating the son of Marquis Yong'en recently." Mingyue replied.
"An Congshan?" Ling Qingwan was a little surprised.
She hadn't remembered this person for a long time.
In the previous life, An Congshan pursued Ling Chuchu for a long time, but to no avail. In the end, Ling Chuchu married Song Zhiqing and became the Crown Princess.
And An Congshan had never caught Ling Chuchu's attention from beginning to end.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Ling Chuchu and An Congshan got in touch.
"How come I have never heard of this person?" Qiao'er wondered. "Could it be that Ling Chuchu is hooking up with the son of Marquis Yong'en?"
"The son of Marquis Yong'en likes Ling Chuchu very much." Ling Qingwan chuckled.
It seems that Ling Chuchu is really good at dealing with people.
"I understand!" Qiao'er suddenly realized.
"Ling Chuchu wants to take advantage of the love of the young master of the Yongen Marquis's mansion to climb back up the social ladder!"
"It's not impossible." Ling Qingwan took a sip of tea.
Ling Chuchu would not give up, she had already guessed this, otherwise she would not have sent Mingyue to monitor Ling Chuchu privately.
Therefore, when Mingyue brought back this news, Ling Qingwan felt that it was expected and was not surprised.
"This Ling Chuchu! How can she be so greedy! She has lost everything, yet she still wants to take more!" Qiao'er was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Qiao'er saw how Ling Chuchu bullied Ling Qingwan in the past two years.
I thought Ling Chuchu would calm down after all these things, but I didn't expect her to still be stubborn.
"It's precisely because you have lost everything that you want to take something back from me."
Ling Qingwan's lips curled up slightly.
If she didn't understand Ling Chuchu, then her previous life would have been lived in vain.
In response, Ling Qingwan did not take action immediately, but asked Mingyue to continue watching.
At this time, there was a wooden house on the outskirts of the city.
The man in black sat up straight in his chair.
There was only one candle lit in the room, and the light was dim, so one could only vaguely see the scene inside the room.
After a long time, the door creaked open and a man came in from outside.
"Is there no movement over there at Manxing?"
Ye Yun had expected this.
The man nodded.
"It's okay. The plan I have over there has already been implemented. It won't be long before Manxing will send people back to help me." Ye Yun said in a low voice, looking confident.
"Go down first." Ye Yun ordered.
The man left.
The house instantly returned to silence.
Looking at the empty and dilapidated scene around him, Ye Yun clenched his hands into fists.
Why.
Why is it that one of them is about to become a princess, and the other is a famous young talent in the city? And he, who is also a son of the Ling family, can only hide in this dark place, unable to see the light of day.
Ye Yun refused to accept.
That night.
It was getting late, and Ling Qingwan was getting ready to go to bed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Ling Qingwan was puzzled.
At this time, it couldn't be Ling Xiao or Qiao Er. But if it was Wei Xun, he would just come in directly without knocking.
"It's your subordinate, Miss Ling."
Wei Yi opened his mouth and told Ling Qingwan in a gentle voice.
Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Ling Qingwan immediately opened the door.
"Miss Ling, the prince was temporarily called into the palace by the emperor to handle government affairs and is unable to come to see you. He specially sent his subordinates to deliver the calming incense and said that it must be lit for you." Wei Yi said.
Ling Qingwan lowered her eyes and glanced at the incense in Wei Yi's hand.
Finally, she nodded.
Wei Yi got the signal and entered the room.
He left only after lighting the calming incense.
The room was soon filled with a faint fragrance, the scent of orchids that Ling Qingwan loved the most. Thinking that the tranquilizing incense was sent by Wei Xun, Ling Qingwan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Ling Qingwan went to bed, ready to fall asleep with the scent of orchids.
But after a while, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.
Ling Qingwan's mind was full of thoughts about what had happened during this period.
Before, Ling Chuchu was famous in the city for stealing, and Song Zhicheng should have broken off the engagement with her, but he didn't. Later, Hong Guang's evil deeds were exposed, and Ling Chuchu was kicked out of the house, but Song Zhicheng still dragged his feet and finally broke off the engagement with Ling Chuchu.
Ling Qingwan knew very well that the reason Song Zhicheng was able to get engaged to Ling Chuchu was because Ling Chuchu was useful to him.
There are only two reasons why he suddenly wanted to cancel the engagement.
First, Ling Chuchu was a useless chess piece to him, and there was no use for her. Second, he had already climbed up to the power behind Ling Chuchu.
Ling Qingwan didn't dare to draw conclusions on her own.
But if Song Zhicheng gets in touch with the power behind Ling Chuchu, then the person he will have to deal with next is...
Song Zhiqing and Wei Xun!
Ling Qingwan didn't care about Song Zhiqing, she was afraid that Wei Xun would be in danger.
Although Wei Xun was not the emperor's son, because his mother died young, the emperor had always raised him as his own son, treating him just like the princes and princesses. Moreover, his prestige in the court even exceeded that of several princes of the same age.
More importantly, it was Wei Xun's idea that Song Zhicheng was transferred to Taizhou. According to Song Zhicheng's temperament, he would definitely keep it in mind. As long as there is a chance, he will definitely suppress and retaliate against Wei Xun.
The more Ling Qingwan thought about it, the more scared she became.
In the past two years, she has been fighting with Ling Chuchu and Ye Yun, and has no chance to participate in the struggle for power. Ling Qingwan is afraid that she can't help Wei Xun, and can only watch Wei Xun fall into danger...
Before she knew it, a night had passed. Ling Qingwan fell asleep and woke up again and again, and did not sleep well at all.
When he got up, he saw two bruises under his eyes and he looked more tired than usual.
Ling Xiao saw it all and thought that Ling Qingwan had encountered some trouble at the prince's birthday banquet yesterday.
