Her Power and Favor Span the World

Chapter 91

The "solidarity" of Jinghou Mansion aroused the rebellious and violent aura in the depths of Yuan Qingling's heart.

"I'll count to three, get out of the way!" Yuan Qingling stared coldly at Mrs. Luan.

Mrs. Luan chuckled lightly, "I really can't get out of the way, in case the Princess impulsively startles the Old Madam who is sick in bed."

Counting to three, how childish.

Yuan Qingling stared at her, "One..."

With a push of both hands, Mrs. Luan stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Sorry to offend you!" Yuan Qingling strode away quickly.

"Oh, the Princess hit me, the Princess hit me!" Mrs. Luan cried out painfully and shrieked loudly on the ground, attracting the mansion's servants to come and watch.

Yuan Qingling stopped in her tracks, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and strode back.

Mrs. Luan cried, "This is unjust! After all, I'm your aunt-in-law. How could you hit me? Just because you're the Princess you think you're superior?"

Yuan Qingling leaned down and sneered coldly, "Auntie, I advise you to shut your mouth tight. Even the two Madams didn't dare stop me today, yet you insisted on sticking your head out as the ringleader."

"What...what do you mean?" Mrs. Luan immediately stopped crying, and couldn't squeeze out a single tear however hard she tried.

"Usually when I come home, I have to ask the Prince repeatedly for instructions. But now I can go wherever I want. What do you say?" Yuan Qingling said gloomily.

Mrs. Luan was startled, "Don't bluff me. The Prince doesn't care about you at all. You were just putting on an act of a loving couple for us to see that day." It was precisely because they acted like a loving couple that day that it made people suspicious.

"Even if it was an act, the Prince had to be willing to act with me."

Mrs. Luan thought it was very likely. Yuan Qingling had been timid and cautious when she returned before, but this time she was very confident.

She didn't dare to make a sound, and could only watch Yuan Qingling stride away quickly.

Yuan Qingling went to the Old Madam's room. The Old Madam was indeed quite ill and was sleeping, but very restless, with a pale face.

Granny Sun pulled Yuan Qingling out and whispered, "Don't disturb her. She didn't sleep all night last night and coughed all night."

"What about the medicine I gave? Didn't you give it to Grandmother?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Granny Sun sighed, "It was thrown away."

"Thrown away? Why was it thrown away?" Yuan Qingling was puzzled.

"The Second Madam threw it away. She said she would take it to a doctor to see what kind of medicine it was. But after taking it away, she never brought it back." Granny Sun said angrily.

"Why did she do that?" Yuan Qingling really didn't understand. The medicine worked and she had told Granny Sun and Grandmother that it was medicine from the palace. Why did the Second Madam take it away to let a doctor examine the palace medicine?

Granny Sun angrily said, "Why else? She was afraid the Old Madam would get better and seize power from her."

Power, again power.

Yuan Qingling hated that word to the bone.

"Tomorrow I will have someone bring more medicine, but this time you have to hide it. Don't let her take it away and throw it out." Yuan Qingling said.

"This old servant understands. By the way, did the Princess come back this time for Second Miss's marriage?" Granny Sun asked.

"You know too? Does Grandmother know too?"

Granny Sun shook her head, "I didn't dare tell her. She would get anxious and have a flare up if she knew. She can't handle it in her current condition. Princess, you must not tell her."

Yuan Qingling nodded helplessly, "I know."

The Old Madam didn't wake up before Yuan Qingling left. It seemed the Old Madam couldn't be of much help. She had made a fruitless trip today, but hopefully there would be good news from Eldest Brother's side.

Clearly not.

Not long after Yuan Qingling returned to the Prince's mansion, she heard that Yuan Lunwen had come.

Looking at his face, the fair and delicate face had several finger marks on it, and half of his cheek was swollen. As a military officer, Shouhou could take half a person's head off with one slap.

Yuan Lunwen was very angry but also very helpless. He said to Yuan Qingling, "Father wouldn't listen to me about this matter. He insisted on marrying Second Sister to the Chu family to curry favor with them."

Yuan Qingling sighed lightly and ordered Lv Ya, "Go to the ice cellar and bring me a block of ice wrapped in a towel."

Lv Ya went to fetch it. Soon she brought back the ice and Yuan Qingling wrapped it in a towel to press on Yuan Lunwen's face.

Yuan Lunwen looked at Yuan Qingling, "Eldest sister, do you have any other way? Can you ask the Prince?"

"I asked already. That dead man refused." Yuan Qingling said.

Yuan Lunwen gasped, "Eldest sister, don't talk about the Prince like that. The Prince is a good man."

"With which eye did you see he's a good man?" Yuan Qingling said impatiently. Could it be he also wanted to rely on the King of Chu?

"The Prince fought for the country without striving or contending. How is he not good?" Yuan Lunwen glanced at her lightly. "If you say he didn't treat you well, you brought it upon yourself and made the Prince suffer."

Yes, this was her original sin that she could never wash away.

Yuan Qingling changed the subject, "Is this Marquis of Huiding really so bad?"

How thick-skinned must someone be to still shamelessly live in this world after being so thoroughly despicable?

"I don't know for sure, but rumors say he beat his Third Madam to death, and he has a lust for women. Any village girl or woman of low status who caught his eye would be abducted by him, it's just a pity there is no evidence."

Yuan Qingling's heart stirred.

"What kind of women would catch his eye?"

Yuan Lunwen said, "Naturally beautiful women. But I heard he also likes men. If a woman looks heroic, that would be just what he likes."

Yuan Qingling put down the ice pack, lost in thought as she asked, "If there was evidence, or he was caught red-handed, I'm afraid he couldn't escape then, right?"

Yuan Lunwen pointed to his face, "Keep going, it feels really good."

Yuan Qingling responded absently, "Brother, what would the punishment be if he tried to dishonor the current Princess?"

Yuan Lunwen sneered coldly, "The crime would be huge. To dishonor the Princess, even considering his past military merits, he would at least be exiled. If strictly prosecuted, the death penalty would not be excessive."

After Yuan Lunwen finished speaking, he suddenly glared at her, "What are you trying to do?"

"Me? I was just casually asking." Yuan Qingling waved her hand. "How could I dare provoke him?"

Yuan Lunwen said solemnly, "You absolutely must not act recklessly."

"I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm timid." Yuan Qingling shrank away to avoid his gaze. "Most importantly, my relationship with Second Sister is not to the point I would take risks for her."

Not for Yuan Ping's sake, but who knows how many more women would suffer if this man was not eliminated.

Yuan Qingling had no intention of posing as a justice angel, but thinking of the women who had suffered harm from him, waves of anger surged in her heart.

In everyone's heart resides a hero; she was no exception.

But she knew she could not rashly provoke the Marquis of Huiding. No venture, no gain. Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing dejectedly. If only she had superb martial arts.

But once this thought sprouted, it seemed to take root and grow rapidly in her heart.

She decided to carefully scheme.

With her extremely high IQ, there was no reason she couldn't outwit a martial arts brute.
