Hearing this, Lu Qiong stood up suddenly.

A slap hit Xu Lingmiao's face hard.

"You bitch, I knew this matter had to do with you!"

"Cousin girl!"

Du Yishan looked shocked and immediately went over to protect the person in his arms.

Seeing the redness and swelling on Xu Lingmiao's face, his eyes were filled with distress.

He turned around and kept kowtowing to Lu Qiong.

"Madam, it's all me! It's my cousin, my cousin. I know she has always wanted to clear her son's name. In order to please her, I did this without permission!

All this is my own decision, please let my cousin go! "

Shen Ruoxi looked at the two of them from the side with a slightly restrained expression.

Unexpectedly, Du Yishan was sincerely devoted to Xu Lingmiao.

But, what about the other party?

Xu Lingmiao knelt on the ground, not looking at Du Yishan who was knocking his head to the side and bleeding.

Instead, he looked blankly at Qin Wenyan aside.

The eleven-year-old boy stood aside and looked at all this, his face pale.

He looked at Xu Lingmiao in disbelief.

"Mom, all of this...is true?"

Did she really seduce this humble man, stay together and do these things?

Xu Lingmiao's eyes flickered, and a look of shame appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Qin Wenyan took a step back, his eyes instantly turning red.

Lu Qiong said sharply.

"Du Yishan and Xu Lingmiao are colluding and trying to harm the crown prince. Send them to Dali Temple for severe interrogation!"

Hearing this, Du Yishan was even more panicked.

"Madam, Madam, please spare Miss Biao's life! All this is my own initiative, it's me!"

"lady!"

Qin Wenyan also knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "I know that my mother has committed a serious crime. Madam, I am willing to take the blame for my mother. Please let my mother go!"

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing.

"Classical Chinese..."

Xu Lingmiao pulled him in and held him in her arms.

She bit her lip and tears flowed down silently.

"Mom, I'm sorry for you. It's your fault..."

It's her fault.

She shouldn't have crawled into bed while the Marquis was drunk, leaving her son to be a shady illegitimate child for the rest of his life!

She feels sorry for Qin Wenyan!

and so……

Let her atone for her sins!

"It's my mother's fault, I will bear it myself..."

"No, I grew up with my mother. Over the years, she has been caring and considerate to me. She loves and protects me. In the winter, she would wear the soles of my shoes when my hands were frozen and I got sores. In the summer, she would stay up all night for fear of mosquito bites. Use your fan to cool me down, you are the best mother in the world..."

Qin Wenyan's voice was choked.

The mother and son hugged each other and burst into tears.

Lu Qiong frowned, her expression cold.

If you know today, why should you be in the beginning.

Can Xu Lingmiao plot against her son for the sake of her own?

"Mother."

Qin Chengxuan said: "Save Xu's life."

Lu Qiong frowned.

"Chengxuan?"

Qin Chengxuan said nothing, but his eyes fell on Qin Wenyan beside him.

No matter what, Qin Wenyan is innocent.

He is a shady illegitimate son of the Hou family. He has no father. His biggest support is Xu Lingmiao.

If Xu Lingmiao died, he would really be alone from now on.

"Sir!"

Qin Wenyan looked happy.

He quickly kowtowed towards Qin Chengxuan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

With that said, he tidied Xu Lingmiao's messy hair in surprise.

"Mom, that's great..."

"Sir..."

Xu Lingmiao turned her head and looked at Qin Chengxuan, her eyes full of guilt and gratitude.

She couldn't help but wipe her tears with her hands.

Lu Qiong flicked his sleeves.

"Du Yishan intended to murder the prince, and he should be punished for his crime! Luo Bao, take him down, let him write a confession, and take him to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal! As for the Xu family, take him to the backyard first, and then talk about it later."

Du Yishan's lips trembled, and when he heard that Xu Lingmiao could save his life, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

He quickly kowtowed to Lu Qiong.

"Thank you, madam, thank you madam! I plead guilty, I plead guilty to everything!"

As long as Xu Lingmiao can be spared, it doesn't matter if he dies.

After Du Yishan was dragged down, Xu Lingmiao was also locked in the woodshed in the backyard.

After the incident was over, Lu Qiong turned to look at Shen Ruoxi.

"Miss Shen, such dirty things happened in the house, making you laugh."

"Madam's methods are thunderous, Ruoxi admires her."

Shen Ruoxi said slowly: "I am also responsible for this matter. If I come here in person, the prince will not have to suffer this."

"In other words, the Hou Mansion's lax discipline allowed people with bad intentions to take advantage of the loopholes. Fortunately, you came here today to save everything."

Lu Qiong sighed, then looked at Shen Ruoxi carefully, and suddenly smiled.

"Miss Shen, I have something to say. It may be a bit sudden when I say it."

"Ma'am, just ask."

"Miss Shen, if you are willing... I would like to adopt you as my adopted daughter, and Chengxuan will be your brother in the future, how about that?"

She held Shen Ruoxi's hand affectionately.

"To be honest, after these few contacts with you, I feel that I am very close to you. If you are willing, I will have an extra daughter, and you will be free from criticism when entering or leaving the Marquis Mansion in the future."

After the words fell, Qin Chengxuan said immediately without waiting for Shen Ruoxi to respond.

"No."

He said: "Mother, Miss Shen is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. She already has two brothers, not me."

Lu Qiong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's because I was abrupt, Miss Shen, just pretend that I never mentioned this matter."

Shen Ruoxi: "Madam, if you feel that you are destined to me, you can call me Ruoxi."

"Okay... Ruoxi."

Qin Chengxuan said suddenly.

"Then...can I just call you by your name?"

Shen Ruoxi looked calm.

"The Crown Prince and I also hit it off like old friends for many years. It seems that the Crown Prince also thinks the same way. Since the Crown Prince regards me as a friend, it is normal for him to call me by my name."

Friends?

Qin Chengxuan felt a little bitter in his heart.

Then he said: "Shen... Ruoxi, did you still like the pine smoke ink I gave you last time?"

He specifically inquired and heard that Shen Ruoxi liked painting when she was in the pavilion.

He gave her the ink he had collected.

That ink is royal ink, which is extremely rare.

Shen Ruoxi said: "The prince gave me a very good gift of ink, but it's a pity that I seldom do painting now and really don't have any use for it, so I gave it to my second brother. He is very precious to me. I thank the prince for him."

Did she give it to Shen Che?

Qin Chengxuan was a little disappointed, but still smiled.

"nice! You love it."

Shen Ruoxi said: "Your Majesty's legs are fine. You should rest more. Madam has to deal with household matters, so I won't bother you."

After bowing, Shen Ruoxi took Tao Ye and Leng Shuang and left.

After the others left, Lu Qiong turned around.

She looked at Qin Chengxuan with surprise in her eyes.

"Chengxuan, you shouldn't treat Shen Ruoxi..."
