After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 168 Obediently Leave This Place

Upon hearing this, the servant swallowed nervously and whispered.

“My master said that this was probably done by Prince Jing.”

"Prince Jing?"

Song Yunming narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with a chill, "Explain in detail."

Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly replied, "My master recently accompanied the princess to the palace and happened to see a portrait of Prince Jing. He was shocked to discover that Prince Jing looks remarkably similar to his third brother!"

"This third brother was originally the eldest son of the Xie family's concubine. He was only recognized and brought back to the Xie family a little over a year ago. At that time, he was seriously ill and had been staying in the mansion. After my master saw the portrait of Prince Jing, he felt it was very strange, so he inquired about Prince Jing's name and found out that Prince Jing's name was Song Jinglan, and his third brother was called Xie Jinglan!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yunming's expression changed drastically, and the servant cautiously observed his expression before quickly bowing his head and adding something else.

"Therefore, my master suspects that Xie Jinglan is actually Prince Jing in disguise. Since Your Highness is investigating the treasure in Jiang Yuyue's possession, if there really is such an item, then Prince Jing has been lying low in the Xie family for so long, most likely because he is after this treasure!"

Song Yunming's gaze was deep, and he did indeed recall that the Xie family had such a mistress.

I had only heard that this person was nearing the end of his life, so I never paid any attention. I never imagined that he might actually be Prince Jing in disguise!

Song Yunming asked in a deep voice, "Where is this person now?"

The servant trembled again upon hearing this, "Your Highness, when the Jiang family was engulfed in flames, Xie Jinglan was also in the mansion. He was probably burned to ashes along with the Jiang family..."

"absurd!"

Song Yunming's expression grew increasingly gloomy. His imperial uncle, Song Jinglan, was so cunning; how could he possibly lose his life as easily as the Jiang family?

If he were really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't have been able to shake his position in the slightest despite all the effort I've put in over the years!

"died?"

Song Yunming scoffed, his eyes sweeping mockingly over the servant. "The reason I personally went to Jinling this time is because someone saw Prince Jing here with their own eyes, but your master says that Prince Jing has already been buried with the Jiang family. Tell me, who should I believe?"

The servant was speechless upon hearing this, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He stammered, unsure how to respond, but Song Yunming had lost his patience.

"Xie Yunqi has some nerve! He had such news but only came to inform me now."

A murderous glint flashed in Song Yunming's eyes. "Guards!"

"exist."

A guard immediately stepped forward, speaking respectfully.

“Cut off this dog's head and send it back to the princess’s residence.”

Song Yunming's gaze was icy as he said, word by word, "Tell Xie Yunqi that if he dares to hide anything from me again, he will be next."

"Yes!"

The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward and dragged the servant away, who was so frightened that he cried and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!"

As the pleas faded into the distance, Song Yunming stood there, his anger still burning, his fists unconsciously clenching tighter.

Recalling what the servant had just said, and how confidently he had spoken, coupled with the fact that even if Xie Yunqi had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to claim that Prince Jing was his half-brother, Song Yunming couldn't help but feel somewhat agitated.

Unexpectedly, his royal uncle had been planning to seize that treasure for a year.

But he absolutely refused to believe that Song Jinglan was dead.

"Someone is coming."

Song Yunming said coldly, "Tell those idiots below that if they can't find him within three days, they can bring their heads to me."

"Yes!"

As luck would have it, just as Song Yunming was feeling anxious, he went to the inn’s front hall for a drink as usual, and unexpectedly received some incredible news from a customer.

"Yesterday, seeing that the weather was nice, I decided to go to Wanfu Temple on the outskirts of Nanjing for a spring outing and to offer incense."

The man's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he complained, "Who knew that after I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, those monks would stop me from entering! They said that some important person was staying here, and the entire temple was closed to visitors!"

He became increasingly indignant when this was mentioned, "It's infuriating! How can they abuse such privileges right in front of Buddha? Didn't Buddha say that all beings are equal? ​​How come just because there are nobles, ordinary people are not allowed to offer incense?!"

These words sent a chill down Song Yunming's spine.

He searched everywhere for Prince Jing but couldn't find him. Could he be hiding in this damned Wanfu Temple?

Although there was no concrete evidence, Song Yunming, with the mindset of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," immediately led his men to Wanfu Temple, which led to this scene.

Jiang Yuyue, who was in the west wing, saw someone rushing over and guessed that it must be Prince Ning.

After all, Song Yunming's arrival here was not due to any premonition; the news that a "noble person" was staying at Wanfu Temple was deliberately leaked to him by Jiang Yuyue.

Jiang Yuyue deliberately lured Prince Ning here not to frame Prince Jing, but to see if Prince Jing was as powerful as rumored. Since they were going to cooperate, she naturally wanted to test Prince Jing's strength. If he couldn't even handle this kind of situation, then he was just a figurehead.

Of course, Jiang Yuyue certainly hoped that Prince Jing would be superior.

Upon hearing this news, Xie Jinglan immediately stood up, his eyes sharp, and said in a deep voice, "You are currently being pursued by enemies. I will send someone to escort you away first, and we will discuss this in detail later."

Jiang Yuyue had originally intended to sit back and watch the fight unfold. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and immediately said, "Your Highness need not worry about me. I can simply find a place to hide. There is no need for Your Highness to trouble yourself."

"concern?"

Xie Jinglan responded as if he had heard a joke, his tone icy and mocking, "You're overthinking it. I haven't gotten the treasure from you yet, so naturally I have to protect your life. If something happens to you, wouldn't the treasure disappear without a trace again?"

"If you still want to avenge your family, then you'd better leave here."

There was an unquestionable air about his words. Xie Jinglan gave him a look, and Yueying immediately understood. She quickly walked to Jiang Yuyue's side and made a "please" gesture.

"Please come with me, young lady."

With Prince Jing's words, Jiang Yuyue naturally could no longer insist, and had no choice but to leave with Yueying through the temple's secret door.

Escorted by Yueying, the shadow of Wanfu Temple gradually receded into the distance. Jiang Yuyue glanced back and looked at the large group of people surrounding Wanfu Temple. Her eyelids twitched uncomfortably.

It seems that Prince Ning and Prince Jing are really going to fight to the death, as they have prepared so many troops!

Jiang Yuyue lured Prince Ning here to watch a good show, so it would be a pity if she left now.
