Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Cheng was very dissatisfied with Qin Canglan’s actions of beating up his precious son-in-law. His face immediately darkened, indicating that the relationship he had built yesterday had disappeared.

Qin Canglan clenched his fists. He was Su Cheng’s biological father!

When Steward Cen came to Pear Blossom Alley to pick Qin Canglan up, Qin Canglan was already so angry that he was autistic. He sat alone on the steps gloomily, like a lonely old man who had been abandoned. “Old Master?” Steward Cen waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Qin Canglan said, “I’m not blind.”

Steward Cen lowered his hand. “Alright, you’re getting into the carriage?”

Qin Canglan got into the carriage with a dark expression.

Steward Cen got into the carriage behind him and looked at him in confusion.

“What are you…”

Qin Canglan told him about seeing Wei Ting. “…That rascal from the Wei family! ”

Steward Cen was stunned. “You mean… Eldest Miss’s husband in the countryside is the youngest son of the Wei family? Eldest Miss was married last December. At that time, wasn’t the youngest son of the Wei family cultivating at the Dragon Temple?”

Qin Canglan snorted coldly. “Heh, cultivation was a cover. He went to Qingzhou!”

Qin Canglan had already learned from Su Ergou about her granddaughter’s marriage. Wei Ting was injured and was captured by Su Cheng to become a live-in son-in-law.

The family still did not know Wei Ting’s true identity.

Steward Cen muttered, “This family… is really ambitious. For a son-in-law they picked up to come to the capital, have they never suspected that Wei Ting might have some impressive identity? Does Missy not know?”

“I didn’t ask her.”

Su Xiaoxiao was sick, so Qin Canglan couldn’t bear to interrogate her and came out first.

Qin Canglan clenched his fists. “I will never agree to this marriage!”

Steward Cen coughed lightly. “Well, I think… you should acknowledge them first. In his heart, his son-in-law seems to be more important than you.”

Qin Canglan said, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”

On the other hand, Emperor Jing Xuan had a headache for two days over the matter of the Protectorate.

No matter what, he was still a future relative of the emperor. Did he have to make such a big deal out of it?

However, since Qin Canglan was so determined, Emperor Jing Xuan could not pretend to be confused.

Emperor Jing Xuan gave Qin Che a new name—Qin Jiang.

Qin Che’s name had been taken back. When Su Cheng entered the palace,

Emperor Jing Xuan would give him Qin Che’s identity, the golden seal, and the token of the Protector of the State.

Of course, there were some details, such as Qin Jiang’s punishment, that could not be rushed.

After all, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Even if he took into account the relationship between the previous emperor and Qin Feng,

However, while he could avoid death, he could not escape punishment.

Whether he would be fired or demoted, Emperor Jing Xuan had to consider carefully.

At the Protector’s Estate.

Qin Che… should be called Qin Jiang now.

Ever since he was chased out of the main courtyard, Qin Jiang had moved into the Qingfeng Pavilion, which was very far away from Qin Canglan’s courtyard.

That was once the courtyard Qin Feng used to practice martial arts.

It could not be said to be very old, but it was indeed a little in disrepair.

His background spread throughout the residence. In the past, those servants who curried favor with him hid far away.

“Why didn’t you leave?”

He sat in the dark house and looked at Xu Qing, who was carrying a food box.

Xu Qing said, “As I said, my life was given to me by the High Duke. I’ll be loyal to him for the rest of my life.”

Qin Jiang smiled. “I’m no longer the High Duke.” Xu Qing said, “You’re still my master.”

“Put it on the table,” Qin Jiang said.

Xu Qing placed the chicken soup he had bought from outside on the table.

Qin Jiang mocked, “After this matter, I can be considered to have seen a lot. I’m the Protector Duke and the master of the entire mansion. But how could Qin Canglan easily cripple me with just a word?”

“Why?” Xu Qing asked.

Qin Jiang sneered. “Because I don’t have any real power. To be precise, I have military power. The old man is so sinister. On the surface, he passed the position of Protector of the State to me, but in fact, he still has military power firmly in his hands. I’m just a target he pushed out and made everyone transfer their hatred to me.”

Xu Qing said, “I don’t think Old Master thinks that way.”

Qin Jiang said sinisterly, “Heh, but he did it!”

Xu Qing stopped talking.

Qin Jiang opened the food box. “It’s fine. It’s good to see it clearly earlier. Have you found out the information I asked you to find out?”

Xu Qing said, “I found out.”

After Xu Qing finished reporting in detail, Qin Jiang pondered for a long time before throwing his head back and laughing. “I see… Qin Canglan… You didn’t expect this, did you… The heavens didn’t kill me… the heavens didn’t kill me…”

At Qi Xiang Palace, Consort Xian was sitting in front of the window and reading the poetry collection.

She felt dizzy from reading.

If she wanted to gain a foothold in the harem, she could not depend on only her looks and background. She had to know how to manage her image. Consort Xian’s image was that of a talented woman with a scholarly aura.

“I’m so sleepy.”

Consort Xian threw the poetry book on the table in disdain.

After a while, Liu Sande rushed over and whispered into Concubine Xian’s ear.

Consort Xian’s expression changed. “Really?”

Liu Sande handed her the note. “Your Highness, please take a look.”

After reading it, Consort Xian’s expression changed. She crumpled the note into a ball and said with a solemn expression, “Go out of the palace and meet this Xu Qing!”

Liu Sande agreed. “Yes!”

Consort Xian reminded, “Be careful not to be discovered.”

Liu Sande said, “I will be careful.”

xu Qing waited outside tne palace.

As soon as Liu Sande’s carriage left the palace, Xu Qing flashed in. He was so fast that Liu Sande could only see an afterimage.

“Continue driving,” Xu Qing said to Liu Sande through the curtain.

Liu Sande calmly looked at the patrolling imperial guards walking towards him and secretly broke out in cold sweat.

“Are you… Mr. Qin’s men?”

Xu Qing was too fast. Liu Sande really couldn’t see his face clearly.

Xu Qing went straight to the point. “My master asked me to bring a few words to Concubine Xian. The eldest daughter of the common people has married, and her husband is Wei Ting. If Concubine Xian doesn’t want the military power of the Qin and Su families to fall into the hands of the Wei family, my lord is willing to help her!”

Liu Sande’s hair stood on end!

Heavens!

What shocking secret had he heard?

The real daughter of the Qin family was actually involved with the youngest son of the Wei family!

Wasn’t the youngest son of the Wei family a monk?

Why did he go to Qingzhou… and abduct the eldest daughter of the Qin family?

“That…” Liu Sande turned around, wanting to ask Xu Qing a few more questions, but there was already no one in the carriage!

He was stunned.

Qin Jiang actually had such an expert by his side!

Liu Sande did not dare to delay. He bought a box of snacks from a nearby market and returned to the palace.

He relayed what Xu Qing had said.

Consort Xian could not remain calm anymore. She stood up and clenched her handkerchief, her beautiful eyes flashing with anger.

Damn Wei Ting!

Instead of her precious daughter, he went to marry a fat girl from the countryside!

Did he want to obtain the military power of the Qin and Su families?

Dream on!
