Chapter 184: To Trample On Marquis Ling
The General's Little Peasant Wife
Translator: Vesper
Xiao Qi Tian held a horsewhip in his hand and tapped his foot every once in a while, his face becoming colder.
Ling Luo was initially accompanying Xiao Zi Xuan in the yard, when suddenly he heard the servants saying that Prince Qi was here, he frowned.
He took a look at Xiao Zi Xuan, then led the servants out. Outside, he saw a pile of corpses in black night suit on the ground. His expression changed instantly, especially after seeing one of them.... Wasnât that...
âPrince Qi, what is the meaning of this?â
âWhat do you mean? Call that Marquis Ling to come out this instant, or else Iâll get rid of your residence.â Xiao Qi Tian Yu looked gloomly at Ling Luo.
Ling Luoâs face became ugly, he wrinkled his eyebrows unhappily and asked: âWhat the heck do you mean?â
âWhat do I mean? These are the people from your residence, am I wrong?â Xiao Qi Tian sneered, staring at Ling Luo with his eyes full of ridicule.
Ling Luo took a breath, he had a bad feeling.
âI donât understand what you mean.â
âDonât understand? Lei An, start killing. Whoever dares to stop us, donât let them live.â Since that ignorant fool didnât want to come out, then he wasnât going to be polite.
Lei An grinned and waved his hand. The people behind him rushed into the residence, creating chaos inside. They were here to cause trouble today.
He dared to trouble their sister-in-law, well, then he should first see if they could be patient with his actions or not!
âAll of you stop!â Ling Luoâs face turned purple, as he tried to stop Lei An and the rest.
When Marquis Ling rushed back, the place was already in a mess.
âWhatâs the meaning of this, Your Highness, Prince Qi?â Marquess Ling suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.
Xiao Qi Tian waved at Lei An and the other men. They stopped and walked behind Xiao Qi Tian: âWhatâs the matter? Your people in the residence dare to assassinate me. May I know who gave them such a courage?â
Xiao Qi Tian kicked a corpse on the ground to Marquis Ling.
Seeing that familiar face of the corpse, Marquis Ling twitched: âThis is definitely someone trying to shift the blame onto me.â
âBlame you? If Iâm not mistaken, this person is an imperial guard that was assigned to you? That means he only listens to your command, whoâs trying to push the blame you? Marquis Ling, do you think Iâm an idiot?â Xiao Qi Tian sneered aloud: âSince you said that you arenât to be blamed, then letâs talk about it in front of the Emperor. Lei An, bring the bodies, weâre going to the palace.â If he didnât teach Marquis Ling a lesson today, that would be letting him off too easily.
Marquis Ling didnât respond for some time. When he came back to reality, Xiao Qi Tian had already left with Lei An, the other men, and the corpses. They were really going to the palace.
âLuoâer, my child, whatâs really going on?â
Ling Luo shook his head: âI donât know.â He was still in a daze. Why would we attempt to assassinate Xiao Qi Tian? That would be the same as looking for death!
âNo matter what, we better go to the palace quickly.â Marquis Ling said urgently.
The Emperor and Prince Qi were brothers of the same mother so they were quite close to each other. If the Emperor knew that people in Ling Residence had attempted assassination on the Prince, then whether it was true or not, he would definitely not let them off easily.
The two of them left in a hurry, but they didnât manage to catch up with Xiao Qi Tian.
Upon seeing his younger brother rushed in angrily, Xiao Qi Feng questioned: âWhat happened? Why are you so mad?â
âEmperor Brother, Marquis Lingâs residence actually sent people to assassinate me.â The thought of it angered Xiao Qi Tian.
Xiao Qi Feng frowned: âWhat the heck is going on?â
Wasnât he at Tian Changâs place? Why would an assassination take place there?
âThey werenât actually after me. They were after Meng Yao, but Ling Luo knew that I was there.â The more Xiao Qi Tian thought about it, the angrier he got. That darned person was seriously looking for trouble.
Xiao Qi Feng became more confused: âHow is she involved again?â
Xiao Qi Tian explained about the situation between Ning Meng Yao and Ling Luo, and that there was a high chance that the order for the assasination must have come from Xiao Zi Xuan. He was just using this case as an excuse.
Xiao Qi Feng squinted his eyes slightly. No matter who started it, Ning Meng Yao wasnât simply Qiao Tian Changâs wife anymore. She was the owner of Tong Bao Zhai. If anything happened to her, those in the Tong Bao Zhai would definitely not rest.
