Chapter 120 Consort Liang Comes to Find Trouble
Without hesitation, Lan Zhi calmly stepped forward and helped Ling Jiawei up.
“A servant? He’s not a servant. He’s my elder brother. If Consort Liang doesn’t recognize him, I can introduce him to you properly.”
Seeing that Lan Zhi and Liang Fei were arguing because of her, Ling Jiawei quickly pulled Lan Zhi away.
“I did make a mistake, so don’t blame Consort Liang for punishing me. You go inside first and don’t worry about me.”
"Shut up."
Lan Zhi turned her head to look at him.
“Ling Jiawei, from the moment you stepped into the Crown Prince’s residence, I will be responsible for everything about you. Even if you are not my elder brother, no one can bully you in front of me. That is tantamount to shitting on my head.”
Ling Jiawei wasn't stupid; he understood what Lan Zhi meant. He pursed his lips, took a few steps back nervously, and then Lan Zhi raised her eyebrows to look at Consort Liang.
"Did Consort Liang come to the Crown Prince's residence today deliberately to cause trouble?"
"Hmph! I'm very busy and don't have time to bother you. I'm here today..."
"Then why was Ling Jiawei made to kneel down and be punished as soon as he entered the hospital? What did he do wrong? What punishment did he deserve?"
Before Consort Liang could finish speaking, Lan Zhi interrupted her.
She didn't want to bring up the matter of bullying her older brother anymore; she disagreed.
Consort Liang, with a cold face, gave a faint snort.
"He caused trouble in Shuntian Prefecture, injuring everyone there and utterly disgracing me. Shouldn't I punish him?"
“If that’s the reason, Consort Liang shouldn’t punish him. She should punish me and Princess Yujie. It was Princess Yujie and me who beat people up and caused trouble in Shuntian Prefecture.”
Yu Jie also stepped forward at this moment and replied loudly:
"Yes, those bastards bullied Brother Ling, so what's wrong with Lan Zhi and me teaching them a lesson? This time was too lenient. If I see them again, I'll beat them up every time."
Consort Liang could bully Ling Jiawei and ridicule Lan Zhi, but she couldn't be indifferent to Yu Jie.
She was the emperor's most beloved little princess. If she suffered even the slightest grievance, she would run to the emperor to complain. No matter what she asked for, the emperor would grant her request.
Now that she has not lived in the palace for many years, she is practically a newcomer, so it's best not to provoke this troublemaker.
Thinking of this, she raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth, subtly releasing the anger that had been building up inside her. Then she pointed to a woman beside her and gestured:
"His Majesty has decreed that the royal family has few heirs and that several suitable candidates will be sent to the Crown Prince's residence. A date will be chosen for them to be appointed as primary and secondary consorts. This young lady is named Lin Yuwei. She is the apple of the eye of Censor Lin's family. From now on, she will reside temporarily in the Crown Prince's residence. When Ning'er is officially appointed, she will be appointed as the Crown Prince's consort."
Crown Princess?
Upon hearing those three words, Lan Zhi felt as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head.
She was clearly the Crown Princess, so why is Lin Yuwei here?
She immediately frowned slightly and gave Lin Yuwei a cold look.
"What does Consort Liang mean by this? The Crown Prince has already announced in public that I am his Crown Princess. Now you've brought a woman here out of nowhere. Does he agree to this?"
Consort Liang laughed, seemingly unconcerned.
"This matter is not up to him to decide..."
As she spoke, she took a few steps closer and whispered in her ear,
"Don't forget you promised me that you would leave Ning'er if I gave you a thousand taels of gold. I'm all set. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
Saying this, she turned around and glared fiercely at Ling Jiawei and Mao Mao, who was standing there at a loss, then waved her hand at Mao Mao.
"come here."
Mao Mao was a little timid; he cautiously looked at Lan Zhi.
"elder sister……"
Lan Zhi took two steps forward, took his hand, and comforted him with a gentle smile.
"With your sister here, everything's alright..."
Mao Mao then took small, quick steps to Liang Fei, who raised her hand and pinched his cheek.
"Such a cute child, we must pay more attention to safety when he plays. It would be terrible if he accidentally bumps into something and loses an arm or a leg."
Her words angered not only Lan Zhi, but also Xiang Xiu, A Qi, and several servants in the mansion.
But she is Consort Liang, and upon her return, she is said to be even more favored than the Empress. So what if she says something unpleasant?
Lan Zhi immediately stepped forward, pulled Mao Mao into her arms, and nodded sharply.
"Mao Mao, quickly thank Consort Liang for reminding you."
Although Mao Mao didn't understand the meaning behind Liang Fei's words, she knew that what she said was unpleasant to hear.
He didn't want to talk to her, but his sister made him speak, so he had no choice but to reply reluctantly:
"Thank you for the reminder, Consort Liang. I will be careful."
Consort Liang smiled smugly, and Lan Zhi, following up on Mao Mao's words, solemnly said:
"Your Highness, you are overthinking this. I will assign someone to protect Mao Mao. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on him will be made to pay with their blood."
At this point, she glanced at Lin Yuwei, trying to regain her composure and speak calmly.
"Regarding the matter of appointing a Crown Princess, the Crown Prince has already reported it to the Ministry of Revenue. On the eighth day of next month, during the Crown Prince's investiture ceremony, he will also appoint me as the Crown Princess. He has also promised me that his heart will belong to only me for the rest of his life. Has he not mentioned such an important matter to you?"
This……
Consort Liang was momentarily speechless when she was asked a question in return.
Although Wei Jianning didn't tell her this directly, she already knew about it indirectly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so eager to find a woman to send to the Crown Prince's residence. Her goal was to make Wei Jianning fall in love with Lin Yuwei, so as to control Lan Zhi.
She never expected that she would change her mind after promising to leave Wei Jianning.
She squinted at her, then suddenly smiled.
"Hahaha……"
Her smile sent a chill down Lan Zhi's spine, and everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
After laughing, she suddenly paused, looked coldly at Lan Zhi, and said in a deep voice:
"Come inside, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lan Zhi, who nodded without fear.
"it is good."
Afterwards, the two of them entered the main hall, watched by everyone.
Consort Liang did not sit down, but went straight to questioning him.
"You promised me you'd leave after getting the gold. Are you really going to break your promise? Do you want to abandon your family?"
Lan Zhi returned her gaze without any hesitation.
“I originally had this plan, but Wei Jianning told me that if I wanted to leave, he would go with me. He didn’t care about the position of Crown Prince; he only cared about me. I thought, I can’t selfishly take him away as Crown Prince; otherwise, you would be so heartbroken. So I decided to stay. As for my elder brother and younger brother, I will always stay by their side. If anyone dares to lay a finger on them, I will fight them to the death.”
Her tone was very stiff, and her expression was as cold as ice, which made Consort Liang's face turn pale in an instant.
She clenched her fist hidden in her sleeve, gritted her teeth, and groaned softly.
"He's only being grateful to you for saving his life. Do you dare to bet with me that his feelings for you aren't real?"
Lan Zhi's eyebrows twitched slightly, then she let out a cold laugh.
"Okay, how do you want to bet?"
Consort Liang narrowed her eyes, glanced towards the door, and then said sarcastically:
"I'll bet you, he'll fall in love with Lin Yuwei in a short time."
