Chapter 469

“Jingxuan…”

“Shut up!”

As Yan Shengrui just opened his mouth, Ling Jingxuan mercilessly stared him back. Withdrawing his gentleness when facing his sons, at this moment, Ling Jingxuan looked as cold as ice now, looking at his side face, Yan Shengrui felt so sorry. It was all due to his carelessness. He also had never expected that after that little girl grew up, she even dare humiliate his beloved wife!

“Bring her up!”

With his dagger eyes throwing at Steward Zhu on the side, Ling Jingxuan’s face was as cold as frost. Everything has its limit, including one’s patience. When they tried to challenge him at the wharf, he could let it go, when they even had the balls to ask him to take the side gate, for the sake of Yan Shengrui, he also let it go. But now she even dare to humiliate him in front of everyone in the mansion! If he couldn’t get her punished today, how would he be able to let others listen to him? How would he govern the whole mansion?

Today, let alone Qin Yu was only the daughter of Yan Shengrui’s nanny, even if she was daughter of His Majesty, he’d punish her! No one should plead for her!

“Jingxuan.”

Yan Shengrui opened his mouth again, at the same time, grasped Ling Jingxuan’s hand as he squeezed over to sit by his side brazenly. No matter how Ling Jingxuan struggled, he just tightly held him and wouldn’t let go, “Sorry Jingxuan. I can explain, all right?”

The nearly begging tone showed how much he cared about him. His Highness Sheng who was so domineering outside was only his man at home.

“What?”

After all, it was his beloved person, Ling Jingxuan couldn’t be so cold-hearted, it was just he still looked awful. About his nanny’s daughter, he could take with it. But those women that were kept in the mansion touched his taboo. Whether Yan Shengrui knew it or not, it was a fact there were some other women in his mansion. So, whatever the reason was, he just couldn’t stand it.

“I will begin with my nanny, and I will tell you all the rest later when you have time.”

Seeing that, Yan Shengrui quietly exhaled, after trying to organize his words, he continued, “My mother Consort Yun has ever been the most favored woman of my father emperor. That is her luck ,but also her misfortune. A lot of people may not know. Actually, I has a younger brother. But she died when he was little during the internal fights of the harem. If not for my nanny, I may also have died already. When I left the palace, I brought nothing but my nanny. In the first years, I often went back to my mansion, and my nanny was good to me like I am her own kid. Every time I went back, she’d show her care asking me this and that. At the time, Qin Yu was still a little kid, so cute and naïve, always followed me everywhere calling me Brother Rui. In my heart, she was like a younger sister. A few years ago, because I openly supported His Empress to resume his position, I offended a lot of officials, and my nanny also died of poison because of me. Before she died, she asked me to take care of her daughter Qin Yu and I promised her. Then I left the whole mansion to Steward Zhu and went to station at the boarders. Even every time I went back to the capital, I never went back to my mansion, at most took a seat. Later, Qin Yu became the housekeeper of the backyard and I didn’t oppose with it. No, it should be that I didn’t care. To me, after my nanny died, there is nothing in the mansion worth me coming back. Sorry Jingxuan, I forgot that that little girl would also grow up. And I also didn’t expect that she still holds some other kind of feelings except taking me as her elder brother. Today, since she has offended you, you can punish her whatever you want.”

For so many years in the mansion, Qin Yu had been living like a real princess, so he didn’t break his promise to his nanny. If it hadn’t been that she had made so much trouble, maybe he would find her a husband for the sake of her mother and offer her grand dowries. But, she only had herself to blame for offending his wife!

Hearing that, Ling Jingxuan felt a bit comforted, at least he didn’t hold some other feelings about that Qin Yu. Judging from his words, it wasn’t hard to tell that his nanny was really a good one, but only gave birth to a daughter whose heart was loftier than the sky while her life was thinner than a piece of paper! She had really wasted the wealthy and rank she mother had earned her with her own life. But, knowing what was behind it was one thing, letting go of her was another thing. If it hadn’t been that she challenged his position, maybe he could let her go for the sake of Yan Shengrui and his nanny. But now, sorry, he must use her to set up his credibility!

Whether it is the imperial palace or those big families, those servants and maid all sucked up to those with higher position. The authority as the hostess of this family wouldn’t allow anyone to challenge. Otherwise, there would be a second Qin Yu, a third Qin Yu, he didn’t have the time to deal with them one after another.

“What about those women?”

Ling Jingxuan’s tone was still not good, as long as he thought that in some corner of the mansion there were dozens of women wanting his man, he just felt so mad, only wishing to kill them all with poison.

“I am even more innocent on that. They’re all stuffed in by those people including my imperial elder brother! I didn’t have time to care about them, so I directly let people to raise them as livestock in the remotest yard. Jingxuan, I really forgot about their existence. Otherwise, I would have already let people clear them all up. Don’t be mad at me on that, OK? I know I’m wrong this time.”
