Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 151 Surveillance
the other side.

After Princess Yong had completely persuaded Princess Jiacheng, she waved her hand, letting her go back on her own.

Although Princess Jiacheng had a lot to say, she could only slowly back down in the face of her mother's stern gaze.

However, Princess Jiacheng went back to rest, but Princess Yong did not. On the contrary, she dismissed her maids and prepared to go to find her confidante to begin her scheme.

"Somebody come!"

Suddenly, Princess Yong spoke.

However, with the departure of the maids, Princess Yong was now completely alone. It seemed as if the other party was talking to thin air, which was somewhat terrifying.

clinker.

"Yes!"

A cold female voice followed immediately after the Princess Consort of Yong finished speaking.

Moreover, the woman's voice rang out from inside the room.

It was obvious that the one who spoke was a guard from Princess Yong's side, and a unique talent with professional skills who could remain hidden in the shadows.

"Quickly, go and bring Yu An, who serves the Prince, here!"

"Just tell him I have something to discuss with him!"

At this moment, Princess Yong's expression was very serious, completely unlike her previous amiable demeanor in front of Princess Jiacheng. Her words were firm and resolute, exuding the air of a superior.

"Yes, Princess!"

The female guard in the shadows maintained her calm and indifferent tone, coldly replying before quickly retreating to carry out the Princess Consort's orders.

You An is a confidant of Prince Yong. On the surface, he is the head of the guards of Prince Yong's mansion, responsible for maintaining the safety of the mansion. However, in secret, he is the leader of the private armed organization established by Prince Yong.

He was like a dagger to the Prince of Yong, hidden in the shadows, plundering lives and acting in secrecy.

Although he was not known to outsiders, it was impossible for him to hide his true nature perfectly from Princess Yong, who had been married into the Prince's mansion for decades. Therefore, Princess Yong had also vaguely sensed his special nature and would occasionally ask him to do things that were not allowed in the Prince's mansion.

For example, this time dealing with the Rong family.

"Heh, the Rong family?"

Princess Yong muttered to herself, "If they want to take food from my son's mouth, they'd better be prepared to lose their teeth!"

Her expression was fierce, like a mother wolf ready to devour her prey, showing none of the grace befitting a queen.

……

Sheng family.

Zeyutang.

"Thum! Thug! Thumb!"

A series of heavy footsteps sounded, and Xu Changqing hurriedly walked in from outside. He merely nodded casually to the few people in the courtyard before quickly walking past and entering the main house.

Sheng Changquan studied there.

The wind stirred up by his quick walk startled a large number of insects and birds, causing a commotion in the courtyard.

"Wow~"

Just then, Qingfeng, the youngest child in Sheng Changquan's courtyard, witnessed this scene. She covered her chubby little mouth and looked at her little friend in shock!

"Brother Xu, you're amazing!"

"He can actually create such a strong wind when he walks; he even blew this chrysanthemum tree down!"

At the request of Xiaotao, Jiegeng, and others, Sheng Changquan planted many fruit trees in his yard, intending to use them as snacks to satisfy the needs of certain people.

At this moment, Mingyue, standing beside Qingfeng, stared blankly at the small chrysanthemum tree Qingfeng was pointing to, nodded adorably, and said, "Mmm!" "It's really amazing!"

Xiao Mingyue thought for a moment, seemingly wanting to add some evidence to her words, and then added, "Not only that! Actually, Brother Xu is also a big eater!"

"Last time, I saw Brother Xu eating something, a steamed bun this big...!"

Mingyue gestured with her little arm, trying hard to describe the concept of "big", and said, "It was so big, and Brother Xu swallowed it in one gulp!"

"My mother always said that being able to eat is a blessing, and the more you eat, the more capable you become!"

"So there's a reason why Brother Xu is so amazing!"

Mingyue said it in a very "reasonable" way.

"Oh, I see!"

"..."

Leaving aside the childish chatter of the two little ones outside, Xu Changqing whispered something to Sheng Changquan, who was reading inside, after entering the room.

"Young Master, there's been some progress on the matter you instructed me to handle!"

"Ok?"

Sheng Changquan raised a thick eyebrow, put down the scriptures in his hand, stood up, took a few quick steps, came to Xu Changqing's side, and asked carefully, "How is it?"

"What moves have those companies made?"

"Young Master, you guessed correctly, there are indeed quite a few people outside who have designs on this place!"

Xu Changqing looked at his young master with admiration and replied, "Especially the Prince Yong's Mansion, which you asked me to keep an eye on, they are exactly like that!"

It turns out that ever since Sheng Changquan saw the huge commotion caused by Qi Heng's "fall from his horse" at the polo field that day, he immediately realized the danger inside!

"Next, I'm afraid my sister will be attacked by others!"—Sheng Changquan thought to himself.

Putting aside other things, just take the noble ladies of today's world. Although they adhere to worldly etiquette, they may also develop extreme personalities as a result, and they are eager to find a "perfect husband" who conforms to the rules of etiquette!
Unfortunately, Qi Heng was such a person.

As the saying goes, the harder you suppress it, the stronger the rebound will be!

Therefore, when they cannot get close to Qi Heng, the most likely outcome is that they will take their anger out on someone else, and the target of their anger will most likely be the weakest person, someone they can bully without suffering any repercussions.

That is, Minglan.

After all, she was just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and her family had no power. Most importantly, Minglan was a concubine's daughter who had lost her birth mother!

There's really no risk in controlling her.

Moreover, one should not overestimate human nature; the ugliness within it is something most people would never even dare to imagine!

Among so many people, there are bound to be a few who are blinded by lust for Qi Heng's beauty and attack Minglan for ridiculous reasons such as being powerless, angry, or filled with jealousy and hatred, in order to satisfy their perverted pleasure.

Therefore, what Sheng Changquan needs to do now is to take the initiative and eliminate the danger before anything happens.

"Oh, only the Prince Yong's residence?"

Sheng Changquan was somewhat surprised: "Could it be that the Li family of Minister Li, the Rong family of Consort Rong, and others haven't made any moves?"

The people Sheng Changquan mentioned were the ones who showed the most concern after seeing Qi Heng fall from his horse at the polo field that day.

Among them, the Li family of Minister of Personnel refers to Li Wenjun, the youngest legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, while the Rong family of Consort Rong refers to Rong Feiyan.

"That's not it!"

Xu Changqing shook his head and explained, "Actually, their family did send some people, but those people were just servants from the mansion, so it was nothing."

"However, the Prince of Yong's mansion is somewhat different; the people they sent out seem to have come from the military camp!"

Xu Changqing looked very serious!
