Sheng Lengshuang understood that the matter would not be easily resolved, and even more so that it would be difficult to resolve: "Your main consort alone cannot stir up trouble; greater benefits are needed."
These several countries wanted to swallow the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this large piece of fat meat. How could the position of a mere Mingrui King's main consort compare to this large piece of fat meat of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
How could Mo Lingxi not know this? He embraced her and descended from the roof, getting into a nearby carriage.
"I already have a complete plan for this matter. The position of main consort is just a fuse."
Seeing his confidence, Sheng Lengshuang could only sigh lightly and say nothing more.
Mo Lingxi could see her worries and gently comforted her, promising that once he resolved these matters, he would no longer let his wife worry.
The two returned to the Sheng family. Madam Sheng and Xiao Feng, who had received the news in advance, hurried over.
"Lengshuang!"
"Mother!"
Madam Sheng held Sheng Lengshuang and looked her over, crying with joy.
Xiao Feng hugged his mother's leg, following closely behind, afraid his mother would disappear again.
Sheng Lengshuang picked up Xiao Feng and said to Madam Sheng with a gentle smile, "Mother, I'm fine. Those people wanted to use me to achieve their goals, so they naturally wouldn't do anything to me."
Madam Sheng dabbed at the corners of her eyes with her embroidered handkerchief. Her heart, which had been uneasy for many days, finally settled: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Nothing else matters."
The group returned to Sheng Lengshuang's courtyard and sat down to chat.
Sheng Lengshuang briefly described her situation in that residence and then relayed the other party's demands: "For now, it seems like it was done by Mo Lingxi's admirer, but it's not impossible that they are trying to confuse us."
"It's another disaster brought by Father. Father is so bad," Xiao Feng pouted, saying indignantly.
Mo Lingxi: "...Son, you can't say that. That's just your mother's guess."
Xiao Feng put his hands on his hips and huffed, "Father doesn't admit it! It's clearly Father who brought trouble to Mother."
He counted on his fingers, his voice milky and soft, "Like that Miss Sima who caused trouble for Mother, and Princess Anning, and others. They were all because of Father. This time is no different."
Mo Lingxi's mouth twitched, and he looked at his leaky little padded jacket with a headache. Although it was already warm, his little padded jacket shouldn't be so leaky.
"Xiao Feng, don't you want Father and Mother to be together forever? Don't you want a younger brother or sister?"
Xiao Feng tilted his head and said cutely, "No! Father brings so much trouble and danger to Mother. Xiao Feng doesn't want Mother to be with Father anymore."
"Besides, Grandmother said there are many, many good young men pursuing Mother, so Mother won't have trouble finding a husband."
Sheng Lengshuang and Madam Sheng couldn't stop laughing.
Mo Lingxi clutched his chest, which felt cold, and sought comfort from his wife: "Wife, my son doesn't want me anymore."
Sheng Lengshuang glanced at him and said slowly, "Don't call me that, Prince Mingrui. We are already divorced. I am not your wife."
Mo Lingxi's heart was pierced: "...Wife, you don't want me anymore?"
Sheng Lengshuang said yes: "We are already divorced, why would I want you? It would be a waste of my family's grain. If Prince Mingrui feels empty, lonely, and cold, he can find someone to accompany him."
A certain prince, bursting with the will to survive, repeatedly stated he would not: "You are the only wife I will ever have in this life. There will never be any messy people."
Sheng Lengshuang's lips curved upwards, her eyes shining with pleasure: "Prince Mingrui, you are very good at coaxing women."
Mo Lingxi always performed exceptionally well on life-or-death questions: "I only coax you. I wouldn't even spare other women a second glance."
Sheng Lengshuang's smile deepened, her eyes brightening: "What's the use of Prince Mingrui saying such nice things? We are already divorced and have no relationship."
Mo Lingxi's heart was pierced again: "Wife, we can rem..."
He couldn't utter the word "marry" as Sheng Lengshuang narrowed her eyes.
He touched his nose and coughed lightly: "Wife, don't worry, I promise I will resolve all matters and won't let you suffer any grievances."
Sheng Lengshuang didn't want to discuss this topic with him further, so she chatted with Madam Sheng and the others about other matters.
While they were talking, a wet nurse walked in.
"Madam, Eldest Miss." The wet nurse bowed: "Eldest Miss, the constable from the Ministry of Justice is here. He says he's here about the case of Old Master Tao and the others."
Sheng Lengshuang knew what was happening as soon as she heard it and asked the wet nurse to invite the constable over.
A moment later, a sharp-looking constable entered, led by the wet nurse.
The constable bowed respectfully: "Eldest Miss Sheng, regarding the case of Old Master Tao and the others who were murdered, I have some questions for you."
Sheng Lengshuang: "Please ask."
Constable: "Where was Eldest Miss Sheng when Old Master Tao and the others were murdered?"
"I was kidnapped. I was at the scene of Old Master Tao and the others' incident, but I did not kill them. I had no reason to kill Old Master Tao and the others."
"Does Eldest Miss Sheng have any witnesses or evidence to prove her innocence?"
Sheng Lengshuang shook her head, stating she could not prove her innocence: "I was kidnapped at the time. Besides the kidnappers, there was no one else."
"I can prove that Sheng Lengshuang was kidnapped," Mo Lingxi said. "There is also sufficient evidence to prove that she was kidnapped."
Constable: "Your Highness Prince Mingrui, this alone cannot prove that Eldest Miss Sheng is not involved in the case of Old Master Tao and the others. Sufficient evidence is required."
Mo Lingxi also knew this: "I will find the evidence. You may continue investigating this case."
The constable looked somewhat troubled: "Your Highness Prince Mingrui, this case must follow procedure."
Mo Lingxi's gaze turned cold, and his tone became a little heavier: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
The constable's scalp tingled, and he bowed: "Yes! I will not disturb you further. Goodbye."
After he left, Sheng Lengshuang let out a soft scoff: "The mastermind is really playing a chain of schemes. As soon as I returned, the people from the Ministry of Justice arrived."
"From this alone, it can be seen that the mastermind wishes I would die sooner."
Mo Lingxi's dark and deep eyes overflowed with danger: "I want to see who is causing trouble in the dark."
"It's all Father's fault!" Xiao Feng suddenly said this.
Madam Sheng nodded in agreement: "From all indications, it is indeed Prince Mingrui's fault, and he has brought so much trouble and danger to Lengshuang."
"Fortunately, Lengshuang has already divorced Prince Mingrui. From now on, Lengshuang should stay away from Prince Mingrui to avoid misunderstandings and to protect your reputation."
Sheng Lengshuang smiled and agreed: "Mother is right. I am already divorced from Prince Mingrui. For the sake of my reputation and safety, I should stay away from him."
Mo Lingxi: "!!" Wife, you can't do this to me!
Sheng Lengshuang narrowed her cold eyes and said slowly, word by word: "What did Prince Mingrui just call me? I didn't hear very clearly. Please call me again."
