First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 449: Watching the Fun and Seeing Familiar People

Wei Ling dared to reveal his true feelings for Su Jixiang to the court. First, his strength had reached a point where he no longer needed to hide it. Second, he didn't want Su Jixiang to suffer any more grievances. Life was meaningless if one always compromised. Third, he felt the Turks wouldn't miss the opportunity to leave the north. Therefore, if war broke out in the north, Emperor Longchang wouldn't dare to detain Su Jixiang in the capital.

That's why Wei Ling is so confident now.

After Wei Ling and Su Jixiang made all the preparations, they set off with their men.

There was no need to hide it anymore. Wei Ling had prepared everything for Su Jixiang for this trip, including food, clothing, and daily necessities. He even brought along the dozen or so horses he had bought last time.

The road starting from the Marquis' Mansion is quite eye-catching.

Not long after they left, Lu Shui excitedly said outside the carriage, "Madam, Madam, there is news from the eldest princess!!" The uncontrollable excitement in her voice was felt by Su Jixiang and Wei Ling through the walls of the carriage.

"Constrain yourself, restrain yourself!" Su Jixiang opened the car window curtain and saw Lu Shui's grin showing her teeth, so he could only hold back his laughter and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Seeing Lu Shui so happy, could it be that the princess really discovered what was going on in Ximoxuan? Ah. No, it should be that the princess discovered that the prince consort had a mistress in his golden house!

The princess is so quick!

"Madam, I just received news that Her Royal Highness the Princess has rushed into Ximoxuan with her men!" Lushui said with her hand covering her mouth and laughing.

"Rushed in?" Su Jixiang was startled, then she turned around to look at Wei Ling, who was sitting in the carriage with a calm look. "Did you do something?"

"I just brought the cake box that they threw out as trash to the Princess." Wei Ling smiled and said, "This matter started with this cake. Of course, I can't let the birthday cake appear in vain!"

Su Jixiang couldn't help but give Wei Ling a cold look.

I knew he was the one behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Since the eldest princess led people to Ximoxuan, the excitement must be quite big!

"How about we go and see what's going on?" Su Jixiang winked at Wei Ling.

Lu Shui nodded quickly. "It's said that this is a big deal! The princess has mobilized the guards in the palace and has cordoned off the entire street. It seems that the princess is furious."

How could she not be angry? The eldest princess had always thought she was in control of the situation. Not only did she have the final say in the Princess's Mansion, but even her husband was completely devoted to her and never changed his mind. Now, she suddenly realized that this was not the case. With the eldest princess's temper, how could she let her husband go?

Wei Ling raised his hand and touched Su Jixiang's hair, "You want to go and watch the fun!" He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes." Su Jixiang nodded.

"If you beg me, I will take you there!" Wei Ling said with a smile.

Su Jixiang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wei Ling again, "Bah! Do I need you to lead me?"

"Haha." Wei Ling, who was despised by Su Jixiang, couldn't help but burst into laughter, not realizing at all that he was being scolded by his wife. "Okay, okay, let's go see what's going on."

After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess humiliated her own wife at the Hairpin Flower Banquet, and she had to vent her anger.

"So are we going to go and see it like this? Do we need to hide something?" Su Jixiang looked down at himself and Wei Ling and asked.

"No need!" Wei Ling waved his hand. "Since the princess was able to lead people into Ximoxuan, she should have thought that she would be laughed at. She didn't even try to hide it, so what are we afraid of? Let's go to Ximoxuan!"

"That's right!" Su Jixiang laughed.

Just like that, the carriage changed direction and headed directly towards the west of the city.

It has to be said that Lushui was still a bit conservative. When they arrived at Xixia Street where Ximoxuan was, Xixia Street was already surrounded by the eldest princess's guards.

"There are so many guards in the Princess's Mansion?" Su Jixiang looked out from inside the carriage and asked in surprise.

"The Princess's residence has always had many guards." Wei Ling nodded. "Many of the guards who previously served His Majesty have now joined the Princess after retiring. It can be said that the Princess is providing for His Majesty's guards in their old age."

Su Jixiang finally understood.

In fact, this is just like those injured veterans who retired from the Black Tiger Army. The only difference is that His Majesty's old guards and injured guards are taken care of by the Princess, while the veterans of the Black Tiger Army are now working in the factories and farms established by Su Jixiang.

Xixia Street is not very long, with only five households in total, and the largest courtyard among them is Ximoxuan.

The house where the prince consort kept his mistress was right behind Ximoxuan. Because the people from the princess's mansion wanted to protect the entire Xixia Street, they also surrounded the house.

"Find it for me! I don't believe that you can't find a courtyard full of wisteria!" Although I couldn't get close to it, I could still hear the eldest princess's sharp voice.

There were many people outside watching, but because the guards of the Princess's Mansion looked like ferocious monsters, they did not dare to approach. They just gathered around Xixia Street and talked and whispered.

Among the onlookers, Su Jixiang also saw several carriages from noble families...

"This is..." Su Jixiang pointed at the carriage of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion not far away and looked at Wei Ling in surprise.

"Because their family is also titled Cheng'en, they've always been suppressed by the Princess's Mansion." Wei Ling also saw the Cheng'en Mansion's carriage and said with a smile, "They appear to have a good relationship, but in fact, the Princess has offended them severely. It's just that due to relatives and other reasons, they usually just laugh it off when they meet. Now that something like this has happened in the Princess's Mansion, do you think the Lady of Cheng'en will miss such a good opportunity?"

Su Jixiang thought of the wife of Duke Cheng'en's hypocrisy towards the eldest princess and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But as soon as she smiled, the carriage of Duke Cheng'en's mansion moved.

"Oh no! We've been discovered by the people from Duke Cheng'en's Mansion." Lu Shui's expression changed, and then he lowered his voice and said to Su Jixiang, "Madam! Should we hide for a while?"

"They are coming for us, where do you want to hide? Since you have already thought about such a situation before coming to watch the fun, there is no need to hide." Su Jixiang smiled, then looked at Wei Ling, and saw Wei Ling nodded, and felt relieved.

The person who got off the carriage from Duke Cheng'en's mansion was actually the wife of Duke Cheng'en!

She brought her personal maid and headed straight towards Su Jixiang's carriage!
