Chapter 132.1- Rebirth of the Black Lotus (End)
Prince Linjiang, Lin Shiheng, was called into the palace and only returned in the late afternoon with a bang. The Princess Consort Mu Qingling was looking at the accounts of the Prince’s mansion when she heard the servant report that the Prince had returned, and smiled gently. She asked someone to send the accounts she had looked after to Lin Shiheng.
In the past few days, her body had gradually improved. She no longer felt weak to even breathe like before, and Mu Qingling knew it was because the poison in her body had been purged.
She could also roughly figure out who had poisoned her. Although she didn’t know why Mu Qingrong had pushed Prince Linjiang on her herself and then backtracked, and tried to scheme up afterwards, now that her greatest reliance had made it clear that he didn’t like Mu Qingrong, Mu Qingling didn’t have to hold back.
On her last visit, she had informed her mother of her suspicions. Now, her younger brother was growing up and enjoyed studying. He was still the son of a concubine, so her second Uncle was able to tolerate him.
The eldest family’s position in the Marquis’s household was certainly not as good as it could have been, but at least on the surface, her second uncle still cared about his reputation and treated his older brother’s widow and young son well.
Mu Qingling felt the tactics of her second uncle and second aunt when she wasn’t married were disgusting. They withheld funds behind the scenes but were generous on the surface, leaving the eldest family with no basis to speak out on.
They were all from distinguished families. Even if it was for the sake of their children, they all wanted to save face. Mu Qingling knew in her heart that the second family was sure that her mother wouldn’t speak a word for the sake of her children’s reputation. If it was in the past, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything even if she was bitter in her heart. But now, however, she was Princess Consort Linjiang.
In addition, yesterday, her husband had told her that he would like to see the first family separated, if possible.
Although this was said because he was disgusted by Mu Qingrong’s brazen behavior, Mu Qingling was still delighted.
