Lin Luoling guessed that the sudden change of Marquis Yongning that night was probably due to something that Prince An did secretly.

Lin Luoling held a cup of hot tea to her nose and sniffed it. She roughly guessed what the request made by Marquis Yongning was.

But he still asked, "What does Yongning Hou want?"

Jiang Feng replied: "Marquis Yongning's requirement is that Zhu Xianzhi be able to take up the position of Du Shui Cheng within seven days."

This was consistent with Lin Luoling's guess. After yesterday's meditation, she guessed that the position of Du Shui Cheng was not the second prince, Prince Rui's, but the eldest prince, Prince Jin's.

After being brought back to Beijing, Du Shuicheng insisted that the reason he rebuilt the dam was because there was a crack in it, which led to the flooding of four or five villages.

She had a private talk with Jiang Chi yesterday about this matter. From Jiang Chi, Lin Luoling learned that the dam was dug open as early as March, just because someone said that there were tombs of two favored princesses of the previous dynasty in the dam, and the gold, silver and treasures buried in the tombs were countless.

According to Jiang Chi’s previous analysis, even Prince Rui was short of gold and silver, let alone Prince Jin?

The Prince of Jin wanted to recruit soldiers and horses, but he was short of money and could not touch the royal merchant families. For the Prince of Jin, digging up graves and stealing treasures for money, wasn't it easier than making money through business?

When King Rui learned that the post of Du Shui Cheng of Jingxuzhou would soon be vacant, he would certainly hope to use the post to develop water transport, which would also make it easier for him to secretly transport privately made weapons and do some shady things.

The most important point is that Jingxuzhou is the closest to the capital among all the states of Tianqi Kingdom.

At that time, if King Rui wanted to rebel, he could recruit soldiers from other states and counties. With the canal transportation from Beijing to Xuzhou, it would not be difficult to gather troops.

However, King Rui did not know that King Jin had secretly sent people to dig a dam in the mountain, nor did he know that heavy rain was about to fall.

"Have my father and mother agreed?" Lin Luoling asked.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Of course I agree."

Just as they were talking about this, Prince An and Master Jing'an came to Jingxinyuan.

After Jiang Feng bowed to Prince An, he continued, "For some reason, Marquis Yongning was anxious to have the young lady and Zhu Xianzhi divorced as soon as possible. Before going to Governor Cao's mansion, he went to the Matchmaking Office and drafted a divorce agreement."

Prince An asked, "Have you signed the divorce book?"

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Madam signed the divorce agreement for Miss. In the afternoon, Madam asked me to transfer Miss's household registration back to the Lin Mansion."

After saying that, Jiang Feng looked at Lin Luoling hesitantly.

Lin Luoling couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, a nun came to report: "Master Jing'an, something bad has happened. There is a drunk outside the door. He is knocking on the gate of our temple and insists on seeing Miss Lin."

"See me?" Lin Luoling asked in surprise.

Jiang Feng continued, "It should be Zhu Xianzhi. Miss, you'd better not go. I will take people to drive him away."

Lin Luoling thought for a moment and said, "You can drive him away today, but what if he comes again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

The nun stammered and continued, "The drunkard cursed very badly, saying that after Miss Lin divorced him, even if she remarried, she would be a second wife, and I'm afraid the peddlers in the street would look down on her..."

Upon hearing this, Prince An's eyes darkened and he scolded, "How can we allow such a shameless villain to make trouble and talk nonsense in front of Jingfu Temple?"

Seeing that Prince An was angry, Master Jing'an hurriedly said, "I will go and take care of it right away, and I will make sure that he will not dare to cause trouble at Jingfu Temple again in the future."

Jiang Feng saw Master Jing'an leading the nun out of the house quickly, and then he said, "Marquis Yongning agreed to the divorce, but for some reason, Zhu Xianzhi refused to agree to it no matter what. When he signed the contract, it was Marquis Yongning who forced him to do so.

It can be said that the handprint was left by Yongning Hou forcing Zhu Xianzhi's hand. "

Lin Luoling was about to leave the main room when Prince An grabbed her.

"He is already drunk, he will definitely not say anything nice. Why do you need to listen to all that nonsense and make yourself unhappy?" Prince An advised.

Lin Luoling turned to look at Prince An, pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Highness Prince An has so many secret guards, he scolded me, those secret guards slapped him and kicked him, it seems that I didn't suffer any loss?

On the contrary, I felt relieved when I saw him being beaten."

Prince An asked in confusion: "You want to see this?"

"if not?"

"That's easy. I'll have the guards hang him up and beat him up. He disturbed me from praying for my mother at Jingfu Temple on her birthday. Not to mention beating him up, even if I hack him to death in front of the temple, Marquis Yongning won't dare to say a word. Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand and gets to my father, everyone in Marquis Yongning's mansion won't be able to survive."

Lin Luoling listened to Prince An's voice, which was not like the sound of clear spring like when he spoke to her in the past. It was as if she had fallen into an icy pond.

Then I knew that King An was angry.

She said, "Your Highness Prince An doesn't need to deal with such a villain personally. It would be bad if it dirtyed Jingfu Temple."

Prince An nodded slightly and walked towards the entrance of Jingfu Temple.

Lin Luoling took the opportunity to whisper to Jiang Feng, "Butler Jiang, ask Yan Jin to find a tight-lipped maid to tell Zhou Jiaoling from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion to come to Jingfu Temple to see me when she has time in the next two days."

Jiang Feng suddenly realized that Lin Luoling had pretended to be angry just now and asked Prince An to handle the matter. Without outsiders involved, it would be easier to instruct him on this matter.

Jiang Feng agreed, and Lin Luoling said that he wanted to go to the gate of Jingfu Temple to see how Prince An dealt with Zhu Xianzhi, and let Jiang Feng leave through the back door.

Before Lin Luoling reached the gate of Jingfu Temple, she heard Zhu Xianzhi wailing and cursing.

"I knew that the bitch had something unclear with you. I was wondering why the Lin family could marry their only daughter to me. It's obvious that she had a secret relationship with you and was not pleasing to Ningyuan Hou, so she was forced to marry me."
