Chapter 109

The little girl seemed to have suffered a great injustice. She buried her head in the arms of the sickly man and refused to lift it up.

And the person who caused her to suffer these injustices was herself.

Lu Ziyan's heart was already numb from the pain, but the pain was still stubbornly transmitted to his brain. He moved his lips but did not speak.

The autumn night was cold as the two men faced each other from a distance. Apart from the whistling sound of the wind, no one among the many guards and soldiers in the courtyard dared to speak, and even their breathing was subconsciously lightened.

After a long time, Pei Yuqing noticed that the person in his arms was trembling slightly. He withdrew his gaze, loosened his arms around the girl, took off his cloak, wrapped her up, and held her in his arms again.

This series of actions made Lu Ziyan's face gradually turn black, his finger bones crackled, and he watched with gritted teeth.

Pei Yuqing held the girl in his arms, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the man standing on the steps, and said lightly: "Old Marquis Lu has a great reputation in his life, but he never thought that he would raise a scum like you who bullies women."

The wind blew Pei Yuqing's robe. He stood in the strong wind with his back straight, his face as cold as frost.

"Lu Ziyan, no matter how unwilling you are, just use whatever means you have to deal with me. As a great general, if you intercept a powerless woman on the way, you will only be despised and ridiculed."

Even the most vicious murderer knows that his crime does not extend to women and children.

No matter how fiercely they fight each other in private, they shouldn't scare the ladies in the boudoir and the women in the back house.

Lu Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze remained on the girl motionlessly. Seeing that she refused to look up, he smiled through gritted teeth.

He had forgotten whether he had ever experienced such a posture of total dependence. His heart was filled with unbearable pain, as if it was being stabbed by thousands of needles soaked in aged vinegar.

The intense pain made Lu Ziyan's eyes red, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat again.

But he refused to show any weakness in front of his rival and just swallowed it down.

The suppressed emotions made Lu Ziyan exude a faint sense of brutality.

Ming Jian beside him felt it first and took half a step back without leaving a trace.

The unbearable silence didn't last too long. Lu Ziyan suppressed his jealousy and nodded slightly, "Prince Pei, what you said makes sense. This is indeed a contest between you and me. I lost my sense of proportion today."

As he spoke, his eyes, which had been fixed on Xie Wan Ning's back, narrowed slightly, and he apologized in a gentle voice: "Wan Ning, I will never be so abrupt again in the future, please don't be angry with me."

Xie Wan Ning froze, and subconsciously grasped the collar of the man in front of her, "Take me home."

She didn't want to stay here any longer.

Lu Ziyan heard this clearly. He looked polite and didn't look like a man so arrogant as to kidnap other people's wives, but the bloodshot in his eyes became more intense.

His voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes full of venom swept straight towards Pei Yuqing, saying: "Just as you said, without involving the ladies in the boudoir, I will send an invitation another day, and I hope that Master Pei will be happy to accept the invitation."

Pei Yuqing took one last look at him and smiled back, "I'll be waiting for your instruction."

After saying that, he picked up the girl in his arms by the waist and turned away.

Although he had told himself long ago that his Wanwan was already married and that she and this sickly boy were a legitimate couple, this was the first time that Lu Ziyan saw with his own eyes another man carrying her away.

Step by step, she left his sight.

And he couldn't even stop it.

Nor dare.

He had lived two lives, spent half of his life in the military, and was a man of iron will. What he feared most was that she would threaten him with her life.

But he was still afraid of one thing, that is, she would completely abandon him.

He couldn't tell which of these two things was more terrifying.

"Prince," Ming Jian behind him stepped forward and asked, "Just let them go like this?" Lu Ziyan stood quietly, looking at the back. His eyesight was very good, and even in the dark, he could see a pair of hands as tender as scallions reaching out from the cloak and climbing onto the man's neck.

He watched with gritted teeth, his expression changing for a while, and for a moment he really wanted to change his mind and force the person to stay, but in the end, he just hummed softly.

Ming Jian's body trembled, and he responded slowly, but he was full of confusion in his heart.

He knew best how hard his master's life was.

His fiancée, whom he had arranged to marry since childhood, hastily married her while he was away from the capital. He rushed back to the capital for thousands of miles to win her back, but he happened to see her on her wedding night and she was still so cruel and heartless.

Poor young master, he was in a coma for several days and called this woman's name for several days.

She vomited blood several times while being sweet and affectionate with her new husband. Whenever they thought of it, they, her confidants, felt that the daughter of the Xie family was extremely hateful, let alone the person involved.

According to Ming Jian's idea, since he had finally captured the person, and he had already become enemies with the Pei and Xie families, he should go all out and be more ruthless, making the matter a done deal.

The newly married bride was slept with by his family's eldest son. Even if the Pei family was in need of a wife, they could not afford to lose such a person and would definitely divorce her with a letter of divorce.

By then, even if the daughter of Xie family was eager to marry, the eldest son of his family might not be willing to marry such a fallen woman.

I didn't expect that they would just release the person as he was.

Even though she had been alone in the room for a long time, when Xie's daughter came out she was dressed neatly and her behavior was normal. Ming Jian knew that nothing had happened inside.

It was a waste of their time to wait and capture the person.

This doesn't seem like the style of a cold-blooded killer at all.

How could Lu Ziyan understand the complaints of his subordinates? He stood there without blinking, until he could no longer see anything. Then he finally could not bear it anymore, bent down slightly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ming Jian was horrified and tried to help him, but he raised his hand to stop him. His face turned pale and he said, "My Lord, please ask me to go get the imperial physician."

"No need." Lu Ziyan wiped the blood from his lips, lowered his eyes and looked at him for a few breaths, then said calmly, "This is a heart disease, an old problem."

Heart disease?

Ming Jian was startled. "When did you develop a heart disease?"

Isn't this the disease of the sickly guy in the Pei family?

His son is healthy and strong, when will he...

Lu Ziyan had no intention of explaining the confusion to his subordinates. He walked down the stairs with steady steps, not looking like someone who had been vomiting blood for half a day.

After walking out of the house, he turned around to take a look, and before getting on the carriage, he tilted his head and ordered: "Pay attention to the news of the Duke of Pei's Mansion, and report any disturbances to me at any time."

Ming Jian bowed and accepted the order.

…………

the other side.

Xie Wan Ning was carried all the way out of the house by Pei Yuqing.

This distance was actually not short, but he held the person steadily in his arms, and even his breathing was not disordered.

The carriage stopped at the gate. Xie Wan Ning, like an ostrich, finally poked her head out of his arms and saw dozens of guards.

She was slightly startled. With so many people being mobilized, the Princess and the Duke of Pei should all know about it.

After twelve o'clock it will be the 27th. My dears, please vote for me. I will work hard to write more and update more~~~
