Chapter 111

Should he thank this girl for being kind-hearted and not embarrassing him in front of so many people, and for being willing to come back with him, her nominal husband?

The person in his arms still refused to speak. Pei Yuqing's eyes were cold for a moment, but soon disappeared. He lowered his eyes and said, "Just think of it as me being narrow-minded and insisting on asking the truth. Since you don't want to say it, then let me ask, okay?"

His voice was a little suppressed. Xie Wan Ning was completely unaware of his change of mood. When she heard his question, the hand that was covering her lips stiffened and she nodded slightly.

She responded, but Pei Yuqing fell silent, as if he didn't know where to start, and didn't speak for a long time.

His slender fingertips slid from her temples to her lips, stroking them slowly. His lowered eyes were clear and focused. They were very close to each other, and she was almost nestling in his arms. When their eyes met, the atmosphere was not at all charming and ambiguous.

Xie Wan Ning just felt inexplicably nervous, and her heart was beating in her throat.

After a long silence, Pei Yuqing used his fingertips to gently press the lips of the girl in his arms, and said casually: "Here...he forced you, right?"

"..."

"what?"

Xie Wan Ning slowly widened her eyes, "What else?"

She finally understood what he meant. His face was reflected in her red pupils, but her expression gradually became angry.

"Do you think I was willing to be kidnapped by him, willing to be alone with him, and willing to be..."

She really couldn't say any more. She stared at him with angry eyes, her cheeks flushed red, like a little animal with its fur standing on end.

Pei Yuqing looked at her quietly, "What happened to him?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning suddenly fell silent, her voice unconsciously becoming smaller, "Anyway, I didn't do it voluntarily, it was that beast who forced me."

Animals!

Pei Yuqing's finger bones trembled violently, and his eyes fell on the collar of her clothes. He almost couldn't control himself and peeled off the layers of clothes to check.

Look at what a beast that man is!

Xie Wan Ning had no idea that his heart was in tatters, and she was still trying to defend herself, "Don't accuse me so wrongly. I was kidnapped by him and taken to that villa, and he also forced me to have sex with him. Whatever happened today was definitely not my own will."

Who does he take her for?
Even though their marriage was hastily arranged, she always remembered that she was a wife of the Pei family. Not to mention that she no longer liked Lu Ziyan, even if she liked him very much, she would never disregard her status and do such an...immoral thing.

I had already been frightened enough by Lu Ziyan, and now I had to endure questioning from him.

Xie Wan Ning felt a little aggrieved. She broke free from his arms, stood up, and said angrily, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Pei Changqing, if you mind that he kidnapped me, you can just say it directly. There is no need to accuse me of being unfaithful to my husband."

Even though the current dynasty has an open-minded attitude, being unfaithful to one's husband is not a good word after all, and the Xie family cannot afford to lose face like that.

This is too serious.

Pei Yuqing held her wrist and said solemnly, "I was in a state of confusion and said something I didn't mean to insult you."

"I know you didn't go into the yard with him voluntarily..." He paused, his voice hoarse, "I'm just afraid that you will be moved by his persistence and regret marrying me on such an impulse... and decide to change your mind."

Especially since she had just acted so guilty and hesitant, he couldn't help but think more.

"Do you think I'm a reckless child?" Xie Wan Ning said unhappily, "Now that I've made a decision, I won't regret it easily. Just don't think marrying me has caused a lot of trouble for your Pei family."

To be honest, she got more advantage in this marriage.

For her, the Pei family got involved with the madman Lu Ziyan.

Even that madman might be the future emperor!
Before today, Xie Wan Ning never thought that Lu Ziyan could also possess the memory of her dreams and become a madman who is even more reckless than before.

She might have had a chance to get rid of Lu Ziyan before, but now... Thinking of that madman who was spitting blood but still hugged and kissed her, Xie Wan Ning felt a chill in her heart.

She swallowed and said dryly: "Do you know..."

"What?" Pei Yuqing pulled her to sit down, put his hand along her wrist, squeezed between her fingers, and clasped them tightly, "Know what?"

Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, remembering his vague suggestion before. She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she thinks...

She thought for a few breaths and couldn't help but test it: "Lu Ziyan told me something."

Pei Yuqing's eyes moved slightly, and he tilted his head to look over, waiting for her next words.

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

Seeing that he refused to speak, she wondered whether she should directly expose Lu Ziyan's background.

While I was hesitating, I heard him say, "What do you want to ask?"

"...You said that Lu Ziyan was so arrogant and was trusted by His Majesty. You offended him for me," Xie Wan Ning hesitated and said, "Will it implicate the Duke's Mansion?"

If Lu Ziyan had always been the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, she would naturally not worry about this.

Can……

Pei Yuqing is such a smart person. He was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"What did Lu Ziyan tell you?"

Xie Wan Ning was still hesitant, and he added: "If it's about his background, then I know."

Pei Yuqing's tone was complicated. She didn't expect that Lu Ziyan also knew her life experience, and she didn't expect that he would choose to tell her directly about such a secret.

Based on his understanding of Lu Ziyan, he would never tell her such secrets of the imperial court even if that person liked her very much.

Because it is not necessary.

The more people know about it, the more surprises it will cause. Telling her about this matter will be of no use except to create more trouble.

The person you love most should stay in a comfortable zone surrounded by flowers, enjoy the scenery, cruise on the lake, and attend a banquet from time to time. Even if the sky falls, he or she should not be disturbed.

This is what Lu Zi Banquet does.

Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes, calmly concealing the darkness in his eyes.

"Since I have decided to marry you, I am not afraid of his retaliation."

He held the surprised girl in his arms and comforted her gently, "Wanwan, I have considered all the consequences. This is my own decision. You don't have to worry."

Xie Wan Ning was somewhat touched, "But, what if..."

"It won't happen," Pei Yuqing whispered, "It's true that he has a noble status, but that doesn't mean he will definitely be able to sit in that position. The emperor has many princes."

The four princes of His Majesty have all reached adulthood, and the eldest prince and the second prince are fighting openly and secretly, and the position of the crown prince is almost within their grasp. Even if Lu Ziyan, a prince raised outside the palace, restores his status, he will probably become a prince guarding the border.

Xie Wan Ning fell silent.

What should she say? The man came back with a full-mark answer sheet and answered the questions again.
