The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 140

Xie Wan Ning was originally in a daze, and when she heard that, she pursed her lips and glared at him.

"Why are you upset?" Lu Ziyan smiled at her and said, "I didn't ask for it, did I?"

Normally, when he missed her, he could still rely on training and martial arts to express his abundant energy. However, the three cups of love wine he drank yesterday had no place to vent the medicinal effects, causing him great suffering.

Having also been drugged, he could only hope that she would solve the problem herself, while that sickly girl could take this opportunity to get close to him.

In the end, he couldn't let go of his jealousy. Lu Ziyan's eyes dimmed, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and he looked at her quietly.

Xie Wan Ning felt frightened by his gaze. Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door and Ming Jian sent someone to bring in a charcoal basin.

Lu Ziyan released her chin and held her in his arms.

These were his personal soldiers, most of whom had seen his fiancée. There were many gossips in the military camp, and given their current status, they really shouldn't let anyone know she was coming.

A few pots of charcoal fire were placed in the house, and the coldness in the house was quickly dispelled.

Before Ming Jian was about to leave, Lu Ziyan ordered, "Go and bring the person here."

When the door closed again, Xie Wan Ning couldn't wait to leave his arms. Lu Ziyan did not stop her and let her go.

"Why did you bring me here?" She took three steps back, her eyes showing a look of caution: "If you dare to mess around again, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"

Unlike the day when he lost control of his emotions after awakening his past life memories, this time she talked about death lightly again. Lu Ziyan did not panic, but just looked at her with lowered eyes.

He looked at her seriously for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Wanwan, why do you always think that you can make me give in by committing suicide?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning choked for a moment and didn't say anything.

He waited for a while, and when she didn't say anything, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, you clearly know how much I love you."

You know how much I love you and how afraid something might happen to you, so you can use suicide as a threat.

His implication was to stop there.

Xie Wan Ning had heard it clearly, but was speechless.

She wanted to say righteously that it was not the case, but she couldn't even find a good excuse.

...Is it true?
He was so bad to her and bullied her in her previous life, so how could she believe that he loved her?

But if not, why would she think that hurting herself would be a weapon to make him retreat?

The room fell inexplicably silent.

Xie Wan Ning didn't speak for a long time, and Lu Ziyan didn't care.

He was indeed not good at expressing his feelings. Keeping a low profile had been a compulsory course for him since he was young, and he was even less capable of saying sweet words to flatter others.

In his previous life, the first thing he thought about the girl he liked was that he would bear all the storms in the outside world, and she only needed to be under his wings and not have to worry about anything.

But many things always go against our wishes.

Between them, he always made things worse, always made her feel wronged, and always acted self-righteously.

Xie Wan Ning thought about it for a long time and had a headache. Now she was bored and tired of everything in her past life. She was also extremely bored with the man in front of her who kept reminding her of the past.

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing me here?"

She didn't want to sort out their past entanglements, and she didn't want to figure out who had deeper feelings for each other. She just said, "Lu Ziyan, I'm really fed up with your nonsense."

'Nonsense'...

Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes slightly, perfectly hiding the emotions in his eyes.

Even though he already knew how cruel this girl was to him, every time he saw her looking at him with disgust, he still felt a tearing pain in his heart.

Lu Ziyan calmed down, ignored her annoyance, and answered her previous questions.

"I have witnessed your experiences in your previous life in my dreams, and I know all the grievances you have suffered." He paused, and said, "...In fact, after you left in the previous life, I made all of them pay the price."

It was the same old tune again, but Xie Wan Ning listened without any emotion. She did not ask excitedly at all as she did the first time. She did not even raise her eyes when she heard it, but found a chair and sat down.

And Lu Ziyan's voice continued.

He said, "I thought about it. They hurt you so much, but you didn't see their end with your own eyes. It's a pity. So in this life, I have to let you vent your anger yourself. I won't let any of them go."

Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning finally reacted. She raised her eyes to look at him, but before she could ask any questions, someone knocked gently on the door.

The sound of swords rang out from outside.

"Master, someone brought it."

Lu Ziyan glanced at her and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Xie Wan Ning subconsciously looked over when she heard the sound. Unexpectedly, just as she turned her head and her vision had not yet focused, a figure appeared in front of her, blocking her view.

"Get out!"

Lu Ziyan flashed in front of Xie Wan Ning, grasped the back of her neck with one hand, pressed her head against his waist to make sure her sight was blocked, and with the other hand, he picked up the teacup next to him and smashed it out, landing right at Ming Jian's feet.

Ming Jian was shocked and realized that he had made a mistake again. He didn't dare to say anything and quickly pulled the tied-up woman beside him out.

Everything happened so suddenly, and he attacked her so suddenly that Xie Wan Ning had no time to react.

Until the door was closed, Lu Ziyan reached out to grab her chin and asked, "What did you see just now?"

Xie Wan Ning stared at him blankly, the image that had flashed through her mind still in her mind.

The woman was wearing thin clothes, with her hands tied behind her back, and her exposed skin was purple...

Anyone can see what this woman has been through.

Her eyelashes trembled, "Is that Liu Manrou?"

As expected, I saw...

Lu Ziyan's fingertips froze for a moment, then he slowly let go of the person and said, "I didn't expect Ming Jian to bring someone here like this."

How could such a dirty thing appear in front of her like this?

Even if you want to make her feel better, you shouldn't pollute her eyes.

After confirming who the person was, Xie Wan Ning's heart sank, and for a moment she couldn't tell what she felt.

This is a military camp!
Military camp!

She couldn't believe it. "You made her a military prostitute?"

Who is Liu Manrou?
In her previous life, she started out as a maid and became Lu Ziyan's mistress, then she was taken in as the concubine of the second wife of the Lu family, and finally she became the young lady of the second wife.

She is also the biological mother of the eldest grandson of the Lu family.

In the eyes of all outsiders, Liu Manrou is Lu Ziyan's absolute true love. Compared to her as the Crown Prince's Consort, Liu Manrou is more like the mistress of Wuyuan Marquis' Mansion.

She was spoiled and arrogant, often provocative, and loved to show off by holding the child.

She also killed Er Qing!
That was the person Xie Wan Ning hated the most in her previous life.

She thought about punishing Liu Manrou, and even thought about letting Liu Manrou die to compensate for Erqing's life.

But I never thought that such means could be used against women.

This was the second time they met in their lives, and she had actually become a military prostitute who rewarded the soldiers! Xie Wan Ning expected him to deny it, to tell her that it was all a misunderstanding, but he just hummed softly.

"She was Lu Zishuo's concubine. I brought her back to the capital and took her into the second house so that the bloodline of the Lu family's second house would not be lost outside. Later, I found out that I was not a descendant of the Lu family, so I decided to give Lu Yunpei a legitimate status and made her the first wife of the second house."

"Perhaps this action caused her to lose track of her own identity and start fantasizing about other things."

Lu Ziyan's voice turned cold.

"I have never been to her yard. She was the one who sowed discord and caused you to misunderstand me. No matter what happens, she deserves it," he said, "even if you cut her into pieces, it will not ease the hatred in my heart."

In the dream, during those two years, her love for him had become no longer the same as before due to his self-righteous decisions.

But he still had a chance to make amends. If Liu Manrou hadn't kept instigating them, they wouldn't have ended up like that.

Xie Wan Ning was stunned.

"So, your punishment is to make her a military whore who can be trampled on by anyone?" She looked at him blankly, "...was it the same in the previous life?"

When talking about her previous life, the scene of her vomiting blood and dying appeared in front of Lu Ziyan's eyes again. Such tragedy has been engraved in his soul, and every time he thinks of it, he feels great panic and pain.

His taut jaw muscles trembled uncontrollably and he reached out to hug her tightly, "They all deserve to die, but death is too easy for them. Wanwan, I won't let them have an easy time!"

His voice was neurotically cruel, as if he was in some kind of madness.

During the two meetings after her memory awakened, she found that his condition was a little abnormal and his obsession with her had become pathological, but she still didn't take it seriously and thought that he was just moving himself.

It was not until this moment that Xie Wan Ning finally realized what her death in her previous life meant to him.

There was another knock on the door.

This time, Ming Jian asked very cautiously, "Master, the people have been packed up, do you still need to bring them in?"

Lu Ziyan untied his arms, lowered his eyes and asked the girl in his arms, "Do you want to see her?"

The scene she just saw was too horrifying. Xie Wan Ning's mind was a little confused. She thought about it and nodded slightly.

The noble ladies who were brought up in seclusion in the boudoir had only heard a little about places like brothels from storybooks.

As for the military prostitutes who were only the family members of criminal officials and were sent to reward the three armies, Xie Wan Ning had never even heard of it twice.

The door was pushed open, and Liu Manrou appeared, already fully dressed in a half-worn winter coat that was very suitable for the season.

The wounds on the body can be covered by clothes, but the wounds on the face cannot be covered.

There was a bruise on his forehead, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and there were even wounds at the corners of his lips.

Lu Ziyan took a glance and frowned slightly, already regretting letting anyone in.

Xie Wan Ning couldn't take her eyes away for a long time.

She was completely different from the woman in plain dress who looked graceful when I first met her. At an age when she should be the most charming, she looked haggard and her cheeks were sunken.

The desperate, empty and lifeless look in her eyes made her scalp tingle.

It is hard to imagine what kind of torture would cause such a young woman to become in such a miserable state in such a short time.

Also, the injuries on her body...

Liu Manrou, who was brought out of the guest tent by Ming Jian, blinked slowly under Xie Wan Ning's gaze.

Finally I recognized who was in front of me.

"Thank you, young lady!" Her knees softened and she fell to her knees.

"I know I was wrong. It was all my fault that day. I shouldn't have called you sister and shouldn't have caused you to quarrel with the prince. The prince has nothing to do with me. He only has you in his heart and treats you sincerely. I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again!"

Liu Manrou kowtowed several times in a row, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, and cried out urgently: "Please have mercy on me and spare my humble servant this time!"

It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but once she spoke, her hoarse and piercing voice startled Xie Wan Ning so much that she stood up suddenly, her eyes widening involuntarily.

Even his throat was injured!
You know, Liu Manrou's original voice is the authentic Wu dialect, which can make your bones soften just by listening to it.

But now, there is no good place for such a woman who is delicate and beautiful from head to toe.

Completely useless.

Xie Wan Ning took half a step back in fear. Lu Ziyan frowned and winked at Ming Jian.

Seeing this, the latter grabbed Liu Manrou's arm and was about to take her out.

How could Liu Manrou miss this opportunity? She crawled on her knees anxiously, trying to hug Xie Wan Ning's thighs to beg for mercy, but before she got close, Lu Ziyan kicked her aside.

"Get out!"

He kicked her hard, but Liu Manrou managed to hold on and did not lose consciousness. When she was dragged up by Ming Jian, she was still looking at Xie Wan Ning. Seeing that she could not beg for mercy and was being taken back to that devil's cave, she could no longer hold back the strong hatred in her eyes and screamed.

The hoarse voice is already harsh, and the shouting makes it sound even more shrill and terrifying.

Ming Jian slashed her neck with one hand and knelt down to apologize.

Lu Ziyan waved his hand.

Ming Jian carried the unconscious Liu Manrou out. When he carried her up, a look of disgust was clearly visible on his face.

It all happened very quickly. From the time Liu Manrou came in to the time she fell unconscious and was taken out, it took less than half an incense stick of time.

By the time Xie Wan Ning recovered from her shock, the other party had already been knocked unconscious.

Seeing Ming Jian was about to take people away, she subconsciously said, "Wait!"

"Where are you taking her?"

Ming Jian paused and did not answer her question, but looked at his master's expression.

"Go to where she belongs." Lu Ziyan said, "This is the punishment for provoking you."

Where can military prostitutes stay?

It's just a brothel.

Using such means to punish a woman, but saying it is for her.

Xie Wan Ning felt depressed, shocked and angry.

"Do you think that I hate Liu Manrou, so seeing her in such a miserable state makes me feel happy?"

For Liu Manrou, such a situation might be worse than death.

But he wanted to torture her body, destroy all her dignity as a human being, and make her life worse than death.

"You're wrong," she said, her voice tense from repression, "As a woman, I only find you scary."

Lu Ziyan's expression changed.

"You can't bear to treat such a woman with evil intentions?"

He reached out to hold her arm, but was hastily avoided. He gritted his teeth and said, "I did something wrong again, didn't I? Are you going to accuse me of something again? You're avoiding me like a snake or a scorpion."

Xie Wan Ning said: "No matter how evil her intentions are, you can just execute her."

"Have you forgotten what she said to you?" Lu Ziyan sneered, "She doesn't like to serve men. I cater to her preferences and let her serve me to her heart's content. What's wrong with that?"
