Chapter 147

This kiss freed Xie Wan Ning from the position where she was facing the wall, but her whole body was still in his hands.

He held her in his arms and kissed her.

He said he didn't dare, but his hands did not stop moving at all.

Xie Wan Ning pushed hard and struggled with her hands and feet.

It also has no effect.

His hands and feet were clamped

"Be good, I dare not do anything else..."

His voice was still gentle and soothing, and his lips kissed her jaw lightly again and again.

He listened to the little girl's angry curse without changing his expression.

Turned into rapid breathing.

The voice is charming.

Pei Yuqing felt a little pain when he heard this.

It hurts more than the pain I got from the Warm Love Powder in Cuiyun Pavilion yesterday.

But he didn't dare go any further.

Suddenly, he chuckled.

I used a little force with my fingertips.

Xie Wan Ning pinched his arm, her whole body tensed, and she glared at him with gritted teeth.

But even his breath was trembling.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Wan Ning finally recovered some strength, turned over, picked up the soft pillow and threw it at the man next to her.

"Get out!" She was so angry that her voice was a little hoarse.

Pei Yuqing grabbed the pillow and threw it aside. He stretched out his hand to pull the person into his arms and hugged him, coaxing him, "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."

He held her in one hand and patted her shoulder gently with the other. The man looked gentle and frail, but his chest was broad enough to hold her whole in his arms.

"Let me go!" Xie Wan Ning was filled with anger and had no place to vent. She was not willing to stay in his arms obediently and kept struggling.

Soon, she froze.

"Why are you so nervous? We have already consummated our marriage." Pei Yuqing held her waist and whispered, "You can feel it..."

"Asshole!" Xie Wan Ning stiffened her neck and roared, "Why did you do this to me!"

"How should I treat you? Wanwan, you and I are husband and wife." Pei Yuqing's tone remained calm, as if the anger just now had never appeared.

Xie Wan Ning was the one who was furious. She couldn't believe her ears. "You can force your husband and wife to do this!"

Pei Yuqing seemed a little helpless, "What kind of strength is this? I didn't even get in."

He moved sideways and put his arm around her shoulders, making the two of them closer together. He swallowed and said, "You just said you touched him. I... felt a little uncomfortable. I couldn't control my desire for you."

"You asked for this, didn't you? You arranged for him to come to me!" Xie Wan Ning sneered, "What husband is so generous that he lets his wife be kissed and hugged by other men..."

The rest of the words disappeared in the man's suddenly strong arms.

"Yes, I deserve it," Pei Yuqing said with a trembling voice, "I lost my mind and did such a thing."

He just completely possessed this girl last night, and he was always worried and anxious when the two of them should be enjoying the sweetest love.

He wanted that man to give up completely, and wanted her to cut off all entanglements with Lu Ziyan. Whenever he thought of the girl in his arms' love for another man during those years, with such love in her heart and eyes, he couldn't sleep or eat.

Perhaps he felt deep down that he was no match for Lu Ziyan, and that everything he had now was the result of calculation.

That's why he will continue to plan everything and make stupid moves repeatedly.

Xie Wan Ning was held in his arms, with the back of her head held down so she couldn't look up. All she could see was his slightly protruding Adam's apple, which moved gently as he spoke. She couldn't see his expression, but she could sense that this usually calm man was losing control of his emotions.

All that rage suddenly disappeared, replaced by a complex feeling.

She thought of Lu Ziyan. Facing such an arrogant and wanton opponent, even Pei Yuqing, who was well-prepared, could not help but feel uneasy.

What can a scholar do when he meets a soldier?

Lu Ziyan was determined to get her, and even threatened to chop him into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs...

In fact, it was all her fault.

She turned the Khan's generals and ministers into mortal enemies.

Pei Yuqing married her, so he had to face a madman like Lu Ziyan who did not play by the rules and did not care about anything.

If she had known earlier that Lu Ziyan's true identity was the legitimate son of the late queen and the future emperor, she would never have involved other men.

Now... it's too late to back down.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning was left with only guilt in her heart.

She stretched out her hand and pushed against his chest. This time he finally loosened his arms. Xie Wan Ning withdrew from his embrace and said, "Don't do this again."

"...Wanwan, you are not actually resisting," Pei Yuqing paused and said in a calm voice, "If you are really unwilling, I will not do this."

He had been watching her reaction...

Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning's face turned red instantly. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim under the layers of curtains. She pinched her palms to try to control her embarrassment and could not utter a word.

Pei Yuqing twisted her fingertips lightly, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."

He did not take the initiative to hug her again, and Xie Wan Ning was more than happy to do so. She turned her back to him and fell asleep.

…………

The next day, he returned to the Duke of Pei's Mansion.

It was a freezing cold winter, and except for the servants sweeping the snow in the courtyard, the entire Pei Mansion was very quiet and peaceful. No one knew that they had not returned home all night.

No one, including Princess Duanyang, came to inquire about it. Xie Wan Ning was relieved and pretended nothing happened.

Not long after lunch, Pei Yuxuan, wrapped in a turmeric cloak, appeared in Xuanhuayuan in the wind and snow.

His big eyes were red, maybe because of the cold or something.

Seeing this, Xie Wan Ning hurriedly called Yuanzhu Yuanyue to bring hot tea.

I thought that in such weather, the other party must have something important to discuss with me, but I never expected that Pei Yuxuan just looked listless and lazy the whole afternoon.

Xie Wan Ning called two musicians to play and sing a new song.

The aunt and the sister-in-law sat like this for the whole afternoon, eating tea and snacks.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened and Pei Yuxuan was about to say goodbye and leave that her gloomy look gradually disappeared. She drank the hot tea in the cup, sat up straight, and said, "Sister-in-law, when spring comes, my mother will arrange a marriage for me."

Xie Wan Ning was stunned.

Pei Yuxuan added: "If you like someone, you should be happy. I don't want to like your brother anymore. From now on, I will only listen to my mother when it comes to marriage."

This sister-in-law, who was so innocent and lively the day before, seemed to have grown up overnight.

Xie Wan Ning hesitated and said, "Yesterday... my brother..." "Don't blame him," Pei Yuxuan sniffed, smiled at her, and said, "Brother Xie is a very good person. I asked him and he doesn't like me, so I don't like him anymore."

As she spoke, she avoided the hand of her personal maid, put on her cloak herself, and bowed slightly to Xie Wan Ning to say goodbye.

Xie Wan Ning sent her to the gate of the courtyard and felt a little sad as he watched her back getting farther and farther away.

The daughter of a princess who grew up in great pampering always walked with a breeze in her step, and now she has the dignified demeanor of a noble lady.

Even the proud and noble little princess is not perfect...

She was really curious. Did her brother really want to find a fairy?
Not long after Pei Yuxuan left, and Xie Wan Ning had not yet turned around to go back to the courtyard, Pei Yuqing happened to come back from the front yard. He saw the graceful figure of the little girl standing under the eaves from afar, and his heart suddenly softened.

He walked up the steps quickly, held her hand, frowned and said, "It's so cold, and you don't even put on a coat when you go out."

"Xuan'er just left. I'll see her off," Xie Wan Ning withdrew her hand, turned and walked towards the main hall.

It was already time for dinner and the meal had been placed in the side room. The two of them ate together and it was already dark outside.

Xie Wan Ning looked at the man who was about to follow her into the house, pointed at the door and said, "Get out."

Pei Yuqing paused and asked, "Where should I go?"

"Go where you slept before," Xie Wan Ning said, "You are not allowed to move back!"

Don’t move back...

Pei Yuqing stood at the door. He lowered his eyes when he heard the words. He pondered over them. After a few moments of silence, he closed the door with his backhand.

The sound of the door closing made Xie Wan Ning turn around. Seeing the man who had not left, she frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Pei Yuqing looked at her steadily, "Do you really want me to leave?"

As he said that, he walked a few steps to her, looked down at her, and said, "Wanwan, why do you want me to leave?"

Xie Wan Ning discovered that this person had changed a lot.

Before, he had always obeyed her and never resisted when she bullied him. She was the only one who had the final say.

They are playing tricks on you, and they do it secretly, and they will cheat you without you knowing.

But now, she won't let him move back, and he will question her.

Didn't he move out on his own initiative?

Or maybe, the previous gentleness and good temper were just appearance.

Now, this man with a faint sense of oppression, is this his true nature?
Maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg...

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning's lips twitched unconsciously. She really admired how he could pretend to be so gentle and harmless at his age to trick her.

The man in front of her stared at her with scorching eyes. Xie Wan Ning's hair-combing movements gradually became stiff. She paused, put down the jade comb in her hand, and said bluntly: "I'm still angry, so I don't want to sleep with you."

This reason is reasonable.

Pei Yuqing paused for a moment, leaned closer, and asked, "How long?"

Xie Wan Ning was puzzled. She raised her eyes and met his deep gaze. She froze for a moment before suddenly tilting her head and saying, "I'll tell you when I'm no longer angry."

"What do I need to do to make you calm down?" He seemed determined to keep pestering her until the end, asking, "What do I need to do to make you calm down?"

Xie Wan Ning said, "Can't we live the same way we lived before?"

"Not so good," Pei Yuqing lowered her eyelids and said, "Wanwan, I want to hold you while sleeping."

Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but push him away and said angrily, "Why are you like a lustful devil!"

Pei Yuqing: “…”

It was probably the first time in his life that someone called him a sex maniac, and his eyes were dazed for a moment.

After he realized what was happening, a hint of discomfort flashed across his face. He turned sideways, stood for a while, and said with difficulty, "Then I'll go out."

Xie Wan Ning nodded.

It was not until he heard the door close again that he reached out and touched his flushed face, full of regret.

How could she curse like that!
And... why didn't he refute it?
…………

In the following days, the couple, who had apparently consummated their marriage, continued to live separately.

New Year's Day soon arrived. This was the first time in Xie Wan Ning's life that she spent the New Year at her husband's home.

The Pei family has a small population, but their New Year banquet is very grand.

After the New Year, during the first month of the year, the ancestral hall was opened for several days to worship the ancestors. It was not Xie Wan Ning's turn as the new bride to take care of such things, so she was happy to have some free time.

The Lantern Festival soon arrived, and a lantern-viewing banquet was held in the palace.

In the new year, Xie Wan Ning entered the palace for the first time, but the situation was completely different from the last time.

Lu Ziyan has regained his status as a prince, changed his surname to Qi, and was crowned with the Royal Jade Butterfly. The emperor even personally bestowed a courtyard for him as his palace.

When the news that he was not a descendant of the Lu family reached the ears of several ladies of the Lu family, old Madam Lu fainted on the spot. The old lady was very old, and although she was treated in time by the imperial physician, she still looked like she had a stroke. Half of her body was numb, and she could no longer move freely.

Madam Lu was also greatly shocked. Only then did everyone realize that Marquis Lu had not told the women in his family about sending the prince to foster care at home.

Before anyone could sigh that the loyal and brave Lu family had become extinct, Lu Ziyan revealed that there was a bloodline of the second branch of the Lu family left behind, and it was the son of his pregnant concubine whom he brought back from Bianzhou.

It turned out that the second master of the Lu family who died in the battlefield had a son who was living outside, and the pregnant concubine brought back by Lu Ziyan was his son's widow.

Now that Lu Ziyan has regained his status as a prince, Lu Yunpei has naturally become the only heir of the Lu family.

So... Lu Ziyan did not keep a concubine before getting married, nor did he have a concubine's son before marrying a wife.

He is still the same killing god who is not interested in women, treats his fiancée differently, and is dedicated to killing his enemies.

...and because of the rumors, he lost his fiancée.

When they thought about the stern young general who traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing just to stop his fiancée from getting married, some of the softer-hearted ladies were deeply moved.

After all, there was suddenly an adult prince, and a legitimate prince with great military achievements. He was a real-life version of steel turning into soft silk. After his deeds spread, Lu Ziyan almost became a contemporary love saint in the eyes of the people in Beijing.

These rumors were spreading widely and naturally reached Xie Wan Ning's ears.

Her jaw dropped in shock. Even with ten brains, she couldn't associate the word "love saint" with Lu Ziyan.

Thanks to this contemporary love saint, the name Xie Wan Ning once again became the most frequently mentioned noble lady in the capital, from high-ranking officials to peddlers.

But this time, many people who had never seen her or were not familiar with her were extremely curious about her.

What kind of girl could make a young hero like Lu Ziyan bow down to her?

There are several versions of their love story.

Most of them are about the sadness of people in love who cannot be together.

Some people also blamed Xie Wan Ning for resolutely breaking off the engagement and getting married in a hurry.

In short, a strong-willed young general like Lu Ziyan has become the object of everyone's love in those stories.

Because it was the end of the year, Xie Wan Ning hadn't been out for more than half a month, so even though she had heard a little about it, she hadn't experienced it personally.

It was not until this palace banquet that Xie Wan Ning attended with Pei Yuqing. As soon as she entered the palace, she could feel many eyes focused on her...
