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

Chapter 36

In the living room.

The old housekeeper stood at the door. When he saw Xie Wan Ning coming, he bowed and welcomed her in.

The people inside heard the noise and looked over.

As Xie Wan Ning entered the room, her eyes met his.

Appearance reflects the heart. Lu Ziyan's facial features are just like his temperament, sharp and fierce.

He had deep eyes and a straight nose. He just sat there without saying a word, and he exuded a cold and indifferent feeling.

He had been waiting for half the afternoon, but there was not a trace of impatience in his eyes. When he saw her coming, his stern face seemed to soften a little.

He moved his lips: "Wanwan..."

Xie Wan Ning ignored him and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face while ordering the maid to bring her a bowl of ice milk.

She has always been afraid of heat. Although it was only early summer, she still had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead after running all the way here.

After the servants left, she didn't bother to exchange pleasantries. She brought some iced milk, sat across the spacious hall from him, and said directly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The look of not taking him seriously at all made Lu Ziyan narrow his eyes slightly.

He still couldn't get used to the fact that this girl had become so cold towards him.

But it was indeed he who hurt her heart, and it was his own fault.

Properly suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he stood up and walked over.

"Stop!" Thinking of his two previous impolite actions, Xie Wan Ning said cautiously, "If you have anything to say, just say it right there."

Lu Ziyan paused for a moment and said softly, "I just want to have a good talk with you. You don't have to worry about what I might do to you."

He continued to walk over, his eyes falling on her face, "Your guards are outside the door. If I have been disrespectful, you can just call them in."

Xie Wan Ning paused while holding the jade bowl, and said impatiently: "If you have never been rude, why would I worry?"

She couldn't tell him that whenever he came near her, her mind was filled with dreams of them getting along.

They were once husband and wife.

In the dream, not long after they got married, Liu Manrou was rumored to be pregnant, and Erxia had not yet been accepted by him. During that period, he came to her Shaoguangyuan frequently.

Every time he came, he would pull her into bed without saying a word.

They were newly married at that time, and she had not given up on him yet. She still thought that his love for doing those things to her meant that he liked her, and she never dared to reject him.

No matter how recklessly he indulged herself, in order to satisfy him, she forced herself to obey him and let him do whatever he wanted.

Later, after his cold treatment and favoritism day after day, I finally saw who he really cared about.

How ridiculous, she was his legal wife, but turned out to be just a backup when his concubine became pregnant and could not serve him.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning's expression turned cold, and he put down the jade cup: "What do you want to say? Say it quickly."

Last time at Marquis Wuyuan's Mansion, when she confirmed that her dream was true, servants followed her from a distance. But now, after Lu Ziyan returned to the capital, the two of them were truly alone together.

She was resisting with her whole body, and Lu Ziyan was so perceptive that he naturally noticed it. He sat down next to her, thought for a moment, and apologized, "That day at the Qucheng Marquis' Mansion, I was abrupt, and I didn't mean to be rude to you."

He just saw her hugging Pei Yuqing and was overwhelmed by jealousy. If he had a spear in his hand, he would probably have seen blood on the spot that day.

Thinking back on it now, I still feel so angry.

Lu Ziyan's eyes darkened, "Wanwan, you and Pei Yuqing..."

Xie Wanning frowned: "Is that what you came here to ask?"

Her tone was really impatient, and Lu Ziyan didn't say anything for a while. He didn't come here to make her angry, but he was too bothered in his heart.

After a few moments of silence, he said, "He is so much older than you, you don't want to..."

"That's enough," Xie Wan Ning interrupted him, "I just sprained my ankle that day, and he helped me up."

She sneered, "You don't have to judge others so highly."

Think of others as you are.

Their marriage was called off because it was Lu Ziyan's fault, and Xie Wan Ning had no intention of letting herself take the blame.

Her tone was mocking, but Lu Ziyan's lips curled up when he heard it. The pain in his heart that had been swollen for days finally eased. He said, "I believe you."

He believed that she still had him in her heart, but like him, she was jealous and hurt by his words that day.

Thinking of this, he lowered his voice even more: "Wanwan, can you ask me what you said that day again?"

Xie Wanning frowned even more tightly.

Did he take the wrong medicine?

Thinking about his promise to cancel the engagement after saying that, she managed to be patient and said, "I can't remember what I asked you that day."

"I remember," Lu Ziyan said, "you asked me who Liu Manrou was, how I planned to settle her, whether there was nothing wrong between her and me, and also asked..."

Xie Wan Ning listened to her stupid behavior without changing her expression, and said calmly: "If I ask you again, will you agree to cancel the engagement?"

Lu Ziyan hummed.

"Okay," Xie Wanning repeated calmly, "I want to ask you, who is your Rou Niang, how do you plan to settle her, and whether there is still innocence between you two."

"She is not mine." Lu Ziyan's eyes fell on her hands on the table.

The girl's slender fingers were tapping lightly on the table. In the hall where only the two of them were, in front of his eyes, her every move was filled with silent temptation.

He really wanted to hold her in his hands and play with her, and even better, hug her again, but he held back.

He raised his eyes, moved his gaze to her profile, and said slowly: "Liu Manrou is a maid in the mansion of a foreign official in Bianzhou. I brought her back to Beijing and planned to arrange for her to become a concubine in the second room of the Lu family, but there was nothing between her and me, and I never touched her."

"Don't believe those rumors. She is indeed pregnant, but the child is not mine."

Xie Wan Ning turned to look at him, stunned: "What do you mean by that?"

Why couldn't she understand anything?

He wanted to take Liu Manrou as his concubine, but the child she was pregnant with was not his.

Isn't this contradictory?
Xie Wan Ning raised her eyes to glance at the top of his head. Apart from the black jade hair crown, she didn't see any green light.

Her eyes were frank. Lu Ziyan paused, pursed his lips, and didn't bother with her.

He just asked, "Wanwan, do you still remember my second uncle?"

Xie Wan Ning nodded. She was ten years old when her second uncle died in the battle, so how could she not remember it.

She clearly remembered that although the second master of the Lu family was not the eldest son of the title, he had outstanding military achievements and was as famous as his brother.

Such a strong man is very affectionate to his wife. His backyard is clean and tidy, and he only has his wife.

They were a couple with a deep affection for each other. Among the noble ladies in the capital at that time, who did not secretly envy the second wife of the Lu family?

Her husband treated her with all his heart and only had room for her in his eyes. Her two sons were also very outstanding. Her mother-in-law was very tolerant and never sent anyone to her sons' backyard.

　I'm going crazy. Every time I upload the wrong chapters of the two books, I'm going to cry to death.
