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

Chapter 49

"Bang" sound.

"You are bullying me because there is no one in the Xie family!" Xie Shu slammed the table and stood up, furious.

After Xie Yanyu sent his sister back to the courtyard, he went to find his father and reported the matter. He did not mention the details, but only said that after Lu Ziyan saw his sister, he stopped her and would not let her leave.

Seeing his father so angry, he said slowly, "Lu Ziyan is so rampant. He has offended many people in the past two years. Someone will report him for this matter in the morning court tomorrow. Father, why don't you draft a memorial and ask His Majesty to administer justice."

Xie Shu was thinking the same thing. Hearing this, he thought about it for a moment, called his confidant, and said, "Go and invite Masters Liu and Jiang to come over for a chat."

These two gentlemen are on good terms with the Xie family and have a say in the court. With the three of them working together, even if the emperor really favors the Lu family, he will still have to take them into consideration.

After all, logically speaking, Lu Ziyan was the one who was at fault first.

While the Xie family's father and son were discussing how to seek justice, Zheng, who had heard the news, had already arrived at her daughter's Jianxiayuan.

After Xie Wan Ning took a shower and came out of the bathroom, she saw her mother waiting for her in the house.

Zheng picked up a handkerchief and wrung out her daughter's hair herself. She looked at her daughter's jade-white face in the bronze mirror and said lovingly, "My daughter has been wronged today."

Xie Wan Ning's nose felt sore. Afraid that her mother would worry, she tried to comfort her, "He didn't gain any advantage. He fought with the Pei family guards and was watched by so many people. There must be more people laughing at him than at me."

After all, it was he who stopped the girl from leaving after the engagement was broken off.

No matter who sees it, Lu Ziyan's behavior today was truly ungraceful and unpresentable.

And Xie Wan Ning was at best a weak woman who was harassed by her ex-fiancé.

From another perspective, the more Lu Ziyan is reluctant to let go, the more it proves how good Xie Wanning is.

only……

Zheng pulled her daughter to sit down, looked at her expression carefully, and asked tentatively: "Wanwan, tell me the truth, Master Pei and you... is he interested in you?"

Xie Wan Ning was stunned and hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.

Except for the fact that Pei Yuqing was the leader of the Qingtian Guard, which was too secretive, she told him everything from the time they first met until today when that person protected her.

Zheng was a little shocked when she heard this. "You mean he has been in love with you for a long time, but you don't remember when you met him?"

She frowned slightly and said with a hint of disapproval: "Calculate the age, he is eleven years older than you."

"I didn't say I wanted to marry him." Xie Wan Ning couldn't bring herself to talk about how she proposed to him and was rejected. She just whispered, "Besides, being eleven years older doesn't matter. I see he looks like he's in his early twenties."

Pei Yuqing had just come to Xie's house a few days ago, so Zheng had certainly seen him before. Thinking of him now, she couldn't help but nod her head: "He is indeed very pretty, and his temperament seems to be much better than Lu Ziyan's."

Lu Ziyan has a bad temper. He didn't seem to care much about the engagement when the two families were engaged, but now that the engagement has been cancelled, he is pestering her instead.

Relying on his force, he was able to stop the girl from leaving.

Comparing the two, Zheng really didn't think that being eleven years older was a big deal.

"If Wanwan is interested, I have no objection..."

Then, she hesitated and asked, "But, is Master Pei really as unhealthy as the rumors say?"

...It doesn't look like it.

"Rumors are misleading. From my observations of the few times I've seen him, he's in good health." Seeing her mother's satisfied expression, Xie Wan Ning quickly said, "Don't think too much, mother. I haven't planned to get married yet." According to her heart, she had no intention of getting married. The tragedy of post-marriage was so vivid in her dream that she was completely scared.

Being a daughter to your parents is much happier than being a wife or daughter-in-law to others.

However, Lu Ziyan went crazy today just because he saw her appreciating flowers alone with others. If she stayed at home, could he really let her live a peaceful life?

When Xie Wan Ning thought about the future, where she might be entangled by Lu Ziyan endlessly, she felt a darkness before her eyes.

The idea of ​​just finding someone to spend the rest of my life with came back to me again.

Today she is still unmarried, and relying on the fact that they had previously been engaged, although his behavior of stopping her halfway was arrogant and overbearing, if you really want to talk seriously, he can also defend himself as a lovesick man who can't let go of his ex-fiancee and wants to try to win her back.

And once she gets married to someone else, if Lu Ziyan dares to stop her halfway, it would be considered bullying.

Once the thought of getting married to get rid of Lu Ziyan's entanglement appeared again, it became uncontrollable.

Zheng stayed and had dinner with her daughter before leaving.

That night, Xie Wan Ning lay on the couch, tossing and turning, thinking about many things.

Counting all the men she knew, if she really wanted to get married, Pei Yuqing would undoubtedly be the best candidate.

After all, she felt a little nervous when she thought about Lu Ziyan's madness today. If she married into a family of lower status, she was afraid he would not give up easily.

Pei Yuqing's status is noble. The eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister, and she holds a great importance in the emperor's heart.

He is the nephew of the current emperor, and they are closely related by blood. The eldest princess has been waiting for him to marry for so many years...

If she really wanted to marry into the Duke of Pei's Mansion as the Crown Prince's Consort, no matter how arrogant Lu Ziyan was or how great his contributions were, he would have to think carefully.

The most important thing is that Pei Yuqing has excellent character. When things are over and she wants to regain her freedom, he will definitely not refuse.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning felt that there was no better candidate than him.

She didn't even feel any repulsion in her heart to marry such a dignified man.

Just before falling asleep, Xie Wan Ning was thinking that it was a good thing that Lu Ziyan would be away from Beijing for a few months, which would give her some time to catch her breath.

At least give her time to calm down and think about what she should do.

She finally fell asleep until her head became dizzy from thinking.

Perhaps it was because his sleep quality had been poor during these days, or perhaps it was because he was frightened during the day. Xie Wan Ning didn’t know how long he had slept before he felt a little thirsty. He opened his eyes drowsily, only to find a dark shadow standing in front of the bed.

She thought she was dazzled. After blinking, the figure had not disappeared yet. She jumped up in fright and opened her mouth to shout halfway before her mouth was covered.

"It's me," the man said in a low voice, patting her shoulder as if to comfort her, "The maids and old women guarding the courtyard have all been pressed to make them sleep, but you still have to speak softly so as not to alarm the guards patrolling the outer courtyard."

After all, if a group of guards rushed in and saw a man standing in front of their daughter's bed...

A low laugh came from the darkness, and the hand covering the lips loosened.

“Lu Ziyan!” Xie Wan Ning huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging the quilt. Her voice was anxious and angry, and she couldn’t believe it: “Are you crazy?”
