Chapter 69
means……
Pei Yuqing raised his eyes and looked at her steadily. Xie Wan Ning looked at him without any fear. After a long while, he suddenly chuckled, "Wan Wan, I will never use any tricks on you."
He was unwilling to force her in the slightest, let alone restrain her by any means.
From the beginning to the end, all he wanted was for her to be willing and run towards him happily.
The scorching hot midsummer sun refracted through the gauze curtains of the car window and fell on Pei Yuqing's body, making the already noble and pure man appear even more gentle and elegant. He looked like a god in a temple, embracing all things in the world.
As Xie Wan Ning watched, she began to suspect that she might have misunderstood.
How could such a gentle person be so calculating in order to get her?
Her dislike for Lu Ziyan originated from her dream and was deepened by his tireless entanglement. What does it have to do with him?
How can it be blamed on him for no reason?
Besides, if the man in front of her hadn’t arrived in time, she didn’t know how badly Lu Ziyan would have bullied her…
Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning's suspicion disappeared, and she felt that she shouldn't wrongly accuse someone without any reason and just out of vigilance.
But she always remembered what Lu Ziyan said, that Liu Manrou was his cousin's concubine, and the child in her belly was also Lu Zishuo's posthumous child.
Pei Yuqing is in charge of the Sky Guards, he must be aware of the inside story...
He slowly clenched his knuckles in his sleeves, feeling mixed emotions.
On the one hand, I feel that there is nothing wrong with what others do, and no one will go out of their way to explain it to their love rival.
On the other hand, she felt that his behavior was inconsistent with the image of an upright gentleman in her mind.
After leaving the city gate, the road was not as smooth as that inside the city, and the carriage shook a little when passing through potholes occasionally.
Xie Wan Ning held onto a corner of the small table and sat back, deciding not to bother thinking about those things.
Anyway, she will definitely break off the engagement with Lu Ziyan.
No matter what the truth was, no matter whether Lu Ziyan had any relationship with Liu Manrou, she was determined to cancel the engagement.
The tragedy in the dream constantly reminded her that there was no way back. In this case, it didn't matter whether Pei Yuqing told her the truth or not.
She couldn't vent her anger on him.
Xie Wan Ning took a deep breath and was about to say something when the carriage suddenly stopped in an emergency.
"How dare you stop the carriage of the Duke's Mansion?"
Pei Er's questioning voice came from through the carriage curtain.
Then, a voice that Xie Wan Ning was very familiar with sounded.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Master Pei," the calm male voice said, neither humble nor arrogant, firm and steady: "I wonder if Miss Xie is in the car? My master has a letter..."
At this point, the sound of the sword stopped.
Because Xie Wan Ning had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, showing him the scene inside the carriage.
Just as the news he had received, the girl who had almost become his mistress had boarded the carriage of the Duke of Pei's Mansion, and was currently alone in a closed compartment with the Duke's mansion's prince.
Ming Jian's face turned ugly, but he still bowed and took out a letter from his sleeve, saying: "Thank you, Miss. Yun Jin didn't see you when he went to your house. The letter from the prince to you has come to my hands..."
"That's enough," Xie Wan Ning interrupted, impatiently saying, "I have already broken off my engagement with your family's prince. His letters can be sent to whomever he wants. Please don't get in the way."
"Before the prince left, he said that you promised to accept the letter sent by Yunjin." Ming Jian was so angry that his master's letter was disliked by others, and his voice was tense because of forbearance.
Xie Wan Ning became annoyed when she heard the three words "Lu Ziyan". Seeing that he was still blocking the way, her face turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, her hand was held by someone.
Pei Yuqing held her hand, squeezed it soothingly, and coaxed her, "Anger is harmful to your health. Don't get angry easily over trivial matters."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at the person blocking the car and said calmly, "Get out of the way."
Ming Jian not only did not move aside, but raised his head and looked at the man and woman in the car, his eyes were sharp: "Your marriage with my prince has been cancelled for less than a month, and he has been away from Beijing for less than half a decade. May I ask what you are doing, Miss Xie?"
Ming Jian had followed Lu Ziyan for many years, so Xie Wan Ning was actually no stranger to him. He had always been respectful and polite to her before, and had never been so impolite in his words.
Even in the dream where Lu Ziyan had a new love, Ming Jian's attitude towards her never changed, and he respected her as his mistress.
Now, his behavior of standing up for his master made Xie Wan Ning slightly stunned, and then she laughed out loud.
"What am I doing?" The impatience in her tone suddenly disappeared. She waved her hand, which was interlocked with Pei Yuqing, towards the young man in front of the carriage who could vaguely see the aura of his master, and smiled, "What do you think I am doing?"
The skin of the two clasped hands was as cold and white as jade, and even a little dazzling in the sunlight.
She smiled and said, "Of course I am traveling hand in hand with my new fiancé."
She deliberately pronounced the word "new" slowly, with a hint of tenderness. Pei Yuqing at the side couldn't help but glance sideways at the girl's pretty face, his Adam's apple rolling.
He pursed his lips and ordered the guards on his left and right to clear the road.
The opened curtain was lowered, blocking Ming Jian's sight. The last scene in front of him was the man and woman looking at each other affectionately.
When the guards of Pei's residence approached, he no longer blocked their way, but stood aside in a daze.
The only sound echoing in my ears was the girl's sweet voice saying "new fiancé".
...it's over.
He thought that the woman chosen by his son was indeed cruel.
Should he pass this news on to his master who has just arrived in Yunzhou?
After hearing this news, can he keep calm, quell the rebellion, and return to the court victoriously?
…………
The moment the wheels slowly rolled, the smile on Xie Wanning's face completely disappeared.
Ming Jian, who had always followed Lu Ziyan, did not go to Yunzhou this time.
No matter why he stayed in the capital, as long as he learned that she was about to get married, he would definitely not turn a blind eye to it.
He will definitely report it to Lu Ziyan, and when Lu Ziyan gets the news, will he come to disrupt her marriage?
The journey to Yunzhou is not far, and we can get back to Beijing in five or six days if we hurry...
The girl looked unhappy. Pei Yuqing pinched her palm and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Wan Ning did not hide it from him and expressed her worries. She added, "That man is a little crazy now. I can't imagine what he would do if he knew I was getting married."
She had always believed that she grew up with Lu Ziyan and knew him to some extent, but those dreams had already shattered most of her confidence.
Until that night when he broke into her boudoir, she could not believe that her cold and heartless childhood sweetheart would do such a thing.
He cornered her on the couch and forced her to promise to wait for him to come back.
He even hugged her despite her struggles and tried to scare her on purpose.
Bold, rude, and so arrogant that it almost seems crazy.
