Chapter 7

At least he didn't give her hope, but chose to burst her naivety.

That's right, there was no need for him to lie to her.

After all, in his eyes, she loved him very much, and no matter how cruel and ruthless he was, she would follow him firmly.

Lu Ziyan looked at her red eyelids, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the other person in the distance had already walked closer.

She must have heard the conversation here, the woman in a plain dress tilted her neck slightly, bowed charmingly, and said in a gentle voice: "My concubine greets you, sister."

Xie Wan Ning's body suddenly stiffened, and she slowly turned sideways. Her expression was calm: "What did you call me?"

The woman seemed frightened. She slightly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ziyan carefully. She whispered, "Lu Lang, have I overstepped my bounds?"

"It's indeed overstepping the bounds," Xie Wan stared at the concubine who had repeatedly provoked him in his dream, and said calmly, "My mother only has me as a daughter, and she didn't give me another sister. I don't have the hobby of finding a sister everywhere. Remember this, don't call me the wrong name next time."

"Wanwan!" Lu Ziyan narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Rouniang came to Beijing with me from Bianzhou alone, without anyone to rely on. She just called you sister, is it worth you to bully her like this? When did you become so mean?"

"Lu Lang, please don't be angry with me and my sister... and Miss Xie," Liu Manrou's face was full of fear and cowardice. "I just thought that we are all serving you, and you are the wife of the principal wife. I am calling you sister... ah!"

Before she could finish her words, Xie Wan Ning had already slapped her. The woman took it well, and a complete slap mark immediately appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

Xie Wan Ning smiled and rubbed her palms, saying nonchalantly: "I didn't want to hit you, but you deserve it. I am the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion. Who are you to dare to call me sister?"

It's so ridiculous. Her mother hasn't even given her a younger sister, but just because she's going to get married, she has become the sister of a lowly maid for no reason.

Is she crazy in the dream?

Rouniang's face swelled up quickly. She covered her face with one hand and held her stomach with the other. She almost fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Lu Ziyan reached out and grabbed her arm to pull her back, but his eyes were always on Xie Wan Ning. His face was so gloomy that it was unbearable to look at. All his patience was exhausted: "What on earth are you making a fuss about? How many men in this world only have one wife and don't take two women? Not to mention the situation of my Lu family?"

"Don't be upset, Mr. Lu. It was me who made Miss Xie unhappy, so it was right for her to punish me." The woman beside him wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her face full of tear marks, but she still said in humiliation: "I will never dare to do it again."

Xie Wan Ning looked at the couple in front of her. They were truly in love with each other, which made her look like the villain who broke up the couple in the story.

After a long silence, she suddenly asked curiously, "You have been in Bianzhou for only two months, and you have met such a congenial girl. Can you tell me how you two met?"

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Lu Ziyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and waved his hand again, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"I often read those storybooks, but I never thought there are lovers like you in the world who can make people want to cry." She was so moved that she shed a tear, wiped it with her hand, and praised: "Since I am lucky enough to meet you, I will help you."

She thought that even if his attitude towards her became increasingly cold, it was only because he had grown up and shouldered heavy responsibilities, and had to become more mature.

They both love each other and have a tacit understanding that there will be no third party involved in this marriage.

Now it seems that she was wrong. Since it is a mistake, it should be corrected.

"Brother Ziyan, this is the last time I call you that." Xie Wan Ning stood up straight, took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became serious. He said seriously: "In fact, you should have told me these thoughts earlier, so that we wouldn't have a marriage."

"Xie Wan Ning, what do you mean?" Lu Ziyan's face changed, and he stepped forward to hold her shoulders, but Xie Wan Ning took two steps back to avoid him, and raised her voice, "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

She said calmly, "Let's call off our marriage. I want to laugh when I think about how I will have countless 'good sisters' in the rest of my life because of you."

As she said this, she couldn't help laughing when she thought of herself being humiliated in her dream, and stared blankly at the stern face of the person in front of her.

If I hadn't had those dreams, if she hadn't been humiliated and their love hadn't been severed in the dreams.

She might really insist on marrying him. Even if she knew that he had a mistress, she would not be willing to give up their relationship of so many years easily.

The sudden announcement of "the marriage is called off" made Liu Manrou, who was acting aggrieved, stop crying and look surprised.

This was the first time she met the prince's fiancée. She was dressed in light green riding clothes, looked heroic, and had a pretty face, red lips, white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. It was obvious that she was a girl who had never suffered any injustice.

This is a famous noble lady in the capital, and only a lady of such status is worthy of being welcomed into the Wuyuan Marquis's mansion as the principal wife.

Only a noble lady who has never been wronged can easily say "cancel the marriage".

Lu Ziyan's expression completely changed. He took two steps forward to stand in front of Xie Wan Ning and put his hand on her shoulder. "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Xie Wan Ning pushed away the hand that he had just held Liu Man Niang's arm and nodded calmly: "I know."

"Then do you know that marriage is no joke? We are going to get married in fifty-one days?" Lu Ziyan did not let go, and even tightened his fingers. Taking advantage of his height advantage, he was full of pressure: "She is just an insignificant woman. You want to break off the engagement with me for her?"

With the light behind her, Xie Wan Ning couldn't see his expression clearly, and she just found it funny when she heard what he said.

This woman he brought back from Bianzhou is probably pregnant with his eldest son now. How could she be insignificant?

"I think very clearly, Lu Ziyan, I like you, but I can't have countless 'good sisters' because of you,"

She endured the grip on her shoulder and tried her best to keep her tone calm: "These insignificant women you mentioned will be your legitimate concubines in the future. She or they will give birth to your children, and you will hold them in your arms when you sleep."

She felt unbearable just saying it out loud, so she took a deep breath and looked at him and said, "I can't be the tolerant and generous wife in your mind. For the sake of your Lu family's succession, not only can I not be jealous, but I have to arrange a breeding time for you and them."

Deathly silence.

Lu Ziyan didn't know what he was thinking and was stunned.

"I was ignorant before. I didn't even consider that the pressure of the Lu family's heir was all on you. I made things difficult for you. I'm sorry, I won't do it again in the future." Xie Wan Ning pried open the fingers on her shoulder one by one, "Now, please let me go."
