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

Chapter 80

It was not until after dinner, when it was already late at night and the noisy sounds in the front hall gradually died down, that Xie Wan Ning realized belatedly that she was feeling a little embarrassed.

...Today is their wedding day, and tonight is their wedding night.

Bridal night with flowers and candles...

The maids cleared the leftovers on the table. Er Qing came over and bowed, saying, "Miss, I will help you wash up."

Xie Wan Ning turned her head to look at the young man sitting on the couch, and met a pair of eyes with a happy smile. Her face turned red and she hurried into the bathroom.

When he came out again, the person on the couch had changed out of his wedding clothes and was leaning against the head of the bed in only a thin nightgown.

Under the candlelight, his profile was handsome and cold, without even a hint of worldly air. He looked like a trumpet creeper blooming on the steep cliffs of a mountain, untainted by the mundane world.

If someone else saw it, they would probably feel ashamed and stay away from it.

But Xie Wan Ning not only did not show any respect, but was full of complacency.

No matter how cold and lonely you are, you still have to wait for her on the couch.

Thinking of this, she sat in front of the dressing mirror while the maids wrung out her hair, but she heard the man on the couch say, "Everyone get out."

Er Qing was startled and looked at her master.

Xie Wan Ning raised her hand, and then led Yuanzhu and Yuanyue to retreat together.

They were alone in the room again. The man on the couch got off, walked behind her, picked up a cotton towel and twisted her hair.

The man behind her moved gently and carefully. Xie Wan Ning enjoyed the attentive service. She squinted her eyes and looked at the person behind her through the bronze mirror. She was about to tease him, but the moment their eyes met, she saw the complex and difficult to distinguish emotions in his black eyes, and she was stunned.

"Did something happen?"

How come she was just taking a bath, but his expression no longer had the gentle look he had just now?

Hearing this, Pei Yuqing kept moving his hands and opened his mouth to answer, but at this moment, they both heard a hoarse shout coming from outside the door.

"!!!"

Xie Wan Ning stood up suddenly, her face pale with shock: "Lu Ziyan is back?"

This was clearly Lu Ziyan's voice.

"Well, I'm back," Pei Yuqing pressed her shoulders and said, "Your hair is not dry yet, sit down and talk."

Xie Wan Ning was flustered, seeing his calm appearance, she could only sit down as he said and asked anxiously, "When did he come back?"

She had never mentioned Lu Ziyan these days, and she really thought that he was still in Yunzhou suppressing the rebellion and it was impossible for him to come back to cause trouble.

But at this moment, the sound outside the door was clearly audible.

They are about to make a scene at the door of the new house.

Pei Yuqing said: "After you and I set the wedding date, Ming Jian wanted to find out, so we couldn't keep it a secret for long."

They only had ten days to send out wedding invitations and invite relatives and friends. How could Ming Jian, who was also in the capital, not get the news?

Once the letter is delivered to Yunzhou, with Yunjin's speed, Lu Ziyan will be able to get the news in five or six days. He has a famous horse called Benyun, and he can travel all the way back under the stars and moon, so he can really catch up...

Just as she was sorting out her thoughts, she heard the sound of swords clashing outside the door.

Pei Yuqing put the towel in his hand aside, held her shoulders, lowered his head to kiss the top of her fragrant hair in a soothing manner, and asked in a low voice: "I'm going out for a while, do you want to come with me?"

Xie Wan Ning's breathing stagnated, and after hesitating for a few breaths, he shook his head and said, "I won't go."

She was already married and was now a legitimate wife of the Pei family. How could she go to see her ex-fiancé who broke into her husband's house at night? Pei Yuqing looked at her tenderly and patted her head: "Don't be afraid, I've said it before, as long as you don't regret it, he can't take you away."

As he said this, he put on a coat, opened the door and walked out.

As soon as he walked out, Er Qing walked in with a panicked look on her face.

Xie Wan Ning stood up and looked out the window, "What's going on outside?"

"A fight has broken out, and many guards have arrived," Er Qing supported her and whispered, "I only saw Master Lu being besieged by a group of guards, but I dare not take a closer look at what happened."

Xie Wan Ning’s whole body stiffened.

The guests in the front yard haven't left yet, and there's already such a big commotion here...

It is conceivable that after tonight, the three of them will become a long-lasting topic of conversation among the people of Beijing.

Xie Wan Ning was no longer able to care about those things. She clenched her palms, her mind flashing with the scene of Er Qing being beaten to death, and then the image of Lu Ziyan's gloomy and dead look.

I almost couldn't help but walk out and ask him what he wanted to do!
But in the end, she paced back and forth for a while and finally sat back down on the couch.

…………

Outside Xuanhua Courtyard.

Lu Ziyan, who had rushed back through wind and rain, held a spear in his hand and challenged dozens of guards from the Duke of Pei's mansion alone.

The guards showed no mercy to those who broke into the private residence with sharp weapons, and Lu Ziyan was even more brutal in his moves.

Ever since he received the letter in Yunzhou, his chest had been burning and aching every moment. When he saw the yard decorated with lights and colors, he was completely furious.

He shot away one of the guards who rushed over, but he had been traveling for several days and nights and was physically tired. In addition, his mind was fluctuating violently at the moment, so he was caught in vulnerable positions and injured and bleeding several times.

The dark clothes were soaked with blood, but Lu Ziyan seemed unaware of it. His eyes were fixed on a window not far away that was lit by candlelight and had a big red wedding character on it.

The girl is inside now, in the new house with that other man.

...He had to take her back and absolutely couldn't let her marry someone else.

This obsession supported him to stand here and not fall down.

Until the door that had been locked all the time was opened and a tall figure walked out, Lu Ziyan paused. In a flash, several guards took advantage of the opportunity and pounced on him. He flipped his arm and used his spear to knock away a guard who pounced on him, but his left arm was cut by a sword again.

The woman who had fought bravely without frowning, when she saw the man coming out of the bridal chamber having already changed out of his wedding clothes, her taut jaw trembled slightly, and her heart seemed to be tied with a heavy object and falling straight down.

Falling into the bottomless blood.

What were they doing in there while he was fighting here?
Why did you change clothes?

Lu Ziyan felt a sweetness in his throat and suddenly stopped his attack. Most of the guards in Pei Mansion were intimidated by his surging aura and did not dare to step forward for a moment.

Only a few were still swinging their swords, but they were stopped by their master who came out.

Pei Yuqing took a few steps forward and looked at the man in front of him whom he had been madly jealous of, annoyed with, and resented.

After a long while, he faced the other party's murderous eyes and smiled slightly, saying: "If you still have a trace of rationality, please go back. It will be of no benefit to you to continue making trouble."

This was a marriage personally granted by the Emperor, and his coming to disrupt it was not only a sign of disregard for the Duke of Pei's Mansion, but also a slap in the face of the Emperor.

No matter how great his achievements are, a subject is still a subject after all, and it is a taboo to become arrogant due to favor.

Lu Ziyan pretended not to hear anything, pointed his spear at the other side, and said word by word: "Pei Yuqing, do you know what will happen to those who dare to touch me?"
