Chapter 91
Lu Ziyan thought about it for a long time, trying to figure out where the problem lay.
What is certain is that the self in this world is really afraid of something.
Political enemies in the court?
He was born into a family of loyal heroes, but he did not rest on his father's merits. He got to where he is today entirely due to his own strength. He has long been far ahead of his peers and has never stood in anyone's way. His future is bright.
Even if someone really is dissatisfied with his arrogant temperament, they will never confront him without a huge conflict of interest.
If there really was such a political enemy, it is impossible that he had not discovered it before.
Looking at the entire court, the person who could make him so afraid that he would even ignore his own wife was definitely not a court official.
Could it be... the one on the dragon throne?
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyan frowned again and quickly rejected it.
If the one sitting on the throne really wanted to suppress him, there would have been no need for him to go to the trouble of training him over the years.
He was valued, given military power and trusted.
If it’s not him, who else could it be?
Who else could make me so fearful?
This blatant favoritism towards his concubine and neglect of his wife made everyone think that he liked Liu Manrou and was cold and ruthless towards his wife.
Lu Ziyan wanted to find out the truth, but for some reason, he couldn't leave Xie Wan Ning's side.
It was as if he had entered this dream because some mysterious being wanted him to witness with his own eyes all the suffering she had endured in this world where she had insisted on marrying him.
I can only watch all this from Xie Wan Ning's perspective.
What a waste!
Lu Ziyan cursed through gritted teeth.
He had been dissatisfied with this "self" for a long time. How could he be so useless that he married her but couldn't even take good care of her.
Two years!
Wanwan had already gone through such hard times for a year, and he actually wanted her to wait for two more years!
Lu Ziyan was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening.
The story is still moving forward slowly.
Perhaps it was Xie Wan Ning's indifference that made Lu Ziyan feel uneasy. In the few days before leaving Beijing, he came to Shaoguangyuan every day.
He would start asking her what she was busy with during the day, but Xie Wan Ning was no longer in the mood to talk.
Seeing that she was not in high spirits, he took the initiative to talk about the gossip he had heard outside.
Xie Wan Ning would occasionally make a "hmm" sound in response, no longer as enthusiastic as before.
The bright and charming girl had been married for only a year, but she had already become silent and taciturn due to her husband's cold treatment day after day.
During their time alone, apart from their arguments on the bed, the two of them mostly remained silent.
But even in sex, there is no more crazy infatuation as when they were newly married.
One of them pursed his lips and endured it, while the other one was teasing him cruelly.
The more indifferent and resistant she was, the more diligent and aggressive he became.
The night before leaving Beijing, Lu Ziyan visited in the dark.
At that time, Xie Wan Ning was taking a bath, and he actually broke in. Er Qing and a few little girls naturally couldn't stop him, and they knelt on the ground beside him.
He waved away the servants and slowly walked into the bathtub.
Steam rose up, revealing the girl inside naked. Her exposed neck, collarbone and shoulders were all covered with the marks he had left last night, as beautiful as a plum blossom slowly blooming in the snow.
Xie Wan Ning panicked and shrank back into the bucket again, with a blush on her face, whether it was out of embarrassment or from the heat.
Lu Ziyan looked at her steadily for a long while, then suddenly reached out and lifted her chin.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xie Wan Ning saw the lust in his eyes. Her mind suddenly exploded, and she said in a trembling voice, "My makeup and hair are not in order, so it is inconvenient for me to meet people. Please step aside for now."
"Wanwan forgot, I've seen you in all your miserable state." Lu Ziyan leaned closer and whispered, "But we haven't bathed together yet..."
As he spoke, he reached his hand into the water. Xie Wan Ning quickly dodged, covering her chest, and repeated, "You get out first!"
Lu Ziyan paused, and seeing that she really didn't want to be here, he slowly withdrew his hand. He seemed helpless and said, "You and I are husband and wife, why should we be so formal?"
Xie Wan Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I am your wife."
But how do you treat me differently from a concubine who serves in bed?
Come in a hurry at night and leave in the morning satisfied.
Lu Ziyan didn’t know what she was thinking, but he could tell that she was feeling aggrieved.
He scratched her nose with his finger, sighed softly, and finally walked out.
When she came out of the bathroom, he was sitting on the soft chair by the window, looking outside, not knowing what he was thinking. He turned around when he heard footsteps, and saw her coming out, so he stood up and walked towards her.
Xie Wanning clenched the fingers in her sleeves suddenly.
Lu Ziyan took the soft handkerchief and wiped her long hair, and naturally felt her stiffness.
"What are you nervous about?"
Xie Wan Ning didn't say anything.
Lu Ziyan's eyes dimmed. During this period, she spoke less and less to him.
"I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow," he wiped her hair bit by bit, and said calmly, "I'll be back in March at the least, and May at the most."
Xie Wan Ning nodded softly.
"I said I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow," Lu Ziyan looked at her without blinking, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"...I hope your trip goes well."
"That's it?" His expression darkened.
Xie Wanning looked puzzled, "Or else?"
Lu Ziyan frowned and stopped talking.
Over the past few days, he has shown goodwill and made concessions many times, but she still maintains that cold and indifferent attitude.
It seems to keep people away from it.
His expression was really not nice, and Xie Wan Ning felt a little uneasy.
Until my hair was completely dry, I was held by his wrist and pressed down on the couch. I subconsciously turned my head away, and when I met his cold eyes, I hurriedly made up a random conversation.
"I just embroidered a sachet a few days ago, do you want it?"
The coldness in Lu Ziyan's eyes gradually eased and he let go of her wrist.
Xie Wan Ning hurriedly crawled out from under him, ran to the embroidery basket on the side cabinet of the dressing table, and took out a sachet embroidered with colorful Fuwa and gave it to him.
In fact, judging from the pattern, this sachet was definitely not given to him.
But Lu Ziyan's angry chest was instantly calmed.
The little doll embroidered on the plain sachet was round and cute. His heart softened and he stroked the delicate lines with his thumb, staring at it in a daze.
After a long while, he said, "Wanwan, wait for me to come back, and I will give you everything you want."
Everything I give you will be more than you ever imagined.
His voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear, but Xie Wan Ning was stunned when she heard it. Her eyes fell on the sachet, and she knew that he might have misunderstood.
Did he think that she was eager to have a child?
After all, they had been married for more than a year and she had never been pregnant.
But this sachet was just embroidered by her on a whim based on a pattern she found at random.
They already hate each other, who wants to have a child with him?
Her waist felt tighter, and Lu Ziyan had already put down the sachet in his hand and embraced her again.
Xie Wan Ning's whole body froze, she stretched out her hand and pushed him away, saying, "I feel a little uncomfortable, can you let me rest for a day?"
I was in the black room before chapter 89, but now I am out. If you haven't read it, you can go and watch it~~
