Chapter 367 Thank you, she won’t marry

Cheng Fengqi?

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other with some confusion in their eyes. Why would Cheng Fengqi take the initiative to take care of this matter?

At this time, Cheng Fengqi had already arrived at Xuan Yue's residence. She now lived alone in a small house, and the only person who stayed by her side was her personal maid.

But what she didn't know was that the two houses to her left and right were inhabited by people who were monitoring her safety.

At this moment, Wang Yushi was leading people to block Xuan Yue's residence.

Xuan Yue took off her previous gorgeous clothes and wore simple cloth clothes, but she was still beautiful and her temperament was calm and composed.

Bang.

The door was kicked open and Wang Yushi walked in, her displeased eyes falling on Xuan Yue.

She looked him up and down, "Xuan Yue, how did you become like this?"

Both of them were noble ladies in the capital, and they had met each other at various banquets in the capital. Although they did not interact much, they at least knew each other.

Wang Yushi did not hide the disgust in her tone at all, and looked at Xuan Yue, who was dressed simply, as if she was looking at something dirty.

Xuan Yue was calm and collected. She looked up at Wang Yushi and said, "Second Miss Wang, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Wang Yushi was even more disgusted, "Don't say that, you are a criminal now, what can I do to you?"

Xuan Yue didn't say anything, but just smiled knowingly and waited for Wang Yushi's next words.

If Wang Yushi was really okay, she wouldn't be here.

Wang Yushi raised her chin and said, "I came here today to warn you."

There was confusion in Xuan Yue's eyes.

Warn her?

Warn her about what?

"You, the Xuan family, have committed treason and are the rebels that everyone in Xia wants to kill. Your Majesty, the Queen, is kind-hearted and has shown great mercy by sparing your lives."

"You should just be content and live like a rat in a sewer. You shouldn't and can't covet things that don't belong to you."

"Do you understand?"

Honestly speaking, Xuan Yue didn't understand.

This statement is incomprehensible. What is she thinking?

"Miss Wang Er, you've got the wrong person. I don't understand what you mean." Xuan Yue had heard of the reputation of this Miss Wang Er before.

Impulsive and arrogant, she was originally destined to be the concubine of the Third Prince, and she almost married the same person as her.

Fortunately, the queen showed mercy and gave them freedom.

"You've found the right person." Wang Yushi gave an order, and the people she brought immediately started smashing things in the yard, and someone even stepped forward to grab Xuan Yue's arm.

Wang Yushi stepped forward, walked in front of her and said, "I'm looking for you."

She stretched out her hand, and immediately a servant handed her a dagger.

"Xuan Yue, Cheng Fengqi and I are getting engaged. I understand that you want to leave this place, but you should never seduce my man."

"Look at your face, it's so beautiful. If it's scratched... will you be unable to seduce men?"

Wang Yushi disliked Xuan Yue very much, and her eyes were flashing with strong malice at this moment.

But she heard that Xie Yao admired Xuan Yue very much.

She couldn’t touch Xuan Yue in the past, but what about now?

Xuan Yue naturally struggled and resisted. Although she was a weak woman in the past, she had followed the eldest princess for more than a month and had learned a few tricks.

At this moment, she resisted and broke free from the maid who had captured her!

Before the maids could react, Xuan Yue had already snatched the dagger from Wang Yushi's hand and put it across Wang Yushi's neck.

“Ahhhhh don’t kill me, don’t kill me! Miss Xuan, I was wrong, please don’t kill me!”

"I'll give it to you. I don't want it anymore. I don't want to be a man anymore. Please don't kill me..."

Wang Yushi's attitude immediately changed, and she begged Xuan Yue for mercy in a trembling voice. Of course, only she knew what she was thinking.

Xuan Yue naturally wouldn't completely believe Wang Yushi just because of her few words.

Xuan Yue said: "No matter what you think, I have no interest in Cheng Fengqi, so don't bother me anymore."

"clear?"

Wang Yushi felt the coldness on her neck and didn't dare to nod. She just kept saying, "I understand, I understand."

"Miss Xuan, can you let me go? I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare anymore..."

She could indeed stop causing trouble for Xuan Yue.

When she is free...she will kill this little bitch immediately!

"Miss Wang Er." Xuan Yue saw through Wang Yushi's true emotions at a glance and reminded her, "I can do what I say. I am alone now and I have no weaknesses."

"But you are different."

"You have a life of luxury, your parents love you, and a happy marriage is waiting for you. If you really do anything to me, I will take you with me even if it means death."

"If you don't believe it, you can try it."

Xuan Yue's tone was calm, and he didn't deliberately say anything harsh, but Wang Yushi felt creepy instead. She felt a chill down her spine, and even her legs went slightly weak.

At this moment, she is extremely clear and confident...

Xuan Yue spoke from the heart.

Xuan Yue can really do it!

"Gudong."

Wang Yushi swallowed hard, and her answer at this moment was more sincere than ever before, "Believe me, I believe me, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

If she had known that Xuan Yue had such a crazy soul beneath her appearance as a well-behaved and talented noblewoman, she would never have come to find Xuan Yue even if she had ten times the courage.

"Miss Xuan, don't hurt me, don't hurt me."

Wang Yushi's voice was filled with tears, and she was really about to cry.

This was the scene that Cheng Fengqi saw when he walked in. He walked in hurriedly and was stunned when he saw this scene.

this……

"Master Cheng, save me!"

When Wang Yushi saw Cheng Fengqi, she immediately called for help. She was so excited that she didn't even think about why Cheng Fengqi was here.

After all, Cheng Fengqi had seen a lot of storms and waves, so he reacted quickly.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xuan Yue released her hand and pushed Wang Yushi towards the maid. The maid of the Wang family immediately supported her young lady.

"Lord Cheng!" Wang Yushi's first reaction was to complain.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed the cold warning look falling on her. Fear instantly surged into her heart. She swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, not daring to utter a single word.

"Master Cheng." Xuan Yue said calmly, "Please explain to Miss Wang that I have nothing to do with you."

Cheng Fengqi frowned, his eyes fell on Wang Yushi, "Second Miss Wang, you have crossed the line."

Wang Yushi's heart tightened, "Master Cheng, I..."

Her voice was low and sounded a little pitiful, "Master Cheng, please don't be angry. I won't do this next time, okay?"

She felt extremely innocent and wronged, but Cheng Fengqi's face turned black.

"Miss Wang Er, you shouldn't have said these things to me. You should go back and tell Lord Wang." Cheng Fengqi was not polite at all and said directly: "I will tell Lord Wang everything that happened today."

Wang Yushi's face turned pale instantly, and she subconsciously raised her voice, "No!"

Father is not like mother, who loves her unconditionally. It would be fine if he didn't make it public at the moment. Father can even turn a blind eye.

But if Cheng Fengqi said these things in person... his father would definitely feel embarrassed and very angry!

"Master Cheng, this is just a misunderstanding."

"I'm leaving now and will never appear in front of Miss Xuan again."

Wang Yushi felt secretly resentful.

She is about to become Cheng Fengqi's fiancée. Cheng Fengqi treats her like this for Xuan Yue, but Xuan Yue still has the nerve to say that it has nothing to do with Cheng Fengqi.

shameless!

But there was no way. Even if she was engaged to Cheng Fengqi, she would be accused of being jealous if she came to look for the people Cheng Fengqi kept outside today.

Not to mention that the marriage has not been finalized yet.

She just didn't expect Xuan Yue to be so brave, and she didn't expect Cheng Fengqi to get up so quickly. It can be seen that Cheng Fengqi really cares about Xuan Yue.

Cheng Fengqi and Xuan Yue didn't say anything, but Wang Yushi's expression changed again and again, and she looked like a poor and betrayed wife.

He looked very aggrieved at the moment. If someone who didn't know the situation saw him, they would probably think that Cheng Fengqi and Xuan Yue were teaming up to bully others.

But there's no one else here.

Seeing that Wang Yushi was about to leave, Xuan Yue called her, "Second Miss Wang, wait a minute."

Wang Yushi’s face froze slightly and she was forced to stop.

Xuan Yue looked at Cheng Fengqi, "Master Cheng, please explain."

She has nothing to do with Cheng Fengqi!

Cheng Feng got up several times and told her that it was inconvenient for the Queen to come in person, so she asked him to come and see her current condition.

Xuan Yue didn't think much about it and was polite to Cheng Fengqi because of her title as the "Queen".

But now there is a misunderstanding, which is not good.

Cheng Fengqi looked at Wang Yushi and said, "Miss Xuan and I have nothing wrong with each other. We have never crossed any line."

Cheng Fengqi's voice was gentle but powerful.

Wang Yushi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt more expectant.

Lord Cheng explained to her, does that prove that in Lord Cheng's heart she...she is the one who needs explanation?

Wang Yushi was thinking this when she heard Cheng Fengqi say again: "Second Miss Wang, I have nothing to do with you. I shouldn't have explained this to you."

"But since this concerns Miss Xuan's reputation, please respect yourself and don't talk nonsense outside, otherwise..."

The threat in Cheng Fengqi's words was very obvious.

Wang Yushi's original thoughts were instantly shattered. She understood what Cheng Fengqi meant. Between her and Cheng Fengqi... it was impossible.

Wang Yushi felt unwilling, but she didn't dare show it in front of Cheng Fengqi. She glanced at Xuan Yue covertly, then turned around and left quickly.

Xuan Yue saw it clearly, but felt a headache.

Why did she feel that the more she explained, the more confusing it became?

"I'm sorry." Cheng Fengqi's voice sounded, "I'm the one who caused you trouble in this matter, but please rest assured, Miss Xuan, no one will bother you again in the future."

Cheng Fengqi is not only the Marquis of Changning, but also a popular figure in the court and the emperor's right-hand man. It is natural for him to do what he says on such small matters.

Xuan Yue nodded, "Okay."

After a pause, he added: "Master Cheng doesn't need to come again in the future."

She finds it troublesome.

Cheng Fengqi didn't expect Xuan Yue to say such a thing, and for a moment he was completely unable to react.

After a while, he said, "But... Miss Xuan, I want to come."

Hmm? Hmm?

Xuan Yue didn't react for a moment, and looked at Cheng Fengqi in surprise, "What?"

Cheng Fengqi looked at Xuan Yue with burning eyes.

Xuan Yue was a smart person. Under such a gaze, he understood what Cheng Fengqi meant.

She pursed her lips and said, "If it is out of selfishness, then Master Cheng doesn't need to come again."

"Why?" Cheng Fengqi was not a person who would back down easily, just like when he loved Xie Yao in the past, even though he knew that Xie Yao was already married to the prince, he never gave up.

The same is true now.

He had never realized it before and always thought that he still loved Xie Yao. It was not until something happened to the Xuan family that he realized from his extra worry and concern for Xuan Yue that his mind had changed.

Although he didn't spend much time with Xuan Yue, he was already attracted to her after he tried hard to let go of Xie Yao.

"Miss Xuan." Cheng Fengqi looked at her with burning eyes, "I am sincere and have absolutely no intention of humiliating you!"

Having said this, Cheng Fengqi said directly: "I like Miss Xuan and want to marry her. And there will only be one for me in this life, and I will never marry another."

Xuan Yue believed it.

All she saw in Cheng Fengqi's eyes was sincerity and seriousness.

But she still shook her head, "Lord Cheng, I don't want to and won't get married." After what happened with Xiao An, she no longer had any expectations of any man.

There might be men like her father or His Majesty in the world.

But it was one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand. And as a woman, I only had one chance to gamble.

She had already lost once, and even if she was lucky enough to have the chance to gamble a second time, she didn't want to gamble again.

Cheng Fengqi didn't expect this answer and was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he said, "Miss Xuan, can I ask the reason?"

Xuan Yue smiled, "Lord Cheng, there is no reason." She didn't want to answer or elaborate.

Even if the Cheng Fengqi she knew was a gentleman with good character, Xuan Yue didn't think he could empathize with her situation.

There is no such thing as empathy in this world.

Only you know the pain.

Xuan Yue's refusal was obvious. Cheng Fengqi was not a fool, so he could see it clearly.

"I am so abrupt." Cheng Fengqi said, "It's over now. I...will not bother Miss Xuan anymore."

"Please rest assured, Miss Xuan. What happened today will not happen again. If Miss Xuan needs any help from me, please send someone to find me at Changning Marquis' Mansion."

Without waiting for Xuan Yue to answer, Cheng Fengqi said, "There is one more thing, Miss Xuan."

His eyes swept across the messy yard. "Today's incident was caused by me. Miss Xuan, please give me a chance to make amends. Otherwise, I will not be at peace."

Xuan Yue didn't refuse this time.

Cheng Fengqi ordered people to clean up the yard and replaced the smashed things for Xuan Yue before leaving the yard.

Seeing this, Xuan Yue's personal maid couldn't help but whispered, "Miss, I think Master Cheng is pretty good."

"He has a good personality and is a favorite of His Majesty. He will surely have great fortune in the future."

Because of the second lady's involvement, my young lady is now branded as a criminal. It is harder than climbing to the sky for her to find a good husband again.

The maid really thinks Cheng Fengqi is good.

Judging from Lord Cheng's appearance, he doesn't seem to just want to keep his young lady away or take her as a concubine.

"If I could marry Master Cheng..."

"Qianhe." Xuan Yue interrupted the maid, "I really don't want to get married."

"I used to be a young lady of the Xuan family, well-dressed and well-fed, with my parents loving me. But these days, I feel more relaxed and happy."

Because she is free.

She doesn't have to rely on others or live in the eyes of others. She can completely control her present and future.

She feels good.

Qian He thought for a moment and said, "Then I will listen to you, young lady. As long as you are happy, that's all."

Xuan Yue looked around.

New things had been delivered to the yard that were smashed by Wang Yushi's men, but after all, they had been thrown all over the ground just now, so the new things could only be placed in the yard.

The master and servants also need to arrange them neatly themselves.

The current Xuan Yue is naturally no longer like she used to be, doing everything herself.

Even if I can't cook, I have learned how to make a fire and I am still learning.

Xuan Yue didn't call Qian He, she started to clean up first.

The tables and chairs in the yard, as well as the flowers that Xuan Yue brought, also needed to be transplanted into new pots...

Seeing this, Qianhe stopped thinking about it and started working.

The young lady had always treated her well, so even if something happened to the Xuan family, she was willing to stay with the young lady and continue to serve her.

Now the young lady treats her better and doesn't treat her as a servant at all. She wants to serve the young lady all her life.

Knock knock knock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

They both looked towards the door at the same time. Qianhe stood up first, dusted off his hands and went to open the door.

Standing in front of him was a person wearing a black long skirt and a black veil. Her outfit completely concealed her appearance and features. Qianhe only felt that she was a woman based on her height.

Qianhe didn't recognize the person in front of her.

Before she could ask, a hoarse androgynous voice sounded, "Does Miss Xuan Yue live here?"

Xuan Yue heard the sound and looked over——

The man wearing the veil slowly raised his head, his dark eyes staring directly at Xuan Yue, the corners of his lips slightly raised, the curve of his smile carrying a bit of weirdness.

"Miss Xuan, I found you."

…

Wang Yushi was sent back to the Wang family by Cheng Fengqi's men.

Cheng Fengqi's people also told Lord Wang everything she had done today.

When Wang Yushi heard what Cheng Fengqi's people said to Lord Wang, her face turned pale instantly.

I clearly promised her not to tell her!

But at this moment, Wang Yushi stood aside with her head down, not daring to even have an extra expression.

Her father will beat her to death!

She had just been threatened by Xuan Yue, and the panic and fear in her heart had not yet dissipated. She originally wanted to go home and act like a spoiled child in her mother's arms, and let her mother coax her, but now...

Wang Yushi’s face turned pale, as if she had lost her parents.

Lord Wang listened to what Cheng Fengqi's guards said, put on an apologetic smile, said nice things, and stuffed money into the guards' pockets, hoping that they would not spread the matter.

This is not just Wang Yushi's business. If this matter spreads, the character of more than a dozen unmarried girls in the Wang family, and even the girls who are already married, will be questioned by the world.

This matter is of great importance. Lord Wang must not let this happen.

So even though he looked down on the guards in front of him, his attitude was still very friendly. Of course, Lord Wang's attitude was not always friendly, otherwise he would be easy to bully.

He had to be friendly but also firm. He had to convey his meaning to Cheng Fengqi. The Wang family was not someone who could be easily offended.

If Cheng Fengqi insists on making a big fuss, then both sides will be destroyed.

The guard's attitude was naturally friendly. After all, he had received instructions from Cheng Fengqi before coming. Not to mention others, even if it was just for Miss Wang San, the matter would not become a big deal.

Not to mention that there are many innocent girls in the Wang family.

But the Wang family must make their stance clear; this matter cannot just be let go.

The two parties exchanged opinions and naturally reached an agreement quickly.

Although Lord Wang felt sorry for his daughter, he was powerless to protect her after Wang Yushi did such a stupid thing.

It was impossible for him to ignore the other girls in the Wang family for the sake of this one daughter. Even if he agreed, the clan would not agree.

Lord Wang politely sent Cheng Fengqi's guards away, and his face immediately darkened, looking as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Bring that evil creature up to me!"

At Lord Wang's order, Wang Yushi was immediately taken to the flower hall. Her face turned pale and she knelt down without thinking.

"Father."

Wang Yushi's voice was filled with tears, and she said pitifully: "My daughter knows she was wrong. My daughter really knows she was wrong."

"Father, can you please forgive your daughter this time?"

Wang Yushi knelt on the ground, moved her knees forward, hugged Lord Wang's legs, and looked up at Lord Wang pitifully.

Bang!

Lord Wang showed no mercy and kicked Wang Yushi. Wang Yushi fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah!" Wang Yushi screamed in pain, her face turned pale. She had never expected that her father, who usually loved her so much, would suddenly attack her with such great force.

"What a disgrace!"

Lord Wang looked at Wang Yushi with disdain in his eyes, "Look at what you have done! You have completely lost my face!"

"I've told you a long time ago that you should be careful and cautious in doing things, but what about you? You do these things with such fanfare. Are you afraid that others won't know that it was you who did it?"

"idiot!"

Lord Wang's eyes were full of disdain.

Is it worth Wang Yushi’s personal visit to the family of a mere traitor?

He was really disappointed.

Wang Yushi felt that all her internal organs were displaced by the kick, and the pain made her face turn pale.

But she did not dare to cry out in pain, and continued to kneel on the ground, "Father, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"master!"

Mrs. Wang's voice came, and Mrs. Wang hurried in, her face full of anxiety and worry, "Master, Shishi is young, and she was bewitched by those restless people around her, so she did something wrong. Please forgive her this time."

Wang Yushi nodded immediately, "Yes, father, it was them. They were the ones who bewitched me!"

Lord Wang naturally saw through this lie at a glance.

If it was just a small matter, he would be happy to cooperate.

But Cheng Fengqi...

Lord Wang hesitated for only a moment, then said, "From today on, you will be confined to your home and not allowed to step out of your yard."

"And you." Lord Wang's eyes fell on Madam Wang, "Immediately find a husband for her in another place and marry her off. From now on, she is not allowed to return to the capital."

Mrs. Wang and Wang Yushi looked at each other, their faces looking extremely ugly.

They never imagined that things would be so serious.

Mrs. Wang forced a smile and said, "My dear, how can a woman choose a husband casually? She must take her time to choose..."

Lord Wang interrupted her, "One month."

"I'll only give you one month. If you can't find the right person," Lord Wang said coldly, "I'll choose the one myself!"

After Lord Wang finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
