Chapter 12 The Stand-in Heroine's Counterattack 12

A delicate scolding came from behind.

Cheng Qingning arrived with a group of noble ladies and gentlemen.

She blinked at A Yan, then turned to look at Qin Yu with a cold gaze: "The Second Prince wants to forcefully marry A Yan?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Qin Yu's eyes, and he had to take his hand back.

He originally didn't want to make it public, but now that someone has seen it, he has no choice but to make it public.

However, he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say: "Yan'er loves me deeply, and she is Qingcheng's sister. I took her as my concubine, so how can I say that I forced her to marry me? Miss Cheng has an upright character, but the relationship between men and women is not something a little girl like you can understand!"

He cleverly put A Yan in the front, giving people the impression that A Yan liked him. He proposed to marry her in order to fulfill A Yan's love and for the sake of his ex-fiancee Luo Qingcheng.

In this way, he creates a good image of a man who is both loyal and righteous, and gentle and kind.

Cheng Qingning looked at him with a sneer.

Ah Yan tilted her head and said softly, "But, Your Highness... When did I fall in love with you? Although I am a concubine, my aunt has always told me that I should not steal other people's men! Your Highness is already my sister's fiancé, so how could I fall in love with you?"

The girl's voice is clear and moving, as intoxicating as an oriole.

But Qin Yu's expression suddenly turned cold, and he warned, "Yan'er!"

Ah Yan seemed not to understand what he said, "Isn't it? Your Highness is very surprised. Just now, I was picking mushrooms here, and Your Highness asked about my marriage without saying a word. Now, he even said that he wanted to take me as a concubine, which made me very scared!"

Cheng Qingning took the opportunity to say, "See? Ah Yan doesn't like you at all. If she doesn't like you, then what else can she do but force you to marry her?"

Ah Yan looked embarrassed, "Alas, Your Highness is the king after all. I knew long ago that Your Highness had deep feelings for my sister. I think if you want to take me as your concubine, you also want to look at my face that looks like my sister every day to comfort your longing. If my marriage was not controlled by my father, I would be willing to fulfill Your Highness's deep love!"

Cheng Qingning translated for her, "I thought so. So you want A Yan to be Luo Qingcheng's substitute again! Sixth Prince, A Yan is the daughter of the Prime Minister after all. You are humiliating Prime Minister Luo!"

Before Qin Yu could even open his mouth, the two young ladies revealed everything in just a few words.

The last time he used Ayan as a substitute, the news spread among the female relatives.

This time even the young masters in the capital knew about it!

You know, the marriage of the princes is also a bargaining chip.

Let others know that he still has Luo Qingcheng in his heart, and for Luo Qingcheng, he even plans to forcefully marry the concubine of the Luo family. Which family would be willing to marry their daughter to him?

Qin Yu's face was as dark as ink.

Ah Yan sighed and said, "But maybe we misunderstood. As a prince, how could His Highness have such shameful thoughts? Maybe he was just joking with me!"

Qin Yu looked at her solemnly, and followed the steps she handed over, "Yes, this prince was just joking with Miss Luo, I didn't expect you all to take it seriously!"

The noble lady behind Cheng Qingning said, "So you were joking. I almost believed it! However, Your Highness should keep your distance from A Yan in the future, so that we, the uninformed, will not misunderstand you!"

Qin Yu clenched his fist, knowing that if he didn't agree, the matter would not be resolved!

After so many years, he finally found someone who looked so much like Qingcheng. Only when he looked at Luo Qingyan could he feel that Qingcheng was still alive!

It's a pity that Luo Qingyan is not Qingcheng after all. She only has a face similar to Qingcheng, but she doesn't have any plans of Qingcheng in her mind!

Well, it's better to give up this little concubine for now. There may be someone who looks more like Qingcheng than her in the future!

Qin Yu consoled himself and said helplessly, "Originally, I looked after Second Miss Luo a little more because she was Qingcheng's sister. Who would have thought that this would lead to such a misunderstanding! Well, I will keep my distance from Second Miss Luo in the future, so as not to damage her reputation!"

Ah Yan curled her lips, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness!"

Qin Yu felt depressed and didn't want to look at her beautiful smile anymore. He nodded to the noblemen behind the crowd, turned around and strode away.

Ah Yan smiled and watched him go away. Then, she took Cheng Qingning's arm and said with a wink, "Sister Cheng and the other sisters arrived just in time!"

Cheng Qingning raised her chin, "He will definitely not dare to bother you again in the future!"

A Yan agreed with it and nodded.

However, the news that Qin Yu wanted the second young lady of the Luo family to be a substitute for Luo Qingcheng still spread.

It was not just the ladies and gentlemen who witnessed everything at the time, but also the servants around them.

Qin Yu spoke nicely, but anyone with a little common sense could see his dirty thoughts.

If they had arrived a step later, he might have forcefully embraced Second Miss Luo!

After some time, the news somehow spread to the backyards of the various princes.

In the eldest prince's back house, a graceful and elegant figure leaned against the window, allowing the servants to massage her legs while telling her the hottest news outside.

Upon hearing that the Sixth Prince had found a substitute, the slender figure suddenly sat up straight.

"Is this true? The Sixth Prince hasn't forgotten me yet?"

Luo Qingcheng had a smug look on her face and her eyes were full of pride.

"That's right. He wanted me to be his only one from the beginning. If he hadn't pressed me step by step, I wouldn't have... But I was surprised that he found Luo Qingyan to be my substitute. What similarities do that bastard have with me?"

The servant flattered, "Miss Cheng is right! Luo Qingyan is just a concubine's daughter, how can she compare to Miss Cheng's beauty? Only those with poor eyesight would mistake her for someone else!"

Luo Qingcheng sneered, "That little bastard is really bold. Could it be that she really thinks that by hooking up with the Sixth Prince, she can fly to the top? Someone, bring me a pen and ink, I want to write a letter to my father!"

The servant bowed and went out, bringing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

A letter from the eldest prince's backyard was delivered to the prime minister's residence.

After reading his beloved daughter's letter, Prime Minister Luo's face darkened, "Go call Luo Qingyan!"

A mere concubine's daughter caused such a big fuss!

It seems that I have become too careless after all!

A Yan was asked to come out of the yard by the housekeeper.

Green Wall followed beside him and said anxiously, "The master must have heard the rumors outside! Miss, you must explain to the Prime Minister later that this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just others who are talking nonsense!"

The master loves the eldest daughter the most. If the master knew that the Sixth Prince intended to replace the eldest daughter with his own daughter, he would be very angry with the daughter!

Ah Yan looked at the frightened little girl beside him and said with a smile: "It's getting cold, I'm afraid the weather will change!"
