Finally, with a low groan, Liu Chengfeng let out a long breath.

The alcohol had basically dissipated, and Liu Chengfeng's mind suddenly became clear.

He looked at Qin Ningyue in the moonlight and saw her lying there with her eyes wide open, bloodshot, and her face extremely pale. He had covered her lips with his hands, biting them and breaking the skin. The blood that had overflowed had already dried up there.

Liu Chengfeng shuddered and became completely awake.

He was really crazy. He actually bullied Qin Ningyue. If this got out of hand, he would be in big trouble.

Liu Chengfeng felt scared now. Originally, he and Qin Shuo were good friends. They spent every day together eating, drinking, having fun, visiting brothels, and listening to songs. They were like-minded. He also knew that something had happened to the Qin family these days and they had become a laughing stock.

He had long been in love with Qin Ningyue, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, but that daughter was very arrogant and never looked him in the eye. Whenever they met, he felt like he was trash in her eyes.

In the past, he often thought about doing bad things to her in the dark of night.

He never thought that one day he would be able to marry this young lady.

But an imperial edict from the palace hit him directly on the head. Not only was he stunned, but the entire Cheng'an Earl's Mansion was shocked. For the first time, the eldest brother who was always ashamed of him showed a complicated look on his face.

It's really a proud moment!

He was so excited that he immediately asked his servant to contact Qin Shuo. He then learned that Qin Shuo had been beaten with a sack, and he took this opportunity to come to his house.

Qin Shuo probably opened a small door for him to sneak in because the atmosphere in the Qin Mansion had been depressed recently and he was afraid of being caught and beaten by Prime Minister Qin, so the two of them drank in his yard.

One jar, two jars, three jars...

Qin Shuo was drunk, and he was drunk too.

The two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and talked big for a long time, saying that they would be a family in the future.

He got up and searched for the toilet, but somehow he ended up in Qin Ningyue's yard, and somehow he entered the house...

Now that I'm sober, I just feel scared.

"Ms. Qin?"

He spoke tentatively, his voice trembling and his head buzzing. He was really scared at this moment.

"Get out!"

But all he heard was Qin Ningyue's loud shout, and her red eyes looked at him with resentment.

It looked like a man-eating beast.

"You, don't get excited, I was drunk and walked into the wrong room..."

Liu Chengfeng was a little timid and put on his clothes in a hurry.

"roll."

Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth and looked at him hatefully.

Liu Chengfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, a little afraid to look Qin Ningyue in the eye, but he couldn't leave like this, so he just said, "Ningyue, the emperor has already issued an edict to grant us marriage. You will marry me sooner or later anyway. We are just having our wedding night in advance. Um... I will treat you well in the future, I..."

"Go away! I told you to go away! Did you hear me? Go away! I don't want to see you now!"

Qin Ningyue finally couldn't hold it back anymore and exploded. She grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it hard at Liu Chengfeng, but she didn't have enough strength and the pillow fell to the ground.

Liu Chengfeng touched his nose and stepped back repeatedly, "Okay, I'll leave, I'll leave now, don't get excited..."

"Well, I think you seem to have a high fever. You asked the maid..."

Liu Chengfeng had retreated to the door, turned back and spoke, but met Qin Ningyue's red eyes of hatred. In the end, he did not dare to say the rest of the words. He left the house in a huff, and did not even dare to go to Qin Shuo's place. He left in disgrace through the corner door.

Just as Liu Chengfeng left, a carriage stopped at the gate of Qin Mansion, and Feng Ling and Qing Yue arrived.

…

The room was dark and silent.

Qin Ningyue wrapped herself in the quilt, wrapped herself tightly, biting the back of her hand hard, tears falling down her face, she sobbed, and she didn't let go until she tasted blood.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, the master asked you to go to the front hall. Prince Yu and Princess Yu are here and want to see you."

The little maid's voice outside sounded tremblingly.

Qin Ningyue suddenly raised her eyes, and her shocking hatred and anger seemed to be about to overflow.

How dare they come? Why did they come? To see her make a fool of herself? Or was it their orders that Liu Chengfeng do this?

At this moment, all that was left in Qin Ningyue's mind was hatred.

She gritted her teeth, wiped the blood from her lips, staggered to her feet, lit the candlestick, and trembled as she walked towards the bronze mirror. The mirror reflected a ghost-like woman, extremely miserable and pitiful.

She chuckled coldly and couldn't even believe that the woman in the mirror was herself.

"Go and bring me a basin of hot water."

She spoke in a hoarse voice.

The little maid outside the door hurriedly responded.

…

In the front hall, Qing Yue and Feng Ling sat next to each other, while Qin Hongzhang sat opposite them with a stern face. He wanted to put on a smile, but he really couldn't.

He was so angry that he felt like he was about to explode.

Qin Wan, who was sitting opposite him, hadn't said a word since he came in. He didn't take his father seriously at all and didn't even look at him straight in the eye.

What a curse, what a curse!

He is her father no matter what.

"Prince Yu, Princess Yu, my daughter will be here soon. I have sent someone to call her over."

Qin Hongzhang spoke up and said that he had just asked Prince Yu what business he had in coming to his house. Feng Ling only said that he wanted to see Qin Ningyue.

Qin Hongzhang didn't dare to say anything more, but just guessed in his heart.

Soon, footsteps were heard and Qin Ningyue came slowly.

After entering the living room, she stood there, without bowing, but looked straight at Feng Ling and Qin Wan.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her lips were very dry, her face was abnormally flushed, her long hair was casually scattered, and she stood there expressionless, looking in very bad condition.

"Ning Yue, why don't you bow to Prince Yu and Princess Yu?"

Qin Hongzhang frowned and scolded, mainly because he saw that Qin Ningyue's appearance was really not presentable. Although he also hated Qin Wan in his heart, he had to at least be presentable in front of Prince Yu.

Is this Ning Yue possessed by an evil spirit?

Qin Hongzhang's scolding fell, but Qin Ningyue seemed not to hear it, and still looked straight at Qingyue and Feng Ling.

At this moment, Qing Yue frowned, stood up, looked at Qin Ningyue, and said, "You have a high fever. Have you taken the medicine?"

She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Qin Ningyue.

The next moment, Qin Ningyue's lips opened and closed, and she asked, "What's the matter with you guys coming here?"

Her bloodshot eyes showed she had just cried. Combined with her appearance, Qing Yue guessed that she was upset by the arranged marriage. She pursed her lips and said, "Qin Ningyue, what happened this afternoon was a misunderstanding. Regarding the arranged marriage, the prince will go to the palace tomorrow to speak to the emperor and see if he can revoke his decision."

Qin Ningyue raised her bloodshot eyes quickly, "Misunderstanding?"
