Bai Wanyi lost her balance and was about to fall. In panic, she waved her hands around and grabbed Qin Wan's face.
Qin Wan took a step back to avoid the attack, but she missed a step and fell straight downstairs. She twisted her body to save herself, but someone came up the stairs and subconsciously hugged her in his arms, then hurriedly let go and protected her from behind.
She frowned, quickly steadied herself by holding onto the handrail, and retreated to the second floor, bowing gracefully: "Thank you very much for rescuing me, sir. May I ask your name so that I can give you a generous gift as a token of my gratitude?"
The man lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Wan. This woman seemed a little familiar?
His gaze fell on Bai Wanyi behind her, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he returned to his calm look.
The man lowered his eyes, took off the earrings hanging in front of him, and handed them forward: "My lady, these are earrings. As for the generous gift, please don't bother."
Qin Wan gestured for Zhenzhen to take the earrings, her eyes falling on the clothes that had been snagged on his shoulder. "Your clothes are obviously extraordinary. Even if you don't need to thank me, you should still compensate me for them."
"You want to make clothes for another man? Qin Wan! You are still my wife, Lu Yan, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang. How can you be so impatient to seduce another man here?"
Lu Yan had dinner at the Ministry of War and returned to the villa, but did not see Bai Wanyi. He learned that she had been out most of the night before and was out again today, so he went out to look for her. He visited several teahouses and as soon as he entered, he saw two people hugging each other upstairs, and he was immediately furious.
Qin Wan lowered her eyes to look at the distance between her and the man. The corridor upstairs was spacious with a few people standing there, but it was also much narrower. The distance between the two of them did seem a bit close.
Qin Wan took a step back and looked at Lu Yan: "My Lord, are you going to throw dirty water on me without asking the cause and effect?"
Bai Wanyi had already felt guilty after pushing someone away, but after hearing Lu Yan's words, she immediately felt emboldened. She squeezed out from between the two of them, hid behind Lu Yan, and said timidly, "Brother Yan, you're here!"
Lu Yan hadn't seen Bai Wanyi downstairs just now, but now when he saw her dressed in men's clothing, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was surprised: "Why are you here?"
Bai Wanyi's eyelashes trembled, and tears fell down her face. "I ran into my sister on the road and wanted to say a few words to her to ease the relationship. After all, we will be sisters in the future, and we can't make things too awkward and make things difficult for Brother Yan. But she said I was uneducated."
In just a few words, he turned the truth into black and white, which made Zhenzhen and the others very angry.
Zhenzhen pointed at Bai Wanyi and angrily said, "It was you who insulted our young lady with your words. When she wanted to leave, you even pushed her! Fortunately, this young master came to her rescue, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Bai Wanyi shrank back, innocently saying, "You're more than me, I can't argue with you. Whatever you say is what it is. But I heard Brother Yan say that there are many rules in the capital, and women must abide by the rules of marriage. They can't even let anyone hold their hands. And now someone's hugging me..."
She looked up at Lu Yan, feeling very regretful: "Brother Yan, this is all my fault. I have ruined my reputation. This happened in public. I'm afraid my life will be hard for me in the future. Let's not make things difficult for me. When I get married, I will definitely treat you well. Brother Yan, please don't be angry with me."
Zhenzhen looked at Bai Wanyi in amazement. She didn't expect her to be so eloquent!
Lu Yan's forehead veins were throbbing. Although he and Qin Wan had known each other since childhood and were married, they had never even held hands. Today, she actually let another man hug her!
Lu Yan stepped forward and questioned, "Qin Wan! Are you worthy of me?"
"Why should I be sorry for you? If it weren't for this young master's rescue, I would have fallen down and died. Wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted?"
Qin Wan said in a cold voice, firmly labeling the man in front of her as her savior. Even if he had not appeared, nothing would have happened to her. But no matter what, it was a fact that the other party had taken action and helped her.
What's more, the two people had physical contact in public, and without a good reason, it was inevitable that others would use it to make a fuss.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan's eyes grew even colder. "Are you hoping I'll die so you can make room for your mistress? Or are you hoping I won't pay you back and are waiting for my death so you can take my dowry and marry you a new wife?"
"You are making excuses! Your adulterer is right in front of you, what else do you have to say? Qin Wan, I want to divorce you!" Lu Yan pointed angrily at the person with his back to them, completely ignoring what Old Lady Lu said.
The man originally wanted to stay out of it, but Lu Yan kept approaching him and now accused him of seducing a married woman, so the man could no longer hide.
He slowly turned around, looking at Lu Yan with surprise on his bright and handsome face, and asked, "Lord Lu, you said I was an adulterer?"
Lu Yan looked at him in astonishment. It took him a long while to recover his composure. He lifted his skirt and knelt, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness. I am blind and ignorant. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
This is actually the prince!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, your humble servant pays respects to you." Qin Wan bowed in greeting.
In the previous life, the prince had many disputes with Bai Wanyi. It was thought that Bai Wanyi and Lu Yan wanted to gain the merit of following the emperor, but later the prince was accused of treason and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, while Bai Wanyi and Lu Yan, who were very close to him, were unharmed.
I wonder if Bai Wanyi deceived the prince?
Qin Wan carefully recalled the details of her previous life, but she didn't know much, and she didn't know what the relationship between the prince and Bai Wanyi was at this time?
If there are two people...
Qin Wan was a little worried. If the prince sided with Bai Wanyi and Lu Yan, would she still be able to divorce happily?
Crown Prince Xie Qing deliberately looked at Bai Wanyi a few times. The ambiguous eyes made Bai Wanyi stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to avoid looking at Xie Qing and stared straight at him.
Xie Qing frowned, unable to conceal the disgust in his eyes. He coughed lightly and said to Lu Yan in a pointed way, "You are indeed blind."
