Lu Yan didn't expect Qin Wan to actually attack him. He dodged backwards and said, "Let's talk it over. Don't do it. You're still injured."
"I tried to talk nicely, but you never listened. So I had no choice but to take action. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!" Qin Wan sneered with a knife in her hand. Her heroic demeanor impressed Lu Yan, who had never seen this side of her before.
Lu Yan was unwilling to give up. This was once his wife! He looked at Qin Wan with sorrow and said, "If you are not satisfied with my arrangement, we can make another plan. The most urgent thing is that you cannot get married."
Qin Wan looked at Lu Yan like an idiot and said, "I like him, why can't I marry him?"
Lu Yan couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?"
Qin Wan pointed the tip of her knife at Lu Yan, her voice as cold and ruthless as a knife: "I said, I love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am willing to marry him. Marquis Pingyang, you should go home and hug your beautiful wife and concubines, and don't harass me anymore!"
"Yes, Marquis Pingyang, please stop harassing my fiancée."
A voice came, and Qin Wan looked over in surprise, only to see Xie Qing being carried in. She turned the tip of her knife, quickly sheathed it, and quickly walked over to Xie Qing. She naturally took his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you. Who would have thought I'd see this?" Xie Qing squeezed Qin Wan's hand, his cold eyes sweeping towards Marquis Pingyang. Although he was sitting on a chair, his imposing demeanor remained undiminished. "Marquis Pingyang has so much free time, he broke into Marquis Xuanwu's mansion at night and harassed my fiancée. I wonder if Marquis Lu's coffin can still be held down."
The old Marquis Lu that Xie Qing mentioned was not Lu Yan's father, but his grandfather who had made great military achievements. When the outside world mentioned the old Marquis Lu, they only knew his grandfather and did not recognize his father - he was obsessed with women and was not worthy of being the descendant of a military general.
Lu Yan naturally knew who Xie Qing was talking about. His face suddenly fell, and his eyes fell on the hands of Qin Wan and Xie Qing. Seeing the two of them holding hands, his heart suddenly ached.
These hands were supposed to be his, why did he lose them?
Why did she change her heart?
Lu Yan was unwilling to accept this, but he was facing the Crown Prince, so he could only lower his head unwillingly and kneel down to apologize: "Your Majesty, I acknowledge my guilt!"
Xie Qing snorted coldly: "You know your crime, why don't you leave now! You have ruined all the achievements of your ancestors. I wonder what you can bring to your grandfather in the afterlife!"
He actually threatened him with the title of Marquis of Pingyang!
Lu Yan was filled with anger, but even more sadness. He bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Xie Qing watched Lu Yan leave, then he bowed to Qin Zhan and said, "My Lord."
Qin Zhan looked at Xie Qing's leg with concern: "How is your leg injury? I heard that it will be crippled."
"If the Marquis has heard about it, then naturally everyone else will know it too." Xie Qing disagreed.
Seeing how calm he was, Qin Zhan knew it was fake, and then he said with a smile, "It's a good thing that Your Highness has a plan, but you are not very mobile now, so it's better not to travel too much."
Xie Qing looked up at Qin Wan affectionately and said with a smile, "The imperial decree granting the marriage was issued so quietly that I was a little worried, so I came to see Wan'er."
Qin Wan squatted down and checked the injury on his leg while speaking: "I'm fine, you take good care of yourself."
Seeing that the wound on his leg was bandaged and no blood was seeping out, Qin Wan felt relieved. "Today, the wife of the Minister of Rites, Lord Meng, came over and brought some things. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she hinted that it was probably sent by His Majesty."
Xie Qing's expression visibly relaxed after hearing this: "The emperor's reward means he is satisfied with you. Our current situation is special, so we can only accept the benefits. We have to earn the reputation ourselves."
"I know that the royal family is different from others. I am very satisfied now." Qin Wan didn't care about those external things. As long as Xie Qing treated her sincerely, it was enough.
As for changing one's heart? Qin Wan wasn't afraid. They both lived their lives over again. In this life, they not only had to change the fate of their previous life, but also had to hold on to what belonged to them. The two of them would form the most stable alliance.
What's more, when I think about every moment I've spent with Xie Qing in this life, it's actually very comfortable. This kind of comfort is something I've never experienced when I was with Lu Yan. So, I must hold on to the people around me and the rare true feelings.
It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is hard to find a lover. He loves her and she also loves him.
Lu Yan, who thought she had a lover, left the Qin family in a daze and returned to Pingyang Marquis Mansion before curfew.
He stood in front of the second gate, looking at the pitch-black inner courtyard. For a moment, he didn't know whether to go in or go to the study in the front yard to rest. Originally, if there was only one hostess, the hostess would live in Qitongju, and the main courtyard would be the residence of him, the host.
But now, the two mistresses in the mansion have no place for him, the male owner, to live.
Lu Yan felt sad. Just as he was immersed in his sorrow, a gentle female voice came from inside the door:
"Is the Marquis back?"
Lu Yan came back to his senses and looked over: "Who's there?"
Qi Jing came out of the darkness, holding her belly. Qi Jia followed her with a lantern. The warm light of the lantern tore through the dark night sky and warmed the people outside the door.
Qi Jing seemed oblivious to Lu Yan's change of mood. She stepped forward and greeted him, "My Lord, I am waiting for you here."
"What are you waiting for me for? You're pregnant, go back and rest." Lu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help Qi Jing, but then he suddenly remembered what Qin Wan had said. If they were all gone, what would happen to Concubine Qi? What would happen to the whole family?
Qi Jing saw that Lu Yan looked dazed, but she didn't care. She took Lu Yan's arm and said softly, "I want to see the Marquis. My child is about to be born, and I want to raise him myself. Is that possible?"
