Shangguan Wanning turned around and saw Old Lady Xiao slowly walking towards her.
She was only accompanied by a little maid and Xiao Yikai.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Shangguan Wanning bowed and saluted. Old Lady Xiao came forward, took her hand, and looked her up and down.
"She is indeed a real lady from a wealthy family. Her demeanor is so different from that of girls from humble backgrounds."
Old Lady Xiao narrowed her eyes and smiled even more deeply. "In the future, I wonder which boy will be so lucky to marry you. By the way, have you been betrothed?"
Shangguan Wanning felt a little embarrassed. She had someone in her heart, but she couldn't say it to the unfamiliar Old Lady Xiao.
"No."
"That's because the Prime Minister can't bear to part with you. That's true. If it were me, I wouldn't want to marry off such a beautiful girl."
Old Madam Xiao took Shangguan Wan Ning's hand and walked down the stairs together.
Shangguan Wanning saw from the corner of her eye that Xiao Yikai's gaze was always moving around her, which made her feel disgusted.
She remembered the seven-day agreement between Mu Jingrui and Old Lady Xiao.
But looking at Xiao Yikai's state now, he seems so calm and composed, without any sadness of a dying man at all.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the flower bed under the steps, holding a kitchen knife and chopped towards Xiao Yikai.
After all, Xiao Yikai was a martial artist, so he reacted quickly. He dodged sideways and gently hit the man's wrist with his folding fan.
With a "bang", the kitchen knife fell to the ground, and Xiao Yikai kicked the man in the chest.
The man rolled down the stairs, his face covered in blood.
He tried to stand up several times but failed. He raised his head and glared at Xiao Yikai with fierce eyes.
"You beast, if I can't kill you today, my daughter won't let you go even if she turns into a ghost."
"Really?" Xiao Yikai didn't care at all, gently waving his folding fan, with a look of indifference on his face. "If she really comes to see me again, I can make her happy again. I don't care if she is a human or a ghost."
Shangguan Wanning felt a chill in her heart.
She looked at Xiao Yikai. From their simple conversation, she could tell that the girl in this family must have been ruined by Xiao Yikai.
Not only did Xiao Yikai have no remorse, he could even say such shameless words.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Shangguan Wanning's mind.
She secretly observed the expression of Old Madam Xiao and found that she did not have much emotional ups and downs.
"Okay, stop messing around."
After Old Lady Xiao scolded him, Xiao Yikai calmed down and turned around to support his grandmother again.
"My princess, you are making a fool of yourself." Old Lady Xiao looked at Shangguan Wan Ning with a smile and explained, "His daughter used to be a maid in my house. Kai'er fell in love with her and took her in as his concubine. Unexpectedly..."
"Grandma, if I could marry a wife as beautiful as the princess, I would treat her wholeheartedly. I don't want any concubines or maids."
"Really?" Old Lady Xiao stopped and asked seriously.
"Once a man has made his word, it is hard to follow him."
Old Lady Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shangguan Wanning sneered and suddenly felt very disgusted.
"I'm afraid I don't have that blessing. Old lady, I have something else to do. Goodbye."
Shangguan Wanning turned and walked away with Lutong, came to an empty corner, leaned over and whispered something in Lutong's ear.
Midoriya nodded and walked away quickly.
Shangguan Wanning found a stone bench to sit down, took out her handkerchief and prepared to wipe her sweat. A breeze blew and blew the handkerchief out of her hand, hanging it on the branch in front of her.
She walked over, looked up, and sighed in disappointment.
A figure leaped up, took the handkerchief from the branch and handed it to her.
Shangguan Wanning took one look and was about to leave without saying a word.
Xiao Yikai stood in front of her. "Princess, your handkerchief."
"No, it's dirty!"
Shangguan Wanning originally thought that her attitude would make Xiao Yikai give up, but she didn't expect that he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Is the princess talking about me or this handkerchief?"
"What do you think?"
Xiao Yikai was ecstatic when he saw Shangguan Wanning's stubborn and proud eyes.
Over the years, he has seen all kinds of beauties, but none of them can be like Shangguan Wanning.
She is like a rose with thorns, gorgeous and dazzling; she is also like a lily in a quiet valley, pure and elegant.
"I feel that the princess doesn't understand me very well." Xiao Yikai stepped forward, got in front of Shangguan Wanning, and said in a low voice, "If the princess and I had an in-depth communication, I believe you would never leave me again."
Shangguan Wanning saw a hint of hidden light in Xiao Yikai's eyes, and she was instantly so angry that she trembled all over.
"Xiao Yikai, if you are rude to me again, don't blame me for being rude to you. Others are afraid of your Zhonglie Marquis Mansion, but I, Shangguan Wanning, am not."
"Hahaha." Xiao Yikai laughed. "It seems that the princess has understood my hidden meaning. Do you want to... give it a try?"
Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath, raised her hand and slapped Xiao Yikai on the cheek.
Xiao Yikai grabbed her wrist, pulled her close to him and sniffed her. "It smells so good..."
“Let go…”
Shangguan Wanning's eyes turned red with anxiety.
A strong palm wind hit him, and Xiao Yikai dodged in a hurry, but his chest was still injured by the palm force. He took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.
Shangguan Wanning was also knocked back by the palm force and fell into the broad chest.
"Ning'er, how are you?"
"Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wanning's voice was choked with sobs, tears of grievance and humiliation welling up in her eyes.
Mu Jingrui was suddenly filled with murderous intent, and the look he gave Xiao Yikai was sharp and fierce.
Xiao Yikai knew that he was no match for Mu Jingrui, so he had to stop temporarily. However, he was unwilling to give up, so he made a provocative gesture towards Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui clenched his fists, and his knuckles crackled.
"Young Master Sun, the old lady is looking for you. It's time to go back." The housekeeper ran over in a hurry.
"Princess, we will meet again. I think we will have a chance to... make love together."
Mu Jingrui simply couldn't bear it anymore.
He let go of Shangguan Wanning and slapped Xiao Yikai.
Xiao Yikai hurriedly gathered his true energy and fought back.
The two men slapped each other.
Xiao Yikai was shocked and took several steps back. After stabilizing himself, he immediately launched a counterattack.
Mu Jingrui discovered that Xiao Yikai's martial arts skills were even better than his father's.
The two fought for more than fifty rounds but no one was victorious.
"No more playing today." Xiao Yikai retracted his power, stood not far away and bowed to Shangguan Wanning, "Princess, we have a long way to go."
After saying that, he used his Qinggong skills to leave.
"Jing Rui, forget it..."
Shangguan Wanning grabbed Mu Jingrui who was about to chase after her.
She knew that Mu Jingrui was already mad with anger at the moment, and if he continued to fight, he would really kill Xiao Yikai with one palm.
"Don't chase me, Jingrui. I think... there is something we overlooked."
