Fu Yi looked at her with a little surprise. His sister used to hate practicing martial arts the most. When it came to practicing martial arts, she would hide without a trace.
He leaned down slightly, raised his hand to touch her hair hanging on both sides of the mask, and said softly: "Xu'er, big brother will not force you to practice martial arts anymore. We have enough guards in our mansion, and big brother will protect you."
"But I want to practice martial arts." Ye Wanqing looked up at the obsidian half. She also wanted to do something to make up for Chen Xu and protect her things for Chen Xu in her own way.
"Brother, can you send someone to teach me martial arts?"
Fu Yi gently touched her hair and said the same thing as A Rao, "But practicing martial arts is very hard and easy to get hurt. With big brother to protect you, Xu'er doesn't need to practice martial arts."
Ye Wanqing shook her head and insisted on learning martial arts.
Fu Yi felt heartbroken when he thought about his sister who was dressed as a man but was not able to learn martial arts and was therefore disliked by his father. His mother was in the southern border all year round and sent Nanny Jiang to discipline her very strictly.
She suffered so much in the capital, but she still wanted to learn martial arts to please her father. I used to bully and beat her, but she didn't hate me at all.
What a kind and sensible sister she is.
He hugged Ye Wanqing distressedly and said, "Okay, sister, you can learn whatever you want. If you want the moon in the sky, I will help you pick it down."
"Uh..." Ye Wanqing let him hold her. For a moment, she even felt his sadness.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll take you back to the Marquis' Mansion." Fu Yi patted her back gently and let her go.
"Thank you, brother."
"Heh~" Fu Yi rubbed her hair vigorously and murmured softly, "I should thank you, silly sister."
Ye Wanqing returned to the carriage, put on her original clothes, and was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion by Fu Yi.
When he returned, Murong Yan was already in the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, with Ling Mo with his head lowered and Mu Yunjin, who was tied up like a stick with only his head exposed.
Seeing Ye Wanqing coming back, Murong Yan hurried to meet her and nervously checked whether she was injured anywhere.
"A Xu, where have you been? I can't find you and I'm so worried." Murong Yan held her hand and said anxiously: "I know you are in a bad mood, but you can't run around. Don't you know that it's not safe now..."
"Oh, my elder brother took me shopping." Ye Wanqing turned around, but found that there was no one behind her. Fu Yi had left at some point.
Then he remembered that he had sneaked in from the southern border, and now he must be rushing back in a hurry.
"The Great Devil actually took you shopping?" Murong Yan seemed to have heard something incredible. He quickly grabbed her hand and asked with concern, "Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head and looked at Ling Mo, whose hair was still covered with leaves, and Mu Yunjin, who was tied up and had a rag stuffed in his mouth, in confusion. "What are you doing?"
Mu Yunjin struggled a few times and looked at Ling Mo angrily.
"Oh, my little cousin is playing with him." Murong Yan gestured to Ling Mo to take him down, then pulled her to sit in front of the courtyard, "I haven't had dinner yet, Ah Xu, please accompany me for a while."
"Hey, General Mu stayed behind to protect me..." Seeing Ling Mo carrying away the still-squirming Mu Yunjin, Ye Wanqing said worriedly, "Let's untie him."
"Don't worry, my cousin will take care of it. Besides, no one will come to the Marquis' Mansion to assassinate me." Murong Yan ordered the servants to bring the table and set out the wine and food.
"Ah Xu, can you accompany me and have some drinks today?"
Ye Wanqing pursed her lips, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that with such a result, the prince would definitely not be in a good mood.
She nodded, sat down beside the table, raised her hand to pour him a glass of wine, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, no matter what Sister Xu's purpose is or how difficult it is, I have no right to forgive her on behalf of Shen Xu."
"Miss Ye, will you forgive her?" Murong Yan picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass. The bitter alcohol burned his throat and his voice was a little hoarse.
Murong Yan looked at Ye Wanqing with burning eyes and asked, "If it was you who died, with your body and heart still being you, would you forgive her?"
Ye Wanqing was speechless. To be honest, she had never thought about such a question. If she was the one to die, would she forgive the prank played by her best friend?
Murong Yan poured a glass of wine for Ye Wanqing and drank it sullenly. He sighed and said bitterly, "I have no right to ask whether you forgive her or not. My third brother saved her life, and he signed the case closure, indicating that he would not pursue the case. She was a government official's daughter, and killing a slave or a young prostitute wouldn't be a serious crime. And in Miss Ye's case, the key evidence was destroyed. There's nothing I can do..."
Murong Yan's voice stopped abruptly. He picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. As the bitter wine went into his stomach, a blush appeared on his face, which looked particularly beautiful under the dim light.
"Ms. Ye, do you think I'm particularly incompetent and can't do anything?"
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has helped me a lot. At least I now know the truth and who the real murderer is." Ye Wanqing frowned, her mood was extremely bad.
She grabbed Murong Yan's hand as he poured the wine, tears streaming down her face. With red eyes, she replied, "Your Highness, I will not forgive her. Whether it's from my own perspective or Chen Xu's, I will not forgive her! My death cannot be in vain, and neither can Chen Xu's. Now that I know the murderer, I must bring her to justice. Those who do evil will suffer the consequences."
"Your Highness, it is precisely because there are so many unfair things in this world that we need you to cheer up, become a wise ruler, and change this world."
Murong Yan stared blankly at Ye Wanqing in front of him. In the light, her heroic phoenix eyes were dancing with an extremely hot light, and her red eye sockets added a bit of delicate beauty to her young face.
He suddenly felt his vision blurred, and he could not tell whether the person in front of him was Ah Xu or Miss Ye. Under the influence of the strong liquor, his heartbeat also became much faster. He lowered his eyes to look at Ye Wanqing's hand holding his tightly, which was slightly cool, and seemed to soothe his depressed mood.
"Ms. Ye, I..." He spoke bitterly, put down the cup in his hand, turned over and held Ye Wanqing's hand, but the words "I like you" were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.
"By the way, does His Royal Highness know about Yunnuan Pavilion?"
"Well, Fu Yi even told you this?" Murong Yan was slightly surprised.
"Yes, the Thousand-Faced Fox founded the Cloud Warmth Pavilion, which collected all the injustices in the world, judged the evil, and sent out knights to punish the evildoers."
"Heh~ That's what he said?" Murong Yan looked at Ye Wanqing's admiring expression and said calmly, "Did he tell you that he is the young master of Yunnuan Pavilion and the direct disciple of Thousand-Faced Fox?"
“Hey!”
