Chapter 192 I’m Not Losing
Xie Changning suddenly smiled, "Could it be that Sister Fang is here?"
Mother Du smiled and nodded.
"Please invite Sister Fang in." Xie Changning asked Mother Du to get her whip. She was wearing a black tight-fitting outfit with a whip wrapped around her wrist.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, a sword with a cold and sharp light stabbed at her.
Mother Du was no longer surprised by this, so she just smiled and avoided it.
Fang Rulu was also dressed in black, holding a sword in one hand and two jugs of wine in the other. "Aning, let me test your skills and see if you are a loser now."
"Come on, Sister Fang!" Xie Changning turned her wrist, and the whip in her hand wrapped around the sword in Fang Rulu's hand.
Seeing this, Mother Du quickly asked someone to prepare some snacks for them.
This is Xie Changning's yard. There are many people guarding it openly and secretly, so they can do whatever they want here.
The two men fought back and forth, their movements smooth and unrestrained, as if they had returned to their youth, confident, arrogant and domineering.
In just a moment, both of them were sweating.
"Aning, you are still the same as before, you don't know how to respect the elders at all. No more fighting, no more fighting..." Fang Rulu was the first to put away the sword.
"Sister Fang, have you forgotten that you are only ten months older than me? You are still the same as before, and you don't know how to love children at all." Xie Changning also put away the whip.
The two began to bicker, just like how they were when they were waiting to be married.
Mother Du has already asked someone to prepare some snacks to go with the wine.
The two people entered the warm room.
Fang Rulu handed Xie Changning a pot of wine and said, "This is your favorite green plum wine. Try it and see if it tastes the same as before."
Xie Changning raised his head and took a sip. "Sister Fang brewed this wine herself, so it's naturally the same as before."
Over the years, Sister Fang has sent her wine privately.
"Thank you, Aning, for what you did this time!" Fang Rulu clinked the wine jug with Xie Changning, and she also tilted her head back and took a big gulp of wine.
"Hahaha... It's so refreshing. Today is my good day. We won't go home until we are drunk." The first time she saw Qi Zhengye, she felt only disgust in her heart.
Before His Majesty granted the marriage, she already had a lover.
What she likes is her young general!
Unfortunately, the day before their wedding, her young general died in the battlefield. When he died, he was still holding the handkerchief she gave him and kept calling her name.
Even in death, he couldn't close his eyes.
How could she not hate?
Some people live on even after they die.
Some people are right in front of us, but they are already dead, like Qi Zhengye.
"Congratulations, Sister Fang, for rising from the ashes today." Xie Changning was really happy for her.
That bastard Qi Zhengye is not worthy of Sister Fang at all.
Fortunately, in this life, Sister Fang will never repeat the same mistakes and end up with a tragic death.
"Aning, I'm not at a disadvantage. Do you think I would compromise and commit myself to that bastard Qi Zhengye? You're totally wrong. Would I let him get close to me? Would I willingly give birth to his child?"
"Why don't you just take a piss and look at him to see if he deserves it? I won't wrong anyone else, and I won't wrong myself."
Xie Changning was stunned.
What does Sister Fang mean by this?
Fang Rulu poked her head with a smile, "Do you think I'm like you, foolishly guarding Shen Wenyuan? You are just too honest."
"Qi Zhengye is a playboy? Little did he know that I am even more playful than him. Who does he think he is? Is it worth it for me to keep my virginity for him? He is dreaming!"
This time Xie Changning understood, but she didn't ask anything.
Sister Fang is doing well. Why can't Sister Fang live a more carefree life while Qi Zhengye lives a life of debauchery?
Is this fair?
"It's a pity that my Ji Liang will never come back." Fang Rulu's eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and she burst into tears as she spoke.
This time, she wanted to cry for him properly.
Wait until next life!
Xie Changning silently handed her a handkerchief.
"Aning, don't you hate him? Why do you think your father married you to Shen Wenyuan? My brother once mentioned inadvertently that although His Majesty did not grant you a marriage, he secretly put pressure on your father. Otherwise, with your status, you could have any husband you wanted." Fang Rulu wiped the tears from her face with her hands.
For a proud person like her, she would wipe her tears upwards. She could cry, but she could never be weak.
Xie Changning slowly lowered her eyes. She knew...
Fang Rulu curled her lips and sneered, "Aning, we have been ensnared by power our entire lives. We are just pawns in the hands of others, used to check and balance our families."
As she spoke, she gently held Xie Changning's hand. "Aning, you probably don't know, but on the day of your wedding, I accidentally saw Pei Zhi's eyes bloodshot as he looked at the wedding procession. There were tears in his eyes, and he looked desperate and helpless. It was a look I had never seen before."
"Even though he was standing there perfectly still, I knew that somewhere out of sight, he was completely shattered, broken into pieces that couldn't be put back together."
"Sister Fang, you are drunk." Xie Changning acted very calmly.
"You coward." Fang Rulu glanced at her, "Just keep pretending!"
Xie Changning lowered her brows and said nothing. No one knew what she was thinking.
Fang Rulu gently touched her head. "Aning, let's live freely in the future! You and I have lived too hard in the first half of our lives."
Xie Changning slowly leaned on her shoulder, just like the days when her sister took her to climb trees to catch birds, go to the river to catch fish, and the two of them pretended to be teenagers, going out to do justice, robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Every time she was punished, Sister Fang comforted her in this way.
Fang Rulu drank the wine in the pot in one gulp, then she threw the empty pot heavily on the ground, her eyes stern. "Aning, I have sent a message to my brother. I know what you want to do. Don't worry! We will cooperate with you."
As she spoke, she gazed towards the direction of the imperial palace. "But one thing is certain: bad bamboos cannot produce good shoots. Who says that only the Xiao family can rule the world?"
She suddenly grasped Xie Changning's hand, "We're all just playing anyway, so why not play a big one? Little Aning, do you think I'm right?"
Xie Changning suddenly raised her eyes, and Fang Rulu pinched her face. "Think about what I said carefully. I'm waiting for your reply."
Fang Rulu staggered to her feet, picked up the long sword beside her, and practiced a few moves in the yard. Then she waved at Xie Changning and said, "Let's go. If you need anything, send a message to me."
Xie Changning stood up and prepared to see her off.
Unexpectedly, she jumped up and flipped over the wall.
Xie Changning's mouth twitched fiercely. Sister Fang was really the same as before, never taking the ordinary path.
At night, she lay on the couch, tossing and turning thinking about Fang Rulu's words.
It is true that Your Majesty deliberately suppresses the Crown Prince.
The prince is incompetent, it's true...
In a few days, it will be the wedding date of Princess Duanyang and Yu Jiuan.
Xie Changning drank some wine, and the next day, before she even woke up, rumors were flying all over Kyoto.
Mother Du was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. "Madam, please wake up! I don't know what's going on, but rumors are spreading all over Kyoto today, saying that the children you gave birth to are not Shen Wenyuan's at all, but..."
