Chapter 103 Cousin, don’t be fooled by Xie Yan!
Ruan Yunbo sighed, "Fifth brother's personality is sometimes very similar to that of eldest brother. Knowing that it would anger the emperor, why didn't he speak more tactfully?"
Ruan Yunsheng thought it was a good idea. "Some things should be refused. Otherwise, the emperor will give her a concubine this time and a concubine next time, and it will go on and on...Won't Xie Yan become the same as Xie Huaiye in the future?"
Thinking of Prince Duan's behavior, Ruan Yunbo also felt very disgusted.
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother and Shengsheng. They are just under house arrest. I will find a way to resume work as soon as possible."
Ruan Yunbo nodded, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so it would be best if you can recuperate in the mansion for a few more days."
Among those present, only Pei Jinghong was visibly happy, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
It’s great that Xie Yan is gone!
He didn't have to worry every day. Xie Yan sent someone to secretly put Dahuang in his yard.
Xie Yan noticed Pei Jinghong's expression and sneered in his heart: It's too early for you to be happy!
After everyone had lunch together, Xie Yan returned to Guanlan Courtyard to pack his luggage, mainly because he had to take his box of treasures with him.
Thinking that Xie Yan was about to leave the Marquis' Mansion and would be under house arrest and would never be able to appear in front of his cousin again for a short time, Pei Jinghong was so happy that he wanted to go out and set off firecrackers!
At this time, Mo Ying came over and said, "My cousin, my prince has a few words to say to you alone."
Pei Jinghong raised his eyebrows. Xie Yan actually had something to say to him?
He snorted in his heart: Xie Yan just wanted to warn him not to get close to his cousin.
But he really wanted to see with his own eyes how angry and helpless Xie Yan looked!
When he followed Mo Ying to Guanlan Courtyard, Xie Yan was sitting at the white jade table in the courtyard sipping tea.
Seeing Pei Jinghong coming over, Xie Yan raised his eyelids casually, "Here he comes."
Pei Jinghong sneered: "Your Highness is in such a good mood. He's about to leave, but he's still in the mood to drink tea."
He lifted up his robe and sat down, saying cheerfully, "You don't want to stay a little longer, do you? But even if you stay until dark, you still have to leave the mansion today."
Xie Yan curled the corners of his lips slightly. Since there was no one else present, he no longer pretended to call Pei Jinghong "cousin" but called him by his name.
He said cryptically, "Pei Jinghong, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still haven't made any progress."
Still as stupid and defenseless as when I was a kid.
Pei Jinghong put away his smile and frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xie Yan put down the teacup and without warning punched Pei Jinghong's androgynous face!
Pei Jinghong was stunned for a moment.
He thought Xie Yan had called him here to warn him, but he didn't expect this man to start fighting right away and even hit him in the face!
Pei Jinghong's anger was instantly provoked by Xie Yan. He stood up, grabbed Xie Yan's collar, and shouted angrily: "Xie Yan, don't go too far! Do you think that just because you are a prince now, I won't dare to fight you?"
Xie Yan's lips remained curved, and he smiled calmly, "Pei Jinghong, you look so helpless and furious, just like when you were a kid."
"When I was little, I was just a dog, but I scared you so much that you cried for your parents and fled the mansion in disgrace. Now, what qualifications do you have to compete with me?"
Pei Jinghong's chest heaved with anger. "Xie Yan, you've been a despicable villain since childhood. Sooner or later, your cousin will see through your true colors!"
Xie Yan glanced past the courtyard gate and saw Mo Ying nod at him. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Pei Jinghong, you're not attracted by the wealth and splendor of the Marquis' Mansion and want to become his son-in-law, are you? But while I'm here, you can't even touch Shengsheng."
"But..." He stood up and pulled Pei Jinghong's hand away with force. Relying on his height advantage, he looked down at Pei Jinghong condescendingly.
He said with a contemptuous tone: "With your appearance, there are many dignitaries in Shengjing who like you. For the sake of our acquaintance, if you want wealth and glory, this king can help you."
Because of his exquisite appearance, Pei Jinghong has encountered many dirty-minded people who are attracted by his appearance during his travels over the years, so what he hates most is others making fun of his appearance.
Xie Yan's words hit the nail on the head.
He couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Xie Yan with his palm, "Xie Yan, shut up!"
Originally, he just wanted to teach Xie Yan a lesson, so he used three-tenths of his internal energy.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yan was knocked out by his palm, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth!
"Xie Yan——!!!"
As soon as Ruan Yunsheng came over, he saw from a distance that Pei Jinghong was punching Xie Yan with an angry face. Xie Yan did not fight back and was beaten to the point of vomiting blood!
She held up her skirt and ran towards Xie Yan, squatted in front of him and carefully helped him up. Unexpectedly, just as Xie Yan sat up, he vomited blood again!
The bright red blood stung Ruan Yunsheng's eyes. She trembled and asked, "Xie Yan, how are you?"
Pei Jinghong stood there in a daze, looking at his palm in disbelief, then looking at Xie Yan who was vomiting blood and weak.
He couldn't help but say, "Cousin, don't be fooled by Xie Yan. I only used 30% of my internal energy. I wouldn't beat anyone to the point of vomiting blood!"
Ruan Yunsheng turned around and, for the first time, spoke harshly to Pei Jinghong, "30% of your internal energy? Xie Yan was still seriously injured, and you actually used your internal energy to hit him! Don't you know he was seriously ill and injured many times before?"
Pei Jinghong stammered, "Cousin, please listen to my explanation. I wasn't the one who took the initiative. It was clearly him..."
At this time, Xie Yan coughed forcefully a few times, gently tugged at Ruan Yunsheng's sleeve, and said weakly: "Shengsheng, cousin didn't mean it, don't blame him."
Ruan Yunsheng quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of Xie Yan's lips. He frowned and said, "Even after being beaten like this, you're still speaking for outsiders."
"No, cousin, believe me, I didn't use any force at all, and it was Xie Yan who hit me first!" Pei Jinghong died unjustly, pointing at himself, "Cousin, look at the wound on my face!"
Only then did Ruan Yunsheng notice the bruises on the corners of Pei Jinghong's lips, obviously he had just been beaten.
The nature of the fight between the two and Xie Yan being beaten unilaterally is completely different.
However, Pei Jinghong only suffered some minor injuries, but Xie Yan was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, so Xie Yan was still at a disadvantage.
Xie Yan coughed a few more times and sighed, "Shengsheng, I originally wanted to ask my cousin to take good care of you while I'm away from the mansion."
"But you know, I'm not good at talking. I don't know how I ended up arguing with my cousin."
"But no matter what, my cousin is a guest, and I shouldn't fight with him."
Ruan Yunsheng was convinced of this. After all, Xie Yan had just been confined to his room by the emperor that morning because he "couldn't speak" and disobeyed him.
Xie Yan lowered his eyes and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. If I had spoken more tactfully..."
