Chapter 99 I Will Only Marry One Person in This Life
Guanlan Courtyard.
Xie Yan didn't know what happened in the front hall at this time. He had to "recuperate" and it was not convenient for him to go out for the time being. He was bored and was sorting his box of treasures.
He wiped the hairpins, brushes and other items carefully over and over again with a clean handkerchief, and then put them back into the box properly.
Unexpectedly, just when I was halfway through cleaning up, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the yard.
Xie Yan's ears twitched slightly, and then he felt happy. It was Shengsheng's footsteps!
He immediately put his things back into the box and locked it, then picked up a book and sat on the chair.
Ruan Yunsheng pushed the door open and saw Xie Yan leisurely drinking tea and reading a book, which made him even more furious!
She didn't even call him Fifth Brother anymore and said unhappily, "You are so leisurely!"
As soon as Xie Yan saw Ruan Yunsheng's expression, he knew she was angry.
He frowned, "Shengsheng, who made you angry?"
Ruan Yunsheng said angrily, "Who said I'm angry? What is there for me to be angry about?"
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and with a bright and delicate face, she snorted coldly, "I'm here to congratulate you!"
Although Xie Yan didn't know what happened, he was sure that Shengsheng was not at fault. If there was any fault, it was definitely his fault, not someone else's.
He suppressed the urge to hug her and coax her into a hug, and asked patiently, "Shengsheng, what do you want to congratulate me for?"
Ruan Yunsheng said, "The Emperor felt sorry for you being injured and having no one to take care of you, so he specially asked Prince Duan to send you two concubines. They are now in the front hall."
Xie Yan frowned immediately, "Concubine?"
Ruan Yunsheng looked at Xie Yan unhappily and began to accuse him, "When my father was alive, he repeatedly warned us that the sons of our Marquisate are not allowed to take concubines! Even though you are now a prince and no longer under the control of the Marquisate, that is no reason for you to indulge yourself!"
Xie Yan said seriously, "I have never forgotten the Marquis's teachings. I will not accept those two concubines."
The emperor had suggested choosing a concubine for him before, but he always rejected it on the grounds that he was in poor health and needed to cultivate his character.
For no reason, Prince Duan suddenly sent two concubines over. Without thinking too much, you can tell that it has something to do with Prince Duan!
Ruan Yunsheng still had a stern face. "A concubine bestowed upon you by the Emperor, how could you possibly refuse?"
Xie Yan had already angered the emperor and was forced to stay at home unemployed. If he angered the emperor again because of two women, it would be even more difficult for him to be reinstated.
"Since you have someone to serve you now, why don't you pack your bags and move back to the palace today?"
Xie Yan stood up and walked in front of her, saying seriously, "Shengsheng, I won't cause any trouble for the Marquis' Mansion. I will handle this matter thoroughly."
Ruan Yunsheng turned his back to him and continued to sneer: "Even if you reject these two today, there will be other women tomorrow."
"Anyway, this princess doesn't have a brother who is fickle and philandering. If you have another woman by your side, you are not allowed to come to the Marquis' Mansion again!"
Xie Yan sighed. He didn't want to be her brother at all.
"There won't be another woman," Xie Yan said solemnly, "never before, never now, and never in the future."
Ruan Yunsheng turned around, blinking his black eyelashes, "Have you really never had a woman by your side for so many years?"
"No." Xie Yan looked at her deeply, "I will only marry one person in my life."
"That's more like it." Ruan Yunsheng pursed his lips and suppressed the upturned corners of his lips.
But she quickly thought of another question, "What if... the princess you'll marry in the future and I don't get along? If we get into a fight, who will you side with?"
Today, they are just two concubines who were originally palace maids, but they dare to challenge her. If Xie Yan marries a princess in the future and her personality doesn't match hers, I'm afraid he will look down on her even more.
But as soon as he asked the question, Ruan Yunsheng felt that he had asked a very stupid question.
Even if Xie Yan loved her and treated her as a younger sister, how could a younger sister be compared with his wife?
Xie Yan lives in the Marquis' Mansion now because he has not yet started a family.
When Xie Yan has a princess, he will definitely not come to live here again. When he and the princess have a child, he will only have the princess and the child in his heart. How can he still care about her, his "sister"?
Thinking of this, Ruan Yunsheng became unhappy again.
Thinking of the happy scene of Xie Yan's family, I felt depressed and uncomfortable...
She said in a muffled voice: "Just pretend I didn't ask!"
Xie Yan said firmly, "That won't happen."
Ruan Yunsheng raised her chin coquettishly: "How do you know not? Anyway, I have a bad temper, and I might dislike her for no reason!"
Xie Yan chuckled softly, "If I want to marry someone in the future, I will definitely get Shengsheng's consent. If Shengsheng nods, I will marry her."
Ruan Yunsheng blinked, "Really?"
In fact, she also felt that she was a bit overbearing. Even her four brothers would ask for her opinion when they got married, but they would not say that her consent was required.
Just like Bai Ruowei who was with the third brother before, although she knew that Bai Ruowei was not a good person, she would not rely on her brother's love for her to force the third brother to break up with Bai Ruowei. Instead, she would find a way to let the third brother see Bai Ruowei's true face for himself.
But Xie Yan actually dared to make such a boast that he would only marry her if she agreed.
How shameless!
Ruan Yunsheng didn't quite believe it and deliberately made things difficult for him, "What if I don't like everyone and always disagree?"
Xie Yan did not hesitate, "As long as you don't agree, I won't marry you. If you don't agree for the rest of your life, I will never marry you."
Although this was obviously impossible, Ruan Yunsheng was still coaxed into it.
"You said it!"
Xie Yan nodded, "Yeah."
Seeing Ruan Yunsheng smile again, Xie Yan felt relieved, but when he thought of Prince Duan and the two so-called concubines, his eyes darkened again.
"Shengsheng, go back to Yuehuayuan and rest first. I'll go and take care of this matter."
He naturally wouldn't take any concubines, even if it meant keeping them in the backyard as decorations.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Yunsheng cleared his throat and said proudly, "No need, this matter has already been resolved by this princess."
Xie Yan showed a surprised expression, "Solved?"
Ruan Yunsheng nodded. "Those two maids were disrespectful to me, so I had the guards kick them out! Prince Duan had no choice but to stuff them into a carriage and send them back to Prince Xuan's mansion."
She stretched out her fingers and pointed a tiny distance, "Then, I used a little trick..."
Anyway, the person was taken away by Prince Duan, so if anything happened on the way, it would be Prince Duan's fault.
She was a weak princess who was powerless and knew nothing.
She just drove the maid out of the mansion because of her inappropriate attitude. Even if the emperor wanted to hold someone accountable, it would not be her fault.
Xie Yan has helped her so many times, so it’s no big deal for her to do him a little favor.
"If they were innocent women from decent families, I wouldn't kill them all, but those two have clearly been bribed by Prince Duan. Leaving them behind means leaving two more troubles behind."
Ruan Yunsheng raised her chin proudly: "This princess helped you, how do you plan to thank me?"
