Shen Ningzhu sneered, but her eyes were cold.
"Oh, that's really hard for you. But from now on, you don't have to be so embarrassed, really."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that Song Hanchuan doesn't have to give up anything, and he doesn't have to bear any pressure. He can marry Xiaoyi and promise her a lifetime together."
"He's more handsome than you, more gentle than you, and loves Xiaoyi more than you do. More importantly, Xiaoyi loves him too."
Pei Yunchu slowly stood up straight from his huddled body, choking with laughter, and then angrily said,
"Do you believe what you said? Song Hanchuan is just a eunuch. What qualifications does he have to like Xiaoyi? Can he give Xiaoyi the happiness she wants?"
A malicious smile flashed in Shen Ningzhu's eyes.
"Who told you that Song Hanchuan is a eunuch?"
Pei Yunchu was obviously stunned.
"What do you mean by that?"
His expression changed back and forth many times before he sneered and said with a murderous look in his eyes,
"If that's the case, I'll kill him."
Chen Ningzhu glanced at him meaningfully, not wanting to say more to him, and said lightly,
"Song Hanchuan is the shining light in Xiaoyi's life, more important than me. If you kill him, you are killing Xiaoyi. Think about it yourself."
"Xiaoyi is too lazy to bother with you, but today, if you dare to ruin her wedding, I will kill you."
As she spoke, she straightened her dress and walked towards her carriage.
Halfway through the walk, she paused slightly, a sneer appearing at the corner of her lips.
"Pei Yunchu, Xiaoyi did have feelings for you, but when you asked her to be your concubine, she withdrew her feelings. From that moment on, there was no possibility for the two of you."
"You might say, didn't you agree to it later? But by then you were already out, so no matter how much you did later, it would be useless."
…
Shen Mansion
Chen Ningzhu held up her chin and lowered her eyes, sitting idly at the stone table in the yard. Her long eyelashes covered the emotions in her eyes, casting two small shadows on her porcelain-white face.
She is different today than usual.
She had taken off all the pearls and jade jewelry on her head, and had nothing on her ears. She only left a thorny hairpin loosely holding up half of her black hair, and the rest was draped over her shoulders and hung down to her waist.
The breeze blows, and the hair flies.
The clothes on his body also changed.
She took off her usual exquisite and gorgeous dresses and put on the most low-key and simple casual clothes. If it weren't for her extraordinary temperament, her figure would also be exceptionally slim.
If you don’t know, you might think she is a maid in the mansion!
When Jiang Xuanyan staggered over, he saw this scene.
Chen Ningzhu, standing before him, was bored, drawing circles on the tabletop with a slender finger. Her smoky blue sleeves had slipped to her elbows, revealing a wrist as white as frost and snow.
I heard the voice say faintly,
"Has that scumbag left?"
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any reply, and I could hear heavy breathing in my ears.
At some point, the air was filled with a faint, familiar, cold fragrance.
Shen Ningzhu was stunned and looked up quickly. When she saw that the person who came was not the servant she sent, but Jiang Xuanyan, who was supposed to be in the palace, lying in bed recuperating from illness, she suddenly felt uneasy.
"You...what are you..."
"Who are you waiting for?"
Jiang Xuanyan asked instead of answering, his eyes gloomy and cold, staring straight into Shen Ningzhu's eyes. Before she could finish, he interrupted coldly.
"I……"
"Didn't you say that you left the palace to attend the wedding at the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why are you here now?"
Shen Ningzhu blinked, and her face immediately changed to an aggrieved expression.
She lowered her head and pretended to wipe away tears, but in fact she was secretly observing the changes in the expression on the man in front of her through her fingers.
"Wow, wow, do you think I don't want to attend Xiaoyi's wedding? It's your good brother who's blocking the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion like a murderer."
"They beat me when they saw me and shouted that they wanted to kill me."
"I had no choice but to flee back to the Shen Mansion."
Jiang Xuanyan frowned tightly, his face full of suspicion.
Shen Ningzhu quickly raised her chin, pointed at her neck, and said with red eyes,
"If you don't believe me, look, this is what he pinched."
Shen Ningzhu's skin is white, and any casual touch on her body will leave a very obvious mark.
Since returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Ningzhu has not looked in the mirror, but she is sure that there is definitely a mark on her neck.
Sure enough, when Jiang Xuanyan's eyes fell on her slender neck, his eyes instantly became bloodshot.
He strode forward, held Shen Ningzhu's shoulders tightly with both hands, and said hurriedly,
"How could this happen? You're looking for death."
Chen Ningzhu seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"You have no idea how terrifying he was back then. Fuling and Shaoyao saw how rude he was, so they stood in front of me to protect me. But he kicked them over ten meters away, and they're still unconscious now."
"The doctor said that both of them had several broken ribs. I'm afraid they'll need a long time to recover."
"Oh, what did I do wrong? Why does General Pei hate me so much and want to kill me?"
While Chen Ningzhu was chatting, she couldn't help but retching in her heart.
Facts have proved that men really fall for this trick. After hearing it, he immediately believed what Shen Ningzhu said. He even pulled her into his arms with heartache, gently patted her back and coaxed her patiently.
"Come here, go to the gate of the Prime Minister's residence immediately and lock Pei Yunchu up in the Ministry of Punishment for severe punishment."
Shen Ningzhu raised an eyebrow.
That’s great, this way no one will disturb Xiaoyi’s wedding.
As for whether Pei Yunchu's injuries could withstand the punishment from the Ministry of Punishment, that was not her concern.
Marquis Pei and his wife will definitely try to make arrangements.
This time, I'll make him lose a lot of skin and not have the energy to look for Xiaoyi. If he can figure it out, that's even better. If not...
Shen Ningzhu narrowed her eyes, wondering whether she should take the last bit of silver left in the warehouse and go to Lord Killer to place an order before leaving.
"By the way, who were you waiting for?"
Jiang Xuanyan asked the same question again.
Shen Ningzhu couldn't think of any excuse to make, so she changed the subject.
"Why did you leave the palace?"
"You're injured like this and you still don't know how to behave yourself. Jiang Yi, come out quickly and take your Majesty back to the palace to recuperate."
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Yi did not show up, and Jiang Xuanyan just glared at her coldly, with a dark look in his eyes.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Ningzhu felt anxious, fearing that if he stayed any longer, it would disrupt her plans.
I don’t want Jiang Xuanyan to bring it up directly.
"Zhuzhu, the people you ordered to enter the palace to take Jinxiu Huanian and the other two out of the palace have all been detained by me."
Shen Ningzhu: ...
Jiang Xuanyan raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"You must be wondering how Song Hanchuan's people were so careless that I discovered them so quickly, right?
Actually, I have to thank you for this.
Because when I woke up, I found that the jade pendant on my neck had been secretly replaced by you. I guessed that you were hiding something from me, so I immediately sent people to Chang'an Palace and Changle Palace.
