Chapter 554: I give it to you, it's yours
Princess Huayang's smile froze slightly. She glanced at Xie Wanjun, who was standing aside with a calm expression and no sign of jealousy. Her eyes couldn't help but darken.
The third son's wife used to seem intelligent, but now she looks more and more lifeless.
The couple stood there, and at first glance, neither of them looked likable.
Although she felt unhappy, Princess Huayang still smiled and took off the aqua jade bracelet on her other wrist, saying, "My third wife likes light colors. This bracelet suits you perfectly."
Xie Wanjun stepped forward and took it respectfully, saying politely, "My niece thanks you, aunt."
Since she had already accepted it, it was naturally difficult for Song Yanxi to refuse.
Just as Mo Jinchuan was about to speak for her, Princess Huayang said, "You two go to the front and help me greet the guests. I'll go back and rest for a while. I still have to deal with the Marquis of Yongchuan later."
Her eyes fell on Song Yanxi and she smiled faintly, "Go back after dinner, so you don't run into him later and get confused."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
"We are all family, so please don't be so polite to me in the future."
Princess Huayang seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xie Wanjun and said, "My third daughter-in-law, Yong'an rarely attends these banquets. Take her out to meet people later.
It also prevents some ignorant people from mistaking it for me."
Xie Wanjun responded respectfully.
As Princess Huayang left her side, she caught a glimpse of her thin chin and frowned, "How come you're getting thinner and thinner? This can't go on."
She didn't say much, but Xie Wanjun knew very well that she was complaining about her weak body and difficulty in giving birth. After living in the palace for so many years, she had only given birth to one son for Mo Lingxuan.
She had heard these words many times since she entered the palace and had long been accustomed to them.
Compared to her mother-in-law, the imperial concubine, this aunt's words were already very tactful.
Watching Princess Huayang's departing figure, Mo Lingxuan stared sinisterly at Xie Wanjun, who was obediently listening to his instructions, and asked, "Did your aunt hear what I just said, Princess?"
Xie Wanjun nodded, lowered her brows and didn't want to look at him any longer.
Seeing this, Mo Lingxuan's face became even colder.
His aunt had just left, but he, the good princess, was too lazy to even pretend.
This is happening in front of people!
Does she trust Xiaowu and this damn princess so much?
The more Mo Lingxuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt a dull pain in his chest and couldn't help but cough lightly.
Song Yanxi looked at him and frowned, reminding him, "If Prince Ning really wants to take good care of his health, he should control his temper."
"Who do you think you are? Why do you think you can control this king?"
"Your Highness Prince Ning, do you mean it's incurable?"
Meeting Song Yanxi's eyes that seemed to be eager for a quick release, Mo Lingxuan sneered and said, "You wish."
He wanted to say something, but he felt a cold gaze falling on him.
Without even looking, you know it was his good brother who did it.
Mo Lingxuan stared at Song Yanxi with a serious look in his eyes and said meaningfully, "I really underestimated you.
I don't know what kind of magic you used, even though you're a second bride, you still make Xiaowu treat you like the apple of his eye."
He turned his head and met Mo Jinchuan's cold eyes, and suddenly laughed out of anger.
He asked, "Xiao Wu, what's so good about Song Yanxi?"
Mo Jinchuan said with a cold expression: "She is good in every way."
Hearing this, Mo Lingxuan's mouth twitched with anger, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I really want to rip your head open and see what's inside."
Mo Jinchuan: "What Third Brother said is also what I think in my heart."
"you!"
"Your Majesty, anger is harmful to your health."
Hearing Xie Wanjun's voice, Mo Lingxuan was stunned for a moment.
But then he reacted.
What she said was not because she cared about him, but because she couldn't bear to see him making things difficult for Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi.
It's okay for Xiaowu. She has watched him grow up since he was a child. It's understandable that they can be considered childhood sweethearts and have unforgettable feelings for each other.
But what right does that guy surnamed Song have?
Facing Mo Lingxuan's eyes that were about to spit fire, Song Yanxi kindly reminded him, "Your Highness, anger hurts your liver."
"How about this king? Is it your turn to be hypocritical here?"
"Third brother, please be respectful."
Mo Jinchuan took a step forward and protected Song Yanxi behind him, his black eyes full of warning.
Seeing this, Mo Lingxuan couldn't help but sneer, "Why, are you going to teach me a lesson on behalf of your sweetheart?"
"If Third Brother continues to speak rudely, I wouldn't mind helping him sober up."
"You dare!"
"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
"You!" Mo Lingxuan was furious.
He naturally knew that his younger brother dared to do this.
And in his current physical condition, he couldn't even withstand his punch.
Mo Lingxuan was so angry that his teeth were itching. He stared at Song Yanxi intently, and said, "You are really capable," and turned around and left.
Xie Wanjun smiled apologetically at the two of them and quickly followed.
The word "Third sister-in-law" came to Mo Jinchuan's lips, but he swallowed it back.
The third brother already suspected that there was an old relationship between the two of them, and now he should avoid suspicion even more.
From a distance, Song Yanxi heard Mo Lingxuan's cold voice: "What are you doing following me? It's a rare opportunity for you to come out. You should go find your good junior brother and catch up with us."
Xie Wanjun's voice remained cold. "You don't need to be so sarcastic. We are both upright and honest. You can smear us however you want."
"Honest?" Mo Lingxuan sneered, "If you truly have a clear conscience, why don't you speak directly to me, and instead ask Xiaowu to go to the palace and complain to my father?"
He grabbed Xie Wanjun, put his arm around her waist and threatened her fiercely, "If you want to follow Song Yanxi's example and divorce me, and leave me, forget it!"
As if deliberately speaking for the two people behind him to hear, he shouted: "Unless you die, otherwise, this king will never let you go."
Song Yanxi wanted to curse after hearing what she heard. Just as she was about to follow, someone grabbed her wrist.
She turned around, her eyes full of confusion, "Why did the prince stop me?"
Mo Jinchuan did not explain, but only said three words.
"He doesn't dare."
Thinking about how Mo Lingxuan had just deliberately raised his voice, which was clearly meant for them to hear, Song Yanxi's heart slowly settled down.
It must be that His Majesty had deliberately warned Prince Ning that he was unwilling to let Princess Ning leave and was deliberately making harsh remarks there.
But if you can't bear to let her go, why treat her like that?
Meeting her puzzled eyes, Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened and he said, "The story between Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law is a long one."
As he spoke, he reached out and took Song Yanxi's hand, looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist with a cold look in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Song Yanxi said, "I like this bracelet very much, but it's too expensive."
Hearing her say that she liked it, Mo Jinchuan gave up the idea of giving it back. He raised the corner of his lips and said, "As long as you like it, it's good. Auntie used to wear this bracelet a lot. It's rare that she would be willing to give it up."
"Really? Then I can't accept it." Song Yanxi said as she was about to take off the bracelet.
Mo Jinchuan took her hand and said firmly, "I give it to you, and it's yours."
Song Yanxi's cheeks felt hot, and she was about to pull her hand back.
Unexpectedly, Mo Jinchuan not only did not let go, but held it even tighter.
Meeting her disapproving gaze, he jokingly asked, "What's wrong with this king holding his fiancée's hand?"
