Chapter 169 A Chess Piece
She suddenly felt that her words had been a little harsh and that she shouldn't have belittled his affection and hard work.
But compared to overthrowing Xiao Ze, she really felt that this deal was not a loss.
Silence spread between the two of them. Duan Yingying stood on the boat table, feeling the cold wind and gazing at the scenery in the distance.
There are not many boats tonight, but the lake is full of lanterns. They carry the dreams and hopes of many people, and of course also hopes and regrets.
If possible, she would also like to light one and pray that when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes again this year, she will ask the man's name, pledge her love to him, and marry him while her grandfather is still alive.
Even if he fell into poverty later on, he would not end up like today, neither human nor ghost.
The intense breathing sounds of the man and woman in pleasure filled her ears. Duan Yingying hugged her arms to keep warm, and tilted her head to imagine that her life would be completely different after marrying that man.
He is a responsible man and will never let her down. Under his care, she will live a carefree life in the backyard and lead a happy life.
Fortunately, the people inside finished very quickly. Before Duan Yingying could completely come back to her senses from her dream, the door of the boat room was opened and Xiao Ze walked out with a satisfied look on his face.
Duan Mengmeng lowered her head shyly, not daring to raise it. Her neck was covered with red marks left from the lovemaking, but she perhaps didn't notice and didn't try to cover them up at all.
Duan Yingying withdrew her gaze expressionlessly.
Xiao Ze gave her a very satisfied look, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Duan. When we return home, this prince will definitely reward you well."
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. This is what I should do."
Xiao Ze nodded, laughed and returned to the boat.
Duan Mengmeng walked towards Duan Yingying and said shyly, "Just now, we had to trouble Second Sister to keep watch for us. It's all the Second Prince's fault. I didn't want to do it, but he...he forced me to do it."
She showed sadness on her face at the right time, but it was all meant to show off. Duan Yingying smiled faintly, "The Second Prince is a playboy, he is the same to everyone. He was also very tough to me at the beginning."
Duan Mengmeng's expression changed slightly, and a cold look flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled, "Second sister won't tell anyone about my destiny's daughter, right?"
Duan Yingying turned around and looked at her. Just when Duan Mengmeng was worried, she smiled and said, "Of course not. After all, I am a daughter of the Duan family. If I tell anyone, no matter who I tell, it will not end well. How could I do such a stupid thing?"
Duan Mengmeng was relieved.
Yes, Duan Yingying is also a daughter of the Duan family. If the emperor knew that she was not the daughter of destiny, he would vent his anger on her and no one would be happy, including herself. So what did she have to worry about?
The anger that Shen Anan had suppressed was now directed at Duan Yingying. Although they were sisters, her husband loved her more. Nothing can make a woman feel superior more than this.
"The Second Prince said that he would give me the title of concubine, but now the titles of concubines in the Second Prince's mansion are full. Second sister, whose rank will he demote?"
The other concubine came from a prominent family. The two girls of the Duan family would not offend the Duan family if one was demoted and the other promoted. Duan Yingying was not favored, so there was no need to think about what Xiao Ze would do.
Duan Yingying dug her nails into her flesh, but she still had a calm smile on her face. "We can't guess what the Second Prince is thinking. Besides, Third Sister's status is not ordinary now, so it may not be easy for her to enter the palace."
"He said he would find a way." Duan Mengmeng was very confident.
Duan Yingying did not comment and pointed to another boat, "Look, the Fourth Prince and his wife are looking at us. What do you think they are thinking?"
"She must be thinking that our daughter is really lowly. She has sex with a man without any matchmaker or engagement, and in such a public place. She has no shame at all."
She said it so calmly that she even cursed herself. However, Duan Mengmeng's expression changed instantly. She looked at Xiao Yuan with tears in her eyes, but he just glanced at her coldly and immediately looked away.
It seems like if you look at it for one more second, it’s dirty! !
"I'm different from you." Duan Mengmeng growled, "I'm not a cheap commodity sent to the carriage. I'm what the Second Prince spent a lot of effort to get."
She is the daughter of destiny and has Xiao Ze's love, so how can she be compared to Duan Yingying, a chess piece.
She was used to being arrogant, so how could she accept what Duan Yingying said?
Duan Yingying's eyes flashed coldly, then calmed down again, without any sign of anger, and said, "Really? Then I wish Third Sister good luck."
"However, it must not be a pleasant feeling to have sex with another man on your beloved's ship. The Second Prince is narrow-minded, so you must not show it later, otherwise both sides will suffer."
These words were like a knife stabbing into Duan Mengmeng's heart.
She chose Xiao Yuan's ship out of revenge. She didn't believe that he had no feelings for her, but when she really saw the furnishings on the ship and the charming curtains and curtains...
She also knew that he really loved Shen An'an and was heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe, and Xiao Ze's fierce offensive made up for her humiliation of not being able to love her.
Not only her, Duan Yingying also did it on purpose, deliberately disgusting and humiliating Duan Mengmeng.
She liked Xiao Yuan so much, but she did shameful things with other men in front of him, just like her sarcasm when she knew that she liked Shen Changhe.
And Xiao Ze...
"Thank you for occupying fourth brother's boat today." There was pride in his eyes and brows.
Many women in the capital were attracted to Xiao Yuan, and they all wanted power and money. He had liked Duan Mengmeng for several years, but she was deeply in love with Xiao Yuan.
But now, he has been captured by him, and is in Xiao Yuan's territory.
Xiao Yuan's face was extremely cold, and Xiao Ze thought he had finally won him over, and smiled even more, "Don't mind it, fourth brother. Women's hearts are like needles in the sea. They like this one today and admire that one tomorrow. It's easy to change."
"Really?" He said indifferently, but turned his head to look in Shen Anan's direction.
"..." She had been silent for half an hour, why did he suddenly provoke her again?
Xiao Yuan suddenly stood up, walked over, grabbed Shen Anan's wrist and left.
Things were already done, and Shen Anan didn't want to stay and face the faces of Xiao Ze and the Duan sisters, so she obediently followed him away.
Back on his boat, Xiao Ze felt even happier when he saw the furious Xiao Yuan. He waved to Duan Mengmeng and hugged her in his arms.
"My beloved concubine, do you still like my fourth brother?"
Duan Mengmeng bit her lip tightly, with a smile on her face, "What are you talking about, Second Prince? What is our relationship now?"
Xiao Ze smiled with satisfaction. At this moment, Zhou suddenly appeared on the table. Seeing the intimate scene of Duan Mengmeng sitting on Xiao Ze's lap, she completely collapsed.
She rushed over, pulled Duan Mengmeng down, and kicked her hard twice. After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Ze quickly reached out to stop her.
Duan Yingying looked at this scene, silently curled her lips and took a few steps back, fearing that she would be affected. Looking at Xiao Ze trying his best to protect Duan Mengmeng, her lips were full of cold ridicule.
If he had been willing to protect her at the beginning, perhaps she would not have been so cruel to her, but who could blame her for not treating her as a human being?
All kinds of dirty words came out of Zhou's mouth, the voice was extremely sharp, and the quarrel was very lively. Xiao Ze stood in the middle and his face was scratched several times.
But Zhou's eldest brother has been enjoying the emperor's favor these days, and he cannot offend him, so he can only try his best to persuade him.
Zhou vented all her resentment, overturned the table, and made a loud noise.
Shen Anan couldn't help but look back, and couldn't even move.
Looking at Xiao Ze's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
A cold voice suddenly sounded beside my ears, "Madam seems very satisfied with her results? Hmm?"
Shen Anan immediately distanced herself from the matter, "I didn't do anything. I just said a few words. It was done by the two of them and pushed by Duan Yingying. It has nothing to do with me."
She blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and Xiao Yuan laughed in anger.
It was really lively on Xiao Ze's boat. With such a good show of tearing each other apart, Shen Anan really wanted to move a stool to sit down and watch it carefully. Unfortunately, there was an angry plague god beside him.
"Madam, your goal has been achieved. Is it time to settle our accounts?"
Now on the boat, Xiao Yuan felt disgusted even when he stepped on it. The things he had carefully prepared for a long time were destroyed just like that. He was so angry that his chest felt like it was going to explode.
Especially Shen Anan’s indifferent attitude.
Settlement of accounts? Shen Anan was stunned for a moment, and was dragged into the boat room by Xiao Yuan.
Fortunately, there was no sign of anyone coming in, otherwise Xiao Yuan would have gone berserk.
There was a hurried pace outside. Qingfeng and Qingan fetched water, washed the boat table, and threw everything in the room down.
Shen Anan sat on the bed, looking up at Xiao Yuan who was walking back and forth, furious but with nowhere to vent.
She still didn't think she had done anything wrong, and was even considering him.
Xiao Ze and Duan Mengmeng's hanging out together is undoubtedly a dead end. With the presence of the poisonous Duan Yingying, it can be said that it is twice as easy for him to get twice the result with half the effort.
It's just a ship. If you want to come back another day, you can just come back another day. Why bother with so much obsession?
As she was thinking, she suddenly froze.
Yes, there is no need to take a cruise, and what difference does it make how and who comes? But why was she so entangled and persistent in her previous life?
When she was lost in thought, her shoulders were suddenly grabbed and pressed down on the bed, "Chen An'an, you really know how to humiliate me."
She pursed her lips and looked at him, shocked by his fury. Her face turned pale and she didn't say a word, fearing that he would punch her in anger.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, but suddenly let go of her and walked out.
Shen Anan heard his order for Qingan to turn around and return home.
Indeed, the matter between the Second Prince and Duan Mengmeng would indeed ruin people's mood, and maybe that was why he was angry...
She followed him out and saw him standing on the boat's platform. The boat was already in the center of the lake. Except for Xiao Ze's big boat, no other boat dared to approach the center of the lake, so it was very quiet.
The cold wind became even more unbridled, blowing up his brocade robe. When he faced the lake, the breath he exuded was even colder than the lake itself.
Shen Anan slowly approached him, "Are you angry that I framed Duan Mengmeng because of Mr. Duan's kindness?"
She asked the question very tactfully. After all, they were childhood sweethearts. It was understandable that he felt uncomfortable when she was having sex with another man in front of him.
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as she said it, Xiao Yuan's face became even colder. He slowly turned around and gave her an extremely cold look.
"If I say yes, what will you do, Madam?"
"..." Shen Anan didn't feel anything in her heart, she just said, "If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier? She already had it, and I can't take it back from you."
Besides, would he be willing to have a woman that Xiao Ze had used before? Of course, even if he was willing, she would not want her. That woman was just a trouble, and she didn't have the time to compete with her in wits and courage every day.
Xiao Yuan laughed in anger, without further explanation. Silence spread between the two of them. Qingfeng and his companions quickly pulled the boat to the shore.
Xiao Yuan flicked his sleeves and left, his back looking angry.
Chen Anan was helped up by Mo Xiang, and she did not forget to look back at the boat. It was very beautiful and warm. If it was in her previous life, she would definitely like it very much and would be so happy that she would forget everything else.
And now, I still like it, but it lacks the passion of a young girl in love. It’s a bit of a pity that it was destroyed by those two people.
"Are you not leaving yet?" Xiao Yuan's cold voice came from the carriage.
Shen Anan immediately retracted her gaze and got on the carriage. She automatically sat by the side and did not dare to get too close to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan stared at her, his eyes indescribably cold and depressing.
The carriage slowly turned and left Hua'an Street and returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. It was already late at night, and except for a few sporadic fireworks, the streets were almost silent.
Shen Anan thought that since he was so angry, he would definitely stay in the study, but he followed her back to Wutong Garden without saying a word.
