The tone was light, as if talking about something not worth mentioning.
"Lu Ziyan!" Xie Wan Ning was shocked and angry, staring at him, "I know you are used to doing whatever it takes, but not everything can go your way."
"Even if you kill him, I won't marry you. Don't force me!"
"Don't force me!" Lu Ziyan stood up suddenly, gritting his teeth and said, "Do you like that old man so much? Now that he's dead, are you still going to stay faithful to him?"
He began to put his clothes in order.
Xie Wan Ning seized the opportunity and wanted to leave, but just as she turned around, she was frozen in place by his look and dared not move another step.
She was completely cornered by him. The delicate little girl looked so timid and made people want to bully her.
Seeing her like this, Lu Ziyan's throat rolled for a moment, and he pulled a smile on his lips, "What are you afraid of?"
He turned sideways to give her some space, looked at her and said, "When have I ever really bullied you?"
Shame on you!
Xie Wan Ning cursed inwardly, but without stopping, she quickly escaped from him.
She walked to the unconscious Erqing, so that she would not be alone and could gain some strength.
Lu Ziyan slowly dressed himself, but his eyes were glued to her. Seeing her indignant expression, he paused and said, "Do you want to know what it feels like when I really bully someone?"
Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning refused without thinking.
"Don't be afraid," he laughed and said, "I won't bully you."
His tone was gentle, and even contained a hint of coaxing, as if the two of them were a couple deeply in love.
But they had just had a fierce quarrel, and the places where he had rubbed her were still painful, and there was no way she could resolve the grudge.
She turned her head away from him and said, "Go away!"
"No," he straightened his clothes and didn't come closer. He just leaned against the wall with his shoulder tilted, looking at her with his head tilted, like a rogue, "I'll wait here for that old man to come and fight with him. Let you see with your own eyes how I bully people."
Xie Wan Ning looked at him in disbelief, "Do you still have any shame?"
If you come to someone else's house to block his wife like this, you will be condemned by everyone no matter who you tell.
Not to mention that he is just a prince who was lost outside, even if the current emperor himself came, there is no right for him to forcibly seize someone else's wife!
It would have been fine if he had just left without sneaking around, but he actually waited for Pei Yuqing to come and fight.
Lu Ziyan sneered, "Because of you, I've almost become a laughing stock in the whole capital. How can I still have the face to show off?"
How can he still have the face to live when his wife has been taken away by someone else?
He came back from a long journey and broke into the bridal chamber at night, but he was unable to stop his beloved girl from getting married. Half a year had passed, and the news was known not only to the capital, but probably even to the foreigners in the northern border.
Even if no one dared to mention this matter to his face, Lu Ziyan understood that he had lost all his dignity and face because of such a fuss over a woman.
But he didn't care.
Having lived two lives, he has long realized what is most important in his heart. Compared to her, face is nothing.
As long as she is willing to come back, he can do anything.
Xie Wan Ning really didn’t understand. In her memory, this man had always been proud, firm in his words, and never bowed his head since his youth. What had he experienced to make him become such a thug?
No matter what you say, nice or bad, it's useless, he just shamelessly pesters her.
Lu Ziyan really had no intention of leaving. He looked around, walked to the tea table by the window and sat down. He raised his hand to pour a cup of tea. When he was about to drink it, he suddenly stopped and asked her, "Would you like some?"
Xie Wan Ning turned her face away and ignored him.
"You've shed so many tears. If you don't drink some water, what will you do if you can't cry later?" He laughed and said, "Your tears are weapons. Maybe if you cry a few times later, I won't beat him."
What he said was actually the truth, but his tone was so light that Xie Wan Ning only heard sarcasm. She was so angry at this man's shamelessness that she almost fumed.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you beat him up, what can you solve? I'm still his wife!"
As she spoke, she also imitated his mocking smile: "Old Marquis Lu taught you to practice martial arts because he hoped you would defend your country, not to let you use force to seize someone else's wife!"
Robbery of wives...
Lu Ziyan paused again in his action of drinking water. After a moment of silence, he took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"So what are you going to do?" He said, "Wanwan, have you thought about how to deal with the three of us?"
Xie Wan Ning already knew how much of a gangster he was, and knew that it was useless to say anything, so she didn't want to waste her breath on him.
Lu Ziyan waited for a while, but she didn't say anything. He sighed and said, "Escape won't solve the problem. You should think seriously about what it will take for you to give me another chance."
"If possible, I don't want to scare you at all." He said, "But Wanwan, you can't be so cruel to me and not give me any hope."
Even the most heinous criminals should have specific criminal laws.
Since she didn't take his life, she couldn't ignore his existence, at least...
At least give him some hope.
Xie Wan Ning originally didn't want to speak, but when she saw him sitting up straight out of the corner of her eye, as if he was about to come over here, she had to speak.
"I am married."
She had said this countless times, and Lu Ziyan no longer had the anger he had at the beginning. He said, "What's the big deal? There are many women in this dynasty who remarried after divorce. Even Taizu's Empress Xiaohui entered the palace as a second marriage, didn't she?"
