Chapter 039 Chapter 39
Before Xu Duanyi could figure out why Xie Qingya was here, Xiao Yuanfu started shouting the first thing he did when he saw Xie Qingya's face clearly.
"Xie Qingya, you dare to hit me!"
He had originally covered his forehead with his hands, but now he stared with a pair of flaming eyes. As he spoke, he raised his hands high, clenched them into fists, and rushed towards Xie Qingya.
While rushing, he shouted: "I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
When Xu Duanyi heard the noise, his eyes, which had been fixed on Xie Qingya's figure, turned to look in the direction of Xiao Yuanfu.
Wait and see what Xiao Yuanfu does.
Xu Duanyi's expression changed slightly: "Xiao Yuanfu, what are you doing?" He didn't even call him second cousin again.
After she shouted angrily, she subconsciously walked up to Xie Qingya.
This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. But before she could get in front of Xie Qingya, Xu Duanyi felt her eyes blurred, and then, they were empty again.
Looking at the suddenly empty space in front of him, Xu Duanyi was confused for a moment.
I wonder where Xie Qingya and the others went in the blink of an eye?
The ears hear the movement before the eyes.
Xu Duanyi heard Xiao Yuanfu's terrified cry from behind him: "Xie Qingya, you, you you you, what do you want to do!"
stuttering.
It was obvious that he was terrified to the extreme.
Xu Duanyi turned around and saw that Xie Qingya had brought Xiao Yuanfu to the bank of the Lotus Lake. He was now holding Xiao Yuanfu's head with one hand and grabbing his collar with the other, trying to push Xiao Yuanfu into the lake.
This scene happened too fast.
Not only was Xu Duanyi stunned, but even Xiao Yuanfu's personal servant was so shocked by the scene that he forgot to step forward to help or call for help.
He also looked ahead with a look of fear.
Xu Duanyi seemed to be better than him. At least she didn't show any fear.
Xiao Yuanfu is still talking.
"Do you know where you are now?"
"This is the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, my home! How dare you do this to me? You are so bold that you don't want to live anymore!" Xiao Yuanfu was speechless after he shouted this in fear.
It was because Xie Qingya actually pressed his head and sent him to the Lotus Lake.
"Gulu gulu gulu"
Bubbles appeared in the Lotus Lake, and all the words that Xiao Yuanfu wanted to say but couldn't were drowned out by the gurgling sounds.
Compared to Xiao Yuanfu's previous cursing and constant struggling at the moment, Xie Qingya still looked calm and composed.
He bent his knees and squatted beside the lotus lake, holding Xiao Yuanfu's head and saying, "I, your grandfather, really dared to do it. What's the matter?"
It's like teasing a dog.
After Xie Qingya finished speaking, he smiled and exerted a little strength to pull Xiao Yuanfu up, so that he would not be trapped in the water.
"Come, let me hear what you have to say, Grandpa."
After finishing speaking.
Xie Qingya pretended to be listening attentively.
"Xie Qingya, you..."
Xiao Yuanfu's anger had reached its peak at this moment, and he started swearing again.
Xiao Yuanfu had never suffered such humiliation since he was a child, so he was furious at this moment.
He is different from his brother.
When Xiao Yuanxing was just born, the Xiao family was still in exile in the north.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanxing had a hard time when he was a child, but Xiao Yuanfu was born in the second year of Jian'an, when the Xiao family had already returned to Kyoto.
Emperor Ming personally bestowed the Duke of Huguo's mansion on the Xiao family and allowed the Xiao family to inherit the title for several generations. With Xiao Yuan sitting in the harem, even the crown prince had half the blood of their Xiao family.
So hot.
Any servants of the Xiao family who were somewhat respectable would be worth more than those officials from small families if they were released, not to mention the second son of the Xiao family who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Xiao Yuanfu has had a good life since he was born.
Moreover, he was born with a clever tongue and was used to making people happy. His mother, Chang, and the old lady of the Huguogong Mansion, all liked him very much. Normally, no matter what he did, as long as his mistakes were not too outrageous, there would be people to protect him.
Normally, no one would dare to say anything to him no matter who he bullied.
Not to mention someone like Xie Qingya, who sent him into the lake as if he was going to die.
But he has a bad temper.
Compared with Xie Qingya, he is even better.
Being treated like this by Xie Qingya, Xiao Yuanfu felt that it was a great shame and humiliation. His first reaction was not to beg for mercy, but to want to kill this bastard.
He couldn't use any strength in his hands, but he kept cursing.
Either he wanted Xie Qingya to be killed, or he called him a dog, and he was still threatening him, telling him that he'd better not let him go, otherwise when he got up, he would kill Xie Qingya!
Xie Qingya listened for a while with his ears scratched, and then he sighed again: "It is true that a dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory."
"Xiao Yuanfu, you are at least the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official, how come you just spit shit as soon as you open your mouth?"
"you!"
Xiao Yuanfu glared and wanted to curse again.
However, Xie Qingya did not give him a chance this time. As soon as Xiao Yuanfu opened his mouth, Xie Qingya pressed his head again and sent him to the lake to drink water.
"Prince Nan'an, you, you let go!"
Xiao Yuanfu's personal servant finally came to his senses.
He was even more unbelievable than Xiao Yuanfu. He never thought that there was someone in the world so bold as to use violence against Er Langjun.
Especially now that they are still in the Duke's Mansion.
He mustered up his courage and tried to step forward and pull Erlang away from Xie Qingya's hands.
Otherwise, something bad might happen to Erlangjun.
But Xie Qingya just glanced at him casually without saying anything, and the boy was so frightened as if he had seen a ghost that he screamed and fell to the ground.
Xie Qingya had a strange look on his face, as if he had not expected him to be so useless.
Seeing that the boy's face turned pale as he sat on the ground and backed away under his gaze, he got up again after moving away a little, as if he wanted to inform someone and find someone to rescue Xiao Yuanfu.
Xie Qingya was too lazy to stop it.
After a quick glance, he was ready to look away.
He was not afraid of angering the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, but with Xu Duanyi here, it was not a good idea.
After all, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is her in-laws' family.
He didn't want to embarrass Xu Duanyi.
Xie Qingya thought about it and decided to let Xu Duanyi go back first, so that she wouldn't be in a difficult position later. However, before he could say anything, he heard Xu Duanyi's voice behind him.
"stop!"
Xu Duanyi called out to stop the boy.
Xie Qingya didn't know what she was going to do and looked behind him suspiciously.
I didn't forget it in my hand.
He intermittently lifted up Xiao Yuanfu to let him breathe again so that he wouldn't really die. However, he was in no mood to bother with Xiao Yuanfu at the moment. After letting him breathe again, he raised his hands and pressed him down again before Xiao Yuanfu could even open his mouth to speak.
He didn't want to hear Xiao Yuanfu barking at this moment.
Xie Qingya looked at Xu Duanyi, ready to see what she was going to do.
She was facing him sideways, and Xie Qingya could only see half of her cheek.
Soft curves.
Looks very good.
Xie Qingya originally thought that if she encountered such a thing, she would be as scared as when she was a child, with a pale face and red eyes, but... that was not the case.
on the contrary.
From Xie Qingya's perspective, Xu Duanyi was very calm.
Her expression remained the same, not seeming panicked at all, but her face looked a little colder than usual, revealing a somewhat dignified aura.
This was the first time that Xie Qingya saw Xu Duanyi like this.
At this moment, I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Princess?"
The servant was also puzzled. He didn't know why the princess called him to do so. Suddenly, he thought of the relationship between the princess and the King of Nan'an. His face changed and his voice became hesitant: "Princess, that's Erlang, your second cousin."
"If we don't stop it, something bad will happen to Jilang!"
If something happened to Erlang, he would naturally lose his life!
Thinking of this, the servant was overwhelmed with grief and immediately knelt down in front of Xu Duanyi. While kowtowed to Xu Duanyi, he asked someone to save Xiao Yuanfu.
Obviously.
He wanted to ask Xu Duanyi to save Xiao Yuanfu for the sake of their blood relationship.
But what affection does Xu Duanyi have for Xiao Yuanfu?
Normally she called him "Second Cousin" because that was the etiquette she had learned since she was a child, and she did not really regard Xiao Yuanfu as her brother.
In this world, is there a brother like Xiao Yuanfu?
She didn't care whether anything would happen to Xiao Yuanfu.
This person has been messing around for a long time. It is not a bad thing for him to learn a lesson and suffer a little.
However, these teachings should not be done by Xie Qingya. She was afraid that her aunt and grandmother would come to Xie Qingya to settle the score after knowing this.
My aunt was the one who protected Xiao Yuanfu the most, and so was my grandmother...
Thinking of these two people, Xu Duanyi felt a headache. After a moment of silence, she said to the servant, "Wait a minute."
After telling the servant a few words, Xu Duanyi looked towards Xie Qingya.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qingya was also looking at her.
When their eyes met, Xu Duanyi was slightly stunned and was slow to react. Until she saw Xiao Yuanfu's struggle becoming increasingly powerless, Xu Duanyi slightly frowned.
She walked towards the people.
"Your Highness." When he reached Xie Qingya's side, Xu Duanyi called Xie Qingya softly.
The voice is noticeably softer than before.
Xie Qingya naturally knew what she was doing. He stared at Xu Duanyi in silence for a while, and without saying anything, he suddenly exerted his strength, picked up Xiao Yuanfu, and then threw him aside as if he were throwing a rotten fish.
The servant saw Xiao Yuanfu rolling his eyes and spitting water, and he screamed and crawled over to him.
"Erlang, Erlang, are you okay?" He was crying.
Xu Duanyi also glanced in Xiao Yuanfu's direction, and seeing his dead look, she frowned again.
She was afraid that something might really happen to Xiao Yuanfu.
After all, he is still in the Duke's Mansion, and Xiao Yuanfu is the apple of his aunt's and grandmother's eye. If something really happens to Xiao Yuanfu, not to mention his aunt's and grandmother's eyes, I'm afraid even his uncle and eldest cousin will not let Xie Qingya off easily...
And my aunt...
Thinking of this, Xu Duanyi felt a little more worried.
Suddenly, a voice came to my ear——
"Don't worry, you won't die."
Xu Duanyi heard a voice coming from behind his ear.
Looking back, she saw Xie Qingya, who was originally squatting, had patted his clothes and stood up, standing behind her.
The two were very close to each other at this time. Xu Duanyi smelled the aroma of alcohol on him and became inexplicably nervous.
She lowered her eyes slightly and was about to speak when she saw Xie Qingya's robe wet by the lake water.
The hem and sleeves were wet.
"Your clothes..."
As Xu Duanyi said this, he wanted to use a handkerchief to wipe the man's face. After he stretched out his hand, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he could only hand the handkerchief to the man and said, "Your Majesty, wipe it first."
Xie Qingya glanced at her and reached out to take it.
Xu Duanyi saw that he had started to wipe, and heard Xiao Yuanfu spit out several saliva behind him, and finally he could hear his voice.
But it was intermittent and barely audible.
But if you listen carefully, you can also make out that he said the words "kill" and "die".
It was obvious that he was holding a grudge against Xie Qingya and wanted to kill him to vent his anger.
Xu Duanyi did not look at Xie Qingya behind him, but walked towards Xiao Yuanfu in silence.
Xie Qingya suddenly saw her passing by and frowned.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if to stop her from passing, but his hand was stretched out in mid-air and then dropped down again, along with a falling curtain, covering all the emotions in his eyes.
He thought.
He might have caused trouble for Xu Duanyi again today.
Although Xiao Yuanfu is a mess, they are still a family if we look at their closeness.
If Xu Duanyi was really worried.
In the future, he will take responsibility for everything and won't let her get involved.
That's what he originally thought anyway.
"How's my second cousin?"
When Xu Duanyi walked up to Xiao Yuanfu, he asked this question first.
As soon as Xiao Yuanfu saw her, his intermittent voice became coherent. He struggled to sit up, trying to grab Xu Duanyi's skirt, and shouted angrily: "Cousin, you, you killed him for me!"
"This bastard dares to do this to me, I want him dead!" Xiao Yuanfu said this with gritted teeth.
Xu Duanyi looked at Xiao Yuanfu, who was disheveled and dirty.
The water wet his hair, and his whole body was wet. There was already a large puddle of water stains on the ground.
He reached out to her again.
Xu Duanyi would naturally not let him touch her, she took a step back calmly.
He just barely pushed Xiao Yuanfu's hand away.
Xiao Yuanfu was so angry at the moment that he did not notice her actions. He just sat on the ground, staring at Xie Qingya behind Xu Duanyi and said, "Xie Qingya, you dare to treat me like this? I will not let you walk out of the Duke's Mansion today!"
He had anticipated that he would go back and find dozens of strong guards to beat Xie Qingya up severely and then throw him into the lotus lake to feed the fish.
No!
Not only that!
He even wanted to call everyone over to watch, and he wanted Xie Qingya to lose face before he could vent his anger today!
When Xie Qingya heard the shouting, he pulled his lower lip nonchalantly.
He also wanted to say a few words.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, he could no longer see Xiao Yuanfu's face.
Same reason.
Xiao Yuanfu also couldn't see Xie Qingya.
Xu Duanyi blocked his view, and Xiao Yuanfu could only see her exquisite purple dress and the beautiful patterns on her skirt.
When Xiao Yuanfu saw this, his expression paused slightly.
In addition to anger, there was also a hint of doubt on his face.
"cousin?"
Xiao Yuanfu looked up in confusion.
He was still sitting on the ground, looking up at Xu Duanyi who was looking down at him. He felt that her face was in the backlight and she looked a little cold.
This indifference——
It actually made him feel more frightened than when Xie Qingya dragged him into the lake to check the time.
My heart seemed to be pinched by invisible hands.
Xiao Yuanfu didn't know why, but his heart suddenly started beating faster. In his memory, his cousin was always gentle. When had she ever been so cold?
Did he see it wrong?
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use the strength in his hands, Xiao Yuanfu would have rubbed his eyes carefully to see if he had really seen it wrong.
But the next moment, when he heard Xu Duanyi calling him "second cousin", Xiao Yuanfu breathed a sigh of relief again.
The voice was still as gentle as usual, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Xiao Yuanfu responded while expressing his feelings in his heart.
He was wrong indeed.
How could my cousin have such an expression on her face?
My cousin is the gentlest and has the best temper.
But soon, Xiao Yuanfu's face, which had just relaxed, suddenly became stunned again.
"What did you say?"
He looked up, seemingly in disbelief, and looked at Xu Duanyi.
Not only Xiao Yuanfu couldn't believe it, but Xie Qingya too.
He thought Xu Duanyi would settle the matter peacefully or offer compensation and apology.
He had even thought that if Xu Duanyi really offered compensation and apologized, he would let her leave first. After all, it was absolutely impossible for him to see her bowing to that beast Xiao Yuanfu.
It's impossible for him either.
But he didn't expect——
At this time, it was Xie Qingya who looked at Xu Duanyi in astonishment.
"I say, second cousin, stop talking nonsense. The prince is a distinguished guest today, but you start talking about fighting and killing. How can this be acceptable?"
Xu Duanyi repeated it again in a gentle voice.
When she spoke, her expression was gentle and her tone was soft, as if she was drinking tea and chatting with friends in a teahouse, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the indifference in her gentle tone.
"Today is Baozhu's big day. My second cousin was so happy that he drank a few more cups and got drunk. He fell into the lotus lake. Fortunately, the prince passed by and saved him."
After Xu Duanyi saw Xiao Yuanfu finish speaking, he looked at the servant beside him and added: "If others ask you, just say this. Do you understand?"
The servant also looked incredulous.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn't, and looked stunned.
Xiao Yuanfu heard it clearly now, and he couldn't believe it.
He was in disbelief and furious.
As if he had just eaten a firecracker, Xiao Yuanfu looked at Xu Duanyi and shouted again: "Xu Duanyi, you are crazy!"
This was the first time he called Xu Duanyi by her name.
Xiao Yuanfu never thought that his cousin, who usually looked gentle, soft and sweet, had become like a completely different person!
Why did you fall into the lotus lake?
What was saved by the prince?
Was he hallucinating, or was Xu Duanyi really crazy? She could actually say such a confusing statement!
At this time, Xiao Yuanfu was extremely angry. How could he still have any admiration for Xu Duanyi?
I just think these two people are birds of a feather!
He has to deal with them all properly!
But when he thought about his cousin's identity, Xiao Yuanfu's face turned ugly for a moment, and finally he gritted his teeth and said to Xu Duanyi: "Cousin, I know you were deceived by Xie Qingya, the bastard, so I will just..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Duanyi.
"Just what? Didn't you hear me?" Xu Duanyi took over Xiao Yuanfu's words and continued, "Second cousin, have you forgotten that the prince is my husband?"
"How do you think I would abandon him to help you?"
Xiao Yuanfu didn't even care about Xie Qingya at this moment. He clenched his fists, stared at Xu Duanyi, and asked with an unpleasant expression, "Cousin, do you really want to go against me?"
Xu Duanyi smiled.
When she smiles, she is like autumn in August, very gentle and extremely attractive.
When Xiao Yuanfu saw her smile, the grim expression on his face froze again, and his eyes were briefly dazed.
But soon, Xu Duanyi's next words made his face change drastically.
"Second cousin, do you still remember what you wanted to do to me in the 14th year of Jian'an?" She spoke very softly, so softly that even Xie Qingya did not hear what she and Xiao Yuanfu said for a moment.
Blocked by Xu Duanyi, he could not see Xiao Yuanfu's expression at this moment.
He just saw Xu Duanyi suddenly take a few steps towards Xiao Yuanfu, and these few steps made Xie Qingya frown.
He wanted to walk over and pull Xu Duanyi away, not wanting her to have any more contact with this beast.
But the steps finally stopped where they were.
He just stared at them without blinking, as if to say that if Xiao Yuanfu really dared to make any move again, he would really send Xiao Yuanfu to feed the fish today.
"I know what you are thinking, second cousin. You just feel that what happened back then happened a long time ago and you didn't really do anything to me. You can just say that I am slandering you." Xu Duanyi saw Xiao Yuanfu's eyes flashing slightly, and said what he wanted to say before him.
How could she not see through his thoughts?
really--
After she finished speaking, Xiao Yuanfu looked shocked as if he had hit the nail on the head.
Xu Duanyi looked calm, and continued to look at Xiao Yuanfu and said slowly, "Indeed, if you tell this to your aunt and grandmother, they will naturally protect you. But what do you think will happen if I tell this to my eldest cousin?"
Xiao Yuanfu's face froze instantly.
"And my aunt."
Xu Duanyi then dropped another bombshell: "Second cousin, who do you think my aunt will help?"
Even if Xiao Yuanfu used his toes to think, he would know what the answer was. His aunt had never liked him. If she knew that he had tried to trick Xu Duanyi and bullied her in the past, she would definitely not let him off easily!
Thinking of his aunt's love for Xu Duanyi, Xiao Yuanfu was really scared now.
His face, which had already turned pale due to falling into the water, now became even paler.
But Xiao Yuanfu was unwilling to do so.
I am unwilling to endure so much injustice, not only unable to take revenge, but I am also threatened by others!
Especially this person is Xu Duanyi!
The person she was protecting was Xie Qingya, who had always been at odds with him!
He looked at Xu Duanyi and said angrily: "You are helping him like this!" This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Xu Duanyi was too lazy to even reply. She just watched Xiao Yuanfu finish what she wanted to say.
"Let's just leave today's matter alone for now." This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. "Second cousin, you don't have to feel wronged. You know what you wanted to do before. You deserve the prince's reprimand."
"I used to care about my grandmother and didn't want to argue with my second cousin, but in the future, please remember this for me." Xu Duanyi's expression became more serious, and his voice gradually became lower. "I am not those women in your backyard, nor am I someone you can hook up with casually. If it happens again, it won't be so simple."
When Xiao Yuanfu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but sparkle.
Looking at Xu Duanyi, who was inviolable in front of him, he suddenly didn't dare to look her in the eyes.
Turn away.
Xiao Yuanfu said nothing.
He originally thought that now that his cousin had married Xie Qingya, she was no longer some unattainable goddess. Moreover, it was obvious that Xie Qingya, that bastard, didn't care about his cousin at all, and he didn't even know whether the two of them had slept with each other or not.
Then I went to bed.
Xiao Yuanfu was also very confident that Xie Qingya was not as good as him in bed.
How could a married woman not need the comfort of a man?
It's the same even if it's his cousin.
He was thinking that if he said a few kind words to his cousin, after some time, wouldn't his cousin sooner or later realize how good he was?
When the time comes, no matter what he wants to do, won't it be easy?
He might not even have to say anything before his cousin comes and pesters him.
He never thought that his cousin saw everything and put on such a stern and solemn look, and actually looked more and more like his aunt.
Xiao Yuanfu has always been fearless, except for his aunt.
Looking at Xu Duanyi like this, how could he still have any thoughts about the beautiful and charming past six months?
I just feel that I am really unlucky today.
I guess he's going to get into trouble today.
He gritted his teeth secretly.
After all, he knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he didn't speak at this time.
But I was thinking in my heart.
Anyway, there is a long way to go, he will always find a way to deal with Xie Qingya, there is no need to rush at this moment.
"One more thing—"
However, Xu Duanyi didn't want to let Xiao Yuanfu go so easily. She had already seen through Xiao Yuanfu's thoughts.
She knew Xiao Yuanfu's temper and also knew that he was a vindictive person.
Today's matter is over.
But there is no guarantee that he will not deliberately target Xie Qingya in the future.
The current Nan'an Prince's Palace is naturally unable to compete with the Huguo Duke's Palace, not to mention that those people outside are always accustomed to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.
"There is something I told Baozhu earlier, and today I will also tell my second cousin."
Xiao Yuanfu didn't say anything, but looked at Xu Duanyi with a frown, looking like "what else do you want to say".
"The prince is my husband, and the Nan'an Palace is my husband's home."
"If we let today's incident pass like this, then it will be fine. But if I knew that my second cousin dared to deal with the prince or his family in private, then I would naturally not let him off lightly."
Xu Duanyi lowered his eyes a little and looked down at Xiao Yuanfu: "Second cousin, did you hear me clearly?"
My thoughts were touched again.
Xiao Yuanfu looked embarrassed and a little indignant: "Xu Duanyi, you are too nosy! Are you going to blame me for anything that happens to the Xie family in the future?"
