Chapter 1034 Strange Tenderness

As people were talking, the Seventh Princess turned to look at the carriage.

When she saw the woman in the carriage clearly, her face suddenly turned gloomy.

The look she gave Xia Wenying was full of sharpness and hatred: "I didn't expect it to be the elder sister of the Xia family."

"Why did Sister Xia get into Brother Chu Yan's carriage? Sister Xia should pay attention to her reputation."

When she said this, she deliberately dragged out the last syllable of her words, and the meaning behind her words was obvious.

When the people heard the Seventh Princess' unfriendly tone, no one dared to speak.

Since this Miss Xia was chosen by Duke Anguo, they all knew his temper. If they were disrespectful to Miss Xia, Duke Anguo would not let them off easily.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

But the silence of the people seemed to hurt Lu Xingyan's heart even more.

Pei Chuyan's eyes flashed with anger, and he spoke in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Miss Xia's carriage broke down, and Lord Xia asked me to take Miss Xia back home. How come you say it's so dirty?"

He looked at Lu Xingyan in front of him with a sharp gaze. Although Lu Xingyan was a little scared, he didn't say much because of his friendship with Pei Chuyan.

During this process, Lu Xingwan just kept looking at Pei Chuyan in front of him, without any fluctuation on his expression.

After so many years, Pei Chuyan has indeed changed a lot, but it also seems that nothing has changed.

When facing members of the royal family, he was always neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest flattery.

Even though he was facing His Majesty's princess, he did not shrink from her identity.

This is the Pei Chuyan that I know.

Seeing that Pei Chuyan seemed a little angry, Lu Xingyan took a step forward, bowed slightly in the direction of the car and said, "Today, I have spoken without thinking, please forgive me, Sister Xia."

At this time, Xia Wenying had already gotten off the carriage with the help of her maid. Seeing the Seventh Princess like this, how could she dare to accept the princess's gift?

She hurried forward and bowed solemnly to the princess.

Seeing Xia Wenying like this, Lu Xingyan's face was full of satisfaction.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of disdain in the look she gave her.

So what if Brother Chu Yan protects me?

After all, she was a princess of the royal family. No matter how high her father's status was, he was just a minister. She could never surpass her no matter what.

Just like Pei Chuyan's marriage, as long as she said that she wanted Pei Chuyan to be her consort, then I think Xia Wenying would not dare to compete with her.

In this jealous situation, she suddenly thought of Lu Xingwan who was still standing there.

She stood at this angle and looked in the direction of Lu Xingwan, but a sense of dissatisfaction arose in her heart.

He was just a lowly commoner, but for some reason, when Lu Xingwan looked at him, he gave off an aura of nobility that radiated from within.

Seeing her like this, she became even angrier.

Lu Xingwan had no plans to leave. She originally wanted to return to the palace, but now that she met Pei Chuyan, it became much easier.

If I appeared in my mother's Qingyun Palace without any warning, my mother would be able to explain it.

But what about others?

I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to explain it then.

It would be most convenient if I could follow Pei Chuyan back to the palace.

This is a golden opportunity given by God. If I leave like this, won't I have to look for another opportunity?

When Lu Xingyan saw Pei Chuyan's gaze repeatedly directed in the direction of Lu Xingwan, he felt a little annoyed.

She stretched out her hand again, pointing it in the direction of Lu Xingwan with anger, and a bit of jealousy in her heart: "Brother Chu Yan, you must help me deal with her!"

This woman who appeared out of nowhere not only had an ordinary appearance but also behaved rather rudely. However, looking at her, Lu Xingyan felt inexplicably nervous.

When saying this, Lu Xingyan's voice was thin and sharp, and seemed to contain some crying tone.

Lu Xingwan stood there without moving at all during the whole process. She stood there with a calm expression, as if the noise around her had nothing to do with her.

Her gaze went straight through the crowd and fell on Pei Chuyan.

There was the same calmness and composure in his eyes as before.

After feeling Lu Xingwan's gaze, Pei Chuyan felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he did not look annoyed. He just lowered his head to look at Lu Xingyan who was making a fuss nearby.

He suppressed the impatience in his eyes and patiently asked Lu Xingyan what had happened.

Seeing Pei Chuyan asking, a hint of pride flashed in Lu Xingyan's eyes, and she told Pei Chuyan what had just happened with exaggeration.

"Brother Chu Yan, she clearly doesn't take our royal family seriously. You must stand up for me!" While saying this, she even wiped away her non-existent tears.

She wanted to portray herself as a weak person who was bullied by vicious women in the society.

Pei Chuyan is not that stupid. He has been with the Seventh Princess for a long time. How could he not know what kind of personality the Seventh Princess is?

Now it was obvious that she was exaggerating.

He knew that things were not as simple as Lu Xing said.

But now those standing here are all common people, so they dare not refute the meaning of the princess' words.

So he simply shook off Lu Xingyan's hand and walked towards Lu Xingwan step by step with steady steps.

Each of his steps was full of majesty and aura, and the people around him unconsciously made way for him.

Seeing Pei Chuyan's somewhat angry look, Lu Xingyan looked at his back and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Everyone in the capital knows who Pei Chuyan is.

Now that this person dares to offend me, I will not let her go.

Even the common people nearby looked towards Lu Xingwan with some worry.

The people in the capital all know Pei Chuyan's temper.

Although he has always been kind to the people of the capital, in reality, Duke Anguo is a really cold person.

Today, Lu Xingwan happened to offend the Seventh Princess again.

Even if Pei Chuyan is upright, he may not stand on Lu Xingwan's side.

Only when he walked in front of Lu Xingwan did Pei Chuyan raise his head slightly and look at Lu Xingwan.

When everyone thought he was going to get angry, the next moment, his tone became unusually gentle, completely different from his attitude towards the Seventh Princess just now.

"But is it as the Seventh Princess said?"

Pei Chuyan didn't know why, but during the conversation with Lu Xingwan, his voice seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, making him speak subconsciously softer.

He didn't even realize that there was a hint of concern in his tone.
