Because something big had happened, the two of them said goodbye and left early, which was considered to preserve the last bit of dignity for both parties.
On the way back, Tang Wan saw that Qin Xuanzhi always had a sullen face, didn't talk to her, and sat even further away from her, wishing he could be eight feet away from her.
She knew at a glance that he was angry.
Tang Wan took a piece of cake and ate it in small bites without paying any attention to him.
Qin Xuanzhi couldn't sit still anymore and gave in first: "Why don't you discuss this with me?"
"Husband, the situation is urgent. I can't do anything. You won't be angry with me, will you?" She blinked, pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Xuanzhi has already given us a step, so just go down it.
She took a few steps to his side, leaning softly in his arms, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth: "I'm sorry, but it was really an emergency, so I didn't discuss it with you."
Her voice was thin, soft and gentle. How could Qin Xuanzhi bear to be angry?
He bit her lips as if punishing her, and sighed after a long while: "It's my fault. I knew Princess Qinyang was not a good person, but I couldn't come up with a solution that would satisfy both of us and prevent you from coming to the banquet."
"It's okay, husband. I understand you. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
With just a few words, he coaxed Qin Xuanzhi into submission and put the blame on him.
She placed her delicate, boneless little hand on his chest, feeling the heart beating faster and faster under her hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
That beautiful yet cold face looked straight at him: "My dear husband, do you know that Princess Qinyang likes you?"
Qin Xuanzhi's eyes were filled with astonishment. "Why would she like me? I already have a wife. Besides, I'm just a rough guy. What's there for her to like?"
She opened her eyes wide and looked at him innocently: "With my husband's face that is more handsome than Pan An."
"Oh, you don't know. The way Princess Qinyang looked at me was as if she wanted to eat me alive."
She patted her chest in fear, looking weak.
"Madam, please don't make fun of me." He pinched her face helplessly, and the tips of her ears turned red.
Tang Wan giggled, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and she enjoyed watching his embarrassment.
..........
“Aa ...
Princess Qinyang looked at the man beside her in disbelief and pinched him like crazy: "Why are you here? Why are you on this bed!"
Prince Xiao had long been in a daze, his energy drained by her. Now he was like a fish on a chopping board, at her mercy.
He just uttered a few low "ah"s, then his eyes rolled back and he fell asleep.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang originally went to watch them prepare medicine. The court doctor said that her son had a disease in his body since he was in the womb and was already very weak. Now that he had suffered this disaster, his fertility might be lost.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although the prince was naughty, he was extremely filial to his mother.
The prince often did whatever she said, and never disobeyed her in front of others.
Every time he went to the brothel, he only dared to go secretly without telling her. He always respected his mother in his heart.
The wife of Marquis Pingyang knew this, which is why she was extremely heartbroken.
Her son is a playboy, but she doesn't want her child to be a playboy. Her outward disgust doesn't mean that she really hates her son to death.
How could she bear to do that? That was her own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy. Even if she wanted to teach him a lesson, she could only teach him herself, and it was not her turn to criticize others.
Why should I become a stepping stone in the scheme set up by others?
Seeing the princess pinching and scolding Master Xiao, Lady Pingyang Marquis no longer cared about her identity as a princess and stepped forward to slap her to the ground.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Princess Qinyang widened her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked incredulous.
She couldn't believe that her aunt, who usually loved her the most, would actually hit her.
He had even used a fatal blow. Half of her face was numb, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't even hear what was being said clearly.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang, her face flushed with anger, practically gnashing her teeth as she said, "I treat you like my own niece, and this is how you treat me?"
"I, Shen Qingyun, only have this one son. Why would you choose my child over anyone else to plot against you?"
Every word she said was piercing, almost a roar.
“I, I…”
She also knew she was in the wrong. Lady Pingyang's eyes were bloodshot: "Qinyang, your aunt thought she treated you well, why, why are you doing this?"
"But, but this was my cousin's own choice. I didn't force him to do this. How can you blame it all on me?"
After she finished speaking these words with a hint of guilt, her eyes flickered, and she was obviously trying to evade responsibility.
The Marquis of Pingyang's wife was almost laughing with anger: "Don't I know what a fool your cousin is? If it weren't for you instigating it, how could he have ended up like this?"
She stepped forward and grabbed Princess Qinyang's chin, like a lioness protecting her cubs. "Your methods are so shameful, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Qin Yang's heart started pounding rapidly after hearing what she said. His face became even more guilty, but his mouth remained hard: "Aunt, I just don't like that Tang Wan, so I want to teach her a lesson."
"Do you think I haven't seen Qin Xuanzhi's true face?" Her eyes were cold, and the hand that was pinching her was shaking slightly.
What was not said in the second half of the sentence was, do you think I don’t know how much of a lustful slut you are?
She didn't dare to go too far. Qinyang was a princess. If something happened today, not only would she die, but her son and her maternal family would also be unable to escape.
Qin Yang's thoughts were exposed, and she instantly became furious: "What do you want? This princess warns you, if you dare to touch a hair on my head, my brother the emperor will not forgive you."
"Princess, go ahead and file a complaint. Even if you file it before the Censorate, I'm in the right. Princess, if you're not afraid of losing face, I'm certainly even less afraid."
Qinyang was really scared this time. Her brother's only request to her was not to make a big deal out of it, but to make big things small and small things disappear.
Otherwise, the people from the Censorate could find any clue and impeach her completely, making her be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of her life.
"Aunt, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken advantage of my cousin. I agree to any way you want me to atone for my sins."
"You call His Majesty here, admit your guilt, and declare that my son is not responsible for you. Do you have any objection?"
Qin Yang gritted his teeth, looked at the aunt who had loved him for many years with tears in his eyes, and said bitterly: "No."
