Chapter 312 The Princess Wants to Show Off Herself 8

Xie Wu Yu watched his tearful performance and pursed his lips.

This Lu Feiyu is quite smart.

I don't know how much Mingnan heard, but he just admitted it all and didn't try to argue, lest he make people more disgusted. He used feelings to make things clear, and it seemed that every word he said was about his own selfish motives, but in fact, every word was an opportunity to reveal his true feelings.

He is so handsome, and if he shows weakness and cries, even the iron heart will be softened by him.

Xie Wuyou suddenly lost interest when he saw Mingnan didn't say anything.

No energy.

He retracted his gaze, his tone sank, "Since Your Highness needs to take care of household affairs, I will take my leave first."

As he was about to pass by Mingnan, his way was blocked by an arm.

He glanced sideways, Mingnan tilted his head and said softly, "You asked me to come, and I came, but you left me without even a sip of tea? Master Xie is a little too heartless."

Xie Wuyu frowned, "Your Highness is a noble man, how can you be so fond of this sip of coarse tea?"

"right."

Mingnan looked at him frankly.

Xie Wuyu: "..."

"Someone come here——" Mingnan shouted.

Biqing and Danzhu stepped forward immediately, "Your Highness."

Mingnan glanced at Lu Feiyu who was kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, staring at her eagerly, and said calmly:

"Lu Sifu has committed an act of subversion and has taken over the responsibility of his superiors. He is still running around with his sick body, which shows that he has become wild. In this case, he will be confined to Lanxinyuan to copy Buddhist scriptures from now on, and his salary will be deducted for one year, and his other share will be reduced by half."

Lu Feiyu's eyes widened in shock. This time he was really scared. "Your Highness——"

Mingnan raised his hand and interrupted him, "Take him away."

"yes."

Biqing and Danzhu held him up, one on each side.

Lu Feiyu still wanted to struggle, but these two maids were far from being as weak as they looked. They were both martial artists with extremely strong hands. They held his arms tightly like two iron clamps and he couldn't get away at all.

After all, they were in a restaurant, so he didn't dare to make a scene. He could only walk out obediently, looking back every few steps.

Mingnan never even glanced at him.

Before leaving, Biqing closed the door, and the private room instantly became quiet.

Xie Wuyu took a step back and distanced himself from Mingnan, narrowing his eyes slightly, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"I should ask you that."

Mingnan sat down at the table without any hesitation, glanced at the untouched tea in front of him, pushed it aside, tapped the table lightly and said, "Are you really not going to treat me to a cup of tea?"

Xie Wu Yu stared at her for a moment, pursed his lips, turned around and sat back in his original seat, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup.

"drink."

The aura seemed to be saying: I can't kill you by drinking.

Mingnan was amused by him. He took two sips of tea and smiled, "You seem very dissatisfied with me."

Xie Wuyu also smiled and said, "It is important for a person to know himself."

Mingnan nodded with conviction, "Well, I think I'm pretty good."

Xie Wuyu: “Oh.”

205: [So arrogant, hehe~]

Mingnan took two more sips of tea before putting the teacup down.

She raised her head and looked directly into Xie Wuyu's eyes, saying seriously, "I know what you are worried about. I can tell you very clearly that I have never touched those people in the backyard, including Lu Feiyu."

Xie Wuyu was startled, then looked at her with a subtle expression, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you think you can believe what I said?"

Mingnan asked back: "Why can't it be trusted?"

Without waiting for Xie Wu Yu's answer, she suddenly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a golden light suddenly shone in her eyes, attracting people's curiosity and being attracted unconsciously.

As the golden vortex slowly turned, Xie Wuyu's mind went blank. He forgot who he was and what he was doing. Suddenly, he seemed to have turned into a speck of dust between heaven and earth.

Until a clear and majestic voice came to my ears: "Thank you for being safe——"

Xie Wuyu's breath was choked, and he suddenly broke away from that state.

The scene in front of him gradually became clearer. He looked at Mingnan's golden eyes. He felt a chill on his back and his tone turned cold. "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything to you. I just used some tricks on those people in the backyard to make them think that something happened between me and them, so that they wouldn't secretly report to their master and plant spies in my backyard."

Mingnan calmly revealed the shocking secret.

Xie Wuyu was surprised, "Then Lu Feiyu..."

"I didn't use myojutsu on him, nor did I touch him. Before..."

Mingnan paused.

The original owner's previous kindness to Lu Feiyu was known to everyone in the family. If she wanted to deny it now, Xie Wuyou could just ask someone in the future and find out. That would make her appear to be hiding the truth and deceiving others, which was inappropriate.

The original owner did it, but now she is the one using the body and she cannot deny what has happened.

After thinking for a while, Mingnan said frankly: "I really like him, so I want to please him and wait until we are in love with each other before consummating the marriage."

Although Xie Wuyu was somewhat surprised after hearing this, he did not feel uncomfortable.

After all, he didn't like Mingnan, and it was none of his business whoever she liked.

He was just surprised that Mingnan would say it so bluntly.

"And now?"

Thinking of Lu Feiyu's resolute and confident look, he was actually a little curious.

Mingnan shook his head, "I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch (1)."

"When you enter the palace, I will find a chance to send them all away. After all, Lu Feiyu is a concubine who is listed in the imperial family's jade book. Unless he makes a big mistake, he cannot be easily moved. The forces behind the rest are also intertwined and cannot be driven out all at once. Give me some time."

"But I promise you, I will send them away."

Mingnan's expression was so serious that Xie Wuyu felt confused. "I don't think I have agreed to marry you yet?"

Mingnan curled his lips and smiled, but did not respond. Instead, he changed the subject.

"When I went out this morning, I saw the flowers in the yard were in full bloom. I suddenly thought of you, so I picked a bunch."

She raised her hand and took out a small bunch of pink roses from the pocket of her wide sleeves.

The branches are emerald green, the petals are pink, and they are tied with silver-white satin. The shape is very unique. The wind blowing in from the window brings a faint fragrance.

Xie Wuyu was puzzled, "What is the inevitable connection between these two things?"

Mingnan nodded slowly, "There were too many people in the palace before, so there was something I didn't say."

"What?"

Mingnan held the flowers in front of him, his eyes clear and bright, and said in a gentle voice: "Seeing Xie Lang is like seeing the beauty of spring. I want to keep spring and see you often."

What a great line: “I want to keep spring so that we can meet often.”

Xie Wuyu's heart shuddered, and his fingers couldn't help but curl up.

He speaks sweet words so easily, no wonder he attracts so many women.

But looking at someone more beautiful than flowers, he had to admit——

He was also attracted for a moment.

"Don't you want to take it? My hands are a little sore." Mingnan tilted his head and looked at him.

Xie Wuyou noticed that her hands were indeed shaking a little, and after a moment of hesitation, he took the flower into his arms.

【Xie Lang is still soft-hearted. 】

Xie Wuyu: "..."

He raised his eyes and met Mingnan's gaze, and indeed saw a sly smile in her eyes.

It turns out he was just pretending.

He immediately glared at Mingnan.

Mingnan restrained his expression and asked, "Does Xielang have a crush on someone?"

Xie Wuyu shook his head.

"Since you don't have any, why don't you marry me and give it a try? Seeing is believing. Whether life is good or bad, you have to experience it yourself to know."

Xie Wuyu raised his eyebrows, "But I don't want to be constrained."

"Neither do I."

Mingnan said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. I can make three rules with you. I need a legal husband, and you also need a wife. As a Xie family man, while you are full of glory, you must also sacrifice some things.

If you don't marry me, you will marry other princesses sooner or later. Compared with them, my face should be more pleasing to the eye, right?"

Since you have to marry anyway, at least marry the best-looking one, so you can be together every day and have a good meal together."

Xie Wuyou was amused by her words.

He held the flower and thought for a moment.

She is right.

He could only choose his future wife from among these people in the royal family. Either marry her, or there were only two options: become the concubine of the crown princess and share a wife with his brother to help him consolidate his position, or marry the daughter of another prince.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of daughters of the clan who are of marriageable age, and their looks are... hard to describe.

In comparison, Mingnan is indeed the one who suits his taste the most.

Mutual benefit is not bad. At least he can hear Mingnan's voice. It is also a kind of guarantee that he will not be easily taken advantage of.

After thinking it over, he had no reason to refuse.

He fiddled with the petals of the rose, raised his eyes and looked at Mingnan, "I can marry you, but as you said, I want three rules."
