Chapter 56 Look at you, you old man!
"Pei Anqing, you're disgusting!"
Pei Anqing slumped over, a cunning glint in his eyes, and pointed to his chest. "Me, cunning?"
"How many people in this world are not cunning?"
"Do you think Pei Yanchuan is any better?" Pei Anqing said. "He's done far more cunning things than I have."
"Jiang Wan Ning, it's your honor that I've taken a liking to you. As long as you obediently listen to me, I guarantee that the position of Princess Langya will always be yours."
Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, and a surge of heat within her made Jiang Wan Ning desperately want to get closer to Pei An Qing.
Jiang Wan Ning shook her head vigorously, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and stabbed it hard into her arm to keep herself awake.
"Hmph, don't struggle." Pei Anqing lazily sat down in the armchair, looking confident. "This medicine is very strong."
“Once you get infected, you can only…” Pei Anqing deliberately trailed off, beckoning to Jiang Wanning, “Come on.”
"You'll only embarrass yourself in public if you go out like this."
Blood flowed down her arm, and the pain brought Jiang Wan Ning back to her senses slightly.
"If there is no antidote, why are you unharmed?"
Pei Anqing tapped the coffee table lightly with his fingers, tilting his head to look at the teacup on the table, "Ningning, after today, you will belong to this young master."
"Just imagine, a woman going from being my fiancée to my stepmother and then to... that's really exciting."
"Don't worry, when we get back to the manor, I'll tell Pei Yanchuan about how you 'communicated' with me in bed."
Jiang Wan Ning turned to open the door, only to find it locked from the outside.
"Stop messing around. The more you mess with it, the more agitated your body will become," Pei Anqing said. "I spent a lot of money to find this medicine."
Jiang Wan Ning, with the hairpin hidden in her sleeve, walked towards Pei An Qing.
Pei Anqing smiled and said, "Sure enough, no matter how strong a woman is, she can't escape this medicine."
"If I had known, I would have used this scheme to take you sooner, and there wouldn't have been this unexpected turn of events on our engagement day."
As Pei Anqing spoke, he began to unbuckle his belt.
"Let me take a good look at your figure. How does it compare to Jiang Wanru's?"
Jiang Wan Ning pounced forward quickly, stabbing the hairpin fiercely into Pei An Qing's heart.
Pei Anqing assumed that Jiang Wanning's body couldn't take it and that's why she pounced on her, so he wasn't on guard at all.
"hiss--"
Before Pei Anqing could fully react, Jiang Wanning pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it into Pei Anqing's eyes.
"Look at you!" Jiang Wan Ning swore for the first time in her past and present lives.
I felt a great sense of relief from the pent-up frustration in my heart.
"ah--"
Pei Anqing shoved Jiang Wanning away as she clutched her bleeding eyes, yelling, "You bitch!"
"My eyes, ah—"
"You bitch! You bitch! You dare to gouge out my eyes!"
"Hmph!" Jiang Wan Ning scoffed coldly, "You talk too much nonsense. How about I poke your other one and see if I dare or not?"
Hearing the screams, Shen Ruzhi, who was outside, rushed over.
They were stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Get out of the way!" Shen Ruzhi kicked him.
However, he was no match for the servant's skills and was subdued by the two men.
Pei Anqing's furious roar came from inside the room, "All of you, come in here!"
The servants exchanged a glance, tied up Chen Ruzhi, and deftly opened and closed the door.
"Take control of her for me!"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Ruzhi, who was tied up to the side, and said, "Hmph, buy one get one free?"
"She gave it to both of you."
"Pei Anqing, if you dare touch Zhizhi, I'll scratch you!" Jiang Wanning said, barely holding back.
"Hmph, if I deal with you all, someone will protect me," Pei Anqing said fiercely. "Do you think I've relied on Pei Yanchuan's charity all these years?"
Pei Anqing found a handkerchief and casually tied it around her eyes to stop the bleeding.
The most important thing right now is to ruin Jiang Wan Ning's body so that she can't marry Pei Yan Chuan.
He didn't want others to benefit from this.
"Help! Someone help me!" Shen Ruzhi shouted.
"Hmph, go ahead and shout. This entire floor is reserved by me. You can shout until you're hoarse and no one will come."
Regardless of what happens next, the most important thing today is to deal with Jiang Wanning.
This was the deal I made with that person at the Spring Banquet.
Only by destroying Jiang Wan Ning can Pei Yan Chuan be completely defeated.
Only by defeating Pei Yanchuan would that person help him become the King of Langya, regardless of who sits on the throne.
"I'll hold her down for you."
Jiang Wan Ning braced herself and stabbed one of them with the hairpin.
Because of the effects of the drug, he was confused and no match for his opponent.
The two people in front of them didn't seem to be servants of the Langya Prince's Mansion, nor were they ordinary servants; rather, they seemed to have undergone rigorous training.
Shen Ruzhi was bound hand and foot, and her mouth was covered.
As Pei Anqing approached step by step, tears welled up in her eyes with anxiety.
"I'd rather die than let you succeed."
As Jiang Wan Ning spoke, she took out a black pill from her waist and swallowed it without hesitation.
"Let me tell you, I sent someone to find the Prince when I came here. Today I die, and no matter who is behind you, you will not escape."
Pei Anqing did not expect that Jiang Wanning would carry poison with her.
"Hurry up and make her vomit it up!"
He only wanted to destroy Jiang Wan Ning; he didn't intend for her to die for the time being.
Besides, if she dies, it might be difficult to handle.
Not to mention the Marquis's mansion, Grand Tutor Zhou has countless students and is respected by all the poor and needy.
If an investigation were to be launched, that person might not actually protect themselves.
Jiang Wan Ning clutched her chest, her brows furrowed tightly, black blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, before collapsing to the ground.
Pei Anqing and his two servants were stunned.
No one expected that Jiang Wan Ning would be carrying poison with her.
"Go check if it's still gassy."
Pei Anqing pointed a trembling finger at Jiang Wanning and gave the order.
One of the servants stepped forward and tentatively reached his hand to Jiang Wan Ning's neck.
"ah--"
A dart pierced the servant's palm.
Pei Yanchuan kicked the servant aside, picked up Jiang Wanning, and said, "Ningning."
Just as another servant was about to make a move, Mo Ran swiftly spun the knife around his neck.
The servant clutched his neck, his pupils dilated, and collapsed.
Pei Anqing opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.
"Your Highness."
Mo Ran called out to Pei Yanchuan, who was carrying Jiang Wan Ning and about to leave.
Pei Yanchuan turned his head and looked at the stunned Pei Anqing, "Take him to the dungeon, I will personally interrogate him."
"yes!"
Mo Ran clasped his hands behind his back, fists clenched, and bowed, showing no respect whatsoever. "Your Highness, I apologize."
Pei Yanchuan carried Jiang Wanning and rode his horse at breakneck speed all the way to the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness," Mo Qing greeted him.
"Go and call the doctor." Pei Yanchuan carried Jiang Wan Ning and hurried towards the bedroom.
"yes."
Upon seeing this, Mo Qing received orders and quickly left.
Mo Qing walked halfway before turning back in another direction to look for Yu Hai.
This guy is a good cook, so his medical skills must be pretty good too.
The main point is that he wasn't anyone's spy.
The so-called divine physician sent by the Emperor was not only to treat the Prince's illness, but also to report all the situation of the Prince's mansion to the Emperor.
