Chapter 239: Confrontation at the Gate
In front of Su Yue's Xingyue Pavilion, a group of servants blocked Shangguan Nanfeng. Although each of them looked afraid, they had no intention of retreating. It was obvious that they did not want Shangguan Nanfeng and the other person to enter.
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Nanxing stepped forward, as if he had not heard what Shangguan Nanfeng had said before.
"In reply to the Third Prince, the Second Miss was very angry because of the rumors outside, so she ordered us not to see anyone during this period of time."
Xiao He stepped forward, bowed slightly to Shangguan Nanxing, and answered respectfully.
"You're not going to see anyone? Then Yue'er..." Shangguan Nanxing looked worried and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a harsh voice.
"What are you all doing here?" Gu came hurriedly from a distance. Perhaps because she was walking too fast, she stopped and gasped slightly.
"My future mother-in-law, I'm here to discuss the wedding date with Yue'er." Shangguan Nanfeng saw Gu coming over and hurriedly went to greet her, deliberately shouting loudly, but his eyes seemed to accidentally glance at Shangguan Nanxing's face.
Shangguan Nanxing looked as if he wanted to be angry but was trying hard to hold it back. Then he turned around and looked at Gu with satisfaction.
"I guess the Second Prince knows about the rumors outside?" When Gu heard Shangguan Nanfeng calling her mother-in-law, impatience flashed in her eyes, but it was only a flash and no one noticed.
"Of course I heard it, but it was just an exaggeration from an outsider. I naturally don't believe it."
Shangguan Nanfeng took over the conversation naturally. He didn't care much about the rumor that Su Yue dissected Aunt Liu alive. After all, his target had always been Su Yue.
"It's OK if you don't believe it. Yue'er told me that she will leave the wedding date to me. She will listen to me in everything. You don't need to bother Yue'er."
Gu pretended to be very satisfied with Shangguan Nanfeng's words and nodded slightly.
Shangguan Nanfeng was about to say something when Li Yan next to him pulled his sleeve.
Thinking of what Li Yan said to him before coming here, Shangguan Nanfeng swallowed his previous words and changed his tone.
"That won't work, mother-in-law. I'm still worried about Yue'er, so I want to discuss the wedding date face to face."
After all, it was indeed a bit abnormal that he had been standing here for such a long time and had not seen Su Yue. Just as Li Yan said, Su Yue was not someone who could not stand rumors and it was impossible for him to lock himself up forever.
Shangguan Nanxing naturally saw Li Yan's little action. Thinking of how Yue'er had specifically asked him to pay attention to Li Yan when she left, Shangguan Nanxing's eyes darkened.
"Second Prince, you must tell me clearly that the rumors outside are just Yue'er's excuses. Is Yue'er not satisfied with this marriage and that's why she doesn't want to come out to see you?"
When Gu saw that Shangguan Nanfeng did not agree to her request, her face turned cold and her tone was full of displeasure.
When Shangguan Nanfeng heard what Gu said, his face turned unhappy.
If he is unwilling to see me because he is forced to marry me, it is understandable.
"The Second Prince personally proposed marriage, why would Miss Su be dissatisfied? Does she still think that the Second Prince is not worthy of her?"
Seeing Shangguan Nanfeng being humiliated, Li Yan spoke softly to help him out, praising Shangguan Nanfeng highly in her words.
"Yuer is naturally not as self-aware as Miss Li." Shangguan Nanxing said lightly, his tone full of contempt.
Li Yan turned around and met Shangguan Nanxing's disdainful eyes, her face froze.
Did Shangguan Nanxing know that it was him who took the initiative to ask Shangguan Nanfeng to give him the betrothal gift?
After all, for a lady like her, secretly discussing her marriage with Shangguan Nanfeng without the permission of her parents or a matchmaker was an overstep and very unethical.
However, Li Yan only cared about it for a little while and then showed that he didn't care much.
I am just a concubine's daughter. If I really listen to my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, the Li family will not be able to find a good destination for me.
Li Yan's life must be in her own hands.
This was her idea when she took a fancy to Chu Ziyi before. Now that she has hooked up with the Second Prince and is about to become his concubine, this idea has naturally not changed.
"No matter how self-conscious Yan'er is, she is not as magnanimous as the third prince." Perhaps touched by Shangguan Nanxing's provocative eyes, Li Yan even retorted sarcastically regardless.
After all, any discerning person can see that Su Yue and the Third Prince love each other. Now that Su Yue has been snatched away by the Second Prince, the Third Prince seems to be indifferent.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, she heard a "pa" sound. She felt a pain on her cheek, and when she looked again, she found that it was Gu who slapped her.
"You..." Li Yan was stunned. She really didn't expect that she would be beaten by Gu. After all, she was sure that with the Third Prince's temperament, he would not do anything to her after knowing that she was the future concubine of the Second Prince.
"You brought this kind of woman here to piss off Yue'er? She is Li Yan, right? I heard that after you betrothed Yue'er yesterday, you immediately betrothed her as well.
What’s going on? Does the Second Prince want to come here to discuss the wedding date, or does he want to bring people here to piss off Yue’er? ”
Gu was seen standing in front of Li Yan and the second prince, with a stern and angry look on her face.
"Mother-in-law..." Shangguan Nanfeng was also frightened by the slap. He brought Li Yan here to see if Su Yue was in any trouble. If something happened, with Li Yan by his side, he could quickly come up with a strategy.
He had not considered what Gu said at all, but when he thought about it, it seemed inappropriate to bring the concubine to discuss the wedding date with the principal wife.
"Shut up, Yue'er hasn't even married yet, and you're already bringing another woman here to show off, without any regard for Yue'er's feelings.
With the Second Prince's attitude, I really cannot bear to be called mother-in-law. Please go back, Second Prince. Since Yue'er's wedding date has been entrusted to me, there is no need to discuss it today. Please come over when you are ready. ”
Now that Gu had found a reason, she seized it and made a fuss about it. After all, Yue'er was no longer in the house, so she had to send them away.
"I was wrong about what happened today, but I still want to see Yue'er." Shangguan Nanfeng admitted his mistake directly, but he kept Li Yan's words in his mind. Su Yue was cunning and he would definitely be worried if he was not sure if she was still there.
After all, he had threatened Su Yue with General Gu's life to make him surrender. If it was as Li Yan said, Su Yue would have gone to the border and cured General Gu's serious injury.
Not only would the marriage fall through, but the fact that a general of a country was seriously injured was concealed and not reported, which would be enough to make her father suffer.
In this case, Su Yue's guess was correct. General Gu Qingzhi was indeed seriously injured. However, in addition to Mo Guo, Shangguan Nanfeng's people also contributed a lot.
Shangguan Nanfeng thought about this and looked towards Su Yue's door with a determined look. It seemed a little abnormal that Su Yue didn't come out even though they were arguing so loudly.
"Shangguan Nanfeng, I warn you, my patience is limited." Shangguan Nanxing looked at Shangguan Nanfeng looking at Su Yue's door, his heart paused, it seemed that he had no choice but to resort to the worst possible plan.
