Chapter 65: Is the affair about to be exposed?
Su Luo took two steps back as if to avoid suspicion, and shook her head, "Why do you say that, my lord? This is not the first time you've misunderstood me."
"It seems that the prince and I are not compatible. If you really care about your cousin...if you really like your cousin..."
When Zhou Yan heard the word "delight", his face trembled!
He suddenly panicked and gritted his teeth, "Su Luo, don't talk nonsense."
"What? The prince of Jing'an Marquisate actually loves his own cousin? Oh my God!"
There was an exclamation from the crowd!
More and more people began to talk:
"Indeed, what normal man wouldn't be able to tell who's more important, his wife or his cousin? The fact that the prince indiscriminately defended his cousin earlier gave us a clue!"
"Isn't this harming Miss Su? If you like your cousin, just marry her. Why waste Miss Su's precious time?"
An experienced old woman put it bluntly: "He probably didn't like his cousin's family background and didn't want to marry her, but he couldn't bear to give up the Su family's wealth, so he married Miss Su."
"He wants both a sweet talker and a rich lady. Does that mean he has all the good things in the world? He's dreaming!"
Hearing this, Wen Zixi tightened his fingers that were clenched around his sleeves slightly, trying hard to control his anger.
turn out to be……
So this is how she lived in the Marquis' Mansion?
In an instant, Wen Zixi felt heartbroken beyond words.
He felt guilty and regretful. If he had known that she didn't like this marriage, he would never have stood idly by.
Those unpleasant words were like slaps in the face, hitting Zhou Yan hard.
At this moment, Zhou Yan's resentment towards Li Jiaojiao reached its peak, and even the look he gave Li Jiaojiao was filled with hatred.
If she hadn't lied, if she hadn't taken advantage of his unconditional trust in her, how could he have ended up being ridiculed by others?
After all, he is the prince of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion!
"Li Jiaojiao! You disappoint me so much!" Zhou Yan roared again, then looked at everyone watching and swore to the heavens, "I, Zhou Yan, have absolutely no personal feelings for my cousin Li Jiaojiao! Not even the slightest bit of romantic attraction between a man and a woman! Stop making wild guesses!"
Compared to Zhou Yan's anger, Li Jiaojiao was even more desperate because Zhou Yan severed the affection between them in public.
Zhou Yan actually said... that he had no personal feelings for her?
Li Jiaojiao fell to the ground in a panic, pounding her chest. She was extremely heartbroken and cried miserably, asking in a tearful voice:
"Brother, Brother Yan, do you really not have any personal feelings for me? Then we used to—"
"Pa!" Zhou Yan raised his hand and subconsciously slapped Li Jiaojiao, "Shut up!"
Now he is trying hard to distance himself from the matter, but Li Jiaojiao keeps talking about the past like a madman!
If their affair were exposed, not only would Li Jiaojiao's reputation be ruined, but he would also be impeached by the censors. The imperial court attached great importance to reputation, and if his reputation was in jeopardy, his official career would probably be over.
He is young and promising, how could he be implicated in this?
He was so disappointed and heartbroken. How could Li Jiaojiao be such a person?
Not distinguishing between the important and the unimportant, and ignoring the overall situation!
Does Li Jiaojiao care about him?
If you care about him, how can you be so confused?
Li Jiaojiao covered her burning face, her eyes filled with shock: "Cousin...you hit me"
Sure enough, Zhou Yan changed his mind since marrying Su Luo!
This person who personally wiped her lochia and made postpartum soup for her after she gave birth, who was reluctant to touch her, actually hit her!
Li Jiaojiao was heartbroken, trembling pitifully and miserably, like a dog that had lost its home.
Zhou Yan looked at his palm in disbelief: "I never hit the elderly, the weak, women, or children. You are going too far..."
"What happened in the past? Why don't you talk about it?" Qin Zhengyu asked curiously.
Li Jiaojiao bit her lips hard, blood dripped from the corners of her lips, and turned her head away without saying a word!
Wen Zixi looked at Zhou Yan with cold anger. Such an ethereal person actually rushed over, grabbed Zhou Yan's collar and punched him!
"Ugh!" The scholar's fist was not hard enough, but it still made Zhou Yan bleed from the nose.
"Grand Tutor! Master Grand Tutor!" The people in the government office exclaimed!
"Oh my God! The gentle and kind-hearted Taifu actually hit someone!"
Zhou Yan subconsciously wanted to fight back: "Master! Master Wen! This is my family matter! Ugh!"
The man was punched again!
"If you dare to hit the Grand Tutor, you're done!" the Dali Temple Secretary angrily warned, "He's a First-Rank Grand Tutor, the Emperor's teacher!"
"If the princess knew that you beat him, my lord, you just wait and see!" The Dali Temple Secretary pushed Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, I'm warning you, if you don't treat Su Luo well." Wen Zixi didn't say anything else, but the threat was very strong.
Wen Zixi doesn't like factional disputes and disdains violent tactics, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it or won't take action.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his gentle eyes.
Zhou Yan's clothes were wrinkled and his collar was wide open, revealing a purple kiss mark on his collarbone, which deeply hurt Wen Zixi. Even Mo Jin, who was about to take action, was shocked.
That's a hickey.
Everyone recognized it.
Wen Zixi's hand that was about to hit him froze in mid-air, and she felt heartache and bitterness. After all, the man in front of her was her husband, the partner she had decided to spend the rest of her life with.
At that moment, Wen Zixi felt an unprecedented bitterness, a sadness he had never experienced in his life.
Mo Jin gritted his teeth slightly, there was a hint of pain in his eyes, and he looked at Su Luo with a complicated look.
The kiss mark on Zhou Yan's clavicle really stimulated him. That mark must have been left during the time of lovemaking and passion.
He couldn't imagine how her moist, cherry lips would kiss his collarbone, leaving a kiss mark like sucking almond butter...
Mo Jin narrowed his cold eyes, unwilling to stay in this dangerous place. But when he turned around, his straight and tall body showed an indescribable loneliness.
"What is this?" Suddenly, Su Luo asked loudly from behind, "Excuse me, how did the kiss mark on the prince's neck come about?"
Wen Zixi's handsome gray eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of light.
Mo Jin suddenly stopped and straightened his back.
They both looked at Su Luo.
Su Luo only heard every word and asked loudly: "The prince and I have never slept together, nor have we had any physical contact. May I ask, what is this kiss mark?"
