Even I don't know why I care about her answer. I obviously don't have any feelings for this woman...

Just as he frowned, Chu Weiyue spat a few times on the ground.

“Wen Chenxuan, please don’t humiliate my feelings for Wen Jingchi. I tell you, even if I die, I will be happy to die with him.

I would rather have a passionate relationship with him than live in peace with you until old age, so just give up on this idea. I will never betray him, so leave now!"

Wen Chenxuan's face turned completely black, he clenched his fists and laughed viciously.

"Chu Weiyue, you'd better remember this. You will regret what you say today!"

"Remember what I said today. I will never regret it!"

Chu Weiyue deliberately dragged out his tone, speaking the last few words very slowly and heavily.

Wen Chenxuan was so angry that he trembled all over and left in anger.

Watching Wen Chenxuan's departing back, Wen Jingchi's eyes were somewhat moved.

It felt like something poked somewhere in my heart, and there was an indescribable feeling.

It's great to have someone who treats you sincerely, and is even willing to go through ups and downs with you, without any regrets even if it leads to a terrible ending in the future.

No one would be able to remain calm, and he was no exception...

He looked at Chu Weiyue deeply and left with a complicated look.

The prayer was over soon, Chu Weiyue's body was completely healed, and Wen Jingchi took the initiative to send her back home.

At this time, the Marquis was very anxious. He had gone on a long trip a few days ago. As soon as he came back, he heard Chu Ranxin say that Chu Weiyue had not been home for half a month.

Because she didn't mention Chu Weiyue's injury, the Marquis had no idea what had happened.

So when Chu Weiyue came to the main hall, he happened to see Chu Ranxin and the Marquis standing together, talking and laughing.

The two of them turned around at the same time, and the moment they saw Chu Weiyue, the Marquis's face became extremely gloomy.

He walked over angrily, and since Wen Jingchi was there, he still bowed first, then grabbed Chu Weiyue's arm and pulled her to his side.

"Where have you been, girl? You've been missing for so many days. Tell me the truth, have you been chasing after some man again?"

Chu Ranxin beside him couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "Dad, do you even need to ask this? My sister has been missing for so long, it's impossible for her to be with the prince. The prince is such a polite person, I guess she must have gone out to play with someone."

The implication of her words was obvious: Chu Weiyue was out there having affairs with other women and was doing something unclean.

Such words made Wen Jingchi's face instantly darken to the extreme, and his murderous eyes instantly fell on Chu Ranxin.

He looked majestic in person, and now he looked a bit angry. Chu Ranxin was so scared that he instinctively took a step back.

"Chu Weiyue is your sister, so why can't she be with me? Or do you suspect that I have done something dirty with her?"

His voice was not loud, but full of majesty.

Given his identity, Chu Ranxin didn't dare to say for sure even if he had doubts.

She knew very well that defiling the prince was a serious crime and she could be beheaded at any time, so she knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. How dare I doubt your reputation..."

"Since you don't dare to doubt it, then don't gossip about it. Your sister is not at home because she has made great contributions in protecting the Queen Mother. She has been recuperating recently. She returned home and stayed overnight a few days ago. Could it be that your family didn't tell you?"

Chu Ranxin was stunned for a moment, obviously she knew about this.

She only knew that Chu Weiyue was injured, and thought it was caused by her own romantic behavior, but she didn't expect this to be the reason.

So I deliberately didn't mention this matter to my father, and only talked about Chu Weiyue's right and wrong.

The Marquis was stunned for a moment, with a bit of annoyance in his eyes, he glared at Chu Ranxin fiercely.

"Why didn't you explain clearly just now, causing me to misunderstand your sister like this."

He immediately came to Chu Weiyue's side and held her arm with concern: "Let Daddy check whether it is serious or not. Is the injury better now?"

Her tone suddenly became extremely gentle, which made Chu Weiyue feel disgusted. This was clearly an act!

"Don't worry, Daddy. He's fine now. Daddy has been away from home for so long, so even if his injuries were serious, he will surely recover."

These words were clearly a subtle mockery of the Marquis, saying that he had never really had her in his heart, otherwise he would not have believed what Chu Ranxin said right away.

The Marquis felt unhappy after being slapped in the face, but he did not show it in front of Wen Jingchi and immediately bowed to him respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to send my daughter back."

"My Lord, you are really confused. I am the one who should be thanked. Chu Weiyue saved my grandmother. How can you confuse right and wrong?"

In this case, the choked marquis didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.

Wen Jingchi set his eyes on Chu Weiyue and deliberately patted her shoulder with an ambiguous gesture.

"Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you again in a few days when I am free. Now I have some important things to do. If you have any urgent matters, please let me know immediately."

His eyes fell on the faces of the Marquis and Chu Ranxin, which was equivalent to telling them blatantly that he was now Chu Weiyue's backer, and anyone who dared to make things difficult for her would be his enemy.

As soon as Wen Jingchi left, Chu Ranxin stood up from the ground, covering his aching knee, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Father, look at my sister. She is causing trouble everywhere. What if those people take revenge on our family? It will bring us trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, a eunuch came in, carrying some gold, silver, jewelry, and the marquis' favorite small pearl.

"Isn't this Eunuch Zhang? How come you have time to come to my humble home?" Eunuch Zhang is a popular figure around the emperor.

He immediately greeted her with a smile on his face and a humble attitude.

"It's because the Emperor learned that your daughter Chu Weiyue had made great contributions in protecting the Phoenix Chariot, so he specially sent these as rewards. These are for the Empress Dowager, and these are for the Emperor. You also have a share, so accept them."

Seeing so much money, the Marquis was flattered and knelt on the ground to thank the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

As soon as Eunuch Zhang left, Chu Ranxin became even more angry. He wanted to say something, but the Marquis's face instantly turned pale.

"You are such a gossip-monger. Why didn't you tell me about your sister's injury? You are still confusing right and wrong. It's all your fault that I was scolded by the prince just now!"

Chu Ranxin felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to refute a word.

Chu Weiyue lowered her head and almost laughed out loud.

Her father is a typical double standard person. As long as his interests are not threatened, anything is fine. But once his interests are threatened, it is a mistake upon a mistake.

Chu Ranxin caused him to be scolded by Wen Jingchi, and he could not swallow this scolding.
