Chapter 229: Not Like a Man

Xie Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He is not a good person.

The bodies of the Xie family were separated from their heads and buried in piles randomly on the Western Hills outside Shangjing City.

There is no tombstone, no incense, candles or paper money.

The people who dug the hole and filled it up couldn't tell whose head was whose and whose body was whose.

His second brother's head was stuck on the flagpole, exposed to the wind and rain and eaten by birds.

He also wanted to thank his family for resting in peace.

But I can't feel at peace.

Until their great revenge is taken, the Xie family will not be able to rest in peace.

He knows.

The jailer took a quick glance and saw that Xie Yan's calm eyes were dark, like a bottomless dry well, so he dared not say anything more and waited quietly for the next instruction.

Everyone knows that Mr. Xie and his wife are guests of honor of the county magistrate, and that the county magistrate's son and Mrs. Xie's brother are close friends.

As long as he gets the upper hand, good days will be far away.

Xie Yan took a deep breath and calmed down his chaotic thoughts that were drifting further and further away.

Then, some people were hired to carry the coffin and stagger out of the city.

post house.

Gu Huai slammed his palm on the wooden table with great momentum. "He is kind!"

"Vanity!"

"I wish he was the one who killed Sun Zhiye and buried his body."

"Is Ah Chao blind? How could he be attracted to someone like Xie Yan who is hypocritical and two-faced?"

Bu Yan shuddered suddenly, looked at the dark and hidden bitterness in his own young master's eyes, and sighed for no reason.

You can escape the evil sent by heaven, but you cannot escape the evil brought upon yourself.

It was obvious that the prince had repeatedly trampled on and ignored Miss Lu's feelings. Miss Lu finally came to her senses and turned back, but the prince refused to accept it again.

Bu Yan really wanted to ask the prince if he was just eating salt and doing somersaults because he was too idle?

Gu Huai glanced at him and said nothing, "What kind of look is that?"

He lowered his head without saying anything.

What look?

Honest look.

"A look of resentment on behalf of the prince."

Gu Huai rubbed his slightly red and swollen palms and raised his eyebrows. "This prince must find a way to let Ah Chao see Xie Yan's true face, so that she can wake up to her selfishness as soon as possible and willingly be kept as a concubine by this prince."

Without saying a word, he sighed, "My Lord, Miss Lu is a stubborn person."

"Over the years, many of Miss Lu's friends have told her that you are a rare talent that can only be admired from afar and are not a good match for her, and have advised her to give up and find another good match."

"But Miss Lu is only trying to please you."

"Unless Miss Lu figures it out herself, it will be useless for anyone to persuade her."

What he meant was that this stubbornness was directed at Xie Yan.

My Lord, please stop wasting your time.

Gu Huai suddenly fell silent, with his eyes lowered. His face could not be seen clearly, but his whole body was filled with a gloomy mood.

After a moment, he frowned and remained silent, his eyes as dark as ink that could not be dissolved.

The dim sunlight shone down, entwining his body.

"Not a good match?" Gu Huai murmured word by word.

If you ask yourself honestly, in terms of talent, family background, and reputation, he is no less than any nobleman in the capital.

If he was not a good match, why didn't the Yongning Marquisate make an effort to marry him?

He and Achao are childhood sweethearts, and he is willing to give Achao some patience.

"They are just jokes that shouldn't be taken seriously."

Gu Huai sneered and looked away.

"No, I want a gold ring."

Bu Yan curled his lips and said, "Don't you think gold jewelry is vulgar?"

"Am I the prince or are you the prince?" Gu Huai raised his eyebrows.

Without saying anything, he said, "You are."

If he were the prince, he would have fulfilled his engagement and married Miss Lu long ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that the one who missed Miss Lu the most was not the Crown Prince, but the maids and servants in Qishan Courtyard.

Ever since there was a rumor that the young lady of the Yongning Marquis's mansion had a habit of beating, scolding, and killing servants when they had a disagreement, the maids and servants of the Qishan Courtyard began to pray day and night for the prince to successfully break off the engagement.

The life of a slave is already miserable, and they all hope to meet a kind and generous master who can help them live longer.

He is the Crown Prince's personal servant. Although he does not have to rely on the Crown Prince's wife for his survival, he can still empathize with her.

"Master." He hesitated as he seemed to be about to speak.

Gu Huai: "What's the matter?"

"Before you left Beijing, the Duke called me over and gave me instructions, asking me to remind you to be careful with your words and actions and to keep a low profile, and not to ignore the law and make the same mistake again and again."

"The Duke said that if you make a mistake again, he will ask His Majesty for permission to send you to the military camp, and will bring you back when you are man enough."

Gu Huai's face turned black.

What does it mean to polish him into a man and then take him back?

He doesn't look like a man at all!

Bu Yan sensed the overwhelming momentum and knelt on the ground with a thud. "My Lord, robbing a decent woman is not tolerated by the Daqian law. Once the news reaches the ears of the historian, you will be impeached to death."

Gu Huai was very upset.

Robbery?

Does he look like a robber?

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

He will not rob, he can only use intimidation, inducement, conspiracy and trickery.

No words: I am still very nervous.

After Gu Huai tried to meet Lu Mingchao by chance regardless of wind and rain and failed to reminisce about their past friendship, he became angry and decided to teach Lu Mingchao a lesson.

Just to let Lu Mingchao know that in the face of absolute power, Xie Yan, that crude hunter, is as fragile as a piece of thin paper.

"Master, please think twice."

"Lu Erlang and Chan Lianyi City Shou Zhan Ge were the champions of the debate arena. They were well-known and attracted the attention of many great scholars."

"If you're not careful, your whole body will be affected."

Gu Huai pursed his lips slightly, his brows and eyes were cold, adding to his murderous aura. "Yicheng's Shouzhan Pavilion is really a mess. It allowed Lu Yao, who doesn't even have the status of a judge, to win the championship again and again. It really brought shame to the name of Shouzhan Pavilion."

"Forget it. I will go and dampen Lu Yao's rage."

Bu Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. He grabbed Gu Huai and said, "My Lord, do you know who won Lu Erlang's first debate?"

"Chu Hanyu of the Chu family in Ningcheng, Master Mingyue."

"You once praised Master Mingyue as a leader among scholars, and said that he is on par with you in terms of knowledge and insights."

"Lu Yao was able to refute Master Mingyue speechless, then..."

Then you'd better not humiliate yourself!

If you don't say it, you will not have the courage to say it out loud.

Gu Huai paused while waving his folding fan. "Can this prince destroy Lu Yao?"

Growing up in a world of power, he had seen sinister schemes.

"no."

In just a moment, Gu Huai rejected his own idea.

He couldn't do a stupid thing like Sun Zhiye, worrying about life and death while still thinking about it.

He wants to make a marriage, not an enemy.

"Go and give Lu Yao the invitation, and tell him that I want to see him."

Having a prince of the Duke of Zhenguo as a brother-in-law is better than having a hunter as a brother-in-law, right?

When Gu Huai was preparing to stir up trouble, Princess Pingning in Shangjing City also took action.

Your Majesty summoned the Duke of Zhenguo, and the details of the Duke of Zhenguo's subsequent enforcement of the family law were kept secret and few people knew about it. But who allowed Princess Pingning to have a mother who was the eldest princess?
