"Just say whether you are willing or not." Lu Fengyu stared at Duan Tingxuan. The seriousness in his eyes made Duan Tingxuan secretly alert, but he smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this is what you are asking. That's my wife. How can I give her to someone else? Even if it's a prince or a marquis, even if it's the emperor, if they want my woman, they can only... unless I die. Although I am a coward, I am not so cowardly that I have to give my wife away. Master, has any of the dignitaries in the capital leaked any information? But I don't think so. Although my wife is fierce, she is not a fickle woman. No one knows her."
"I was just joking with you." Lu Fengyu seemed very happy, his chopsticks raining down, while puffing his cheeks and saying vaguely: "With Madam Wang's temper, only you can stand it. If it were someone else, wouldn't they have to divorce her with a letter of divorce? You are such a coward. The husband is the leader of the wife, but you have turned it upside down and become the wife is the leader of the husband. You really bring shame to all men in the world."
Duan Tingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The reputation of all men in the world is earned by people like you, so what does it have to do with me? I just want to stay with my wife and live a peaceful life."
Lu Fengyu nodded and sighed: "Speaking of which, if I had such a wife, who cooked for me every day, I wouldn't need her to do anything else, just thinking of new recipes every day. Unfortunately, I don't have such a blessing, Liang Shou, although you are humble, you are more blessed than me."
Duan Tingxuan felt a chill rising from his heart, and his hair stood up. What was going on? Could it be that this bastard had set his sights on Nuan Nuan? No wonder he called me here alone tonight and said those words. Was he hinting that I should sell my wife for fame? Even after hearing what I said just now, he still wanted to force me to have her regardless of my wishes? Lu Fengyu, Lu Fengyu. You want to die and never have a good life, right? Do you believe that I will kill you right now?
"Since the master said it was my blessing, then it must be so."
After all, it was not the final moment to show his cards, so Duan Tingxuan could only suppress his anger and pretend to be confused and flatter Lu Fengyu. He lowered his head and took a deep breath, then he looked up and said sincerely: "Master, I understand how good you are to me and my wife. My wife and I only hope to serve you forever. Forgive me for being frank. There are not many people in the world who like food as much as you do. We can only live a good life under your guidance. I understand this very well. As long as you don't chase us away, we will stay here. If you find a fairy-like wife in the future and have children, we will serve you together."
"You clever fellow." Lu Fengyu laughed. He knew that Duan Tingxuan had rejected his proposal. Of course, he had never thought that the other party would agree. The dignified prince of Anping Marquisate actually wanted to sell his wife for fame. Even if it was just a pretense, it was a great shame. He had another purpose for letting Duan Tingxuan come tonight. But he used this incident as an excuse to dispel the other party's suspicion.
He took two more bites of food with his chopsticks. When he heard the second watch drum, he burped, stood up and said, "Today is my mother's death anniversary, so I was sad at night and didn't eat much. I finally feel full now. Well, it's late, you should go back..."
Before he could finish, he suddenly heard an anxious voice outside the door saying, "Sir, I have something important to report."
"What can't wait until dawn? Why are you running here in the middle of the night?" Lu Fengyu swayed a little, and it seemed that he was a little drunk, otherwise he shouldn't have said such words: running here in the middle of the night to report an important matter, naturally it cannot be delayed until tomorrow morning.
"It's an extremely urgent matter." The subordinate was still outside the Moon Gate. It seemed that he didn't dare to come in without orders. He only said this.
Lu Fengyu frowned, thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said to Duan Tingxuan, "Okay, you can go down. I'll come back to clean up the food on the table tomorrow." After Duan Tingxuan left, he called him in and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Duan Tingxuan pretended to walk slowly outside, trying hard to listen to the words inside, but unfortunately, the subordinate was very cautious, and might be whispering in Lu Fengyu's ear, so even with the young marquis's hearing ability, he couldn't hear a single word.
Suddenly, Lu Fengyu yelled "What?" and then he fell on the stone bench. Duan Tingxuan was startled and was about to stop and listen carefully when he saw Lu Fengyu's maids Luqi and Hongluo coming over with lanterns. He did not dare to delay any longer and stepped forward to greet them. At this time, he heard Lu Fengyu's furious roar from inside: "This bunch of trash, ruining my plan, trash, all trash..."
However, he didn't tell what happened, so Duan Tingxuan had to go back to his room. The next day, when no one was around, he told Su Nuannuan what happened last night, only to hear his wife ask, "Could Lu Fengyu have deliberately led you over to hear this news?"
Duan Tingxuan frowned and said, "If they deliberately lured me to listen to the news, it's impossible that they didn't reveal anything, right? And they also told the people around them not to go there at that time, so as not to disturb me and eavesdrop, right? So something big must have happened, but it's a pity that I didn't find out anything. As for asking me to go there alone, it was just to test my feelings."
At this point, he gnashed his teeth and said, "How dare this bastard to set his sights on you? I must tear him into pieces. No, before I tear him into pieces, I must dig out his eyes first..." Before he could finish, Su Nuannuan said, "Have you forgotten that I hate this kind of brutal killing the most? Digging out eyes and cutting the body into pieces. To be honest, although he is guilty, his crime does not warrant lingchi."
Duan Tingxuan sneered, "He gave advice to the King of Xiangyang, which is a serious crime of treason, how can he not be sentenced to death by slicing? But what you said is that killing him is too easy, well, then we can sell him to a brothel. If a gentleman like him who is so noble and proud falls into..."
At this point, he suddenly remembered that he was in front of his wife, so he chuckled and said, "Forget it, I won't pollute your ears with these words. Anyway, you just need to know that I have the means to deal with him so that he can neither live nor die."
"Actually... I didn't seem to have done anything bad, right?" Su Nuannuan hesitated. She had to admit that the saying "beauty is justice" was definitely a wise saying of her grandmother, a member of the Appearance Association.
"You forgot that he killed the dog without blinking an eye; he wanted to flatter you the first time we met; he used all means to get us here; he gave the King of Xiangyang many murderous tricks; and he was planning to attack you tonight. What's more, this is only what we saw. He was even conquered by your delicious food. It shows that countless people have suffered from his murderous hands in places we can't see..."
Duan Tingxuan listed Lu Fengyu's crimes, and before he finished, Su Nuannuan nodded firmly: "That's right, sell him to a brothel. People like him should be tortured to death."
"What does 'enpi' mean?" Duan Tingxuan looked at his wife with an embarrassed look.
"Oh, that... I'd better not say it, so as not to pollute your ears." Su Nuannuan smiled guiltily and quickly changed the subject.
