Chapter 406 Chaos Ensues, Chen Jiaying Feels Like She Wants to Die
As he got closer, Heng Wang confirmed that the person screaming inside was indeed Chen Jiaying.
He tried hard to suppress the urge to smile, then took another step forward and extended his hand.
Once this door is opened, Lao Liu's scandalous affairs will spread throughout the capital, ruining his reputation.
Before his hand even touched the door, a sudden gust of wind blew by.
The sky, which had been sunny just moments before, suddenly turned gloomy, a cold wind howled, and even a few snowflakes began to fall.
The cold, hard wind blew into his neck, making Prince Heng shiver.
The gate was blown open by the howling north wind.
"Hey, go away! Don't come any closer!"
A figure screamed and ran out, bumping right into Prince Heng who was standing in the opposite direction.
The man was fast and fierce. Although Prince Heng instinctively dodged to the side, he was still knocked off balance and fell to the ground.
The wrist hit the ground first, with a cracking sound.
The Prince of Heng's face contorted in pain the instant he was in agony.
Before he could react, another shadow darted out of the house and brushed past him.
It was furry and rubbed against his face.
"Woof woof woof!"
Heng Wang froze. What had just brushed against his face was the butt of a little spotted dog.
Did I offer my warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder?
Prince Heng felt like vomiting instantly, but his desire to embarrass Pei Yuan still prevailed.
He endured the pain and nausea as he got up and peered into the room.
The door was open, but the windows and doors were tightly shut. There was no sign of Pei Yuan.
Where's the promised scene of catching someone in the act?
Where are they?
Prince Heng turned his head to look outside.
Chen Jiaying, wearing only her undergarments and clutching her skirt, looked disheveled and frantically ran around the yard in circles.
As she ran, she cried and shouted, "Where did this dog come from? Damn it, go away, don't chase me!"
The little puppy barked loudly, but its short legs made it run incredibly fast.
Chen Jiaying was so frightened that she turned pale. With the cold wind blowing, she could barely open her eyes as the wind chased her, so she could only run around the yard with her head down.
I didn't see a group of people standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
But everyone saw him.
Especially Li Chengxuan and Zhou Jun, the moment the door was blown open, the two found that Pei Yuan was not in the room.
He was overjoyed.
Zhou Jun whispered, "Strange, what's Fugui doing here? And why is he chasing after Chen Jiaying? Maybe we should call Fugui back."
Li Chengxuan grabbed him, "No, this kind of woman harbors evil intentions and is vicious. Fugui should teach her a lesson."
After saying that, he secretly cheered for Fugui in his heart.
Well done, keep it up!
Fu Gui seemed not to hear his thoughts, and after chasing him to the pavilion, he went on strike.
It huddled in the sheltered spot under the pavilion, sticking out its tongue as it watched Chen Jiaying huddled inside.
Chen Jiaying clung tightly to the pavilion pillar, panting heavily while staring warily at the little puppy.
A man and a dog stood facing each other in silence.
Li Chengxuan clenched his fist and secretly shouted: "Fugui, go!"
As if sensing his thoughts, Fugui turned his head and glanced at Li Chengxuan.
The expression seemed to say: It's too cold, the dog doesn't want to do it anymore.
Seeing that the dog had finally stopped moving, Chen Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief, only to turn around and see so many people standing at the door.
"Ahh!"
She screamed in fright and collapsed onto the cold bluestone of the pavilion, her face deathly pale.
She couldn't understand where these people came from.
Luo Heng told her to light incense and wait in the room, and that when Prince Rui came over, he would be moved by the fragrance.
Once the two have consummated their relationship, Prince Rui will certainly not dare to make a fuss, given that today is a welcoming banquet for the Nanyue delegation.
If he acknowledges the matter, Prince Rui will inevitably have to marry her.
She waited inside for a long time, but Pei Yuan didn't appear. Instead, she only saw a little spotted dog.
The little puppy, tongue lolling out, pounced on her.
She was terrified after being bitten by a dog when she was a child, and ran away in a panic.
The thought of so many people watching her being chased by dogs with her clothes disheveled filled her with a mix of coldness, anger, shame, and rage.
She's doomed. If her father finds out she's made such a fool of herself, he'll beat her to death.
Chen Jiaying became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, and burst into tears.
Prince Heng strode over, his voice gentle and persuasive.
"Why are you here, Miss Chen? What happened? Did someone bully you?"
"Don't be afraid, I am here today. Whoever has wronged you, I will make them give you an explanation."
Chen Jiaying understood the implication in Heng Wang's words, and her face stiffened.
Now that things have come to this, we've completely lost face, so we should at least get something in return.
As long as she insists that Pei Yuan bullied him just now, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor might not disbelieve her.
Prince Heng then asked, "I came here to see my sixth brother. Someone saw him come here earlier."
"Miss Chen, have you seen the Sixth Prince?"
Chen Jiaying covered her face and cried, "Waaah, His Highness Prince Rui just came by, he..."
She's only just begun.
Li Chengxuan suddenly stood up and said, "You're lying. We just saw Prince Rui go somewhere else; he didn't enter this courtyard at all."
Chen Jiaying's face stiffened.
Prince Heng's face suddenly darkened.
"Miss Chen, don't be afraid. Speak your mind and I will stand up for you."
Chen Jiaying gritted her teeth; she didn't want to annul her engagement with Prince Rui.
“Prince Rui did come. He rushed in and started touching me inappropriately. Then this dog rushed in, and Prince Rui... he left.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a plump white goose suddenly waddled into the pavilion.
It flapped its wings and pounced on Chen Jiaying.
"Gaga, gaga gaga."
"ah!"
Chen Jiaying was so frightened that her face turned pale. She instinctively dodged backward, but ended up tumbling out of the pavilion.
It just so happened that it stepped on Fugui, a little spotted dog huddled under the pavilion seeking shelter from the wind.
Fugui jumped up and barked, "Woof woof woof!"
A big white goose flapped its wings and flew over, quacking softly.
In an instant, chaos erupted, with geese flying and dogs barking, accompanied by Chen Jiaying's screams, creating quite a scene.
Li Chengxuan laughed so hard he almost hiccuped, and exclaimed, "Chen Jiaying, you should be more honest. Even the dog and the goose can't stand your lying."
If you don't tell the truth, the dog and the goose will bite you.
Chen Jiaying's face was deathly pale and covered in tears; it was hard to tell whether it was from fright or from the cold.
Prince Heng was so angry at the farce unfolding before him that his face turned ashen.
"Where did these dogs and geese come from? Help! Arrest them right now!"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" A chubby man holding a kitchen knife rushed over and knelt down in front of Prince Heng.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. His Highness Prince Rui chopped a basket of potatoes in the kitchen and instructed me to prepare stewed goose in an iron pot for the Southern Yue delegation tonight."
"I failed to catch the goose, and it escaped, disturbing Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness; I will kill the goose immediately."
Li Chengxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Wait a minute, you just said that His Highness Prince Rui chopped a basket of potatoes in the kitchen?"
The cook nodded his chubby head and smiled憨憨地.
"Yes, Prince Rui went to the kitchen as soon as he came down from the banquet, and he specifically instructed me that the temperature would definitely drop today, which would be perfect for stewing goose in an iron pot."
"His Highness Prince Rui is such a kind person; he did everything himself, chopping potatoes for over half an hour—such a huge basketful!"
Li Chengxuan interrupted him, "His Highness Prince Rui has never left the kitchen?"
The cook shook his head. "No."
Chen Jiaying's face turned white instantly, whiter than the feathers of a white goose.
