Chapter 172 Xie Guanlan: She will never return to the Wen family
Just like the chilly spring weather that suddenly turns warm and cold, the resentment and joy in Yu Pingping's eyes instantly froze.
She was unable to react. "Groom? What groom?"
"It's the servant who feeds and washes horses in the army." Xie Shian was afraid that she couldn't hear clearly, so he deliberately raised his voice, "Anyway, the person you marry has nothing to do with the Zhenbei Palace. You are now the daughter-in-law of the Wen family!"
Yu Pingping finally figured out the relationship between Wen Rulei and the Zhenbei Palace.
Her face flushed red, she was completely unable to accept this fact, and even more unable to accept the price she paid to achieve this goal.
She suddenly let out a short scream and pounced on Wen Rulei to scratch his face.
Wen Rulei pushed her away, his usually gentle and amiable face instantly breaking through. "Bitch! I haven't even investigated you for deliberately deceiving me yet, how dare you hit me?!"
Xie Shian rolled his eyes again and waved his hand to signal the servant to pull the two men out.
Even after they were dragged far away, everyone could still hear the quarrels and complaints between the two.
Chen Lezhi snorted, "Both of them have bad intentions. In the end, it was all for nothing. They deserve it!"
Wen Rufeng and his two siblings turned pale.
They also didn't expect that Wen Rulei would make such a joke again after the promotion banquet of the Xu Mansion Guards.
This third brother is no different from a useless person!
Wen Ruyun frowned and suddenly looked at Wen Xingluo, "Wen Xingluo, do you know you are wrong?"
Wen Xingluo laughed angrily, "What did I do wrong?"
"Ever since you left home, nothing has gone right for us." Wen Rufeng took over the conversation. "I know you're jealous of our love for Yue Yin and have neglected your feelings, so you've teamed up with outsiders to make things difficult for us. But Xingluo, you're still a daughter of the Wen family, and you share the same blood as us. I'll make the decision. You'll come home with us tonight. From now on, we'll treat you better, and you'll have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities to get the Wen family back on track."
"Responsibility?" Wen Xingluo smiled. "My elder and second brothers are so capable, always talking about being the eldest son and the pillar of the family. Yet, they can't get the Wen family back on track, and instead rely on me, their younger sister?"
"You damn girl—"
Wen Ruyun's face was hot and he was extremely angry, but Wen Rufeng held his shoulders.
Wen Rufeng's face was gloomy, and his tone was solemn, "Xingluo, it seems that you have made up your mind to go against us."
Xie Shian laughed angrily, "So what if I go against you? Ningning has her grandmother, her father, her second brother, and me behind her. Who do you have behind you?"
Xie Guanlan glanced at him.
Xie Shian was completely unaware and continued to stare at Wen Rufeng jokingly.
Wen Rufeng took a deep breath and said slowly, "You ask us, who is behind this?"
His gaze was like an iron clamp, tightly gripping the Xie family and Wen Xingluo. Then, he suddenly lifted the silk cloth in front of him, revealing what he had been holding in his hand.
When everyone looked over, they saw that it was a tablet.
On the tablet, eight large characters "The Spiritual Tablet of the Loving Father Wen Qingsong" were carefully carved.
Wen Rufeng said in a deep voice, "Seeing your father's spirit tablet, why don't you kneel down and bow?!"
Wen Ruyun and Wen Yueyin quickly knelt on the ground.
Everyone looked at each other.
Xie Shian whispered to Wen Xingluo, "Is your elder brother crazy? Those who know him would think that he was holding Wen Qingsong's tablet, while those who don't would think that he was holding the imperial sword!"
Hearing the falling stars, he chuckled.
Seeing that she was still in the mood to laugh, Wen Ruyun couldn't help but curse, "You heartless thing!"
Wen Yueyin also said, "Sister, this is father's tablet. The current emperor governs the world with filial piety. As a daughter, how can you not kneel when you see the tablet? How can you be so disrespectful?"
"You have hearts," Wen Xingluo scoffed. "I heard you were the ones who waited on my father's bedside before he died. I wonder how he died?"
After the words were spoken, the expressions on the three people's faces were a little stiff.
At the moment of stalemate, Wen Rulei suddenly rushed up again like a calf.
He suddenly pushed Wen Rufeng away and stared at Wen Xingluo with red eyes, "Xingluo, I don't want Yu Pingping or Yue Yin anymore! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I know you forced me to join the army for my own good! Now I only want you as my sister, and I will only be good to you! Will you come home with me?!"
Wen Rufeng was caught off guard, and the tablet in his hand rolled downstairs.
However, he couldn't care less at the moment and looked at Wen Xingluo nervously, expecting to hear a satisfactory answer.
Wen Xingluo stood where he was, looking at them quietly.
Xie Guanlan twisted the amulet and looked at her profile carefully.
What is Wen Ningning thinking at this moment?
He had pieced together a simple picture of her past life.
He could understand her dedication to her family and he also sympathized with her deep love for her family.
She is good to her family and she is not wrong.
She just...
The person you meet is not a human being.
After playing with the amulet for a long time, its material gradually becomes smooth and sleek like jade.
Xie Guanlan stood up slowly and stood behind Wen Xingluo.
The young man was wearing a crimson robe, a fiery leather belt, and military boots. He was the youngest commander of the Southwestern Army in hundreds of years. As he lowered his brows, a sinister and terrifying pressure suddenly appeared like a mountain, pressing down on the Pear Garden.
Everyone held their breath and everything was silent.
Outside, snow was falling, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly, surrounding the Pear Garden tightly. Then the sound died down in an orderly manner, leaving only the faint sounds of thousands of breathing mixed with the sounds of wind and snow.
This shows how strict the military discipline is.
This is Xie Guanlan's personal guard.
It was almost midnight.
Xie Guanlan will soon leave the city to lead the army in person.
At the moment of parting, his slender and bony hands carefully grasped the girl's slender shoulders and pulled her into his arms, as if a ferocious beast was taking the delicate flower into his territory.
He looked directly at the Wen brothers and sisters and said in a low voice, "She will never return to the Wen family."
Wen Rulei clenched his fists and looked at Wen Rufeng for help, "Brother?"
Wen Rufeng couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw Xie Guanlan, but he still forced himself to remain calm, "My Lord, Wen Xingluo is our biological sister. She has the blood of the Wen family flowing in her veins. She is grown up now, and there is no reason for her to stay in the palace any longer. Although you are of noble status, you can't prevent others from reuniting with their families!"
Xie Guanlan said, "Help the mountain."
Fushan understood and immediately said, "Come here!"
Countless royal guards in black armor rushed in, and the cold wind, carrying snow and hail, squeezed into the building. The originally magnificent Pear Garden was instantly filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Several sharp swords were placed on the necks of Wen Rufeng and his sister.
Xie Guanlan put on the sable fur cloak presented to him by his confidant. When he raised his eyes, a blade-like shadow fell at the corners of his eyes. His tone remained calm and unhurried. "Now, am I qualified to stop it?"
Wen Rufeng's breathing became rapid.
The cold blade was pressed tightly against his neck, freezing him so hard that he didn't even dare to turn his head.
Wen Ruyun and Wen Rulei also looked much more honest.
After a while, Wen Rufeng whispered, "There's nothing wrong with Xingluo staying in the palace. The prince loves her so much and is like her elder brother even more than I am. This is her blessing."
Xie Shian approached Wen Ruyun and said, "You, the second son of the Wen family, are the most evil-minded! Now, in front of everyone, you must promise that you will never order Ningning around again, and never mention letting Ningning return to the Wen family again!"
Wen Ruyun felt embarrassed, but had to bow his head and said unwillingly, "I promise!"
"And you!" Xie Shian stared at Wen Rulei.
Wen Rulei's eyes were red as he stared at Wen Xingluo.
He didn't understand how things had developed to this point.
After a long while, he said to Wen Xingluo aggrievedly, "Xingluo, Third Brother is upset. When Third Brother joined the army, he was injured a lot, but no one bandaged him, and no one felt sorry for him. Third Brother's clothes were torn, but no one was willing to mend them for him. Xingluo..."
