Chapter 218 I must get her!

After a busy night, Xie Zhuoning returned to the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion and took a short nap before getting up again to dress up.

Today is Xie Zhiqing's wedding day, so as her elder sister, she naturally has to attend.

When we arrived at Xie's house, many guests had already arrived.

Since Xie Heng became the prince's disciple, many families who originally had little contact with each other began to interact with each other enthusiastically.

Xie Zhuoning took a quick look and secretly kept these people in mind. He planned to have a good discussion with Mr. Murong after returning, whether to pull them back, remove them, or remain neutral.

But this is not the main purpose of today. She has to find out as soon as possible what He Jinyun is up to.

As she walked towards the backyard, a man blocked her way on the stone path beside the pond.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Xie? I heard that you are engaged to a poor scholar?"

The man spoke in a frivolous and boastful tone, with a slightly sly smile on his face. He was dressed in silk and satin, with a jade crown and jade belt on his head, but none of these could conceal his dandy air.

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyelids indifferently, "It's none of your business!"

The man laughed. "Hahaha, thank you Miss, don't be so fierce. I have good intentions. You are so beautiful, but marrying a poor scholar is like a flower stuck in cow dung. You might as well marry me. I will love you well..."

As he spoke, he closed his paper fan and was about to lift Xie Zhuoning's chin.

Today, Xie's residence is crowded with guests from both inside and outside the residence. If anyone saw this scene, they would never be able to wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

"stop!"

A voice came from the rockery, and soon after, the figure came running over.

In that split second, Xie Zhuoning grabbed the man's folding fan, pulled it, and raised his knees. In an instant, he covered his crotch and knelt down in pain.

At the same time, the people on the other side of the rockery also rushed over and shouted, "How dare you! Stop it now!"

Xie Zhuoning, who was holding up his fan and preparing to strike back, raised his head and squinted at the newcomer, "Prince?"

When Xiao Bicheng saw the scene clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

Wasn't she being molested just now?

How come the situation turned upside down in just the blink of an eye?

Xie Zhuoning glanced at the man writhing in agony on the ground, then glanced at Xiao Bicheng, "Are you two a gang?"

"No, of course not!" Xiao Bicheng quickly denied.

"So you told me to stop?"

"I...I mean, this kind of rough work can only be done by men, why should I let you do it yourself?"

Xie Zhuoning nodded, and said, "Then please, Your Highness, throw him into the water."

"Throw it into the water?" Xiao Bicheng was puzzled. "Why?"

Blinking his eyes, Xie Zhuoning said as a matter of course, "Kill him to silence him! If he makes up a story about what happened today and spreads it, wouldn't it ruin my reputation? It's better to kill him!"

The corner of Xiao Bicheng's mouth twitched.

Isn’t this too simple and crude?

The man was terrified upon hearing this and quickly begged for mercy, "Thank you, Miss, for forgiving me. I will never say anything nonsense, seriously, I swear!"

"He should be thrown into the water too." Xie Zhuoning glanced at him, revealing a hint of innocence. "He behaves frivolously when he sees a beautiful woman. It's obvious that he's not a good person. If he's not given a light punishment, he'll do it again in the future! Your Highness, what do you think?"

The reasons are so sufficient that they cannot be refuted.

Xiao Bicheng smiled awkwardly, "As it should be."

Having said that, he clapped his hands, called the guards, and really threw the man into the water.

"I can't swim, help... gurgle... help... gurgle..."

He was scolded so much that he almost sunk, and then Xiao Bicheng asked people to go and pull him up.

"So, has Sister Zhuoning calmed down?"

Xie Zhuoning's pink lips curled up, and his eyebrows curved with laughter, "Calm down? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to lower himself to perform in front of me, why should I be angry?"

Xiao Bicheng's face froze unnaturally. "What do you mean by singing opera? What does Sister Zhuo Ning mean?"

Xie Zhuoning lowered his eyes and glanced at the man who was spitting water. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "This guy is a playboy, but his father is Zong Qingbo, and Zong Qingbo is a loyal supporter of you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Moreover, it was too coincidental that Xiao Bicheng arrived just as the guy started to tease him.

This self-directed and self-acted hero-saving-a-beauty scene is such a bad show!

"Your Highness, please enjoy yourself. I have something else to do, so I will not accompany you any longer."

As they passed each other, Xie Zhuoning's eyes turned cold and his smile disappeared.

When Xiao Bicheng was exposed, he was filled with rage.

He kicked the son of Zong Qingbo, "Idiot! What a stupid idea! It's so stupid!"

"Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare my life..."

Xiao Bicheng had kicked enough and turned around to look at Xie Zhuoning's receding figure. The desire in his heart rushed out like a wild beast.

"I must get you!"

…

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what bad luck!"

Xie Zhuoning spat as he walked along, never having expected that he would run into Xiao Bicheng today.

How could a concubine's daughter's marriage deserve the visit of a prince?

It seems that my uncle has a very high status in Xiaobi City!

Because of this delay, she didn't have time to go to the backyard as she had originally planned.

The servants in front shouted loudly - the Jiang family's wedding party has arrived!

But when everyone went out to take a look, they didn't see Master Jiang Wu, but only saw a steward coming to welcome the bride.

Seeing this, Xie Heng's face darkened, "Where is the groom?"

The steward nodded and bowed, "Fifth Master has something to do and it is not convenient for him to come over, so he specifically asked me to come and pick up the bride..."

Xie Heng, who was already dissatisfied with this marriage, was so angry when he heard this that he turned around and went into the house, "Since the Jiang family has no sincerity, then today's marriage will be cancelled!"

In an instant, the scene became a mess.

"What's going on, Master Jiang Wu?"

"Yes, letting a steward come to pick up the bride, isn't this an insult to Xie Yushi?"

"I'm afraid this marriage today won't be possible!"

Xie Zhuoning was watching the excitement with interest when Xia Ju came to her side quietly.

"Miss, Master Jiang Wu has gone to Jinyutang."

His eyes flickered, and Xie Zhuoning smiled knowingly, "It seems that this was done deliberately by Master Jiang Wu to threaten He Jinyun."

Yesterday, Mr. Jiang Wu made an additional payment, requiring He Jinyun to add another 50,000 taels of cash in addition to the 64 dowries.

If she didn't give it to him, he would hold a grand wedding banquet for her to see.

Asking the steward to pick up the bride is just a little snack before dinner.

Whether the wedding banquet can go on today depends on whether He Jinyun can feed Mr. Jiang Wu.

However, she believed that He Jinyun would definitely not be without a solution.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so bold as to replace all sixty-four dowries with stones.

After stretching his arms, Xie Zhuoning said excitedly, "Xia Ju, we're going to have a good show today!"
