Chapter 155
Although the Lin family tried their best to cover it up, the news that the Zhao family had broken off the engagement inevitably spread. Some people said that the eldest daughter of the Lin family was having an affair with the leader of the evil cult, but the specific situation was unknown.
The fifth son of the Zhao family in Qingzhou City, who was once a glorious and bright man, also fell out with his family because he wanted to abandon his fiancée for a woman from a demon sect.
This incident eventually caused a great disturbance in the city.
People didn't know the inside story of what happened, they only knew that the young master of the Zhao family was just a superficial person. In the past, Zhao Xiuyan had a great reputation in the martial arts world and was a role model for many young men and women in the martial arts world.
This man was born into a family of martial arts. He was a noble and gentle person, acted uprightly, and was a righteous person. He was often compared with the evil cult leader Yu Liuyun.
After this incident, the Zhao family's brilliant, glamorous, and noble Fifth Young Master was completely ruined. He became known for being lustful, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and ignorant.
He made himself so miserable for a demon woman. He was truly unworthy of his ancestors' teachings and the meaning of chivalry.
The most important thing for people in the underworld is their reputation. Otherwise, why would they go around doing good deeds and publicizing their reputation as a noble and upright person? Could it be that they really do it for their ideals and passions? But even if they have passions, they still have to spend money. Without the support of a master, how can they help others without restraint?
The Zhao family has a high reputation in the martial arts world. The higher they are, the more they worry about their reputation being ruined. If they are not careful, they will fall from the high platform. After being in a high position for a long time, this is probably the most intolerable thing. Now Zhao Xiuyan's reputation has been mostly ruined by a demon cult witch, and the Zhao family naturally will not agree to it.
So Zhao Xiuyan has become very busy recently. He is so busy that he has to keep busy. On the one hand, he is busy breaking off the engagement with the Lin family, and on the other hand, he has to appease the elders in the clan to prevent them from attacking Yanyan in private.
Zhao Xiuyan was not stupid. There were few truly merciful people in the martial arts world. Even he himself had personally killed many evil people. So he knew that for the elders in the family, sometimes the best way to solve a problem was the simplest one. So he sent more people to protect Yanyan in the past few days, and he also tried to appease the Zhao family.
The Lin family was almost appeased. Perhaps the Lin family themselves felt a little guilty as their daughter's broken engagement and remarried was known to others. Fortunately, Zhao Xiuyan did not make the matter public, which saved her daughter's reputation. Later, this man only said that he was at fault first, so he came to cancel the engagement. Therefore, the Lin family took advantage of the situation and canceled the marriage.
However, there was only one request, which was what Zhao Xiuyan had promised himself, that he must do his best to rescue his daughter from the evil leader of the Xuancang Sect.
Zhao Xiuyan naturally agreed to this.
After dealing with this matter, Zhao Xiuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been extremely busy these days and only had a little time late at night, when he would take time to go to the courtyard to take a look. However, every time he went there, Yanyan had already fallen asleep, and he hardly spoke to her.
Sometimes Zhao Xiuyan couldn't help but staring at Yanyan for a long time when she was sleeping. He thought to himself, this person looks so gentle even when she is asleep, with her eyelashes drooping on her eyelids, her rosy lips slightly pursed, revealing a quiet and gentle look.
She didn't even notice when he leaned over to kiss her, she slept very soundly.
Zhao Xiuyan raised his hand and carefully pushed away the long hair that covered her cheeks, and gently touched her face with his fingers. It was a bit funny to see this person sleeping soundly. She didn't even realize that her clothes were untied, revealing some of the fair and soft skin on her chest.
He was afraid that the man might catch a cold, so he reached out to help him. It was originally well-intentioned, but he noticed that the red string of the bellyband wrapped around the neck had become untied at some point.
Two thin red straps slid down to her chest as she turned over, barely covering her fair and smooth skin, which was wrapped in a thin layer of fabric. It rose and fell slightly with her breathing, vaguely revealing the secret and alluring scenery inside, like some kind of taboo that one is willing to move forward despite knowing that there is an endless abyss ahead.
Zhao Xiuyan's face turned slightly red for a moment.
His originally calm gaze froze for a moment, as if burned. He became sensitive and moved away uncomfortably. After hesitating for a moment, he could not help but turn around, take a look, and then moved away embarrassingly, with a struggle in his heart.
Finally, he couldn't help it. He pinched that small, white chin like a beautiful jade with his fingers, lowered his head and kissed it regardless. He knew that he had gone too far, but he just couldn't forget it.
The breathing in the room suddenly slowed down a lot.
The lantern on the copper stand cast a soft, dim warm light. Zhao Xiuyan kissed her for a long time. At first, the person below did not react. Later, perhaps awakened by the noise, he opened his eyes hazily and saw that it was him.
Nan Yan was immediately disgusted. How could this person like biting people like a dog? She raised her hand and slapped him, muttering, "Stop making trouble... I'm sleepy."
Zhao Xiuyan stopped talking, lowered his head, and breathed slightly panting. His warm breath sprayed on Nan Yan's neck. He smelled the fragrance on her skin and felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
His eyes revealed a sentiment of attachment, his head buried in her hair, whispering in her ear, "Yan Yan, when can I openly tease you? I want to hear you call me husband, Yan Yan, can you call me that..."
The person below was breathing evenly, obviously having fallen asleep again.
Zhao Xiuyan stroked his cheek and suddenly felt a little funny. He had been tormenting himself these past few days and couldn't sleep well at night, but she was so heartless and slept particularly soundly.
Zhao Xiuyan pinched her rosy cheeks, then he tilted his head and looked at the person on the bed all night long, and only left the courtyard at dawn.
When Nan Yan woke up, she naturally did not see Zhao Xiuyan who had already left, but she saw a brocade box placed next to the pillow. After she opened the brocade box, she saw that there was a green jade hairpin inside. The green color was translucent and shiny, elegant and not vulgar, and it matched her skin tone very well.
Nan Yan accepted the hairpin with satisfaction, and did not pursue the matter of this man disturbing her sleep in the middle of the night. However, she had not seen Zhao Xiuyan for a few days. In fact, it was obvious that he must have been very busy during this period. In addition to facing the rumors outside, he also had to withstand the pressure from the elders in the mansion. It was indeed not an easy thing for him to ignore his status and be with her, a woman from the Demon Sect. But she didn't have to worry about these things.
After Nan Yan finished washing up, she stayed alone in the yard. This courtyard was Zhao Xiuyan's private residence. Every flower and grass in the yard was according to his preferences. Looking at the elegant and graceful flowers, plants and trees around, they seemed to be particularly in line with his temperament and had quite a certain artistic conception.
But he didn't have time to play with her, so Nan Yan naturally had to find something interesting for herself. She wondered in her heart, what did this guy say to his junior brother that day? Why didn't the boy show up since he came back? It wouldn't be a good idea for her to take the initiative to look for him, after all, she was such a gentle person, and if she wasn't careful, it would easily ruin her character.
She sat in the courtyard, lost in thought, and in her hand she pulled a peony that was in full bloom in the flowerbed. She pulled the petals one by one unconsciously, and the gorgeous and dazzling peony was almost plucked out by her.
When Murong Tuo finally arrived at the courtyard, this was the scene he saw: Nan Yan was wearing an elegant green dress, her features still the same, as calm and indifferent as usual, just sitting quietly and gently in the yard.
He stared at the flowers blooming in the flowerbed in a trance. Although he was there, his mind had flown somewhere else. There seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Murong Tuo felt a little dazed for a moment, and even his bright and gorgeous eyes and brows seemed to be a little restrained.
How long has it been since he last saw this person?
I haven't spoken to her since that day.
Murong Tuo recalled what happened during this period of time. He knew that his senior brother had not had a good time recently. He was busy dealing with the rumors outside and withstanding the pressure from the clan. He had no time to care about Yanyan.
That's why he took advantage of the time when his senior brother was not paying attention to her to sneak over to see her.
In fact, he himself had a hard time during this period, because the elders in the clan asked him many details about his senior brother's affairs, and the Lin family was also now inquiring about the situation, asking him to reveal the news about Yanyan in both open and covert ways, but he perfunctorily answered them one by one.
In fact, these are nothing. What makes him most angry and irritated is that his senior brother has been secretly blocking him and not letting him get close to Yanyan. He uses the affairs of the elders in the tribe to pressure and delay him, making him extremely anxious. Therefore, he has not had any chance to find Yanyan during this period of time.
But at this moment, when he saw Yanyan, Murong Tuo realized that his desire for Yanyan and his hatred and jealousy towards his senior brother became deeper.
He simply couldn't forget Yanyan, and he couldn't bear to see Yanyan being imprisoned by his senior brother for the rest of her life.
It would be fine if she was happy, but she hasn't been happy at all these days.
In her heart, she didn't like her senior brother at all.
If that's the case, then why couldn't he snatch her away from his senior brother?
Senior Brother could ignore her will and force her away from her husband, so why couldn't he snatch her away from Senior Brother? Moreover, if it wasn't for what happened that night, Yanyan wouldn't have compromised and given herself to him.
Thinking of this, Murong Tuo's eyes darkened.
He has grown a lot in the past few days and is no longer as impulsive as usual when encountering things. He knows that it is definitely not easy to take Yanyan away and he needs to think long and hard.
However, he came here today simply to see her. He hadn't spoken to her for a long time, and he hadn't seen her smile for a long time.
Thinking of this, Murong Tuo could no longer bear it. He climbed over the wall, jumped down from the albizzia tree in the yard, flew directly in front of her, and then snatched the small flower from her hand.
When Nan Yan suddenly saw Murong Tuo falling from the sky, she was dazed for a moment. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked as if she was frightened, staring blankly at the person in front of her.
She thought to herself, this person's appearance was too timely. She had just been complaining about how bored and idle she was recently, and this person immediately showed up to entertain her.
Murong Tuo looked at her in a daze, with a silly look on her face, and suddenly he couldn't help but smile.
"Why, you are mesmerized by my charming demeanor, right? You stare at me with such an infatuated and lingering look, and you still dare to say that you have no intentions towards me?"
His brows relaxed and slightly raised, as if he had turned back into the arrogant and unrestrained Master Murong of the past. He placed one hand on the stone table in front of him and bent down as if to give her a courtesy so that she could have a good look.
After hearing this, Nan Yan finally came to her senses.
Her eyes fell on the man's thick face, and she deliberately showed an annoyed expression, then reached out and snatched the flowers that were snatched from his hand back.
He turned his head and snorted, cursing with some disdain, "How shameless! I was just frightened by your big face that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I was not able to recover for a while, so I stared at you for a little longer. Who has any other intentions towards you? Don't you feel ashamed to say such things?"
Murong Tuo didn't feel angry when he saw the man's disgusted look. Instead, he smiled unconsciously. "This young master relies on this handsome face to travel the world. I am very thick-skinned. What is this thing called shame? This young master has never seen it. How about you touch it and see if you can feel it?"
As he spoke, he leaned forward with his handsome face. His eyes were like stars, shining brightly. The sharpness between his eyebrows was not as prominent as before, but this look was still particularly eye-catching.
Nan Yan stretched out her hand to push away the intimidating handsome face. Her cheeks were slightly red from anger. She raised her eyes and glared at him, saying, "If you do this again, I will be rude. Don't think I don't know that you want to take advantage of me and get slapped again, right?"
說到占便宜那事，慕容拓的臉龐瞬間也有些微紅了，他目光不自覺就落在這人嫣紅的唇上，心想他也就占過那麽一次便宜而已，那天他舔着嘴還沒回過味來呢，就被這人一巴掌扇開了，她打人專打臉，下手又狠，他長這麽大，都沒被人揍得這麽慘過。
This guy is the only one who keeps slapping him in the face.
He felt that Yanyan seemed to have returned to her old self, arguing with him and no longer looking depressed as before.
Master Murong turned his face away uncomfortably, his ears were a little red, and he snorted, "Who took advantage of you? Didn't you get that day and accidentally bit me? Don't you think about how fierce you were that day? You usually look thin and skinny, but that day, a tigress rushed up and pinned me to the ground. I didn't have the ability to resist at all, and could only lie flat and let you trample on me..."
"Besides, if you are unhappy, can't I bite you back? It's up to you where you want to bite, the face or the mouth? Or bite the tongue, I am not afraid of pain. I also drank flower tea this morning, it tastes sweet and fragrant, I guess you like it too..."
He spoke in a low voice, mumbling something, and Nan Yan didn't hear clearly. She just saw his mouth opening and closing, and his face was a little red. She turned her head and looked at him in confusion, "What are you mumbling over there alone? Are you saying bad things about me again?"
There was a look of suspicion in her eyes.
Master Murong took a deep breath, then turned around and glared at her, then cursed in a muffled voice, "Who said anything bad about you, you ignorant fool."
Nan Yan: “…”
Brat, she provoked him, why did he say she was unromantic? She was indeed romantic, but brat was blind.
Murong Tuo looked at the man with a look of disgust, and felt as if an arrow had pierced his chest for no reason, and he felt very suffocated.
Later I thought about it and decided to forget it. What did he have to do with her?
This person had finally managed to chat and laugh with him, and he didn't want to see her look so depressed again.
So Master Murong rubbed his face vigorously, adjusted his mood, turned around and gave people a very generous smile, with an attitude that a good man does not fight with a woman.
"Hey, how are you? Now that you've come to Qingzhou, do you think the people and places here are so beautiful? It's much more beautiful than the green mountaintop of your Xuancang Sect?"
Nan Yan turned away and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Murong Tuo didn't mind. He suddenly straightened up, his eyes sparkling slightly, and suggested with interest, "Can I take you out to play? You don't know yet, but I am the tyrant of Qingzhou City. There are many delicious foods and drinks in Qingzhou City that are different from those of you Xuan Cang Sect. Can I take you out to play?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan finally reacted. She turned her head and looked at the man, her eyes were watery, with a hint of smile and curiosity flashing in them.
But she suddenly thought of something, and the expression in her eyes gradually withered. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up at Murong Tuo in front of her and said, "But Senior Brother Zhao said that things outside have been a little uneasy recently, and asked me to stay in the house and not go out."
Murong Tuo's heart sank when he heard her mention her senior brother. He knew that her senior brother had been holding her back since she was a child. Although her senior brother looked casual and indifferent, he always had a strong desire to control the people and things he wanted.
The irony is that he now treats Yanyan in the same way. Does he think Yanyan is his property? Why does he control her like this?
Murong Tuo let out a breath, trying his best to calm the troubled emotions in his heart that arose from the mention of his senior brother.
Then he reached out and directly grasped Nan Yan's wrist, looked at her seriously with his dark eyes and said, "I am here, what are you afraid of? What Senior Brother said is not an imperial decree. Here, you can go wherever you want. This is not your cage, and you are not a bird in his cage. Do you still want to obey him and be controlled by him for the rest of your life?"
After listening to this, Nan Yan stared at the person blankly, as if she was unable to react.
Seeing that she was still in shock, Murong Tuo grabbed her wrist which was resting on the stool, ignored the maids and servants who were surrounding her, put his hands around her waist, and then jumped up with the person in his arms.
He stepped on the albizzia tree he had walked through to jump directly out of the courtyard wall, completely getting rid of the obstruction of the group of people behind him.
Nan Yan couldn't help but smiled as she watched the man move around with ease.
She reached out and tightly grasped his shirt on his chest. Feeling his obviously rising body temperature and rapid breathing, she couldn't help but tease him, "Murongtuo, you feel so hot. Why do you have a fever for no reason?"
Murong Tuo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He slipped and almost fell down. So he held her tighter with his hands. Finally, he said with a red face, "Shut up."
The reason he became like this was because he had never hugged a woman before, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while! When he didn't have any feelings for her before, he just felt that it was soft and comfortable for her to hug him. Now that he knows his own feelings, when he hugs his sweetheart, how can his body temperature not rise? How can his heartbeat not speed up? He is not a piece of wood.
Especially when he looks down, his sweetheart is in his arms with a smile on her face. Then he touches her soft waist, and his heart beats faster instantly, okay?
Not knowing what he was thinking about, Murong Tuo's face turned even redder and he just felt his heart burning.
It was as if something was about to burst out.
Murong Tuo was indeed familiar with the fun places in Qingzhou City. He took Nan Yan to a nearby orchard. It was now midsummer, and the grass was lush by the stream. Several wild ducks paddled through the water. The fruits in the orchard were ripe, and the juicy flesh was white and tender.
Both of them were a little greedy for a moment, then they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Finally, the greedy Master Murong climbed up the tree without hesitation. Nan Yan was under the tree directing him, "Here, here, a little bit here, this one is bigger, pick this one..."
"Oh, that's not it. Murongtuo, you almost hit me on the head, be careful."
"Did you see that? Murong Tuo, what's wrong with your eyes? I told you it's not this, can you do it?"
When Murong Tuo heard the person below calling his name, there was always an indescribable tenderness in his voice. The voice was soft and gentle, with some complaints, and he felt extremely soft in his heart.
He glanced down and responded a few times pretending to be nonchalant, "I know, I know. I didn't look carefully just now. Can't you point it out to me again?"
Murong Tuo looked at the girl who was busy and sweating, and couldn't help but smiled happily.
He thought back to how, at the beginning, this man had been quite dignified, looking at him with disdain and saying that he would never eat anything stolen. But in less than a moment his true colors were revealed, and he was now picking up all the fruits he had picked with his skirt.
Then she would raise her head and give orders with excitement, fearing that he would not hit the fruit big enough. If he hit the wrong one and didn't hit the one she liked, she would be scolded.
Really...
His true nature was exposed completely.
He knew that this woman was the same as him, greedy and playful by nature. She had always been confined in the Xuancang Sect and could not go out. Now that she came to Qingzhou, she finally let her nature go.
That's great. He likes seeing her smile like this.
The two of them ate fruits for the whole afternoon, and gave away the uneaten ones to the nearby villagers. Before leaving, Murong Tuo tied a silver coin to the fruit tree that was most severely damaged, and finally returned home with a satisfied look on his face.
On the way back, both of them felt a little unsatisfied, especially when they saw the girl next to him finally showing a long-lost smile on her face, Murong Tuo couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Seeing a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, he subconsciously reached out to remove the hair stuck to her cheeks. Originally, he had no bad intentions, but looking at her slightly rosy cheeks, he felt inexplicably itchy in his heart, especially when he looked at her rosy lips. In the end, he couldn't help but lower his head and leaned over to steal a kiss.
As a result, right after the secret kiss, before he had time to savor it, the man next to him pinched his ears. Murong Tuo's face and neck turned red immediately, he deserved it.
With such a good opportunity, can Nan Yan let him go?
If you don't teach her a lesson, do you really think she is the kind of little girl who can be bullied at will?
Nan Yan pinched the man's ears hard, her face turned a little red, as if she was covered with a thin layer of rouge, and she stared at the man in front of her with shame and anger.
"You're taking advantage of me again, you lecher."
She increased the force of her hands, causing Murong Tuo to cry out "ouch, ouch" in pain.
She deliberately said, "Be gentle, be gentle, you weren't like this before. You used to slap me, why are you pinching my ears now? I know you are a bad woman. You used to act so soft and gentle, but now you are so rough with me. You pinched my ears until they are gone."
"Touch me gently..."
Perhaps it was too obvious that this man was trying to be funny and make her happy, Nan Yan finally couldn't help herself and burst out laughing, with her eyebrows and eyes curved like a pear blossom in full bloom.
She had been deliberately keeping a straight face, but this smile made her facial expression quickly become lively, her eyes flickered, and Murong Tuo couldn't help laughing too.
Things finally returned to how they were before.
Murong Tuo thought, he didn't like to see her frowning and looking unhappy every day, he liked to see her arguing with him and being full of energy, especially when she was unforgiving and unreasonable.
It doesn't matter if you beat him up, he has a thick skin and can take it.
Nan Yan pinched his ear and pulled it hard, her warm breathing and falling slightly, and glared back at him, "Who is the one who did this? Do you still have any shame? You call yourself a hero, but you are just a little thief, a stinky fruit thief. Do you think I'm easy to bully because I don't know martial arts? I'm telling you, if you dare to do this again, I will..."
Before Nan Yan finished speaking, Murong Tuo immediately apologized honestly, "No, no, I won't dare to do it again in the future, okay? You are a magnanimous person, you don't hold grudges against the villains, can't you forgive me this time?"
He lowered his head, his face was even redder than hers. Maybe it was because he got emotional sometimes and couldn't control himself for a while. He had only kissed her twice in total, including the one just now. He was already very restrained.
Perhaps it was because the apology was made too quickly that Nan Yan, who had a lot of words to teach the man, didn't have time to say them and just stared at him.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was just right, Murong Tuo held her little hand that was pinched on her ear without knowing when, and with a little force, he held it firmly in his palm.
Nan Yan raised her eyes and glared at the man. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, the man held it tightly. She was so angry that she subconsciously called out his name, "Murong Tuo."
"Yeah, I'm here." He looked a little strange, his eyes looked a little deep, and his hand holding Nan Yan's was getting tighter and tighter.
Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable with his strange look, so she subconsciously took a step back, but was pulled back again. She felt a little depressed for a moment, "Why don't you let go? Are you bullying others by relying on your martial arts skills?"
She probably guessed what this person meant in her heart, but her face still showed that embarrassed and depressed look.
After Murong Tuo took a deep breath, he seemed to have something to say. He had been holding it in for a long time. In fact, he should have said it a long time ago. If he had said it earlier, his senior brother would not have gotten there first.
He wanted to ask her if she was willing to leave with him?
Are you willing to give him a chance?
He may have a bad temper and be impulsive, but he will change. He will take good care of her in the future, learn to grow up slowly, and become the person she likes, and then make her as happy as she is today every day. He doesn't want to care about too many things, he just wants to make her laugh every day and let her be her true self.
He may not be as thorough as his senior brother in doing things, and he is not mature enough in thinking. He is just full of courage and enthusiasm. He is not smart but very obedient. He will listen to her for the rest of his life and do whatever she asks him to do. Isn't there a nice saying that goes “the wife sings and the husband follows”? He can do it too!
All in all, he will treat her well for the rest of his life.
Just when Murong Tuo let out a sigh and was about to express all the love and joy in his heart.
"Yanyan, are you willing to follow me..."
But the words haven't been spoken yet.
Suddenly, a slightly cold voice came from the side, suddenly breaking the atmosphere between the two people, "Yan Yan, Junior Brother, so you are here."
When she heard the voice, Nan Yan's body suddenly stiffened. She turned around and saw Zhao Xiuyan standing not far away. He looked at the two of them calmly, his expression was still gentle, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that he was obviously a little unhappy, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, her face seemed to be a little tense. The fingers that were originally held in Murong Tuo's palm struggled hard twice, and finally broke free from the man's palm. Then she turned around and looked at him somewhat unnaturally.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing her like this, Zhao Xiuyan didn't get angry. Instead, he walked towards her naturally, then held her finger and said in a low voice, "I'm here to take you home."
He couldn't help but let out a gentle smile. "Don't you see what time it is now? You were bored in the yard, why didn't you send someone to tell me? I heard from the maid that you and your junior brother went out to relax, and I was a little worried, so I came directly to find you. Yanyan, next time you feel bored, you can tell me directly, and I will take you out to play."
Nan Yan pursed her lips when she heard this, and a hint of hesitation flashed through her eyes, "But aren't you very busy these days?"
Zhao Xiuyan squeezed her palm and said, "I'm almost done with my work. I'll have more time to accompany you in the future. You can rest assured now, right?"
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan nodded at him, then obediently walked to his side. She seemed to have returned to her calm former and docile self.
Murong Tuo clenched his fingers unconsciously upon seeing this. He knew that if it wasn't for his senior brother, if it wasn't for him doing that to her, if it wasn't for him using that matter to control her, she would never be with him.
Zhao Xiuyan seemed not to notice his junior brother standing beside him. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the thin layer of sweat on Nan Yan's forehead. Then he smiled and said, "It seems that you had a lot of fun playing with your junior brother today."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan was about to nod and smile at him, but then she remembered how he had warned her not to go out, and the smile slowly disappeared from her lips.
The voice was muffled, "No..."
Zhao Xiuyan felt a little soft-hearted when he saw this, and couldn't help but touch her head, "Okay, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried that there are too many rumors in the city recently, and I'm afraid you will be sad after hearing them, so I'm not letting you go out."
"But it's okay as long as you have someone to protect you. Okay, get on the carriage first. I'll ask the butler to take you back. I have something to say to my junior brother, so I may not be back for a while. Remember to change your clothes when you get back. Your skirt is a little wet."
Nan Yan naturally agreed after hearing this.
He turned his head to glance at Murong Tuo beside him, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.
After Nan Yan got on the carriage, Zhao Xiuyan turned around and looked at his junior brother opposite him with a cold gaze.
Murong Tuo sneered. He and his senior brother had completely fallen out. He confronted him directly, "Why, senior brother hasn't married Yanyan yet, but you're already dreaming of controlling everything about her? You even want to control who she goes out with?"
"So what?"
His expression was indifferent at the moment, without any gentleness and restraint when facing his beloved. He raised his eyes and looked directly into the dark eyes of his junior brother, without dodging or avoiding, "Junior brother, I know what you are thinking, so I won't allow you to pester Yanyan anymore."
Murong Tuo had tried his best to remain calm, but after hearing this, he still inevitably surged with anger. He clenched his fingers tightly, his eyes suddenly darkened, and stared at him gloomily, "Who is pestering her? Aren't my thoughts also the thoughts of my senior brother? Why do you not allow me to get close to her? Is it because of your shameless actions?"
Zhao Xiuyan's eyes also turned cold, and he looked at his junior fellow apprentice with annoyance, "Because I will marry Yanyan, and Yanyan has already agreed to marry me."
He turned his head and looked at the junior brother in front of him. To be honest, they grew up together and he really regarded this junior brother as a family member. But if he didn't restrain himself and continued to treat his brother and sister-in-law with covetousness and intrusion as before, he would not be able to tolerate it no matter what, so he had issued an ultimatum at this moment.
His brows were cold and indifferent, and there was no smile on his face at the moment. "So, Junior Brother, put away those unruly little thoughts of yours. I can forgive you for making small mistakes once or twice when you were immature, but if you touch my bottom line again and again, I will really be angry."
After Zhao Xiuyan finished speaking, he was too lazy to argue with him any further, so he turned around and walked in the direction of the carriage left.
He watched his senior brother catch up with the carriage, and then watched his senior brother take Yanyan away in front of him again.
Murong Tuo could no longer bear it. He was so angry that he kicked a small tree beside the road and broke it. His face was as gloomy as water. He would not let it go just like that. How could he be the one standing by a despicable villain who relied on robbing a woman's innocence? Was it because his means were shameless enough?
