Xie Xuan knew very well that Yun Chuwei was doing this to prevent him from asking further questions.
But he still couldn't control himself and let himself sink into depravity.
Her fragrance overwhelmed him, consuming him and rendering him incapable of thinking.
Even after Yun Chuwei's lips left his, he was still somewhat unable to extricate himself.
He pulled her closer and called her name in a low voice, "Weiwei!"
Yun Chuwei adjusted herself into a comfortable position in his arms and said, "Xie Xuan, I'm sleepy."
After saying that, she leaned against him and closed her eyes.
Xie Xuan: ...
Just as he was about to say something, he noticed a soft, long breath coming from inside his arms.
Clearly, the person who caused the trouble was already asleep.
Xie Xuan sighed helplessly, picked up the person, and placed him on the bed.
Looking at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed, Xie Xuan felt much better.
He reached out and ran his hand across her delicate nose, then down to her soft lips.
He couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss her fragrant lips.
-
On the day of Grandma Yun's birthday, many people came to wish her a happy birthday.
His Majesty also sent many gifts.
Grandma Yun's yard was practically overflowing with gifts.
Yun Chuwei and the others naturally presented birthday gifts, and the old lady's face was full of smiles when she received them.
She was especially overjoyed when she received the longevity pendant that Yun Chuwei had personally carved.
Yun Chuwei knew that the old lady didn't really like the gifts; she clearly liked her grandchildren.
When they took their seats, the old lady pulled Yun Chuwei to sit next to her, and then invited Xie Xuan to sit next to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei did not refuse.
Xie Xuan didn't say anything, but simply sat down next to Yun Chuwei.
Just as everyone was toasting and drinking, the butler rushed in looking flustered.
He stood outside the main hall, frequently glancing inside.
Seeing this, He Ning said to the old lady, "I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the butler.
Yun Chuwei knew that the steward was a steady person, and his current panicked state clearly indicated that something serious had happened.
So she said to the old lady, "Grandmother, judging from this situation, it's probably no small matter. I'll go and take a look too."
The old lady nodded.
Yun Zheng and Yun Mo both wanted to go, but Yun Chuwei stopped them.
Finally, Xie Xuan and Yun Chuwei went to find He Ning, while Yun Zheng and Yun Mo stayed behind to appease the guests.
He Ning led the butler to a side hall before asking him what had happened.
The butler was about to speak when he saw Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan walk in, and hesitated to speak.
Seeing that it was Yun Chuwei and her companion, He Ning said, "Just say it directly. The young lady and her future son-in-law are not outsiders."
The butler gave a wry smile: "It's all because of this matter, it concerns the future son-in-law..."
Xie Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "What's going on?"
The steward then said, "There's a pregnant girl outside, claiming to be the future son-in-law's mistress. She's kneeling down outside, saying that the future son-in-law... wants to get rid of her and her unborn child in order to marry you! She's begging you to spare her life!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
Xie Xuan: ...
He Ning: ...
The three of them were somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.
Xie Xuan spoke first.
He reached out and grasped Yun Chuwei's hand, whispering, "Weiwei, she's talking nonsense! I have no mistress! Believe me!"
Yun Chu turned her head slightly and met Xie Xuan's panicked eyes, and couldn't help but want to tease him.
"You say it doesn't exist, but how can you prove it?"
Xie Xuan was startled. He gripped Yun Chuwei's hand tighter, his expression becoming even more flustered.
However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.
He didn't know how to prove it.
Finally, he could only lower his voice and plead almost desperately, "I've never touched any woman, I'm clean! Weiwei, please believe me, okay?"
He looked as if he were about to break.
He Ning noticed her daughter's playful nature.
She said, "You naughty girl, stop teasing Prince Xuan! Your Highness, this child is just mischievous, please don't take it to heart!"
Xie Xuan didn't speak, but stared intently at Yun Chuwei, seemingly a little aggrieved, and said, "Weiwei!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I'll trust you for now, okay? Let's go see what's going on!"
Upon hearing this, the butler immediately led the way.
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the Marquis's residence.
Sure enough, a pregnant woman was kneeling outside the Marquis's residence.
A man was standing next to her, holding an umbrella for her.
The housekeeper and He Ning went out, but Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan did not go out immediately.
The two hid behind the door, observing their surroundings discreetly.
Many people had already gathered there to watch the spectacle.
Among the crowd, many people's postures and expressions were different from those of the onlookers.
Those people looked somewhat smug, as if they were carrying a sense of accomplishment, when they saw the pregnant woman kneeling on the ground.
It seems that this result is the result of their efforts.
Xie Xuan attended the birthday banquet without bringing many guards.
However, Huo Qingjue is still there.
Upon seeing Yun Chuwei, he immediately went to her side and asked in a low voice, "This matter was clearly orchestrated by someone. How should we handle it?"
Yun Chuwei pointed out those in the crowd whose attitudes and expressions differed from the others.
He then said, "Arrest them all quietly! Be careful not to alert anyone else!"
Huo Qingjue immediately agreed and then dispatched his men.
His men were all elites of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so they quickly and secretly knocked out and took away those suspicious people.
After arresting all the suspicious individuals, Yun Chuwei finally decided to leave.
Xie Xuan wanted to go out with them, but Yun Chuwei stopped him.
"You stay here, don't go out!"
Xie Xuan held onto Yun Chuwei's hand, unwilling to let go.
Xie Xuan said, "This matter was originally aimed at me. There's no reason for you to handle it for me, is there?"
Yun Chuwei smiled at him and said, "It won't be fun if you go out! Be good, you stay here, I'll handle it!"
Xie Xuan frowned; he didn't want to stay in the room.
However, Yun Chuwei has already said so.
He had no choice but to let go.
Yun Chu smiled, reached out and pinched Xie Xuan's cheek, saying, "Be good, wait for me to come back. No matter what you see or hear, don't act impulsively! Do you understand?"
Xie Xuan could only nod.
Yun Chuwei was relieved and led Huo Qingjue outside.
The woman was already crying when she saw He Ning.
Seeing Yun Chuwei come out, she cried even harder.
She sobbed, "Young lady... please... spare my life!"
The man standing next to her also spoke up, "The reason His Highness Prince Xuan abandoned my sister is because of you. You should take responsibility!"
