Liu Chengyu waited quietly for Xia Yunxian to welcome him into the house gratefully, but unexpectedly he heard a sneer.
"You are really shameless and invincible. In the morning, you were so angry that you wanted to kill Yunxian, but now you are talking about the friendship between husband and wife!"
Her eyes were full of disgust, and the mocking expression was like a bucket of cold water poured on his face.
"Yunxian thought that the prince would have figured it out after waiting all night at Yaxiangju last time."
"Don't you think that now that things have happened, there is still a chance for you and me to get back together? That would be too naive!"
Xia Yunxian spoke clearly every word, and Liu Chengyu's face immediately turned pale.
He has never felt so embarrassed as now!
Could this arrogant bitch think that with the support of Pingnan Prince's Mansion, she could walk away from the Prince's Mansion?
"Your Majesty, please come back!" Chunxiao made a gesture of invitation with an expressionless face. Liu Chengyu finally became angry and grabbed Xia Yunxian's arm. "Who do you think you are? How dare you refuse this Crown Prince?"
He wants to kill her today, but he wants to see how she can still think of herself as noble!
Unexpectedly, at this time, a black shadow fell from the sky, and Liu Chengyu felt a sharp palm wind hitting his shoulder.
Hearing a pop, he suddenly spat out blood, and his body instantly flew out and fell hard to the ground!
In an instant, several guards with evil faces rushed into the courtyard, all guarding Xia Yunxian behind them.
Liu Chengyu wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth in horror, and saw the leading guard looking at him with an intimidating look, "We have been ordered by the old princess to come to protect the princess!"
What? !
…
The next morning, Xia Yunxian's courtyard was full of people.
I saw several burly guards standing there like door gods. Their fierce faces scared everyone in the Hou Mansion from approaching.
"Cheng Yu, what's going on? Didn't you go to coax Yunxian last night? Why were you beaten out?"
Mrs. Liu rushed to Liu Chengyu's study in horror. As soon as these words came out, Liu Chengshan's face changed.
"Why did the eldest brother go to my sister-in-law's hospital? She has suffered so much, how could the eldest brother bully her like this!"
Mrs. Liu and Liu Chengyu immediately looked at him strangely, and Liu Chengshan's eyes flashed and he quickly changed his words, "I mean, if the elder brother apologizes properly, he won't be hurt."
"Hmph, Xia Yunxian's wings have become stiff, and now he doesn't take our Marquis Mansion seriously at all!"
The man in front of him had a gloomy look on his face, and that palm almost broke his bones. He was unable to even speak at this moment.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but pat her thigh, "I told you to consummate the marriage with her quickly so that you wouldn't get into this trouble. What should we do now?"
Liu Chengyu's face froze, and the suddenly opened door made him catch Xia Yunxian's guarded gaze before he was ready.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air, and he held it in for a long time before he lowered his face and spoke.
"The old princess's condition has really improved?"
Liu Chengyu didn't think she was at fault at all. She could do more, but it would be better to do less. She had to put the entire Liu family on the fire!
But later he figured out why Xia Yunxian had to step forward to treat the old princess.
She wanted to take the credit and force him to pamper her after gaining the respect of the old princess!
Everyone knows that Prince Pingnan is filial, and as long as the old princess is willing to speak a word for him, he will naturally be able to have smooth sailing in the court from now on!
"What are you still hesitating about? When she has a child, she will put you first in everything and be obedient to you!" Just now in the study room, Mrs. Liu's encouraging voice kept echoing in her ears.
Liu Chengyu looked at Xia Yunxian's little face so close to him, his heart beating like a drum.
Under the moonlight, her delicate face seemed to be coated with a layer of dreamy soft light, which made her look even more pure and beautiful. Her pool-like eyes contained a seductive magic power that could captivate the soul with just one glance.
Looking at her slender and graceful neck and her figure like a weak willow supporting the wind, in fact, such beauty would not wrong him.
Moreover, Xia Yunxian, who used to be dismissive of him, now tried so hard to attract his attention, and his pride as a man was greatly satisfied.
Liu Chengyu unconsciously became distracted and had already forgotten about his promise to Jiang Ruyan.
For the future of the Hou Mansion, he couldn't help himself!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if you miss, Yun Xian will not drag down the Hou Mansion."
Such a reaction made Liu Chengyu a little surprised. She thought that since there was no one around, she would cry and complain to him about her grievances and force him to bow his head and apologize, so she had already prepared a lot of coaxing words.
But he didn't expect his tone to be so alienated. If it had been anyone else, he would have known each other and left long ago.
But Liu Chengyu felt more and more dry in his throat, and instead decided that this was Xia Yunxian's way of refusing to welcome him.
"You and I, there is no need to be a burden. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to visit the old princess."
couple?
Xia Yunxian only felt it was a bit ridiculous. Seeing her looking up at him, Liu Chengyu's back couldn't help but stiffen a little. He pretended to mention it casually.
"The bedding in my study was wet by Wen Yao today."
"Your Majesty, just ask your servants to clean it. There is no need to ask my opinion."
"..." Did she really not understand or was she pretending not to understand?
After trying so hard to get him to change his mind, didn't he give her a chance?
Liu Chengyu took a deep breath and added with twinkling eyes, "It's cold at night, and the charcoal fire in my study is not enough. You are the Crown Princess, so naturally you have to take care of my husband's daily life!"
Having said it so straightforwardly, she might be grinning from ear to ear with joy now, right?
Sure enough, Xia Yunxian suddenly chuckled, and at this moment, it seemed as if the stars in the sky had lost their luster.
Liu Chengyu couldn't help but stare blankly, and unexpectedly raised his hand, trying to caress the little face that he had deliberately ignored for many years...
Countless nightmare-like fragments surged in like a tidal wave, making Xia Yunxian tremble all over.
She really didn't understand that she couldn't get rid of him in her previous life, but now, she just wanted to cooperate with him as an equal.
But why after going round and round, the two of them are still so inseparable!
"Bai Yujing, I really want to kill you with my own hands. Not all women in the world have to be your playthings!"
This thought had grown in her heart countless times, and she almost lost control at this moment. He was a madman!
Feeling Xia Yunxian's strong emotions, Bai Yujing smiled even deeper.
There were so many people who wanted to kill him, and he didn't care at all about her.
"If you hate me so much, why do you need to detoxify me? Obviously as long as you return the things, I will be clean after letting Liu Chengshan go."
Yes, it's obvious that things can be cleared up, but after five years of watching him die suddenly, all the hatred will disappear.
His eyes became darker and darker, filled with complexity and cruelty that frightened Xia Yunxian. This posture made it seem like he was the one being provoked!
Xia Yunxian avoided his sight unconsciously, and whispered something after a long time.
"I saved you because I owe you."
These words were extremely weak, but she clearly remembered that after she was thrown into the woodshed by Liu Chengyu like an abandoned child, a bloody secret guard appeared in front of her without warning and handed over a handkerchief.
He said that his master Bai Yujing was already dead, and he was holding on to something like this tightly before he died.
