"You told me how great Qing Luan is, so I was curious and went for a stroll at Jade Pavilion, and it turned out to be the most ironic thing," she said, not putting on any airs as she poured tea for herself and drank comfortably.
"What happened?" He hadn't expected her to talk about Qing Luan, and his heart suddenly sank. He hadn't forgotten Qing Luan's current predicament, so he nervously asked.
"Huang brought her mother-in-law and daughter to team up with Qiu Mingqi to force Qing Luan into marriage, but she rejected them," she said casually, but the excitement in her tone was undeniable, her eyes sparkling.
"What exactly happened?" Her explanation was simple, but with despicable people like Huang and Chen Yan'er involved, there was no way they would let Qing Luan off easily. Something must have happened behind the scenes, so he anxiously pressed for more details, hoping to understand everything.
"Don't be so nervous; Qing Luan is really fine," she said. Initially wanting to tease him a bit, she noticed his dark expression and sharp gaze that hinted at warning. Feeling a bit wronged, she pouted and recounted the events before clapping her hands in admiration. "Xuanyuan Rui, your judgment is really good! She's so bold and audacious; haha, she's so arrogant that it makes you want to praise her! I like her!" Such a person was exactly her type.
Qing Luan didn't need your approval, Xuanyuan Rui thought to himself while wearing a worried expression, not showing any joy over the outcome.
"What are you thinking?" She was so excited, yet he seemed displeased after hearing about Qing Luan's situation. It was quite a mood killer.
"The Young Marquis won't let this go easily," he voiced his concerns. He had been the one to inform her about Qing Luan because he trusted her. This time, he didn't hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts. " Luan'er has already torn ties with them; if the Young Marquis still wants to marry her, it's all for Jade Pavilion..."
"Yes, that Qiu Mingqi is truly disgusting," she couldn't stand it anymore and felt like kicking him to vent for Qing Luan. "He lies through his teeth! He clearly said that Qing Luan isn't worthy of him but then claims they are mutually in love... How hypocritical! He pretended to be so humble in front of the Elder Brother of the Crown Prince; it turns out it was all fake!"
Logically speaking, Qiu Mingqi should know Yun Nishang since he moved around the palace. Unfortunately, Yun Nishang didn't like people who approached her with ulterior motives, so she spent most of her time in her own palace or visiting Xuanyuan Rui and the Third Prince. She had never encountered Qiu Mingqi and didn't recognize that the young lady waiting in Jade Pavilion was the youngest princess of the emperor.
This princess had once been jokingly promised to him by the emperor.
"He has to put on an act in front of the Crown Prince; if he shows arrogance and dominance, how could the Crown Prince tolerate him?" Such things were obvious even to an idiot. Unfortunately, he overdid it and made it too apparent.
"Hmph! He's so despicable; I must tell the Elder Brother of the Crown Prince," Yun Nishang protested unhappily.
"No," Xuanyuan Rui interrupted without hesitation. "Aunt, let's hold off on this matter for now. I don't want you getting involved; if Qiu Mingqi finds out, it could be detrimental to you." She was also someone his mother worried about the most, so he had to protect her well.
"He dares!"
"This isn't about daring or not. If he plays dirty, we won't be able to defend ourselves," he recounted the incident where Qing Luan almost drank Contraceptive Poison, speaking cautiously. "There are many skilled people around Luan'er, so I'm not worried about her. But you're different. If you're not careful, he could bribe the maids around you. If something really happens, killing him a thousand times wouldn't be worth it!"
Upon hearing about Qing Luan, Yun Nishang's expression changed, fear creeping into her heart, but she stubbornly said, "Are we just going to let this go? Oh, right, he also wants to ask the Emperor for a marriage decree. If Father really agrees, then Qing Luan would have to marry him!"
This was actually her main reason for seeking him out; she had momentarily forgotten the topic when he asked.
"Damn it," a flash of murderous intent crossed his Black Eyes as he darkened his face and revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "If the Emperor really grants that marriage, I'll kill him and send him to the underworld to marry!" Killing such a person wouldn't provoke the Emperor; as long as there was a bit of misunderstanding, it could be considered an accidental killing.
"You should ask Qing Luan if she has any other thoughts. If she does and you stir things up, it could get messy!" She felt that Qing Luan wouldn't easily compromise.
She knew that after tearing ties with the Chen Family, life would be tough for her, but with her confidence, she must have some plans in mind.
"Yeah, I will," he replied. Knowing they had to meet after such a big incident while he couldn't be by her side made his heart ache. "You should head back quickly; if you're late again, you'll get nagged."
"Alright, I'll leave right away so I don't delay you from seeing Qing Luan," she muttered her dissatisfaction. Hmph, he was so practical—once he clarified the situation, he hurried her off without any courtesy.
Xuanyuan Rui didn't hold it against her and directly escorted her out of the door. After watching her get into the carriage, he turned and left the general's residence.
"Miss, what do you want to do in town?" Qin'er asked curiously as she followed behind.
The miss wasn't buying anything; she just looked at each shop without asking about prices, merely observing what they sold—leaving others puzzled.
"Just browsing," Qing Luan casually replied, not revealing her inner thoughts to Qin'er.
As she walked, suddenly two shadows blocked the path ahead, causing Qing Luan to squint her eyes and lower her head, saying irritably, "Get out of the way!" She was already in a bad mood, and if anyone dared to provoke her further, they shouldn't blame her for being rude.
"Miss," Qin'er immediately sensed something was off and quickly pulled her mistress behind her, nervously watching the people who were blocking their way.
"Miss, please don't be nervous. We mean no harm," Fu Tianlin said, feeling anxious as he finally had the chance to meet her alone. He introduced himself, "I am the Boss of Tianxiang Restaurant. My name is Fu Tianlin!"
"I am Bai Feiyang," the woman replied arrogantly. It was quite bold of her to be so rude when someone was blocking her path; if she encountered some thugs, it would be interesting to see how she would act then.
"Is there something you need?" Pushing aside Qin'er, she asked with an unfriendly expression.
Fu Tianlin was aware of her reputation; it wasn't that he didn't know, but he had chosen to ignore any potential conflict in front of her. Now that he had been stopped, he felt a bit hopeful about his purpose.
"Miss Chen, there is something I would like to ask you. May I invite you to Tianxiang Restaurant for a discussion?" His tone was sincere, and his gaze earnest, but Qing Luan directly rejected his proposal.
