Marry a Villain ( 嫁反派 ) - Chapter 20

[Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Exposure]

Right Prime Minister’s Mansion, the study room.

All night, Xue Cen knelt on the cold and hard floor tiles in his robe, facing Xue Youxiang, who was sitting on the seat with frosty white temples but not dignified, still said the same sentence: “Grandfather, grandson wants to marry the second girl Yu. .”

Xue Youxiang folded his palms and leaned on the smooth red sandalwood crutches, his beard moved slightly, and he didn’t say a word.

Father Xue, who was standing by the side, asked in a deep voice, “You make it clear, which girl from the Yu family do you want to marry?”

“Miss Yu, second sister.” Xue Cen said clearly.

Father Xue couldn’t help being angry.

The two families clearly acquiesced to his marriage with Yu Xinyi, but he wanted to grab a woman from the prince and marry a second Yu girl!

“Nizi!” Father Xue raised his palm towards his son.

“Wait.” Xue Youxiang spoke, and only two words made the raised palm pause in the air.

Xue’s father was encouraged by his cheeks, and he finally retreated to his side with his hands down, bowed and said, “Yes, father.”

The old man with crutches and goose skin stood up with crutches. He was over sixty years old, but he was still tall and straight, revealing the majesty and nobility that had been soaked in the officialdom for many years. Biquge website m. biqiudu. com

He looked at his most proud grandson, and after a long time, he slowly exhaled: “It’s not impossible for you to marry the second girl of the Yu family.”

“Grandfather.” Xue Cen immediately raised his head, a look of joy flashed across his reddish eyes.

“But you have to remember that as a courtier, loyalty and righteousness must not be lost.”

Xue Youxiang looked at Xue Cen with his deep and stern eyes, and said in a hoarse voice unique to an elderly person, “If you marry her, you will owe His Royal Highness a debt.”

When grandfather said something, Xue Cen asked, “What do you mean…”

“General Yu is the head of the generals, and he holds a lot of troops, but he has never been attached to the Eastern Palace.”

After a pause, Xue Youxiang turned around and looked at the words “Zhongren Fangzheng” given by the emperor on the beam of the study, “In recent years, there has been rumors of abolishing the elders and establishing the young. After marrying the Yu family, you need to spare no effort to cooperate. Run the two families and assist the prince.”

Hearing this, Xue Cen was stunned.

He was so smart, how could he not hear that his grandfather asked him to use his marriage with Yu Lingxi to win over the prince’s camp of the Yu family station.

Everyone always thought that grandfather, as the head of civil servants, was always strict and indifferent and never participated in partisan disputes. It seems that this is not the case.

This is a well-planned marriage of interests.

No matter who the Xue family or the prince married the daughter of the Yu family, it was all to bring the power of the general’s mansion into the prince’s hands.

“Grandfather, is it the princeling party?” Xue Cen asked with difficulty.

“It can be said yes, or it can be said no.”

Xue Youxiang said, “Strictly speaking, the old man is a party that upholds the orthodoxy in the world, respecting etiquette and morality. The prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and the future emperor should be loyal to the emperor.”

“But…” Recalling Yu Lingxi’s refusal when they parted yesterday, Xue Cen clenched his fingers.

Xue Youxiang looked at the grandchild who had high hopes, and said earnestly: “Think about it, if you can do it, the old man will agree to your marriage with the second girl.”

A quarter of an hour later.

The weather has changed, and the gloomy wind brings a little coolness.

Xue Cen pushed away the attendant’s support, endured the pain in his knee, and staggered back to the room with a heavy heart.

The second sister is so filial and kind, if she knew that her marriage would affect her father and brother, and involve them in a camp that the Yu family did not approve of, she would definitely disagree with this marriage.

He also didn’t want to take advantage of others’ dangers, and he didn’t want to hide from her, but there was no other way.

There was no time for him to hesitate, it was impossible for him to give up the girl he liked and watch her marry into the East Palace.

Xue Cen only wants to be despicable once, at least…

At least the second sister and him are in love with each other. As long as they can marry her, as long as the current crisis can be solved, the rest can be discussed slowly.

Life is so long, you will always come up with a solution to both.

Thinking of this, Xue Cen’s thoughts became a little firmer, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter in a hurry, and asked Yu Lingxiyou to meet at Qinxin Pavilion at Lotus Pond in the north of the city.

After folding it and sealing it, he summoned the attendant: “Go and deliver this letter to the second Miss Yu of the General’s Mansion, hurry up!”

…

The sky was gloomy, and the wind swept the residual red from the branches.

Ning Yin had a dream.

For the first time, he did not dream of killing and blood, but a dense mist of water, and the ripples of waves smashed a pool of warm light.

He held a slender woman with black hair like a demon in his arms, and pressed her against the edge of the soup pool to kiss and ask for it.

Apricot eyes glittered, biting hard, and there was a little pitiful humming between her lips and teeth.

Soft jade-like arms wrapped around his neck, soaking wet, and he called out, “Your Highness…”

As punishment, he took a bite and licked away the blushing blood bead. His cold and dangerous voice came from the pool: “What should I call me here?”

“Wei… Wei Qi.”

With the sound of rushing water, the mist in the pool swayed like ripples, revealing a familiar, tender and beautiful face like jade.

Ning Yin woke up from a shallow dream, and Yunyou opened her eyes.

In the secret passage under the meditation room of Jinyun Temple, two ghostly candles danced in darkness.

He held his temples with his fingers bent, not quite understanding why he dreamed of Yu Lingxi, and forced her to call his ridiculous pseudonym in that way.

Spreading out his palms, he put his fingertips on his nose and sniffed lightly. The gentle and sultry daughter’s fragrance in the dream seemed to remain on his fingertips, with a soft and slippery skin…

For a moment, Ning Yin felt that reconciliation between a man and a woman might not be a dirty and unbearable thing.

In just a moment, the thought disappeared like ripples, replaced by a deeper coldness and despair.

This feeling of dryness has been surging in my heart since I heard that Yu Lingxi and Xue Cen were getting married yesterday. The harmonious picture of them kissing and loving each other under the sun gave him a headache all night.

“Your Highness, spare your life!” The woman’s desolate scream pulled his thoughts back.

Ning Yin raised his eyelids, and there was a woeful woman crawling on the dark and damp ground.

From her well-cut palace clothes, it could be vaguely discerned that she should be a high-ranking palace maid in the imperial city.

She didn’t have a single scar on her body, but she didn’t even have the strength to stand up, her pale face was covered in cold sweat, as if she had been pulled out of water.

Zheji’s left palm was wrapped in gauze, and he stood silently as if he could not see it.

Next to him, there were four or five trembling subordinates.

The maid of the palace kowtowed desperately, as if she could live longer by this, and begged: “For the sake of the servant who has served Concubine Li and His Highness for many years, please spare the servant!”

Ning Yin waited for the female traitor to kowtow, and she smiled and asked very lightly, “When Mother Qin betrayed my whereabouts to the emperor and put me to death, did you ever think about those years? mutual affection?”

“The slaves don’t dare, I really don’t dare!”

The palace maid named Qinniang never thought that Ning Yin would survive from Ning Changrui’s hands, and she would kill him all over the house.

“You can do anything?” Ning Yin hummed softly, as if weighing the weight of this sentence.

Qin Niang seized the chance and nodded hurriedly, “Please, Your Highness, give this servant a chance to redeem her sins.”

Ning Yin played with the short blade between his fingers, half-squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

“Okay.” After a while, he easily agreed.

Only raising his jaw, the palace maid immediately kneeled to his feet in a pleasing manner.

Ning Yin smiled coldly and stared at the woman under her feet: “I want you to love me.”

Just like Yu Lingxi did to Xue Cen.

As soon as these words came out, the subordinates in the room raised their eyes in astonishment, completely unable to guess the master’s mind.

Qin Niang was even more frightened, what did the seventh prince mean?

Since birth, Ning Yin has endured the indifference of his biological father, the oppression of his siblings, and even his biological mother, Concubine Li, is full of disgust towards him.

He is paranoid, ruthless, and good at disguise. His short life is full of dark distortions, and no one loves him.

Qin Niang was only afraid of him, she really didn’t know how to love him. But if she wanted to live, she could only bite the bullet and reach out, her fingertips trembling up along the new pair of leather boots, and grasped the hem of his clothes.

Begging for joy… it should be love, right?

All the women in the palace do this.

As soon as those worm-like pale hands touched the leather boots, Ning Yin’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

“It’s not like that.” He said coldly.

Yu Lingxi’s hands were very warm, but no matter how scared she was, her eyes were always transparent and clean, and there was a glint in her eyes when she looked over.

It doesn’t look like the woman in front of her at all, it’s false kitsch, her eyes are chaotic and there is no brilliance.

Only Yu Lingxi can, only she has eyes as bright as autumn water.

Ning Yin finally understood this matter.

“what!”

Qin Niang, who had just touched the corner of her clothes, was overturned to the ground and looked at the boy whose face suddenly changed in front of her in disbelief.

“You’re too dirty.” His pale thin lips spit out cold words.

“Your Highness, I can do it.”

Qin Niang’s pupils trembled, and she shivered, “I beg Your Highness to give this servant another chance…”

“Shh.” Ning Yin raised her slender knuckles and motioned for the woman to keep silent.

“You should be lucky, I don’t kill women.” He said.

Qin Niang was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes burst into the brilliance of hope.

Just when she thought she had escaped the catastrophe, Ning Yin leaned back in the chair and burst out laughing.

He laughed so hard that his chest shook, but he didn’t appear vulgar, but instead revealed a mocking elegance that fooled all beings, and asked lightly, “Do you think I would say this?”

Yinqing’s repeated tone made the joy in Qinniang’s eyes shattered and dimmed.

She knew that she would not survive, and in those dying eyes, a monstrous hatred burned again.

“No one will love you, Your Highness.” Qin Niang’s crying and laughing voice sounded like the most vicious curse in the world.

She screamed: “You can only be abandoned, betrayed, because you are a terrible evil spirit…”

The cursing stopped abruptly.

No one could see Ning Yin’s actions clearly, so Qin Niang suddenly widened her eyes, her body limply fell to the ground, and she lost her breath.

Ning Yin turned the blade between his fingers indifferently, looked around at the remaining subordinates, and said with a smile, “Whoever was turned over by Qin Niangce to the enemy, stand up yourself, and I can spare his life.”

The two of them changed their faces, looked at each other, and rushed towards Ning Yin at the same time.

They all saw Qinniang’s death. It was only strange that the Seventh Prince was willing to spare his life. It’s better to fight for a chance!

But just after taking a step, the two felt a chill in their hearts, and then two short bloody blades stabbed from the front chest and nailed it to the stone wall of the secret room.

Before they could even scream, they became two silent corpses.

Ning Yin wiped his fingers, turned around, and the other two, except Zheji, immediately knelt down together, sweating profusely, and said, “I swear to follow Your Highness to the death, and I will help His Highness complete the great cause!”

“Get up. Since there is nothing wrong, what are you kneeling for?”

Ning Yin wiped his fingers very slowly, “It doesn’t matter how big or small it is, as long as you don’t get in the way.”

A pool of viscous dark red dripped from the steps, he frowned, raised his boots and carefully stepped over the pool, Fang Xin walked up the stone steps.

“Your Highness.”

Zhe Ji followed behind him with a heavy sword on his back, and reminded in a deep voice, “There is a rumor in Beijing that Miss Yu was trapped on a cliff for a day and a night during the spring search, with a…”

He looked at the black-clothed boy in front of him, swallowed and said, “Having an affair with a lowly slave, do you want your subordinates to block and stifle this rumor?”

“Why block it?”

The boy showed a brisk smile and asked, “Isn’t this better?”

There was surprise in Zhe Ji’s eyes.

He originally thought that his master could take advantage of this marriage to act, but now it seems that he wants to marry the woman himself…

Qin Niang’s words before her death were still in her ears.

For a while, he didn’t know whether to sympathize with the Yu family girl or worry about his master, so he simply chose to remain silent.

Walking out of the secret room, the cool drizzle fell on his cheeks, Ning Yin raised his head and looked at the gloomy and cramped sky.

“It’s raining.” He said to himself.

…

Yufu.

Yu Lingxi leaned on the couch with the scroll in hand, staring at the rain outside the window: “Why is it raining suddenly?”

“The weather in late spring is changeable, what’s so strange about rain?”

Hu Tao put the refreshment on the table, walked over and closed the window. Seeing that there was no one around, he crouched in front of Yu Lingxi and said with a smile, “Miss, after you get married, will you often come back to see the slaves? And take it away, slaves can’t bear you.”

“Say what?”

Yu Lingxi didn’t lift her eyes, got up and added two spoons of pepper powder to the tea soup, “Who are you marrying?”

“Xue Erlang! It’s rare to have a relationship with a concubine. Who will the lady marry if he doesn’t marry him?”

“Undecided things, don’t talk nonsense.”

Yu Lingxifu put the tea cup back again, he was worried, and he couldn’t even eat his favorite pepper powder.

Yesterday, in order to decline the marriage in the East Palace, Xue Cen knelt down and begged for marriage in front of his father and brother. Yu Lingxi felt that maybe he should be happy, because everyone felt that she and him were a match made in heaven.

But she was full of emotion, but she was never happy. His heart was as calm as a mirror, and the ignorant feelings of his previous life when he was young were no longer present.

Yesterday in the courtyard, Xue Cen asked her opinion with a blushing face.

She tried to convince herself, but after thinking about it for a long time, she finally shook her head with a smile: “Brother Cen is very good, but I never thought of getting married.”

At that time, Xue Cen’s eyes were more surprised than lonely, and she probably didn’t expect that she would refuse.

Soon, he figured out something, and said with a warm smile: “Second sister is still young and never thought that marriage is normal. It’s okay, we can adapt slowly, as long as we can get through the current crisis.”

Yu Lingxi thought about it all night.

She might be able to marry Xue Cen, and then spend her life respecting each other, but this is too unfair to Xue Cen.

If love is not equal, it is a disaster.

You can deceive anyone, but Xue Cen, who has kneeled for her twice in the past and this life, can’t be deceived. She can’t deceive her conscience.

“If you don’t marry Xue Erlang, do you really want to enter the palace as a crown princess?”

Walnut’s mouth is shriveled. Although being a princess is noble, it is tiring to compete with three thousand beauties for favor!

It’s not like Xue Erlang, she is the only one in his heart.

Hearing this, Yu Lingxi thought about it very seriously. Assuming that she really married into the East Palace, when Ning Yin returned to the palace in the future, what are the chances that she would be able to survive with her current kindness…

However, it doesn’t count.

Ning Yin’s temperament is a dangerous mystery.

Just thinking about it, the attendant outside the door handed over a post and said: “Second Miss, the Tang Gongfu Qingping Township invited Miss to talk about something important to discuss.”

Yu Lingxi took the post, unfolded it, and frowned slightly.

Immediately thinking of something, she frowned and smiled.

Tang Buli’s brush strokes on the post are strong enough to show the anger of the person who wrote it.

Tang Buli said that there have been rumors in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing recently that Miss Yu was in danger while hunting in Chunsou and lost her virginity to a young slave…

Since it was spread from the circle of noble women, it is only possible that the female relatives who were present at the time were creating rumors.

Most of these chasing remarks were made by a woman who wanted to marry a phoenix in the East Palace, or by some admirer of Xue Cen.

However, this might be a good opportunity.

Yu Lingxi closed the post and said quietly, “Prepare the car and go to Duke Tang’s mansion.”

As soon as I went out, I saw a person walking in the slanting drizzle.

Ning Yin didn’t know where she came back from, she didn’t open an umbrella, her clothes and hair were all wet, and her handsome face was slightly pale from the rain.

In the past two days, he was so busy trying to refuse the marriage in the East Palace that he ignored him.

With a move in Yu Lingxi’s heart, she took the umbrella from the servant’s hand and walked towards Ning Yin.

“Where have you been?” She stopped in front of the boy, with a misty and rainy distance of half a zhang.

“Drink.” Ning Yin replied.

Yu Lingxi wrinkled her nose.

There was indeed a faint smell of wine in the humid air, and in addition to that, there was a familiar smell of decadence concealed under the smell of wine, like the smell of an aged cellar.

“What kind of wine do you drink on a rainy day?” Yu Lingxi frowned, straightened her arms, and handed over the umbrella in her hand thoughtfully.

However, when she looked down and saw the moccasins she gave her, she felt comforted, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Not happy.”

Ning Yin didn’t take the umbrella, and was quiet for a moment, then said softly, “The Major General once said that my stay in the mansion would ruin the reputation of the young lady.”

He stood in the rain and fog, with dark eyes like a sincere student asking, “Miss also thinks my status is low, is it a shame for Miss?”

This question is really strange.

Yu Lingxi laughed angrily: “If I had cared about those, I wouldn’t have driven a horse at night to get you back.”

Ning Yin still looked at her and asked, “Then, will Miss betray me and abandon me?”

What is this nonsense?

In terms of betrayal, she should have asked him if he would betray, right?

Yu Lingxi looked suspiciously at him who was slightly abnormal, thought for a while, then shook her head: “No, since I brought you back, you are my responsibility.”

After all, she will rely on this kindness in the future to make him the greatest blessing of the Yu family.

Ning Yin smiled, not knowing why she was happy, she nodded and said, “Okay, Wei Qi understands.”

understand what?

Before she could figure out what this little madman meant, Yu Lingxi hurried to Duke Tang’s mansion, shoved the umbrella into Ning Yin’s hand, and urged, “Take it, go back and change.”

After saying that, he turned around and quickly stepped into the carriage.

Ning Yin’s paper umbrella stood there, watching her carriage disappear on the avenue, the smile in her eyes gradually settled down.

An unfamiliar servant passed him and trotted over, wiping the rain from his chin while knocking on the corner door of Yu Mansion.

The guard opened the door, and the servant handed the letter in his arms with both hands, and said loudly: “This is the letter from the second son of my family, Xue. The letter is important, please be sure to pass it on to the second lady of your house.”

But Yu Lingxi just left the house.

The guard took the letter and let the maid put it on Yu Lingxi’s case table, and only waited for her to come back and read it.

As soon as the maid closed the door and left, a person appeared in the shadow of the corner and took the letter.

…

East Palace, the wind and rain are blowing.

Prince Ning Tan overturned a table of delicacies, smashed two cups, and said angrily, “Who said she and Xue Cen had a marriage contract? Why haven’t I heard of it.”

A secret guard clasped his fists and reported: “According to the investigation of the humble office, the Xue and Yu families do have a marriage contract.”

Ning Tan is even more suffocated. Anyone who Yu Lingxi has a marriage contract with is fine, why is it the Xue family?

Xue Youxiang clearly did not participate in the party, but secretly he was the biggest arm of the East Palace. Even in the face of Mr. Xue, he could not openly grab his grandson-in-law.

Ning Tan had already asked someone to inquire, and the second girl of the Yu family did indeed have a stunning beauty that was rarely seen in the capital.

There is no woman in the world that he can’t get, but such a little beauty is actually cheaper than Xue Cen!

Just as he couldn’t hold his breath, he saw another eunuch hurried over with broken steps. He knelt down and held a crumpled letterhead above his head and said, “Your Highness, I just found this thing on the gate of the East Palace.”

Ning Tan snatched the letter, unfolded it and looked at it, his brows became even more hostile.

“Tonight at Youshi, I hope to meet Qinxin Pavilion in the north of the city…”

Ning Tan ground Xue Cen’s name little by little, and spat it out of the gap between his teeth, “Is your love and concubine thinking about running away?”

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He even thought viciously, if only Xue Cen disappeared from the world…

Pausing irritably.

Ning Tan muttered to himself: “Yes, as long as Xue Erlang disappears from the world, this marriage will naturally not be possible.”

The dark guard was surprised, and hurriedly clasped his fists to persuade: “His Royal Highness, the people of the Xue family can’t move…”

“As long as your hands and feet are clean, you can make some accidents and hide from the Right Prime Minister, and you will be unaware.”

Confused by jealousy, Ning Tan threw the letter on the face of the guard and said angrily, “Go!”

…

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Yu Lingxi simply waited in Tang Gong’s mansion until the rain stopped before rushing back to Yu’s mansion.

At the time of the unitary hour, the dark blue twilight gradually invaded.

There was a crescent moon in the east, and the rain accumulated between the corrugations fell in front of the steps, shattering the cool luster.

Yu Lingxi had just returned to the room, changed clothes, and sat on the couch to rest, when she saw the maid enter the door and said: “Miss, Xue Erlang’s book boy sent a letter at noon, saying that it was something important, and I’ll put the letter for you. How many cases… hey, where’s the letter?”

The maid’s voice paused, and she moved the ink and ink books on the table one by one, and said in surprise, “I’m clearly leaving it here.”

Yu Lingxi pondered for a while, guessing that Xue Cending was looking for her because of her marriage.

A decision needs to be made early on this matter, and it is not good for the Yu family and the Xue family to drag it on.

“Since it’s an urgent matter, I’ll visit the door in person.”

Yu Lingxi tidyed up her appearance in the mirror. Seeing that there was no rudeness, she said softly, “Prepare a carriage and a letter of worship, and go to Xue’s house.”

The road to Xuefu was not smooth.

The journey of two quarters of an hour was obviously blocked by beggars, and another vendor’s cart was dumped, blocking the way.

After a long delay, Yu Lingxi simply abandoned the car and walked.

After finally arriving at the Xue Mansion, the servants who came to greet him were surprised and asked, “Why did the second lady come here? Didn’t my Erlang invite you to meet you at Qinxin Pavilion in the north of the city, he left an hour ago. ”

Thinking of the many troubles on the way to Xue Mansion, Yu Lingxi had some inexplicable signs of unease.

Lotus lotus pond in the north of the city.

The night wind blew, and the accumulated rain on the lotus leaves rolled round and round, and fell into the pond with a click, startling two swimming carp.

In the ignorant night, I saw Xue Cen in brocade and jade belt, pacing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, glancing at the end of the trestle from time to time.

While waiting anxiously, I suddenly heard a deliberately lowered male voice behind him, calling: “Xue Erlang.”

Xue Cen turned back subconsciously, just as he was about to ask who was coming, he saw a masked shadow flash past, and then a pain in his chest.

Before he could react, he was pushed back by the huge palm force, opened his eyes wide, and fell on his back into the cold and deep lotus pond.

With a thud, water splashed everywhere.

The two men in black on the shore looked down and asked, “Can you die like this?”

“You press his head down, don’t let him come up.” Another whispered.

There was a frightening sound of wings flying, and the two people with ghosts raised their heads immediately, and saw a huge bird hovering over the lotus pond, like an impermanent ghost, scrutinizing Xue Cen, who was constantly struggling in the pool.

“someone is coming?”

“withdraw!”

The two shadows were afraid of being seen at the scene, so they didn’t care to watch Xue Cen sink, they scattered and ran away.

Almost at the same time, a tall and slender youth appeared under the moon gate in the distance.

He raised his arm, and the gray falcon hovering in the air landed obediently, gathering its wings on his arm.

“Help… help…”

There was a sound of water in the pool, and the moonlight was shattered.

Ning Yin stood leisurely in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, with cold waves reflected in his eyes, he found a good angle and admired Xue Cen’s struggling and sinking figure.

As soon as Xue Cen died, he would make Foxy Xue reasonable and suspicious to the head of the East Palace.

At that time, there is no need for him to do it, and there will be two tigers fighting each other, and the ruler and the minister will turn against the water. Isn’t it very interesting?

The lake is devouring life, and the wave of light distorts the handsome face of the young man.

There was an extremely happy smile on his face, as if he saw the most wonderful scene in the future in the pool.

After confirming, and staying for a while.

He turned to leave, but suddenly faced a figure that would never have appeared here.

Yu Lingxi’s chest heaved and she looked at him in shock.
