Novel Bin Chapter 582: The True Color of the Apparently Harmless Girl
Xue Pianran was stupefied on the spot.
When she was in North Qing, Xue Pianran was a fairy-like girl who was at a high status and never cared about earthly affairs. Never had she been cursed like this.
“Ye Lingyue, who on earth is the malicious one? You clearly know that Feng Shen has a marriage alliance with me but continue pestering him. You and your mother are the true evildoers!”
Xue Pianran gritted her teeth and no longer disguised herself, swearing at Ye Lingyue.
Ye Lingyue raised her eyebrows.
Both Princess Qingbi and Xue Pianran had hit Ye Lingyue’s bottom line by speaking ill of her family members.
“Xue Pianran, you say that Feng Shen is your fiancé. Does he admit it?” Ye Lingyue moved a step closer and questioned Xue Pianran.
Xue Pianran turned wordless. Her marriage alliance with Feng Shen was not stipulated by the royal edict or a marriage contract. It was only an oral promise between Master Hongru and the Qing Emperor.
Such a promise held true for only a young age. Since Feng Shen’s parents passed away long ago, only Feng Shen himself could determine his marriage now.
“Are you so bitchy as to court someone that does not love you at all? I have met so many women but no one is as bitchy as you. Feng Shen and I are both single and we love each other. Who gives you the right to make indiscreet remarks? You are the unmarried fairy-like girl in the Dan Palace but keeps on courting a man. You don’t feel ashamed of it but I find it quite disgraceful.”
Ye Lingyue’s words were point-blank and powerful.
“Exactly! Let’s look at this fairy-like girl of the Dan Palace. For the sake of a man, she has followed all the way from North Qing to Da Xia.” Lan Cai’er looked down on Xue Pianran and shouted.
The guests started discussing and making comments on Xue Pianran who was rather embarrassed but could not show her true feelings in front of so many people.
“Isn’t it enough?” A person suddenly moved forward and shouted at Lan Cai’er.
It was Cong Lv who had escorted Princess Qingbi and Xue Pianran to Da Xia. He was waiting outside but heard a noise. It turned out that Xue Pianran was quarreling with Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
Cong Lv saw that Xue Pianran was in tears and dared not say anything despite her anger. He felt sympathetic and then glared at Lan Cai’er.
“Never enough! She has framed my sister and I will never let her go. Somebody! Drive out these two mad dogs!” Lan Cai’er flew into a rage. Never in her life had anyone shouted at her like this.
“How dare you?” Cong Lv was irritated since he had never met women as vixenish as Lan Cai’er.
“I dare! Do you want to beat a woman? Come and see how the second-level bodyguard of North Qing is prepared to hit a woman. Your parents had you learn martial skills just for the purpose of hitting women? If I had such a son, I would take him by the throat when he was born!” Lan Cai’er kept on swearing uninhibitedly as if she feared nothing.
Cong Lv trembled with anger and his handsome face turned green.
He was born into a noble family and never met such a sharp-tongued girl like Lan Cai’er.
“Brother Cong, forget it. Let’s go.” Xue Pianran was ashamed and resentful, rushing Cong Lv to leave.
Ye Lingyue had been annoyed before but then could not help laughing, especially when Cong Lv looked as if he had met some ghost-like beings.
“Gee! Brother-in-law, you have come?” Lan Cai’er finished swearing and saw Feng Shen standing by the side.
Feng Shen was accompanied by the knife warrior who showed full admiration for Lan Cai’er.
It was the first time for the warrior to see someone swearing at Mr. Cong like this. Unfortunately, Mr. Cong must contain his feelings. No wonder Steward Mu was always saying that only women and villains were hard to deal with.
Lan Cai’er was a villain-like woman.
Ye Lingyue suddenly found that Feng Shen had already come, and she did not know when he came. Did he hear all of what she said to anger Xue Pianran?
Ye Lingyue blushed scarlet and dared not look directly at Feng Shen.
“Knife warrior, present the gift.” Feng Shen saw Xue Pianran trying to trouble Ye Lingyue when he first came. He had intended to stick up for Ye Lingyue but did not expect her to say those words in a rage.
“Love each other...” It turned out Ye Lingyue liked him, too.
Presented with a large number of gifts, Lan Cai’er who was always greedy for money smiled so joyfully that even her eyes were half closed.
“Brother-in-law, you are on our side. So I will not attend to you and will go inside to count the gifts. Knife warrior, you are full of strength so please move all these in.” Lan Cai’er blinked and left immediately with the knife warrior.
Most of the guests in the Ye Manor had already been seated. At this time, Feng Shen and Ye Lingyue moved into the manor.
Today’s banquet was set in the inner courtyard which was full of noises. In contrast, the outer one was much quieter, only lanterns swinging with the night winds.
The lantern shadows were shown on the faces of the two.
“Just now...”
“On that day...”
After a long time of silence, Ye Lingyue and Feng Shen almost spoke at the same time and then stopped simultaneously.
“You speak first.” Ye Lingyue lowered her head and did not look at Feng Shen.
“On that day, I was wrong.” Feng Shen’s breath felt closer.
Ye Lingyue heard his apology and her mind went blank for a while. Suddenly, she felt a kiss on the forehead.
The kiss was tender, just like a falling feather.
She started and raised her head. Then the two found themselves looking at each other.
His eyes were so appealing that anyone would be overwhelmed.
“I should not have forced you. Your parental relationship has not been good since you were young. So it is quite natural that you resist any romantic relationship. You can consider what I said on that day. If you are willing to, please accompany me to the imperial banquet. If not, I will take my time in the long wait.” Feng Shen’s soft voice and attractive face had nearly dazzled Ye Lingyue.
They kept on looking at each other.
At this time, the noises in the manor nearly vanished and they disregarded all the others.
At this time, the happiness was eternal and no one could interrupt them.
Suddenly, a voice came from the inner courtyard.
“The best time has come and it’s time for the groom and the bride to bow to Heaven and Earth.”
Ye Lingyue suddenly came down to earth.
“My mother is going to perform the wedding ceremony. Please help yourself.” With these words, she ran away as soon as she could.
In the air was still the mild fragrance from Ye Lingyue’s body. Feng Shen saw that Ye Lingyue was at a loss and smiled. His smile was overwhelmingly attractive.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He turned around slowly and looked up at the sky.
The moon was still high in the sky but the night scenery was a bit different.
In the air stood a man.
The man’s appearance was delicate. His eyes were black and golden. It was a man belonging to the night, a man that was born superior to all the others.
Right at this time, he was also staring at Feng Shen.
