The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 541 Extra Thank You Banquet (8)

Jiang Wantang raised her head, her watery peach blossom eyes staring blankly at Xie Zhiyan beside her.

An indescribable complex emotion surged in my heart...

This man in front of her, whom she had never met before, seemed to know her very well.

Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her with a gentle smile, and there was an incomprehensible light in his deep pupils.

He said: “Just be bold and be yourself.”

Are you brave enough to be yourself?

Jiang Wantang muttered to himself, his eyes dimming unconsciously.

She had been abandoned by her family in a mountain village for ten years. They thought that they were bringing her back to Beijing for a family reunion, but they never imagined that it was to arrange for Jiang Wanfu's marriage.

No one ever cared whether she was willing or not, as if she was just a puppet at their mercy.

As long as she disobeys, she will be worthless and abandoned by her family again.

It was the first time someone told her to be herself like this.

Jiang Wantang lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Jiang Wanfu curled up the corners of her lips when she saw this, feeling secretly proud.

She knew that as long as she brought up her parents, the idiot Jiang Wantang would not dare to disobey her.

So, she took a step forward, stood in front of everyone, and said, "Master Xie, you may not know my second sister yet. She really likes Brother Jingheng. For him, she is willing to commit suicide and marry into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. You..."

"Shut up!"

"Noisy!"

Xie Zhiyan had a cold face and interrupted Jiang Wanfu without any hesitation. He sneered and said, "Do you think that you are clean just because you are throwing dirty water on your own sister?"

"I am not the young Marquis Xiao beside you, who is blind and cannot judge people."

"You think you can clear your name by shedding a few tears?"

"Hmph, that's ridiculous!"

Although he was smiling, his deep eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could easily see through people.

Jiang Wanfu was forced to shrink back a few steps by the fierce and oppressive aura emanating from him. She hid behind Xiao Jingheng in fear, but still said with determination: "I...every word I said is true. I said it this time to thank you for your kindness..."

The smile on Xie Zhiyan's lips deepened, but his eyes grew colder: "Really?"

"Miss Jiang just said not long ago that you should always rely on evidence when speaking."

"In that case, your words alone are unfounded and cannot be counted."

"As for the truth of the matter..." He raised his eyes, sneered at everyone present, and said coldly: "I will investigate and make it public."

"By then, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong."

"I will not let any of those who maliciously spread rumors and slander go unpunished!"

Xie Zhiyan's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it made everyone present tremble in their hearts.

Jiang Wanfu bit her lower lip tightly, and her whole body felt like she was falling into an ice cave, almost losing her balance.

The air around me seemed to freeze...

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that today’s matter will not end well.

However, Xie Zhiyan had no time to care about what others were thinking. His mind and eyes were full of the little girl who was lowering her head and refusing to speak.

I feel so heartbroken.

When had he ever seen his little fox being wronged like this?

So, he whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I will take care of this matter and will never let anyone bully you."

Jiang Wantang raised her eyes, and all the cold treatment and grievances she had suffered since returning to Beijing suddenly came to her mind. Her nose felt sore, and her red eyes made her look like a bullied little rabbit.

Just one glance and Xie Zhiyan felt extremely distressed.

Without caring about anything else, he said calmly, "Today, Xie has found his fiancée, so I won't bother Young Marquis Xiao with his wedding."

"Farewell!"

Before he finished speaking, he bent down and picked up Jiang Wantang, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and jumped onto the horse's back. Ignoring the surprised looks of the crowd, he rode away.

Only a group of people were left in front of the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion, looking disheveled in the wind.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After such a farce, they almost forgot that they came to attend a wedding.

However, the auspicious time has passed and the bride has been taken away...

There was silence all around, and no one spoke first.

Jiang Wanfu secretly gave the matchmaker a look.

The wedding lady understood and smiled again. She said to Xiao Jingheng, "Young Marquis, this is a great day. How about we continue with the wedding?"

Now that the house is full of guests, the groom and the originally chosen bride are both present, the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion can only bite the bullet and go ahead with the marriage.

If it were in the past, Jiang Wanfu would never have forced herself to get married like this, but now she is worried that the longer she stays, the more trouble she will have, so she can't wait to marry into the Marquis's Mansion.

After this incident, Xie Chong, who was originally a guest of honor, was too embarrassed to stay any longer and hurried back home.

Obviously, he had more important things to do.

At that time, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Xie Zhiyan dismounted from his horse and carried Jiang Wantang directly into his yard.

The guards at the door, the servants in the mansion...all witnessed with their own eyes the prince, who was the least interested in women, hurriedly entering his yard holding a woman in a red wedding dress.

Everyone's pupils widened in shock, thinking they were hallucinating.

Even if it's a man, it can't be a woman, right?!

Or a woman in a red wedding dress? ! !

In the Marquis's Mansion, everyone knew that the prince's yard was so clean that there was not even a female mosquito. On weekdays, only men were allowed to enter for sweeping.

After the shock, the first cleaning servant to react dropped his broom and hurried to the main courtyard of the mansion...

In the huge courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion,

With a "bang", Xie Zhiyan kicked open the carved door, and a refreshing pine fragrance filled the room.

Jiang Wantang felt her body lighten as she was gently placed on the Arhat couch covered with black fox fur.

She looked around. The layout was elegant and she knew it was the man's residence. She immediately became alert and asked, "Where is this?"

"What did you bring me here for?"

"Isn't it a little late for you to ask this question now?"

Xie Zhiyan looked at her with a smile, then suddenly leaned forward, his shadow completely covering her. He said with a half-smile, "A man and a woman, alone...in a room together. What can you do?"

He deliberately dragged out the ending of his tone, with a hint of ambiguous temptation.

Jiang Wantang looked at him, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but his face showed panic.

I sneered in my heart: Humph, this bastard is really not a good thing!

She curled up on the couch as if in fear, shrinking back and forth continuously, but in fact, she had already clenched a golden hairpin in her sleeve in her hand, ready to strike.

However, Xie Zhiyan smiled at her and stepped back.

He turned around, poured a glass of water, and placed it on the small table in front of Jiang Wantang. He looked at her with a deep smile and said slowly, "This is the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, my bedroom."

"It will also be our residence after we get married soon..."

(My dears, although the heroine in this life was not so wanton and arrogant at the beginning, she was definitely not a weak woman who waited for others to rescue her~)
