Translator: Sissy That Walk
Lan Cai'er usually had a high voice and her shouting quickly drew the attention of the guests .
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 pa.s.sed away long ago, only Feng Shen himself could determine his marriage now .
“Are you so b.i.t.c.hy as to court someone that does not love you at all? I have met so many women but no one is as b.i.t.c.hy 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 .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
“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 embarra.s.sed 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 n.o.ble 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, rus.h.i.+ng 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 relations.h.i.+p has not been good since you were young . So it is quite natural that you resist any romantic relations.h.i.+p . 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 .
