Chapter 129 Confrontation
Chapter 129 Confrontation

Chang and Lu both knew Zhu Biao's character and could see that this was just a joke to tease the Chang sisters, so they both covered their mouths and laughed without saying anything.

But the Chang sisters were ignorant of the ways of the world, and when they heard what Zhu Biao said, they immediately believed it.

They all said anxiously at the same time: "Your Highness, don't!"

After saying that, they looked at each other again and their faces immediately blushed.

Zhu Biao laughed loudly, looked at Ye Xuan who came in and said: "You are so lucky, look how worried my two sisters-in-law are about you!"

The Chang sisters looked at Ye Xuan angrily and ashamedly, then turned away angrily.

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, please stop joking. It doesn't matter that I'm a man, but if this gets out, what will happen to the reputation of the two princesses?"

Mrs. Lu laughed sweetly and teased, “I didn’t expect that Ye Xuan is so considerate.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan looked at Lu and his eyes suddenly became complicated.

It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful woman could have such a vicious heart.

Not only did she plot to kill her wife and son, she even spared her own husband.

As if she had noticed something unusual in Ye Xuan's eyes, Lu's laughter gradually stopped, and she looked at Ye Xuan with a look full of suspicion.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao came to the rescue in time and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, sixth sister, it is normal for a man to marry a few concubines. I hope you can think more open-mindedly. As a mistress, you should be more generous, understand?"

"If you get angry just because of a concubine, how can you live like this? Look at your sister and ask her if she is angry that I married a concubine."

The Chang sisters were also a little curious and couldn't help but look at Chang.

Chang's lips curled up slightly, and she glanced at Zhu Biao in a reproachful manner and said, "Of course I'm angry..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao was stunned.

The Chang sisters immediately covered their mouths and laughed softly, but Chang said, "But there's nothing we can do about it. It will be over once we've calmed down."

Zhu Biao laughed awkwardly and said, "Look, learn more from your sister, this is the right pattern! As the Crown Prince's principal wife, she is the future master of the East Palace. If a concubine can't get over it, she will be angry to death in the future!"

Everyone was laughing, but Ye Xuan was the only one who noticed that when Zhu Biao mentioned that Chang would be the mistress of the harem, a hint of resentment flashed in Lu's eyes.

Time passed quickly without him noticing. After lunch, Ye Xuan was hiding in a shady place, quietly observing Lu's every move.

Chang Ruyun came over, lowered her blushing face and called out coquettishly, "Master Ye..."

Ye Xuan really didn't have the heart to deal with her at the moment, and said absentmindedly: "Well, Miss Fifth wants to talk to me about something?"

Chang Ruyun seemed to be hurt by Ye Xuan's overly cold attitude. She felt a little disappointed, but she still suppressed her grievance and said, "I was rude in the morning. Please forgive me, Master Ye."

Ye Xuan said nonchalantly: "I don't care. The person you should apologize to is Nian Wei, not me."

I originally thought that after saying this, Chang Ruyun, as a princess, would become furious and then start to hate Ye Xuan, and then this evil relationship would end.

Unexpectedly, Chang Ruyun nodded seriously and said, "I will... I will learn to get along with Sister Nianwei in the future."

Ye Xuan was a little surprised and asked curiously: "Sister Nianwei? But she is older than you. You are only sixteen this year, right?"

Chang Ruyun blushed immediately and said incoherently: "But...a concubine is my younger sister! Oh, Master Ye, you are so bad!"

After saying that, she ran away with a shy look on her face, leaving Ye Xuan confused.

Not long after Chang Ruyun left, Chang Ruyue came up to him shyly again.

"Master Ye..."

Ye Xuan said helplessly, "Do you want to apologize? If so, you should apologize to Nian Wei instead of me."

Ye Xuan thought that Chang Ruyue was only fifteen years old, and her personality was the most arrogant among the three sisters. If she was provoked by him like this, she would definitely turn her face away.

Unexpectedly, the Chang sisters seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and each one was more gentle than the other.

Chang Ruyue also nodded her head and said shyly, "Whatever you say, Master Ye, Ruyue will do. Anyway... Ruyue has repented and will not embarrass Sister Nianwei anymore."

Ye Xuan was speechless. How could these two sisters be so confident that they could become Nianwei's sisters?

After Chang Ruyue finished speaking, she ran away feeling embarrassed.

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and was about to continue observing Lu when he was startled.

It was unknown when Mrs. Lu found herself standing in front of Ye Xuan, holding Zhu Yunwen and smiling sweetly.

"Lord Ye, are you looking for me?" Mrs. Lu looked at Ye Xuan with a smile, and Ye Xuan looked back at her solemnly.

After a long time, Lu suddenly chuckled and said jokingly, "If we continue to look at each other like this, people might misunderstand that we have a private affair."

Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled meaningfully, "Even before the concubine married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would have kept my distance from her. How could there be any affair between us?"

Lu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she glared at Ye Xuan fiercely and asked, "What do you mean, Lord Ye?"

Ye Xuan did not retreat and said: "It is difficult to understand what I mean, Concubine, don't you know it yourself?"

"Haha, if you don't want others to know, then you better not do it yourself..." Ye Xuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and asked tentatively: "Madam, do you still remember the bottle you gave to Doctor Xu?"

"Shut up!" Lu's face suddenly became ferocious and she growled, scaring Zhu Yunwen in her arms so much that he burst into tears.

Seeing everyone looking over here, Lu immediately restrained her ferocious expression, and walked around with Zhu Yunwen in her arms, coaxing him softly.

Just as she walked past Ye Xuan, she whispered, "I came back to find you. It will be no good for both you and me if we fight to the bitter end."

Ye Xuan's face was serious. He said nothing and just watched Lu's back as she left.

"I didn't expect that just by blasting you, you would actually explode."

The reason why Ye Xuan suddenly mentioned Doctor Xu was that he just wanted to trick Mrs. Lu on the spur of the moment.

I didn't have high hopes at first, but I didn't expect Lu's reaction to be so big.

But even so, Ye Xuan was certain that the real culprit behind the scenes was Lu, but no one would believe him if he told them without any evidence.

Time passed minute by minute, and as the sun gradually tilted towards the west, the outing group also set out on their journey home.

But this time, Ye Xuan was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way. He just kept simulating in his mind the actions that Lu might take.

Is it assassination, threat, or solicitation?
Or did he realize that he had no substantial evidence and simply ignored himself?
