Chapter 126

Pei Yuqing didn't feel embarrassed about such questioning.

He looked around, then sat down, lowered his eyes to look at the fruits and snacks on the table, and said, "Why did you invite me here today? You might as well tell me directly."

Lu Ziyan was still standing by the window, still exuding that solemn and murderous aura.

Gloomy and very majestic.

The two men faced each other in silence for a few moments, neither showing any expression.

Suddenly, Lu Ziyan moved. He walked a few steps to sit opposite Pei Yuqing, and even raised his hand to fill his glass with wine.

"In fact, I admire you very much. Although you are not a general who fights on the battlefield, your ability is not inferior to any general at the border." He put down the wine pot and said slowly: "If possible, I don't want to be your enemy, and I think you are the same."

Pei Yuqing was surprised. She didn't expect that he would be so kind to her.

After all, in everyone's eyes, Lu Ziyan's bones are hard, just like his spear Xueyin, which would rather break than bend.

"You should know the inside story. There were many misunderstandings between Wanwan and I, which led to the current situation."

Seeing that he remained silent, Lu Ziyan's eyes darkened and he continued, "You are much older than her and your health is not good. In fact, you are not a good match for her. And I don't mind your hasty marriage..."

"Master Lu," Pei Yuqing raised his hand to interrupt him, smiled, and said, "If you have anything to say, why not just say it directly."

"Then I'll speak frankly,"

Lu Ziyan was not angry when his words were interrupted. Instead, he looked at him and said, "Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you. If I don't have it, I will snatch it from you, as long as you return her to me."

"It's not a warning, nor a threat. I'm telling you the truth. I can never let her go in this lifetime. If you're willing to let her go, I'll forgive you for the past and accept your kindness. Otherwise..."

Having said this, he paused and his tone softened.

"The world is so big, there are so many beauties. As long as they are not Xie Wan Ning, you can choose any other. Just say a word and I will find it for you."

As he spoke, Lu Ziyan clapped his hands, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

More than a dozen graceful dancers came in one after another, their sleeves fluttering, their clothes fluttering, and their skirts made of only a few layers of gauze, which swayed like water waves as they danced.

The girls' warm fragrance filled the room.

The slender waists swayed gracefully, and each of them was a girl in her prime with a beautiful face, like a lotus that was delicate and could not withstand the wind and frost, pure and bright.

It was the coldest time of the year, and even with a charcoal fire burning in the house, it was still too cool for these girls.

But such humble beauty can vent a man's desire to destroy.

A wife is a symbol of harmony. A man's wife at home should be treated with respect and honor.

The girl in my heart can't bear to be treated with the slightest bit of neglect.

But when dealing with these objects of pleasure, you can use all the means of humiliation you can think of. Not only will they not be angry, but they will also kneel down to thank you for your kindness.

Some men with hidden illnesses and eunuchs in the palace, who had no normal way to vent their emotions, took pleasure in torturing women. Lu Ziyan had heard a lot of such stories.

He believed that he had made careful arrangements, and that they were the right medicine for every situation.

Pei Yuqing only knew one part of his plan but not the other. He sat cross-legged with his back straight, his eyes slightly lowered, watching indifferently.

Suddenly, his eyes froze and he seemed to be stunned.

The girl, who was surrounded by a dozen dancers, saw the veil covering her face slowly slide down, her lips curled up, and her eyes looked over here with a smile.

Even in the dim light, the girl was stunningly beautiful.

Pei Yuqing was in a trance for a moment, and at that moment, he thought he saw Xie Wan Ning.

Such changes were naturally seen by Lu Ziyan, who had been paying attention to him.

Seeing him like this, Lu Ziyan stopped tapping the table and glanced at Chen Xier.

The other party immediately understood and realized that this was his last chance.

She moved lightly with lotus steps, gradually approaching this side, and finally waved her sleeves lightly towards the two people's faces.

She is really charming and full of charm.

The moment the sleeves swept over, Lu Ziyan frowned and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but in order not to fail, he held back.

The sweet and sticky perfume on the girl's body fell on their faces, and her waist drooped softly along the bend of her knees, "Nu Xier, I meet the two masters."

Even her voice was so gentle and charming that it made one feel numb just by listening to it.

Pei Yuqing kept his eyelids drooped and said nothing, letting the girl kneel softly at his feet.

Seeing this, Lu Ziyan sneered inwardly.

Thinking that this old man relied on such a sanctimonious appearance to seduce his Wanwan, he hated her so much that his teeth were about to break.

He lowered his eyes and ordered, "Lift your face up."

Chen Xier raised her head as she was told, her delicate neck raised, and she said tenderly, "I am willing to be your slave and maid, and I beg you to take care of me."

She looks 60% like Xie Wan Ning, even her sweet smile is alike, but she is so gentle and humble, and you can treat her as you please.

Pei Yuqing opened his eyes and looked at her for a while, then said in silence: "Where did you find it?"

"Do you still need to look for it? I can find as many of these Khans as you want," Lu Ziyan said, "You want a younger one, right? This one just came of age this year. Do you like it?"

"If you like her, she's yours," he said, almost frankly, "You don't have to risk your life and property to go against me for a woman."

As he spoke, he said to Chen Xier who was kneeling on the ground: "Why don't you toast to Master Pei? From now on, he is your master."

Chen Xier considered herself to be worldly-wise, but facing the gazes of these two men, her heart still pounded.

Unlike her usual feigned shyness, she actually blushed when being looked at.

She only felt that the gaze of the Lord Pei in front of her was profound, and his aura was stronger than that of her biological father, the provincial governor. He seemed to be in a high position and had great power. Just a casual glance at him could suck her soul away.

It is indeed much better than following that god of death.

Her eyes were filled with affection. She raised her hand slowly, picked up the wine glass on the table, and placed it in front of him, saying softly, "Please let me stay, sir."

No man could resist such a beauty asking for mercy.

But Pei Yuqing lowered his eyelids again and said calmly: "I already have a beloved wife at home. Thank you for your kindness, Lord Lu. Why don't you take her in yourself?"

In an instant, the shame on Chen Xier's face disappeared completely.

Her good name spread throughout Qingzhou City. Since she was a child, no matter where she visited, the most common words she heard were praises.

Countless young men fell at her feet.

Her father valued her beauty and did not easily agree to her marriage. He just wanted to find a good marriage for her.

When it was finally offered, it encountered a series of setbacks.

Everyone looks down on her!
Lu Ziyan had expected such a result and he was not disappointed.

He just waved his hand, signaling Chen Xier to leave.

But the other party fell on Pei Yuqing's knees first, crying tenderly: "Master, please save me. If you don't want me, I will only die."

Pei Yuqing grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away. "Whether you live or die is none of my business. It's better to beg your master than to beg me."

Knowing that this plan would fail, Lu Ziyan waved his hand, and Mingfeng covered the man's mouth and dragged him out.

"She is the daughter of Qingzhou Governor Chen Wen. Her biological mother is the concubine of the Qucheng Marquis's mansion. She is Wanwan's cousin. Her father gave her to me when we were in Qingzhou. I thought since you like younger girls, I would like to borrow her to offer to you."

He smiled and said, "Since you don't want to accept it, I can only return it the same way." If he returned it to Chen's house the same way, it would be obvious what kind of ending a father like this who sold his daughter for fame and fortune would have.

If that were the case, he could still save his life, but the important thing was that he had already collected all the evidence of Chen Wen's corruption and bribery, and now it was all placed in front of the imperial desk. Even Lord Chen might be brought down in this case, and a Qingzhou governor would not be able to escape death.

"It is said that Lord Pei has great righteousness in his heart and loves the poor and the weak," Lu Ziyan said, "If you feel sorry for him, you can take him in. Even if you can't do anything, it can at least be a consolation."

It is impossible to act...

Pei Yuqing's calm expression froze for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at him.

Lu Ziyan smiled and said, "This is what Wanwan told me personally that day, so it can't be wrong, right?"

Although he was smiling, the provocation in his eyes was undisguised.

The two men confronted each other, sparks flying.

After a while, Lu Ziyan said, "I won't spread this kind of thing."

Pei Yuqing curled her lips and smiled, saying, "Do you think I would mind?"

Lu Ziyan thought he was just being stubborn, but he also had some doubts about the matter.

The reason I invited you here today was originally to collect evidence.

Thinking of this, he picked up another wine glass, filled it up, and raised it.

"Since I invited you today, I will toast you a glass." After saying that, he smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

Pei Yuqing's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyelids to look at the drinks on the table.

He didn't move. Lu Ziyan smiled coldly: "Are you afraid that I'll poison the wine?"

As he said this, he picked up the glass and drank it himself.

He filled his glass again.

This is a determination to make him drink.

Pei Yuqing thought to himself as he held the wine glass and raised his arm to his lips, his breathing almost stagnated.

Immediately, he drank it without hesitation.

After drinking, he took the initiative to fill their glasses and said with a smile: "Fine wine is hard to come by. I also want to offer a toast to Lord Lu."

His action made Lu Ziyan look a little hesitant, but he didn't see any clues.

After a few moments of silence, he took the glass and drank it.

Two people drank three cups each and the other drank two cups.

Lu Ziyan said, "The hatred of having my wife taken away from me is irreconcilable. I will never show mercy to my enemies. I hope Lord Pei will consider carefully whether he really wants to be my enemy."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go ahead. Someone will entertain you here."

Not long after he left, another group of dancers came in.

Pei Yuqing no longer had the straight back he had just been sitting in, but looked drunk, slumped on the edge of the table, supporting his chin with one hand, as if enjoying the singing and dancing.

Ming Jian came into the next room and said, "Everything looks normal. The Warm Love Powder has not taken effect... After you left, he was still drinking and seemed drunk."

Inside the thick curtains, Lu Ziyan said in a low voice, "Keep him for two hours."

It takes two hours for the effects of the Nuanqing Powder to fully take effect.

"Do you want to replace the wine?" Ming Jian said, "He is so weak, how can he withstand such medicine? If something happens after drinking it..."

"How can he be weak? Even if I die, he won't die."

Lu Ziyan sneered, "Nuanqing Powder only works on normal men. It is useless to a useless person. What can he do after drinking it?"

The eunuchs in the palace love to drink this wine, and no one has ever been in trouble.

He wanted to see if this guy was really a waste.

Before Ming Jian could say anything, a jade pillow was thrown out from inside the curtain, "Get out!"

After drinking three cups of warm wine, Lu Ziyan's voice became hoarse and his throat almost felt like it was on fire.

Ming Jian moved to the side to avoid the pillow that was thrown at him, and he felt very uncomfortable when hearing that.

When had his son ever used such a strategy that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred? Wasn't it really just to torture himself?

"Why do you have to make yourself suffer? This is a brothel. I will find two clean girls for you to counteract the effects of the drug..."

"roll!"

"If the effect of the medicine is not excreted, it will harm your body." Ming Jian said stubbornly: "If you insist on thanking the girl, I will also capture her for you!"

There was silence inside for a few moments. After a while, the thick veil was lifted and Lu Ziyan walked out half naked.

"Who are you going to kidnap?"

"…Thank you, Miss."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ziyan's red eyes flashed with light, and then quickly extinguished, "She is in the Duke of Pei's mansion, you can't kidnap her."

Unless he goes over.

He could sneak in without alerting the guards of Pei Mansion.

Once this thought came to my mind, I could hardly suppress it.

He was drugged, so he could go find her naturally.

Do anything to her.

Make her completely his.

And she shouldn't blame him. After all, he missed her so much that he was going crazy. How could she blame him?

...No, no!

She holds grudges the most, and he can't do that.

"Get out!"

Lu Ziyan kicked Ming Jian on the shoulder, kicking Ming Jian directly from the room to the stairs, rolling all the way down the stairs to Ming Feng's feet.

Seeing his miserable state, Ming Xian almost laughed out loud.

"You can still laugh," Ming Jian said, "The prince has a heart disease that is difficult to cure. Now he is poisoned by love, but he still insists on resisting it. Aren't you worried at all?"

Hearing this, Mingfeng's smile froze on his face. Of course he was worried.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know what kind of magic potion Miss Xie has given to the master. Even though they are already married, she can still seduce the master to remain chaste for her."

Why.

Just a fickle woman.

After thinking for a while, Ming Feng gritted his teeth and said, "If you ask me, a man who has been poisoned by love will lose all his rationality and won't care who the woman is."

"You mean..." Ming Jian understood what he meant and frowned, "In fact, the best candidate is still Chen Xier, but she has been arranged by the prince to live in that person's room."

Ming Feng looked at him with disdain, "You are such a stubborn person. As long as it's not Miss Xie, it doesn't matter whether it's Chen Xier or Wang Xier. How can they be the best candidate?"

As he spoke, he called the madam of Cuiyun Pavilion, carefully selected two girls who had never received guests, pointed to the closed rooms upstairs, and said, "Go in, as long as you serve well, you will have a good life."
