Chapter 128:
But just as Chen Xi’er’s words fell, the door of the room belonging to Lu Ziyan upstairs emitted a deafening crash.
Two nearly naked women flew out.
They directly flew over the second floor railing and crashed heavily onto the first floor hall.
They vomited blood on the spot and fainted.
Chen Xi’er, who witnessed everything with her own eyes, and the group of dancers screamed, their faces showing horror as they retreated repeatedly.
If they hadn’t left just now, wouldn’t they be lying there too at this moment?
The chaotic scene didn’t last long. The brothel madam quickly sent the young ladies back to their rooms, and a few attendants came forward to carry away the two injured young ladies.
Ming Jian and Ming Feng exchanged a glance, their expressions both unsightly.
They had taken it upon themselves to send someone into Master’s room. If he had used her, it would have been fine, but…
Time passed bit by bit, and more than a dozen personal soldiers in the hall all stood motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside gradually darkened, and red candles were lit in the flower house hall.
From the side room upstairs where even the door had been completely demolished, a figure walked out. He first turned his head to glance at the tightly closed door next door, then slowly walked downstairs.
Lu Ziyan’s steps down the stairs were very slow, his voice very low and muffled, making people’s minds tense and inexplicably nervous.
Ming Jian and Ming Feng shuddered all over and immediately knelt on one knee. Behind them, more than a dozen soldiers also knelt down in unison.
“Still inside?” Lu Ziyan said.
“Yes!” Ming Jian replied: “She has never come out.”
“Where’s the person? Did he keep her?”
“…They were all driven out.”
As soon as the words were finished, the sound of a door turning open came from upstairs.
Lu Ziyan turned back, and their gazes met.
Pei Yuqing’s clothes were neat and tidy. Apart from the flush on his eyelids, even his hairpin was not disheveled, still in that elegant and jade-like appearance.
He stepped down and said indifferently: “Thank you, Lord Lu, for your generous hospitality. It’s getting late, Pei wishes to return to the residence. We can meet again another day.”
Hearing this, Lu Ziyan first impassively sized him up for a few breaths, then turned sideways to look at his two subordinates.
Ming Jian said: “More than two hours have passed.”
Lu Ziyan himself had been drugged with Warm Affection Powder, and no one knew better than him how he had endured these two hours.
At this moment, the medicinal effect had indeed dissipated.
If this sickly person were truly a man, even if he forcibly suppressed his desire, he couldn’t be this calm and composed.
The facts were plain to see.
“What Wanwan said is indeed true,” he sneered lightly and said: “Even like this, you still won’t let go?”
Behind him, Ming Jian, Ming Feng, and the others also showed mocking expressions.
Faced with this situation, any man, no matter how good his self-control, probably couldn’t endure it for even half a moment.
But Pei Yuqing’s expression didn’t change. He glanced at Lu Ziyan, his lips curving in a subtle arc, said nothing, and directly turned to leave.
Lu Ziyan’s breathing hitched, his heart inexplicably pounding fiercely, almost subconsciously wanting to keep the person there.
But outside Cuiyun Pavilion, Pei Er had already brought quite a few men to wait for a long time.
Once they clashed, it would be another conflict.
At that time, the buzzing rumors would sweep in again.
That young lady who had finally settled into a peaceful life would once again be thrown into the eye of the storm.
He wasn’t afraid of rumors or worried about others; it was just that the outcome of her being murdered in her previous life was still vivid in his mind.
With the current situation unclear, before bringing down the First Prince, he shouldn’t show that he cared about her, shouldn’t quarrel with Pei Yuqing again for her sake, shouldn’t let anyone see his obsession, and put her in danger.
