Chapter 133: Xue Ru Was Punished
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What happened?”
...Approaching Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan asked in a soft voice.
At her words, Xiao Nanye lost his gentle look and stared at Xue Ru coldly.
If glares could kill, Jiang Peihuan was sure Xue Ru would have been cut into pieces by now.
Xiao Nanye didn’t answer Jiang Peihuan. Instead, he looked at Xue Tao, who was kneeling in front of him. “General Xue, your family is from a military background, but you should at least know manners.”
“A single woman, who knows I am engaged, shamelessly threw herself at me.
Is this how your family raises its children?”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, everyone’s eyes fell on Xue Ru.
Xue Ru’s face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. She thought that Xiao Nanye would accept her and like her if she offered herself to him.
She had also thought it through. Jiang Peihuan was Xiao Nanye’s main consort. She did not ask for the position of the main consort. She only wanted the position of the secondary consort.
Even for the sake of the Xue family, Jian Peihuan could not make things difficult for her.
Xue Ru’s plan was very good, but she did not expect that Xiao Nanye did not want to look at her at all. He did not even want to have any contact with her. She had only touched him once, but he had already injured her.
When Xue Tao heard this, he woke up from his drunk state. Looking at Xiao Nanye, he quickly said, “Please forgive me, Your Highness, for failing to discipline my family properly.”
“Xiao Nanye?”
Seeing her two uncles kneeling on the ground, Jiang Peihuan was a little worried. Hearing her voice, Xiao Nanye lost some of the coldness in his eyes..
After a moment of silence, he looked at Xue Tao and said, “For the sake of Huan Er, 1 won’t pursue tonight’s matter, but for the few days 1 am in the mansion, I do not wish to see her again.”
Everyone knew who she was referring to.
Xue Ru knew that too.
She never thought that things would turn out this way. Although she was the illegitimate daughter of the Xue family, being the only daughter of the Xue family, in this Qingzhou, she had always gotten her way. This was the first time she was so rejected.
Xue Ru’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. She looked at Xiao Nanye and subconsciously said, “Your Highness, where do 1 fall short compared to Jiang Peihuan, I…”
“Shut up!”
Before Xue Ru could finish her sentence, Xue Tao interrupted her with a cold glare.
Xue Ru still wanted to say something, but seeing Xue Tao’s angry face, she kept quiet.
And when Xiao Nanye heard this, he finally spoke, but his words made Xue Ru’s already unpleasant face look even worse.
Looking at Xue Ru, Xiao Nanye spoke in a calm tone, “On what basis do you compare with Huan Er? In my eyes, you’re not even comparable to one of her fingers.”
Xue Ru looked shocked when she heard this. Afraid that she might anger Xiao Nanye further, Xue Tao told Xue Zhi and Xue Zhan to take her away.
“Take her back to her room. Nobody can let her out without my permission.”
“Yes, father,” said Xue Zhi and Xue Zhan, taking Xue Ru away quickly.
When Xue Ru was gone, Xiao Nanye told Xue Tao, “General Xue, it’s late. You should rest early.”
From Xiao Nanye’s words, it felt like nothing bad had happened before.
But no one from the Xue family dared to say another word and left immediately.
Just before Jiang Peihuan arrived, they had seen Xiao Nanye’s momentum and demeanor, which made them finally understood who he really was.
After the Xue family left, Jiang Peihuan told Xiao Nanye, “It’s late, you should go to sleep. I’m leaving too.”
Just as she was about to leave, her hand was held by the man beside her.
“Huan Er, are you angry?”
Xiao Nanye asked in a careful tone. Jiang Peihuan was indeed a little upset, but not at Xiao Nanye, but because of Xue Ru.
In the end, Jiang Peihuan told Xiao Nanye, “Why would 1 be angry? My future husband is so handsome and charming, 1 should be happy.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll always be the only one in my heart.”
“I only belong to you. 1 won’t let any other women touch me.”
After Jiang Peihuan spoke, Xiao Nanye responded.
At first, Jiang Peihuan thought Xiao Nanye was just trying to make her feel better. But she saw that he was serious.
Immediately, the little discomfort in her heart disappeared.
Looking at Xiao Nanye, she told him, “It’s late, you should rest.”
“Stay with me a little longer.”
When Xiao Nanye heard this, he responded quickly. But Jiang Peihuan shook her head, “No, I need to sleep early tonight, I have to get up early tomorrow.” “What do you need to get up early for?”
“My grandma was poisoned by rosemary. To cure her, I need fresh roots of a plant called Hundred Grass Root. I’m going to Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow to get them.”
“Then, 1 will go with you tomorrow morning.”
Jiang Peihuan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the man’s determined expression, she nodded her head.
After confirming the time with Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan left the bamboo garden and went to her own courtyard.
Nearby, in the Hua Garden, someone was shouting.
“You, it’s all your fault…”
Xue Ru was hurting the maid kneeling in front of her. The young maid, full of tears, didn’t dare to resist and could only shiver and try to avoid her.
Seeing her attempt to evade, Xue Ru intensified her strength, “You lowly servant, you dare to hide, you…”
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly, the door opened, and Wang Fengyi walked in.
When Xue Ru saw her, she ran to her, “Mother, you’re finally here. Let me out, please.”
“You should stay in your room for now.”
Wang Fengyi sat on a chair, looked at Xue Ru and spoke softly.
Xue Ru looked shocked when she heard this. She whispered, “Mother, aren’t you going to help me?”
“King Cheng already said that he doesn’t want to see you. Until he leaves the Xue Mansion, you need to stay in your room.”
Upon hearing Xue Ru’s words, Wang Fengyi responded directly.
Xue Ru was the daughter of Wang Fengyi’s maid. Originally, Wang Fengyi didn’t like Xue Ru. But when her mother died giving birth to her, Wang Fengyi took care of her.
In addition, Xue Ru is the only daughter of the Xue family, so Wang Fengyi is quite good to her.
But what happened tonight made Wang Fengyi upset with Xue Ru..
