Chu Nianhe felt that his strength had been loosened a little, and his panic calmed down a little.
“Seventh Prince, this is in our Chu Mansion, not your prince’s mansion. If you really do something bad to me today, your frivolous wife and sister will spread throughout the streets and alleys, and even into the emperor’s ears. Are you really not afraid?”
Her voice was crisp, and Yan Lichen’s eyes flashed again when she heard it. But then he added some force on his hand, and his eyes were ruthless and said, “Chu Nianhe, don’t think that I would compromise with you again and again! My status is not as good as before. Even the fourth brother would be appointed as a prince after returning from the battlefield. Do you think I have anything to be afraid of?”
When he said this, his eyes and expressions were filled with irrepressible pain. Chu Nianhe has been with him for so many years, but he has never seen him show such an expression. Thinking of his sinister and decisive appearance before her death, Chu Nianhe’s heart inexplicably felt a little happy.
She stared into his eyes and admired the despair in his eyes for a while. After finally seeing enough, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.
“Your Highness, do you know why I treat Chu Leyan like this?”
Yan Lichen, who was still immersed in his thoughts, did not recover for a moment, and just looked at her in confusion and said, “Why?”
Chu Nianhe bit her lip and said softly:
“If you want to know, let me go first.”
Yan Lichen did not insist on doing anything to her. When she heard her talk like this, the power at hand was unconsciously relaxed. He straightened up, looked down at her face, and said in a deep tone: “Tell me.”
Chu Nianhe naturally knew what he was thinking. To put it nicely, everything that happened today was Chu Nianhe who accidentally implicated the innocent Yan Lichen. To put it bluntly, she intended to pull the couple into the water and embarrass them together.
She hesitated for a moment and spoke righteously.
“If Your Highness knows something about me, he probably knows that I am jealous of evil, right?”
Yan Lichen’s eyes flashed: “So what?”
“So what?”
Chu Nianhe couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile. Her fingers were as white as jade, making her face look even more petite and lovely. In addition, her eyes were so bright that there was no trace of impurities, which made her look fresh and refined, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Yan Lichen looked at him coldly, and although he told himself not to think randomly, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
Looking at the greedy look in his eyes, Chu Nianhe couldn’t help feeling really disgusted.But she still covered her emotions and said softly, “Your Highness may not know that your new concubine sent my father to the palace to me and detained the letter to me privately, just to make me look ugly today. In fact, these are nothing. She has always been a show-off, and I don’t want to care about her, but today is my mother’s birthday. She does this…it’s too much to be punished!”
Her eyes were obvious contempt, which made Yan Lichen feel a sense of shame. His macho personality made him feel that his concubine had caused trouble outside. Even if he had a bad relationship with Chu Leyan, he would fill his sense of shame in his heart.
“I…”
His tone changed significantly, and his eyes flashed a little: “I didn’t expect her to do such a thing, Nianhe…”
He was impulsive and actually reached out to hold her hand. Chu Nianhe immediately flashed away, separating him from a safe distance, but the sense of alienation in his eyes did not fade away at all.
