Chapter 229 Which nunnery do you like?
Lu Huaiyang frowned slightly, looked at Xie Wanning, and said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to become a monk? Why are you dying now? What do you want?"
Xie Wan Ning was stunned and stopped crying abruptly. She looked at Lu Huaiyang in disbelief and surprise, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
It seemed as if he didn't understand why Lu Huaiyang was so cruel.
This was completely different from what she expected.
Lu Huaiyang looked at him with a serious expression, and said solemnly, "Today is Dean Xie's birthday. It would be unlucky if you died."
"Why don't you become a monk? For Brother Chengye's sake, I can find you a safe and reliable nunnery. What do you think?"
Xie Wan Ning: “…”
Xie Chengye: “…”
No, what does he mean?
Xie Chengye was standing aside, watching Xie Wanning's sad but unsure look. He felt sorry for her for a moment, frowned and looked at Lu Huaiyang, unable to help but say, "Brother Huaiyang, you...how could you let my sister down like this?"
"She doesn't care about her status, and is willing to be a concubine, just to follow you."
"After all, she has been waiting for you for so many years. Considering her devotion... just give me some face."
Xie Chengye felt a little uncomfortable when he said these words. He looked at Lu Huaiyang and sighed, his tone and voice a little uneasy: "Brother Huaiyang, Wan Ning has been waiting for you for so many years, and you haven't decided on a marriage yet. You...why not, just take her in."
"She doesn't want the position of the principal wife. All she wants is for you to give her a reason to settle down and make a living. This can also be regarded as an explanation for her waiting for you for all these years. What do you think?"
Lu Huaiyang's face was now completely gloomy. When he looked at Xie Chengye, his eyes showed a bit of helplessness and speechlessness.
He frowned and glared at Xie Chengye, sighed silently, and said, "Brother Chengye, if I didn't know you well, I would really think that you wanted to send this woman to me in exchange for a more stable relationship with me."
Xie Chengye frowned and looked at Lu Huaiyang with surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Lu Huaiyang would say that.
Lu Huaiyang's face turned a bit colder. If he had said before that Xie Wan Ning might have some true feelings for him, he would have planned to find a good place for her.
Ever since he learned about Ye Nanyan's life experience, his people had already found out Xie Wanning's purpose.
She was just afraid that her identity would be exposed, and she wanted to wait for him to come back, which would be the best outcome.
"She asked you to invite me to the backyard. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the reputations of the other members of the Xie family, and what will happen to my reputation?"
Lu Huaiyang's face was icy cold, and his tone was even colder: "Brother Chengye, have you ever thought about how sad my wife would be if this were to get out? What would happen to your Xie family and my reputation?"
"I have not received any decree regarding my current status. If this kind of thing gets out, how will my father view me?"
Lu Huaiyang's expression had turned extremely cold, and he looked at Xie Wanning in front of him with a chilling gaze: "If she really loves me so much, she must be thinking about me."
"If she is really a good woman, she should consider the Xie family and you, Chengye."
"But, this, this..." Xie Chengye was stunned by what Lu Huaiyang said. He stammered and didn't know how to refute for a while.
Xie Wan Ning was also stunned, looking at Lu Huaiyang in surprise and disbelief. She didn't expect that he would say such a heartless thing.
Xie Wan Ning still held onto a glimmer of hope and expectation. She gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Huaiyang, her eyes tearful and pitiful. "I've waited for you, my prince, for so many years. You're the only one in my heart. Is this how you see me?"
"I didn't think that much. I just wanted to fight for myself and express my love to the prince."
"Oh?" Lu Huaiyang sneered, and his eyes turned even colder as he looked at Xie Wanning: "Then do you know why you were grounded?"
Xie Wan Ning choked and was unable to answer.
Lu Huaiyang looked at Xie Wanning with indifference and disgust in his eyes, as if he was looking at someone who was extremely disgusting.
Lu Huaiyang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't act like I've let you down. This marriage wasn't originally for you. It was for the real eldest daughter of the Xie family."
"You should have known it all in your heart a long time ago, but you still insist on waiting. You know why best."
"To use these tricks now will only make you look ridiculous. You can only use these tricks to deceive Brother Chengye. Since you are under house arrest, you should think about the consequences of being discovered."
"Mr. Lu is right."
Suddenly, Liu's voice came from behind. She brought a maid and two maids with her. She glanced at Xie Chengye coldly and ordered the two strong maids behind her: "Come on, gag Miss Wan Ning and take her back!"
"Madam, why are you here?" Xie Chengye was a little surprised to see Liu suddenly appear.
Especially when he saw the coldness in the eyes of Liu, who was usually gentle and virtuous, he found it unbelievable and swallowed his saliva in fear.
Liu glanced at Xie Chengye with cold eyes and said, "You idiot, you are so soft-hearted. I will settle the score with you later."
She doesn't even need to settle the score. If her mother-in-law and father-in-law knew about it, they would definitely teach him a lesson.
Liu took two deep breaths, supported her swollen belly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and bowed to Lu Huaiyang. "Excuse me, Master Lu. Chengye was confused for a moment and disturbed you. Now no one has noticed. I have asked everyone to watch the way out so that I won't run into anyone."
"If Mr. Lu is in a hurry, I will have someone escort him out right away."
Lu Huaiyang nodded, looked at Liu with appreciation, then turned to look at Xie Chengye who was still confused, and couldn't help shaking his head.
I got close to Xie Chengye in the beginning because he was simple and well-educated.
Now it seems that I have really become stupid because I read too much.
Xie Wan Ning wanted to say something else, but the two maids beside Liu were no pushovers. They quickly stepped forward, one of them pressed Xie Wan Ning up, the other covered her mouth, and dragged her to Xie Wan Ning's own yard.
"Wan Ning, Wan Ning..." Xie Chengye was a little panicked.
The virtuous look on Liu's face faded once again, and she glanced coldly at Xie Chengye: "Shut up! Why don't you go and serve the guests? I'll tell Dad later. If you have any questions, just ask him yourself."
Liu suppressed her anger, and her personal maid hurriedly supported her: "Young Madam, don't be angry. Be careful of the child."
Liu took two deep breaths and nodded: "Well, let's not get angry with that wood, let's go back first."
Liu then said to Lu Huaiyang, "Mr. Lu, take the road from the north gate. You won't run into anyone else."
Lu Huaiyang nodded, then nodded towards Liu: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
After that, he turned around and left.
