Chapter 193 The Filthiest Trash
At first, he was dismissive of the portrait of Yu Wan that his mother and aunt had brought to his study.
How could a woman who had been wandering for many years and was uncouth be worthy of him?
What's more, she was a second-time bride.
But unable to resist his mother's pressure, he opened the portrait and glanced at it, his gaze immediately fixed on it.
Most women in Shengjing were reserved and gentle, and the world expected women to be demure and modest, never showing their teeth when they smiled.
But Yu Wan in the painting has lively eyes and a bright smile, especially her set of pearly white teeth that dazzle his heart.
He originally thought he only had that kind of impulse towards men.
But that day, just looking at Yu Wan's portrait, he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, and he felt a stirring in the place that women usually couldn't lift.
Therefore, everything he said just now was true.
He truly has feelings for Yu Wan, if she is willing to marry him.
He was willing to live a good life with her from now on.
Having children allowed her to be loved by her husband like any other woman, and to stay at home to support her husband and raise her children.
Xie Guanqing's gaze was sticky and disgusting. Yu Wan only glanced at it before she couldn't stand it and retreated.
She didn't even need to guess to know what was going on in the head of an arrogant and conceited man like Xie Guanqing.
He probably felt that it was a blessing for him to marry her, a divorced woman.
Wan Yuru and Xie Jingyao, who were standing nearby, also vaguely heard what Xie Guanqing said.
Wan Yuru's pretty face turned red with anger, but she was gentle by nature and no matter how angry she was, she dared not stand up for Yu Wan.
Xie Jingyao couldn't hold back and walked over to stand between Yu Wan and Xie Guanqing.
Xie Guanqing frowned as he looked at Xie Jingyao, who had suddenly stepped between him and Yu Wan, his voice full of displeasure, "What do you mean by this?"
Xie Jingyao completely shielded Yu Wan behind him and said with a smile, "Second brother, you've said enough to your cousin, haven't you? We're here to enjoy the lake and scenery today, so let's not waste such a beautiful view."
Xie Jingyao's words were quite polite.
If Xie Guanqing could understand, he wouldn't want to say anything too harsh.
However, Xie Guanqing did not realize Xie Jingyao's good intentions.
He frowned, his face full of displeasure as he reprimanded, "Xie Jingyao, my affairs are none of your business. I know very well why I'm here today."
The smile on Xie Jingyao's face gradually disappeared.
His gaze sharpened. "I only offer you kind advice because I respect that you are a few years older than me."
"Don't you realize you've offended your cousin?"
Xie Guanqing chuckled lightly, "What's it to you?"
"My affairs are none of your business."
The two started arguing back and forth.
“I’m doing this for her own good. She’s a woman who has been married before, and it’s already a great blessing for her to be able to enter my Xie family.”
"I don't think my cousin needs this blessing."
"What do you know? She's a woman abandoned by her ex-husband. It's already her good fortune to have found a good family like mine. If it weren't for my mother's sake, I wouldn't even give her a second glance!"
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
A furious shout startled the other three people on the pleasure boat.
Wan Yuru and Yu Baozhu were both shocked.
Yu Wan's eyes lit up slightly, the look of someone who had found a kindred spirit.
Xie Guanqing was also stunned by Xie Jingyao's sudden outburst of profanity.
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Xie Jingyao, you...you dare to speak to me like that!"
He trembled slightly with anger, pointing his finger at Xie Jingyao with a cold look in his eyes.
Xie Jingyao showed no fear. He stepped forward and approached Xie Guanqing.
They lowered their voices, but the pleasure boat was only so big, so Yu Wan and Wan Yuru secretly strained their ears to listen and heard Xie Jingyao's words clearly.
"You look down on your cousin for being married twice, but weren't you also married twice yourself?"
"The woman in front of me, who was perfectly fine, suddenly fell ill and became bedridden. Perhaps it's because you, cousin, are cursed to bring misfortune to your wife."
"With a reputation for being a jinx to wives, which noble family in the vast capital of Shengjing would dare to marry their daughter to you, cousin?"
If it weren't for Xie Guanqing's face turning pale with anger, Yu Wan would have liked to applaud Xie Jingyao in front of everyone.
She gave Xie Jingyao a meaningful look.
Brother, if you can talk, then talk more.
Xie Jingyao probably understood what Yu Wan meant, and a sheepish smile appeared on his face.
"You, you—" Xie Guanqing stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.
Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared angrily, "You...you dare to make false accusations! What evidence do you have to slander me like this?"
Xie Jingyao sneered, "Evidence? Cousin, didn't you hear those rumors in the manor back then? My sister-in-law was healthy before the marriage, but she fell ill after entering the manor. Is that just a coincidence?"
Yu Wan listened from the side and silently added a sentence to him in her mind.
It's certainly not a coincidence.
Princess Huian of the Yingwang Mansion died of depression because she could not accept the fact that her husband was unresponsive to women and had a preference for male homosexuality.
But Xie Jingyao was clearly unaware of this.
Yu Wan couldn't help but wonder if there was something fishy going on in the Kangping Marquis's mansion.
To outsiders, Xie Guanqing, the eldest son of the Kangping Marquis's family, was an exceptional husband, especially during the mourning period for the Princess of Huian.
Once the mourning period is over, even if Xie Guanqing marries a second wife, there will likely be no shortage of suitors coming to his door.
Otherwise, even if Li Moqing had ill intentions, Lady Kangping should not have been so anxious about Xie Guanqing's marriage.
A matriarch like her would probably look down on a woman like her who hasn't learned proper etiquette and manners.
Yu Wan bluntly stated that there was something fishy going on here.
Xie Guanqing, as if his secret had been exposed, flew into a rage, "Xie Jingyao, how dare you slander me like this!"
He knew all too well how the Princess of Huian had died.
She initially found him disgusting, and when he got angry, he hit her.
Later, whenever Princess Huian looked at him with strange eyes, he couldn't help but take action against her.
In fact, he didn't want to lay a hand on her, and he regretted it every time he did.
She only has herself to blame; why did she find him disgusting?
Xie Guanqing was lost in his memories and subconsciously turned his head to look behind Xie Jingyao.
Yu Wan stepped behind Xie Jingyao and happened to meet Xie Guanqing's gaze.
When Xie Guanqing saw her eyes, he immediately thought of Princess Huian.
Princess Huian initially looked at him with disgust, as if he were a repulsive pest.
Then came vigilance, always on guard, worried that he might strike again;
As she lay dying, her eyes were filled with disdain, as if to say that she looked down on him.
So at the last moment, he smothered Huian to death with his own hands.
At this moment, he saw the same look in Yu Wan's eyes as in Hui An's.
Disdain, wariness, and contempt were directed at him as if he were the dirtiest piece of trash.
Xie Guanqing's face instantly twisted into a ferocious expression.
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain.
The long-suppressed anger burned wildly in his heart, and his breathing became rapid and heavy, like an enraged beast ready to break free of its cage and pounce on its prey.
Everyone was startled by his sudden change of expression.
Xie Jingyao instinctively reached out to shield Yu Wan behind him, and said angrily, "Xie Guanqing, what kind of expression is that?"
"You bitch!"
Xie Guanqing roared, his eyes fixed on Yu Wan.
He shoved Xie Jingyao away abruptly.
Xie Jingyao had never practiced martial arts, and was facing Xie Guanqing who had lost his mind. He was pushed so hard that he stumbled and almost fell off the pleasure boat into the lake!
He quickly grabbed the railing and said anxiously, "Cousin Wan, be careful!"
Xie Guanqing's eyes revealed madness and determination as he charged straight at Yu Wan!
