Chapter 245 Yunwei's legs went weak
"Your Highness?" Sang Qing hadn't received a reply from Yun Wei for a long time, so he raised his voice and asked again.

Yunwei snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Please, Princess Xuanyuan, have a seat in the front hall. I'll be right there." With that, she blushed, pushed the man standing in front of her away slightly, and fastened his belt back on.

A shadow fell over Rong Zhen's handsome face. He held the woman who had jumped to the ground tightly in his arms from behind, his voice low and hoarse, "It hurts."

He held her tightly, and Yunwei's legs went weak.

She already sensed it...

She steadied herself and said, "We have guests, please don't be like this..." But as soon as she spoke, she found that her voice was soft and seductive.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Rong Zhen tightened his arms around her waist.

Yunwei felt that if things continued like this, she wouldn't be able to leave this study.

She tried hard to control her excitement, then suddenly turned around, hugged the man, and whispered in his ear on tiptoe, "I'll give it to you tonight."

Rong Zhen's arm around her waist tensed instantly. He raised one hand, pressed it against the back of the woman's head, and lowered his head to forcefully kiss her lips.

……

When Yunwei finally came out of the study and rushed to the front hall, Xuanyuan Jing had already finished a cup of tea.

Seeing that she arrived late, she immediately pouted, "Sister Yun, where have you been? Why are you only coming now? I thought you didn't want to see me."

Yunwei said somewhat nervously, "How could that be? It's just that some things took a while."

"What's the matter?" Xuan Yuanjing asked curiously. "You and the Regent are newlyweds, so you shouldn't have anything else to do, right? I wanted to come see you during the day, but considering that you went back to your parents' home in the morning, I had to change my plans to come see you in the evening."

Yunwei gave a dry laugh and sat down in her seat.

Isn't that just the bliss of newlyweds?
She has experienced this firsthand these past two days.

She never knew Rong Zhen could be so clingy.

Recalling what had just happened in the study, she felt a tightness in her throat and a dense, itchy sensation throughout her body, making her very uncomfortable.

"You've come to see me at this hour, is there something you need?" To divert attention, Yun Wei's gaze fell on Xuan Yuan Jing.

Xuan Yuanjing said, "It's like this, Pei Qing, he..." Her voice paused, and staring at her swollen red lips, she suddenly exclaimed, "Why are your lips so swollen?"

Feeling guilty, Yunwei accidentally knocked over the teacup beside her.

In an instant, the tea spilled all over the table.

"Somebody come!"

Yunwei called out quickly.

Servants immediately came in and cleaned the table.

"You just mentioned Pei Qing, what happened to Pei Qing?" Yun Wei asked.

Distracted, Xuan Yuanjing forgot what she was talking about and said with a depressed look, "That guy Pei Qing was supposed to accompany Old Madam Pei to the villa for a stroll yesterday, but he disappeared in the time it took me to turn around, and he hasn't come back yet today."

What do you mean by that? Do you not want to marry me?

Yun Wei: "..."

So when I met Pei Qing at the Prince's villa yesterday, was Xuan Yuanjing actually there too?

No wonder Pei Qing agreed to help Rong Zhen so readily later; now it seems that it was perhaps to avoid Xuan Yuanjing.

The fact that Xuanyuan Jing pursued Pei Qing and even managed to appease Old Madam Pei is now common knowledge in the capital.

The day before her wedding, she heard that Xuanyuan Jing had carried Pei Qing to see Old Madam Pei and finalized the marriage.

Therefore, Pei Qingyuan is now practically Xuan Yuanjing's fiancé.

She felt that if Pei Qing didn't like Xuan Yuanjing, then it wouldn't matter how much Old Madam Pei liked Xuan Yuanjing.

Since Pei Qing is willing to get engaged, it means that he must also have feelings for Xuan Yuan Jing.

That trip to Tongzhou was probably just her overthinking things; Pei Qing didn't go there to avoid Xuan Yuanjing.

Thinking of this, Yunwei said, "If he didn't want to marry you, he probably wouldn't have agreed to the engagement." Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Jing said with some hesitation, "But he doesn't seem entirely willing either..."

"What?" Yunwei asked, puzzled.

“That day I dragged him to see Madam Pei. Madam Pei declared that if Pei Qing didn’t marry me, she would kill herself in front of him, so…” Xuan Yuanjing said, her expression somewhat resentful.

Yun Wei: "..."

So, Pei Qing only agreed out of desperation?
So he hasn't returned from Tongzhou yet. Is it really because he's hiding from Xuanyuan Jing?

"Are you determined to marry no one but Pei Qing?" Yun Wei asked tactfully.

“That wasn’t originally the case, but now Madam Pei and I have become close friends despite our age difference. She can’t bear to part with me, and I can’t bear to part with her either, so I’m determined to marry no one but Pei Qing,” Xuan Yuanjing said earnestly.

Yun Wei: "..."

So she married Pei Qing just for the sake of Old Madam Pei?
She knew Madam Pei; she was a kind-faced old lady, gentle and polite, which explained why Xuan Yuanjing liked her so much.

“If that’s the case, why are you so concerned about whether Pei Qing doesn’t want to marry you? It seems his thoughts aren’t important to you,” Yun Wei said.

"Even so, I'm still a little annoyed. I'm so beautiful and so kind, how could he not like me? Is he blind?" Xuan Yuanjing said indignantly.

Yun Wei: "..."

"I'll stay at the Prince's Mansion tonight and won't be going back. Qingfeng, quickly have someone prepare a guest room for me to rest. Although Tongzhou is not far from the capital, my old back is about to break after making the round trip."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from outside the door.

Before Yunwei could react, Xuanyuan Jing, who had been sitting in the chair, suddenly rushed out in a flurry.

"Pei Qing, where have you been these past two days?"

Seeing the girl standing outside the front hall, hands on her hips, glaring at him angrily, Pei Qing instinctively turned to run, but she was faster, rushing over and grabbing his belt.

Pei Qing: "..."

He secretly groaned.

He simply didn't want to see her, which is why he came to the Regent's Palace as soon as he returned to the capital.

Unexpectedly, I ran into her at the Regent's Palace.

If he had known she was here, he wouldn't have come.

But he is, after all, the Minister of Rites; this girl is far too rude to him.

"Let go right now!" he commanded, his face darkening.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a loosening around his waist.

Looking down, he was surprised to find that his belt was gone, and his clothes were no longer restrained and were open.

Pei Qing: "..."

"To prevent you from running around again, I have to tie your hands up," Xuan Yuanjing said solemnly, holding a belt.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing quickly covered his robes with his hands and ran away without any regard for his image.

Xuanyuan Jing was not in a hurry at all.

Pei Qing was a weak scholar, powerless to even kill a chicken, and she could easily subdue him.

When Yunwei came out, she saw Xuanyuan Jing catch up with Pei Qing in three quick steps, then pin him against a pillar and tightly bind his hands with a belt.

Yun Wei: "..."

"Sister-in-law, please save me!" At this moment, Pei Qing saw her and hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Stop shouting, it won't do you any good no matter how hard you shout. Sister Yun is my friend, she won't side with you," Xuan Yuanjing said smugly.

Pei Qing: "..."
