Chapter 351 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 47
Mingnan looked at his aggressive posture and it didn't seem like a joke; he was really going to fight Lu Feiyu to the death!
She quickly stood up and hugged Xie Wuyu's waist from behind, comforting him, "No, no, no, don't be impulsive, there's no need."
"You rushed over and killed someone for no reason. If they report you to the police, I will have to go to the prison to get you out. The emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when he breaks the law. Do you want me to be a widow?"
Xie Wu Yu's body was tense, even his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound, he looked like he was ready to strike.
Mingnan had never seen him so angry. She had no doubt that if Lu Feiyu was standing in front of him at this moment, he would immediately rush up and stab the person into a sieve.
She couldn't find any words to comfort him for a moment, so she could only call his name softly.
"Wu Yu Wu Yu, the person who named you must have hoped that you would be safe and live a long life."
These words touched Xie Wu Yu, and his tense body gradually relaxed. After a long time, he held Ming Nan's hand and gently broke away from her arms, turned around and took the initiative, hugging her tightly in his arms.
Although he still didn't speak, Mingnan could feel the change in his mood.
He was not jealous, just simply heartbroken and angry.
Mingnan was quite moved. He raised his head and kissed him lightly on his chin, then moved to his lips little by little.
Xie Wu Yu paused for a moment, but he didn't refuse. When she kissed him, he took her in his mouth obediently and kissed her gently, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
It took a while for the kiss to become passionate and intense.
……
After the kiss, both of them felt a little breathless, but their emotions miraculously calmed down.
Xie Wu Yu sat back on the couch, took Ming Nan's hand and pulled her in front of him, let her sit on his lap with her back to him, and sniffed her neck like a cat.
Mingnan laughed, "Do you want to absorb Yang Qi too?"
Xie Wu Yu snorted, "What? You don't want to suck it?"
Mingnan quickly deflated the pufferfish and said, "Let it go, let it go, how dare you not let it go?"
Xie Wu Yu took two more puffs, kissed her earlobe and said, "You have really bad taste."
Mingnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Aren't you scolding yourself too?"
Xie Wu Yu: "I mean your last life, this life is barely better."
As he was talking, he got angry again, turned Mingnan's face and asked, "In your previous life, you gave up on me because of such a piece of shit?"
Mingnan raised his hand and clarified, "I didn't give up on you. I gave up on choosing a legal husband. At that time, I didn't even know you. I hadn't even met you. When I heard that Lu Feiyu was sick, I hurried back home. I didn't choose anyone. It wasn't targeting you."
After hearing her say this, Xie Wu Yu's expression looked a little better.
Mingnan poked his face and said, "I was reborn this time just in time for the husband selection. At that time, I didn't even think of choosing you. I just wanted to choose a legal husband. But after seeing you, I had no other choice. I want you, and only you."
The truth is more touching than love words.
Xie Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, his heartbeat speeding up uncontrollably.
Just as he said, he couldn't help but mind Mingnan and Lu Feiyu's past, but what he cared about was not that Mingnan liked Lu Feiyu, but that she chose him. Did she do it because she was disheartened and just picked someone at random, or did she break with the past and wanted to start over, so she chose him?
Of these two, the former proves that she still has Lu Feiyu in her heart, while the latter shows that she has completely let it go and it is a careful choice she made after careful consideration.
What he wants is a complete relationship, not a compromise out of helplessness.
The answer given by Mingnan completely dispelled his concerns.
The sweet peach scent filled the air again. Xie Wuyu bit Mingnan's lips in this position. Although he was extremely happy, he still had to be reserved and said proudly, "This is more like it."
"So what are your plans next? They've humiliated you so much, you can't just write it off and let it go, right?"
Xie Wu Yu still couldn't swallow his anger when he mentioned Lu Feiyu and Ming Jin.
The person he held dear to his heart, afraid to shed a tear for, had suffered such a miserable end in his previous life.
He felt suffocated just by listening to it, and didn't dare to think about it at all.
Mingnan is magnanimous and can forgive them, but he is not. He holds grudges and is petty, and he wants to get back at this debt no matter what.
Mingnan got off him, sat aside, held his hand and said, "Of course I won't just let it go. In my previous life, the Crown Princess and I were fighting, and they got the advantage. In this life, I will make them spit out everything they got."
"How to vomit?" Xie Wuyu's eyes immediately lit up with anticipation.
Mingnan's lips curled slightly, "Of course, we should start with what they want the most. It is the most torturous torture in the world to be unable to obtain what is within reach."
Xie Wu Yu's eyes rolled and he immediately understood.
"Is there any movement from Cui Qing's side?"
Mingnan nodded, pushed the teacup in front of him, took one and drank two sips, and said slowly: "Even a clay figure has some temper, not to mention Cui Qing is not a real clay figure, and the Cui family is not so easy to control. Let's just wait and see."
……
After the birthday, the Xu family felt bored and left in a hurry early the next morning.
Mingnan did not try to keep them, and personally sent them out with Xie Wuyu. He did his best to save their reputation, and the Xu family couldn't say anything. They could only vent their complaints when they returned to their ancestral home.
But no one cared by then.
As soon as the Xu family left, Feng Jun sent someone to invite Mingnan and Xie Wuyu to the palace for a chat.
He was obviously afraid that Mingnan and the Xu family would get in touch again and get out of his control.
Mingnan knew that he was extremely suspicious, so he only talked about the things he cared about, and pretended to complain about the Xu family's gift of gifts, but in fact he was giving him a reminder.
She said that she had boasted in front of him and the emperor that she would no longer be obsessed with men, but they were still obsessed with finding her a husband. Wasn't this forcing her to break her rules and ruining her reputation?
She joked that she would never fall for it and rejected Old Lady Xu on the spot.
After hearing this, Feng Jun's mind was mixed. He knew that she was reminding him not to send more people to her, otherwise they would be the next ones to fall out.
So he tactfully did not mention the matter again and instead talked about the flood problem in the south.
There has been extra heavy rain in the south this year, causing disasters in many places and widespread complaints from the people.
The emperor wanted to provide disaster relief, but the treasury was empty and he couldn't come up with much money, so he was worried about it.
The Crown Princess then called on officials to donate money.
But no official wanted to be the first to speak out at this time. Even if they had money, they would say they had none and kept crying poor, fearing that they would be targeted by the emperor.
Mingnan said sympathetically, "How difficult is this? As the daughter of the empress, I should set an example for the ministers and share the worries of the empress and my elder sister. It just so happens that I received a wave of birthday gifts a few days ago. I will cash them all in and use them as disaster relief money. I will also add some money from my own private treasury, hoping to help the people get through this difficult time."
Xie Wuyu also expressed his opinion: "I am also willing to take out two cents from my dowry to help you share your worries."
Feng Jun was overjoyed and kept praising them for being sensible. He also kept them for lunch before letting them leave.
After returning home, Mingnan and Xie Wuyu immediately called Zhou Xingzhi and asked her to take people to count the silver and gifts in the warehouse, sell them, exchange them, and convert them into silver to be sent to the East Palace.
At the morning court the next day, the Crown Princess spoke publicly about Mingnan's righteous act. The Emperor was very pleased and praised them highly.
The officials took advantage of the situation and realized that the emperor had no intention of investigating the source of the money and would not hold them accountable later, so they began to pay out of their own pockets.
Finally, the Crown Princess took the relief money and went to the disaster area to comfort the people.
Mingnan secretly sent people to keep an eye on and protect the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess herself valued her life very much, so wherever she went, she was accompanied by a team of attendants with high martial arts skills, leaving no room for anyone to take advantage of her.
It took her three months to completely solve all the flood problems before she returned from the south.
As Mingjin was pregnant, it was not suitable for her to travel far, so she secretly put many obstacles in the way of the Crown Princess, but they were all cleverly resolved as if with divine help.
This made Mingjin quite depressed.
After three months of experience in the south, the Crown Princess won the hearts of the people, her reputation and status were greatly improved, and her foundation in the court became deeper and more unshakable.
Ming Jin had no choice but to temporarily hide from the spotlight, keeping a low profile under the pretext of nurturing the pregnancy, and moving the struggle to a dark and invisible place.
