Chapter 277 Rejected
Fortunately, the nanny guarding the door had received instructions in advance, and when she saw the Fifth Prince coming, she hurried into the house to inform him.
He watched the lights in the room light up one by one, and waited for a while before someone opened the door and welcomed the Fifth Prince in.
Xinrong sat at the table with his head propped up and his eyes closed, resting. When he heard the Fifth Prince come in, he said softly, "Fifth Prince, just say whatever you want to say."
At this moment, Yongqi suddenly realized that it was already very late and Xinrong must be very tired. Yongqi suddenly felt a little guilty.
He sat down at the table and coughed lightly. His tone was no longer as cold as before. "Well, I'm here to apologize on behalf of Xiaoyanzi. You know she's upset about our wedding today. I'll keep her in check from now on. Don't be too angry."
Xinrong nodded. She didn't care whether he apologized or not.
If Xiaoyanzi dares to act up again, she will naturally discipline her.
Seeing that Xinrong didn't want to pay attention to him, the Fifth Prince guessed that she might be tired, so he quickly said: "Let's live a good life as a family in the future. I hope you won't tell Mother about what happened today."
Then, as if making a difficult decision, Yongqi took a deep breath and said quickly, "I'll stay at your place tonight. If Mother asks about it, I'll need your help to smooth things over."
As if afraid that Xinrong might misunderstand, Yongqi quickly added, "I'll sleep on the small couch next to you."
Actually, just to say this, Xinrong immediately stood up and said, "No need."
Before, she let the Fifth Prince stay in her room just to save face, but now she should be grateful to Xiaoyanzi for causing such a scene, which helped her establish her prestige.
The servants in the mansion are not blind. If the Fifth Prince still stays here after such a commotion, it will only make the matter more obvious.
Was he rejected?
The Fifth Prince didn't expect Xinrong to refuse so bluntly. He thought he had misheard and was a little panicked for a moment, "I really want to get along well with you!"
It was a nice thing to say, but he was just afraid that she would complain to Concubine Yu. Xinrong waved his hands and kept walking, "Don't worry, I won't complain."
She had to go back to sleep while she was still sleepy.
Seeing Xinrong leave, the maids immediately stepped forward and politely drove him away, "Fifth Prince, let us escort you out."
Yongqi didn't expect that he would be driven away after coming here, and he felt mixed emotions for a moment.
It was obvious that he was extremely reluctant before coming and was extremely upset. Now that he was rejected, he didn't feel relieved, but actually felt a slight sense of loss?
Yongqi was still not aware of his emotions. He was walking alone on the path, just a little unhappy.
The little maid who held the lamp for him could clearly feel the low pressure on the Fifth Prince. She didn't know what the Fifth Prince and his wife had said, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was rejected.
The little maidservant silently lit a candle for the Fifth Prince in her heart.
She had just been bought and was not aware of the grievances between her masters, but even if she was ignorant, she knew that the actions of the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi today must have made the Concubine Fu Jin very angry.
The little maidservant did not sympathize with the Fifth Prince for being driven out. Instead, she wanted to secretly say to the Lady that she had done a good job!
How could he bring a woman from outside back home to cause trouble on his wedding night? Any wife would be angry.
Yongqi returned to his own courtyard. Xiaoyanzi was still awake and waiting for him.
Seeing Yongqi coming back, Xiaoyanzi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't go to consummate his marriage with that woman, it would be fine.
But after she had completely let go of her worries, Xiaoyanzi's grievances surged up again. "Yongqi! I feel so wronged today. I'm only staying here for one night. I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Yongqi thought Xiaoyanzi was going back to Huibinlou, so he nodded. "Yes, you go back to Huibinlou first and wait for three days. After three days, I will welcome you home in style, okay?"
"No!" Xiaoyanzi cried and pushed Yongqi. "Who wants to enter your house?! I've already broken off my friendship with Liu Qing and Liu Hong just to snatch you away today. Tomorrow morning I'll be wandering around the world, leaving the capital forever! Either you come with me, or you'll never see me again!"
Upon hearing this, Yongqi immediately hugged Xiaoyanzi in panic, "Xiaoyanzi, you can't leave. You know I can't abandon my mother and leave. Just think of it as doing this for my own good. Now that we can open a mansion, it's already the best I've done. Here, no one will control us in the future. We can still be as happy as we were during the Southern Tour."
But Xiaoyanzi was already heartbroken by the Fifth Prince, "I don't want to. You already have a wife, do you want me to be your concubine?"
Yongqi couldn't answer this question. After all, he was the one who was sorry for Xiaoyanzi, but he also had his grievances and helplessness.
Do you really want him to force his mother to death just to be with Xiaoyanzi?
"Xiaoyanzi, you don't know how much pain I've been going through these past few days. Ever since I returned to the palace that day, I've been in constant pain. My mother threatened to die to force me to marry Xinrong, and I, I..."
As he spoke, Yongqi actually started crying. Who knew the pain in his heart these days?
"I have a thousand apologies to say to you. I know you're sad that you can't see me outside the palace, but I'm also suffering in the palace, especially seeing my mother lying lifeless on the bed. I wish I could take her place. It's all my fault for not being obedient, which led to my mother's suicide."
Hearing Yongqi say this, Xiaoyanzi seemed to see the scene in Yonghe Palace that day. Tears fell from her eyes. "I know, I understand your pain, but I am in pain too. When I think about you having a wife in the future and no longer belonging to me, I am so sad that I almost die. That's why I want to stay away from the capital, away from you, maybe I won't be so sad."
Yongqi hugged Xiaoyanzi tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear in the next second. "Xiaoyanzi, I still belong to you. My heart and my whole being belong to you. In fact, I told Xinrong a long time ago that I would not consummate my marriage with her. She is only my wife in name. The wife in my heart is you, my only woman, and you are also my wife!"
Hearing Yongqi say this, Xiaoyanzi finally calmed down a little, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true, Xiaoyanzi. Actually, Xinrong is quite good. She understands our difficulties and won't get in our way."
Now Yongqi wishes Xinrong and Xiaoyanzi could become good sisters right away, so that he can have a truly harmonious family and everything will be prosperous.
But Xiaoyanzi is quite vindictive. "I don't believe it. She just said it nicely. She even had someone beat me up today in front of so many people. My face is still swollen!"
Mentioning this, Yongqi sighed again, "You really went too far in scolding her today. Xinrong didn't do anything wrong. She even took the initiative to tell me that she would treat you well in the future. You must not be so reckless in the future, understand?"
Hearing Yongqi still speaking up for Xinrong, Xiaoyanzi fiercely shook off Yongqi's hand, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm wrong again? She stole my husband and my position as my wife. She should take it when I scold her. She deserves the scolding!"
