Was Chapter 1310 truly an accident?
With the Imperial Guards and Phoenix Feather Guards clearing the way, the onlookers on both sides silently stepped back and made way. Su Yueyao walked at the front, and the others followed silently behind her.
Once everyone arrived in the courtyard, Cui Yiyang and Nanfeng gestured for the Imperial Guards and Phoenix Feather Guards to surround the courtyard.
Su Yueyao sat down wearily on the stone bench in the courtyard and looked at Wenren Qichi at the back. Just as she was about to say something, Wenren Qichi staggered and knelt down as if he couldn't hold on any longer. The servants beside him hurriedly helped him up.
"Son!"
Su Yueyao frowned as she looked at him, then glanced at Cheng Yan, who was huddled to the side: "Cheng Yan, you personally escort him back to his room and have Cheng Yao give him a proper check-up!"
Cheng Yan looked a little weak, then immediately nodded, walked up to Wenren Qichi, pulled him up, and said to Su Yueyao, "My lady, I'll take him back right away."
Wenren Qichi, kneeling on the ground, gently refused Cheng Yan's help and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Majesty... I didn't mean to expose anything in public. I really want to leave Xuanming Temple. I didn't know you would appear at the entrance of the main hall at this hour. If I had known, I would have left earlier."
Hearing his words, Cheng Yan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Heh, it's better to leave early and not run into the wife. You have experts behind you. Have them take you back without going through the main gate."
"What a coincidence that the wife ran into you just as she was about to return to her courtyard?"
Upon hearing Cheng Yan's words, Wenren Qichi immediately explained anxiously, "My people have all been assigned to other tasks, and I'm injured and can't use my internal energy, so... Lady Su, please believe me, I really didn't mean to."
"You didn't do it on purpose, you did it on purpose!" Cheng Yan sneered.
Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Su Yueyao narrowed her eyes slightly, stood up, walked to him, bent down to look into his eyes, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you telling the truth? It wasn't intentional? You're not lying to me? It really was an accident?"
Seeing that Wenren Qichi wanted to speak, Su Yueyao continued, "You need to give me a clear and definite answer. I hate being lied to the most, even if it's under the guise of doing it for my own good. I don't like it."
"If I find out later that you were behind this, you won't be allowed into my backyard."
Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Wenren Qichi's eyes did not waver at all, and he said firmly, "Lady Su, I swear that I did not intentionally appear today to mislead anyone."
“I told you, I will not use the debt of saving my life to blackmail you. Even if it means death, I will not. I will prove to you that what happened today was not intentional.”
"If it really were me, I would never enter the Su family in this lifetime, and I would never marry you," Wenren Qichi said firmly, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a trace of grievance and loneliness.
Hearing his words and seeing his expression, Su Yueyao felt a little shaken. Had she spoken too harshly and misunderstood him?
But her expression didn't reveal anything. She said calmly, "If you didn't arrange or guide it, then you don't need to prove anything. Go back and recover from your injuries. Go back when you're healed."
Wenren Qichi nodded, his face pale. Cheng Yan immediately pulled him up, giving Wenren Qichi almost no chance to react. The next second, Wenren Qichi clutched his wound and gasped.
Su Yueyao frowned as she watched Cheng Yan's rude actions. She was about to say something to Cheng Yan, but she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Wenren Qichi was not her husband, and she should not speak ill of her husband because of him.
Cheng Yan glanced at Su Yueyao out of the corner of her eye when she saw Wenren Qichi's expression. She noticed that Su Yueyao didn't seem to blame her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She then softened her movements.
Wenren Qichi paused for several seconds before recovering and saying, "Young Master Cheng, shall we go back?"
Cheng Yan hummed in agreement and bowed to Su Yueyao: "My lady, I will come to find you after I have escorted him back to his room."
Wenren Qichi followed Cheng Yan with unsteady steps.
Su Yueyao looked in the direction they left, deep in thought. Had he not planned what had just happened? Without a doubt, within a few hours, the whole of Fengdu would be buzzing with rumors about her ambiguous relationship with Wenren Qichi.
With these rumors circulating, it will be easier for him to marry her when he returns to Fengdu.
“My lady, if you want to know if he has any schemes, ask those young masters who were talking about us today, including the man who suddenly appeared and bumped into him. Is there anyone behind them who is closely watching Fengdu and deliberately spreading rumors about you and Wenren Qichi?”
“If he has made any moves or set up any plans, it’s impossible for him not to leave any clues behind,” Xingchen said.
"Xingchen, go investigate! I want to know if he made a move. If he did, I should seriously reconsider."
“Alright! I’ll make the arrangements, my lady.” Xingchen said and turned to leave the courtyard.
Cui Yiyang and Nanfeng raised their eyebrows as they listened to the conversation between the two, wondering what had happened. It seemed that there was something wrong between the wife and this Wenren Minister.
"My lady, this Minister Wenren..."
Before Cui Yiyang could finish speaking, the First Prince spoke up to explain what had happened in the past two days. After listening, Cui Yiyang and Nanfeng looked on with a hint of helplessness.
"My lady, should we congratulate you on marrying a new man? This young master Wenren is so capable, he's qualified to enter your harem, and he's outshone us all once again."
“But we still need to observe this person. He can marry the wife, and he can use some scheming, but he can’t involve the wife in the marriage,” Cui Yiyang said.
"I think it's alright that he came in. If he is sincere towards his wife, his power will be able to better protect her in the future. His martial arts skills should also be quite good."
"We need to find out exactly what happened and how much of it was calculated. Otherwise, with someone like that in the family, our lives will be tough from now on," Nanfeng joked.
Hearing their banter, Su Yueyao said calmly, "I haven't seen through this person yet. I feel he's a black-hearted one. Cheng Yan has been furious with him these past two days. For him to pull this stunt today, Cheng Yan must have said something. Are the rooms at Xuanming Temple in high demand?"
“My lady, the courtyard we decided on was personally reserved by Xingchen half a month in advance.”
"I originally planned to bring everyone along, but because of Feng Qi and the Li family's affairs, only a few of us came," the First Prince explained.
"Alright! The scenery here is indeed quite beautiful. Once the Li family's matter is settled, let's come back again and have some fun."
"Yiyang, how far have we progressed with the Li family? Can Qianqian and the others handle things in Fengdu?"
