Chapter 259

After Yu Cheng was captured alive, some of his confidants were still causing trouble everywhere.

Of course, it was not Lu Ziyan's turn to personally carry out the task of encircling and suppressing the rebels, but Xiangzhou was leaderless at that time, so he stayed here for a few more days to take charge.

As the crown prince of a country, the only reason he came to personally quell the rebellion was purely for personal revenge.

When it's almost finished, I won't stay for long.

But when he was about to set out for Beijing, he changed his mind and ordered his men to take a detour via Bianzhou.

Xiangzhou and Bianzhou are not far apart. The journey back to Beijing is long, and taking a detour through Bianzhou would only take one more day.

He was willing to spend a day to meet the short-lived ghost whom his Wanwan was willing to save out of kindness.

At the same time in Bianzhou City, the prefecture.

Xie Wan Ning was being blocked in the room by her elder brother.

Pei Yuqing's sudden arrival caught the brother and sister off guard.

Originally, Xie Yanyu had been persuaded by his sister and was willing to let her continue to hide her identity and live in Bianzhou after giving birth to the child.

Maybe after three to five years, when everything is calm, my parents will be able to come here to stay for a while and see their daughter and grandson.

To think more optimistically, if Lu Ziyan married the Crown Princess and had other women around him, and was no longer obsessed with one woman, his sister might be able to return to the capital.

But Pei Yuqing's appearance still disrupted everything.

Especially since he had no intention of leaving.

Even though his sister was pregnant with another man's child, he still didn't leave.

Xie Yanyu was helpless about this.

Xie Wan Ning was also helpless. She told Pei Yuqing very clearly that it was impossible for them to be together again in this life.

Not to mention that he is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and the only son of the eldest princess and the Duke. He has elderly parents and kinship ties that he cannot abandon.

Even if he was willing to give up everything and leave the capital for her, Lu Ziyan would definitely find out.

Once Lu Ziyan found out that she was not dead, she would flee to the death, just to rekindle her relationship with Pei Yuqing...

How terrifying that scene would be? Xie Wan Ning, who had already experienced Lu Ziyan's madness, didn't even dare to think about it.

But he came all the way to find her, and even if Xie Wan Ning was as hard-hearted as she was, she couldn't ask him to leave.

With Pei Yuqing's intelligence, how could he not understand what she meant? But he always just smiled faintly and said that everything would be settled after she gave birth safely.

Xie Yanyu had been busy with the provincial examination a few days ago. Now that the examination was over, he could no longer hold back and came to his sister's yard.

"what do you think?"

Xie Wan Ning was sitting on the soft chair with a bulging belly. Upon hearing this, she shrank her neck like a quail.

"Speak up," Xie Yanyu was angry when he saw his sister like this, "Your marriage with Pei Changqing has been cancelled by the emperor's decree, and now you still want to be with him..."

"No, I wanted him to leave too," Xie Wan Ning shook her head and whispered, "but he said he would wait until I gave birth to the baby."

"Let's talk about it after you give birth?" Xie Yanyu laughed angrily, "Then have you ever thought about what role he will play when you give birth?"

Now that his sister has grown up, Xie Yanyu didn't want to ask about her love affairs, but he found that this girl was soft-hearted and thin-skinned.

She always felt that she had let Pei Changqing down and was unworthy of his deep affection.

Over the past few days, he had watched the two of them get along, from being awkward at the beginning to being closer and closer now.

If you don’t know, you would really think that he is the biological father of the child in her belly.
