Pang Xiao leaned close to Lu Heng's ear and whispered, "This King thinks that someone who has the guts to go to another woman's boudoir in the middle of the night should know what This King means."
When Lu Heng heard this, his pupils shrank.
Pang Xiao actually knew?
How did he know? Did Qin Yining tell him? Or did Qin Yining's maidservant secretly tell Pang Xiao?
If the maidservant secretly told him, it would be fine. But if Qin Yining said it himself, then his actions were really hard to understand.
Normally, when a woman encountered something like this, wouldn't she carefully hide it? Could it be that Qin Yining trusted Pang Xiao that much? Wasn't he afraid that Pang Xiao would take offense?
Lu Heng originally didn't want to admit it, but after thinking about it, since he dared to do it, there was nothing he didn't dare to do. When he thought about how infatuated Qin Yining was with Pang Xiao and how much he had done for Pang Xiao, if he was misunderstood by Pang Xiao because of this, perhaps she would be sad. Lu Heng began to feel sorry for her again.
"Yes. I did go. But I only went to say a few words. I stood at the door, and the two maidservants in her room stood about ten feet away from me. After I spoke, I left. From the beginning to the end, she spoke to me bluntly and didn't do anything that crossed the line. If Wang Ye has a grudge against her because of this, then you will be letting down her feelings for you. "
Even if he hoped that Pang Xiao would let Qin Yining down and make Qin Yining sick of Pang Xiao and leave him, he would have a greater chance.
But when it came to this, what Lu Heng cared about the most was Qin Yining's feelings. He still couldn't bear to make her sad.
When Pang Xiao heard Lu Heng speak like this, she was so sick of it that she wanted to die.
"Whether I let you down or not, it's not up to an outsider like you to decide. This King has heard your words clearly. This King naturally cares about her matters, so there's no need for you to remind him. This King would also like to remind you that your daughter-in-law is a troublemaker. You'd better keep her in check and not let her come out like a mad dog to slander a good person. Otherwise, This King will not let you off easily. "
Lu Heng clenched his teeth so hard that the contours of his jaw could be clearly seen.
At this moment, he felt as if he had been slapped in front of his face. Pang Xiao actually exposed him in front of his face, not leaving him any face at all!
He knew that in terms of etiquette, it was wrong for him to casually visit other people's wives in the middle of the night. But in the end, he was still in love, so in the end, he left without doing anything extra.
Lu Heng smiled. "This lowly official will naturally take care of the family matters. Wang Ye doesn't need to worry about it. It's just that although I do have feelings for her, I can't bear to force her to do anything. In terms of feelings, I've sacrificed as much as anyone else. At the very least, I can say that I didn't let her down. What about Wang Ye? "
These words pierced straight into Pang Xiao's heart.
Pang Xiao had never done anything to let Qin Yining down, but he had always been a burden to her! Outsiders who didn't know would even think that Qin Yining's family was cut off because of him. Even the deaths of the twins were caused by Pang Xiao.
Although that wasn't the truth, Qin Yining had indeed suffered a lot because of him. He had been kidnapped, plotted against, hunted down, and murdered. And most of the time, Qin Yining had to rely on himself to survive. Pang Xiao was too far away to help …
Pang Xiao didn't want to be outdone. "Whether or not he let her down, it's a private matter between This King and her. Even if This King let her down, This King has a lifetime to slowly make up for it. Outsiders will never have the opportunity and time to do so. "
The two men gritted their teeth and looked at each other. They had the same woman in their hearts. They didn't even bother to discuss the banquet. They only spared no effort in saying things that could hurt each other.
Lu Heng was depressed. Pang Xiao was also suppressing his anger. This was the first time the two of them had shed all pretense of cordiality to talk about this matter. Although they didn't speak loudly, the atmosphere around them was quite tense.
When Lu Wenru replied outside the door, he couldn't help but soften his voice and speak carefully.
"Uncle, the banquet is almost ready."
What he meant was to ask Lu Heng if he wanted to bring Bian Ruohan over. If he wanted to, he had to do it as soon as possible.
Lu Heng finally came back to his senses. He thought for a moment and said, "Go bring Furen over."
Pang Xiao also thought of the matter of welcoming the Tatan Khan.
Since the Khan had specifically asked for Qin Yining to come, it wouldn't be good if he just stopped him. Also, Pang Xiao didn't believe that with him here, there would be anyone who would make things difficult for Qin Yining.
Therefore, Pang Xiao also loudly ordered Huzi, "Go back and bring Wangfei in. It's cold and wet outside. Tell Wangfei to wear more clothes."
"Yes." Huzi answered outside the door and rushed to the wang fu.
When he saw Qin Yining, he told him everything he saw and heard today.
"Wangfei, I saw that the atmosphere between Wang Ye and Zhong Yibo wasn't right. The two seemed to have had a big fight. Do you think that in front of the Tatan Khan, Wang Ye won't bicker with Zhong Yibo? "If there really was an internal conflict in front of the Tatan, it wouldn't look good.
Qin Yining had already changed into a set of ivory white robes embroidered with cloud patterns. She sat in front of the dressing table and had Ji Yun and Bing Tang help her do her hair and makeup. Hearing this, Huzi, who was waiting outside, smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's not the first day that the two of them have been at odds. Wang Ye also knows. Not to mention bickering, even if they want to fight, they'll do it behind people's backs. "
Huzi heard the movements in the room and couldn't help but joke, "Wangfei, aren't you worried that Wang Ye will be at a disadvantage?"
"In terms of bickering and punching, Lu Boye isn't Wang Ye's match." Qin Yining chose a pair of pearl earrings to wear.
Bing Tang also smiled and said, "Wang Ye is very smart. If he really wants to, his mouth can anger people to death. He won't lose in an argument."
Ji Yun said, "That's right. Zhong Yibo isn't stupid. He won't really fight with Wang Ye. Wouldn't that be asking for a beating?"
Huzi laughed loudly outside.
Qin Yining raised her chin and had Bing Tang help her put on the grape-twined clasp, "Huzi, was it Wang Ye's orders to have me attend the banquet today?"
Huzi heard this and said seriously, "Wangfei, it wasn't Wang Ye's orders. It was the Tatan Khan's request. This subordinate doesn't know the details, but when Zhong Yibo heard the news, he came out to tell Wang Ye. "
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, "It seems like they don't come with good intentions."
Bing Tang said worriedly, "Then what should we do?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's fine. Even if I quarrel with the Tatan Khan, it's a woman's matter. The peace between the two countries won't be affected. "
Bing Tang was stunned and then laughed, "Wangfei is too much. This servant isn't worried about that."
Ji Yun also smiled and said, "That's right. Wangfei's safety is the most important thing. The two of us don't care about national affairs."
Qin Yining patted their shoulders comfortingly and smiled, "Don't worry. Even if the Tatan Khan finds trouble for no reason, with Wang Ye around, I won't be at a disadvantage. All of you, follow me. "
