Chapter 335: Fate Beyond One's Control

The few of them walked for a while, and the plum blossoms on the branches were blooming beautifully, but no one was interested in appreciating them today, and even the mood for chatting was ruined.

Chu Hongyi paused slightly.

"What's wrong?" Nan Xi turned to look at her, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "Want to beat her up?"

Indeed.

Chu Hongyi turned around expressionlessly, looking at Fang Lanyi, whose face was pale but still unconvinced: "This general can solve this matter himself, as long as the consequences of the final consequences can be borne by the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."

Compared with the cold and arrogant arrogance in the Great Zhou, Chu Hongyi at this time has clearly restrained her temper and behavior style.

Not only because she is pregnant with a child, but also because of the family factors she needs to consider now. The Chu family and the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion are both ministers of Dongling. The conflicts of interest between families are different from those between individuals, and they are not what they want.

Fang Lanyi is naturally different from Lin Baozhu, whom she met in the Great Zhou before, and cannot be handled in the same way, so Chu Hongyi has restrained her temper.

However, if Fang Lanyi continues to be relentless and doesn't know what's good for her, her suppressed temper will soon explode. After all, she is not the type to swallow her anger.

Fang Lanyi pursed her lips, looked at her expressionlessly, and said nothing.

"This general disdains to play those little tricks in the boudoir with you, but if you think you are invincible because of this, this general doesn't mind letting you know what it means to ask for trouble." Chu Hongyi finished speaking, and added coldly: "Xuanyuan Qi is my general's person. Whoever dares to take advantage of him, this general will make her live a life worse than death."

This is already a warning to declare sovereignty.

Face to face, without any cover-up, extremely domineering to tell the other party, this is my husband, you little bitch, get out of here.

Nan Xi raised the corner of her lips slightly, remembering that she had said something similar in front of Bai Die before: "Regent Rong Yu is my person, don't be wishful thinking, Regent is not worthy of you."

Well, so there is a reason why the two people have similar personalities.

Fang Lanyi couldn't stay any longer. She wanted to leave in anger, but at this moment in the palace, at Princess Feng's flower-viewing banquet, she didn't have the courage to leave without Nan Xi's order.

So after being warned by Chu Hongyi, no matter how ugly her face was, she could only follow behind the others gloomily and silently, lagging behind for a short distance, and dared not say anything more.

"General Chu is mighty and domineering." Xuanyuan Xueling whispered, "To deal with such a person, you should teach her a lesson."

Chu Hongyi didn't say anything.

Nan Xi tilted her head to look at the women beside her, and smiled faintly: "I have seen Dandan and Jiajia before, but I have met Miss Mo and Miss Su for the first time today."

Mo Lian's temperament is a little different from that of ordinary girls. She bowed and smiled gently: "I don't go out much. I like to stay in the mansion to read books and tend to flowers and plants. If Your Highness has any instructions, I will be there at any time."

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Miss Mo seems to be a talented woman."

Mo Lian said modestly: "I can't say she is a talented woman, I just like reading books."

Nan Xi smiled faintly, and her eyes inadvertently swept across Xuanyuan Jia beside her. Seeing that she looked dazed and worried, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with Jiajia?"

Xuanyuan Jia seemed not to hear, and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Jia Jia." Xuanyuan Dan nudged her arm strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah." Xuanyuan Jia suddenly came back to her senses, looked up at her, and said in surprise, "What...what?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xuanyuan Dan was surprised, "His Highness is asking you a question."

Xuanyuan Jia then noticed that Nan Xi and the others were looking at her, and felt a little uneasy for a moment, and couldn't help but pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, what did His Highness ask me?"

"I see that you seem to be worried." Nan Xi responded to her Ying didn't care and smiled gently, "If you don't mind, you can tell me about it."

Xuanyuan Jia frowned and hesitated: "There is indeed something..."

Nan Xi looked at her thoughtfully and said lightly: "Xue Ling, Dan Dan, you go somewhere else first, Yin Yue and Yin Shuang can stay."

"Yes."

Several little princesses dispersed with great tact, Mo Lian and Su Zhen Zhen also walked to the other side, as for Fang Lan Yi and Ji Wan Er, they naturally couldn't wait to take this opportunity to turn around and go somewhere else.

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "Can you tell it now?"

Xuanyuan Jia bowed his head and knelt down.

"What are you doing?" Nan Xi frowned, "Get up and talk."

Xuanyuan Jia shook her head: "What I said is beyond my status, which may make Your Highness feel embarrassed, but I don't know who to ask for help. Today, I am also entrusted by someone. If Your Highness thinks that what I said is inappropriate, just pretend that I have never said this. Is that okay?"

"I will not agree to anything I can't do. As long as what you ask for is not unreasonable, it will not be considered beyond your status." Nan Xi stretched out her hand to help her up, "But if you have the same delusion as Fang Lanyi, knowing that it is impossible but insisting on destroying other people's marriages, and still being stubborn, there is no need to say such things, I will definitely not help."

Xuanyuan Jia whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing."

Nan Xi hummed, turned and walked towards a pavilion in the garden: "Didn't I say before that you don't need to call yourself 'slave'. Although you are the concubine of Prince Jing's Mansion, your mother is also a concubine after all, and we are also cousins. Don't belittle yourself too much."

"But concubines and concubines are actually equivalent to half slaves in the royal family, and sometimes even worse than slaves." Xuanyuan Jia's lips twitched slightly, his expression was a little pale, "Sometimes it's not that we want to belittle ourselves, but we are born with a fate that is beyond our control. We can't resist when being stepped on. This is the saddest thing."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "Princess Jing abused you?"

"Not me." Xuanyuan Jia shook his head softly, "Although my mother is a little strict in managing the family, she will not abuse me and my second brother for no reason. As long as we don't do anything wrong, our lives are pretty good, but some people have been living in dire straits."

Some people?

Nan Xi sat down at the table and motioned Xuanyuan Jia to sit down as well: "You can talk to me."

Xuanyuan Jia did not sit down, but knelt down again in silence: "Xuanyuan Chen, the second son of the Wei Wangfu, has been abused by the Crown Prince for many years. The Wei Wangfei threatened him with his biological mother. Even if Master Chen was dying, he dared not let anyone know his situation. Since he lost his position as the crown prince, the Crown Prince has become even more violent and cruel. Four days ago, he used a hot iron whip to whip Master Chen until he was unconscious. Master Chen's injuries have not healed yet, but today he was forced into the palace by the Crown Prince, and asked him to find a way to help Su Hanyu get the favor of His Highness. If he fails, I'm afraid he will be..."
