Life-Robbing Consort - C22
Xiao Lan, who had calmed down with great difficulty, had just roughly strolled around the Warm Fragrance Pavilion when she saw the servant who had been trying to please her run in like a madman, shouting out loud in panic as she ran.
“Third Miss, this is incredible. The Regent has come looking for you. The carriage has stopped outside the mansion.”
Hearing these words, Xiao Lan couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment before smiling coldly. What a joke, why would Xuanyuan Wentian come to find her? How could that be possible? Why would he look for her?
Could it be a betrothal gift?
Married…
Yes, how could she have forgotten that she was hesitant about this marriage, and that Xuanyuan.
He had come to her to break the engagement.
At this time, Xuanyuan Feng’s personal guard, as fast as the wind, entered the Warm Fragrance Pavilion and effortlessly found Xiao Lan.
He stood firmly in front of Xiao Lan like a gust of wind, his posture was straight, and his voice was heavy.
“Lady Wei, I am like the wind, a personal attendant of the Regent. At this moment, the Prince is waiting for the young lady outside his mansion. I hope that the young lady will move away.”
She was 100% sure that the person standing in front of her was definitely an expert. This was because his aura was so calm that it did not fluctuate at all. Even the quick steps he took earlier did not affect him in the slightest.
Upon seeing that Xiao Lan had been sizing him up with a light of admiration in his eyes, Ru Feng’s heart began to thump. What in the world was going on with this Lan Yi?
Could it be that even the prince had misjudged her? Her current appearance was clearly out of place, since when had there ever been a master that showed admiration for a servant?
Rufeng pretended to be calm as he opened his mouth again, “Lady Weiwei, please move.”
Only then did Xiao Lan focus her attention on what Ru Feng had said. Xiao Lan slightly raised the corner of her eyebrows. She didn’t expect that Xuanyuan Yun would really come. Xiao Lan smiled at Ru Feng and said, “Alright, I’ll go see your master now.”
Because no matter how much she thought about it, she didn’t want to get married. Marrying herself to a man she didn’t know for a pearl was too much of a loss, especially since it was a man she had seen in a coffin.
If she wanted to obtain the Profound Spirit Bead, she would definitely work hard, whether it was relying on her brain or her physical strength.
Xiao Lan quickly followed the wind and arrived outside the door of the house of the Marquis. When Xiao Lan came outside, the door was already surrounded by a crowd of people, including commoners, the ladies of the house, as well as countless servants and maids.
Everyone had heard that the Regent had a peerless appearance, but they had never had the chance to see it. After so much difficulty, they finally had a chance to see this handsome and ethereal prince, so they had to push forward no matter what.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn’t help but smile in his heart. So it turns out that Star Chasing Ancient was already prevalent.
Like the wind, when Xiao Lan approached the Xuanyuan carriage, she respectfully lifted up the carriage’s curtain.
Instinctively polite, Xiao Lan thanked Ru Feng clearly.
The “thank you” instantly froze Rufeng on the spot. This Miss Wei unexpectedly expressed her gratitude to him.
Heavens, what did he do that she would thank him for?
Raise the curtain?
If that was the case, there might be something wrong with the girl’s head.
Xiao Lan naturally did not know that a single word of thanks was enough to put her in the category where her brain was unable to function properly.
Xiao Lan, who had entered the carriage, should have been the first to look at Xuanyuan Yun, but she was stunned by the luxurious decorations within the carriage.
The entire carriage was covered in thick golden velvet without any leftovers. The surrounding railings were carved with beautiful patterns. There were even pearls the size of a cow’s eye embedded into the corners of the railings.
Everyone said that every inch of land was worth a lot of money, and Xuanyuan’s carriage was worth a lot of money.
After Xiao Lan finished sizing up the entire carriage, he looked towards Xuanyuan Feng, who was elegantly sitting in the middle of the carriage. The noble aura emitted from his appearance caused one to not dare to look straight at him, as his peerless appearance was unfathomable.
Xiao Lan’s breathing couldn’t help but falter. She finally understood why Xuanyuan Wentian’s carriage was so luxurious. It was because if it wasn’t constructed, it would let down his face.
The pearl and jade stone were extremely dazzling, but in front of Xuanyuan Wentian, all of them lost their luster.
Xiao Lan calmly continued walking forward. Only when he neared Xuanyuan Wentian did he notice that there was actually a dark red rosewood table in front of him. The tea within the cup was still emitting white steam.
The corner of Xiao Lan’s brows slightly raised. He was also an elegant and refined person.
The instant Xiao Lan stepped into the carriage, Xuanyuan Feng’s gaze had already gathered onto her body, and he saw every single expression on Xiao Lan’s face. In the end, the more Xuanyuan Yun looked, the more confused he became, and now he was a little unable to figure out who the woman in front of him was.
You said that she was stupid, not understanding etiquette, not understanding respect, but she wasn’t stupid, her eyes were very wise.
But you said that she was sensible and understood the seriousness of the situation, yet she didn’t have the slightest bit of grudge. She had violated all the things that she shouldn’t have done.
She didn’t even manage to greet him with the simplest bow. He was truly curious as to how her head looked like.
Xiao Lan saw that although Xuanyuan Yun was looking at her, he did not say anything. She could not help but sit down across from him.
In Xiao Lan’s heart, although she had only met Xuanyuan Wentian twice, that was not right. Counting this time, it was three times.
However, this was not the case for Xuan Yuan. He narrowed his eyes, and the cold anger that had accumulated in his heart began to rise uncontrollably.
She didn’t bow, but did he allow her to sit down?
Just as Xuanyuan Yun was about to speak, he saw Xiao Lan casually pour himself a cup of tea. After which, he comfortably took a sip and all of his movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.
Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly felt that the carriage was not his, but the woman’s, and he was the one who had been invited in.
At this moment, Xiao Lan was still sipping tea, one mouthful after another. Perhaps the taste of the tea had caught her attention, but admiration was revealed in Xiao Lan’s eyes from time to time.
Xuanyuan Yun didn’t even dare to narrow his eyes as he only stared intently at Xiao Lan’s every move.
Xiao Lan drank a full cup of tea. When she saw that Xuanyuan Wentian was still silent, she couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.
Why didn’t he say anything? If it wasn’t for the night of the banquet, she would have known that he could speak and would have treated him as a mute.
Xiao Lan gently put down her teacup and looked inquisitively at Xuanyuan Yun, sizing him up a little.
Xuanyuan Wentian’s eyes darkened. He didn’t know that she would dare to look at him in such a manner after she had eaten a few Bear-Heart Leopards!
Xiao Lan acutely sensed the icy coldness that flashed through Xuanyuan Yun’s eyes, and solemnly lowered the corners of his eyes for a moment.
His entire body was covered in cold air …
Angry?
Could it be … He was blaming her for offending his superiors again?
