Chapter 281: Chapter 280: Things Without Results, I Don’t Want to Labor in Vain Anymore

Yan Wanqing didn’t want to discuss this matter in front of everyone. She gathered her thoughts, forcefully suppressed the emotional breakdown looming within, and her expression gradually turned cold.

The atmosphere suddenly felt deathly still.

Lin Yanran, who had been silent on the side, felt much relieved seeing this.

This wretched woman finally had a rift with the Crown Prince.

She just couldn’t stand seeing this wretched woman having such smooth sailing!

Piji quickly took Wang Quan and the unconscious lady of the house away, as for where they were sent, only Yan Wanqing knew.

Afterward, she had Li Chengxiang call Xiaoliu from inside the house.

Xiaoliu got up, fished in his pocket, and took out his treasured medicinal pills: "Come, come, come, one for each person, no fighting or scrambling, everyone gets one. Eat up and keep your mouths shut, don’t go running your mouths. If anyone disobeys, they won’t get the antidote."

Upon hearing they were poison, some people were reluctant to take them.

But faced with the Hidden Guards’ fierce looks all around the courtyard, if they didn’t eat, they would die right then.

Eventually, they all swallowed them.

Lin Yanran was the least willing to eat it; she directly knelt crying in front of Xiao Pingfeng: "Your Highness, can your servant not take that poison? Your servant is willing to be at your side, work like an ox or horse, and ensure absolute silence!"

Xiao Pingfeng gave her a cold glance: "Stay by my side?"

Lin Yanran nodded hurriedly, slightly raised her chin, and cast a seductive glance toward him, showing off her perfect features, which had enchanted quite a few officials and nobles.

But the Crown Prince first flashed a trace of scorn in his dark eyes, then coldly said, "You think you are worthy?"

Lin Yanran’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

"If you don’t eat it, I will send you on your way right now," Xiao Pingfeng was very impatient.

Yan Wanqing had just been at odds with him.

He was in no mood to deal with such trifles.

He wished he could kick them all out with one foot, leaving the courtyard just for the two of them.

Lin Yanran realized she had made a fool of herself. Just then, Yan Xiaoliu came over with the medicinal pill in his hand.

"Just obediently take the medicine, don’t make a fool of yourself again," sighed Yan Xiaoliu. "People should have self-awareness."

In the Crown Prince’s eyes, there was only his own sister.

He had no room for other random cats and dogs.

This beautiful woman truly possessed only beauty, with no brain in her head.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanran’s facial expression became even more complex. She spitefully grabbed the medicinal pill from Yan Xiaoliu’s hand and shoved it into her mouth.

The pill dissolved upon entering her mouth, tasting so bitter she almost threw up.

Yan Xiaoliu clicked his tongue twice and hopped away

Ick, don’t throw up on her!

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse now, remember, absolutely do not talk nonsense," Yan Lingzhen said with a smile, appearing innocent, but no one dared to underestimate her, seeing her as a little demon wearing a doll’s skin.

"Let’s go too," Yan Wanqing said softly.

Xiao Pingfeng immediately frowned, but he didn’t speak.

He thought she at least owed him an explanation.

But there was none.

A gloomy aura enveloped Xiao Pingfeng; he was also temperamental.

After coming back from a long journey, he was met with such an attitude from Yan Wanqing.

Who wouldn’t feel incredibly irritated by this?

It was like trying to beat a muffled fart with a stick!

The cold aloofness in Xiao Pingfeng’s dark eyes seemed almost to freeze the entire courtyard.

Seeing Yan Wanqing still moving forward without turning her head.

He mocked himself.

Then he spoke, "Do you want to leave with me?"

He said this to Lin Yanran, who was hesitatingly lingering nearby, not willing to leave.

Lin Yanran could not believe her ears, "Is Your Highness speaking to this servant?"

Xiao Pingfeng’s eyes were fixed only on the woman who would not turn back, and he was unaware of the anger in his tone, "Stay or go?"

Yan Wanqing heard the voice, her body stiffened, and she paused.

Xiao Pingfeng’s gaze flickered, but soon she stepped forward again.

This damned woman!

Xiao Pingfeng’s heart completely darkened.

"Go, go, go, of course this servant will follow His Highness. I will go pack now," Lin Yanran said cheerfully, ready to leave.

Xiao Pingfeng spoke directly, "What things to take? Could I possibly need less because of you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yanran was even more delighted; she laughed like a blooming flower, "I will obey all Your Highness commands, this servant will serve you well."

"Hmm." Xiao Pingfeng responded expressionlessly and then turned towards the opposite direction.

...

"Sister, the Crown Prince has taken Lin Yanran with him," Yan Xiaoliu looked at his sister with some worry.

Yan Wanqing’s face was expressionless, "It has nothing to do with me."

There was simply no possibility between him and her.

She had thought too much before.

Now, she was unwilling to let go of that dog Emperor; she wanted his life, so how could Xiao Pingfeng still be with her under these circumstances?

It’s better to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Reborn in this life, she simply did not deserve to indulge in familial affection.

Yan Xiaoliu looked at Yan Wanqing’s delicate back and became even more worried, "Sister... but the Crown Prince seems to like you very much."

"There’s no possible outcome between us." She did not want to engage in pointless efforts any longer.

Whether it’s liking or love, in the end, none can outweight the vengeance for the murder of her father.

She could not bear to imagine if her father and brothers, from the netherworld, knew she was with the son of the one who had killed them, how they would look at her.

The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached.

But even so, she managed to squeeze out a faint smile, and took out Li Chengxiang’s deed of sale from her embrace, "This is yours, keep it safe."

Li Chengxiang shook her head, "The young girl does not want it, she wants to stay with the Commandery Princess forever."

"You, a noble girl, following this Commandery Princess is not proper. If you are worried about your father, I will handle it for you, even arranging to send you elsewhere, buying a place for you to live is not a problem," Yan Wanqing painstakingly explained.

Li Chengxiang still shook her head, "After this matter, the young girl has completely cut off all her past hopes. If today the Commandery Princess does not keep the young girl, she will rather dash her head against this stone wall."

She was also desperate.

There was nothing in this world worth her reminiscence anymore.

Tonight, many people’s mindsets had changed.

Yan Wanqing pursed her red lips, looked at Li Chengxiang’s young face, and finally compromised, sighing, "If you wish to follow, then follow."

She dropped these words and walked forward.

Li Chengxiang stood still, stunned.

Yan Lingzhen pushed her, "What are you standing there for? Sister has agreed."

Li Chengxiang then cried tears of joy, nodding vigorously, "The young girl heard it!"

The Commandery Princess finally wanted her!

This was probably the best news Li Chengxiang had heard these days.

After returning to Township Manor.

Yan Lingzhen went to help Li Chengxiang settle in.

Yan Wanqing sat alone in the study, who knows what she was thinking, which made Cong Ge very worried.

"Miss." She softly knocked on the door.

"Not hungry, don’t want to eat," Yan Wanqing spoke without even thinking.

Cong Ge’s voice came again, "There’s a letter from the palace, the Empress Dowager invites you to the palace tomorrow."
