BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 - 132: His Highness Is Going To Kill Your Cousin
Jiang Peihuan spoke softly, and her eyes were cold when she did.
Seeing this, Xue Ru was a bit scared.
Observing from the side, Wang Fengyi said, “Huan Er, 1 don’t mean to criticize you as your aunt, but you’re coming off too strong for just a casual comment made by Xue Ru.”
“Old madam, general, King Cheng is here.”
Just then, the butler, Xue Shu, walked up.
“King Cheng? Why is he here all of a sudden?”
The Xue family looked at Jiang Peihuan.
And she also looked at the entrance.
A man in white, holding a fan, was walking their way.
The man was elegant and noble. Xue Ru, watching the man approaching, was completely stunned. After a few seconds, her eyes were filled with admiration.
“I was passing by and heard that Huan Er was here, so I came. 1 hope I’m not bothering anyone.”
“Your visit is our honor, Your Highness.”
The old madam of the Xue family was going to bow, but Xiao Nanye stopped her, “In a few months, Huan Er and I will be married. You don’t need to bow to me. Just treat me like a family member.”
“In that case, why don’t you stay with us tonight?”
“Would that be too much?”
Hearing this, Xiao Nanye seemed interested but he pretended to be modest.
“Of course not.”
This was said by Xue Tao.
Xue Tao turned to Xue Shu, “Tell the kitchen to make another meal and bring some good wine.”
“Yes, general.”
Since everyone had already started eating, they couldn’t let Xiao Nanye eat leftovers, they had to prepare fresh food for Xiao Nanye.
The old madam wanted to give Xiao Nanye the main seat, but he preferred to sit next to Jiang Peihuan.
“Your Highness King Cheng, since you and Huan Er will be married soon, we are practically family now. Let’s drink to that.”
Xue Tao was a fan of drinking, but he was the only one in the Xue family who could handle a lot of alcohol.
The old madam usually didn’t allow him to drink much, but today she didn’t say anything due to Xiao Nanye’s presence.
Xue Tao asked Butler Xue to bring out his best wine.
“Here’s to you, General Xue.”
Hearing Xue Tao’s words, Xiao Nanye picked up his glass and finished his drink in one gulp.
Seeing this, Xue Tao was thrilled. “You’re very direct, Your Highness.”
At the table, Xiao Nanye mostly talked to Xue Tao, but he always looked at Jiang Peihuan.
And Xue Ru only looked at Xiao Nanye.
After three rounds of drinks, Xiao Nanye wasn’t drunk at all, but Xue Tao was.
Seeing this, Xiao Nanye directly addressed the old madam, “Old Madam Xue, 1 am a bit tired. I’d like to rest now.”
“Old Xue, show his highness to the bamboo garden.”
“Old madam, let Huan Er take me.”
Before the old madam could finish, Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan.
Jiang Peihuan, looking into his eyes, said softly, “Grandma, let me take his highness. 1 was planning to rest anyway.”
“Alright, then you should rest early.”
Hearing this, Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan left the old madam’s courtyard together.
When they stepped outside, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but ask the man next to her, “Didn’t you say you’d wait for me at the inn? Why are you here?”
“I thought you’d come to see me when you were free, but you didn’t, so I missed you and came to the Xue Mansion.”
“If you don’t like it, 1 can leave right now.”
The man’s eyes were gentle. Hearing him, Jiang Peihuan felt a headache coming.
At first, she thought Xiao Nanye was cold and mean. But after spending more time with him, she saw he was quite needy.
“Forget it, since your highness are already here, please stay.”
Hearing this, Xiao Nanye eyes revealed a smile.
Knowing Jiang Peihuan was tired, Xiao Nanye didn’t bother her that night. He let her rest.
But, after half an hour, someone knocked on Xiao Nanye’s door.
He thought it was Jiang Peihuan and opened the door smiling, “Huan Er, you… Who are you?”
Seeing Xue Ru at the door, Xiao Nanye’s smile vanished instantly. He looked distant and cold.
But Xue Ru wasn’t bothered. Looking at Xiao Nanye’s handsome face, she spoke softly, “Your Highness, I’m Xue family’s daughter. 1 made a soup to help you sober up. You…”
“No need. 1 don’t want it.”
Xiao Nanye interrupted her before she finished.
As he was about to close the door, Xue Ru panicked. She quickly reached out
her hand, “Your Highness, listen to me, I…”
“Go away!”
As she reached out, Xue Ru grabbed Xiao Nanye’s sleeve.
Seeing this, Xiao Nanye looked angry.
He pulled his sleeve away from her and scolded her coldly.
Xue Ru’s eyes were filled with fear when she heard Xiao Nanye’s words. However, when she looked at the man’s face and thought of his noble status, she gathered her courage and said,” Your Highness, I’m Huan Er’s cousin. Huan Er is about to become your princess consort, and I like you very much too.”
“Plus, I’m a better match for you than Huan Er.”
After saying this, Xue Ru went up and hugged Xiao Nanye.
The man’s expression changed. He reached out his hand and threw Xue Ru away.
Xiao Nanye didn’t hold back. Xue Ru was thrown into a tree and immediately coughed up blood.
“Young Miss?”
Seeing Xue Ru lying on the ground, her maid Lin Er was terrified and rushed over.
The commotion here also alerted the people of the Xue Mansion.
When they arrived, they saw Xiao Nanye tearing off his coat and cutting it into pieces with his sword. And he was pointing his sword at Xue Ru.
“Eldest miss, hurry, go to the bamboo garden. Something has happened.”
Jiang Peihuan was about to lie down when she heard Deputy General Liu’s voice.
She opened the door, confused, “What happened?”
“His highness is going to kill your cousin.”
“What?”
Hearing Deputy General Liu, Jiang Peihuan looked shocked.
Without saying anything else, she went straight to the bamboo garden.
As she entered, she saw the Xue family members on the ground. Xiao Nanye was angrily looking at Xue Ru with a sword in his hand.
She quickly went up to him, “Xiao Nanye?”
Hearing her voice, Xiao Nanye’s anger disappeared instantly, replaced by a soft look, “Why are you here?”
