When Liu Tian Xin saw her, he did not avoid her, but walked in calmly instead. He did not look in Yan Jue's direction, but walked in front of Yan Yuan and said: "Prince Jing, I am very sorry, but my existence has affected Crown Princess Jing.
As she was speaking, she suddenly pulled the sword on her wrist, and a sword appeared in front of Yan Yuan.
"Either Prince will kill me now, or I will ask him to tell the eighth prince to let me go. I will go far away, and I will absolutely not affect any of you."
She passed the sword to Yan Yuan, and waited for him to take it.
This sword was gifted to her by Yan Jue a few months ago, and said that he wanted her to use it for self-defense. At that time, she was secretly delighted, but she slowly understood that this sword was meant for her to protect herself.
In order to prevent people who wanted to harm Liu Ruo Qing from taking action against her, she had to protect herself, so that she wouldn't be used by others. To put it bluntly, it was to protect Liu Ruo Qing.
Originally, the reason why Yan Jue brought her along was to prevent his from being discovered by others and affecting Liu Ruo Qing.
And the more time she spent with him, the more she minded Yan Jue's thoughts, and the words Yan Jue had said to Liu Ruo Qing just now, allowed her to understand him completely.
She also placed the matter that she had always thought she wouldn't mind in front of her. It turned out that she still cared a lot about it.
Yan Yuan looked at the sword in front of him, then looked at Yan Jue's darkening face, then looked at his finger that was holding onto the wine cup with increasing force, then asked: "Do you think this king does not dare to kill you?"
"No, Prince Jing, I'm not testing you, I really hate the feeling of being under house arrest. If I knew earlier that I wouldn't have had my own face and would have had to be under house arrest, I wouldn't have run away and directly married you."
When Liu Tian Xin said this, she was a little angry, but at the same time, both Yan Yuan and Yan Jue changed their expressions.
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
Seeing Yan Jue place the wine cup heavily on the table, he got up and pulled Liu Tian Xin over, gritting his teeth as he laughed coldly: "Now I feel that Old Ninth is going to marry him. Back then when you didn't run away from the marriage, you did not need to regret, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles!"
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Jue's terrifyingly gloomy face dumbfoundedly. It was the first time she saw Yan Jue being so fierce. His usual playful and sloppy look almost made Liu Ruo Qing think that this eighth brother wouldn't be angry.
As expected, not a single member of the royal family had a good temper.
Liu Ruo Qing sighed in her heart, seeing the conflict between Yan Jue and his enemy, she knew that things were not going well.
It looks like the reason why Eighth Brother's relationship with Tian Xin was not good was really related to him.
Yeah, I feel that the Prince Jing is good now, so I'm regretting it.
She struggled to get rid of Yan Yuan's hand, but her wrist was held so tightly by that she couldn't move it at all.
She decided to not argue with him and turned to Yan Yuan, "Prince Jing, you should just accept me. I look exactly the same as Crown Princess Jing anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard on you to look at me."
Yan Jue's expression sank even more. Yan Jue was not any better, but Liu Ruo Qing did not seem to mind Liu Tian Xin's words at all. Perhaps she was being generous, but she could clearly feel that Liu Tian Xin's heart was not with Yan Yuan.
"Liu Tian Xin..."
"Enough!"
Yan Yuan interrupted Yan Jue's words with a gloomy face.
"Let's go to the study room. I have something to tell you."
Yan Yuan looked at Yan Jue, and said with a stern expression.
Yan Jue was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Liu Tian Xin with a cold face and released her hand.
He unhappily swept his eyes across Yan Yuan, went around him, and quickly walked out of the courtyard. Yan Yuan followed behind him and leaned over Liu Ruo Qing, "If you are hungry, eat first, don't wait for us."
"Got it."
After Yan Yuan and Yan Jue left, Liu Tian Xin did not plan to stay either. She turned around and prepared to leave, but she was stopped by Liu Ruo Qing, "Princess Tian Xin."
Liu Tian Xin stopped in her tracks, turned her head and looked at her. Seeing her warm smile, she also laughed at herself.
Although she was angry at Yan Jue, she did not vent her anger on him. She walked up to her and sat down, poured herself a cup of wine, and said: "You better call me submissive, if someone hears about it, you'll be in trouble again."
There were thousands of people in the mansion, it was hard to say if they had ulterior motives.
As Liu Ruo Qing put food in the pot, she asked: "You fought with eighth brother?"
Liu Tian Xin's hand that was holding the wine cup trembled slightly, and then she laughed at herself and said: "What quarrel? I am a prisoner of the Duke's Palace, what right do I have to quarrel with the King Lu Lord?"
She remembered what Yan Jue had said at the beginning, and said sullenly, her heart feeling gloomy and uncomfortable, she drank the strong alcohol in her cup with one gulp.
Liu Ruo Qing did not care about this, she placed the cooked food into a bowl and handed it over to her, and said: "I know that because of me, you have suffered. I will go back and talk to Yan Yuan, and have them let you go."
Liu Tian Xin lifted her eyes to look at Liu Ruo Qing. She was not pleasantly surprised at all, and only said: "Didn't you get implicated by me? I don't have any unhappiness or grievances, it's just that …"
She swallowed her words back, not knowing what to say.
Liu Ruo Qing didn't ask anymore and continued to speak her mind, "No matter what, I can't possibly keep you under house arrest forever, so that you can live your entire life wearing this human skin mask."
She looked at the stiff corner of Liu Tian Xin's mouth and laughed: "Even if we are willing, Eighth Brother is definitely not willing."
When Liu Tian Xin heard Liu Ruo Qing mentioning Yan Jue, the expression on her originally dull face instantly stiffened. The hand holding the cup also tightened up at the same time.
How could she not understand Liu Ruo Qing's teasing tone? However, Yan Jue's heartless words still rang in her ears from time to time.
"Yeah, he definitely doesn't want to. No matter how big of a business Prince Lu's Mansion is, there's no reason for him to keep a prisoner for the rest of his life."
Liu Ruo Qing knew that she was angry at him, so she comforted her: "I know what eighth brother is annoyed about, so don't bother with him, if he doesn't take you seriously, then he won't be annoyed about this kind of thing, and just throw you over to us, alright?"
Hearing her say that, Liu Tian Xin suddenly stared at Liu Ruo Qing with a strange gaze for a few seconds, after that, he gave her a smile with an unknown meaning, without saying anything, he raised his wine cup and drank the rest of his wine in one gulp.
