After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 189

Ning Si, however, no longer cared about him and turned to leave.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat and he almost lost his footing. He grabbed her hand and asked in his rich, mellow voice, "Ning Si, what are you talking about?"

Ning Si felt her insides twist into knots. Facing his heavy, grievous eyes, she also felt bad, but in order for this proud man to accept her in the future, she had to keep up the act.

"Anyway, I no longer have any relationship with Your Highness. What I do has nothing to do with you."

"You—"

"It was Your Highness who told me to get lost. Now I'm leaving. Please let go of my hand, Your Highness."

Li Hao spoke urgently as he watched the tears roll down the girl's face. His heart suddenly burned chaotically and ached unbearably. "When did I ever tell you to get lost?"

Ning Si unreasonable said, "Whatever Si Fu says is what Your Highness says."

The man's eyes reddened at the corners and complex emotions surged in the depths of his eyes. "I—"

Ning Si looked at him earnestly, hoping he would say something else.

The many emotions in the man's eyes could only be turned into a watery gaze that settled on the woman's face.

She cried, and it pained him. If she died... what point was there in him still living?

But with him here, he would not let her have a chance to commit suicide.

With his current state, he feared there would not be good days left for him to live. Ning Si marrying Li Yang was the best choice for her.

Knowing he would not speak, Ning Si let out a bitter laugh. The rising mist in her eyes made the man's figure before her look somewhat blurred. "Does Your Highness think I'm just joking around?"

Li Hao was silent for a moment.

Ning Si was young. Of course he would feel that a little girl's temper and angry words were not to be taken seriously. How could she really go so far as to die?

But in the next moment, Ning Si decisively pushed open the window of the warm pavilion and jumped straight into the cold pond outside.

At this, the man's eyes instantly turned red.

"Ning Si!"

...

Once out of Xihua Gate, Gu Ying immediately mounted her horse.

"Si Fu, you go back first. I'll go alone."

"Does the lady know where to find the Prince?"

"Yes."

Seeing the agile figure of the Prince's wife, Si Fu could not help but exclaim in admiration. As expected of the daughter of a prominent household.

Who said the Prince's wife was useless?

This figure, dashing and nimble, decisive and confident, was hundreds of times stronger than those delicate young ladies raised in the inner quarters.

No wonder people said that after the Commander got married, he became extremely henpecked. It made sense—having to face such a formidable wife, if the Commander wasn't afraid that would be strange indeed.

"But our Commander is the heir of Zhenguo Duke Manor. Let alone his martial prowess, just his imposing manner isn't something ordinary people can compare to. Do you really think he's henpecked? That's called loving your wife, understand?"

"Loving his wife? The Commander looks aloof and detached, not like someone who would like women."

"You guys don't know anything. A honey trap is where the lady's true prowess lies! You bachelors simply don't understand."

The corner of Wang Er's mouth twitched.

Most of the people here were married. It was not like all of them were henpecked, but every person could hug a woman when going to sleep at night.

He had heard the feeling was not bad at all, but to this day he still had not experienced it himself.

But seeing the occasional smiles on the Commander's cold and handsome face recently, he roughly understood that a woman's influence over a man was definitely significant.

With her hood on, Gu Ying's mind raced quickly.

If she remembered correctly, Princess Yueyan had an estate called Falling Sunset Manor in Bianjing that served as her residence when she went out of the palace to play.

His Majesty could not bear to have his only daughter move out of the imperial palace into a princess manor, so Princess Yueyan still lived in the palace most of the time to this day.

Falling Sunset Manor was usually vacant.

Now that she had brought the Prince out, they would surely head straight for the manor.

Having made up her mind, Gu Ying whipped the reins and rode forward.

The sound of galloping hooves cut through the bustling crowds, rushing towards Falling Sunset Manor.

However, as she passed through a dark alley, a cold arrow carrying an icy gust of wind suddenly came hurtling through the air.

Gu Ying quickly flattened herself against the horse's back to dodge the arrow.

She turned her head to look in the direction the arrow had been shot from and saw a tall figure standing far away at the mouth of the alley. It was too dark to make out his appearance.

But she still instantly recognized that familiar silhouette.

Jiang Yin!

Gu Ying's body trembled slightly as she clenched her teeth tightly. If it wasn't for the precarious state the Prince was in right now, she would have certainly stayed to fight Jiang Yin to the death.

But she could not yet...

The Prince was waiting for her.

The galloping sounds were deafening by her ear.

"You want to run?"

In the darkness, Jiang Yin casually stroked his sleeve, the corner of his mouth raised slightly as he indifferently watched Gu Ying's resolute retreating figure.

Thinking that she would not even spare a glance at him for a Zhao Changdu,

"Good!"

He gave a mocking laugh. His eyes were sinister and emitted a terrifying cold light.

"Gu Ying, you've fallen in love with Zhao Changdu so quickly?"

Although he was smiling, inexplicable jealousy kept burning in his heart, making him increasingly uncomfortable.

"Since you want to save him, I will make sure not to let you."

Savage fierceness flared in the man's eyes as he drew his bow again, aiming at the faint purple figure in the night wind...

...

Falling Sunset Manor.

Looking at the man lying on the couch, Princess Yueyan had never been so nervous.

She stared fixedly at the handsome and unparalleled face of the man, swallowing hard. "Zi Yuan, you...go out first."

Zi Yuan was worried and clung to Princess Yueyan's legs, pleading bitterly, "Princess, please don't do this. If the Empress finds out that you actually did this to the Prince...she will definitely erupt with rage."

"What are you afraid of? I'm Mother's only daughter." Princess Yueyan happily said, "If I manage to get intimate with brother Prince, Mother could make Father order the Prince to marry me. Wouldn't that be fantastic?"

How could the Prince marry the Princess? He was the most formidable and respected young war god in Dong Li!

The more Zi Yuan thought about it, the more afraid she became. She tugged at the Princess's skirts to stop her. "Princess, please don't do this. This drug...it's from Prince Shu. The Empress already dislikes Prince Shu. If she finds out that you conspired with Prince Shu and Concubine Mo..."
