PNB Chapter 329 Bastard
Chapter 329 Bastard
"..."
That Qin Chen is truly a scoundrel!
Yang Ling clenched her fists in anger.
He didn't understand why Qin Chen treated him like this.
He abandoned Fengluan first, so what right does he have to look down on him now?
"Qin Chen!"
Yang Ling suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, slowly turned around, his back straight as a pine tree, and said, word by word, "I only hope that you will not interfere in the affairs between the Qin family and the Yang family."
"casual."
Qin Chen said casually.
He jumped out of bed, walked to the dressing table, took out a mirror and fixed his hair. Then, he reached out and tugged at the belt around his waist, broke it, and threw it aside.
“Young Master,” the guard said respectfully from outside the courtyard, “the Princess Consort has arrived.”
"Ah."
Qin Chen nodded: "Let her in."
……
The door opened, and a girl in a green dress stepped in.
She was as elegant as an orchid, with skin as smooth as jade, a smile on her lips, and unparalleled beauty.
Yang Ling stared blankly at the girl who had suddenly barged in.
In his memory, the girl always kept her head down and didn't like to talk.
She was timid and cowardly, as if she would always only be able to follow Feng Luan and had no right to stand beside her.
That's why he chose to give up on Fengluan back then.
When we met again, she had changed a lot.
"Phoenix Perching..."
Yang Ling murmured to herself, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Feng Qi looked up, her gaze calm as she looked at Yang Ling: "I'm here to tell you that I've thought it through. Since you're unwilling to marry me, I won't force you. We'll each get what we need."
Yang Ling's pupils suddenly contracted, her gaze fixed on the girl in front of her, her mouth trembling: "What did you say?"
“I am willing to marry Qin Chen, but all I need is for you to stand by my side when the Yang family is in trouble,” Feng Qi smiled slightly. “In addition, I don’t like anyone in the Qin family, so you’d better make sure the Qin family and the Yang family sever all ties.”
Yang Ling's gaze became unfocused, and she closed her eyes in pain.
She ultimately chose to marry Qin Chen.
"Feng Qi, do you really disregard our past?"
Feng Qi laughed mockingly, her eyes glistening with tears.
"The past?" She shook her head. "Yang Ling, from beginning to end, it wasn't me who wronged you, it was you who wronged me."
Yang Ling's face was pale. He slowly opened his eyes and gave a bitter smile: "You're right. It is indeed me who has wronged you. It is I who have wronged you."
If he hadn't been so stubborn, perhaps Feng Qi would still be the high and mighty Princess Tianfeng, instead of being reduced to a concubine.
It's a pity if he had realized it sooner...
They won't miss each other!
"Go away, we never need to see each other again."
Feng Qi lowered her eyes, concealing the pain in them.
She didn't want to see him again, but they were childhood sweethearts, and she couldn't bring herself to completely sever ties with him.
"I am leaving."
Yang Ling gave Feng Qi a deep look, then turned and walked towards the door.
But as he took a step, he paused, turned back to look at Feng Qi behind him, and sighed softly.
“Feng Qi, there are some things I’ve already let go of. I hope you can let go too. Neither I nor Qin Chen owe you anything.”
Feng Qi pursed her lips and remained silent, lowering her eyes.
Yang Ling didn't linger for a moment longer and quickly disappeared at the threshold.
Feng Qi raised her head, her eyes were a little moist, but a smile was on her lips.
She finally let go.
……
Inside the government office, Qin Chen sat at his desk, his long legs crossed. His handsome face was expressionless, and he exuded a chilling aura.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
An elderly man in a black robe strode in from outside the door and bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
"How's the investigation going?" Qin Chen asked.
"Your Highness, we have found out that the person who caused trouble at the auction that day was the third young master of the Yang family. He has an excellent personal relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, which is why he did such a thing."
Qin Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze gradually turning cold: "Continue to keep an eye on things, and send back any news immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old man in black robes accepted the order and withdrew.
Qin Chen rubbed his tired temples when suddenly, with a bang, the door was kicked open.
Yang Ling rushed in, holding two portraits in his hands.
“Your Highness,” he said with delight, “I bought two portraits when I was passing by the street just now. Do you recognize these two people?”
Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at Yang Ling with surprise.
Fengqi said he didn't know those two people?
How do you know I don't know them?
Yang Ling smiled: "I have lived in Fengcheng for several years, so I naturally know that you do not know them. However... as far as I know, these two are disciples of Yunshan. The portraits of Yunshan disciples are all registered in Yunshan."
"Oh," Qin Chen calmly took a sip of tea, "That was my oversight; I completely forgot about them."
He never expected that the portraits of Yunshan disciples would be leaked.
This is normal, though. Disciples of Yunshan would not easily leave their sect, and their portraits would even be engraved on stone tablets.
Unfortunately, he failed to become a disciple of Yunshan Sect, otherwise Fengqi would not have been able to take advantage of the situation and steal his portrait.
Yang Ling pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, what business do you have with these people?"
"It's nothing," Qin Chen shrugged. "I just wanted to find some people to help me. Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. We're brothers. If you're in trouble, just let me know."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "I just felt that I should have gone with you on your way back to the capital this time, otherwise you might not have returned for who knows how long..."
Qin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Didn't I promise you? When I come back, I will definitely come to see you. My return to Beijing this time can be considered as fulfilling my promise to your father."
Feng Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her eyes to hide the sorrow within.
"it is good."
She forced a smile and said.
"Now that everything is alright, I should head back to Phoenix Perch Tower."
Feng Qi concealed the pain in her eyes, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Qin Chen frowned slightly.
This time, Fengqi's reaction seemed to be stronger than ever before.
Was she afraid he would reject her? Or perhaps she was afraid he would look down on her?
"Phoenix Perching!"
Feng Qi froze, her back to Qin Chen, without turning around.
"You should think it over carefully before deciding whether to marry Qin Chen. If you really intend to divorce, you can come to me anytime. I'll be waiting for you."
Yang Ling clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and blood dripped from her fingertips.
She took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and smiled brightly: "Okay, I'll come find you."
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Qin Chen's face again and hurriedly turned and left.
Qin Chen only turned his gaze away after Feng Qi's figure disappeared from sight.
The man's brows were shrouded in gloom, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
