Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 549 He should have been the one.

Tuoba Liuli and Chu Xiaohe were not familiar with this person, but they seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

However, the person she was walking with was someone she not only knew well, but also loathed.

"Greetings, Prince Ning." Chu Xiaohe cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Shangfeng.

Tuoba Liuli only glanced at Lu Shangfeng's figure before ignoring him.

She was a princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and no one stipulated that a princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had to bow to a prince of the Eastern Mausoleum.

The woman walking with Lu Shangfeng was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had glamorous makeup. She was beautiful but also somewhat vulgar.

Chu Xiaohe finally remembered that this was the newlywed princess of Prince Ning, and also the daughter of the Minister Liu Jinlian, who was rumored to have been broken into by Prince Ning in the middle of the night.

Their marriage was somewhat hasty, and it was clear that the emperor was not too pleased with it, but he had no choice but to grant the marriage and order the two to be together.

The marriage was completed within three days. Chu Xiaohe also sent someone to deliver gifts, but he did not attend the ceremony himself, as he left the city on official business that day.

Since the relationship with Prince Ning has already soured, I might as well not go; there's no point in giving him face anyway.

Lu Shangfeng's gaze remained fixed on Tuoba Liuli.

After some time apart, she seemed to have grown even more beautiful. Not only had her skin become more radiant and translucent, but even her eyes appeared more bright and clear.

"Is the Seventh Princess's eye healed?" Lu Shangfeng couldn't quite express his feelings towards Tuoba Liuli at this moment.

Perhaps it was a sense of regret that she should have been his woman.

After all, they were betrothed in the first place, but who knew things would turn out like that?

During this period, Lu Shangfeng himself calmed down. Everything was caused by the fourth prince, and there was another culprit, Chu Xiaohe.

He couldn't bring himself to hate Chu Yueli and Tuoba Liuli. After all, they were both great beauties, and who could bear to hate them?

The ones who should be hated are those two damned men!

Tuoba Liuli smiled indifferently and said, "It'll be ready soon. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"Yes, our prince is such a good man, he would care about any woman's wife!" Liu Jinlian just couldn't stand Tuoba Liuli, this woman was the one who was supposed to be betrothed to her husband.

If Lu Shangfeng hadn't inexplicably pulled this stunt, barging into her boudoir in a daze and being caught red-handed by the people from the Minister's residence, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to become the Princess Consort of Ning.

But she knew that Prince Ning had married her unwillingly, and that he hadn't touched her even once in all the time they had been married.

They had already been intimate, and Prince Ning had grown tired of her and was preparing to abandon her. Their marriage was completely unexpected for Liu Jinlian.

Seeing the deep regret hidden in her husband's eyes when he looked at Tuoba Liuli, how could Liu Jinlian feel comfortable?

"Seventh Princess, I heard you've been living in the Duke's mansion. Your wedding with the Marquis must be just around the corner, right?" Liu Jinlian smiled as she looked at Tuoba Liuli. "Perhaps, Father will bestow a marriage upon you two tonight! Otherwise, it's not a good thing for a young lady like you to be living in the Marquis's courtyard all this time, is it?"

It turns out that the seventh princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not only lived in the Duke's mansion, but also in the courtyard of the Marquis of Chu!

Doesn't this mean that the Seventh Princess has already been the Marquis's woman?

Upon hearing this, the people around looked at Tuoba Liuli with amusement in their eyes, while the women looked on with disdain.

Some people couldn't help but whisper among themselves: "Are all the girls in Eastern Zhou so self-deprecating? As princesses, their behavior is so improper; they're a disgrace to Eastern Zhou!"
