Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 168 - 128

But just as Chen Xixi finished speaking, the door to Lu Ziyuan’s room upstairs made a resounding crash.

Two nearly naked women flew out.

They directly crossed over the second-floor railing and heavily fell into the first-floor hall.

They vomited blood on the spot and fainted.

Witnessing everything first-hand, Chen Xixi and the dancing girls screamed, faces full of fright, and retreated repeatedly.

If they had not left earlier, would they be lying here now?

The chaotic scene didn’t last long; the Madam sent the girls back to their rooms, and a few prostitutes showed up to take the injured women away.

Mingjian and Ming Feng exchanged glances, both looking grim. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

They had presumptuously sent people to the master’s room, far better if he had accepted them, but...

Time slipped away bit by bit, as the dozen personal soldiers stood motionless in the hall.

No one knew how long it took, but darkness gradually fell outside, and red candles were lit in the brothel hall.

From the upstairs room whose door had been completely dismantled, a figure walked out. He first turned to glance at the tightly closed door of the adjacent room, then slowly stepped downstairs.

Lu Ziyuan’s steps down the stairs were very slow, his voice very somber, making people feel tense and inexplicably nervous.

Mingjian and Ming Feng shuddered all over and immediately kneeled on one knee, followed by a dozen soldiers behind them who also knelt in unison.

"Still inside?" Lu Ziyuan asked.

"Yes!" Mingjian replied, "He never came out."

"What about the people? Did he let them stay?"

"...They were all driven out."

After he finished speaking, the sound of a door opening came from upstairs.

Lu Ziyuan turned back, and their eyes met.

Pei Yuqing’s clothing was neat. Except for the flush beneath his eyes, even his hair crown was untied, still appearing as graceful as ever.

He stepped downstairs and said flatly, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Lu, but it’s getting late, so I wish to return to the mansion. Perhaps we can meet another day."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyuan first looked at him intently for a few moments, then glanced sideways at the two subordinates.

Mingjian said, "It has been more than two hours."

Lu Ziyuan himself had succumbed to the aphrodisiac powder, and nobody understood better than him how these two hours had been endured.

At this moment, the drug’s effects had indeed faded.

If this sickly man were truly a man, even if he forcibly suppressed his desires, he wouldn’t be able to remain so calm.

The truth was clear at a glance.

"Wanwan’s words were indeed not false," he chuckled lightly and said, "In this state, and you’re still unwilling to let go?"

Behind him, Mingjian and Ming Feng also showed expressions of ridicule.

In the face of such a scene, for any man, no matter how well they cultivated self-restraint, they probably couldn’t endure not an ounce.

Yet Pei Yuqing’s expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Lu Ziyuan, his lips curled into a subtle arc, and without saying a word, he directly turned and left.

Lu Ziyuan’s breath hitched, his heart inexplicably panicked, almost instinctively wanting to keep him here.

But outside Cuiyun Pavilion, Pei Er had already been waiting with quite a few men for some time.

Once they engaged, it would turn into another confrontation.

At that point, all sorts of sensational rumors would once again sweep in.

The girl who had already started living a peaceful life would again be dragged into the eye of the storm.

He didn’t fear the disturbance of rumors, nor worry about other things, but the result of her being murdered in the last life was still vivid in his mind.

The current situation is not clear, and until the Crown Prince is overthrown, he shouldn’t show concern for her, shouldn’t argue with Pei Yuqing for her, shouldn’t let people see his obsession and place her in danger.
