Chapter 520 Kidnapping
Chapter 520 Kidnapping
Prince Rong had no choice but to come up and pull him over himself: "Ninth brother, if you have anything to say, let's go to the front and talk. It's not decent for you to barge into someone's inner courtyard like this."
Zhou Chang just stared at Wen Qingyan: "I just want to talk to him alone."
Wen Qingyan still refused: "I have nothing to say to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, please go back."
"If you don't talk, I won't leave. Today..." As Zhou Chang was pushing and shoving Prince Rong, he suddenly felt something heavy in his arms. An idea suddenly occurred to him. He broke away from Prince Rong with great force and pulled the stunned Yuan Yun towards Prince Rong.
"Ah..." Yuan Yun was unaware that she was being used as a "weapon" and almost fell down. Fortunately, the two maids who followed her held her up.
Prince Rong was startled and had to move aside.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Chang took two steps to Wen Qingyan and took out a jade pendant with intertwined branches from his bosom: "Do you know what this is? Talk to me, it's about her."
It was getting dark, but the lights in the inner courtyard had not yet been lit.
In the dim light, nothing could be seen clearly.
But Wen Qingyan only took a glance and froze on the spot: "How...how did this end up in your hands?"
Zhou Chang used the beam of light to retract the jade pendant, mainly because he didn't want Wen Qingyan to see the crack in the middle of the jade pendant. He then went up and grabbed Wen Qingyan: "Come on, talk to me, just the two of us."
"She gave... to you?" Wen Qingyan's eyes widened in shock.
"Do you want to know? Let's find a place to talk." Zhou Chang just wanted to find another place to ask in detail.
Wen Qingyan's eyes, as bright as stars, flickered continuously. He pursed his lips tightly and uttered three words after a long while: "Go to the study."
"Okay..." Zhou Chang quickly agreed, pulled Wen Qingyan along and left.
"Hey...Prince..." Yuan Yun suddenly called out from behind. Although she called "Prince", there was only Wen Qingyan in her eyes.
"You..." Zhou Chang almost forgot about Yuan Yun, but he couldn't let her disturb the bride. "In fact, you are prettier than the bride. I was wrong just now. Now I am here to testify. Why don't you go back first?"
"I don't want to hear this." Yuan Yun stomped her feet.
"Then what do you want to do? Do you just want to see him?" Zhou Chang pointed at Wen Qingyan.
"You...you guys..." Wen Qingyan has never had any other women in his eyes, and he can't stand Zhou Chang even more.
Yuan Yun suddenly asked in a daze: "Master Wen, do you still remember who I am?"
Wen Qingyan was puzzled and didn't even look at him. He just asked Zhou Chang, "Your Highness Prince Yi brought his new princess here today. What exactly is he doing here?"
Zhou Chang couldn't let Yuan Yun come out to disrupt the situation at this time, so he grinned at Prince Rong and said, "Brother Prince Rong, I have something to discuss with the top scholar, and I would like to trouble you to take care of the princess for me."
"You..." Brother Prince Rong was already so angry that his face turned blue, and he still wanted to teach him a lesson.
However, Zhou Chang did not give Wen Qingyan any chance and quickly left with him.
Yuan Yun was in a dilemma and realized that she was being used by Zhou Chang. She had bitten her lower lip with her pearly teeth, leaving teeth marks.
Zhou Chang followed Wen Qingyan all the way to the study in the Wen Mansion.
As soon as he entered the study, before Wen Qingyan closed the door, he asked, "Why are you so eager to get married?"
Wen Qingyan said nothing, closed the door first, then took a lighter and lit the oil lamp.
Zhou Chang just took a quick look in the candlelight.
This study was obviously just a makeshift one, with just a simple desk, a set of bookshelves and a round table in front.
Without Wen Qingyan saying anything, Zhou Changxian found a stool and sat down at the round table.
Wen Qingyan obviously didn't want to talk for long. Although he turned on the light, he stood there motionless.
"You sit down too. I'm afraid what we want to say cannot be expressed in just a few words." Zhou Chang took the initiative.
Although Wen Qingyan's eyes were still as bright as stars, he remained silent and just stared at Zhou Chang's face.
Zhou Chang felt a little uneasy after being stared at: "What are you looking at? You haven't answered my question yet."
Wen Qingyan stared for a long while, then sighed inaudibly. His expression darkened before he sat down dejectedly. His voice became even colder: "You stepped on Qihua's jade pendant and broke it, but you didn't expect Qihua to leave it to you. But looking at you like this, do you really know what this jade pendant means?"
Every time Zhou Chang heard Wen Qingyan call Yuan Qi by his courtesy name, he felt uncomfortable.
Wen Qingyan laughed at himself, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Haha... you forget your principles when you see profit, and you abandon Qihua in the end. How can you accept Qihua's kindness..."
"Wait, what did you say? I forgot my principles when I saw the benefits, and I abandoned you after having fun with you?" Zhou Chang was greatly surprised. Isn't this just turning the tables?
Wen Qingyan's pale and haggard face was tinged with a bit of blood in the dim candlelight, and he became vividly handsome, but the words he said were even colder: "You helped her, but you also forced her to marry you. Now that you have found a more powerful backer, you abandon her again. Isn't this forgetting your loyalty for the sake of profit and abandoning her after having sex with her?"
"Didn't you hear what I said just now? I didn't abandon her after having sex with her." Zhou Chang argued, "Besides, she left me on her own initiative, but I didn't abandon her."
Wen Qingyan just smiled coldly, seeming not to believe it.
He has a godly face, but he has to trade his brain for it.
Zhou Chang complained in his heart, but he didn't want to explain too much to Wen Qingyan, so he just asked: "As for you, since the opportunity was right in front of you, why didn't you go find her? Why didn't you stay with her?"
Wen Qingyan's cold eyes suddenly turned into sorrow, but he didn't intend to answer, just immersed himself in his own memories.
Wen Qingyan's handsome and beautiful face is both sad and beautiful.
Zhou Chang, however, no longer had the heart to admire the handsome guy, and he also smiled coldly: "Haha, it turns out that the real person who forgets his principles for the sake of profit is someone else. The daughter of a great general is much more noble than the daughter of a merchant."
"Bang..." Wen Qingyan slammed his fists on the table, his bright eyes turned into anger, "You are the high and mighty prince, so you should focus on your future. You are not qualified to judge the affairs between me and Qihua. I will also take full responsibility for the affairs of the Yuan family, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Yuan family's affairs? What Yuan family's affairs? What are you responsible for?" Zhou Chang naturally heard the hidden meaning.
Wen Qingyan obviously wanted to say something unpleasant, but he thought highly of himself and his upbringing did not allow him to do so, so he could only say dryly, "None of your business."
"Tell me quickly, has anything happened to the Yuan family?" Zhou Chang already had a bad feeling.
Wen Qingyan bit her lower lip tightly, looking as if she didn't intend to answer anymore.
"Bang..." This time it was Zhou Chang's turn to smash the table. "Hurry up and tell me, or I won't let you go today."
Wen Qingyan probably thought that Zhou Chang's threat was not false, and he bit his lower lip before uttering, "Uncle Yuan has been kidnapped."
"What?" Zhou Chang was stunned. "Who are you talking about? Old Master?"
