Chapter 1232: 601 The Wrath of Marquis Xuanping (Part 2)_2

This is quite the slap in the face.

They had traveled a long distance to deliver items to Princess Xinyang, yet not only were their gifts refused, they were even thrown out directly!

Gui Momma was immediately indignant, "My lord! We are from the Liang Prince’s residence! I am here under the orders of the old Liang Prince’s consort!"

The identities of the old Liang Prince and his consort are incredibly prestigious; even the current Empress Dowager must address them respectfully by their ranks as uncle and auntie when she sees them.

As the grandson of their generation, how dare the Marquis of Xuanping act this way!

The Marquis of Xuanping indeed dared!

Upon hearing Gui Momma’s threat, he didn’t even lift an eyelid but just leaned back lazily in his chair.

Despite Gui Momma standing and himself sitting, he somehow had an aura of ultimate supremacy.

The Marquis of Xuanping said imperiously, "Are you not leaving yet, or are you waiting for me to chase you out?"

Gui Momma was furious, "You!"

One of the servants beside her said sarcastically, "Forget it, Momma. The Marquis of Xuanping has always been arrogant; it’s not just a day or two’s matter! At worst, we go back and report to the old Liang Prince’s consort, let her grace settle it with His Majesty! We’ll see if anyone dare bully us, thinking that because the old Liang Prince has retired from his official post and is not working in the Capital City anymore, they can simply overlook our Liang Prince’s residence!"

Naturally, this was another threat directed at the Marquis of Xuanping. They couldn’t believe that he wasn’t afraid of the old Liang Prince’s consort or the current sovereign himself!

To their dismay, the Marquis of Xuanping showed no sign of intimidation.

Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, then said to Gui Momma and her entourage, "My lord has just established military merits. Do any of you think that at this critical juncture, His Majesty would do anything to him? It’s just driving out a few servants! Not banishing your prince and princess!"

My lord.

This was the first time Yujin had addressed the Marquis of Xuanping this way.

The Marquis of Xuanping’s eyebrows quirked, "Heard that? Then scram."

Gui Momma gritted her teeth, "You should not..."

Whoosh!

The Marquis of Xuanping drew a long sword from behind his wheelchair.

"Murder!" Gui Momma screamed in terror, running for her life while holding her head!

The others also scrambled into their carriages, forgetting even to take their gifts with them. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Yujin instructed the maids to throw these obnoxious items back onto their carriages, and the group left in disgrace.

The Marquis of Xuanping tossed the long sword to the coachman and wheeled himself into the courtyard.

He went to Princess Xinyang’s room and, unsurprisingly, found her wide awake, sitting on the bed with a pale face.

The wheelchair couldn’t enter.

The Marquis of Xuanping thought for a moment, stood up, lifted the wheelchair over the threshold, and then sat back down in it.

He approached her bed, and Princess Xinyang turned away, her back facing him.

That meant she was refusing to communicate.

Considering her illness, the Marquis of Xuanping didn’t dare get too close. He looked around to make sure all doors and windows were open before saying to her, "Qin Fengwan..."

"Don’t ask," said Princess Xinyang softly.

The Marquis of Xuanping hesitated, swallowing the words that had reached his lips, "Okay, I won’t ask. I just came to tell you that you’re my wife, Xiao Ji’s wife, and no one can bully you."

Having said that, he planned to wheel himself out.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t very skilled at maneuvering the wheelchair, struggling for a while without managing to turn it around.

He simply stood up, lifted the wheelchair by hand, and repositioned it.

Just as he had set the wheelchair down on the ground, he faintly heard Princess Xinyang murmur, as if half questioning, "I am still a princess, am I not?"

The Marquis of Xuanping furrowed his brows.

He didn’t linger, afraid that staying too long would make her feel uncomfortable again.

But what the Marquis of Xuanping hadn’t expected was that as soon as he left, the old Liang Prince’s consort came for a visit.

This time, she personally made the effort to pay a visit.

The old Liang Prince’s consort was advanced in years, her health greatly deteriorated, making it difficult for her to move about. Although she could still walk, she mostly used a wheelchair.
