Seeing Yan Yunshu didn't respond, Xu Jinghuai's eyes were filled with hatred. He said fiercely, "Let me make it clear to you first, the wound on your head was not caused by me..."

The secret guard hiding on the beam couldn't help but click his tongue. He had never heard the second prince talk so much in his life and no one paid attention to him.

"My father smashed it."

As Yan Yunshu spoke, she became much more sober.

He got up from the couch, sat on the chair by the window, and watched the snow still falling outside.

Xu Jinghuai said with a cold face, "What does it have to do with me?"

The secret guard on the beam was still dumbfounded. Who was it that saw the wound and yelled so anxiously just now?

"Xu Jinghuai, if you want to ask something, just ask it directly. Do you really think I can't see through your tricks?"

"Yan Yunshu, you seem to be a bit like your former self now. You'd better wake up and stop making me look down on you."

"Everyone says the Second Prince is aloof and arrogant, but how come no one knows that our Second Prince has a few knives hidden in his mouth..."

"I don't know if there's a knife in my mouth, but you're the granddaughter of the great Marquis Wen! You've learned to be so tolerant and don't even know how to fight back when you're hurt. How can I respect you?"

"He fought back. You can look at the wound between his eyebrows someday. Who am I, Yan Yunshu? I am the most evil woman in Tianze. If a dog bites me, I will bite it back."

While emphasizing Prime Minister Yan's wound, Yan Yunshu took the opportunity to point at the cloak and deliberately revealed the wound on the palm of her hand.

Did you see Xu Jinghuai? His palm is still injured!

Xu Jinghuai's expression suddenly changed. He frowned, remained silent for a moment, and whispered, "Why are you pointing at that cloak?"

"He hit me because of this cloak! He and Yan Shuyao both said that I stole the cloak!"

Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai's expression. She knew that Xu Jinghuai was smart and could see through her thoughts at a glance. This cloak couldn't have been stolen by her. It could only be that her father's concubine's sister was deliberately targeting her!

The entire prime minister's residence is targeting her and is her enemy!

"The cloak is mine."

Xu Jinghuai's eyebrows were as frosty as ice, and his words were cold and firm.

"What? Yours?" Yan Yunshu was shocked.

Xu Jinghuai suppressed the mixed emotions of hatred and pity in his heart and spoke in a cold voice.

"Well, that day, seeing that you were about to die of cold, I simply threw this unwanted cloak to you."

The secret guard on the beam couldn't help but complain in his heart, thinking that the prince had a bad memory. This cloak was the prince's favorite.

Yan Yunshu was somewhat moved when she heard that the cloak belonged to Xu Jinghuai, but now after hearing him say that, that feeling of being moved disappeared.

His mind and eyes were filled with plans to drag Xu Jinghuai into the trap.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "You might as well just freeze me to death!"

Xu Jinghuai's face froze. "I hadn't thought of that, but I'm very busy and don't have time to discuss this with you. I'll explain the matter of the cloak to your father when I send you back home later."

When Yan Yunshu heard the word "father", she felt that the atmosphere was about right. She thought for a few seconds and finally spoke.

"It's useless to say it."

"I think you're just a paper tiger. You appear lawless, but in reality you're at the mercy of others. It's ridiculous."

Yan Yunshu was originally full of scheming, and this time Xu Jinghuai provoked her even more anger. She gritted her teeth and fought back.

"You are a real tiger. You bite everyone you see."

"A real tiger is better than you. At least I won't let anyone manipulate me and do stupid things just because of a man."

"Xu Jinghuai!! Why do you act like a nagging woman?! How did I offend you?!"

Xu Jinghuai was stunned, and his icy face became even colder and more intimidating.

Yan Yunshu didn't mention Kaihao, and he got even angrier when she did.

His cold face became even gloomier.

How did you offend me? Can't you think about it carefully? Going against me for a blind man, isn't that offending me?

When I was young, you verbally humiliated me, told me to get out of your sight, and ignored my kindness to you.

Doesn't that count as provoking me?

He said coldly, "I won't interfere with your emotional affairs. It's up to you..."

The secret guards on the beams were stunned. My God, who ordered them to inquire about Yan Yunshu and the eldest prince all day long?

Yan Yunshu suddenly stood up and shouted anxiously.

"What do you mean by that? You suddenly came to my residence today. Are you here to inform me that you have asked your father to reject our marriage?"

Xu Jinghuai had a sour face.

"No."

The secret guard on the beam nodded and said, "That's right!"

At that time, it was you, Your Highness, who couldn't sleep at night, worried that the emperor would grant a marriage between Yan Yunshu and the eldest prince. After hearing the news that Yan Yunshu refused the marriage, you rushed to the palace without stopping!

Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and thought for a moment.

"Then can you take me home later?"

Xu Jinghuai sat opposite Yan Yunshu without saying a word.

Yan Yunshu sighed.

"I just don't want to run into Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye when I return home. They might still be waiting for me."

Xu Jinghuai sneered and sat opposite Yan Yunshu.

"Xu Jingye said that sooner or later you will kneel down and beg him to marry you."

Yan Yunshu wanted to deny it outright, but when she thought about how she almost lost control of herself today, her expression became more and more serious.

"So he was right, right?" Xu Jinghuai's eyes were like icy thorns, as if he wanted to pierce through Yan Yunshu's thoughts.

She bit her lip and said, "There won't be such a day. If it does, please kill me."

She didn't know what obsessions her previous self still had in this life. Before she found the answer, she would either die or marry Xu Jinghuai. In short, there would be no Xu Jingye in her future life.

"I'd rather die by your hand than marry him. You can't stand me anyway! This is just what you want!"

Xu Jinghuai sneered, with anger and hatred in his chest.

"Not to mention that I can't possibly bear your life, even if you're still unsure whether to ask him to marry you, if you can't let go, then don't bother me. Do you really think my Huai Palace is a place where you can break up and get back together and talk about love?"

"Xu Jinghuai, you must marry me. If you are unwilling to marry me because you don't trust me, I will jump off the city wall and die once and for all."

Yan Yunshu's words were too serious and too resolute, which immediately pierced Xu Jinghuai's heart.

"Yan Yunshu!"

Xu Jinghuai's cold and stern face suddenly approached her and he looked at her fiercely.

"I don't know why you're so conflicted, but I warn you, if you die, I'll kill your grandfather. Kill everyone you care about!"

Yan Yunshu was terribly shocked. She looked at Xu Jinghuai in disbelief. She had never expected that there was someone in the world who was even crazier than herself. But what did her death have to do with him? Did she just want to drag him into the trap?

"You're crazy."

Xu Jinghuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Same here."

"Then Xu Jinghuai, will you still marry me?" Yan Yunshu asked.

Xu Jinghuai's brows suddenly became colder. He looked into Yan Yunshu's eyes with a probing look, his brows furrowed.

There was still a hint of hatred in his eyes.

He replied with one word.

"Marry!"
