Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The matchmaker was kicked to the ground and screamed in pain.

The maid knelt to the side, trembling, not daring to utter a sound.

Qin Mingyue glanced at her and said unhappily, "You, get out of here and call the prince back. If you can't call him back, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Yes...yes!" The maid was so frightened that she ran away quickly.

The old woman finally managed to get up, only to be kicked again by Qin Mingyue: "Get out!"

The matchmaker stumbled and rolled away too.

Qin Mingyue sat alone at the table, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

On her wedding night, the groom disappeared without a trace. If word got out, where would Princess Mingyue put her face?

Now that midnight has passed and the guests have long since left, he is not returning not because the guests are holding him back, but because he simply does not want to come back.

Even now, do you still think about that bitch Chu Yueli?

Footsteps sounded outside, and soon the door was pushed open.

Qin Mingyue poured herself another glass of wine before slowly looking towards the door: "So you've finally decided to come back? I thought..."

Her words stopped abruptly after she clearly saw the figure standing in the doorway.

"How did you get here?" Qin Mingyue frowned, staring at the person who entered from outside, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You're still alive!"

"Of course you don't want me to still be alive!" Tuoba Feiyuan walked in, her steps slow, but she quickly reached Qin Mingyue's side: "Tuoba Mingyue, long time no see. It's really unexpected that you're still alive!"

Qin Mingyue lowered her eyes, concealing the murderous intent within them, and then sneered, "Who is Tuoba Mingyue? Who do you think you're talking to? I am the daughter of Prince Yu, Princess Mingyue! You mere daughter of a rebel, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to me?"

"Tuoba Mingyue, do you think you can sever all ties with the past by changing your identity? You are not only the daughter of a rebel, you are also a member of the rebels!"

Although she didn't know why Tuoba Mingyue had become Qin Mingyue, or why she could be betrothed to Prince Jin even after becoming a princess, one thing was certain... "You don't like A-Jin, yet you want to marry him. What are your true intentions?"

Qin Mingyue pursed her lips and sneered, "Who do you think you are to speak to me, a princess? What business is it of yours who I like or dislike?"

"Are you colluding with the Ink King to harm A-Jin?" Tuoba Feiyuan pointed at her, her eyes filled with hatred. "Tuoba Mingyue, I won't let you succeed!"

Qin Mingyue scoffed, dismissing her warning with disdain.

"You're barely able to protect yourself, yet you dare to try and warn this princess?" She flicked the dust from her fingertips and leisurely poured herself a cup of fragrant tea. "Weren't you imprisoned in the dungeon? Why did you escape? Does Prince Jin know?"

Tuoba Feiyuan said coldly, "If Ajin hadn't agreed, would I have been here?"

"Oh? So, he forgave you?" Qin Mingyue glanced at her sideways. "Heh, you were injured? You didn't hurt yourself to put on an act to gain his pity, did you?"

Tuoba Feiyuan was pale and walked with a slightly unsteady gait, showing signs of recovering from serious injuries.

Qin Mingyue hasn't visited the Prince Jin's residence recently, nor has she inquired about anything there. She's currently unaware of anything concerning Tuoba Feiyuan.

However, she will be the mistress of this palace in the future, and it will be easy for her to know anything she wants.
