Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Your Highness, you said before that you had something important to discuss. I wonder what it is exactly?" one of the family leaders asked cautiously.

Recently, Shangguan Xi has been putting more and more pressure on their family. For the survival of the family, they had to betray Master Huaichen and the Crown Prince who had always supported them.

But this Fourth Prince always makes people feel uneasy, fearing that he will do something unexpected next.

"You'll know in a moment." Shangguan Xi smiled contemptuously, interrupting their questions. "Now I want to enjoy this dance competition. You guys should watch it with me and don't ruin my mood."

At this time, Cao Ling walked up to Shangguan Xi, pointed at the dancers who were performing and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

Jiang Xue looked in the direction of Cao Ling's hand and noticed a particularly outstanding dancer in the center of the stage. She noticed that Shangguan Xi's gaze was also attracted to her and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Meng Wan, it's time to show your abilities.

Because Meng Wan's beauty was well-known in Huyin City, Jiang Xue asked Si Ruochen to help make an exquisite human skin mask. This mask was very much in line with Shangguan Xi's aesthetics, and when Meng Wan appeared wearing the mask, she immediately attracted Shangguan Xi's attention.

"Who is she?" Shangguan Xi pointed at Meng Wan and asked Cao Ling.

"Your Highness, she is an orphan who has just arrived in Huyin. I found her at the entrance of Si Le Fang."

Cao Ling replied that if it wasn't for the fact that she looked just like Shangguan Xi, he wouldn't care about a strange woman.

"And, Your Highness, she is a mute girl."

When they first met, he discovered that she was a mute.

"That's good. I prefer taciturn women." Shangguan Xi raised a sneer and fixed his eyes on the woman. No matter what the result of this competition was, he had decided to make her his own.

"Cao Ling, I've got this in mind. Please invite her over later."

"Yes, sir." Cao Ling replied. As long as Shangguan Xi was satisfied, everything else would be fine.

To him, these women were just stepping stones for him to climb to a higher position, and he didn't care about their fate. At this moment, his mind was focused on taking over the family position as soon as possible so that he could marry Cao Zhiqing openly!

"The game has begun." As the gongs and drums sounded, Jiang Xue whispered, and then she felt a cold gaze falling on her. Looking back, she saw a handsome man in dark purple standing behind her!

The man's eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could freeze people. His whole body exuded a dazzling light, making it difficult for people to look away.

His high bun was adorned with an exquisite jade dragon hairpin. The dragon was a symbol of good luck for the Ten Kingdoms, and only members of the royal family were qualified to wear it.

Obviously, this man is no ordinary person.

"I heard that you occupied my room." The man's voice was deep and powerful, full of dissatisfaction. He hated it most when others took away his things. He gently opened the folding fan in his hand, revealing that it was a weapon with a hidden mechanism.

Jiang Xue felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Facing the man's questioning, she knew that they were indeed at fault, so she stood up calmly and apologized politely: "I'm sorry, we do have reasons that we have to do so, please forgive us, sir."

After saying that, she bowed respectfully to the other party. The man was silent for a moment, put away his folding fan, and sat in the seat where Jiang Xue had just sat.

"Why do you always hide your true face?" After sitting down, he did not look back, but just looked at the performance on the stage and asked calmly.

"You are girls, can't you tell?" Shangguan Xun said to the man before Jiang Xue could.

The man just glanced at Shangguan Xun and ignored her. He continued to say to Jiang Xue, "Please sit down. For Shen Yunsheng's sake, I will not pursue this matter."

As he spoke, he pointed to the seat next to him with the iron fan in his hand. Jiang Xue's heart was shocked, as if she was struck by lightning. This person actually knew her master?

This means that he knows her true identity. Shangguan Xun asked curiously, "Who is Shen Yunsheng?" But she got no response.

Who is this man? Why does he know my background? What is his relationship with my master? Why is he here?

These questions surged in Jiang Xue's heart like waves.

But before she could sort out her thoughts, something unexpected happened on the stage.

Meng Wan, who was dancing, suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Shangguan Xi with a sharp blade shining with cold light.

Faced with this sudden attack, Shangguan Xi retreated quickly, while Cao Ling drew his sword to fight, but was forced to retreat step by step by the fierce offensive of "Meng Wan".

With a dull thud, Cao Ling's shoulder was pierced by the sword and he fell to the ground in pain.

Without Cao Ling's obstruction, "Meng Wan" attacked Shangguan Xi again. Shangguan Xi hurriedly used the two noble leaders beside him as human shields.

Seeing this, "Meng Wan" immediately stopped her actions, obviously not wanting to hurt innocent people.

This sudden attack plunged the entire Music Hall into chaos.

The dancers fled in all directions, the guests panicked and screamed, and except for the room where Jiang Xue was, everywhere else was in chaos.

That's not the real Meng Wan.

The moment she jumped up, Jiang Xue realized that the person wearing Meng Wan's mask was not Meng Wan herself.

Who is she? Where is the real Meng Wan now?

"You evil woman!"

Shangguan Xi took advantage of the moment when "Meng Wan" paused in her movements and tried to grab her hair, but accidentally pulled off a human skin mask.

Black hair fell like a waterfall, and a beautiful and familiar face came into Jiang Xue's eyes.

Clouds and smoke?

This woman was actually the Yunyan who had quietly left the young master's mansion?

"What a difficult woman!"

Seeing Yunyan's true face exposed, the man beside him frowned and spoke in a low voice with anger. Then, a purple figure flashed, and he quickly came to Yunyan's side, unfolded an iron fan, and easily blocked the hidden weapon thrown by Shangguan Xi when she was not prepared.

One of the hidden weapons hit Shangguan Xi's right eye directly.

Suddenly, blood gushed out, and Shangguan Xi fell to the ground wailing in pain, covering his injured eye.

The man glanced at them coldly, then gently put his arm around Yunyan's waist and took her away from everyone's sight in an instant.

Jiang Xue suddenly realized what was going on. Looking at the direction where the purple figure left, she remembered the voice that she had heard in the Cao family mansion.

This means that the woman who was left behind with her in the Cao family was Yunyan.

"What are you doing standing there, you bunch of idiots? Go and chase them. We must find the assassin and the man. Capture him as well."

Blood was flowing from Shangguan Xi's fingers. She kicked and hit the guards around her while giving orders with gritted teeth.

At this moment, he was like a wild beast out of control.
