The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

At the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, a heroic but angry woman rushed in through the gate, followed closely by a gentle man with an anxious look, shouting, "Zhu'er, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think."

Just a moment later, the man quickened his pace and tried hard to catch up.

At this time, Yan Liuzhu's eyes were red and swollen, and his eye sockets were filled with tears. It was obvious that he had just experienced a burst of crying and was very sad.

"Now that things have come to this, what else is there to explain? Your every move and every word at the banquet was clearly seen by everyone present!" Her voice was hoarse and choked, her eyes were full of despair and heartbreak, and she stared at the man in front of her, saying sadly, "No wonder you defended Qu Xinzhu so much before, it turns out that you have been secretly in love with her for a long time, and have evil intentions."

"Zhu'er, I am absolutely not like that..." Liao Wuchen's face was filled with anxiety, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He was eager to defend himself and try to save the situation.

Yan Liuzhu suddenly raised her hands to cover her ears and interrupted him emotionally: "I told you a long time ago that you are not allowed to call me like that again!"

When she thought about how he couldn't help but call the name "Zhu'er" to Prince Li's concubine at the banquet just now, she felt extremely disgusted when she heard him call her name "Zhu'er" again.

"Zhu...Liuzhu, just now at the banquet, I didn't know what happened to me. The moment I saw the concubine of Prince Li, I seemed to have lost my mind and was completely out of control. I really didn't mean it..." Le Wuchen explained anxiously, his eyes full of regret.

"Lost your mind? Unable to control yourself? Are you saying that you can't help yourself from loving her?" Yan Liuzhu mocked coldly, the disappointment in her eyes like a sharp blade, piercing people's hearts, "Liao Wuchen, you should know that I, Yan Liuzhu, am completely different from those ordinary girls. If you tell me that you love someone else, I will turn around and never bother you. But how can you treat me like a fool? In front of so many people, how can you let me save face? How can I feel embarrassed?"

"Liuzhu, all the mistakes are my fault." Liao Wuchen was extremely anxious. He held her hand tightly. Regardless of her struggle, he expressed his feelings eagerly, "Liuzhu, my love for you is witnessed by heaven and earth. It is absolutely true. You must believe me. As for the concubine of Prince Li, I only met her a few times by chance. I really don't have any love for her."

Yan Liuzhu didn't believe it at all. He pulled his hand back and said coldly, "Then how do you explain your inappropriate behavior at the banquet?"

"I... I really don't know what's wrong with me." Liao Wuchen frowned, his face full of confusion and fear.

There was indeed nothing false in what he said. Ever since he first saw Qu Xinzhu, he inexplicably felt that there was a destined entanglement between him and her. Even though he tried his best to break free, that involuntary feeling always followed him like a shadow, filling him with anxiety.

At this moment, a figure staggered in, his nonchalant look was obvious, and he walked with a careless and lazy manner.

"Young Marquis." Seeing this, the doorman immediately called out respectfully.

When they heard the sound, they turned their heads to look.

As if he had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw, Liao Wuchen hurriedly approached Yan Liuzhu and said, "Liuzhu, I am not the only man who lost his composure in the Li Palace today. The young marquis is also one of them. If you have any doubts in your heart, why don't we go ask him?"

After Yan Liuzhu was reminded of this, he immediately thought of his brother's abnormal behavior at the banquet. The anger and grievance in his heart subsided a little, and his expression also eased.

"Elder sister." Yan Changbai walked over with a casual step, greeted her weakly, and turned around to leave.

Upon seeing this, Yan Liuzhu took a quick step forward and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Yan Changbai frowned, his face full of impatience.

Yan Liuzhu knew that her younger brother had been spoiled since childhood. He was the apple of the family's eye and was spoiled beyond measure. He was always reckless and fearless. He never took any woman seriously. But today at the banquet, he behaved abnormally for that woman Qu Xinzhu. There must be something fishy going on.

Thinking of this, Yan Liuzhu was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly: "Second brother, are you familiar with the concubine of Prince Li?"

"Sister, why are you asking this?" Upon hearing this, Yan Changbai's face changed suddenly and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly pretended to be calm. However, the corner of his clothes that he unconsciously clenched still exposed his inner nervousness and anxiety.

Sure enough, there was something unusual.

Le Wuchen and Yan Liuzhu looked at each other as if they had telepathy, and both saw something strange in each other's eyes.

Yan Liuzhu frowned and pretended to be disgusted and said, "Humph, that Qu Xinzhu is obviously a fickle woman. She behaved like that at the banquet today. She dared to flirt with a bunch of men in public. She is so shameless. You should stay away from her and have less contact with her, so as not to ruin your reputation."

"Eldest sister!" Upon hearing this, Yan Changbai became furious, his face flushed red, his eyes bulged like bells, and he shouted, "What do you know! Zhu'er is a woman as noble as a fairy. Her beauty and her character, how can you short-sighted, ignorant people understand? I warn you, if I hear you say a bad word about Zhu'er again, I will never let you off easily!" He said this in a decisive tone, as if he was going to fight Yan Liuzhu to the death, completely disregarding the previous sisterly relationship.

When Yan Liuzhu heard his brother's merciless rebuke, he was so angry that he trembled all over and was extremely angry.

They had always had a good relationship since childhood, but now her brother was so bewitched by that woman Qu Xinzhu that he dared to contradict his elder sister in public.

It seems that what that person said was right.

Seeing that his beloved was angry, Liao Wuchen quickly spoke up and said, "Young Marquis, your elder sister is doing this for your own good. That Qu Xinzhu is indeed strange. You..."

"Weird?" Yan Changbai seemed to have just seen Wuchen. The corners of his mouth pulled out a trace of sarcasm, and he sneered: "Wuchen, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Just now at the banquet, your eyes were staring at Zhuer, I am afraid that your soul was hooked. We are the same, don't talk nonsense in front of my elder sister, and want my elder sister to stop me, so that there will be fewer rivals to please Zhuer. Your calculations are really sound."

"You... are talking nonsense!" Le Wuchen was so angry that his face turned red. He flicked his sleeves and walked away quickly without looking back, his figure full of resentment.

Yan Liuzhu was filled with anxiety and didn't care about Wuchen's departure at all. She just advised Yan Changbai with a worried look on her face: "Second brother, you have always been smart, why are you confused about this matter? There must be something strange about Qu Xinzhu, she is definitely not a good person. Listen to my advice, don't have anything to do with her in the future, otherwise you will definitely get into trouble."

Yan Changbai was very pleased to see that he had driven Wuchen away. He sneered at the woman beside him and said, "Sister, you should take care of your man first. Stop interfering in my business!"

After saying this, he left.

Yan Liuzhu's face suddenly darkened. She stood for a moment, then turned around and left the house.
