CHAPTER 533 2 : ALREADY IN A MARRIAGE ALLIANCE (1/2)

Wu Ling nodded before then asking, “Do we need to send guards to keep an eye on the posthouse?”

“No need; I don’t have to waste that many resources on Du Rin.”

Seeing Pei Qianhao answer him in such a calm manner, Wu Ling knew that he already had a plan in mind. Wu Ling thus bowed to acknowledge the order and proceeded to place more guards in the Prince Hao Residence.

Pei Qianhao then boarded a horse carriage and headed for the army barracks.

Meanwhile, Su Xi-er had entered the side yard to find Xie Liuli standing behind her older brother, who was currently sitting in his wheelchair.

Xie Liuli greeted Su Xi-er as she walked over. “You’re here, Princess Consort.”

“What happened? Wasn’t everything okay last night?” Su Xi-er’s eyes turned to Xie Yun as she spoke.

“Su Xi-er, get the imperial physician to come over and help Zhen Yu abort the child.” Xie Yun’s expression was rather placid.

Xie Liuli stared at him. “Elder Brother, Zhen Yu is pregnant with your child. The baby is the Xie Family’s flesh and blood too. How can we abort the baby like that?”

“I’m not going to force Zhen Yu if she doesn’t want the baby. If anything, the magistrate should have me in jail for now for what I’ve done to her.”

Noticing Xie Yun’s calm visage, she spoke. “I had initially hoped to avoid becoming involved with your matter, but I’m sure that you’ve heard about Du Rin’s arrival. You should understand what she’s planning to do, and I don’t wish for Zhen Yu to be caught in the crossfire.”

Xie Yun’s grip on the wheelchair turned his knuckles white as he heard Du Rin being mentioned. “I’ll take care of her.”

Xie Liuli did not understand their conversation at all. “Elder Brother, Du Rin is the Western Region’s Imperial Princess; what happened between the two of you? How could you two-time? Don’t you know you’re letting Zhen Yu down like that?”
