Chapter 129: True and False

True and False

Yin Fenglian's face still bore a smile. But at this moment, as soon as his words fell, Nie Jinxuan was momentarily stunned, then slightly furrowed her brows.

The appointment at Zuixiashanzhuang?!

What is that?

Nie Jinxuan was utterly puzzled, then glanced doubtfully at Yin Fenglian, and then turned her head to look at Yin Fengzhan.

"What appointment?"

"Nothing!"

Without a thought, he answered Nie Jinxuan, and while speaking, Yin Fengzhan kept his gaze fixed on Yin Fenglian before him. Upon hearing this, before Nie Jinxuan could speak, Prince Qin Yin Fenglian cut in.

"Hehe~. Fourth Prince, saying that is not right, is it? Could it be that the Fourth Prince wants to turn his face and renege on the debt?!"

Yin Fenglian's words carried deep meaning; as soon as he spoke, he glanced sideways at Nie Jinxuan, then continued.

"Moreover, this matter also concerns the Fourth Prince's consort; Fourth Prince, saying that is not right, is it……"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Interrupting Yin Fenglian's words, Yin Fengzhan's face was frosty at this moment. As soon as he spoke, the vast front hall fell instantly silent.

Yin Fenglian also fell silent, and the surroundings sank into an eerie quiet. At this moment, seeing Yin Fengzhan's suddenly grim expression, Nie Jinxuan's heart leapt with alarm, and she immediately rose and walked over.

"If you have something to say, say it nicely—why scare people like that?"

Nie Jinxuan said this to Yin Fengzhan; as soon as she finished, she stepped forward, but before she could say anything else, she heard Yin Fengzhan suddenly speak in a low voice.

"None of your business—go back to your room!"

"You……"

Yin Fengzhan once again resumed his earlier icy demeanor. Seeing this, the originally doubtful Nie Jinxuan felt anger flare up in her chest. However, with Prince Qin Yin Fengzhan present, she didn't want to say anything that would embarrass him, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and then pressed her lips together, saying.

"Prince Qin said it concerns me, and I'm right here—why can't I listen in?!"

"If you don't want to listen, fine!"

"But I want to listen!"

"Not allowed!"

"You……"

Even someone with the best temper would be driven mad by Yin Fengzhan. At this moment, as Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan were about to argue, Yin Fenglian beside them suddenly let out a light laugh.

"Hehe……"

Yin Fenglian's laugh was gentle. Yet this laugh instantly made the increasingly tense Yin Fengzhan and Nie Jinxuan almost simultaneously startle, and then all that could be heard was Yin Fenglian saying.

"Fourth Prince, why go to such lengths? Actually, though it's called an agreement, in the end it's merely a trivial matter……"

Saying this, Yin Fenglian turned his head to look at Nie Jinxuan.

"Actually, Fourth Prince's consort, you may not know: earlier, when I and the Fourth Prince were sparring and drinking at Zuixiashanzhuang, we had made a prior agreement…… namely, if I won the match, I would have the Fourth Prince promise me three requests—that is, no matter when or where, once I speak, the Fourth Prince must comply. And if I lost……"

"Hehe…… then, when I have need, the Fourth Prince's consort must come out to help! After all, the Fourth Prince's consort also knows that I am now practically a jianghu person, and there are all kinds of strange things in the jianghu. And once the Fourth Prince's consort helps, then at that time all sorts of demons and monsters will surely appear…… hehe~, Fourth Prince, I haven't gotten this agreement wrong, have I~!"

……

Yin Fenglian kept chuckling lightly, but upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was instantly dazed! She then briefly recalled it in her mind, and immediately the memory came back.

No wonder, back then during the sparring and drinking, I felt they had talked for a long time in the open space, but I didn't know what they were saying—turns out this is what was going on!

But if that's the case, I recall that back then he actively admitted defeat himself! Could it be……

At that moment, Nie Jinxuan felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart, and she involuntarily pressed her lips…… At the same time, hearing Yin Fenglian's words, Yin Fengzhan had a brief moment of startlement, then his eyes flashed, and he stared straight at Yin Fenglian before him, pressing his lips without speaking.

For a moment, the front hall fell silent again. But not long after, Nie Jinxuan suddenly came to her senses and instantly widened her eyes at Yin Fenglian.

"Eh, that's not right, Prince Qin—why is it that when you and the prince spar, whether you win or lose, you always benefit?! This is hardly fair!"

"Exactly, in any bet there are pros and cons, but why does Yin Fenglian always take all the benefits regardless of win or lose?!"

Nie Jinxuan is no fool, so after a brief moment of stunned silence, she immediately pressed for an answer. But upon hearing this, Yin Fenglian simply spread his hands without any pressure.

"There's nothing to be done—could the Fourth Prince's consort have forgotten?! Because I know the Fourth Prince's secret~! So naturally I have privileges~!"

"You……"

For the first time, Nie Jinxuan instinctively felt that the man named Yin Fenglian before her deserved a beating—and a severe one at that! Because Nie Jinxuan despises those who wield leverage to threaten others! And he had committed this once before, and now he's doing it again……

Thus, in the blink of an eye, Nie Jinxuan finally flared up!

After glaring fiercely at Yin Fenglian before her, she then loudly commanded.

"Gu Hong, beat this scoundrel out for me! From now on, he is not allowed to set even a single foot inside Chen Wangfu!"

Nie Jinxuan's anger had serious consequences. So, as soon as her words left her mouth, not long after, the old steward Gu Hong actually led a squad of guards rushing in. Seeing that things were going badly, Yin Fenglian didn't dare to say more and simply fled in a hurry!

Yin Fenglian finally left, and Chen Wangfu finally regained its tranquility. After dinner, Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan returned together to their room.

But upon returning to the room, Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan started arguing again, and the cause was——who should take a bath in the room!

After all, this room may be the newlywed chamber of Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan, but Yin Fengzhan had never set foot in it before. Thus, since her transmigration, Nie Jinxuan had always occupied it alone. However, the situation later changed, and with Yin Fengzhan's subsequent foot injury, he clung to the room and refused to leave.

This back-and-forth led to the current situation. The previous two days, because Nie Jinxuan returned late from her outing, their bathing times were staggered. But today, when they both returned to the room at the same time, they collided!

At this moment, seeing the man sitting beside her, leisurely sipping tea with no intention of leaving, Nie Jinxuan felt her liver fire surge, she pinched her waist, and directly said.

"Yin Fengzhan, can't you be a bit more decisive and just get out!"

"On what basis!"

"Because I want to bathe now!"

"I, the Prince, also want to bathe!"

"But this is my room!"

"It's also mine!"

Using the simplest words, Yin Fengzhan didn't even lift his head, directly blocking Nie Jinxuan completely. And speaking of this, Yin Fengzhan paused slightly, then added a sentence.

"Not just this room—the entire Wangfu belongs to me!"

Yin Fengzhan angers people without even drafting; upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan instantly rolled her eyes in anger.

"You... you... Yin Fengzhan, can't you stop being so shameless?! Earlier it was you who didn't come in!"

"Now this prince wants to come in!"

"You..."

It's hopeless, Nie Jinxuan is truly speechless! She can't really step forward and pull away the Yin Fengzhan in front of her, because she knows she can't drag him either! So, after being angered to the point of impossibility, Nie Jinxuan simply stared at him for a good while, then took her clothes and walked out.

The bathing war ended with Yin Fengzhan's overwhelming victory. Although Nie Jinxuan was furious, she wasn't that childish; after running to Xiao Xiu's side to finish bathing, she came back.

But as soon as Nie Jinxuan pushed the door and entered, she instantly froze, then her eyes widened in an instant.

"Wait! Yin Fengzhan, stand still!"

……

As it turned out, while Nie Jinxuan finished bathing, Yin Fengzhan also finished bathing on his own; and just as Nie Jinxuan pushed the door and entered, Yin Fengzhan was walking toward the bed, making a motion to get on it…… but he hadn't even wiped his hair!

So, seeing this, Nie Jinxuan's already calmed mood flared up instantly; she quickly stepped forward and grabbed him to the side.

"Yin Fengzhan, why do you never learn?! Didn't I just tell you yesterday?! You... you..."

Nie Jinxuan was speechless! She didn't even have the energy to scold; so after taking several deep breaths and then slightly closing her eyes, she simply turned, walked to the screen, grabbed a clean towel, shoved him onto the bed, and began wiping his hair.

"Good grief, don't you see how old you are? You never use your brain! I really wonder what you've grown up eating……"

Nie Jinxuan's actions weren't gentle, and while wiping she couldn't help chattering; but at that moment, hearing her chatter, Yin Fengzhan merely glanced at her with a raised brow, yet never retorted a word.

……

Time passed, and Nie Jinxuan gradually stopped chattering; the room regained its calm. But then, in that silence, Nie Jinxuan, who had been keeping her head down silently while wiping Yin Fengzhan's hair, suddenly said something.

"Yin Fengzhan, are you stupid?"

Nie Jinxuan said softly; after her words fell, without waiting for Yin Fengzhan to speak, she continued.

"That Prince Qin is just a rascal, and you actually made a bet with him?! Besides, even if it's a bet, why would you willingly admit defeat? Even if you had a leg injury back then, could you really not be his match?! And speaking of those three requests…… who knows what that rascal would demand?! You should have just said it back then and let me help him!"

Nie Jinxuan had some complaints, but a feeling she couldn't express welled up in her heart; afterwards the room fell into silence…… and after an unknown amount of time, Yin Fengzhan, who had been leaning against the side, suddenly asked in a low voice.

"The three-day appointment tomorrow…… have you decided?"
