First Volume_Chapter 581 My Woman Cannot Be Provoked

Xie Yun'er felt a suffocating pressure in her chest, her anger flaring up, causing her to stagger backward two steps.

Xie Yun'er never dreamed that those former uncles and aunts would join forces to smear her.

What damn sentiment, in the face of authority, was worth nothing at all!

Li Qian, who had been watching coldly, let out a light chuckle as he saw Xie Yun'er swaying on the verge of collapse.

Xie Yun'er had nothing to do with this conflict of interests.

Blame her only for marrying Qin Feng!

As the saying goes: men fear joining the wrong trade, women fear marrying the wrong husband.

Marrying Qin Feng, she deserved to spend the rest of her life in shame and humiliation!

The Princess of Qiyang frowned tightly, her eyes flashing with fury, several times readying to rise and speak up for Xie Yun'er.

Each time, Li Yong pulled her back at the last moment.

The Princess of Qiyang was frantic: "Brother, why are you stopping me?"

"These bastards are going too far!"

"They've teamed up to bully Yun'er alone—how disgraceful!"

"For them to call themselves National Pillars, with officials like these, Liang's future is bleak."

Seeing the Princess of Qiyang still seething, Li Yong sighed deeply and spoke with solemn gravity.

"I know your bond with Xie Yun'er; your anger on her behalf is entirely understandable."

"But tonight, this is my brother's feud with Qin Feng—it has nothing to do with us. Do not involve yourselves; simply watch quietly."

"If you truly cannot bear it, think of your mother."

At these words, the Princess of Qiyang's heart sank, and she sat back down in silence.

Her mother's standoff with the Imperial Consort in the Hou Gong was already excruciating; one misstep could mean total defeat.

And she herself had always represented her mother's stance.

If she now meddled in Li Qian's conflict with Qin Feng, she would surely invite Li Qian's suspicion.

Those who don't know might think her mother also supports Qin Feng and stands against Li Qian.

For the Chang Princess to oppose the most powerful Prince of the court would have unthinkable consequences.

"Yun'er, I'm sorry… I can't help you."

The Princess of Qiyang lowered her head, her eyes filled with gloom.

As a Princess, she too had many things beyond her control.

At that moment, a laugh rang out.

The Princess of Qiyang, who had just been slumped in despair, snapped her head up, her eyes reigniting with hope.

"Qin Feng?!"

"That's right! Yun'er isn't alone—she has Qin Feng!"

"With Qin Feng here, everything will be fine."

"That guy may be a rogue, but he never allows anyone to harm those close to him—especially not his future wife?!"

That loud laugh drew not only the Princess of Qiyang's attention, but every single pair of eyes in the hall fixed on Qin Feng.

Naturally, including Li Qian and Li Yong.

Qin Feng ignored the suspicious glares from all sides, raised his hand, and gently pressed it onto Xie Yun'er's shoulder to soothe her.

"I'm here. Don't worry."

Xie Yun'er's trembling body, shaken by rage, slowly calmed.

Merely feeling the warmth from Qin Feng's palm made her heart feel more grounded than ever before.

Xie Yun'er slowly turned her head toward Qin Feng; her reddened, furious face was gradually calming.

Just as Xie Yun'er was about to speak, Qin Feng's index finger pressed gently against her lips.

This tiny gesture made Xie Yun'er's body shiver, as if her entire being were burning.

Though she had been in public before, those had been strangers.

But this time—it was before court officials, or rather, enemies!

Surrounded by so many hostile, watching eyes, Xie Yun'er felt no fear—instead, her heart was filled with profound warmth.

In that moment, Xie Yun'er felt her heart leap.

At that instant, Qin Feng's voice spoke again, calm yet utterly unquestionable.

"No one can harm the one I love."

"Not before, not now, and never in the future!"

The one I love…

Love…

For some reason, this light, fleeting word struck straight into the most vulnerable part of Xie Yun'er's heart.

In an instant, her eyes grew damp.

Xie Yun'er herself never imagined that this man, always so carefree and lazy,

when someone close to him was hurt, could become so fiercely dominant.

Not just lovers, but family and friends too.

Qin Feng protected every single person around him without reservation!

Xie Yun'er finally understood why so many were willing to give their lives for Qin Feng.

Xie Yun'er truly, deeply felt Qin Feng's love—subtle yet immeasurably profound.

To marry him, I have no regrets in this life!

Qin Feng raised his hand and stroked Xie Yun'er's head, smiling gently, utterly tender.

"Alright, leave the rest to me."

Xie Yun'er, who had always been strong-willed since childhood, had not the slightest thought of standing on her own; she only wanted to entrust everything to him.

She nodded like a chick pecking rice, emitting a sound no louder than a mosquito's hum: "Mm."

After calming Xie Yun'er, Qin Feng crossed his arms, raised them above his head, and stretched vigorously, loosening his muscles.

Then his gaze slowly swept over everyone present.

Anyone who had smeared or insulted Xie Yun'er would not be spared.

Feeling Qin Feng's seemingly harmless gaze, the Assistant Minister of Justice suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

Li Qian could not help but frown slightly.

Li Qian knew Qin Feng's ways all too well; the moment he declared war on Qin Feng, he had already prepared himself for Qin Feng's fierce counterattack.

This moment had finally arrived!

The entire banquet hall was utterly silent, but everyone knew this was the calm before the storm.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Feng picked up the Wine Pot, left the drinking table, and walked to the center of the hall.

He lifted the Wine Pot and drank deeply several times.

Qin Feng rarely drank alcohol, but now, as the Alcohol burned down his throat, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Clack…

Qin Feng casually tossed the Wine Pot to the ground; its sharp crack struck the hearts of everyone present.

Just as everyone's hearts were clenched in their throats, a strange scene unfolded.

Qin Feng paid no attention to the Officials, nor did he even look at the Assistant Minister of Justice, who had shouted the loudest.

Instead, he slowly turned, his gaze sharpening further, locking directly onto Li Qian.

Qin Feng had no interest in wasting time on these minor lackeys.

Capture the leader first, strike straight at the heart of the enemy!

"Your Highness, I waited an entire day for this scene—and this is all it is?"

"A pack of corrupt officials and treacherous ministers, ganging up on a young girl about to marry?"

"Hahahaha, your methods, Li Qian…"

Qin Feng's tone shifted; his laughter cut off abruptly, turning razor-sharp: "I am utterly disappointed!"

The entire hall fell into deathly silence.

Li Qian's face turned grim; he clenched his fists, staring fixedly at Qin Feng, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

The atmosphere of tension in the hall had never been so intense.

At that moment, the Assistant Minister of Justice roared angrily: "Qin Feng, how dare you show disrespect to His Highness!"

"Shut up!" Qin Feng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. "Who the hell are you? Do you even have the right to shout here?!"
