Chapter 218 Complaint

Yongxian got up, walked behind Xiao Chengyan, and hugged him. Her heart was overflowing with sweetness. This handsome and talented young man would be her husband in the future. Just thinking about it made her feel incredibly happy.

As she spoke, she reached into Xiao Chengyan's clothes and caressed him affectionately. To Princess Yongxian, this gesture was incredibly sweet.

But a strong feeling of nausea welled up in Xiao Chengyan's heart. He even felt like vomiting and reached out to shake off Princess Yongxian's hand.

This action startled the princess, and Xiao Chengyan also felt a little regretful, quickly trying to make amends.

"Princess, please rest for a while. I drank too much today and feel nauseous and uncomfortable. I would like to sit for a while longer."

Seeing that Xiao Chengyan's complexion was indeed not good, she figured it was because he had worked too hard today and drunk so much wine. Yongxian also wanted to be known as a considerate and gentle person, so she naturally nodded in agreement.

After giving a few words of concern, she turned to go back to the bedside to rest, but accidentally knocked over a few books from the corner of the table as she turned.

She smiled and squatted down to pick up the books, and saw two or three letters scattered out of them.

Seeing that the envelope was unsigned and only contained a drawing of a peach blossom, she found it novel and interesting, so she casually opened it to take a look.

This was shocking; it turned out to be a love letter, filled with bold and explicit words, even describing in detail the scene of the two making love.

In the letter, the woman wrote about how much she missed that night and how she longed to be with him again...

The other letter was Xiao Chengyan's reply, which was equally explicit and straightforward. The bold words were written nakedly on the white paper, making Yongxian's face turn as red as a shrimp.

Xiao Chengyan sat upright and saw that Yongxian had been picking up books for a long time without getting up, so he got up to see what was going on.

Yongxian held the love letter he had written to the prostitute, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Yongxian looked up at that moment, her scarlet eyes like those of a tiger ready to devour someone, which made Xiao Chengyan tremble and take two steps back.

His mind went blank, and he panicked, trying to figure out what to say without upsetting the princess.

He hesitated for a long time before finally stammering out,

"This...this happened a long time ago...back when we weren't engaged..."

Yongxian stood up, clutching the letter tightly in her hand, and approached Xiao Chengyan step by step, her tone sinister and ghostly.

"You forgot you signed it? The letter was dated last night..."

As Xiao Chengyan stared at that ugly and sinister face, his back went numb and he broke out in a cold sweat.

After learning of his wedding date with Yongxian, he felt a sense of indulgence. He felt it would be a waste if he didn't enjoy some good food before the wedding. So he frequented brothels and returned home almost every morning. During this time, his parents were busy with his wedding preparations, so no one came to check on him.

Therefore, Xiao Chengyan had been living a particularly decadent life recently. He was particularly fond of a courtesan named Peach Blossom. The courtesan was knowledgeable in calligraphy and painting and was very charming. The two of them exchanged explicit love letters as a form of pleasure in their bedroom. On the eve of his wedding yesterday, Xiao Chengyan was in a very depressed mood, so he took out the love letters and read them several times to relieve his own stress.

He was in high spirits again, so he picked up his pen and wrote a reply, which he tucked into his book, thinking that he would find a servant to deliver it to him sometime later. He had arranged to meet Peach Blossom again in a while.

After writing the letter, Xiao Chengyan casually stuffed it into a book on his desk. The next day, he woke up to his wedding, and naturally, he was so busy that he couldn't spare a moment to think about anything else. He completely forgot about the matter.

Who would have thought that such bad luck would happen to her on her wedding night?

Yongxian's face was contorted, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked truly ferocious as she demanded an explanation from Xiao Chengyan.

Xiao Chengyan desperately wanted to fabricate a lie to cover it up, but the letter was irrefutable evidence, and it was signed with his name, so it seemed impossible to deny it no matter what.

Seeing Yongxian's aggressive attitude, Xiao Chengyan was also angry. He felt that his willingness to marry her was already a great favor to her, and now this princess was using her power to coerce him. Naturally, Xiao Chengyan was not happy.

He just kept a cold face, not wanting to coax her, with a "what's the use" attitude.

"You've seen it all, what are you still asking!"

This is tantamount to an admission; even a few words of sophistry would have been better.

Princess Yongxian immediately exploded, lunging at Xiao Chengyan and scratching and clawing at him, behaving like a shrew.

If it were an ordinary woman, given Xiao Chengyan's previous temper, he would have knocked her over with a single slap. But he couldn't hit the woman in front of him. He knew clearly that he absolutely could not fight back, and just stood there dumbfounded, letting Yongxian hit him.

Yongxian married into the Xiao family with great enthusiasm and hope, but her dream was shattered on her very first night as a bride.

How could she not go crazy? This man shattered her expectations and fantasies on the very first night.

Naturally, he became hysterical, hitting, biting, and cursing, so angry that he wished he could burn the entire Xiao family down to the ground to vent his anger.

After listening to this whole story, Old Madam Xiao was so shaken that she could barely stand. After reading the lewd love letter, she almost didn't hesitate to slap Xiao Chengyan across the face.

"You good-for-nothing! The Xiao family will be ruined by your own hands sooner or later!"

Xiao Chengyan was also momentarily stunned. He had done many absurd things since he was a child, but Old Madam Xiao had never hit him.

This was the first time Xiao Chengyan had been hit by his grandmother, and he stood there stunned.

At this moment, Madam Xing rushed forward, crying, and hugged Xiao Chengyan, saying...

"Madam, what good will it do to beat Yan-ge'er now? We should think about how to appease the princess!"

She shielded Xiao Chengyan behind her, deeply protective of her son, and her hatred for Old Madam Xiao deepened.

Madam Xiao also had a terrible headache. How could she possibly appease Princess Yongxian's temper? She was feeling anxious and uncertain.

In the third courtyard, Madam Gu Rong coaxed Yongxian to wash her face. Although Yongxian cooperated in washing her face, her expression remained as stubborn and angry as before, showing no sign of calming down.

Madam Gu carefully wiped her face and then winked at Madam Yan of the Fourth Branch. Madam Yan told two jokes, but Yongxian's expression did not soften at all.

This left both ladies in a state of panic, their hearts pounding in their chests.

After washing her face and changing her clothes, Yongxian jumped up and headed out.

"Get back to the palace now! I need to see my mother immediately!"

The third and fourth wives were so frightened that they stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Yongxian strode out, but unexpectedly someone appeared and blocked her way.

Qiao Qingshu said with a warm smile,

"Princess, why are you in such a hurry? I have something to tell you."
