Xiao Yunxi looked down at the man not far away and frowned.

Why does this person look so familiar?

She asked calmly, "Who are you?"

Lu Jingting was stunned, his heart ached violently, and he couldn't stop crying any more, "I...I am..."

Xia He curled her lips in disdain. This heartbroken look was really disgusting. "He is Lu Jingting from the Zhennan Palace, your abandoned husband."

This time it was Xiao Yunxi's turn to be stunned. She glanced up and down and found that the man with untidy beard, protruding belly and smell of alcohol was Lu Jingting!

In his previous life, the man was in his forties and still looked handsome and upright. How come he looked like this after just one year apart in this life?

Hearing the words "abandoned husband" and seeing the shock and strangeness in Xiao Yunxi's eyes, Lu Jingting felt so ashamed.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, staring straight at the face that had appeared in his dreams countless times.

For more than a year, he didn't know how he survived. Apart from the fat carp in Feiyu Pavilion, there was nothing left by Xiao Yunxi in the Zhennan Palace.

Lu Jingting stayed in Feiyu Pavilion all day long and hardly went out. He either drank and cried while holding a fat carp, or fell asleep while hugging Xiao Yunxi's portrait and confessed to her in his dreams.

Now that the person he had been thinking about and waiting for for so long was standing in front of him, he was a little afraid to speak.

He choked up, "Yunxi, I...I miss you so much."

Xia He slapped him and said, "Who is this pervert? How dare you address the princess by her name!"

Lu Jingting widened his eyes and covered his face. It hurt!

I burst into tears of joy instantly, "That's great, it really hurts, not a dream!"

He rushed forward, wanting to hold Xiao Yunxi in his arms, "Yunxi, Yunxi!"

Xiao Yunxi looked at him coldly without moving.

Xia He kicked again, this time with all her strength, and kicked Lu Jingting several meters away.

Lu Jingting felt as if his internal organs were ruptured and he gasped in pain.

"Yun Xi, I was wrong. Can you please come back?"

"I really know I was wrong. I was a bastard. I failed you. I favored my concubine over my wife. I failed to protect our Zhan Er. I...I was wrong about everything."

"But I will change in the future. I will hold you in my hands and love and protect you. Let's have another child and call him Zhan'er, okay?"

"I will drive Lin Wan'er and her son out of the house and tell them to never appear in front of you again, okay?"

"Grandfather is now bedridden, and grandmother is paralyzed. They miss you as much as I do. They will definitely love you very much in the future. Everyone in the Zhennan Palace will listen to you."

"Yun Xi, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Lu Jingting cried until he was hoarse, and Xiao Yunxi felt uncomfortable in her stomach.

Xia He was also stunned. How could this man behave so affectionately? He cried even more sadly than the actors on the stage just now, as if the princess would be guilty of a heinous crime and heartless if she didn't forgive him.

She couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily, "Shut up! You can't offend our princess!"

Lu Jingting didn't listen to what Xia He said at all. In his eyes there was only Xiao Yunxi, and he could only see Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi felt her hands were itchy, so she touched her waist and then she remembered that she had left the whip at home.

She looked at Lu Jingting with disgust, "Throw him out, it's disgusting to look at him!"

Lu Jingting was stunned. How could Yun Xi be so ruthless?

Wouldn't she forgive him?

He already knew he was wrong. He only made Lin Wan'er his concubine and never touched her again. Why didn't Yun Xi forgive him?

"Yes, princess."

princess?

Isn't she a princess?

Lu Jingting looked at Xiao Yunxi carefully and asked tremblingly, "Why does Xia He call you Princess?"

Chun Xiao jumped out from the side and said coldly: "Your Majesty has granted me the marriage. The princess married Prince Dingyuan several months ago and is now the Princess of Dingyuan!"

"Princess Dingyuan? Princess Dingyuan? You married Mo Ruochen, Prince Dingyuan?!"

Lu Jingting stared at Xiao Yunxi in a daze, his mind going blank.

Old Zhennan had long claimed to be ill in bed and had not attended court for a long, long time. Lu Jingting had no official position or title, so he was not qualified to attend court at all.

In addition, the Zhennan Palace had a very bad reputation in Beijing, and no one came to visit.

So Lu Jingting had no idea that Xiao Yunxi had already married Dingyuan King Mo Ruochen.

He had always imagined that one day Xiao Yunxi would forgive her...

He stood up suddenly and pointed at Xiao Yunxi angrily, "How could you marry someone else!"

Xia He couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him three times.

The pain calmed Lu Jingting down, and contrary to his usual behavior, he stopped yelling.

Seeing that Xiao Yunxi had not returned for a long time, Xie Yu came out to look for her and took a breath in the yard.

Seeing a man harassing Xiao Yunxi, he immediately walked quickly to Xiao Yunxi's side and protected her, "Yunxi, who is this man?"

"Shameless scoundrel."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yu immediately whipped out a whip, "Why waste your time talking to him? Anyone who dares to offend Princess Dingyuan must be whipped to death!"

As he said this, he rushed forward waving the whip.

At first, Lu Jingting did not fight back, and Xie Yu beat him quite comfortably, but after a few hits, Lu Jingting reacted and Xie Yu began to have difficulty.

Xiao Yunxi would give Xie Yu some advice from time to time, and would also pick up a stone and throw it at Lu Jingting's arms and legs. He could no longer exert any strength and could only passively take the beating.

The servant who followed him was so scared that his legs went weak and he wet his pants. He couldn't stand up at all. He could only grit his teeth and crawl back. When he met the servants in the mansion, he begged them to go find Madam Wen and the county lady quickly.

Although Lu Jingting was once a general, he had been idle for more than a year. Coupled with Xiao Yunxi's secret attack, he was soon beaten to the ground by Xie Yu and could not move.

Xie Yu was so tired that he threw the whip to the maid beside him and said, "I am so tired. My aunt never said that whipping someone is so tiring."

Xiao Yunxi chuckled, "Then practice for two more hours every day. I heard that women in the desert are very sturdy. If Fifth Cousin doesn't have a good physique, she may not be able to control them!"

Xie Yu rolled her eyes. She now practices for three hours a day, plus two hours more. Does she still need to eat and sleep?

Upon hearing the news, Madam Wen rushed over, her hair bun even tilted to one side, "Princess, are you okay?"

Xiao Yunxi's face was cold, "It's nothing, I just met a pervert in the inner courtyard of your house, and was beaten half to death by my fifth cousin."

Madam Wen panted heavily, and it took her a long time to recover. "Lecher? Who?"

The housekeeper at the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's Lu Jingting, the third master of the Zhennan Palace, the son-in-law of the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an!"

Old Madam Wen was stunned. How did this person get into the inner courtyard?

Are all the servants dead?

No, how can this person be qualified to attend the banquet?
