Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 399: Thousands of Birds Fly Away vs. The Inhumanity (1)

Feng Xuxu had no time to ask the butler what was going on and dashed out, only to see no one in the courtyard. She turned to the butler who had followed her: "Where are they?"

"In, in the back courtyard’s, guest room." The butler, gasping for breath, spoke haltingly. As Feng Xuxu hurried to the back courtyard, the butler felt as though a row of crows was flying across his forehead. What on earth was happening? He sighed, resigned to his fate, and followed the princess’s swift footsteps.

As soon as she reached the courtyard, she saw several people desperately holding back Beitang Xuan, while Jueqing, with disheveled clothes, sat on the ground with a vacant look in his eyes, and from inside the room, intermittent sobs could be heard.

Even the naive Feng Xuxu could guess what had happened, while Dugu Chen following behind raised an eyebrow, sending a profound glance at the person on the ground.

"Stop, what happened?" Feng Xuxu stood aside, her authoritative gaze sweeping over them, finally resting on Jueqing.

Di An stepped forward to help the person sitting on the ground and slightly tidied up his appearance.

Seeing the Prince and the princess arrive, Zongzheng Zehang and Xiu Bingxi let go of Beitang Xuan and moved aside, standing quietly there, making themselves invisible. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Well, isn’t anyone going to speak?" She glanced at them, and seeing nobody spoke up, she entered the guest room.

Upon entering, Feng Xuxu saw the bed was in complete disarray, with a pool of blood on it. Qinmeng was curled up on the bed, crying softly. Feng Xuxu slightly frowned: "Put on your clothes and come out."

In the grand hall, with the lights brightly lit, Dugu Chen and Feng Xuxu sat in the main seats, while Zongzheng Zehang and Xiu Bingxi sat to the right at the lower seats. Jueqing, expressionless, stood in the grand hall, his head down, silent and somber, and Beitang Xuan stood too, his eyes angrily glaring at Jueqing. At this moment, the grand hall was eerily quiet, everyone waiting in silence for Qinmeng.

Qinmeng, having tidied herself up, had slightly swollen eyes, and her thighs trembled as she walked. If Baihe hadn’t been supporting her, she probably would have already collapsed to the floor.

"Princess..." Qinmeng knelt on the ground, and before she could say more, she was already crying uncontrollably. Jueqing, who had been expressionless, turned his head at the sound of her voice, his fingers unconsciously tightening.

"Jueqing, you tell us what happened," Feng Xuxu said, glancing at Qinmeng before turning to her cousin Jueqing.

Jueqing closed his eyes tightly, furrowing his brows. After a moment, he opened his eyes and reached out to help the woman on the floor to her feet. Turning to Feng Xuxu, he said, "I have wronged Qinmeng. I will marry her."

Qinmeng shook her head through her tears: "I won’t marry."

"Your honor has already been compromised by him; if you won’t marry, do you want to become a nun?" Beitang Xuan angrily stepped forward, grabbed his sister, and scolded her harshly.

"Big brother, I don’t...," she protested.

"Be quiet. In matters of parental authority and the matchmaker’s words, since father and mother aren’t here, as your elder brother, I will make the decision."

"Beitang, I will take responsibility for your sister. Once I return, I will personally visit to seek forgiveness from your parents," Jueqing said, stepping aside and bowing to Beitang Xuan.

Beitang Xuan watched Jueqing in silence for a while before coldly saying, "Good, then I’ll await your arrival at home."

"Big brother, I said I won’t marry," Qinmeng shouted at her brother, her eyes filled with grievance as she glanced at Jueqing before turning to run out.

Feng Xuxu glanced sidelong, and Baihe immediately turned and followed Qinmeng out.

Beitang Xuan, concerned for his sister, felt slightly relieved when he saw Baihe chase after her.

"Young Master Beitang, Qinmeng will stay at the Prince Residence tonight. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have someone send her back safely," Feng Xuxu said with a stern look, glaring at Jueqing before turning to Beitang Xuan.
