Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 591 - A bad feeling

591 A bad feeling

“He is not the Jianjun we used to know. I love you,” Xu Zifan said.

Jingfei crossed her arms and looked out of the window. “I will throw you out of the house if you speak to Li Jianjun after today,” Jingfei threatened him.

Lin Jie suppressed her smile upon hearing their confrontation and kept her head down.

“He wants to apologize to you in the evening,” Xu Zifan stated. Jingfei turned her head to look at him. “I asked him to come in the evening,” he added.

Jingfei’s anger reached the seventh sky. Xu Zifan was well aware of the fact that she could not forgive him. Li Jianjun lied to her and tried to ruin her life. He humiliated Xu Zifan, whom she chose as her husband, many times. For a second, she would forget what he did to her, but she would never forget how Jianjun threatened and tried to harm Xu Zifan.

She averted her gaze from Xu Zifan because Lin Jie was also inside the carriage. Jingfei didn’t want to fight with Xu Zifan in front of her. She decided to stay quiet to keep herself calm. Xu Zifan also got quiet and decided to talk to her upon reaching home.

When they reached the residence, Lin Jie was the first one to step out. Xu Zifan stepped out after her and gave his hand to Jingfei. She ignored it and jumped out of the carriage on her own.

Xu Zifan lowered his hand when Lin Jie told him how bad Jingfei’s anger was. “My Lord shall not speak anything when she will be speaking, else she gets madder,” Lin Jie advised Xu Zifan.

“If I do not speak with her, then how will I nullify her anger?” Xu Zifan said and smiled. He walked in while Lin Jie wondered how he would handle angry Jingfei.

Xu Zifan pushed open the door room and walked in. He closed it before stepping ahead. Turning his left, he saw Jingfei on the dressing table, removing her earrings.

Xu Zifan walked up to her, who saw his reflection in the mirror.

“I told the servant to bring meals for us,” Xu Zifan asserted.

“Eat with Jianjun,” Jingfei said and rose to her feet. “I am not hungry anymore,” she stated and headed to the bed when Xu Zifan grabbed her arm.

“Forgive me,” Xu Zifan said. “Don’t be upset with me.”

Jingfei gently pushed him away. “You are like your sister. Kind and easily forgiving person. What if Li Jianjun is pretending to be nice? What if he harms you? He is jealous of the fact that I married you,” Jingfei said.

“He wants to sincerely apologize for his actions. It is better to forgive than keep the bitterness. However, the decision is on you. If you do not want to see him, I will inform him about it. But don’t be angry,” Xu Zifan said.

Jingfei contemplated for a brief moment before speaking, “I will go with your decision. If my husband thinks that Li Jianjun is on the right path, then I will forgive him. Let him come.”

“You do not need to agree with my decision,” Xu Zifan asserted. “I may not be a good judge of character,” he added.

“You are confusing me, Xu Zifan,” Jingfei pouted her lips and hit his chest playfully. “I am famished,” she stated.

Xu Zifan smiled to see her reaction and told her to take a seat around the floor table. The servant asked from outside if he could enter. Xu Zifan allowed him to do and the door opened. The floor table was set with lunch meals and the servant left. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

Xu Zifan sat in front of Jingfei, who handed him the chopstick. “Did you get any message from Brother Lóng Wei?” she asked.

“Not now. I will ask Huang Xi since the first message will reach the palace,” Xu Zifan said and ate the cooked rice.

“I heard from Lin Jie that my mother has turned insane after what happened to my father,” Jingfei said while chewing the food.

“Oh. Should we visit her?” Xu Zifan concernedly asked.

“I do not want to see her,” Jingfei said and moved the bowl of noodles toward her. She stirred the chopsticks in it and then picked up the ladle to drink its soup. She slurped the soup and put the ladle on the plate.

“Because she would only get angry. At this time, she does not like to see anyone. Also, Brother Xiaoming supported Lóng Wei, so that may be the reason behind her anger,” Jingfei stated and rolled the noodles around the chopsticks. She ate the noodles while Xu Zifan looked at her.

“Eat,” Jingfei said.

“You should visit your mother if you are missing her. Her situation must be troubling you,” Xu Zifan said.

Jingfei did not reply and continued to eat. Xu Zifan understood that she did not want to speak about it, so he did not bother her. However, he somewhere felt that she was hurt. After they finished their meals, Xu Zifan asked Jingfei if she considered Lóng Wei wrong.

“No. He was the victim,” Jingfei said. “I also did very wrong things with him. I used to think he is a mad kind of person, who has no respect for the people around him. I am happy that my elder brother supported him and took the right decision. But I do not know how will my brother make mother understand all this,” she muttered.

“Queen Dowager should understand what her husband did was more than a crime,” Xu Zifan stated.

“My mother hated Brother Lóng Wei’s mother. I heard my father had given some special privileges to her despite her being a concubine. Maybe that is the chief reason, she does not see my father’s actions as wrong. I am her daughter and I know her mind a bit,” Jingfei stated.

“I heard from Huang Xi that there is tension going on between your brother and mother,” Xu Zifan finally admitted. He did not want to tell Jingfei earlier thinking she would take the stress. But now, she had already found out so he did not hide this fact.

“I have a bad feeling, Xu Zifan,” Jingfei said.

“A bad feeling?” Xu Zifan arched his eyebrow.

“What if my mother did something she should not? She tried to kill the Queen as well and hid it for a long time. She might try to harm her again because, in her eyes, Brother Xiaoming’s wife was never supposed to be the Queen. Also, Brother Xiaoming stopped listening to my mother after he got married, so my mother might be upset for that reason. It is just my perception. I hope my mother does nothing wrong,” she asserted and picked up the glass of water to drink water.

“The palace never gets peaceful,” Xu Zifan remarked.

“You are right. Palace politics is something that destroys the royal family. I was also a part of it once. Everyone fights for power,” Jingfei asserted.

“But that fight for power does not exist among the princes anymore,” Xu Zifan affirmed.

“The nobility tries to manipulate the royalty. Consort Dowager Xiuying always wanted Brother Mu to be at a place higher than my brother. Maybe it will start soon. Brother Lóng Wei did good and left the palace for a while,” Jingfei praised Lóng Wei’s decision.
