The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 186 Settling scores with Ye Jiuchen

"Yes, Father, grab your weapons!" Lu Qingmo said, taking out his sword.

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly grabbed Lu Qingmo!

"Stop right there!" Lu Chengfeng shouted. "This matter hasn't been clarified yet, don't act rashly!"

Lu Qingmo stopped and turned to look at Lu Chengfeng, her eyes flashing with determination.

He said, "Brother, it's clear now. Ye Jiuchen is the one who bullied Wan Ning. I can't let him get away with it!"

After saying that, Lu Qingmo turned and left again, leaving Lu Chengfeng standing there anxiously.

"Chengfeng, don't try to persuade us anymore. This time, we must seek justice for Wan'er..."

Lu Yanchen said!

"Father, why are you so impulsive! And you even brought my second brother along!" Lu Chengfeng shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

He had originally wanted to persuade his father not to act impulsively, but now it seemed impossible to stop them.

He couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache; neither the old nor the young were giving him any peace of mind!

Lu Wanning looked determined. She was resolved that no matter what, she had to go and see for herself!

"Big brother, whether Third Brother misheard or it's true, I must go and see for myself this time!"

Lu Chengfeng looked at his younger siblings, feeling a sense of helplessness. He knew that this matter was beyond his control.

Since that's the case, we can only go with them to find out the truth.

Lu Chengfeng nodded in agreement.

So everyone rushed toward the house to the west, hoping to get an explanation.

Meanwhile, in the western mansion, Dongfang Wan'er remained in a daze. She lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her eyes tightly closed, as if trapped in an endless nightmare.

Ye Jiuchen sat quietly by the bed, his eyes filled with worry and concern.

Just then, the Lu family arrived in the western prefecture in a menacing manner...

"Father, Qingmo, you must not act rashly when you go in this time. You must follow my instructions, understand?"

Lu Chengfeng knew his father and younger brother's tempers well and was worried that they might do something rash out of anger.

Lu Wanning nodded in agreement.

"Mother, you must hold Father back. Sister-in-law, I'm entrusting my second brother to you..."

Ye Jingxia and Su Yazhen nodded at the same time. They knew their husbands' personalities and knew they needed to dissuade them when necessary.

Immediately afterwards, the Lu family members entered the house.

"Madam Lu, you've come looking for the Princess, haven't you?" The gatekeeper recognized Lu Wanning at a glance and hurriedly came forward to greet her.

"What princess are you looking for? Who is the princess? Stop talking nonsense here. Get Ye Jiuchen out here right now, or I'll break his legs!" Lu Yanchen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Yes, yes, I'll go report right away!"

The gatekeeper didn't dare to delay and quickly turned and left.

"Father, I know Wan'er's room, but you... sigh..."

Lu Wanning sighed helplessly as she looked at her father's anxious and flustered appearance.

She simply couldn't understand why her usually rational and calm father would act so impulsively.

Just then, a panicked voice rang out: "Commander An, Commander An, something terrible has happened! The Princess's mother has stormed in with a group of people, saying she wants to break the Prince's legs!"

The doorman rushed over nervously and told Dark Night the news.

Upon hearing this, An Ye frowned immediately.

He was secretly puzzled. His master shouldn't have done anything to anger the Lu family, so why would the Lu family want to break the prince's leg?

An Ye thought for a moment, then instructed the gatekeeper, "I understand. Have someone arrange for the family to stay in the living room. I'll go and report to the master!"

"Yes, Commander An!" The gatekeeper immediately nodded in agreement and turned to arrange the relevant matters.

After the gatekeeper left, An Ye stood there in contemplation for a moment, then walked towards Dongfang Wan'er's room.

As he reached the door, he raised his hand and gently knocked, calling softly, "Master."

"What's wrong?" Qiuqin asked when she saw that An Ye's expression was not good.

An Ye looked at her and said, "Qiu Qin, come in with me!" Then the two of them went into the room together.

An Ye told Ye Jiu Chen everything about the Lu family's arrival...

"Ah, have the master and the second young master gone mad?" Qiuqin asked incredulously, her eyes widening after hearing An Ye's words.

Ye Jiuchen frowned, but remembering that they were Wan'er's family after all, he tried his best to suppress his irritation.

He said to Qiuqin, "Qiuqin, take good care of your young lady." Then he turned to Anye and said, "Come with me to see her!"

Ye Jiuchen strode out of the room, leaving Qiuqin behind.

The servants came forward and warmly invited the Lu family to the living room for tea and snacks, and told them that the prince would be arriving soon.

Just as Lu Qingmo was about to speak, Su Yazhen pinched his hand hard, causing him to immediately shut his mouth in pain.

Lu Yanchen was also stopped by Ye Jingxia, but his eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

He gritted his teeth inwardly, determined to make Ye Jiuchen pay the price.

"Alright, lead the way!" Lu Chengfeng said with a faint smile.

Soon after, Lu Chengfeng and his entourage were invited into the living room. The servants respectfully poured tea and then withdrew, leaving behind a quiet atmosphere.

Lu Chengfeng spoke first, his tone calm: "I wonder how Wan'er is doing now, and when will the Ninth Prince arrive?"

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a guard's announcement: "The Regent has arrived!"

Ye Jiuchen strode into the living room, exuding an unparalleled air of authority. He coldly looked at Lu Chengfeng and the others, his eyes flashing with icy light.

When Lu Yanchen saw Ye Jiuchen enter, he snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction with him.

Ye Jiuchen glanced at him coldly, then turned his gaze to Lu Wanning!

"Mother-in-law, what is the meaning of this? I heard from the servants that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to break my legs. What have I done?" Ye Jiuchen's voice was icy cold, without a trace of emotion.

Ye Jiuchen's tone was calm, but to the Lu family members, it seemed to carry an air of authority and oppression!

"Ninth Prince, I have heard that you and Wan'er have already had intimate relations. Is this true?" Lu Wan Ning asked directly, her gaze fixed on Ye Jiu Chen, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.

Ye Jiuchen then understood why the Lu family had seemed so aggressive; it was because of this matter…

His eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered to himself that his intimate actions with Wan'er had been leaked, making him suspect that there might be a traitor among his own people! Thinking of this, Ye Jiuchen's expression turned extremely ugly!

"That's true!" Ye Jiuchen readily admitted.

"Look at you, you little brat! How dare you bully my Wan'er like this! I'll break your legs!"

Lu Yanchen was furious. He drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at Ye Jiuchen. His anger became even more pronounced.

At the same time, the other members of the Lu family also drew their swords, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Meanwhile, the guards behind Ye Jiuchen sprang into action. They drew their swords in unison, their movements swift and powerful, forming a solid defensive line in the blink of an eye, protecting Ye Jiuchen in the center.

"Lord Duke Zhenguo, what do you mean by this? Wan'er is my princess consort. What's wrong with me doing these things?"

Ye Jiuchen's voice was cold and serious, and his gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, meeting Lu Yanchen's eyes without flinching.

"I'm so angry! Wan'er is still so young, how dare you!" Lu Qingmo was furious, her eyes blazing with anger, wishing she could tear Ye Jiuchen to pieces immediately.

"Qingmo, don't be impulsive!" Lu Chengfeng quickly advised, feeling that something was amiss and that there were loopholes in what the two of them were saying!

“Brother, you’ve been with the Ninth Prince and you have reservations, but I don’t. Others may fear him, but I don’t!” Lu Qingmo also drew his sword, ready to fight to the death.

"Mother-in-law, Wan'er and I are mutually in love. The Duke of Zhenguo is pressing us relentlessly. If we hurt them, it's their own fault!" Ye Jiuchen also lost his temper. They are all Wan'er's family. He couldn't kill them, but he could at least teach them a lesson!

"Don't be impulsive!" Lu Wanning quickly advised. She knew Ye Jiuchen's abilities, and if they really fought, her father and brother would definitely suffer.

As the two sides reached a stalemate, Dongfang Wan'er entered, supported by Qiu Qin.
