After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 224: Meeting Again (11)

"Miss, they're such nagging people. You're clearly waiting here out of concern for the eldest lady's health and wanting to bring her some clothes," the maid Chun Ye said indignantly. "Master Wu Ya said he was delivering a message for us, so why hasn't he come out yet? You've been waiting here in the scorching sun for half an hour."

Nie Huaili smiled gently, her eyes gleaming with warmth, "Chun Ye, this is a pure land of Buddhism, don't be impatient."

A breeze blew by, rustling the branches of the large tree above her head. The mottled light and shadows swayed back and forth on her body, which was truly beautiful and dazzling.

"Miss, I'm just worried about you." Chun Ye pouted like a spoiled child and said with some resentment.

Nie Huaili chuckled, raised his right hand and pinched Chunye's cheek, "Silly girl, you're the only one who talks sweetly. Did you eat some candied dates?"

Another maid, Xia Qing, pursed her lips and said nothing. She was like an out-of-place third party, standing silently by the side holding an umbrella for Nie Huaili.

"Miss, how dare I steal the candied dates? They are your favorite snack." Chun Ye covered her face and stomped her feet in shame.

"Excuse me everyone, are you Miss Nie Er?" A young monk walked down the steps and went straight to Nie Huaili, speaking in a friendly tone.

"Yes, little master, but did Master Wuya ask you to come?" Nie Huaili asked softly with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

The young monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha." Then he said to Nie Huaili, "Second Miss Nie, Master Wuya asked me to bring you a message. Miss Nie is not in a position to see guests. Please don't worry, Second Miss Nie. She will return after praying."

The smile on Nie Huaili's face faltered for a moment. She pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, little stone Buddha. I understand. Take care."

Chun Ye, who was standing by, was about to speak when Nie Huaili stopped her, "Chun Ye, Xia Qing, let's go back home."

The young monk bowed his head slightly, said goodbye to Nie Huaili, and turned to walk towards the gate of Guangyuan Temple.

"Miss! Why are you leaving? I think that Miss Nie... Miss Nie has something to hide, so she doesn't dare to see you!" Chun Ye was anxious for a moment. She complained without restraint and followed Nie Huaili to the Nie Mansion's carriage parked not far away.

"Shut up! Chunye, I think I've spoiled you and made you lawless! You actually slandered my sister!" Nie Huaili stopped, her eyes slightly gloomy, with a hint of anger, staring straight at Chunye.

Chun Ye realized that she shouldn't say such things in public, so she slapped herself twice in the face and said, "I'm sorry, miss, I'm so rude!"

"Yes, if I were to say so, Nie Huaili, the little girl next to you should have her tongue pulled out to stop gossiping!" Suddenly, a male voice with an arrogant tone sounded.

Nie Huaili looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tu Weizhi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a folding fan and walking in front of her with a playful smile.

Seeing an old friend again, Nie Huaili had mixed feelings. She frowned slightly, "Why is the prince here?"

Prince Duan Tu Weizhi simply put away his folding fan and turned his head to look towards Guangyuan Temple, his eyes filled with longing.

Seeing this, Nie Huaili also understood why he came here, it was still because of Nie Qingxue.

Thinking of this, the first thing that came to Nie Huaili's mind was unwillingness, and then he thought of what Tu Weizhi said to the outside world.

It was said that she, Nie Huaili, was shameless and drugged him to seduce him. If Tu Weizhi had not agreed, how could she have made a prince willingly be drugged?

If Daddy hadn't gone to the Emperor to plead for mercy, Tiandu City would probably be full of rumors about her, and Tu Weizhi would have a pitiful reputation.

The public narrative is that Tu Weizhi was drunk and confused that day when he ran into Nie Huaili, who was in the backyard. Confused, he mistook Nie Huaili for Nie Qingxue and embraced her. Fortunately, the two never actually had sex, and Tu Weizhi's claims of drugging were made while he was in a state of disorientation, making them mere nonsense and not to be taken seriously.

"Of course I came to see Xue'er, but she didn't want to see me, so I had to stay here with her." Tu Weizhi was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was indeed a suave and elegant young man.

The two of them had rarely met since that incident. Nie Huaili wanted to continue developing a relationship with Tu Weizhi, but Tu Weizhi always found excuses to avoid them. After so many times, Nie Huaili began to suspect that Tu Weizhi had been drugged by Nie Qingxue.

Otherwise, how could such a big change happen to such a normal person?

Before Nie Qingxue's coming-of-age ceremony, they would often hide from Nie Qingxue and make appointments to go boating together to appreciate the flowers. If Nie Qingxue was there, they would also hold each other's hands in places where Nie Qingxue couldn't see them.

But after Nie Qingxue's coming-of-age ceremony, Tu Weizhi changed. He no longer came to Nie Huaili, but instead went to Nie Qingxue, hoping that Nie Qingxue would reconcile their engagement.

"I didn't know that Prince Duan was so deeply in love and missed my sister so much." Nie Huaili almost gritted her teeth, but she still had to maintain a gentle expression and could only desperately suppress her urge to question Tu Weizhi.

Plus, they were in public now, so she couldn't reveal her true nature. Furthermore, if she became entangled with Tu Weizi again, the rumors circulating in Tiandu City would probably be confirmed.

Tu Weizhi curled his lips into a faint smile, tilting his head slightly to stare at Nie Huaili, his eyes slightly cold. "Yes, Miss Nie, do you have any good ideas to get Xue'er to see me? Why don't we go to a nearby teahouse and sit down and chat?"

"That's great." Nie Huaili also smiled, but upon closer inspection, the smile on her face seemed a little forced.

Chun Ye wanted to persuade Nie Huaili not to go, but when she met Tu Weizhi's eyes, she closed her mouth and dared not speak.

Xia Qing took in the whole scene and sighed in her heart.

Once the young lady comes into contact with Prince Duan, she will lose the ability to make calm judgments.

When Nie Huaili got on the carriage of the Nie Mansion, Xia Qing secretly gave a look to the servant beside the carriage. After the servant came over, Xia Qing whispered a few words to him and then asked the servant to leave quickly.

Xiaoyao Teahouse is the most popular teahouse in Tiandu City, and many literati and poets love to come here.

However, Tu Weizhi is a frequent visitor here. He owns a top-grade private room and can enter at any time.

They did not go through the main gate, but through the small door, and then went all the way to the door of the top-notch private room on the second floor.

Chun Ye and Xia Qing were ordered to stand outside the door, along with several of Tu Weizhi's guards. Only Tu Weizhi and Nie Huaili were in the room.

Being alone in a room with a man and a woman, Xia Qing was very worried that something might happen. Therefore, she was always listening carefully to the movements in the room. If there was any unexpected situation, she would go in and stop it at the risk of her life.

Nie Huaili watched Tu Weizhi close the door. Before she could ask Tu Weizhi what he was going to do, she saw Tu Weizhi walking towards her quickly and hugging her tightly in his arms.

Nie Huaili was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to push Tu Weizhi away, but Tu Weizhi hugged her even tighter.

"Prince! Let me go!" Nie Huaili could no longer tolerate this inexplicable behavior, and her tone was a little anxious.

"Lier, don't push me away." Tu Weizhi's voice sounded in her ears, and Nie Huaili gave up struggling.

Tu Weizhi pushed her down onto the couch, then pressed down on her, his eyes filled with affection. "Li'er, I haven't seen you for so long because His Majesty has issued an order forbidding me from seeing you, or else he will arrange a marriage for me and make me marry someone else."

"Your Highness, please respect yourself!" Nie Huaili reached out to push him, but she restrained her strength, as if she was trying to resist but also to welcome it.

"Li'er, listen to me, I did this for us. If I want to marry you, I have to deceive His Majesty first. I said that to protect you, Li'er." Tu Weizhi's eyes were moist. He supported his hands on both sides of Nie Huaili's body, frowning slightly.

Nie Huaili pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red, and she stared stubbornly into Tu Weizhi's eyes.

She was hesitating whether to believe what Tu Weizhi said.

"Half a year has passed since that incident. During this half year, I have missed you every day. Do you think I went to Guangyuan Temple because of that woman Nie Qingxue? I just wanted to see you, but you never saw me. I could only wait for the day when you saw me." Tu Weizhi slowly pressed down, and kissed Nie Huaili's face with delicate and gentle kisses, and also kissed away the tears that slipped from the corners of Nie Huaili's eyes.

In the end, their lips touched each other, inseparable.

But when Nie Huaili closed her eyes, she did not see the dark light that flashed in Tu Weizhi's eyes.
