After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Chapter 170 Setting up a trap

The queen sat for a while and then told everyone to play by themselves.

As there were quite a lot of things to do at the banquet, Nangong Yuan felt a little bored by noon.

"I'm going for a walk."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Don't go far."

"it is good."

She nodded, stood up and walked out the door, Tao Zhu followed her and held the cloak for her.

"Miss, please go inside. It's windy over there."

Tao Zhu blocked the wind from the side for her.

"No, I'll just get some fresh air to wake myself up."

She had drunk a few glasses of wine and her cheeks were slightly red, but she was very sober and not drunk yet.

There was a heater burning in the hall, so it wasn't cold, but it was windy outside. She stood at the railing and looked into the distance, able to see the red walls and green tiles.

"Eh? Isn't that the eldest son?"

Tao Zhu looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.

Nangong Yuan followed his gaze and saw that it was indeed him.

"Brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the front hall?"

Tao Zhu shook his head: "Maybe something happened."

But as soon as he finished speaking, a woman appeared beside him.

The man seemed to say something to Nangong Jin and then knelt down to salute.

Nangong Jin waved his hand slightly, as if to refuse something. The woman did not force him. After bowing, she took her people away.

"elder brother."

Nangong Yuan only felt confident and bold enough to call out to him when she saw that everyone had left.

"A Yuan, why did you come out? It's so cold outside."

He subconsciously put the hood on her and asked, "Where's the mother?"

"Inside, I came out for a walk. Who was that person just now?"

Nangong Jin looked a little unhappy: "The legitimate daughter of Duke Jinyang."

"Oh? Tao Ruo, what happened to her?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of sharpness appeared between Nangong Jin's brows.

"When I came out, I saw Lord Shenyang trying to tug at her, so I stepped forward to help her. I didn't expect him to say that Miss Tao was already engaged to him, so there was nothing wrong with etiquette."

Nangong Yuan said: "Hey, brother, they really are engaged."

"what?"

This shocked him.

"That old man is already his father, and there is still an engagement?"

Nangong Yuan sighed, "Duke Jinyang promised her away in order to win over the power, and we outsiders have no right to say anything."

"It's ridiculous. If you're talking about winning over people, there aren't many capable people in the Shenyang government, so why would it be necessary to do this?"

The next moment he thought of something else: "Could it be that he was going after Shen Jingyi?"

"The two families are from the same clan, so they are involved in any way. She can't force the person on Shen Jingyi, so she has to find another way."

Nangong Jin sneered: "How ridiculous, these people do nothing but play tricks all day long, how can they be good?"

Will a young girl become a widow after getting married?

Besides, that old man looks disgusting, how can I kiss him?

"The Duke of Jinyang has no ambitions. Even the title of Duke is hereditary. Now that things are going from bad to worse, it's natural that he wants to grasp at straws."

Unfortunately, his calculation was wrong.

There was no way Shen Jing would look upon them in a good light.

No one rescued him when he was in trouble before, so it is absolutely impossible to get close to him now.

"It's a pity for such a good girl. By the way... Shen Jingyi, otherwise I will go and tell him to ruin this marriage."

Nangong Yuan was helpless: "Brother, it's not that simple. If she doesn't marry this man, she will marry someone else. Duke Jinyang will definitely use her. What should we do then?"

In this era, women never have the final say in their marriage.

If he wants to help, he has to find the right place.

Hearing this, Nangong Jin fell silent.

"These damn things."

"Under the prosperity of Kyoto, the five evils are all present. It is rotten to the core. There is only so much you and I can do."

Even the emperor has to be controlled by others, let alone them.

The two people stood in front of the corridor, and neither of them spoke first.

The palace is magnificent and majestic, and standing here it seems that you can overlook the world.

But Nangong Yuan only felt that this place was covered with nets, trapping all those who were desperately flapping their wings to escape.

"A Yuan, I won't let you be helpless."

Nangong Jin thought for a moment and said this.

"Brother, I won't do that either. If someone wants me to bow my head and accept my fate, I will never give in even if I die."

She tilted her head, her overly beautiful eyes had a sharp arc and a kind of desolate north wind.

Looking at his determined sister, Nangong Jin nodded.

"Don't worry, I will work hard after I return. When my family has a title, I will ask for you to be a princess. When you have a fief, you can do whatever you want without any restriction."

Nangong Yuan couldn't help but smile as she didn't expect Nangong Jin to think so far ahead.

"Thank you, brother. I'll wait for that day."

She knew that her brother loved her, but she didn't expect it to go to this extent.

But this also has something to do with the good relationship between my parents.

People who grow up in such a family are rarely selfish.

He has the ability to love, which is rare enough.

"Ah."

He didn't say much more, just wanting to use time to prove that what he said was not empty talk.

·······

"Young General Nangong."

Suddenly a voice came from behind them, and the two of them turned around at the same time with surprised expressions.

"Your Highness the Night King!"

"No need to be so polite. It was too stuffy in the hall just now, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect you two to be here too."

Xiao Heyun was sitting in a wheelchair, but he looked extremely strong.

The smile on that face, which was too handsome and seemed a little sharp, was very faint.

Nangong Yuan looked at him, wanting to say something but then fell silent.

"Your Highness, please come out for some fresh air. However, it's windy right now, so you should go inside first."

Nangong Jin didn't want him to get close to his sister, so he quickly opened his mouth and tried to push him away.

"It's windy here, just right to sober up."

If he doesn't leave, there's nothing others can do.

Nangong Jin glared at him, looking a little gritting his teeth.

"Miss Nangong, long time no see."

She knew this person had a bad taste, so she asked, "My Lord, when have we met before?"

Sure enough, the man choked.

"Well, even though I haven't seen it, there's no need for you to be so harsh, girl."

Nangong Yuan raised her eyebrows, wanting to know if he had really decided to stay.

But with my brother around, such questioning seemed too rude.

So she said, "Your Majesty, you think too much. I don't."

"It doesn't matter. I won't be really angry no matter what you say."

Nangong Jin on the side coughed loudly, indicating that he was still here and asked him not to be so reckless.

"There are many things to do in the palace today. I will explain it after everything is over."

Nangong Yuan was stunned and said, "Have you really made up your mind?"

"I will never look back."

She had no choice but to close her eyes and nodded: "If you want to do it, then go ahead, but be careful."

Nangong Jin looked at the familiar atmosphere between the two of them and felt that he must have missed some important clue.

"Well, okay, Ayuan, go back. It's cold outside."
