After severing all ties with family and friends, the villain's entire family was filled with re

Chapter 81: I can see her once every 7 days.

Qin Wan stood on the street, unsure of where to go.

Today I must deliver the storybook to Master Qiao, otherwise I will be breaking my promise. But where can Xiao Jingyan go now?

Qin Wan tried hard to think, but she knew too little about Xiao Jingyan and really didn't know where he liked to go.

Just as Qin Wan was about to try her luck at the palace gate, she looked up and saw a familiar face.

It's Xiao Jingyan!

Qin Wan was delighted, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Fifth Prince!" Qin Wan jogged forward.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyan was walking towards Qin Wan, carrying Li Ji's peach shortbread in one hand and a sugar figurine in the other.

"Miss Qin!"

Qin Wan was surprised. Was her outfit not perfect enough? How could he tell?

I must have called out to him just now.

Qin Wan would never have noticed that her peach blossom eyes didn't look like a man's at all.

"Here, I just bought this. Here, have one!" Xiao Jingyan handed one of the sugar figurines to Qin Wan.

Qin Wan took the sugar figurine, but her gaze was fixed on his face. She hadn't noticed before, but as she got closer, she realized how badly Qin Lang had beaten her yesterday; the marks were still visible.

Immediately, Qin Wan felt a pang of guilt. "Fifth Prince, your injury..."

"It's alright." Xiao Jingyan didn't want to see Qin Wan unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject. "Have you found the storybook?"

"I've found it. I'll trouble Your Highness to make the trip!"

"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor!"

Xiao Jingyan wanted to take the storybook, but found that her hands were already occupied by food.

Helpless, he could only straighten his chest and let Qin Wan stuff the storybook into his arms.

Qin Wan understood, but it made her feel a little embarrassed, since they were on the street after all.

But then I thought, she's dressed as a man now, and she's his fiancée, so it wouldn't hurt to help her out.

He put the sugar figurine in his mouth, tugged at Xiao Jingyan's clothes, and put the storybook into his arms.

Passersby were busy and hurried by, and no one paid them any attention, but in the teahouse not far away, a pair of eyes were watching them.

Qin Lang was waiting for someone when he glanced down and spotted Qin Wan sneaking out.

She was his sister, and he could tell at a glance no matter how she dressed.

He truly never expected that she would be so shameless, even though she was confined to the house, she still had to sneak out to meet him in secret, and even made such intimate gestures in the street.

Does she really want to become a prince's wife?

She was willing to marry a fool in order to climb the social ladder and become part of the royal family.

Qin Lang's eyes seemed to spit fire, and his uncontrollable rage caused him to squeeze the teacup to pieces.

"Brother Qin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

When Qin Lang and the others arrived and saw the teacup he had crushed, they also glanced outside.

"Brother Qin, what are you looking at?"

Fearing that others would discover Qin Wan's secret rendezvous, Qin Lang hurriedly closed the window.

"It's nothing, it's just windy today, it's better to keep the windows closed!"

But the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress his anger. He couldn't let her continue to be so willful. Even if she wanted to marry a prince, it couldn't be that fool, the Fifth Prince.

The court's power has already been secretly divided into several parts. If the struggle for the princes begins, the fifth prince will be like a fish on a chopping board, and Wan'er will only face death if she marries him.

Wan'er absolutely cannot marry Xiao Jingyan!

Here.

After Qin Wan handed the storybook to Xiao Jingyan, she had to return to the manor. Wan Shuang was still impersonating her in the courtyard, so she couldn't stay outside for long.

"Thank you for your help yesterday, Fifth Prince. I will trouble you again today. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best!"

After speaking, Qin Wan was about to bow when she realized that she was now a man, so she gave him a cupped-hand salute instead.

Xiao Jingyan took a bite of the sugar figurine and put it in her mouth; it was fragrant, sweet, and very delicious.

"Miss Qin, there's no need to thank me. My father has already bestowed a marriage upon us. You are my future wife, and this matter concerns my future wife, so naturally I will not ignore it!"

Qin Wan smiled slightly. He helped her because she was his future wife.

If it weren't for this marriage agreement, he probably wouldn't even glance at her.

That's good. In his heart, she was just someone who held the title of a prince's consort. It wouldn't matter who she was.

In that case, once she marries him and is completely free from the Marquis's mansion, she can leave without any obstacles or entanglements.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan felt a surge of excitement, as if she were looking forward to that day.

"Fifth Prince, I will need your help to deliver this storybook to Leishan Temple again in the future. But I don't know how to contact you next time?" Qin Wan asked.

Xiao Jingyan pondered for a moment, then looked up at the teahouse across the street and said.

"From now on, we'll meet at this teahouse every seven days at this time. You'll give me the storybook then, and I'll take it to Leishan Temple!"

Qin Wan followed Xiao Jingyan's gaze to the teahouse across the street, where the windows were tightly closed. She nodded and said, "Alright, I'll trouble you from now on, Fifth Prince!"

"I left in a hurry today and did not report to the manor. I will not keep Your Highness any longer and will take my leave now!"

Qin Wan turned aside and walked past him.

Xiao Jingyan's gaze seemed to be hooked, staring blankly at every step she took, and his originally joyful heart suddenly turned disappointed.

Fortunately, I can see her once every seven days.

Qin Wan was confined to the mansion and could only go to Jingxin Courtyard to pay her respects to the old lady every morning. At other times, she was not allowed to leave the courtyard.

This also saved her from seeing annoying people every day.

But after being confined for seven days, it's time to deliver the storybooks again, and Qin Wan is going out again today.

"Evening Frost, just like last time, stay in your room until I get back, and don't see anyone!"

Having succeeded last time, this time the night cream was clearly less afraid.

"Yes, I understand. Miss, please be careful too!"

Qin Wan nodded, straightened her clothes, and then went out again.

Just like last time, she climbed over the wall out of Wanyue Courtyard, dodged the passing servants, went around the artificial hill, and the exit was right in front of her.

Qin Wan rolled up her trouser legs and carefully walked towards the cave.

But just as she squatted down, a large hand grabbed her hair from behind and lifted her up from her squatting position.

My hair was being pulled painfully, the tearing sensation from my scalp was excruciating.

"Qin Wan, I didn't expect that even confining you to your quarters couldn't stop you from going out for a secret rendezvous. Last time I gave you face and didn't bring it up."

"You actually dared to sneak out today! You disguised yourself as a man and went out to meet someone in secret! How could you be so shameless?"

Qin Lang grabbed Qin Wan's hair and flung her to the ground, messing up the servant's neatly combed hair.

Qin Wan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She had been very careful, but she had still been discovered, which meant that he was monitoring her.
