Chapter 182 Being plotted
"It's not you?"
Nangong Yi looked at Xie Zhiyi suspiciously, trying to tell from her expression whether she was lying or not.
"It's really not me. I don't even know what you want to ask!" Xie Zhi knew that he definitely didn't believe her when he asked that, so she slammed the table in anger and stood up.
Seeing Xie Zhiyi's furious state, Nangong Yi immediately believed Xie Zhiyi, sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie asked the Nangong family to form a marriage with the Su family and let me marry the young lady of the Su family."
After hearing this, Xie Zhiyi blurted out, "Aren't you two that kind of relationship?"
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Yi's eyes immediately darkened, and he threw a glare at Xie Zhiyi, "If you don't know how to speak, just shut up." Her words made Nangong Yi pinch his eyebrows in anger.
"The first time I met Miss Su, it was just a chance encounter. How did it become like this in your eyes? Are you sure you haven't told anyone else about this?"
"Really not."
Xie Zhiyi looked at Nangong Yi's distressed expression. It seemed that it had nothing to do with Su Qingyu. As a person who had been urged to get married by his mother for many years, Xie Zhiyi felt very sympathetic to Nangong Yi at this moment.
"Then just wish yourself luck."
Nangong Yi didn't say anything. Only he, Xie Zhiyi, and Miss Su knew about this matter. If Xie Zhiyi hadn't told others, then he would have been plotted against.
Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed.
Oh, right, that corpse.
He immediately stood up and hurried out of the private room. Xie Zhiyi watched him leave in such a hurry and shouted behind him, "Why are you leaving? Invite this princess to dinner first!"
Nangong Yi heard Xie Zhiyi's voice behind him and left without looking back.
Xie Zhiyi muttered, "I'll order for myself!" Then she called out, "Waiter!"
After Xie Zhiyi finished her meal, she was about to take her horse away when she realized it was missing. She was so angry that she called the waiter to ask for clarification. The waiter said respectfully:
"My distinguished guest, the young man who came with you just now took the horse away and asked me to give you this silver." The waiter looked at Xie Zhiyi's expression and knew that he was someone not to be trifled with, so he spoke tremblingly.
Xie Zhiyi looked at the silver ingot and cursed angrily, "This bastard!"

Nangong Yi rode his horse all the way to the hunting ground a few days ago and found the place where he had thrown the body that day, but found that the body had disappeared long ago. He searched around but found no trace of it.
Only now did he truly understand that the plan of that day had been waiting for him one after another.
After returning from the hunting ground, he went back to the Nangong Mansion and planned to take the Nangong family badge to the palace to find his aunt, wanting to get an explanation and also wanting to reject the marriage.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, the servants surrounded him. Nangong Yi subconsciously wanted to escape, but was blocked. Just as he was about to take action, he heard his father's voice behind him.
"Yufeng, where are you going?"
Nangong Jie asked coldly.
"You didn't come home all night, and your mother was extremely worried. Now you've just returned, where are you going?"
Nangong Yi had no choice but to turn around and walk to his father, calling out, "Father." Then he looked up at Nangong Jie and said, "Father and Mother arranged a marriage for me without even asking for my opinion. Naturally, I have to go to the palace to ask my aunt for an explanation."
Nangong Jie scolded: "Nonsense!"
"You can see your aunt whenever you want? Besides, what's wrong with this marriage? Prime Minister Su is an upright man, and his daughter is a talented woman in the capital. I heard from your aunt that you and her had a very pleasant conversation."
"Why is this marriage bad?!"
Everyone in the capital knows what kind of person Prime Minister Su is, so his daughter must be right.
"Which eye of yours saw me chatting happily with that Miss Su? I definitely don't even know her!"
"Treasonous and unethical! Treasonous and unethical!"
Nangong Jie was also very angry about Nangong Yi's attitude.
"Someone come! Tie up the young master for me!" Nangong Jie shouted, and the guards in the mansion came forward to take action. But how could the guards in the mansion stop Nangong Yi? They were taken care of by him in two or three moves.
"I won't agree to this marriage. If you insist on marrying Miss Su, you can marry whoever you want." Nangong Yi said, and was about to leave the Nangong Mansion. It seemed that he would have to flee the capital for another month or two.
If no one else can be found by then, the marriage will naturally be called off.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yi was about to leave. At this moment, a servant outside the mansion suddenly rushed in and said, "Master! Someone from the Su Mansion has sent a letter! They also said that it must be delivered to you." The servant immediately handed the envelope to Nangong Jie.
Upon hearing this news, Nangong Yi also stopped.
Nangong Jie opened the envelope and saw that it roughly stated that her daughter had wanted to see someone before, but hadn't confirmed it yet. Then there were some words of apology.
"Even if you want to marry, it's not your turn yet. Come back quickly!" Nangong Jie said unhappily. It was such a pity for this marriage. You know, they got an advantage by marrying into the Su family.
When Nangong Yi heard this, he immediately understood what was written in the letter. His expression immediately changed and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Father, I'll go see mother first so she doesn't worry."
Nangong Yi walked with a lighter step, feeling relieved. Now that both families disagreed with the marriage, he thought his aunt would not force the two families to marry.
Nangong Jie looked at Nangong Yi's figure and sighed. When will this kid be able to stay at home peacefully? He keeps messing around all day.
"Come with me to the study and deliver the letter to the Su Mansion as soon as possible." Nangong Yi then took the servants to the study. This matter must have a result, and naturally a letter had to be sent to the Su family.
……
An hour later.
The Su family also received the letter that Nangong Jie had sent to them. After reading it, Madam Su finally felt relieved. It was good that the Nangong family didn't press them.
"This matter has finally come to an end, and the Nangong family has no grudge against us. After all, the Nangong is the Queen's maternal family. If we really offended the Queen, what would we do in the future?"
"Now I can finally rest assured."
Su Qingyu also relaxed.
Fortunately, Gui Wan sent someone to pass on the message that Young Master Nangong also did not agree with this marriage, otherwise she would not have thought of asking her mother to go to the Nangong Mansion to deliver the message immediately.
Now that both families disagree, the Queen naturally won't say anything.
Madam Su was just worrying about Su Qingyu's future marriage when suddenly a servant from outside the house ran in to report, "Madam, Princess Chen is here."
