121 Royal Wedding V

Yang Ning clenched her fists in disgust when Yang Luoyang suddenly grabbed her chin and looked at her with his mocking-filled gaze.

” Yang Ning, you are getting married to the Crown Prince as my rat, so just do as I order you to do.”

” Don’t misunderstand that this marriage is for your sake. I am the one who arranged this marriage, so you have to do as I say.”

“From now on, you will report to me every single thing about Zheng Liang, from the food he eats to the people he meets. Do not miss anything!”

“Do you understand my words?” He asked coldly while pinching her chin hard.

Yang Ning winced in pain when his nails dug into her skin, leaving a slight scratch on her face.

Her frown deepened upon witnessing this kind of filthy attitude of Yang Luoyang. Until now, he had asked her to do things discreetly and had never been this much transparent to her about the things he wanted her to do.

However, now he was showing his true colors! The true face of a villain of the novel.

If he was doing this despite knowing that Yu Ling has her back and has been protecting her all along, how must he have threatened Yang Ning when she didn’t have anyone to take her side or protect her?

.....

This man is truly a disappointment in the name of a Father.

She wanted to yank his hand aside when his disgusting hands touched her. However, she bore the humiliation for once because if she caused a scene now, he would become wary of her.

Then he will not reveal his disgusting face in front of her again and it will be difficult for her to know what is going on in his mind.

*Knock, Knock*

While Yang Luoyang was trying to brainwash Yang Ning and was threatening her to follow his orders from now on, someone pounded loudly on the door.

Yang Ning glanced toward the door and let out a sigh of relief. Looks like Xiaowei came back to take her away.

A frown formed on Yang Luoyang’s wrinkled forehead when he noticed Yang Ning sighing in relief and looked at her with a suspicious gaze before shouting at someone who was pounding on the door, ” Who is it? Why are you pounding on the door?”

“Didn’t I say to not disturb us until I asked you to come in?” He shouted as he didn’t want anyone to disturb them at the moment.

He needs to warn Yang Ning before the royal wedding so that she will not betray him later and will come to her senses.

She is his biggest investment that he had nurtured until now. How can he let his efforts go in vain?

He needs to reap some profits from her. She needs to repay him for the life that he has given to him.

She needs to know that even if she doesn’t side with him, he has many other ways to make her follow his orders.

There is no way she could survive in a cruel place like the Royal palace which is full of schemings and betrayal.

Because he will make sure that her life will become miserable and pathetic at the royal palace.

.....

The pounding on the door stopped momentarily after hearing Yang Luoyang’s roar.

Yang Ning pursed her lips in disappointment as she was expecting Xiaowei to come in and take her away from this uncomfortable situation.

She was doing her best to control her temper because if she loses her cool, she will forget about the so-called relationship between Yang Luoyang and Yang Ning and will kick him hard in his groin.

Because he deserves it.

How dare he touch her without her permission and act like a thug toward her and threaten her as if she is his puppet and not his daughter?

However, if she did something out of the ordinary today, Yang Luoyang will get suspicious of her and will do his best to eliminate her from the palace.

Because he is capable enough to do that. After reading the novel, she detested him the most.

Yang Luoyang chuckled to see Yang Ning sighing heavily and scoffed while slapping her face lightly, ” Did you think that your maid would come inside to protect you? Well, you’re wrong.”

“Even if she is your loyal maid, she can never go against my orders.”

“About Yu Ling, since I know about her prying attitude, I already busied her with other work before coming here. Yang Ning, no one can save you from my dark shadow. Not even His Highness.”

“So stop acting stubborn and act like a good girl, just like you were in the past. If you do that, I will treat you better. Also, if something is good for me, don’t you think it will be beneficial for you as well?” He tried to tempt her.

However, while he was busy threatening her, someone banged on the door once again which surprised him. Before he could react to the sound and scold who is doing all this, the door of the chamber was pushed open with a force hard from the outside.

Yang Luoyang was startled and straightened his back immediately when he caught the sight of Yu ling standing there.

His face turned ashen to see Yu Ling appearing out of nowhere. He glanced at Yang Ning with a frown before hiding his hands that were slapping Yang Ning on the face earlier behind his back and clasping them.

” Lady Yu Ling, what are you doing here? Weren’t you at the storage room, checking the list of the gifts?” He asked while trying to hide his panic in front of her.

A deep frown appeared on Yu Ling’s face upon noticing an uncomfortable air in the chamber. She glanced at Yang Ning’s face and could see her frowning and her face had turned pale.

Her eyes caught the slight scratch on Yang Ning’s face which looked quite evident because of the white powder.

She pursed her lips and looked at Yang Luoyang coldly and said indifferently, ” I have already checked the dowry gifts in the storage room.”

“Minister Yang, I heard from Xiaowei that you were having a private conversation with Lady Yang Ning.” When she was working at the warehouse and was leading the servants to load the gifts in the carriage, Xiaowei came to her while running. She informed her while panting that Yang Luoyang had asked all the maids to wait outside and had been speaking to Yang Ning in private.

Although it is normal for a Father to spend some quality time with their daughter before the wedding ceremony, however, Yang Luoyang is not like any other father. In the past few weeks, she has come to realize that the relationship between Yang Ning and Yang Luoyang is not normal.

She could see the panic in Xiaowei’s eyes and decided to come and check on Yang Ning herself. However, when she knocked on the door for the first time, she realized that something was not right when Yang Luoyang scowled at her and shouted at her to go away.

Something was not right! There was no reason for him to react in such a way.

She believed in her instincts and pushed open the door without his permission.

She was aware that it was not a polite thing to do, especially when she taught Xiaowei to not enter their Master’s chamber without knocking on the door first and receiving their permission. However, in this case, she was doing it for Yang Ning.

Her loyalty belongs to Yang Ning and if she has to become rude to guard her, she will gladly do that.

“Minister Yang, pardon me for disturbing you when you were spending some special time with your daughter before the wedding.” She said while glancing at Yang Ning who was sitting at the chair but was looking frightened for some reason.

” However, I believe it is time for Lady Yang Ning to leave for the royal palace. If we don’t leave now, our carriage will be late for the auspicious hour for the wedding ceremonies.” She said while asserting the urgency to leave the Household and reach the palace for the wedding ceremonies.

Normally, the groom’s side comes to the bride’s house for the commencement of the wedding ceremonies. However, as it is a royal wedding, it would not be appropriate to hold the wedding ceremony at the Yang Household when so many prestigious guests will be attending the banquet.

That is why Yang Ning will depart for the royal palace where the wedding ceremonies will be taking place and will be followed by a wedding banquet for all the guests.

“The other guests could wait for us, however, I am sure even Minister Yang would not like to make His Majesty wait for us and the bride.” Yu Ling said and showed her assertiveness by mentioning His Majesty in the conversation.

Yang Luoyang pursed his lips when Yu Ling barged into the chamber and ruined his plan. However, upon hearing His Majesty’s name, he couldn’t say anything to make her leave either.

He clenched his fists and gave a warning glare to Yang Ning before turning to Yu Ling and said, ” Of course. How can we make His Majesty for us?”

” Then....You can ask the servants to prepare the carriage that Yang Ning is going to ride. I still have some words to speak to her-”

He tried to send her away by making an excuse but Yu Ling politely interrupted him and said, ” Everything is ready. I have already asked the servants to decorate the carriage and prepare it.”

” The gifts have been loaded in the other carriage as well. Now everyone is waiting for Lady Yang Ning so that we can depart for the palace.” She said with a slight smirk on her face.

” If Minister Yang would not mind, I would like to prepare and touch up Lady Yang Ning’s makeup before leaving for the palace.” She said, waiting for his response.

Yang Luoyang pursed his lips and could see that this woman had no intention to leave him alone with Yang Ning. He bit his lower lip with disappointment and said, ” Sure. You should do that. Then....I leave her in your care.” After saying this, he reluctantly exited the chamber.
