There was no one more terrifying than Ning Yuxuan. He clearly only had the title of marquis, but he had control of the Six Ministries. He looked like a weak scholar, but his martial art skills were better than the average warrior. If you asked him if there was anything he didn't know about the imperial court, he could even tell you what day and which estate someone went up.

Nie Qingyun wished that he could doubt that Ning Yuxuan and think that he was only trying to trick him, but there was no benefit to Ning Yuxuan if he divorced Errong. On the contrary, once Nie Clan became the dominant power, it would actually be a lossl to Marquis Moyu if the connection between him and Errong was gone.

He wanted more time to consider. After all, there was peace and prosperity right now without any news of change.

And so, during the next few days, he didn't go home. Ning Yuxuan reserved this room for him. In the passing, he pointed out a dancer named Geshan.

Geshan looked very similar to Sangyu. There was a light mark between her eyebrows, her lips were red, and her waist was soft. However, she didn't enter Nie Qingyun's eyes.

He was worried about Errong. He didn't know what she was doing while he had been away from home. When he went home three days ago, he left right after getting a change of clothes. He hadn't been able to resist looking at her from his peripheral vision. Seeing that her face had become wan and sallow, he felt slightly distressed.

Still, it was better for him to leave. If he did get news of a change, he could use the excuse that his feelings for her had faded to divorce her.

Faded, his ass! He liked Errong. Every day, he liked her a little bit more. He wanted nothing more than to hug her and not leave her side.

However, what if Yuxuan had told him the truth?

Chen-shi stopped him as he was leaving the estate. With an unsmiling face, she said, "Since Ning Errong is unable to keep you at home, why won't you hurry up with taking a concubine? She's been married to you for so long, and she still hasn't gotten pregnant. You should be making other arrangements."

Nie Qingyun felt a bit cranky. He nodded and left.

Take a concubine? This idea had never occurred to him. Errong was enough.

However, the news that Nie Xiangyuan was going to be removed from his position came out of the imperial court. The army had lost a battle because there was a problem with the weaponry. The emperor was furious, and someone naturally had to bear the brunt of the emperor's anger.

Before the news had spread, Ning Yuxuan gave him advance notice. And so, with a pale face, Nie Qingyun brought Geshan home with him.

He saw the surprised look in everyone's eyes and even saw an incredulity in his most beloved sister's eyes.

In actuality, they were overthinking things. Errong was the only woman he romantically loved. He wasn't a beast that would have such ideas about his own sister.

He didn't know why Ning Yuxuan would find a dancer that looked like his younger sister. What a twisted person.

After he took Geshan as his concubine, Errong hid in her room. He stood outside her room scratching at the wall. He wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't. He couldn't even go inside and offer her a word of comfort.

Ning Yuxuan better not have lied to him. Otherwise, it didn't matter if he was a marquis, he was going to punch him in the face.
