Chapter 2241: Her Choice
Chapter 2241: Her Choice
When he heard that, even King Wu was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears.
Did I hear wrongly? He's telling my wife to come into his arms?
This bastard isn’t regarding me with any importance at all!
You have successfully trolled Zhao Yan for +888 +888 +888...
He understood Yun Yuqing and Zu An’s relationship, so he immediately figured out the latter's intentions. But the cultivators and soldiers under him didn’t! They all had dumbfounded expressions.
Did the regent go mad?
The king and madam are known all over as a perfect couple who are deeply in love... Even though what we’ve seen recently doesn’t seem to really match that, but still.
Jiang Luofu was also shocked. She had been secretly mocking Zu An for being close to every single beautiful woman around, but that was just a passing thought. After all, this Yun Yuqing was a madam, and there had always been talk of her affectionate marriage circulating throughout the noble circles. Additionally, when the late emperor was still alive, he had frequently praised the two of them for their mutual respect in marriage. He had cited it as a model for other princes and his daughter-in-law.
But what was going on now? She couldn't help but become a bit worried.
Is Ah Zu getting carried away?
His cultivation is high and he has powerful combat strength, but stealing a king’s wife is a bit... too inappropriate, right?
They’re a loving couple over there. Do you think she’ll love you just because you’re strong?
Even though King Wu had come here to carry out an illegal search and seizure, and thus she hated him bitterly, she didn’t hate Yun Yuqing. After all, the latter had done her best to help her earlier.
On the other hand, she was worried that Zu An’s personality could have become twisted, that he was no longer the kind-hearted youngster she once knew and was now starting to abuse his authority and strength.
That would just be too sad...
...
Yun Yuqing felt a huge explosion go off in her mind. She naturally knew the true nature of the relationship she had with Zu An, and knew how deeply it ran better than King Wu. But... But what was he trying to do here?
I’m still a proper princess. I’m willing to follow in private, but how can I do so in front of all of these people...
Could it be because he's angry about King Wu’s treatment of the Jiang clan, so he wants to get revenge, and is doing this on purpose?
Then just what am I to him? A toy? Or maybe spoils of war to show off to the enemy?
When she thought about these things, her pretty face paled, and her eyes became a bit misty.
But since he already said it, if I followed King Wu, wouldn’t I be embarrassing him? .cσ๓
All kinds of thoughts filled her head at that moment, leaving her extremely conflicted.
At first, the soldiers around her were at a loss, but they saw that the madam didn’t immediately refuse or berate Zu An. Instead, she stood in place and hesitated. They immediately sensed that something wasn’t quite right.
What is going on with the madam?
Could it be that she's just a bit scared of the regent and doesn’t dare to refuse him?
But that doesn’t make sense! She is still the wife of a king, and King Wu is right here. There are so many cultivators and soldiers here too. She shouldn’t be so scared that she doesn’t dare to even say a single word.
Could she really have feelings for him?!
King Wu is famous for his good looks, but the regent is also handsome. More importantly, he's full of vigor, and isn’t just a weak pretty boy like King Wu. Zu An’s figure is tall and mighty like a mountain.
Normally, King Wu looked like a giant among men. But compared to Zu An, he looked like a farmyard chicken next to a red-crowned crane.
Even though Zu An's behavior didn’t seem too respectful toward King Wu... The difference really was too apparent. After all, women all liked men who were handsome and rich. They loved men who had more authority and were stronger. Even though King Wu had already done quite well in those aspects, the regent was just too much to compete against.
Yun Yuqing looked up at Zu An, and her eyes became a bit blurry. She really wanted to ask him why he was doing this to her... But she couldn't ask. All she saw in return was his gentle smile and an encouraging look.
She sighed inwardly. In the end, she still had to make a decision. She was, after all, King Wu’s nominal wife. He was the most important man in her life.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about all of that anymore.
Just then, she emptied her head of all other thoughts and moved purely on instinct.
She reflexively stepped toward Zu An.
When they saw her move, and furthermore toward him, the onlookers immediately cried out in surprise.
The soldiers were shocked, but there was also a bit of excitement in their eyes. They hadn’t expected the madam to actually have this side to her!
Does this mean that if we were strong enough, we could also get our hands on the beautiful madam?
Even though they knew that there was no way they could possibly reach Zu An's or even King Wu’s prestige, that didn’t stop them from enjoying this drama.
Jiang Luofu was also shocked.
What is going on right now?
Madam Wu looks like she’s crying, but it doesn’t look like she was forced to do this!
When she recalled how Madam Wu had claimed to be Zu An’s friend when she came to save her, she began to wonder if the two had an even deeper relationship.
When she recalled the various rumors surrounding the regent and the empress, it didn’t seem all that unexpected for him to have a secret relationship with a king’s wife?
Who would have thought that this guy was so good at seducing women?
In the past, apart from staring at my legs all the time, I don't remember him ever fooling around with me...
Yun Yuqing could hear the cries of surprise around her and snapped out of her daze. She knew that if she really walked toward Zu An, she'd likely have no hope of turning back. After all, she was a queen. There was no way she could be married to Zu An formally with that background. The praise she had received up until now would be completely replaced with abuse and mockery.
No one would dare to curse the powerful regent, but they wouldn’t be so tolerant toward a woman like her. She would thus suffer from the worst scorn in the world, perhaps even going down in history as an infamous depraved wife.
Besides, she didn’t only represent her own interests, as she had the Demon race behind her as well. Her marriage with King Wu had been part of the Demon race’s plan. Now, all of that would be destroyed. She would become a sinner of her clan...
When she realized all of that, she couldn’t help but waver. She looked up and was about to say something when she saw that warm and gentle smile once again.
In that instant, all of her hesitations completely disappeared. She didn’t think about anything else, nor did she try to calculate anything. She decided to take a risk and follow her heart. She trusted that this man wasn’t the type who would treat her as a toy and show her off in front of his enemies as a prize. He definitely had a reason for doing this. If reality proved that she was wrong, it would only mean that she'd been blind enough to love someone she shouldn’t have loved, but she could just choose death at worst.
When she thought things through, she wiped away her tears and walked toward Zu An, entering his embrace.
The moment he saw that, King Wu’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as he yelled, “Yuqing!”
Unfortunately, no matter how he called out, his own wife still walked into that man’s embrace with a smile.
Because of his unique fetish, he actually didn’t mind letting others play with his own wife, but that was only in private. This was in front of so many eyes! Such a shocking choice took the faces of him, the entire King Wu Manor, and even the royal family and ground them against the floor. This was absolute nonsense!
You have successfully trolled King Wu for +999 +999 +999...
“Bastard Zu, you're going too far!” King Wu drew the sword at his waist with reddened eyes.
When they saw him take the lead, King Wu Manor’s subordinates and the soldiers all drew their weapons. With things having already reached this point, it seemed as if a battle was unavoidable.
Jiang Luofu saw that Yun Yuqing hadn’t been forced, and that the two clearly had feelings for each other. She was no longer as worried as before, and felt a mysterious sense of happiness instead.
Just a moment before, King Wu had been pressuring the entire Jiang clan to a point where they could only feel anger and helplessness, but the tide had actually turned so quickly. He now had to endure several times more pain.
Most of the Jiang clan felt the same way. Even someone as upright as Jiang Boyang was finding a bit of joy in King Wu’s misfortune.
Return good for evil? Why bother with good? Just go straight for revenge!
Jiang Luofu couldn't help but give Zu An a look.
He's probably doing this to help me vent, right?
Her heart rate couldn't help but speed up, and her face heated up a bit.
This guy really knows how to make a woman happy.
But unfortunately, this will end up hurting Yun Yuqing...
When she thought about how Yun Yuqing had been forced into such a difficult situation, she felt a bit apologetic.
Yun Yuqing almost couldn't even stand straight anymore. Right now, she was just feeling too much pressure, and didn’t dare to look at anyone for fear of seeing their disdain and disgust. She could only bury her head in Zu An’s arms. Tears quickly soaked his clothes.
When he felt her trembling body and endless tears, Zu An realized just how much pressure she was facing. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “The reason I'm doing this is for everyone to know that you've completely cut ties with King Wu Manor. That way, you won’t be implicated by their crimes anymore.”
When she heard his explanation, Yun Yuqing reflexively raised her head. Her beautiful, tear-stained eyes suddenly shone with brilliant light. There were just too many implications behind what Zu An had just said. In that instant, she suddenly thought of all kinds of possibilities.
Her tears of sorrow turned into ones of joy.
He wasn’t that kind of person after all!
