Chapter 719: I Want a Reason

Mingzhu quickly found the answer.
Yuwen Cong used thin wood to make the carriage lighter and faster, with only a layer of cloth and oilcloth inside and outside. So as long as the blade was sharp enough, the movement fast enough, and a bit of skill, splitting open the carriage wall was entirely possible.
She knew it. Yuwen You couldn’t be that powerful.
Yuwen You keenly caught the fleeting expression of disdain on Mingzhu’s face, couldn’t help but rage inwardly. He wanted to vent but couldn’t find an outlet. He couldn’t just rush over and pry open her eyes to make her see how truly powerful he was, could he? However, he couldn’t swallow this resentment either.
Looking around, Yuwen Cong’s men had been dealt with, and there was no place to vent his anger. So he looked darkly at Jiang Zhouzi, who kept babbling and desperately trying to build rapport with him. He had long disliked this hindering leg, and he had wanted to deal with him properly back in the capital, but he never had the chance. Now the opportunity had come, how could he let it slip?
Thinking of this, Yuwen You grabbed his long blade and swung it towards Jiang Zhouzi’s head.
Mingzhu exclaimed, and Jiang Zhouzi paled in fright. Before he could dodge, the blade was already at his head, “Beg me. If you beg me, I might treat you and your child a little better. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and kill the bastard in your belly.”
Mingzhu felt a chill again. It was a coldness that had passed through her from her past life to this life. She believed him. In her past life, he could treat her family so ruthlessly, so now he could certainly treat her child the same way. She knew she should beg for mercy, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She didn’t want to bow down in front of him, didn’t want to lower her head in the future, and didn’t want Yuwen Chu to be humiliated as well.
Seeing her silent, Jiang Zhouzi panicked and rushed over to hug Yuwen You’s thigh, pleading, “You can’t do this. The child in her belly is almost due. If something happens, it’s a double tragedy, a double tragedy! Then Your Highness won’t be able to use her to gain benefits. It’s better to keep her well and let her give birth. Then you’ll have an extra city!”
Yuwen You ignored Jiang Zhouzi, instead, he stared straight ahead, saying word by word, “Fu Mingzhu, sparing the b*stard in your belly is not impossible, but I need a reason. Why?”
Mingzhu whispered softly, “What reason do you want?”
Yuwen You said indifferently, “Why did you null the marriage? Why have you changed so much? Did Yuwen Chu say something to you?”
Mingzhu felt like she would never be able to clarify this matter with him. After pondering for a while, she whispered, “With your snake-like heart, I’ve long known that you are not sincere towards me. You have never shown an ounce of pity towards me and my family. Now you threaten to harm the child in my womb and still have the audacity to ask me why? Even if you have never been a father, never had children, you have been someone’s son and should understand the love and care parents have for their children. Do you think I would risk everything to be with someone like you? If you weren’t this kind of person, no one would have the chance to speak ill of you to me.”
Yuwen You suddenly turned his head to look at her, only to see her eyes half-lowered, her long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her lips pale and bloodless. She looked unwell, but her back was straighter than ever.
He suddenly felt a deep exhaustion, coupled with a profound sense of sadness. It seemed that the more he desired something from childhood to adulthood, the further away it drifted from him.
