Chapter 772: Authorization
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Seeing Zheng Momo heading outside, Dong Hui immediately caught up with Mingzhu and whispered, “What does Wangfei think of the Wusun Princess?”
The temperament of the Wusun Princess was different from the people here in the Central Plains. She wasn’t good at pretending; everything showed on her face. She was impulsive, didn’t like to be advised, refused to admit defeat, and wasn’t afraid of a fight. She had just torn off all pretenses earlier, leaving no face for anyone, indicating she didn’t care. So even if Yuwen You forced her to come and apologize, she wouldn’t easily yield. On the contrary, she might do something more extreme.
What would be more extreme? Making a scene in front of the Regent Mansion wasn’t even considered much. Facing death was the most terrifying. Mingzhu shivered and called Dong Hui over. “You go. If you see what I guessed happened, I authorize you to act as you see fit. It doesn’t matter if you injure her or leave her half-dead, just don’t let her die.”
Dong Hui said, “I have one thing to request from Wangfei.”
Mingzhu smiled and said, “Isn’t it the small crossbow that was just delivered and can shoot pellets? Take it.” She didn’t intend to target the Wusun Princess, but since the other party insisted on biting her, she couldn’t blame her.
Dong Hui hurriedly left Yinghui Hall. First, she inquired about Zheng Momo’s whereabouts. The little maid Qingqiang didn’t understand why she was looking for Zheng Momo and laughed, “Is Sister looking for Zheng Momo? She’s gone to the kitchen.”
Dong Hui chuckled lightly. Could it be that she guessed wrong? That would be better. Without bothering Zheng Momo, she quietly slipped out from the back door and hid in a convenient spot near the front door, closely observing the movements at the gate.
Yuwen You looked at the tightly closed gates of the Regent’s Mansion with a gloomy expression. He couldn’t even enter the gates. The Wusun Princess sneered beside him, “Your Highness, you’re trying to apologize, but you can’t even get in. I feel sorry for you. How about this? Let me figure out a solution. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”
Yuwen You gave her a cold glance and asked, “How do you plan to make me satisfied?”
The Wusun Princess chuckled, “You want me to apologize to Fu Mingzhu, right? Since she won’t let me in, I’ll kneel down in the street and loudly beg for her forgiveness. What do you think, Your Highness?”
Yuwen You rubbed his forehead. Her previous spectacle in front of many noble families and dignitaries had already cornered him. If she caused another scene now, it would be an irredeemable situation. Not only would Yuwen Chu certainly not forgive him easily, but Fu Mingzhu would probably also confront him to the end.
He had just managed to open up the situation, barely managing to coexist peacefully with Yuwen Chu and the people of the Fu family. He even managed to gather some people in Yicheng. Why did things suddenly return to square one? He asked the Wusun Princess in pain, “I treated you well, why do you keep causing trouble for me one after another? Are you truly foolish, or do you have a grudge against me and intentionally do this?”
The Wusun Princess looked at him sharply, “Do you truly not understand, or are you pretending not to? My status is not inferior to yours. I was also nurtured and raised in the palms of others since I was young. Whether you treated me well or not, you know in your heart. Do you feel like you have no way out now? Feel extremely frustrated? Then that’s good, that’s the feeling I want to give you. If you’re disloyal to me, you should bear this consequence. Because that’s exactly how I feel now, with no way out, and a bleak future.”
“So, are you doing this intentionally? You know that doing so will cause me great trouble, but you insist on doing it?” Yuwen You was momentarily stunned, then self-deprecatingly smiled, “You all hate me so much, why?”
The Wusun Princess felt a little melancholy, “No, I didn’t hate you before. I gave you everything, but you didn’t appreciate it. In your eyes, the one you can’t get is always the best. In your eyes, I’m probably not even comparable to a single strand of Fu Mingzhu’s hair, am I really that inferior?”
Yuwen You furrowed his brow irritably, “How many times do I have to say it? Don’t associate me with her. She is she, I am me. We are already impossible. Is it fun for you to keep causing trouble like this?”
“Alright, I believe that there’s no possibility between you and her. Then take me back home immediately. I won’t mention what happened before, and I’ll continue to live with you wholeheartedly, alright?” There was a hopeful gleam in the Wusun Princess’s eyes. “I did all this just to make you give up on her and live a devoted life with me.”
Yuwen You shook his head firmly, “No, you must apologize until she forgives you. Otherwise, what’s the use of a Linan Wangfei who is rejected by the royal family and nobles?”
The Wusun Princess suddenly felt a chill in her heart. “So what you care more about is whether I’m useful or not, right?”
Yuwen You said indifferently, “You brought this upon yourself. Every time I tried to make progress, you always, out of jealousy for no reason, caused trouble. I don’t want to beat you because you clearly aren’t afraid of being beaten and are unteachable. But I believe there must be a way to make you a bit smarter. Listen carefully, if you can’t get her forgiveness, I will show you what true jealousy is.”
“How are you going to do that? I did all this for you. Don’t you have any sympathy or compassion?” The Wusun Princess shouted sharply.
Yuwen You looked at the vast night sky and said softly, “Someone who constantly lives in fear of death, worrying day and night that they won’t see the sun the next day, doesn’t deserve such sympathy or compassion. Although at the beginning of our marriage and before that, I did want to live a good life with you, but now I’m very disappointed and regretful.”
The Wusun Princess’s face turned pale with trembling, “You regret it? You’re disappointed?”
Yuwen You hesitated for a moment, but thinking of her crazy and boring behavior and the trouble she caused him, he coldly turned his head to the side, “Yes.”
The Wusun Princess let out a cold laugh, then suddenly jumped towards the gate of the Regent’s Mansion, intending to smash her head against the stone lion there. She couldn’t hold back this resentment, even if she really died here, she wanted Fu Mingzhu to follow her to h*ll! She wanted to see if Yuwen Chu, no matter how much he protected his wife, and Fu Mingzhu, no matter how eloquent she was, could silence the mouths of the world. Adulterer and adulteress, forcing her, the legal wife, to die here alive, anyone would curse three times and spit!
Liuli shouted, catching Yuwen You off guard. Before he could react, it was too late. So he was shocked and threatened the Wusun Princess in a panic, “Are you crazy? Stop right now!”
Just at this moment, someone opened the side gate of the Regent’s Mansion from inside. Zheng Momo walked out, and if she had acted a little faster, she could intercept the Wusun Princess. Yuwen You was overjoyed, “Quick, stop her! There’s a heavy reward for you!”
