The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 81

"You should know bendian's intention. Don't think of deceiving bendian or glossing over the matter." Zhong Zheng Lin was too familiar with her usual tactics. Hence, he directly cut off her escape routes.

"Your Highness." Mu Xi Yao's brows knitted into a frown as she watched Zhong Zheng Lin's overbearing act. Did this man plan to get into the heart of the matter? Since it was necessary to make herself clear, Mu Xi Yao was unafraid of his mightiness.

"Since your Highness is going to be happily married with principal consort, qie naturally will watch over qies's favor and keep to qie's role. In the future, the principal consort will govern the estate. Qie ought to respect her and be even more respectful to your Highness and other princes."

The premise was He Lian Min Min would be sensible and tactful. However, according to that woman's character... Mu Xi Yao shook her head, having no optimistic expectancy from her.

Zhong Zheng Lin understood her meaning. If he touched He Lian Min Min, they could still get on well, but there won't be any further progress.

Zhong Zheng Lin was so angered by her his face turned livid. He grabbed tightly her wrists and put her forward against his chest, holding her there tenaciously. "What use has your respect to bendian?" He has enjoyed the world revering him since he's been born. As a result, would he still need the tiniest bit of Mu Xi Yao's particular respect?

Mu Xi Yao looked at him aggrievedly and hesitantly said, "Then qie is a scaredy-cat, can it be?" What was wrong with her unwilling to be the moth that flies into the flame. Didn't he see that numerous women were annihilated by him? She's been only watching over her tiny piece of land and enjoying herself. Who told him to look for misery?

"Scaredy-cat? Bendian thinks you're audacious to the extreme!" When Zhong Zheng Lin connected events that happened in the past and now, suddenly, all the clouds have dispelled and he could see the sun. Everything seemed to be clear.

This woman planned to settle for the second-best and putting up with it "since there was no better option". Sharing a husband with others wasn't something she wished for. However, without any other choices, she could only take a step backward and accommodate to circumstances.

No wonder that until now she always kept a distance from him. The root of the problem was actually here.

Zhong Zheng Lin's chest rose and fell in anger. Apparently, he was in fury, "Grace is easier to ask for than a sincere heart?"

Mu Xi Yao was surprised by Zhong Zheng Lin's nimble thinking. A hint was all that he needed.

"Qie can obediently rely on your Highness. Isn't that good enough?" Mu Xi Yao sounded him out.

"Darn good." Zhong Zheng Lin could finally understand. This woman truly had no greed. For the sake of an easy and comfortable life, she has cut off the unrealistic pipe dreams a long time ago.

What enraged Zhong Zheng Lin the most was that Mu Xi Yao gave it all up without any hesitation. Damn her clear view. And he was unable to accept this nor let himself feel aggrieved. Coming all the way to this point, he already could not bear himself to let go.

As he watched Mu Xi Yao look at him pitifully, Zhong Zheng Lin could only stifle his anger.

He closed his eyes to contemplate for a long time. Shortly afterward, Zhong Zheng Lin snorted with laughter. Did she want to have tranquil days? It, too, depended on whether he was willing or not. To Mu Xi Yao, those insignificant women were actually worth her indifference toward his repeated demands? He, Zhong Zheng Lin, even dared to scheme all under the Heaven. What were one or two rules?
