Chapter 133 So You Were Cuckolded
Chapter 133 So You Were Cuckolded
Pu Yangxuan's mind wandered, and the base of his neck turned slightly red. The small kitchen was dimly lit, and Yang Jianwu didn't notice Pu Yangxuan's embarrassment. Dare to shut her up? She'd bite him to death!
With a snap, Puyang Xuan immediately withdrew his hand, but then regretted it. Even if Jian Wu bit hard, how badly could she bite? What if she bit too hard? Maybe she'd feel guilty and that would be better for him…
Why won't you let me speak?
"I know what you're going to say. You're a germaphobe. Even if it weren't Mo Ye, you wouldn't have chosen me..."
Puyang Xuan wished he could tear those old guys to pieces. If it weren't for their arrangements, he wouldn't have been turned away by Jianwu because of this!
"I see, you understand." Yang Jianwu continued eating her porridge with pickled vegetables.
"But Sword Dance... It's my freedom to like you, and you can't stop me... Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. Let's just stay as we are now. I want to stay by your side!"
Puyang Xuan pondered in his heart: Yao Ji and Meng Ji were dead, and he had received a letter from Yuan Song a few days ago. Ming Ji had been having an affair and had been diagnosed with pregnancy. He was just waiting for the truth to come out so he could deal with her. Once all the women around him were cleared out, he could explain things to Jian Wu...
“Puyang Xuan, I’ve told you before, it’s great that we’re friends. I feel no pressure around you. But if our relationship changes, it might not be the same as it is now…”
"I'm sorry, Sword Dance, I know some things can't be changed..."
“Puyang Xuan, you don’t need to say anything, it has nothing to do with you… I know my requirements are too harsh. It’s very normal for men between the ages of 13 and 17 to have concubines or maids in their families. It’s just that I personally can’t accept it…”
Stirring the porridge a few times, he continued, "I thought I could influence the people around me and make them think like me, but today I really see clearly that some ideas are deeply rooted, and the influence I bring will only ever be superficial."
"Do you know Qingdai? She's one of my maids. She's in poor health and we've always protected her, but she fell in love with Jingnan at first sight. Even though she knew he had family connections, she still chose to be with him. Before coming to the capital, I received news that she was pregnant. I had a few others escort her back to Anshun so my mother could handle it. I couldn't bear it and didn't know how to resolve it."
"And then there's my father. When Mo Ye and Mo Yu came to Anshun together, I dined with them. My father didn't say anything to me then, probably because Mo Yu invited me to eat with them. Today, Mo Ye came alone, and he didn't suggest eating with us. But my father, being respectful, reminded me that 'the Prince of Ning is here.' Their actions have made me realize that many things won't change because of me!"
"So you don't need to apologize. You're just walking the path that most people go through. Mo Ye isn't as lucky as you in this respect; no one is making arrangements for him."
Puyang Xuan felt he could finally get a word in edgewise, "Jianwu, so you... don't care about my past? I'll clean up the palace as soon as possible!"
Yang Jianwu thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Puyang Xuan, to get something and then throw it away is irresponsible! How are those women supposed to live? They did nothing wrong, they just became victims..."
Having said all that today, Puyang Xuan felt that if he didn't make everything clear today, Jianwu would still only consider him a friend!
"Sword Dance, there are some things I need to tell you, whether you want to hear them or not, I have to let you know!"
Yang Jianwu muttered under her breath, "How can he be so domineering..."
“Sword Dance, I have had three maids in the Sha Sect. Two were arranged by Elder Luo, namely Yao Ji and Meng Ji, as you know. Yao Ji died after being poisoned by ‘Lover’s Tears’, and Meng Ji couldn’t withstand the torture and couldn’t hold on after confessing. The other one was sent by Elder Lian to serve me while I was drunk. Her name is Ming Ji, and she is now pregnant.”
Just as Yang Jianwu was about to express her surprise and widen her eyes, Puyang Xuan explained even faster, "But don't worry, the child isn't mine, it's Elder Lian's! Yuan Song has been secretly sending people to monitor her, and Mingji's pregnancy can't be hidden. It will be dealt with soon. So the palace will be clean soon."
"Oh~" Yang Jianwu looked at Puyang Xuan with a sympathetic gaze, poor kid, "So you got cheated on!"
Puyang Xuan felt like vomiting blood. The main issue was: had he been cuckolded?!
"Sword Dance, the important thing now is that I didn't use any improper methods to deal with them! They brought it on themselves!"
Yang Jianwu nodded. "So?"
"So give me a chance to love you! Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you. You'll always be free by my side, without any false constraints."
Yang Jianwu lowered her head and ate her porridge in silence, her heart fluttering with anticipation. What should she do... was she being too rational when it came to relationships?
Mo Ye has never said he loves me, should I seriously consider it? Pu Yangxuan is alright except for having had women before, maybe I should observe him some more?
Puyang Xuan didn't know what Yang Jianwu was thinking. Anyway, he had already said it. If it had a good result, everyone would be happy. If it didn't work, then he would try again!
"Sword Dance, if your uncle scolds you again, I'll scold him back for you!"
Yang Jianwu glared at Puyang Xuan, reached out and twisted his ear, "That's my father, you dare to yell at him and see what happens!"
Puyang Xuan smiled ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes, that's my uncle, you can't be rude to him."
He tilted his head and leaned closer to Yang Jianwu, "Jianwu, does that mean you agree?"
Yang Jianwu looked at him with some disgust and pushed his head back. "Let's talk about it later. I understand, but I still care a lot. Maybe one day I'll figure it out. If you're still single and I'm still single by then, we can give it another try!"
Puyang Xuan jumped up with joy, "Haha~ Sword Dance, you said it yourself, no take-backs!!"
"Yes, I won't go back on my word!"
Let's draw up a written agreement!
Puyang Xuan said he was going to find paper and pen.
"is it necessary?"
"It's absolutely necessary! What if you change your mind again? Who can I complain to? A written agreement is evidence. If you change your mind, I can go to your aunt and complain..."
"You're something else, aren't you? You even know to complain to my mother, wanting her to deal with me again? Don't forget, I haven't settled the score with you for playing the victim last time! Picking an osmanthus flower hurts so much, how come I haven't spoiled you rotten!"
"How can I complain? I need to seek justice! Seek justice! My aunt is just worried about me."
……
The two chatted away, filling the small kitchen with laughter.
Yang Jianwu didn't know how she finished the porridge. Maybe the vegetables were too salty, so she couldn't taste the slightly burnt flavor of the porridge; maybe she made the porridge with such care that she couldn't bear to waste it... In any case, she drank all the porridge.
