Chapter 949: Chapter 949: The Stand-in Empress vs. the True Love Concubine (Part 14)
Yun Qi believed he had spoken quite plainly.
“Now that I am married, Rou… Zhaohua is a good wife. I will respect and cherish her in the days to come. Those things from the past were my youthful recklessness, and I owe you an apology.” Yun Qi hesitated for a moment, but still took the blame for the previous Crown Prince Yun Qi.
He earnestly said to Lu Xi, “You are also a noble young lady, and you should find a husband who dotes on you and protects you.”
He spoke these words from the bottom of his heart. To Yun Qi, he simply could not comprehend those girls who rushed to become concubines for others.
Da Lie placed great importance on distinguishing between the main wife and concubines, with a concubine’s status only slightly higher than that of a servant.
Even if you marry into the Imperial Family, you have a title, but no matter how esteemed your status, if you are not the Main Consort, no matter how respectable, in the eyes of true nobility, you are still just a concubine.
Lu Xi widened her eyes at Yun Qi, as if trying hard to discern any trace of a joke on Yun Qi’s face.
But there was nothing.
The other person’s expression was serious, with no signs of pretense.
He truly wanted to sever ties with her.
Lu Xi finally cried out loud, and this time, unlike the previously feigned pitiful appearance, it was complete breakdown crying.
“No, it’s not like that. Brother Yun Qi, you clearly liked me so much. You even said you would marry me as a concubine. You don’t love that bitch Su Chaohua, you said it was just an act with her, and you would dispose of her later. I don’t believe…”
Yun Qi’s face darkened.
Originally seeing Lu Xi like this, he felt some pity in his heart. It seemed that this Miss Lu was genuinely sincere towards Yun Qi.
But upon hearing the latter part, that slight sense of pity was completely replaced by anger.
Who gave this woman the courage to speak about his Rou Rou in such a manner?
Indeed, President Yun has a flaw, which is being protective!
Anyone he acknowledges is someone shielded under his wings.
Not to mention his own wife.
In Yun Qi’s mind, his little wife is absolutely flawless, and he will not tolerate others speaking ill of her.
This Lu Xi calling her a bitch over and over again is blatantly provoking his bottom line.
Yun Qi immediately said unceremoniously, “Miss Lu, offending the Imperial Family is a serious crime. This time, I will consider that Miss Lu spoke out of confusion, and I do not wish to hear such words a second time, or else, the consequences would definitely not be what Miss Lu would want to see.”
Feeling that he had said all that needed to be said, he flicked his sleeve and stood up to leave: “By the way, Miss Lu mustn’t forget what the Crown Princess said.”
Ying Fu, from afar, didn’t know what happened between the two in the pavilion, only that they maintained a reasonably safe distance with no intimate behaviors, which sparked some speculation in his mind.
At this moment, he watched as his master walked out, leaving Miss Lu seemingly crying alone in the pavilion.
Is it… over?
Moreover, judging by the situation, it seemed rather unpleasant.
Ying Fu was shocked. As Yun Qi’s confidant, he knew the position this Miss Lu once held in the Crown Prince’s heart.
It could be said that if not for the Prophecy of the born Phoenix fate on the Crown Princess Consort, and given both families’ equal status, according to the Crown Prince’s intention, this Crown Princess Consort might have been someone else.
Yet, the Crown Princess Consort married into the Eastern Palace less than a day and made the Crown Prince voluntarily cut ties with Miss Lu.
This level of capability is truly admirable.
