Chapter 260 Zhu Yuhe Banquet Part III

Zhu Yuhe Room

"Representatives from the other three continents have arrived, Yuhe. Almost all of the guests have also arrived, and as we predicted before, Huo Jia and Shan Liu are absent." Zhou Xuan reminded Zhu Yuhe.

Zhu Yuhe herself had already finished getting ready a while ago, and she was just waiting for the time to start her banquet. "Since those two people rejected me openly, so I have to do something about them, but I will discuss with Tian first before making a decision."

Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement, although it was Zhu Yuhe who would be the Empress, but Xia Tian was their man, so it was only natural that she wanted to ask his opinion first. Moreover, he also had far more experience than them.

"Mom!"

p Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan turned their heads towards the entrance, and they smiled at the sight of Zhu Honglian who was running fast towards them. As soon as she arrived in front of them, Zhu Honglian immediately hugged her mother, and rubbed her face against her chest, as she had not seen her mother for a long time. "I really miss you, Mom!"

Zhu Yuhe hugged her daughter back, while gently caressing her back. "Did you just arrive, Honglian? And who did you come with?"

"Um, I came with Sect Master Ye and Xing'er, Mom."

"Are you comfortable in the Jade Pearl Sect, Honglian?"

"Everything went smoothly in the sect, I also learned a lot from the seniors there." Zhu Yuhe also felt relieved after hearing Zhu Honglian's words, then Zhu Honglian sulked sadly. "However, Xing'er still hates me a lot, Mom."

"Sigh, you also know the reason why she hates you, it doesn't seem easy to mend your relationship with her." Zhu Yuhe was in a dilemma about their relationship, on one hand Zhu Honglian was her daughter, on the other hand Xia Xing was also Xia Tian's woman like her.

"Oh? You guys gathered here?" Xia Tian who suddenly appeared startled them, especially Zhu Honglian who was shocked to see Xia Tian enter her mother's room without permission.

"What are you doing here, Xia Tian?" Zhu Honglian directly asked him with a frown.

"Nothing." Xia Tian himself did not expect that Zhu Honglian to be in Zhu Yuhe's room. "Anyway, we can start the banquet immediately, and we will use the plan we prepared beforehand." Then he walked out from the room.

Zhu Honglian saw Xia Tian's strangeness and decided to ask Zhu Yuhe. "Tell me the truth, Mom. Are you really in a relationship with Xia Tian?"

Zhu Yuhe's heart skipped a beat after Zhu Honglian asked that, then she turned to ask her daughter. "Why do you ask like that, Honglian?"

"Because the two of you are acting strange! Since when did Xia Tian dare to enter this bedroom? And I also smelled Xia Tian's scent on your body in the past, and it happened again and again!" Zhu Honglian shouted angrily, because her mother still didn't want to be honest with her.

"Honglian, mother-" Zhu Yuhe didn't know what to say to her daughter, and she could only stare at her apologetically.

"So it's true that you and Xia Tian have a love affair, huh?" Zhu Honglian's expression became extremely ugly, her heart shattered upon realizing the truth of her mother's relationship with Xia Tian, ??and tears began to fall from the sides of her eyes involuntarily. She then spoke while sobbing loudly. "Why? Why him, Mom? You already know that I still love him so much!"

Zhu Yuhe then hugged her daughter tightly. "I'm really sorry to you, Honglian. I never even thought about getting into a relationship with him before, and our relationship just happened to be unplanned."

"Yuhe didn't lie to you, Little Lian." Zhou Xuan finally tried to mediate between them, and she then told Zhu Honglian what was really going on with Zhu Yuhe back then. Because it was all Alice's doing, which made her keep thinking about Xia Tian. Zhu Honglian couldn't believe it, but then she remembered that Zhou Xuan could indeed recognize strange energies.

"Then what should I do, Mom? I still love him very much, Mom!" Zhu Honglian continued to sulk in Zhu Yuhe's arms. "If he didn't do that to me, then I wouldn't be mad at him, let alone cancel our engagement."

"Tell us, Honglian. What really happened between the two of you back then?" Until now Zhu Yuhe still didn't know the reason her daughter decided to call off her engagement with Xia Tian, ??and they always thought it was because Xia Tian couldn't cultivate, and he was also a debauchee.

"He... He slapped me in public, Mom! And he also wanted to sell me to a brothel, because he couldn't stand me bothering him every day, but I did that for his own good" Zhu Honglian replied with a grieve

Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan's eyes widened, they were really shocked by Zhu Honglian's confession, they really never imagined that Xia Tian would want to do that to her.

"Let's postpone it for now, since everyone is already waiting for us in the banquet hall, and we'll talk to Xia Tian about this later." Zhu Yuhe said as she wiped her daughter's tears.

But then Zhu Honglian turned to Zhou Xuan, and suspiciously asked. "Are you also Xia Tian's woman, Aunt Xuan? Because I can smell his scent on you too, and his scent is so strong."

Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan were stunned for a moment by her question, but then Zhou Xuan nodded to her. "I am indeed one of Xia Tian's women, Little Lian. Like your mother, I also never thought of becoming his woman in the first place."

"Then what made you decide to accept him, Aunt Xuan?" Zhu Honglian asked her impatiently, as she was too curious about their relationship.

Zhou Xuan rubbed Zhu Honglian's head. "That night, he acted so aggressively towards me, and kissed me forcefully, and it made me keep thinking about him. And after I thought about it for days, I decided to accept him as my man, Little Lian."

Zhu Honglian couldn't help but sigh softly at that, but she also felt happy for Zhou Xuan. Because she knew about Zhou Xuan's past, but she had now decided to leave her past behind, and stepped forward together with Xia Tian. She then asked again. "Actually, how many women does Xia Tian have now, Mom, Aunt Xuan?"

"Tian has twelve women including us Honglian." Zhu Yuhe chose to tell her daughter the truth, and Zhu Honglian's jaw dropped at that, as she was shocked that her mother and aunt were willing to share a husband with ten other women.

Zhu Yuhe then put her arm around her shoulders, and she pulled Zhu Honglian out with her. "If you really still love Tian, ??then you must be able to accept his polyamorous relationship first, otherwise he will never accept you, Honglian."

Zhu Honglian didn't say anything, and she just let herself be pulled by her mother out, as she pondered many things in her mind.
