“I can help you leave together.”

“But he’s not alone. He still has his parents and sisters in the residence. If he disappears with me, the Yu family won’t let his family off. If Your Highness can send away a servant, can you send their entire family away without anyone Imowing?”

“Besides, Your Highness should know that the Yu family helped the emperor because a daughter of the Yu family will take the title of the princess consort. If I leave, can Your Highness really ensure that you can convince the Yu family? Even if you convince them, can you be sure that the Yu family will sincerely help the emperor? Are you really going to bet on that?”

“What do you mean?”

She said, “Your Highness has someone you like, and so do I. Your Highness can’t marry the person you like, and I can’t marry the person I like. In that case, why don’t you marry me? After we get married, we’ll live our own lives and not interfere with each other.”

Her words tempted Xuanyuan Ce. He thought of his mother kneeling in front of him and begging, as well as his brother who was doing his best to protect him.

If he was careless, one false move might lose the game. He could not afford to gamble.

He asked uncertainly, “Are you really not interested in me?”

“Jiang Tao,” Madam Yu said. “His name is Jiang Tao. If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can investigate.”

Xuanyuan Ce went to investigate. Just as Madam Yu had said, in the few years that she was abandoned by her family clan, Madam Yu was often bullied. It was this man called Jiang Tao who helped many times. The two of them usually interacted very closely. As time passed, it was not impossible for them to develop feelings for each other.

Shen Yijia frowned. “Then why did she ask MO Yu to help her kill Jiang Tao?”

The last word Madam Yu said was “kill.”

“Also, which of her words is true?”

Xuanyuan Ce pursed his lips. “She wanted to kill Jiang Tao because it was very likely that Jiang Tao was Xuanyuan Ye’s biological father. Back then, when I was seriously ill, Mother ordered her to take care of me. She even said that if she couldn’t leave me a son or a daughter, she would have to die with me.

Perhaps she was afraid that I would really die, so…”

However, he had already stepped into the gates of hell. How could he have

consummated his marriage with her?

It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but not long after Madam Yu gave birth to Xuanyuan Ye, his illness inexplicably recovered.

He knew that this was another reason why his brother and mother doted on Xuanyuan Ye.

Because of the agreement to not interfere with each other back then, he had never thought of catching the Yu family off guard.

The reason why he asked Xuanyuan Ziming to investigate Jiang Tao was because Jiang Tao was already the Yu family’s butler.

If Madam Yu wanted to do anything, she would definitely ask him for help.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Even a storybook wouldn’t dare to write it like this, right?”

She didn’t know whether to sympathize or laugh.

She suddenly felt that the top of Xuanyuan Ce’s head was glowing.

It was so green that it glowed.

Song Jingchen didn’t expect to hear such a secret. This was ridiculous.

“As for which of her words are true and which are false… I don’t know either.”

Before today, he had never thought that Madam Yu was lying about liking Jiang Tao.

Thinking of something, Song Jingchen suddenly asked, “Then why didn’t you explain it to Mother-in-law back then?”

Shen Yijia nodded.

She didn’t like it when people kept secrets from her, so she would tell her beautiful husband everything.

Of course, doing bad things was an exception.

“When my brother proposed this marriage, Ah Luo happened to not be in Phoenix City. She told me that she was going home for a while and would only return in at least two months.”

Xuanyuan Ce smiled bitterly. “For some reason, she came back a month early and happened to be on the day I married Madam Yu.”

Ji Luo suddenly appeared in the wedding hall. Not only the Yu family, but all the civil and military officials of the Xuanyuan Kingdom were present. If he took her away without a care, it would be equivalent to slapping the Yu family’s face.

What would the Yu family do?

Moreover, the Yu family knew of her existence. If he was not decisive, the Yu family would definitely not let her off, so he had no choice.

“Xuanyuan Ce, are you really going to marry this woman?”

“Didn’t you see it? Since you’re here, why don’t you sit down and participate in the wedding banquet? On account of our past relationship, I’ll get the princess consort to find a day to bring you…”

A slap sounded loudly.

She left, but she ran back not long after. Before he entered the bridal chamber, she asked him again.

“Xuanyuan Ce, do you really want to enter that bridal chamber?”

“If I’m not wrong, Mother-in-law came back early because she realized that she was pregnant.”

Ji Luo grew up in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets and did not understand the restrictions of etiquette in the secular world.

It was just like how she could drag Xuanyuan Ce away with a handful of knockout powder if she wanted to save him.

She fell in love with him. After confirming that Xuanyuan Ce liked her, she slept with him.

“I only found out later that she was pregnant at that time. Now that I think about it, Ah Luo didn’t poison me to death. She’s really too kind.”

She rushed back happily to share the good news of her pregnancy with him, but she saw that his new wife was beside him at a wedding banquet.

No one could accept such a thing, let alone Ji Luo, who could not tolerate anything.

When she said, “He’ll regret it.” He did regret it. He regretted it all the time.

Thinking of what Ji Luo had faced back then, Shen Yijia’s heart ached.

She didn’t know what empathy was.

However, just thinking about the day she left for a period of time and brought back delicious food for her beautiful husband while he was getting married to someone else made her feel very uncomfortable.

How painful would it be for Ji Luo, who had experienced everything and was involved?

Xuanyuan Ce was right about one thing. Her mother was too kind.

If it were her, not only would she poison Xuanyuan Ce, but she would also poison everyone present.

The candlelight flickered. For a moment, no one in the study spoke. The black shadow outside the window had left. The situation back then was…

You Yi stood guard outside.

Sensing that someone was coming, he went in to remind Xuanyuan Ce.

Coincidentally, she heard Xuanyuan Ce say, “I’ll only give you the position of princess consort.”

Madam Yu nodded. “1 know..”
