Long Rui looked at her in disbelief: "Really, my dear wife? You used up every bit of and now you’re not admitting it? That’s not fair! My chastity is all but destroyed in your hands—you have to take responsibility for it!"
"You... What are you talking about? I don’t... I don’t understand a word you’re saying!"
Seeing Xuexue still playing dumb, Long Rui decided to lay it all out: "My dear wife, the first ti we were in the small grove, I gave up my virginity to you. Have you forgotten? Hmm?"
"Boom."
Xuexue’s mind went completely blank at that mont. She thought to herself, "It’s over. He really knows."
Originally, she was already nestled in Long Rui’s embrace.
At this mont, she buried her head even deeper into his chest.
Mostly because she felt utterly mortified.
"My dear wife?" Long Rui shook her gently: "Aren’t you going to give an explanation?"
With no other choice, Xuexue mumbled unhappily, "At that ti, I was hard by Auntie Sun and had aphrodisiac poisoning. It was beyond my control."
"My dear wife, you don’t have to be upset. I’ll find ti to chop her up for you."
"No need."
Xuexue shook her head. Aunt Sun was now confined in a brothel, living a life worse than death.
"Anyone who dares harm my wife will never escape my wrath."
As soon as Long Rui finished speaking, suddenly, Xuexue shoved him away forcefully from her embrace.
"Stop calling ’wife’ at every turn, and ’your husband’ with every breath! Why does hearing this annoy so much?"
Xuexue’s expression imdiately hardened. Long Rui froze for a mont.
"What’s wrong? Weren’t things always good between us before?"
"Before was before. Now is now."
"What’s so different?"
"Of course there’s a difference. Before, you were just a common man. Now, you’re the exalted War Prince."
"Aren’t you the Eldest Legitimate Daughter of the General’s Mansion? Our statuses match well."
"Match well? You already have a Princess Consort of War Prince."
"Didn’t I explain it to you? That’s nothing but a temporary asure."
"Regardless of how temporary it is, she’s still the rightful Princess Consort of War Prince. What, are you planning to make your concubine?"
"Is the matter of title really sothing you care about so much?"
"Of course! What woman wouldn’t care?"
"Fine. Tomorrow, I’ll ask the Emperor to rescind the decree and depose that Princess Consort of War Prince."
With that, Long Rui turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized this was an enclosed space. Without Xuexue to lead the way, he couldn’t exit.
He had no choice but to stop and turn back: "I need to head back."
"Go ahead. No need to inform ."
Long Rui looked at her helplessly, his tone turning pitiable: "My dear wife, without your secret code, how am I supposed to leave?"
"Oh!"
Only then did Xuexue rember.
She led him out of the space and back to the room.
"My dear wife, it’s late. You should rest first." Long Rui reached out to tuck her in carefully.
"Hmm!"
Once he left the room, Xuexue lay back down on the bed.
After tidying everything up, Long Rui stepped out, preparing to leave.
"Wait a mont." Just as Xuexue closed her eyes ready to sleep, she suddenly called out to him.
"Is there sothing else?"
Long Rui halted, turning around and asked.
"Are you really going to request an edict from the Emperor tomorrow?"
"Of course I am. When have I ever lied to you?"
"The Emperor has always been displeased with you. If you confront him at a ti like this, it might put the War Prince’s Mansion at a disadvantage. Let’s discuss this another ti."
"My tension with the Emperor has always existed. This wouldn’t make a difference."
"That may be true, but you need to understand that you can’t touch a tiger’s tail recklessly. Think about it, since the Emperor issued the marriage decree, the whole of Moli Country knows. If you openly challenge him, it would make him a laughingstock to the world. Would the Emperor not bear resentnt?"
