Chapter 594 - Getting a Co-wife, the Night Talk in King Yans Manor (1/2)
“How stupid, Yue’e, who do you think I am? I won’t let you give up the position of my legal wife. Now you’re carrying our child. Do you want our baby to be a concubine’s child for the rest of his life? Do you want him to be looked down upon by the legal wife’s children in the future?” Feng Yulei was so angry that he stood up suddenly and slammed the table angrily.
You Yue’e looked up in shock, but then her heart ached even more. She stood up, holding the table and choked with sobs. What he said was all for her good and he did not want to hurt her child. How could she not understand his love for her? At this time, all he cared about was her, but she was still testing him just now.
“He was really doing this for me!”
You Yue’e walked over and stood in front of Feng Yulei. She reached out to hold Feng Yulei’s hand, but he shook it off angrily. Fortunately, he still cared about her and did not use much strength. When she reached out her hand again, this time, she touched his hand and held it firmly, refusing to let go no matter what. “Your Highness, I mean it. The child and I will not blame you… As long as… As long as you really care about us… I, I don’t feel wronged.”
She cried so hard that her words were choked. Tears fell to the ground one by one. She looked at Feng Yulei with tears in her eyes. She loved him deeply and felt painful in the heart. She really had no choice. Feng Yulei had been locked up for some time, but the Emperor had not shown any sign to release him until now. It seemed that he was going to lock up Feng Yulei till the end of his life, or leave Feng Yulei to the next Emperor after he died.
If he didn’t have the opportunity, she didn’t know whether Feng Yulei could get out of here or not.
Now that the Princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands came to visit, it was a good opportunity. If he married the Princess, the Emperor could not go too far for the sake of the Southern Barbarian Lands. At least, he had to release Feng Yulei. In the future, he would get the support of the Southern Barbarian Lands and Mingguo Manor. His mother in the palace and Ding General Manor could also do something for him. In fact, Feng Yulei had a good chance.
He was just short of an opportunity to be released.
And now that the opportunity had been presented, how could they not want it!
“Yue’e, don’t say anything else. I won’t agree. You are my wife. The child in your belly is my legitimate son. If I take the… this child is my successor. I can’t let him lose his position as legitimate son because of my selfishness.”
Feng Yulei’s face was full of pain. He looked up at You Yue’e and stretched out his unhurt hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. He comforted her softly as he wiped them away. “Don’t cry. You can’t cry when you’re pregnant. If our son finds out that his mother likes crying, how can you remain powerful in front of him in the future?”
After being comforted by Feng Yulei, You Yue’e cried even more bitterly. She threw herself into Feng Yulei’s arms and cried so hard that she could not speak. No woman was willing to give up her husband and become a concubine. If it weren’t for the fact that they had no way out, no one would be willing to do it.
“Your Highness, I really don’t care…” She said that she didn’t care, but she cried more hardly.
Feng Yulei sighed and reached out to push her away gently. He looked into her eyes and said seriously, “Yue’e, I won’t let you down, so you’d better not say that you want to give up the position of the legal wife. If the Princess of the Southern Barbarian likes me, I can marry her as a co-wife. If she wants to steal your position as the legal wife, she should not even think about it.”
This was a promise and a serious one. You Yue’e felt as if her heart was soaked in warm water and felt warm all over. She heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably, wiping the tears in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She felt that marrying Feng Yulei was the greatest happiness in her life. How could she not be moved when this man was still thinking about her when he was so tempted?
“Your Highness, you, you have been locked up in the manor. How can you make the Princess of the Southern Barbarian fall for you?” You Yue’e sniffed. Knowing that there was no need to give up the position of the legal wife, You Yue’e calmed down a lot. She held Feng Yulei’s hand and sat down again.
“I… Alas, I can’t go out. If you can go out and make the Princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands like me, maybe it is a solution. Your elder brother said the same thing to me just now, but I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn’t want to use this method. Now you are the only one in my heart. If someone wants in, I can’t take it.”
Feng Yulei smiled bitterly and looked at You Yue’e with love in his eyes, looking as if he had no idea what to do.
“Your Highness, I will go out to find my elder brother and ask him to help us think about how to take the Princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands into the manor. At that time, I will definitely hold a grand wedding ceremony for her. I will not let her lose face. Although she is a co-wife, if there is anything in the future when she enters the manor, for the sake of Your Highness, I will also humor her.”
You Yue’e said sincerely, but then she frowned, and asked, “Your Highness, you are locked up now, and so am I. Neither of us can go out. What should we do?”
“I can’t go out, but Yue’e, you can,” Feng Yulei uttered.
“What do you mean?” You Yue’e asked in surprise. She had been locked up in the manor for such a long time, and had already felt bored. She thought of the carefree days in the past, and sometimes she was particularly annoyed. Just like just now, it was not the first time for her to get angry with maidservants for no reason.
“Yue’e, do you still remember what His Majesty said when he asked you to return to the manor?” Feng Yulei reminded her.
What did he say? You Yue’e thought for a moment and immediately flew into a rage. “Clear Mo Xueqiong’s name?”
