Chapter 227 I don't want you anymore, get out!

Princess Ning looked at Shen Wantang in shock. She never expected that Shen Wantang would use such an example to leave her son speechless!

She practically wanted to applaud and cheer for Shen Wantang!

This child has a really quick mind!

"Yes! Tang'er is absolutely right! No matter the reason, if Qingxi doesn't want to, it won't work!"

Princess Ning finally felt a little better. She pointed at Huo Yunzhou and said, "You broke your promise to Qingxi in order to fulfill the promise you made to the Lin brothers. You are not a gentleman! Either you don't promise Qingxi that you will never take a concubine, and you should keep your promise! Or you should take a concubine and divorce Qingxi!"

“My daughter is a princess, what kind of good man can’t she find in the world? She has had whatever she wanted since she was a child, and she has never asked to share anything with anyone else!”

"Men are the same. My daughter doesn't need to share her husband with other women! If you want to take a concubine and make her suffer this injustice, I'll be the first to object!"

"You are a traitor, despicable and disloyal. Get out of here and never set foot in my Prince Ning's mansion again!"

Huo Yunzhou's face turned pale.

He knew before he came that things wouldn't go smoothly, and he was mentally prepared for it.

But he didn't expect things to go so badly.

He couldn't help but look at Shen Wantang. This Crown Princess was indeed capable. With just a few words, she not only brought back Xiao Qingyuan, whom he had finally managed to win over, but also made Princess Ning even more determined and imposing.

He suddenly realized he had made a mistake in befriending the wrong person; he should have befriended Shen Wantang instead.

Unfortunately, he had just returned to Beijing and was meeting her for the first time today, so he didn't know how capable she was.

Even though Xiao Qingyuan had a very unpleasant falling out with this Crown Princess as soon as he returned, this Crown Princess still sided with her, which Huo Yunzhou found hard to understand.

Soon, he was kicked out of Princess Ning's courtyard.

He stood outside, letting out a long sigh.

Why is it so difficult for him to take a concubine? Didn't Xiao Qingyuan also take a concubine? His wife didn't say anything, so why is it different for him?

He suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Xiao Qingyuan and his princess consort coming out together.

"Yunzhou, why haven't you left yet?"

Huo Yunzhou hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Wantang, and then said, "I want to see Qingxi again."

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head: "She hates you to death now, she probably won't see you."

"No matter how much she hates me, I have to see her. Things have to be resolved eventually. I am the one who wronged her in this matter, and it is only right that I apologize and admit my mistake."

"Let's go then, I'll take you to see her. But let's make this clear first, if Qingxi still wants a divorce, I won't help you. I almost got beaten up by my mother just now for speaking up for you."

Huo Yunzhou replied in a hoarse voice, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Xiao Qingyuan waved his hand and led him forward.

After walking for a while, he noticed that Shen Wantang had followed them. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy: "What are you doing here? Aren't you going back to your own courtyard? Qingxi doesn't like you. What if you go to her courtyard and you two start arguing again? Whose side should I take then?"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Mother told me to keep an eye on the princess. The young master has already taken Young Master Huo to the princess's courtyard. If I don't go and keep an eye on things, what will I say to Mother if the princess gets angry?"

"Fine, go if you want. Qingxi might not even have time to scold you today."

Huo Yunzhou was clearly the sitting duck.

Soon, the three of them entered Xiao Qingxi's courtyard together.

Upon seeing them, Xiao Qingxi sneered, "Why are all three of you so annoying? What, you think there's strength in numbers and you want to annoy me to death? I'll just refuse to die and make you all furious!"

Huo Yunzhou smiled wryly and bowed slightly to Xiao Qingyuan and Shen Wantang: "Please, Your Highness and Princess Consort, step aside for a moment. I would like to speak with Qingxi alone for a few minutes."

Just as Xiao Qingyuan and Shen Wantang were about to leave the room, they heard Xiao Qingxi say, "Huo Yunzhou, who wants to talk to you alone? How come you only know how to talk to me alone now that you're back in the capital? Why didn't you talk to me alone when we were in the Northwest? Why do you take Lin Rouxin with you everywhere you go?"

"Qingxi..."

"No one is allowed to leave today! Xiao Qingyuan, Shen Wantang, you two stay here and listen! Why can Lin Rouxin listen to everything, but the people of my Ning Prince's Mansion can't? Listen, they must listen! Granny Kang, bring everyone here, they all need to listen!"

Of course, Granny Kang couldn't call everyone over to listen, as that would damage the princess's reputation. Besides, she knew that the princess was just saying things out of anger.

For the past two months, Huo Yunzhou took Lin Rouxin with him wherever he went. Xiao Qingxi didn't even have a chance to speak with Huo Yunzhou alone, because even at night, Lin Rouxin couldn't sleep because she was afraid of the dark and needed Huo Yunzhou to stay with her.

Xiao Qingxi had a bellyful of grievances with nowhere to vent them, and now she finally found an outlet.

However, Xiao Qingyuan and Shen Wantang did not leave. Xiao Qingyuan still cared about his sister, and since she said not to leave, he naturally wouldn't.

As for Shen Wantang, she was genuinely helping Princess Ning take care of Xiao Qingxi. Later, she would need to tell the Princess everything that had happened here.

When Xiao Qingxi saw that the two of them really didn't listen to Huo Yunzhou and leave, but instead listened to her and stayed with her, her eyes instantly reddened.

It's definitely better to be at home. Although her brother is unreliable and her sister-in-law doesn't seem like a good person, they still stand by her side when it comes to outsiders!

She laughed, her laughter thick with a nasal tone: "Very well, now I have an audience, Huo Yunzhou. What do you want to say? Speak, and then get out of here! Don't dirty the floor tiles of my Ning Prince's Mansion!"

Huo Yunzhou sighed. He didn't care about the others present at this moment. He could only say, "Qingxi, it was wrong of me to take a concubine. I apologize to you. I broke my promise. But I hope you can understand me. I really can't leave Rouxin alone."

"I'm begging you, please give Rouxin a way to live, okay? She has nothing left, she only has me. If I don't want her, how will she survive?"

"Can you really bear to watch her go to the Jixin Nunnery to become a nun, and then wither away there all alone?"

Xiao Qingxi's already red eyes became even redder, and tears welled up in them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"Ha, she has nothing left, all she has is you? Huo Yunzhou, when did you become hers? We haven't even divorced yet, you're mine!"

"Yes, I'm yours, so please don't ask me for a divorce, okay? Come back to the Huo family with me. What can't we discuss between husband and wife?"

"If you want to take other women into the family, then this is not negotiable!"

Xiao Qingxi looked coldly at Huo Yunzhou: "Oh, I don't want you anymore. You belong to Lin Rouxin now. Get lost!"
