Chapter 60 Shen Wantang, aren't you angry?

Chu Yanlu shook her head desperately: "No, that's not it! Qingyuan, you've misunderstood me. You're so good to me, how could I be with another man? You're all I see and feel, only you! Last night, I was drugged and drunk, I was powerless to resist!"

After being hit on the head by her, Xiao Qingyuan's IQ rose sharply: "One minute you say you were threatened, the next you say you were drugged. Which one is your real reason?"

"I……"

"You haven't figured out how to write this yet, right? That's okay, you have all night to think about it."

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that his voice changed tone. He shouted, "Granny Chai! Drag this shameless woman out and lock her in the woodshed!"

Granny Chai entered in response and reached out to pull Chu Yanluo away.

But Chu Yanluo clung tightly to Xiao Qingyuan's leg, crying out, "Your Highness, you can't treat me like this! I've been hurt, you should be seeking justice for me, why are you joining others in bullying me? Have you become like all the other men in this world, only looking at the surface of things and not the essence of the problem?"

Xiao Qingyuan bent down and pried her fingers apart one by one, his voice squeezed out through clenched teeth: "What's the real issue? Did you betray me? Or were you too happy sleeping with Yuan Zheng, so you woke up this morning looking so satisfied? No wonder you look so good today, you had some fun last night! You disgust me!"

Chu Yanluo was in a state of utter panic; she never expected things to turn out this way!

In her previous life, she had many affairs with Yuan Zheng, but Xiao Qingyuan never found out. It wasn't that people around him hadn't tried to warn him, but he trusted her wholeheartedly and wouldn't listen to anyone else.

Why has this life changed?!

Shen Wantang!

Yes, it's all that damned Shen Wantang's fault!

She screamed, "Your Highness, this was all a scheme orchestrated by Shen Wantang! Her goal was to drive me out of the manor. She's jealous that I have all your love, so she set this trap! Your Highness, please don't fall for it!"

A hint of mockery appeared on Xiao Qingyuan's handsome face, and tears welled up in his eyes. His voice became hoarse: "In such a short time, you've already made up three lies to deceive me. How many lies have you made up in the long past?"

"I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth! You know how proud I am, I would never stoop to lying!"

"Okay, then tell me, whose child was it before?"

Chu Yanluo's pupils suddenly contracted. He began to suspect that the child was also Yuan Zheng's.

However, after spending so much time together, she had already learned how to manipulate Xiao Qingyuan.

Her face was filled with disbelief, shock, anger, and pain as she said, "Your Highness, I don't know whose child it is. Didn't I tell you this already? I was drugged and forced. I'm the victim!"

"You're not going to tell me, are you?"

Xiao Qingyuan took a step back, looking down at Chu Yanluo: "Then I'll keep her locked up until she talks! Granny, take her away!"

Granny Chai was very strong, and even though Chu Yanluo struggled desperately, she still managed to drag her away.

The room fell silent.

After a long while, Shen Wantang finally saw Xiao Qingyuan come out of the inner room.

His eyes were very red, with tears still clinging to the corners, which, combined with his stunningly beautiful face, created a poignant and tragic beauty.

He was indeed born with a handsome face, no wonder he was voted the most handsome man in Dafeng by the women in the capital. Every woman who saw him fell in love with him and tried to create chance encounters with him, hoping to marry him and grow old with him.

She was looking at Xiao Qingyuan, and Xiao Qingyuan was looking at her.

He recalled the insults he had just hurled at her, and his arrogant words about divorcing her and marrying Chu Yanluo, and felt a burning pain in his face.

The words of apology lingered in his chest for a long time before he finally managed to say with difficulty, "I'm sorry, Shen Wantang, I misunderstood you again."

How many times has this happened?

He can hardly remember anymore.

However, Shen Wantang remained calm and composed as always. When he scolded her, she did not retaliate or argue. When he apologized, she was neither arrogant nor did she kick him when he was down.

He heard her say in a gentle voice, "It's good that things have been clarified. Your Highness hasn't had dinner yet, has he? I've asked the kitchen to prepare some food for you, and it will be sent to your courtyard later. You've had a long day, so go back and get some rest!"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He hadn't expected her to be so calm, and he certainly hadn't expected her to have someone prepare dinner for him.

He thought he would be ridiculed by her, that she would feel wronged, or that she would be happy and triumphant because she had caught Chu Yanluo in such a big way.

But there was nothing, absolutely nothing.

She aroused his intense curiosity: "Shen Wantang, aren't you angry?"

When someone throws you a question you don't want to answer, you shouldn't force yourself to answer it, nor should you evade the question by saying something else. Instead, you should throw the question back at the person who asked it.

Shen Wantang looked into Xiao Qingyuan's eyes and asked him, "Does Your Highness think I should be angry?"

"this……"

Xiao Qingyuan didn't know how to answer her question. Just a quarter of an hour ago, he had scolded her for not having the right to touch his woman and even wanted to divorce her. According to him, Shen Wantang didn't even have the right to be angry.

However, she was actually the woman he had formally married. Even though he hadn't lifted her veil or consummated the marriage with her, she was already the recognized heir apparent in the royal palace.

She has the right to be angry, and she has the right to control any woman he brings home.

He shook his head and didn't say anything more.

He was too weak to speak anymore. With a broken heart, he walked out with an overwhelming sense of heaviness.

After stepping out of the house, he couldn't help but turn back to look at his Crown Princess.

In the lamplight, she wore a bright peach-pink dress, her long hair was tied up high, and her fair and delicate face had a stunningly beautiful appearance.

For the first time, he felt that peach pink wasn't so tacky after all. At least, the color didn't look tacky on Shen Wantang. She carried it off well, giving her a graceful and elegant beauty.

Just like her name suggests, she is like a crabapple blossoming peacefully, dignified and elegant, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

Xiao Qingyuan noticed the change in his attitude towards her. He frowned slightly, then looked away and left.

As soon as he left, Qin Xin hurriedly said to Shen Wantang, "Princess Consort, what a great opportunity that was! Why didn't you stop the Prince?"

Shen Wantang walked to the door, looked at the night sky and said, "Hmm, it's going to rain."
