Chapter 165 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (32)

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Lingxiao, who was standing beside him, felt his vision suddenly go dark.

His face turned ashen in an instant, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white. He stared at Qing Wu, then looked at Huo Tingye, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

The corners of Huo Tingye's mouth curled up slightly, he was very proud and satisfied, having received Qingwu's consent in front of the contender -

Naturally more refreshing.

This feeling of joy far exceeded all the moments of victory he had experienced before.

Huo Tingye sighed inwardly, and involuntarily turned his body slightly to protect the beauty beside him more tightly. He held her hand, and their ten fingers slowly intertwined and tightly clasped.

At this moment, their hands were tightly connected, like a pair made in heaven.

Huo Tingye's action was clearly an undisguised declaration of his sovereignty over Qingwu to Xia Lingxiao opposite him.

"So, Your Highness should be satisfied now, right? It's unlikely that Your Highness would even disobey His Majesty's order, would you?"

Huo Tingye's gaze went straight to Xia Lingxiao. He didn't know how Xia Lingxiao appeared in this situation, and he also coveted his Qingwu.

At this moment, the look in the eyes of this aloof and proud prince was as if someone had robbed him of what originally belonged to him and cheated on him.

But - he knew that Qingwu was a rare treasure, and it was natural for someone to covet her.

Even though Xia Lingxiao is an extremely powerful and equally matched opponent.

This will not make him want to back down.

Fortunately, he was the one who finally won the treasure.

On this side, Huo Tingye's heart was as if wrapped in blazing hot magma, burning intensely;

However, on the other side, Xia Lingxiao was in a completely opposite state.

He felt like he had fallen into a freezing ice cellar, shivering all over.

His mind was filled with all kinds of crazy and terrifying thoughts, making it almost impossible for him to think.

Later on, Xia Lingxiao calmed down.

Looking at the two people who were so in tune with each other, as if they could no longer tolerate anyone else, Xia Lingxiao sneered.

"Huo Tingye, don't regret it."

Facing Xia Lingxiao's warning, Huo Tingye faced him directly and refused to give in.

Everyone present knew that after this battle, the once deep brotherhood between the two men had completely vanished.

From now on, they are no longer brothers, but king and subject.

Finally, Xia Lingxiao's tone became unusually calm, almost to the point of being eerie.

But his eyes were always fixed like a hawk on the pitiful and delicate beauty standing behind Huo Tingye.

Awu, I hope you don’t regret it either.

How can the identity of a general's wife be compared with that of a queen?

After hearing what Xia Lingxiao said, Qing Wu raised her head tremblingly and glanced at him secretly.

But just this quick glance made her instantly frightened by the almost crazy look in Xia Lingxiao's eyes. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and dared not look at him again.

This made Xia Lingxiao look like a tyrannical and incompetent ruler who forcibly took his subject's wife.

As the crown prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, he has innate pride and self-esteem. How could he tolerate such a thing happening?

Xia Lingxiao angrily threw his sleeves and left.

Leaving behind a silly lion still immersed in great joy.

And her beautiful eyes sparkled with a graceful smile.

Yes, although in terms of status, the general's wife is indeed not as respected as the queen who is high above everyone else.

But now, Xia Lingxiao's love for her is far less sincere and intense than Huo Tingye's.

Xia Lingxiao was more unwilling to let things go beyond his plan, and he also had a fierce desire to fight and an uncontrollable urge to plunder that came from deep within his male instincts.

That's not enough...

She not only wants status and power, but also love.

Because of love, her status and power will be more stable.

She wants to be the real and only heroine in this world.

......

The news that the emperor personally arranged a marriage between Huo Tingye and the daughter of Ningyuan Hou caused a huge stir in the capital.

Previously, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, which was once one of the most powerful families in the capital, suddenly fell, and the engagement with the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was naturally cancelled. Everyone was still sighing and lamenting.

At that time, many people believed that the Ningyuan Marquisate was gradually declining, and they had finally managed to get a seemingly good marriage, but they did not expect that it was just a pipe dream in the end.

I don’t know how many people who were jealous of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion were laughing at them openly or secretly.

As a result - within a few days, the Ningyuan Marquisate directly jumped up and became the most desired family in the entire capital?

Huo Tingye is the most popular aristocratic family at the moment, and the head of the family is the patron saint of every citizen of Da Xia. He is handsome and capable, holds a large number of troops, is feared by all, and has no worries in his life.

Who among those unmarried ladies from noble families has not had a heroic complex?

Who hasn’t imagined a man descending from the sky on a white horse?

Who doesn't want to marry Huo Tingye?

But she happened to be approached by the Ningyuan Marquisate, a marquisate that had just experienced the storm of broken engagement and was gradually declining.

How come Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is so lucky?!

When those sour words reached her ears, Qing Wu sat there quietly, her eyes fixed on the complete, dazzling and dazzling betrothal gifts in front of her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss...Isn't it possible that General Huo has emptied out the Huo Mansion?"

Even someone like Rong Jinxiu, who has watched countless idol dramas with extremely exaggerated plots in modern society, could not help but be stunned by the scene before her.

A room and a huge yard could hardly contain the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry and countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

This Huo Tingye—isn't he too generous?!

The smile on Qingwu's face became more and more charming.

She didn't like the word "climb up", although it was true that in terms of wealth, status and power recognized by the world, the Ningyuan Marquisate was far inferior to the Huo Family.

But Qingwu occupies a higher position in emotions.

Take the present situation for example.

How much a man is willing to pay for a woman often represents the extent of his love and preference for this woman.

Back then, although the Duke's Mansion was also very wealthy, the betrothal gift they offered to me was only mediocre, and many things in it could even be described as perfunctory.

Obviously, the Duke's wife at that time did not take her seriously at all and did not really value her.

However, the attitude displayed by the Huo family now is completely different.

The Huo family is telling everyone clearly that they, the Huo family, are extremely satisfied with Qingwu.

Huo Tingye had received a lot of rewards over the years, and he didn't need much money, so he saved it all for Qingwu.

Huo Tingye himself also said that the financial power of the family would definitely be handed over to Qingwu in the future.

He gave everything to Qingwu.
