Chapter 157 He fell off the cliff and died.
Allocation of rooms?
That's impossible.
Zhao Yu will never be separated from Xu Chumian in his lifetime.
Xu Chumian had no desire to listen to Zhao Yu.
She tried to break free with her arms, but she couldn't overcome Zhao Yu's strength.
"If you don't leave, I will."
Zhao Yu took a deep breath. "Chumian, don't say hurtful things. I was the one who was wrong just now."
Xu Chumian's eyes were red. "What you just said is what you've always been thinking, isn't it? You're bothered by my relationship with Qingyan. If that's the case, why did you force me to marry you in the first place?"
"Rather than suffer the same fate as in our past life, we might as well wait until the child is born and then get a divorce."
Xu Chumian's words were like daggers, piercing Zhao Yu's heart with pain.
Zhao Yu stared intently at her, "Divorce?"
The room was unusually quiet.
Xu Chumian clenched her fists, her eyes lowered, a sour feeling rising in her throat making it difficult for her to speak.
Zhao Yu's eyes were dark and brooding. He let out a soft laugh. "Just because of this, you're going to abandon me and the child?"
Xu Chumian bit her lip, glaring at Zhao Yu, her eyelids and nose red from crying.
"It's because you have something to hide."
Seeing Xu Chumian like this, Zhao Yu felt heartbroken. He wrapped his arms around Xu Chumian and said, "Chumian, don't say hurtful things anymore. I admit I mind you and Xiao Qingyan, and I'm jealous, but we're married now. We'll live happily ever after the baby is born."
Zhao Yu gently patted Xu Chumian's back with his large hand.
Her shoulders were still trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with grievance.
Zhao Yu thought of the time in his previous life when Xu Chumian was tormented by the Zhang family. Chumian had cried to him in the same way, but Zhao Yu did not believe it.
No matter what she said, Zhao Yu did not agree with her.
From that time until Mu Mu's death, Xu Chumian never mentioned anything bad about the Zhang family again.
Recalling the past, guilt and remorse surged towards Zhao Yu like a tidal wave.
He kissed the top of Xu Chumian's head, "Chumian, please forgive me this time."
Xu Chumian didn't know either.
Zhao Yu only said that one sentence, yet she reacted so strongly.
Xu Chumian pushed Zhao Yu away.
"Get out, I'm tired."
Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and gazed at her, "Chu Mian..."
Xu Chumian wiped her eyes. "I told you to get out."
Zhao Yu had no choice but to let go of her.
Xu Chumian got into bed and then lowered the bed curtains, curling up on the inside of the bed.
Zhao Yu could only vaguely make out a figure.
Zhao Yu was worried about her.
But Chu Mian didn't want to see him, so Zhao Yu could only wait in the outer room.
The maids and servants outside the courtyard dared not make a sound.
The inner room and the bed were also unusually quiet.
Zhao Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, suppressing the sourness in his eyes.
He and Xu Chumian had finally reached this point, but because of one sentence from him, they almost lost everything.
Xiao Qingyan was the first person Xu Chumian had this kind of relationship with besides Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu admitted that he had once been jealous of Xiao Qingyan.
Driven mad with jealousy.
Even if Xiao Qingyan appears, so what?
He and Chu Mian are already married and have children.
Zhao Yu would never let go.
Anyone who wants to take Xu Chumian away will have to step over Zhao Yu's corpse first.
Zhao Yu waited for about a quarter of an hour before entering the house.
A few oil lamps were lit inside the room, casting a dim, yellowish light.
Zhao Yu drew back the bed curtains, looked at the person on the bed, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Xu Chumian was curled up, her palms still pressed against her lower abdomen, her brows furrowed as she slept restlessly, her dark eyelashes still damp.
Zhao Yu didn't dare touch her.
He sat on the edge of the bed, recalling the days and nights he had spent with Xu Chumian.
Countless times in her past life, in places unknown to him, Xu Chumian had been this heartbroken.
Zhao Yu felt like he was a bastard.
Time passed slowly inside the room, and when midnight arrived, Zhao Yu was unwilling to leave.
He only had eyes for Xu Chumian.
At 11:15 AM, Zhao Yu had no choice but to get up and leave the house.
As soon as Zhao Yu stepped out of Heyun Courtyard, a shadow fell over his brow.
The people outside the city have already made their deployment.
As soon as Xiao Qingyan appears, he will be captured.
Zhao Yu, his face grim, rode his horse out of the city.
...
Xu Chumian woke up shortly after Zhao Yu left.
She leaned against the bedside when a sharp pain suddenly shot through her abdomen. Xu Chumian turned pale and summoned Granny Liang.
Seeing that things were not good, Granny Liang immediately went to call Doctor Wang.
The waiting process was extremely agonizing.
Fortunately, Dr. Wang lived in a nearby courtyard.
After examining her, the doctor said that Xu Chumian had been so angry that she had a heart attack, and told her not to get angry.
This child has faced numerous setbacks since the pregnancy was diagnosed.
Xu Chumian was in a state of utter confusion.
Upon hearing the news, Madam Zhang rushed over immediately. She was also anxious and hurriedly asked, "Where is He'an?"
Xu Chumian moved her lips slightly, "He has something to do tonight and needs to leave the city."
When Xu Chumian looked up, Zhang Shi noticed her daughter-in-law's red and swollen eyes.
this……
Madam Zhang frowned. "Chumian, don't worry. Doctor Wang is a renowned gynecologist with a long family tradition of expertise. The baby will definitely be fine."
Xu Chumian nodded, "Thank you, Mother."
Granny Liang brought over the medicine to help with the pregnancy, saying, "Young Madam, the fever has subsided."
Xu Chumian hummed in agreement, then frowned and finished drinking it sip by sip.
After Xu Chumian fell asleep again, Madam Zhang left. Fearing that something might go wrong that night, Doctor Wang stayed in the courtyard to keep watch.
In the courtyard, Madam Zhang frowned and asked, "What exactly happened tonight?"
Granny Liang hesitated before recounting what had happened that evening.
It's unclear what the couple argued about.
Madam Zhang immediately felt a headache coming on. "Take good care of Chu Mian. If Zhao Yu acts recklessly, kick him out. The child is more important."
Granny Liang replied, "Yes."
Inside the room, Xu Chumian lay on her side, trying hard not to think about what had happened that evening. The blanket was pulled up to her chest, and as the medicine took effect, she quickly fell asleep again, still holding the blanket.
The fighting outside the city finally ceased.
Zhao Yu chased after Xiao Qingyan to the top of Luoxia Mountain.
The Prince of Ding's arrival in the capital was merely a smokescreen; the real Prince of Ding is currently imprisoned in a manor outside the city, and the one who appeared just now was merely an imposter sent by the Duke of Zhao.
Xiao Qingyan and his men suffered heavy casualties.
Former friends have become bitter enemies, and now they are fugitives living on the run.
At this moment, there were only two people on the mountaintop, while Zhao Yu's men were still halfway up the mountain, catching up with them.
Xiao Qingyan was covered in blood, and there were skulls on his shoulders and chest.
Xiao Qingyan's face was ashen: "I never thought we'd come to this."
Zhao Yu rode on his horse, his cold and stern face radiating a chill.
Xiao Qingyan gave a bitter laugh, "Take it or leave it."
"Zhao Yu, although I have lost, I have no regrets."
Zhao Yu gazed ahead and said, "Go. Don't come to the capital again. Go into hiding and find your own place in the mountains and rivers."
Xiao Qingyan stared intently at Zhao Yu. "What do you mean?"
"His Majesty has long been aware of your father's affair."
Xiao Qingyan could not save Prince Ding.
Xiao Qingyan: "You're going to let me go? Aren't you afraid of letting a tiger return to the mountain?"
Zhao Yu recalled Xiao Qingyan's fate in his previous life.
He refused to submit to the Western Di and jumped into the Mingsha River.
Xiao Qingyan was a chivalrous and righteous man.
From any perspective, Zhao Yu did not want Xiao Qingyan to die.
Xiao Qingyan suddenly smiled, "You're afraid Chu Mian will find out I'm dead, aren't you?"
Zhao Yu felt a sudden chill run through him, his eyes like cold stars. "You have half an hour left."
Xiao Qingyan smiled.
"I broke my promise; I left her first."
"Zhao Yu, if you treat her badly, I'm going back to the capital."
Zhao Yu shot an arrow that struck Xiao Qingyan directly off his horse.
The horse was startled.
Xiao Qingyan gripped the reins and laughed heartily, "He'an, goodbye forever."
Xiao Qingyan turned around and spurred his horse down a hillside.
Halfway through his mission, Xiao Qingyan fired an arrow at Zhao Yu's shoulder.
However, it was a superficial injury.
Zhao Yu pulled out the arrow without expression.
Xiao Qingyan's voice rang out last.
"The play must be played out completely."
Zhao Yu chuckled.
When the people who rushed over saw this, they all asked, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Zhao Yu replied indifferently, "It's alright."
"Then... what about Xiao Qingyan?"
The wind howled at the edge of the cliff.
"He fell off the cliff and died."
