Chapter 75 You absolutely must not go back!
As if recalling those extremely painful and unpleasant experiences, Shen Qingci choked up before continuing, "And your mother, when she learned that your eldest brother had been sent to the wrong person and was blamed by His Majesty, her first reaction was to blame me, to blame me for not lying properly in bed and causing your eldest brother to be sent to the wrong person."
"She even wanted me to enter the palace and offer myself to His Majesty in order to rescue your elder brother, and incidentally, to be made a concubine by His Majesty and enjoy wealth and honor while she helped your Huo family!"
Shen Qingci's eyes were full of tears, but she couldn't help but laugh mockingly: "In the past few months, your Huo family has really shown me the coldness of human nature."
"You want me to go back to the Huo residence? How do you think I should go back to a Huo residence like this?"
A flash of annoyance crossed Huo Yunzhan's eyes. Wasn't Shen Qingci always the most considerate, obedient, and sensible person?
Why are you being so unreasonable now?
He already said that he is Huo Yunzhan!
Huo Yunzhan has been away for the past few months. What does what Huo Yunting and his mother did have to do with him?
Shouldn't Shen Qingci be overjoyed after confirming his identity?
Her small courtyard only had so many servants, and they were all servants he didn't know. Couldn't they have discussed this in private? Why did he have to speak ill of his brother and mother in front of so many people?
Where does he put his pride?
Huo Yunzhan felt increasingly frustrated, but there was still a use in coaxing Shen Qingci back.
Huo Yunting's reputation is already ruined; he absolutely cannot continue to act as Huo Yunting.
Huo Yunzhan took a deep breath, suppressing his displeasure, and pretended to be surprised and confused: "I...I don't know."
"I was captured by the enemy during this time. I barely managed to escape and run back to find you. Are you really going to keep telling me all this?"
He looked at Shen Qingci with deep affection and said patiently, "I know you've been wronged lately. Be good and come back with me first. After we get back, I will definitely give you an explanation regarding my elder brother, sister-in-law, and mother."
Will you give her an explanation? How will you explain it?
Shen Qingci sneered; she didn't believe a single word Huo Yunzhan said.
But she really wanted to see what Huo Yunzhan was up to and how he would prove his identity to her.
"You want me to go back and explain myself again? To prove your identity to me again?" Shen Qingci scoffed. "How would I know if you're planning to lure me back first and then imprison me?"
“After all, your brother’s temperament has changed drastically recently, and he had previously imprisoned Liu Ruolan.”
Shen Qingci raised an eyebrow slightly: "You want me to go back? Fine. But you have to give me an explanation first!"
Huo Yunzhan felt increasingly irritated. When did Shen Qingci become... so aggressive?
"How do you expect me to explain this to you?"
Shen Qingci tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It's simple. Have your mother, your eldest brother, and your sister-in-law come to greet me in person, and then apologize to me in front of everyone!"
How is that possible!
Has Shen Qingci gone mad?
Shen Qingci seemed to have read his thoughts, and looked at him with a half-smile: "If you can't even do this, how can I believe that you can protect me after I return to the Huo family?"
Huo Yunzhan's smile was almost faltering: "Qingci, I know you've been wronged, but you've gone too far. They are, after all, my..."
Shen Qingci's expression suddenly changed, and she looked at him coldly: "Too much?"
"I've already made my request. Since you think my request is excessive and impossible to fulfill, then there's nothing more to say."
"Someone, show them out!"
Huo Yunzhan frowned, still trying to grab Shen Qingci, but a guard appeared like a ghost in front of him and grabbed his wrist.
Huo Yunzhan almost instinctively retaliated, but the guard also immediately made a move. However, with just two simple actions, Huo Yunzhan's expression changed.
Where did Shen Qingci find this person? Their martial arts skills are so high! Far surpassing his own!
He remembered that his mother had mentioned yesterday that she had originally wanted to force Shen Qingci to stay, but Shen Qingci had already placed people in the Huo residence to protect her.
It is said that those people were former subordinates of the Shen family?
A former member of the Shen family with such high martial arts skills?
Why did Shen Qingci never mention this to him?
He recalled the rumors that Shen Jingxuan had secretly trained an elite army, and his heart was filled with shock! Could these guards be members of Shen Jingxuan's private army?
Did Shen Qingci really know the location of that private army? Did she really have something that could command that army?
If that's the case, then he really needs to rethink his plans!
He had to go to the palace immediately to see His Majesty and Prime Minister Liu!
Huo Yunzhan was forced back several steps by the guard's palm strike. He took a deep breath, looked at Shen Qingci, and pretended to be deeply injured: "Qingci, you actually let your men attack me?"
He lowered his head and gave a bitter smile: "Fine, fine, I understand. I'll go now."
"You wait, I will definitely find a way to prove my identity! And I will definitely find a way to bring you back."
After he finished speaking, he gave Shen Qingci a deep, affectionate look before staggering away.
After Huo Yunzhan had walked away, Wanqing couldn't help but spit out a "pui" sound.
"What is this? You've been pretending to be human for so long, you've forgotten you're an animal! Even Big Yellow next door looks more human than him!"
After Wanqing finished scolding, she took Shen Qingci's arm and walked back: "He said the Marquis of Yongning has entered the palace? How can there be two Marquises of Yongning? What's going on?"
"He said he would prove to you, Miss, that he is the real Huo Yunzhan? How will he prove it? Could it be that he has that ability?"
"Miss, why did you make such a condition? If they really do send them to apologize to you, are you really going to go back?"
Wanqing's voice grew increasingly urgent, and she finally whispered, "That Marquis's mansion is no good place, and the people inside are no good either. We barely escaped, we absolutely cannot go back."
"Besides, Miss, you are going to marry the Regent!"
Shen Qingci chuckled: "Of course I can't go back."
After she finished speaking, her gaze turned cold again: "But Huo Yunting didn't disappear or fake his death; he created another Huo Yunzhan! We all know that one of these two is a fake. But others don't know."
"There will always be people who think that Huo Yunzhan is not dead."
"Huo Yunzhan didn't die, and he even appeared. So I'm not a widow anymore. Huo Yunzhan definitely won't divorce me for the time being, so I can't remarry so quickly and legitimately."
"Therefore, I need to find a way to expose his true colors!"
"Moreover, it must be done in public!"
