Although the pavilion was secluded, it was surrounded by many people, and Song Yuxiu's shouting inevitably attracted onlookers.
"...Don't touch me? I'm a rising star in the court, I've just earned military merit!"
"Let me go right now!"
"Chen Zhiyi, come out here."
Song Yuxiu had been following them all the way here. There were many men and women having secret rendezvous in the Tingzhi Water Pavilion, which made him feel extremely threatened. Could it be that Shen Zhiyi had come here to meet a stranger?
There were guards outside the waterside pavilion, so he couldn't get in.
But the thought of possibly being eliminated naturally made him anxious.
He is infertile, and now...
They can't be considered real men.
Who would want him?
She was married to Shen Zhiyi for two years, but they never consummated their marriage. She still poured her heart out to him.
The guards were trying to take him away, so he could only attract their attention in this way. Shen Zhiyi also didn't want to attract too much attention, since the regent could appear at any time.
If someone were to see the Regent Prince having a secret rendezvous with the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, there would be no way to explain it.
"Song Yuxiu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Upon seeing Chen Zhiyi emerge from the waterside pavilion, Song Yuxiu was overjoyed and immediately rushed to her side.
"I have something to tell you."
"We have already divorced."
"But you still have feelings for me, don't you?"
"..."
Shen Zhiyi was taken aback by his words.
She couldn't figure out what she had done to give him this misconception.
Her stunned and surprised expression was interpreted by Song Yuxiu as surprise at having his thoughts exposed. "I knew it. After so many years of relationship, you couldn't possibly not love me."
“If you’re willing to turn back, we can start over completely.”
"Whether it's that pretty boy guard by your side or some random man you're going to meet tonight, I can let bygones be bygones."
Shen Zhiyi was utterly dumbfounded.
How could there be such a taciturn, shameless, and despicable person in this world?
"Song Yuxiu, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe me, I won't be polite to you." Shen Zhiyi noticed that some people were looking this way. "I'll tell you one last time, we're divorced, and from now on we'll be strangers."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Song Yuxiu was anxious and suddenly knelt down in front of her.
"Zhiyi, I know I was wrong. I'll do anything you ask if you can forgive me."
"Please don't say such insincere and hurtful things, I really can't stand it."
Shen Zhiyi felt so disgusted by him that she wanted to vomit.
Against my conscience?
Did he leave his brain on the battlefield when he went out to fight?
She wanted to leave, but Song Yuxiu waited for her for three whole days before finally seeing her. When he realized that kneeling wouldn't work, he simply grabbed her forearm, and Shen Zhiyi instinctively struggled.
With a pull and a tug, Shen Zhiyi broke free of her restraints, but Song Yuxiu immediately noticed a red mark hidden under her collar.
Red...
It's blinding!
He wasn't a celibate, so he naturally recognized what it was, especially since it was on his neck.
"Shen Zhiyi, who is this wild man!" Song Yuxiu's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he stared intently at her.
Shock, anger
His expression was as if he had been cuckolded.
Shen Zhiyi ignored him and signaled the guards to drag him away, but Song Yuxiu had not been training in the army for nothing during this time, and he struggled to break free with all his might.
Rushing forward, trying to grab onto the heavy branch:
"You already have someone else outside, don't you?!"
"Shen Zhiyi, we just got divorced, and you're already getting involved with someone else..."
How shameless you are!
The next second,
Shen Zhiyi swung her arm and slapped him across the face.
The crisp sound of a slap forced him to swallow back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
Song Yuxiu's head was knocked to one side by the blow, his face full of disbelief. As soon as he looked up, he was met with an even harder slap.
Now, they put all their effort into it.
The blows were so powerful that Shen Zhiyi's arm was sore from the impact.
"Song Yuxiu, who do you think you are! Who are you to me? What I do and who I associate with is none of your business!"
"I'm warning you..."
Chen Zhiyi moved a little closer.
The familiar scent emanating from her instantly permeated Song Yuxiu's entire body.
It's sweet.
But her next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar:
"If you dare to bother me again, I will make sure your entire Song family collapses and is reduced to ashes!"
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
His face was deathly pale, making the bright red finger marks appear even clearer and deeper. He could feel something pressing against his chest. Shen Zhiyi's lips curled slightly as she leaned closer, her voice almost touching his:
"The Crown Prince Song followed me late at night, intending to do something wicked to me. I instinctively resisted..."
"One arrow killed the crown prince!"
Do you think His Majesty will blame me?
An arrow?!
Why would she carry this thing with her?
Song Yuxiu was completely numb.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyi took a half step back. "I don't know why you think I still have feelings for you. I'll tell you one last time, if I could go back two years, I would marry a chicken or a dog rather than choose you."
"If you dare to talk nonsense again and ruin my reputation, I will definitely not let you off."
After finishing her sentence, Shen Zhiyi turned and headed towards the waterside pavilion.
Song Yuxiu was stunned for a few seconds by her words.
But Chen Zhiyi is now the only straw to save the Marquis's mansion, and he must seize it, so he still gritted his teeth and tried to chase after her, but he was stopped by the guards.
"Young Master Song, please return!"
"Let me in!"
"This is my master's private pavilion, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."
