Upon learning where Feng Jin was, Mu Beichen rushed over immediately.
When he witnessed the scene before him, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and a wildfire quickly ignited between his brows. He wished he could devour the two figures facing each other into his eyes!
With a flick of his sleeve, he swiftly rushed to the opposite side, unexpectedly grabbing Feng Jin's wrist and pulling her dozens of meters away. He roared angrily, "Feng Jin! Is the reason you were in such a hurry to move out of the Prince's mansion just to come to a place like this to fool around with other men?!"
"..."
Mu Beichen's appearance caught Feng Jin off guard. She stared at him in astonishment, opened her mouth, but unexpectedly, she was so shocked by his face, which was distorted by anger, that she shut her mouth and fell silent. The words she was about to say were sealed in her throat.
Before her, a tall and imposing man stood amidst the misty mountains. She staggered back, and he pressed closer, as if he would swallow her small figure whole in the next instant.
Mu Beichen stared intently at her, his eyes gradually turning crimson as a surge of overwhelming rage erupted from them. A furious shout burst from his lips: "Let me tell you, as long as you are still the Princess Consort of Jing, don't even think about doing such a shameless thing behind my back! Even if you are willing to degenerate and disobey your wifely duties, I will not allow myself to be shamed by you!"
Startled by his shout, Feng Jin's expression changed, and anger surged within her. She screamed hysterically, "Mu Beichen! What gives you the right to openly marry wives and concubines? You even disregard the promises you made yourself, while we women are expected to be subservient to men with many wives and concubines, unconditionally remaining chaste?"
"I've only gotten a little closer to Su Yu, and you're already accusing me of being unchaste and shameless... The reason you dare to question and condemn me so confidently now is because you're relying on those chauvinistic ideas, isn't it?"
Listening to her incessant and unrestrained accusations, Mu Beichen felt as if he had been struck in the heart of the matter. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Feng Jin, I know you are good at such fallacies and heresies, but the two things you mentioned cannot be generalized at all!"
Looking back at Mu Beichen's handsome face, flushed crimson with embarrassment and anger, her thoughts became increasingly chaotic, and all the anger in her heart surged forth in that instant.
"Where did I utter any twisted logic? Are you saying that your daily interactions with Su Ruan were just an act? You've repeatedly turned me away for her sake. Wasn't all of this your own doing? You always say you have your reasons, that everything you do is out of necessity... Now I want to ask you, who exactly forced you to do this? I did say that we would do anything for our common goal, but that doesn't include letting you exploit our relationship!"
She stared intently at his eyes and brows, her cold tone like a sharp blade, each word flying out rapidly, as if she wanted to pour out all the words hidden in her heart.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and dark blue clouds instantly covered the horizon. A deafening thunderclap followed, breaking through the clouds and causing a surge of silver waves on the lake, as if to swallow the figures floating at the foot of the mountains.
