Shang Tian's expression stiffened for a moment. Well, it was indeed his fault.
But... he didn't do any of these things.
He felt a throbbing pain in his head. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, disperse." Seeing his cold expression, no one dared to say anything more and they left silently.
The guests can be easily dismissed, but what about the concubine?
Seeing his increasingly cold face, Su Qian calmly reminded him, "Don't strangle Su An to death."
Seeing Su An's pitiful little face really makes one happy.
He caused so much trouble, now he's getting his comeuppance.
Shang Tian unconsciously loosened his grip a bit, then turned and handed Su An to Wen Zi, saying, "You hold her."
"Oh." Mosquito took Su An and hugged her carefully.
Hearing the commotion, the young lady from the Chang family came out from behind and said, "Husband."
Hearing her address like that, Shang Tian felt a headache coming on. What should he do?
The fault lies with him; the Chang family's cousin is innocent. It's just that he has no desire to take a concubine.
Asahi will be unhappy.
"Now that we haven't even consummated our marriage, why don't you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Chang family's cousin, "If my husband divorces me now, I will have no choice but to hang myself."
She looked at Shang Tian with tears in her eyes. Even if she had to remain a widow in the Shang family for the rest of her life, she could not leave.
Shang Tian is still alive in the village. He is of good character, so the villagers dare not bully her and her grandmother.
But what if Shang Tian leaves one day, far from the emperor's reach, and what kind of situation will he be in?
Shang Tian dared not look at Su Qian. If he kept her, Su Qian would be unhappy. But if he drove her away, the Chang family's cousin would probably only have one way out: death.
He didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him. How could he live with himself?
only......
"I can let you stay and serve A-Qian, but then you'll have to live as a widow for the rest of your life. Are you willing to do that?"
Although this was unfair to the Chang family's cousin, it was the biggest concession he could make.
"I'm willing," the young lady from the Chang family agreed without hesitation.
She was still young, and she didn't want to die at all.
Shang Tian sighed and reiterated, "I will only be A Qian's husband. If anything happens between us, I can only atone with my death, and you and Madam Chang will probably not have a good ending either."
He certainly believed in his willpower, but he really didn't know what would happen if the Chang family's cousin drugged him.
The young lady from the Chang family turned pale; she had still held onto a sliver of hope.
Now, however, I don't dare to have even the slightest thought about it.
She knelt down, kowtowed earnestly, and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, this servant...this servant understands."
She knew that Shang Tian had kept her as a slave.
She was once a lady from a respectable family, but now she has become Su Qian's maid. How ridiculous!
She should have listened to her grandmother. If she had listened to her grandmother now, she wouldn't be in this situation where she has to live a life of widowhood.
Upon hearing the news, Old Madam Chang rushed to the Shang family home, only to hear these words. She was furious, but to her surprise, Shang Tian said, "It's none of your business now. Go back to the Chang family first."
This means that the Chang family's cousin is given the title of concubine but not any real benefits.
Madam Chang was furious. Leaning on her cane, she walked up to Shang Tian and demanded, "Does Your Highness still remember what you promised me that day?"
This is her only granddaughter, the apple of her eye, yet she has been so humiliated.
How could she tolerate it?
How could she possibly swallow this insult?
