Dugu Cang just thought it was ridiculous.
"You are already mine, why do you want to go back to the He Mansion? The one you have physical contact with is me, not him. How can you go back to the He Mansion and continue to be his wife?"
Su Wanti's body stiffened, and her eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings.
She looked like she had no temper and whispered, "But I'm with you just to save my husband!"
"My husband has returned to the capital, so he is safe. I am grateful to the Regent for saving my life."
"But I am his legally married wife, and I will eventually return to the He Mansion."
"Besides..." Su Wanti didn't dare to look up at him. She bit her lip for a moment and said, "After my husband returns to the capital, I think I won't be able to leave the house like I do now..."
Dugu Cang felt sad, his eyes were cold, he gritted his teeth, paused for a moment, and said:
"You mean, after He Anping returns to Beijing, you won't come to see me anymore? Is our relationship over?"
"Su Wanti, He Anping is fine now, so you want to abandon me?"
"Don't forget, no matter where he is, as long as he's an official in the Great Qi Kingdom, I can control him. I can make his life a living hell, or I can make his career smooth."
Hearing this, Su Wanti suddenly raised her head, her eyes misty and full of disbelief.
She stammered, "But, but he is my husband. Please, don't hurt him."
In fact, Su Wanti was saying in her heart, hurt him, torture him, please, use your means, use your power, and make him live a life worse than death!
Dugu Cang was dissatisfied with Su Wanti's protective attitude towards He Anping.
Dugu Cang's face darkened. "Do you like him that much? He treated you like a toy and sent you to my bed, and you still want to go back and be his wife? You've already served me, so why do you have to serve him?"
"Do you think He Anping will still want you? Will he touch you?"
"His woman, in order to save him, indulged herself in the pleasures of another man. Do you think he can still accept you? How can he face you? Can he act as if nothing happened?"
"Have you ever thought about what kind of life you'll have if you go back? He Anping won't just pretend nothing happened. He'll ignore you forever. Imagine the rest of your life, guarding the temple with the ancient Buddha, or being ignored by the He family and dying in depression?"
"If you want to stay in my house, I will arrange for you to divorce He Anping. Then, you will be free and can marry on your own. I will welcome you into my house."
He knew that she had always been obedient and law-abiding, never violating the ancestral laws and never disobeying her elders.
Dedicating herself to He Anping in order to save him was probably the most rebellious thing she had ever done in her life.
However, she did this because the elders of the He family and He Anping asked her to do so, so she did it obediently.
Therefore, for her, devoting herself to him was a matter of filial piety and loyalty, and not a heresy.
But asking her to divorce He Anping and leave the He Mansion would be a different matter.
Dugu Cang wanted to make her realize that if she went back to the He Mansion, she would most likely end up in an extremely miserable situation in the future.
Make her afraid, make her panic, make her listen to him, make her voluntarily divorce He Anping and stay with him.
But Su Wanti still shook her head, her eyes firm, "My husband is a man who knows how to repay kindness. I am doing this to save him. He will remember my kindness and treat me well."
Dugu Cang was extremely angry and sneered:
"Foolish! You don't understand human nature at all. From the moment he sent you out of the house, he abandoned you."
"Besides, this is a life-saving favor. How can he repay you? He can't. At first, he will feel guilty about you, but over time, he will feel that this matter is a thorn stuck in his throat, a thorn that cannot be removed. Your kindness will become a soft whip that tortures him. In the end, to ease his conscience, he will find a way to make you disappear."
Dugu Cang looked at Su Wanti with dark eyes, revealing the darkest and most common human nature.
Su Wanti's eyes were filled with tears, and she clutched her chest. "Stop talking! No, my husband is not that kind of person!"
"Heh—" Dugu Cang laughed out loud in anger, "You two haven't even met each other, and you don't have any affection for each other. Do you know him? If he was a good man, would he send you to my bed?"
He pushed Su Wanti down and covered her.
Su Wanti shed tears and shook her head, "I won't believe anything you say. Please don't alienate me from my husband. I am He Anping's wife. I am his in life and his in death. I will not divorce him, and I will certainly not be with you!"
"What if I order him to divorce you, what if I insist on keeping you in the palace?" Dugu Cang's eyes were filled with undercurrents, he pinched her waist with both hands, and approached step by step.
"Uh..." Su Wanti raised her neck, her eyes blank...
Fragmented words escaped his lips, "How can the Regent...take...the wife of a minister?"
Dugu Cang hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
"I won't let you go. You can only belong to me. Your body and your heart can only be mine."
This time, Dugu Cang was ruthless and acted more violently than ever before.
————
The next day, when Su Wanti woke up, Dugu Cang was still not around. He was busy with official duties and always got up before dawn.
Su Wanti sat up, rubbed her waist and legs, and secretly cursed Dugu Cang for his excessive demands.
However, after what happened last night, she discovered something.
She discovered that Dugu Cang had developed a possessive mentality towards her.
Also, although Dugu Cang's emotions were unstable when he was with her, sometimes gentle and sometimes irritable, she found that there was a pattern to this.
