Dugu Cang gnashed his teeth and said, "You are so stubborn!"
Su Wanti burst into tears, her face full of determination. "No matter what you say, it's useless. I will wait for my husband to come back. I will ask him face to face. Before he returns to the capital, I will not leave the He Mansion, and I will not divorce him!"
"I'm going back to He's house now. I'm going to wait for him to come back!"
Su Wanti put on her coat and ran to open the door.
Dugu Cang's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a rainstorm. Without saying a word, he chased to the door, picked up Su Wanti by the waist, and threw her onto the bed regardless of her struggle.
"Let me go!" Su Wanti struggled to get up again and again, but was pushed down by Dugu Cang again and again.
Until she had lost all her strength and lay on the pillow in a small ball, crying.
There was resentment and jealousy in Dugu Cang's eyes.
"Su Wanti, I just don't understand. What's so good about He Anping? You and he aren't actually husband and wife, and there's no love between you. Why are you so unwilling to leave the He Mansion?"
Su Wanti raised her head. The tip of her nose was red, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and her throat was hoarse.
"I, I am his legally married wife! Although we are not husband and wife in reality, we are husband and wife in name only. I was carried into the He family's mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight men. I have done nothing wrong. I cannot leave like this for no reason..."
Dugu Cang's eyes shone, "Just because of the status?"
This was the first time he had the intention to kill He Anping.
Su Wanti's words made him realize that He Anping was Su Wanti's husband in name only. Even if they were divorced, he was still her former husband. His identity was officially recognized, written in the marriage certificate, and recorded in the household register.
He is an unavoidable presence in her life and has left an indelible mark on her life.
Don’t want to be yourself...
In her life, her memory disappeared without a trace.
"Okay, I'll let you go back to the He Mansion and confront He Anping face to face." Dugu Cang suppressed the anger in his chest and said in a deep voice.
He deliberately concealed the fact that He Anping was in love with the eldest princess from Su Wanti.
At that time, he would try to get the princess to go to He's house and let Su Wanti see with her own eyes her beloved and trusted husband He Anping and the princess being affectionate and together as a couple.
He didn't believe that by then, Su Wanti would not give up and would still cling to the identity of He family's daughter-in-law and He Anping's wife!
After hearing what Dugu Cang said, Su Wanti wiped her tears, gathered her coat, and prepared to get up and leave.
"But not now."
Dugu Cang pushed Su Wanti down again and approached her. "I am not a person who takes things by force. What I want is your heart, not a body without a soul. So, I respect your choice."
"But, you can't just come and go as you please in my regent palace, right?"
"You came to ask me to save your husband, so you should at least act like one and listen to me, right?"
"I told you not to leave the palace, so you stay here honestly. When He Anping returns to Beijing, I will personally arrange a time to send you to the He Mansion to confront He Anping face to face."
Su Wanti's eyes flickered slightly, "Didn't you say that my husband is fine?"
"Heh..." Dugu Cang sneered, "I've been so good to you these days that you've forgotten who I am. I don't know how many souls have died under my command, men and women, young and old, noble and humble."
"I don't mind adding another innocent life."
"He Anping has been deceiving you since the beginning. He was fine in the first place."
"But I can make him busy."
"What did he say at first? That he'd made a mistake and was facing jail time, maybe even beheaded?"
"I can make what he says come true with just a flick of my finger."
"If you don't want He Anping to be beheaded, just obey me."
Dugu Cang stood up straight, his tall and burly body blocked the light, and his gloomy and depressing shadow completely covered Su Wanti.
"I'll send a letter to the people in your yard. You can stay here for the next few days."
After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.
Su Wanti heard what he told the maid guarding the gate.
"Lock the door, deliver three meals a day on time, and don't let her out no matter what she says."
Su Wanti slowly sat up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, Su Wanti was cold and indifferent, completely different from the one who had just cried breathlessly and was heartbroken.
There was a sneer on her lips, and her moist eyes were cold as ice.
He Anping will arrive in the capital soon, and the show is about to begin.
