He feared that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to contain his anger, and he also feared that the longing in his heart would become unbearable, and he might do something outrageous.
He left with the words, "Do you really think I don't know you've repeatedly sneaked into my study?"
He then strode away.
Yin Jiuniang stood there, stunned.
What does he mean by that?
Huo Zhan then went to see the Marquis of Zhongyong.
The study is empty!
They learned that Marquis Zhongyong had gone to the backyard to find Cui Yihuan.
Huo Zhan smiled and said to Chen Qing, "Tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
Why is it that when he tries to hug his own woman, he gets pushed away, while that old codger Xie Bang gets to hold a soft, warm woman in his arms?
If he hadn't deliberately held back, they would still be fighting on the battlefield, locked in a fierce and endless battle.
Now that the war has stopped, Xie Bang can finally enjoy the bliss of having two women, but he's so angry with that woman that he wants to destroy the world.
Chen Qing felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to his words.
Despite his gentle tone, there was a hint of madness in him, as if he felt that if he didn't call for the Marquis, this person would barge in on his own.
In comparison, he decided to go by himself.
Marquis Zhongyong was extremely depressed after hearing Chen Qing's words!
He finally managed to find an excuse to stay in Cui Yihuan's room and talk to him, using it as an excuse to discuss matters at home.
I had planned to stay there until dark, and then until dawn.
Damn it, why is that old man Huo Zhan looking for Yin Jiuniang instead of trying to resolve their issues?
There's no war going on right now, so there's absolutely no need for them to meet.
But he heard that the scoundrel had already barged into Ye Zhen's courtyard, so he probably wouldn't care about Yi Huan's courtyard either.
"I'll tell you the rest later. I'll go see what's going on outside first."
Fearing that Cui Yihuan would refuse, he quickly ran away.
Upon arriving outside the study, he saw Huo Zhan standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He gritted his teeth and said, "You rushed off to see her before I even said a word, and now you're here with me again."
Huo Zhan calmed down and realized that Marquis Zhongyong had deliberately misled him.
She glanced at him and said, "You want to see me make a fool of myself."
Marquis Zhongyong didn't want to waste time with him, so he simply shared his experience, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I can see that Your Majesty cares about Jiu Niang."
His Majesty is not good at expressing himself, which is why he went to such lengths. Whether you two succeed or not, at least you should have spoken your minds.”
That way, I won't have to go to the Marquis's mansion all the time.
"You must not call her that."
He felt uncomfortable hearing such intimacy.
After the warning, Huo Zhan pondered the words of the Marquis of Zhongyong, "Do you think I am not good at expressing myself?"
When did he become bad at expressing himself?
He took over military power in his teens, and his orders were never wrong. Even when his subordinates didn't understand or react, he still managed to express himself very well.
He liked her and wanted to keep her by his side. She didn't want to be his wife and be bound by rules, so he took her as a concubine, freeing her from the rules of her mother and the household and giving her enough freedom.
These are all unique to her. He has never cared for any other woman so much, and other women can't even get close to him. Isn't that obvious enough?
When the Marquis of Zhongyong saw his expression, he knew that this man was a blockhead, even worse than him.
Thinking of the future peace and tranquility of the Marquis's mansion, he earnestly asked, "Have you clearly stated that you are in love with her?"
Huo Zhan shook his head.
He's not some greenhorn; he wouldn't talk about love all the time.
"Did you say you would marry her as your principal wife?"
She had said that, but, "she didn't want to."
After taking advantage of her virginity, he said he would marry her.
But her heart wasn't in Dongwu; she stayed only to seek revenge and steal intelligence.
Marquis Zhongyong then felt that this person was beyond saving, no wonder Yin Jiuniang ran away without looking back.
"Women are more sensitive and more likely to care about how others perceive them. Sometimes when they say no, they don't really mean no."
Besides, men value women, and giving her the position of a principal wife is the most basic thing. If you don't do that, she will naturally feel that you don't care about her.
If you don't care about her, why should she act like she cares about you? Young people's feelings are about testing and competing.
They care about who loves more and always want to give the same or even more in return, which leads to all sorts of awkward situations.
But we're both getting on in years, past the halfway point of life, so it's natural to express our feelings now. Time waits for no one; if we miss this opportunity, we'll regret it forever.
Yi Huan initially disagreed with being officially recognized, but he was so sincere.
He further advised, "Men value their pride, but compared to the joy of their beloved, that pride is worthless."
Okay, I can't teach you too much, or it will backfire.
Huo Zhan didn't show it on his face, but he listened carefully to every word. In the end, he concluded, "She doesn't care about my favor."
Even if he expresses himself very bluntly, she won't care, and might even mock him.
Marquis Zhongyong rolled his eyes. "I don't care. She would have killed you long ago."
Yin Jiuniang's skills are better than his. Having been lurking by Huo Zhan's side for many years, how could she not have any opportunities?
Huo Zhan wanted to say that she had poisoned him, but then he heard Marquis Zhongyong say, "If I didn't love you, how could I be pregnant with your child?"
They've been together for years, not just for a day or two. If she didn't get pregnant before, but got pregnant later, it's clear her feelings have wavered.
Besides, to be fair, although this man is petty and ruthless, he is not without merits. After spending several years with him, how many women would not be tempted?
Marquis Zhongyong felt that Yin Jiuniang had fallen for him. He had seen her sitting on the roof at midnight, staring blankly at Dongwu. However, he did not intend to tell Huo Zhan about this.
Let him figure it out on his own.
Huo Zhan did understand a little, but he didn't go to find Yin Jiuniang again. Instead, he returned to the inn where he was staying and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace with you to tell Emperor Dayuan the truth about Ye Jinghong's death in battle."
