Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 539: Night Meeting with Wang Yuyan

Wang Yuyan saw that the matter was exposed. She simply did not hide it, she said: "Yes. I am Hua's cousin. I have admired him since I was a child. Although I am married to you now, I still can't forget him. Now that you have discovered it, you can punish me if you want. I have no complaints." Wang Yuyan said and turned her face away.

Zhao Mu ignored Wang Yuyan and just sneered twice. He said, "Your painting is really ugly. Let me help you fix it."

Zhao Mu spread the unfinished painting on the table again, and then used his painting skills to paint. It didn't take long for him to finish the portrait of Murong Fu.

Zhao Mu put down the pen in his hand and said, "This is the right way to do it."

Wang Yuyan and A-Bi were very puzzled by Zhao Mu's behavior.

Zhao Mu blew the ink on the painting dry, then said to A Bi, "A Bi, hang up this painting." Then Zhao Mu pointed to a place.

Although A-Bi didn't understand what Zhao Mu meant, since they were both in the wrong before, she hung up the painting obediently.

Looking at the lifelike portrait of Murong Fu, a sly smile appeared on Zhao Mu's face.

After A Bi finished hanging the portrait, Zhao Mu said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, A Bi, you can go back first."

Wang Yuyan couldn't help but shudder when she heard that Zhao Mu was going to send A-Bi away. She had been very nervous during this period. She was afraid of being alone. She was afraid that Zhao Mu would suddenly come looking for her.

She had told her grandmother, mother, and cousin before. She didn't like Zhao Mu and hoped they could talk about it.

But Li Qinglu, Li Qingluo, and Li Qiushui were all sensible people, and they all saw clearly what kind of person Murong Fu was. Therefore, the three of them all supported Wang Yuyan to marry Zhao Mu.

Although Zhao Mu was greedy and lustful, he had one good point, which was that he protected his faults. He would not give up on the woman he liked, nor would he treat her badly. He would not sell out the woman around him for power or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

So the grandmother, mother, and cousin all advised Wang Yuyan to face reality and calm down. It was much better to marry Zhao Mu and live in the palace with them in peace and prosperity than to follow Murong Fu, a greedy bastard.

It’s just that Wang Yuyan is still a little unclear now and can’t quite recognize the reality.

Wang Yuyan looked at A-Bi and kept shaking her head, signaling her not to leave.

Zhao Mu looked at A Bi and said, "What's wrong? It's so late, aren't you going to rest?" Zhao Mu's tone also became cold.

A-Bi looked at Wang Yuyan, whose eyes were full of pleading, and Zhao Mu, who was obviously impatient.

In the end, A Bi chose to respect Zhao Mu. She bowed to Zhao Mu and said, "A Bi is leaving!" Then A Bi turned around and left, then walked out of the hall.

Now, only Zhao Mu and Wang Yuyan are left in this huge Lianxin Palace.

Seeing Ah Bi leaving, Wang Yuyan's heart sank. There was a hint of despair in her pleading eyes.

Zhao Mu also walked towards her slowly, and Wang Yuyan also retreated cautiously.

Wang Yuyan looked at Zhao Mu and asked, "You! What do you want to do?"

Zhao Mu sneered and said, "What are you asking, my beloved? You are my wife, and I am your husband. Do you need me to tell you what a husband should do to his wife? Haha." Hearing Zhao Mu's laughter and seeing him slowly approaching, Wang Yuyan couldn't help feeling scared.

Wang Yuyan went around to the other side of the drawing table.

Zhao Mu laughed in his heart when he saw her frightened look. This was the fun he wanted. If Wang Yuyan really just accepted it, then there would be no point.

Zhao Mu asked, "Why? My beloved concubine, are you planning to play a game of cat and mouse with me?"

Wang Yuyan looked at Zhao Mu, tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Master Zhao, Yuyan begs you to be kind and let me go back to my cousin. Yuyan will be grateful to you for the rest of her life. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you."

Zhao Mu spread his hands and said, "But I only want this life, not the afterlife. Besides, you are my concubine now. I am the dignified ruler of Qi State, and my concubine has been taken away by another man. How can I put my face on this?"

Zhao Mu did not try to catch Wang Yuyan. He continued to smile and said, "Besides, even if I am willing to let you go, Brother Murong will not want you anymore."

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She thought to herself that she had been sent to Zhao Mu for nearly a year. No one would believe that she was innocent. Her cousin always thought he was a nobleman, so how could he want a woman who had lost her reputation?

However, what Zhao Mu said next was the most difficult for her to accept.

Zhao Mu said calmly, "Even if I really send you back, Brother Murong will send someone to send you back to me. And you will come back the same way you left. Even if I divorce you, I'm afraid he won't dare to want you. Besides, if he really has feelings for you, he wouldn't give you to me as a gift so easily."

"Stop talking! Stop talking!" Wang Yuyan shouted in annoyance.

The most hurtful words in the world are not lies, but the bloody truth.

Everything Zhao Mu said was a fact that Wang Yuyan didn't want to think about or accept.

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "If I don't say it, will it be different? But I don't like to force others. If you really don't want to, I can send you back. But Brother Murong, please let him do what he wants. Now that I have been demoted to the northwest by His Majesty, I am afraid I can't help him with the affairs of the court. I can't help him with the restoration of Great Yan or anything like that."

Hearing Zhao Mu's "threat", Wang Yuyan looked at Zhao Mu and said, "No! You can't do this! You can't break your promise! My cousin has risked everything to restore Great Yan. If you don't help him, then the Murong family will be finished."

Zhao Mu couldn't help but sneer at Wang Yuyan's words.

If you want to get something but don't want to pay the price, how can such a good thing exist in this world?

Zhao Mu was still not busy. He said with a smile, "Oh, this is a little difficult to deal with. If Miss Wang is by my side, then Brother Murong and I can be considered as 'relatives'. It makes sense for me to help him. But if Miss Wang really doesn't want to give it to me, I won't force it. I will return you and A Bi. Even if I want to help at that time, I'm afraid that the officials under my command will not agree to my king wasting the country's financial resources and military forces to help a person who is not related to me."

Faced with Zhao Mu's "threat", Wang Yuyan's attitude completely softened.

Seeing her desolate expression, Zhao Mu also smiled. He didn't need to force Wang Yuyan at all. He only needed a few words to make her undress and throw herself into his arms.
