How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 585: Cuckolded Right Before His Eyes
When Liu Xu arrived at her small courtyard, she saw Zhao Yu. Liu Xu was now taking a nap in the courtyard, seemingly worn out from reading, leaning against the Imperial Concubine Couch.
Zhao Yu had a smile on his face as he covered Liu Xu with a blanket, his expression full of gentleness.
Then he closed the book that Liu Xu had been reading.
Tang Peizhong walked up to Zhao Yu, suppressing his anger, maintaining a semblance of courtesy. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Zhao Yu, I have something to discuss with Xuxu."
Zhao Yu looked up, somewhat surprised at his polite demeanor. He looked at Liu Xu, then at Tang Peizhong.
"Alright."
Their conversation woke Liu Xu, and she slowly opened her eyes.
At first, she saw Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu helped Liu Xu sit up, his face softened by a gentle smile.
"Why did you wake up? Don’t you want to sleep a bit longer?"
Liu Xu shook her head, and when she turned her gaze to Tang Peizhong, the tenderness in her eyes was gone, replaced by coldness.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Tang Peizhong felt a sharp pain in his heart; when had the once gentle Liu Xu towards him turned into this?
Tang Peizhong endured the discomfort and spoke.
"Xuxu, Zan’er asked me to go to Lin State to assist him in battle."
Liu Xu nodded, "I know about Zan’er going to Lin State. Whether you help him or not is entirely up to you, I have nothing to say."
Liu Xu’s attitude was too indifferent.
Tang Peizhong moved next to Liu Xu, pushing Zhao Yu aside. Zhao Yu, with a good temperament, said nothing.
"Xuxu, don’t you worry about my safety at all?"
Liu Xu’s eyebrows furrowed.
"Tang Peizhong, can you be reasonable? Why did you push my cousin aside?"
Tang Peizhong opened his mouth, about to speak, when he heard Liu Xu continue.
"Besides, you are the Northern War King. Who would dare disapprove of your decisions in the slightest? Just choose the path you won’t regret."
Finally, with a self-mocking smile, bitterness lingered in her words.
"After all, my advice is useless, isn’t it?"
Tang Peizhong looked at Liu Xu with hope in his eyes, holding her hand.
"Xuxu, as long as you say the word now, that you want me to stay, I will stay."
Liu Xu chuckled lightly.
"Tang Peizhong, Tang Peizhong, why would I want you to stay? Whether you are here or not, what difference does it make to me?"
After saying this, Liu Xu was unwilling to pay more attention to Tang Peizhong and instead looked at Zhao Yu.
"Let’s go, cousin, help me get some clothes."
Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, "Alright, the other day I had a jade hairpin made at Cuiyu Pavilion, it should be ready by now. I’ll take you to get it."
He added at the end, "It’s for you."
Liu Xu’s face showed a shy smile, and the blush on her cheeks was exceptionally beautiful.
Seeing Liu Xu’s smile, Tang Peizhong’s heart was twisted.
To be honest, he knew very well the meaning of Liu Xu’s smile.
Previously, he was uncertain, thinking Liu Xu might be trying to annoy him.
Until he saw this smile, the smile on Tang Peizhong’s face disappeared completely.
He dared not hold onto the fantasy that Liu Xu still liked him.
Previously, this smile had appeared many times, but that was when Liu Xu still liked him.
Once Liu Xu no longer liked him, this smile disappeared entirely.
But now, Liu Xu had this smile again, the smile a woman gives to a man she likes.
Sadly, Liu Xu’s smile was not directed at him, but at Zhao Yu!
At this moment, Tang Peizhong truly felt a mix of emotions.
His hand trembled slightly, holding onto Liu Xu’s hand.
"Xuxu, as long as you speak out and tell me not to go, I won’t."
Liu Xu glanced at Tang Peizhong, "Didn’t you previously say that a man should serve his country? So, no matter how hard I pleaded, you still went to the battlefield."
Zhao Yu’s voice timely came from the side.
"Xuxu, don’t worry about unimportant people. Let’s go, I think the jade hairpin I carved for you should be ready."
Liu Xu nodded, a sweet smile on her lips.
She whispered in the end, "The jade hairpin I carved for you is also ready."
"It’s in the same style as the one you had made."
Zhao Yu couldn’t fail to understand the implication, his eyes lit up, and he immediately excitedly hugged Liu Xu.
Tang Peizhong’s eyes were about to explode. He never expected his wife would give him such a big cuckold right in front of him.
He felt so embarrassed, it’s over the top.
No, it was Zhao Yu who was proactive, his wife was passive.
His expression was grim as he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Zhao Yu, wanting to pull away this reckless person.
But then he saw Liu Xu also hugging Zhao Yu back.
Laying her face against Zhao Yu’s chest, her smile was sweet and happy.
At this moment, to say it was a bolt from the blue would not be an exaggeration.
He lost his mind, stepping forward and pulling Liu Xu out of Zhao Yu’s embrace.
"Xuxu, what are you doing?"
Liu Xu looked indifferent, "What are you doing."
Zhao Yu held Liu Xu’s hand, looking steadfastly at Tang Peizhong.
"Northern War King, I hope you can show the gentleman’s demeanor and let Xuxu go. Xuxu and I are already discussing marriage, I’ve already asked my mother to visit Madam Zhao to talk about it."
At these words, Tang Peizhong felt his mind explode, realizing he was on the verge of losing control.
Truly losing control.
In his ignorance, these two had already progressed to discussing marriage.
He couldn’t even imagine, if he hadn’t come this time.
Then, after coming back from Lin State, would they already be married, a fait accompli.
He looked grim, calling Tianyi and Tian Er.
"Tianyi, get Zhao Yu out of here, and don’t let him into the Madam’s courtyard in the future!"
Liu Xu and Zhao Yu’s faces turned unpleasant.
Zhao Yu said, "Tang Peizhong, don’t be too domineering."
Liu Xu also said, "Tang Peizhong, by what right do you do this? There’s no longer anything between us! By what right do you meddle in my affairs?"
Tang Peizhong no longer took a humble approach.
He said, "By what right, because I am your husband, I never took your talk of divorce seriously."
"The reason I didn’t limit your contact with Zhao Yu was not out of magnanimity, but out of fear that you’d get angry."
"Looking at it now, I was wrong. Instead of being so humble, I might as well keep you by my side, better than having nothing to do with me."
At these words, Liu Xu wore a trace of hatred on her face.
"Tang Peizhong, you weren’t such an unfashionable person."
Tang Peizhong’s voice almost came from his throat, his eyes fixed on Liu Xu like a beast’s.
"Xuxu, you’re wrong. I have to keep you first, to discuss matters of style."
"Tian Er, watch the Madam closely!"
He first needed to find Tang Zan to reject his proposal.
