How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 586: A True Macho Man Showing Affection
When Tang Zan heard Tang Peizhong’s words, he was a bit stunned.
Then he laughed and said, "This approach is more like my father. I almost suspect that after being captured by Jing Ci, you’ve changed into a different person."
Tang Peizhong was still the same Tang Peizhong, but after he realized he had lost Liu Xu, he became cautious and didn’t want to upset Liu Xu.
Now it seems, it’s all nonsense.
Tang Peizhong snorted coldly, "A man has to be a bit tough, a bit thick-skinned to win back his wife."
If you make a mistake and worry about face, overthinking things, don’t worry, your wife is likely about to have a new master.
After all, it’s not only Tang Peizhong who knows just how good Liu Xu is.
Tang Zan rubbed his chin, somewhat enlightened.
It seems that in front of a wife, face is the most useless thing.
When Tang Zan set out, it was Pei Shu’er who saw him off; Pei Shu’er felt a bit upset, as they hadn’t been apart for so long.
It’s said that the military strength of Lin State is actually about the same as that of the Gulan Military Camp, making such evenly matched battles the most time-consuming.
But now, the number of refugees is increasing, and the number of rebel army members is also growing.
She remembered there was a similar part in the original story, which took half a year to finally defeat the rebel army.
However, only the head of the bandits was captured; the others scattered and fled.
After a while, there would be a new commander, continuing to attack Lin State again.
Before, she thought this rebel army was quite capable, an unofficial organization without systematic training.
Yet it could fight back and forth with Dayan’s regular army, with victories and defeats.
Now it seems, it was entirely the result of Tang Zan’s deliberate indulgence.
The purpose was to drag things out, allowing more time to do his own things.
Even while leading troops outside, his efforts in recruiting influential courtiers never slackened.
By the time he returned, his power was at its peak.
As for Tang Peizhong, he stayed behind and launched a steady assault on Liu Xu.
He appeared in front of Liu Xu every day, adopting a slightly urgent posture, yet not to the point of overwhelming Liu Xu.
"Look at this clothes, do you like it? If not, I’ll have them made again."
Liu Xu ignored Tang Peizhong, directly turning to Pei Shu’er to speak.
"Shu’er, the pastries you made before were really good, do you have any more?"
"Yes, mother, I’ll have someone bring them up right away."
Tang Peizhong noticed that Liu Xu’s resistance was not as severe as he had imagined, and thus he became even bolder.
His posture gradually became more assertive.
Liu Xu felt the pressure, but with such a long time, boiling the frog in warm water for so long,
the frog had long gotten used to the temperature and had no strength to jump out.
What angered Tang Peizhong was the big red wedding dress that Zhao Yu had someone send to Liu Xu.
Zhao Yu, holding Liu Xu’s hand, said excitedly, "Xuxu, marry me, I’ve been waiting for this day for so many years."
Pei Shu’er stood by Liu Xu’s side at this moment, and she clearly saw the emotions and wavering in Liu Xu’s eyes.
At this moment, Pei Shu’er’s thoughts also changed; she realized that Tang Peizhong loved Liu Xu more than Zhao Yu did.
And honestly, the child was already so grown, it wasn’t something that could be cut away easily.
Just as Liu Xu was about to nod, Tang Peizhong stepped out.
"I’m afraid I cannot fulfill your wish; Xuxu is my wife in life and in death."
"If you wish to marry, find someone else. If you can’t, our Prince Zhan Mansion has broad connections and can find a suitable lady for you."
When Tang Peizhong said this, there was a clear anger in his eyes, and if not for his good self-control, he might have really beaten Zhao Yu.
Before Zhao Yu could speak, Liu Xu glared angrily at Tang Peizhong.
"Tang Peizhong, why do you have to be so sarcastic?"
Tang Peizhong let out a cold laugh, "He covets my wife, yet I spare his life, that is the greatest mercy."
Liu Xu saw the murderous intent in Tang Peizhong’s eyes, and Pei Shu’er restrained Liu Xu’s hand, whispering in her ear.
"Mother, this matter needs careful contemplation; rushing will only have the opposite effect."
Liu Xu took a deep breath, looked at Tang Peizhong.
"Zhao Yu, you should go back first, I’ll think about our situation more."
Zhao Yu wore a bright smile on his face.
"Xuxu, I don’t mind waiting for you, as long as the end result is good, no matter how long it takes."
"I’ve waited for you for so many years, a few more years won’t matter."
Before Liu Xu could speak, Tang Peizhong let out a cold laugh.
"Scram! The only person who will grow old with Liu Xu is me."
Tang Peizhong’s demeanor was intimidating, and for the safety of both parties, Pei Shu’er had Tianyi escort Zhao Yu out.
Tang Peizhong wanted to enter the room, but Liu Xu wouldn’t let him; Pei Shu’er smiled at him.
"Father, wait until mother’s anger subsides before going in."
Tang Peizhong sighed, knowing he had overreacted earlier, though he didn’t regret it.
What he regretted was not being polite enough to Liu Xu.
He took a deep breath, tried hard to adjust his breathing, then looked at Liu Xu, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
This rough man even carefully reached out to hold Liu Xu’s hand, even shaking it a bit.
"Xuxu, don’t be angry, you should know that being with me is the most suitable choice. Didn’t you once want my affection? I’m giving it to you now, my affection, my love, they’re all yours."
Pei Shu’er could also see the humility and flattery in Tang Peizhong’s eyes.
Inadvertently, she was also stunned. When had her father-in-law ever been like this? In front of the Emperor, he also was likely a tough man.
This version of Tang Peizhong...
Truly, a macho man acting cute.
Liu Xu abruptly shook off Tang Peizhong’s hand.
"That’s enough, Tang Peizhong, can’t you understand? I no longer need your love. Either you leave here or I will, to make room for your concubine."
Liu Xu was about to walk out when Tang Peizhong suddenly embraced her tightly.
"Xuxu, don’t be angry, my mistake, all my fault, please calm down, but to ask you to marry someone else, that’s impossible unless he steps over my body."
Liu Xu’s face was unsightly, yet she was ultimately carried into the room by Tang Peizhong, who then closed the door.
Liu Xu cursed for a while then suddenly fell silent.
As for what happened afterward, Pei Shu’er knew better than to eavesdrop and decided to return to her courtyard.
Tang Zan had been gone for over a month, and she frequently received letters from him.
They spoke of nothing other than that all was well, even though the rebel army now outnumbered the Gulan Soldiers, the Gulan Soldiers were well-trained and could not be matched by the rebel army.
Pei Shu’er replied that in another month, she could go find Tang Zan.
As Pei Shu’er was about to leave, she suddenly saw Yinxing walk in. She smiled as she approached Pei Shu’er. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Princess Consort, the Seventeenth Prince has arrived."
Pei Shu’er was stunned, the Seventeenth Prince, wasn’t he Yan Huan Yu?
Why has he come?
