The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 348 - 214: Never Have I Seen Someone So Shameless
Clearly, in the honeymoon phase, the two are deeply in love, but Yelyu Lie can only hold his petite wife close to comfort her, having no other thoughts.
About midnight, the young couple finally fell asleep in each other’s arms.
However, early in the morning the next day, their door was knocked on urgently.
"Oh no, oh no! General, Madam! The Regent King from Great Xia Country has moved next door to us!"
This voice belongs to Aunt Ye.
She’s not Qiao’er, who would come and disturb without discretion.
Currently, Yun Chunnuan just reflexively shivers whenever she hears the words ’Regent King.’
Not because of what happened that night, but his style of work is unfathomable, leaving one unable to predict how mad he can be or what he’ll do next...
Smiling as he severed his own tendons, that image is deeply etched in Yun Chunnuan’s mind, it’s genuinely chilling.
But her husband’s concern isn’t wrong either; surely they can’t sacrifice so many innocent people just to send him away?
She doesn’t want to become a true Destructive Demoness, despised by all.
Though a bit frustrated, letting him stay but not living in the General Mansion is evidently the best outcome.
Yet who could have thought that the crazy antics of that madman would come again so soon!
Upon hearing Aunt Ye’s voice outside, Yun Chunnuan was instantly startled awake.
After calling Aunt Ye inside, she panted while saying, "Old servant was originally going to the streets to buy some salt, there wasn’t any in the morning to cook with, and who would’ve thought that just stepping out, I’d see that Regent King at our doorstep!
He even said he’s our neighbor now, and gave us this..."
Aunt Ye held a bouquet of delicately packaged flowers, and a small basket filled with exquisitely crafted pastries.
Yun Chunnuan felt incredulous, "How could it be? Our next-door... isn’t that the residence of the current Imperial Tutor?"
That old man was the teacher of two generations of Kings of Bianliao, who respected him deeply!
One who cherishes calligraphy as life naturally respects his teacher.
Especially Yelyu Erlun, who postures a lot.
No matter if he personally seized the throne from the former king, he must still act with hypocritical filial piety.
Even accepted the concubines of the former emperor along with them.
Under the guise of taking care of the widows for his father, but in fact, he’s overwhelmed by lust for them.
Yet he postures to be a filial and obedient descendant, respecting and valuing his teacher.
In the court, he may shout and command other ministers, but he always shows kindness and fakes sincerity to the Imperial Tutor, so how could he possibly drive out a respected teacher for Great Xia Country’s envoy?
If word spreads, wouldn’t his years of pretentiousness become a joke?
Yelyu Lie doesn’t believe it.
After questioning, he let Aunt Ye leave.
He then comforts his little wife, "Nuannuan, rest assured, my father, the King, no matter how idiotic, wouldn’t personally destroy his own... how do you call it? Image?"
"He painstakingly crafted this image for so many years, unless that madman promises to give him Great Xia Country, that’s the only possibility."
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
She didn’t have such thick skin to think she had such allure that the madman would trade a nation to become her neighbor.
However!
No matter how ridiculous something is, if he does it, it’s not surprising.
"Husband, maybe..."
"Nuannuan, do not worry. I swear on my own head, you can rest a bit more while I’ll go have a look."
To swear on one’s own head...
Though she felt the King was unreliable, Yun Chunnuan trusted her husband.
It might have just been a dozen minutes, when the man returned in fury.
He kicked the door shut and stormed back to the bed.
Yun Chunnuan saw his expression and felt a sinking in her heart, "The King didn’t really... drive the Imperial Tutor away, did he?"
"No." Yelyu Lie smiled.
Yun Chunnuan was just relieved when he said, "It’s the Imperial Tutor who decided to move out himself. Last night..."
"What?! So you’re saying... the madman still moved next to the General Mansion?"
"Hmm... he somehow managed to charm the Imperial Tutor into willingly giving up the house."
Yelyu Lie didn’t explicitly say that because of his grand wedding ceremony with his little wife, he angered a bunch of court ministers.
They felt it was too extravagant; since he’s been in Bianliao for a year, a ceremony would suffice, but it shouldn’t strain resources extravagantly!
The opposition came mostly from Prime Minister Ba and the Imperial Tutor.
The Prime Minister had Ba Yaoyao on his side, which helped a bit, but the Imperial Tutor was completely furious and moved out of the neighboring house in anger on the day of the wedding.
Moreover, the Imperial Tutor long appreciated Ying Ce, and the King of Bianliao dared not do this, hence it was resolved.
Yun Chunnuan was nearly faint with anger.
She threw back the covers to get up, but Yelyu Lie pulled her slender waist, "What are you doing?"
"To make him leave! I’ve never seen someone so shameless!"
"Don’t go. The more you show emotion in front of him, the happier he is; the best way is to ignore him, pretend he doesn’t exist. If he shamelessly shows up..."
’Knock knock knock——’
The door was knocked again, and Qiao’er’s voice sounded outside, combining panic with delight, "Princess, Princess, Little Prince is here!"
Yesterday Ying Ce severed his own tendons, scaring everyone, including Qiao’er.
But she truly couldn’t resist this fairy-like beautiful Little Prince!
He flashed her a gentle smile, and Qiao’er became dumbfounded...
Looking back at the courtyard where the fairy in white stood, his smiling demeanor, how could it be so charming!
