Life is short, I should enjoy the present. Why should I wrong myself?
The air seemed to freeze.
Xie Changgeng’s face was a little ugly, but after a moment he returned to normal.
He got up and straightened his clothes.
He didn’t sit on the couch again, and the tone of his speech did not show the slightest anger. He didn’t seem to mind the wanton and offensive behaviour she had inflicted on him just now.
“You ought to be angry.”
“During the six months that you came to my Xie family, it was extremely hard for you to serve my mother every day. Although my mother’s original intention is to repay the kindness of the deceased, it is indeed inappropriate of her to take matters into her own hands and intend to take a concubine for me.”
“Xie Changgeng, you are overthinking!”
Mu Fulan interrupted him and climbed down from the beauty couch and slipped on a pair of delicate shoes embroidered with orchids that were on the floor. Under his gaze, she walked to the mirror and sat on a chair.
She held a tortoiseshell comb, she looked into the mirror and combed her long hair which he had just messed up, and said, “I am neither virtuous nor reasonable. The reason why I served your mother before was because I followed my fathers teaching. I thought that after marrying, even if I did not want to, I still have to do my duty. That is all.”
Xie Changgeng watched her for a moment, walked behind her and stared at the delicate face in the mirror. He said, “Mu shi, what exactly do you want before you are willing to come back with me?”
When he said these words, his tone was no longer as gentle as before.
Mu Fulan’s hand that was holding the comb stopped.
She also raised her eyes and looked at the man in the mirror who was standing behind her with his eyes fixed on her.
She sensed that he was beginning to lose his patience.
A smile appeared on her lips.
“Xie Lang, you are clearly dissatisfied with me in your heart, why do you have to be insincere? Wouldn’t it be better to direct and say the words clearly?”
Xie Changgeng looked at her expressionlessly.
She put down her comb, stood up from the mirror and turned to face him.
“Since you have asked directly, I will also be blunt with you. I am not returning to your Xie family. I married you because of my fathers wish. Now I have changed my mind. “
“Life is too short, I should enjoy the present. Why should I wrong myself?”
An imperceptible look of surprise swept across Xie Changgeng’s face.
He stared at her and his expression gradually became stern.
“Mu shi, allow me to remind you that the marriage was originally agreed by your father. During these years, I have never broken my promise. Even though my mother has offended you, the matter was not accomplished. I have also apologised to you and made you a promise. Yet, your brother and you are going back on your words, and want to break the contract for no reason, behaving childishly. Do you think I, Xie Changgeng, will let you both create difficulties for me?”
When he finished speaking, he seemed to be aware of his own loss of composure and when he spoke again, his tone softened.
“Mu shi, you are now sixteen years old right? You are young and ignorant which is pardonable. Who is more reliable and trusted by the people of Changsha, your father or your brother, you should be clear in your heart. When the marriage contract was first made, your brother was prejudiced against me and he now must be persuading you to break the contract. But think, no matter how good your brother is, can you, a woman, rely on him for the rest of your life?”
“You should listen to your father’s arrangement and go back with me. I will not treat you badly in the future.”
Mu Fulan looked at the man in front of her who was patiently coaxing her, and her heart was filled with emotions.
If she hadn’t been married to him and knew exactly what kind of person he was, what woman would be able to remain steadfast and unmoved in the face of such a gentleman?
She shook her head and a pair of small red coral earrings on her white earlobes also swayed, visible between the strands of hair hanging down from her shoulders.
“You do not have to use my father to pressure me. Let me ask you, what was the purpose of your marriage proposal at the beginning? Has your purpose been achieved? Now that your purpose has been achieved, this marriage with Changsha will no longer be your responsibility. In other words, it has already lost its original value, so why do you insist on not letting go?”
Xie Changgeng said nothing.
“I really want to believe that you are trying to keep the promise you made with my father back then. But the real reason, you yourself know better than I do.”
“Because of this marriage contract, my father achieved what he wanted and it has benefited the people of Changsha. You, moreover, have profited immensely from it. If it were not for my father’s appreciation, with your status as a bandit, how could you have successfully entered the official career and subsequently gain the opportunity to soar to greatness?”
“Both you and my father, because of this marriage, have each gained something. But what about me? Who among you has ever thought about me?”
She stared at the man in front of her.
“Xie Changgeng, let me be honest with you, when you came to propose for marriage that day, I actually already had a man in mind. He is the kindest person with the nicest smile in the world. But you came to ask for marriage and my father promised me to you for the sake of Changsha.”
Xie Changgeng seemed to be stunned, his brows slightly wrinkled.
Mu Fulan smiled self-deprecatingly.
“I am the princess, I have my responsibilities, I cannot refuse, I have to agree.”
“But now, I have changed my mind. I have done what I should do for Changsha, moving forward, it is time to think for myself. I dare not claim credit, but I did help you in the beginning and you should not deny this. I hope that today, you can fulfill my wish. If so, I am grateful.”
Xie Changgeng’s expression was a little stiff, he stared at her and did not speak.
Mu Fulan also stopped talking.
The room fell silent and the atmosphere was a little stifling.
“We’ll talk about this later. For now, you’d better go back with me first!”
After a long while, he finally spoke, coldly.
“When will that be?” Mu Fulan asked him.
He did not respond.
“Is it until the day you reach the summit of your achievement?” (the throne)
Xie Changgeng’s expression changed slightly. He suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on one of her shoulders.
As if a heavy burden was placed on her, Mu Fulan’s body tilted, and she fell onto the carpet in front of the mirror box.
He followed, and slowly squatted down in front of her.
“Mu shi, what were you talking about just now?”
“Where did you hear this?”
His tone was very gentle, as if he were coaxing a child, but that hand never left her and followed the path from her shoulders to the side of her neck.
His fingertips with thin calluses gently rubbed her tender and smooth skin.
“Tell me.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring into Mu Fulan’s eyes. The hand suddenly increased its strength and gripped her slender neck.
As if a swan who was about have its neck be broken by a hunter, Mu Fulan passively raised her head, but did not struggle. She just looked at his two gloomy eyes and smiled.
“Xie Changgeng, could it be that you want to kill me because of my guess?”
Xie Changgeng slowly released the five fingers that were clamped around her neck.
Mu Fulan frowned, brushed his hand away, stroked her neck and put back the shawl that had just slipped down, she said, “You have achieved your purpose of marrying me. This marriage has lost its importance, and is of little value. You have tolerated insult and turned the other cheek, you have endured my brother’s humiliation and want to forcibly take me back. If it is not for that, what else could it be for?”
“Now you are considered one of the most important figures in the court. With your position today, if you still have some plans, what is left is that seat. It’s so simple, it’s not hard to guess?”
Xie Changgeng stood up and said coldly, “Mu shi, I have seen many people who are smart, and those people, often do not end up well. I don’t want you to end up like that.
“I cannot help your wilful nature on the matter of marriage. You are already my wife and since I’m here, you have to return with me. As for what you think…”
He paused.
“In the future, depending on the situation, I will decide for myself.”
Mu Fulan followed him and stood up from the felt.
“After all said and done, why are you still so stubborn? If it is really inconvenient for outsiders to know, why don’t you and I compromise? I can hide it for the time being, and my brother and sister-in-law will not leak half a word. In the future, you can go you own way while I will stay in Changsha and claim to be recuperating from my illness.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t care what you want, it has nothing to do with me. Like you said, it’s just a wild guess. I certainly want to separate from you, but I am not foolish enough to make an enemy for Changsha.”
Xie Changgeng’s eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer her words.
“There’s one thing that you don’t know yet, and I don’t want to hide it from you anymore.”
Mu Fulan took a deep breath.
“I’ve been with other men before and no longer clean.”
Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about a perfectly ordinary matter.
The corners of Xie Changgeng’s eyes twitched slightly and a haze suddenly appeared in his eyes.
She did not seem to be aware of it, instead, she smiled, her smile was absolutely beautiful.
“I have heard that men can endure the humiliation for the sake of their ambition. Xie Lang, I have told you this private matter that even my parents and family members do not know and I will not hide it. If you can even understand this, If you can even understand this and let me continue to be your wife and serve your mother, then I will have nothing to say and go back with you.”
After she finished speaking, she walked past him, returned to the beauty couch. Legs bent and knees together, sitting as when he had first came in, she sat with her chin slightly raised, looking at him.
The room was quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xie Changgeng stood there for a moment, then suddenly walked towards her.
He walked to the beauty couch, stared at Mu Fulan coldly, bent down, stretched out a hand and explored the bottom of her pomegranate skirt.
Mu Fulan remained seated, motionless and slowly closed her eyes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
