Chapter 303
“No wonder the Head of the Yun Family didn’t vote for Shen Qingli at that time! Although the Yun Family abstained, she is the partner of Young Master Yun. Not voting for her indirectly shows that the Yun Family supports Shen Tang more privately, right p>
“Now that you mention it, that’s really possible. If I were the old Head of the Yun Family, I would definitely want Yun Han to marry Shen Tang p>
Shen Qingli heard these gossiping whispers and was so angry that she almost burst with fury, wishing she could tear these two bastards apart!
She hurried to Shen Tang’s home, determined to catch the adulterer red-handed and expose Shen Tang’s scandal!
On the other side, Yun Han also woke up from his hangover.
After drinking the hangover soup, his head wasn’t so dizzy. Learning about his behavior last night made him extremely guilty.
A married male sleeping at another female’s house was bad for both their reputations.
After Yun Han apologized, he left.
He had just walked a few steps out the door when he ran into Shen Qingli charging over with a crowd, including several reporters with long and short guns, unsure which media they belonged to.
Yun Han was surprised and hadn’t had time to speak before hearing the female’s angry voice, “How dare you two fornicate while I’m not around, it disgusts me! I want to expose Shen Tang’s actions! She seduces other males! She’s unfit to be the Monarch p>
Xiao Jin and his group heard the commotion at the door, came over, and cursed under their breath, “What madness is this female up to again p>
Yun Han’s face turned grim as he rushed forward to lift Shen Qingli horizontally, looking guiltily at Shen Tang who had come out, “Sorry for the disturbance, I’ll take her away now p>
Saying that, he turned to the group of reporters eager to watch the scene and angrily shouted, “Get lost, all of you p>
The reporters were frightened and quickly packed up their equipment. They initially wanted to capture some shocking drama, but in the end got nothing, dismissed as a mere scare, and dispersed out of boredom.
Yun Han didn’t want to embarrass himself publicly, and hastily left with Shen Qingli.
Along the way, Shen Qingli was struggling desperately, “Put me down p>
Causing passersby on the road to glance curiously at the two, wondering what was happening.
Yun Han’s forehead veins jumped, his face turning dark, gritting his teeth and muttering in a low voice, “Stop messing around p>
Shen Qingli was so angry that she fiercely bit his shoulder.
Yun Han grunted, his face turning even uglier, having to walk into a deserted corner to put her down, coldly questioning, “What on earth do you want p>
“You’ve got the nerve to ask me what I want?” Shen Qingli was so angry that her face turned red, “You and I are married, yet you dare to cozy up to Shen Tang behind my back, secretly liaising with that bitch. What kind of enchanting soup did she give you to make you remember her so fondly p>
She inadvertently voiced her inner thoughts directly, but overwhelmed with anger, she couldn’t care less.
Yun Han was incredulous upon hearing her call Shen Tang a bitch, angrily saying, “How… can you say that about her? How can you say such nasty things p>
Shen Qingli was even more furious, sarcastically laughing, “Why, does it hurt when I talk about that bitch like that p>
Yun Han staggered back two steps, his face pale, shaking his head lightly, only finding the female before him so unfamiliar it scared him.
Shen Qingli continued to question incessantly.
Yun Han clenched his fists tight, his knuckles pale, the veins in his arms twitching.
He forcefully suppressed his anger, his voice low and hoarse, I’ve got nothing with her, don’t dwell on it, okay p>
“Don’t dwell on it? Then what did you go to her house for last night? It’s spread everywhere outside! I waited for you at home all night and you never came back! You were with her last night, you slept with that bitch, didn’t you?” Shen Qingli was increasingly losing control.
Yun Han’s fury sank as he looked at her, his chest heaving violently, unsure how to explain, lamenting, “Is that what you think of me p>
He tugged at his lips, issuing a short laugh, a look of desolation, “Fine, you want to know what happened last night, I’ll tell you, I drank a bit, unexpectedly got drunk, they had no choice but to let me stay to rest, tidying up an empty room for me, I spent the night at her house, but nothing happened between us, don’t believe those rumors outside p>
But Shen Qingli didn’t believe him at all, “Why go to her house late at night and drink? With whom? If you truly have nothing to hide, why not let me bring people in? People say that within the Imperial City Military Camp, you delivered things to her several times, are these things also false p>
Yun Han felt increasingly helpless amid her questioning. The relationship between her and the Future Emperor was so strained, wasn’t he trying to apologize on her behalf? Why doesn’t she believe him?
He closed his eyes then opened them again, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his voice growing hoarse, “Yes, I am grateful to Shen Tang, she saved me and my father, helped the Yun Family! So I wanted to send gifts in gratitude! I also wanted to apologize on your behalf p>
“But my relationship with her ends here, the one I married is you, the one I love is only you, I won’t love anyone else p>
“Then prove it to me.” Shen Qingli’s eyes were red, tears welling up, she grabbed his arm with a firm attitude, “I want to renew our wedding, I want you to declare in front of everyone that you love me p>
Yun Han was stunned, deeply furrowing his brow, “Haven’t we already had a wedding p>
“That doesn’t count. Our wedding was ruined. I want to renew it.” She added, “The wedding must be completed before the succession ceremony p>
She wants the world to know that Yun Han belongs only to her.
Yun Han heard Shen Qingli’s absurd words and felt she was increasingly unreasonable, speaking impatiently, “We’ve already had a wedding, there’s no need to renew now, it’ll only waste resources and might displease the citizens p>
Shen Qingli saw his unwillingness; her previously calm emotions were once again shattered, “You’re not the same as before, you don’t even want to fulfill this simple wish for me? I’ve slept with you, you’re mine, what’s wrong with wanting to renew the wedding and make up for the regret p>
Yun Han stood rigid, long and silent, slowly loosening his tightly clenched hands, speechless.
She was right; they had already been intimate; he had to take responsibility for her.
He was destined to be with her for a lifetime. Having just fought yesterday, he didn’t want to end up unhappy over this matter again.
In the end, Yun Han compromised.
“Fine, I agree to renew the wedding, but organizing a wedding on short notice involves many things, I need to go to my father to discuss it p>
Shen Qingli was relieved upon hearing his answer; as long as they exchanged heirlooms after the wedding, there would be nothing to worry about anymore. Otherwise, it always felt like a needle was hanging over her head, leaving her restless.
When Head of Yun Family Yun Hong heard of this matter, he inwardly cursed: Ridiculous!
The Empire just experienced turmoil, is in ruins, many citizens still displaced, why insist on renewing the wedding now? What kind of logic is this?
Isn’t this deliberately causing trouble?
If the citizens of the Empire saw this, they would surely curse the Yun Family for lavishness and waste, stirring public anger!
Yun Hong originally just thought Shen Qingli lacked talent compared to Shen Tang, not competent enough for major responsibilities, but he had no real criticism of her as a daughter-in-law – beautiful, gentle, and sensible. Even if she didn’t become the Future Emperor, she was still worthy of his son.
But after today, he was utterly angered, regretting so much his intestines twisted.
How foolish it was to have Yun Han betroth her back then!
Yun Hong was so frustrated his hair turned white, thinking further about the current situation, his heart heavy with knots.
As he pondered back and forth, he suddenly recalled that when the wedding was disrupted, Yun Han hadn’t given Shen Qingli the family’s heirloom.
Theoretically, they weren’t truly married; the Yun Family could still call off the engagement!
Maybe Yun Han wouldn’t agree, but as the current Head of the Yun Family, he still had this authority!
Yun Hong decided to personally go find Shen Qingli.
To call off the engagement!
