Chapter 847 - Will Not Take a Wife for Life (1/2)
Xi Jin clenched his fists and then slowly walked toward Shen Yunya. He stood in front of her and held her wrist to take the dagger from her. He reached out to pull her into his arms and said, “I believe you. This has nothing to do with Dai’er.”
Because she did not deserve to bring up Dai’er!
“Big Brother Jin.” Shen Yunya leaned into his embrace and broke down, sobbing bitterly. Her shoulders heaved. It was enough that Big Brother Jin was willing to believe her. She did not need to care about other people’s words.
Xi Jin dropped his gaze and held back the hate in his eyes as he gently said to her, “Leave the matter to me. Since you and I have the relations of a husband and wife, I will never let you down.”
Shen Yunya nodded in tears and said, “Okay. I’ll listen to Big Brother Jin.”
Xi Jin let go of her and pulled her along to go down on their knees. He said, “Imperial Grandmother, I believe her, so I want to take her as my secondary consort. Imperial Grandmother, please grant me my request.”
“Crown Prince….” Luo Shiyun was very anxious. But her mother did not let her talk, so she could only stamp her feet fretfully and then cry.
The Empress Dowager’s face was gloomy as her icy eyes fell upon Shen Yunya. She spoke in a cold voice, saying, “She has drugged you and came to you as a fallen woman. Just based on that, it is enough to wipe out her family clan. Yet, you want to confer her as a consort?”
Xi Jin bowed and said very firmly, “Yes. I want her and none other.”
“What if I forbid it?” The Empress Dowager’s gaze turned to Xi Jin. Seeing him bowing and pleading, her disgust with Shen Yunya became deeper.
That was her good grandson. When had he ever been schemed against? And now, furthermore, he was bowing and begging for such a dirty woman. It was Shen Yunya’s fault that her good grandson had become this way.
“In that case, I will not take a wife for life,” Xi Jin said firmly. There was a hint of a threat in his words.
