Chapter 602 - Jealousy, Ling Mingyans Anger (2/2)

Princess Caifeng blushed, lowered her head, and anxiously replied, “Many thanks, King Yan.” When she saw that King Yan did not intend to take advantage of her, she started to take a liking to him.

“Your Highness, please.” Feng Yulei tactfully stopped talking and pointed at the path. Unwilling to bring up the topic again, Princess Caifeng took a few hurried steps forward and then felt that she was too anxious. She stopped and said to Feng Yulei, “King Yan, please.”

“Your Highness, you don’t have to be so polite. Let’s go together!” Feng Yulei smiled and took a few steps forward. He was walking side by side with Princess Caifeng this time. The two chatted and laughed as they walked into the depths of the trees. From afar, one could see that the man was tall and handsome and the woman was pet.i.te and exquisite. They were very well-matched. The two spoke with each other every now and then and seemed even more harmonious.

“Younger Sister, are… are you just going to stand by and watch?” In a distant pavilion, You Yue’e looked at the two figures who slowly disappeared from her sight. She could not hide the pain in her eyes. She bit her lips, but there was no other way. King Yan needed the help of Princess Caifeng and the Southern Barbarian Lands. She could only give way to him.

“Smack!” There was a loud thump on the table. Ling Mingyan, who was sitting beside her, had long been angry. She had always been arrogant and had never suffered such a grievance. She said, “Younger Sister, you should go down and slap that s.l.u.t. She has just met King Yan but she’s already seducing him. If she really enters the manor in the future, she won’t let you live.”

Ling Mingyan looked indignant as well as sorry for her younger sister. She stood up, grabbed You Yue’e’s hand, and tried to drag her out. “Let’s go. I’ll help you vent your anger.”

“Elder Sister-in-law, don’t do that. It’s okay. His Highness has promised me that he won’t let me give up my position as the first consort. I am still Consort Yan, she… she is at most a co-wife.” You Yue’e struggled hard, but since she was not as strong as Ling Mingyan, she was dragged straight to the door and had to shout with tears in her eyes.

Ling Mingyan’s anger didn’t drain, but when she saw that You Yue’e was unwilling to go with her, she could not drag her on any longer. She let her go and said hatefully, “How dare he ask you to give up the position of the first consort?”

“His Highness did not. He truly loves me and the baby in my belly, and truly cares for me and the baby,” You Yue’e explained, but two teardrops fell down from the corners of her eyes. If they were okay, who would want another woman to enter the manor? Furthermore, the woman was obviously not easy to get along with and was of equal status with her. She did not know what would happen in the future. You Yue’e felt her heart twinge with pain when she saw the two of them hugged each other even though that was their plan.

But she did not dare to ruin Feng Yulei’s plans!

“He truly cares for you? He has just been released, but he is hooking up with the s.l.u.t from the Southern Barbarian Lands. You can tell with a glance that it’s not good. Younger Sister, you have to make plans early. Don’t let her push you away. With King Yan’s one word, her son could inherit his position. Where are you going to cry then?”

With a dark expression, Ling Mingyan looked at You Yue’e who sat back in the chair and cried and said angrily. She really liked this younger sister of You Yuecheng’s. Hearing that You Yue’e was pregnant, she hurried over to visit her. Unexpectedly, she saw this scene, which made her so vexed that her face darkened.

“Sister-in-law, that won’t happen. His Highness has promised me,” You Yue’e uttered in a low voice as she wiped her tears with her handkerchief.

“What’s the use of his promise? When you married him, didn’t he promise you that he would never get a high-ranking concubine? What are all these concubines then? He has two second consorts before, and now he is even going to have a co-wife. The co-wife’s son will also be the legitimate son. How can you make your child the legal heir by right and t.i.tle in the future? Besides, she is so seductive that she dares to flirt with King Yan in the main hall. It is obvious that she is a restless woman. What are you going to do in the future?”

Ling Mingyan held You Yue’e’s hand and sincerely persuaded her.

These words actually spoke You Yue’e’s mind. In the main hall today, she had been thinking about this question over and over again. If Feng Yulei really ascended the throne one day and Princess Caifeng also had a son with him, would he pa.s.s the thron to her son or to Princess Caifeng’s son? If he again said that he had no choice then, would she have to give her position to that woman and her son’s position to that woman’s son?

Thinking of this, she was suddenly overwhelmed by sorrow. She covered her mouth with the handkerchief and sobbed with grievance.

Ling Mingyan sighed and advised, “So, you have to drive her away when there’s nothing else happening yet, instead of helping them.”

“I… I can’t do this… His Highness, His Highness has no choice!” You Yue’e cried helplessly and shook her head. If she had a way, she would not give her man to another woman.

“You…” Ling Mingyan was so furious. Even at this point, You Yue’e was still thinking for Feng Yulei. Ling Mingyan turned livid with rage. “Younger Sister, have you thought it through? Something will happen in the future. You can think about it first. You can come to me after you figure out what to do. I’ll go back.”

She had always been straightforward and would do whatever she wanted. What You Yue’e did had obviously p.i.s.sed her off. Without another word for You Yue’e, she took her maidservant downstairs, ignoring the call of You Yue’e from behind her. As soon as she reached the first floor, she made her way to the front door, ready to return to her manor. She was suffocated by anger.

That woman was just a princess from a small country. As You Yue’e had the support of Duke Ding and Mingguo Manor, how could she not be comparable to a princess from a small country?

She had wanted to back You Yue’e up. However, she was cross with her hesitation. In a fit of rage, she took her people and went back to the manor in her carriage. You Yue’e called after her a few times, but as Ling Mingyan did not stop, she gave up.
