Black Belly Wife

Chapter 114



Chapter 114

Continued From The Previous Chapter

King Chu crumbled into his chair with a loud bang and a look of disbelief on his face. He had been tricked from his head to his back by a little girl! First, she met his ruse with another by coercing the wealthy merchants into drinking the poisoned wine. Then she helped him talk to the wealthy merchants until they all rode on the tiger, making it hard for them to get off. And finally, Chu Changge put his hand on his antidote......

Wonderful, just wonderful! No wonder Hua Yeli would do anything just to get his hand on her! It was so well thought out that it made him ashamed of being inferior. Even though she was clever, he wasn't stupid either! The King of Chu suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Do you think you can still get out of this door after tearing this Wang's face off?"

As soon as the words left his mouths, countless archers immediately appeared from outside the door. Their arrows were already put on the bows string, which led the couple into a situation where a hundred weight was hanging by a hair.

As Murong Yunshu saw this scene, her heart sank. She quietly grabbed Chu Changge's hand, looking sideways at him with worry in her eyes.

Chu Changge clasped her five fingers back, gave her a 'reassuring' look, then looked at King Chu with a straight face and questioned, "Do you think you can block my way with them only?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Who doesn't know what sort of person Leader Chu is? Of course they can't do it alone." Before the voice hardly finished speaking, a man in a long coat stood in front of the door.

"It's Third Older Brother!" Hua Ziqing exclaimed, with a complicated look in his eyes.

With this shout from Hua Ziqing, a winning smile appeared on King Chu's face as he said, "Yun-er, you have finally caught up and did not let this Wang down." His voice was incomparably kind.

Hua Ziyun replied, "This son has not failed his mission in inviting Leader Fang to come here." After he had finished saying this, he stepped sideways. The one standing behind him was none other than Fang Hongfei, the Great Leader of Martial Arts.

Enemies were bound to meet head-on on a narrow road. Murong Yunshu sighed in her heart, "Father, father, there are so many men in the world. Why did you have to pick this scum? Do you know that your mistake in the first place has hurt your daughter? If I could turn back time, I would have wished that I had never crossed paths with him even once."

Unlike Murong Yunshu, who was having trouble with Fang Hongfei's appearance, Chu Changge was quite happy to see it happen. Since Fang Hongfei had come to him automatically, it saved him the trouble of looking for him.

"Yunshu, we've met again." Fang Hongfei greeted her as his eyes shone with a mixture of love and hate feelings. If he had known earlier that she was not just a spoiled young lady who only knew how to dissipate her family fortune but was a young mistress with a nature of fragrant orchid and the heart of the noble orchid, moreover, a highly intelligent and a genius when it came to business, he would not have abandoned her in the first place. In the end, she still hid too deeply, not letting him see her true side even once. Thus, he could not be blamed for being heartless then. If Chu Changge hadn't messed with her, she would have returned to his embrace, and the Murong Mansion would have belonged to the Fang a long time ago!

It was all because of that devil Chu Changge! If it wasn't for him, how could Yunshu have been so heartless towards him! The more he heard of her, the more he felt that she was his ideal wife, the only one who was qualified to stand by his side. [T/N]

"Yunshu, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you come back to me, I can forget about the past, and we can start over from scratch." Fang Hongfei offered with a sincere face.

In response to Fang Hongfei's revelation of his true feelings, Murong Yunshu could only feel amused. "Leader Fang, I think you may not have understood that you and I have never started, let alone start from scratch. Besides, you are broad-minded, while I am small-minded. You can ignore past grudges, but I cannot help myself from settling old scores. So, you might as well stick to your principles and stand against me as my enemy, or you'll find that I'm actually a hard person to handle."

After hearing what she just said, his expression became livid. He stared at Murong Yunshu for a long time before squeezing a sentence out of his teeth, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Murong Yunshu responded, "I have never touched a drop of wine, whether it was for a toast or a punishment wine. Leader Fang should keep the wine for yourself and drink it slowly."

"You......" Her words suffocated Fang Hongfei. His fists secretly clenched and ready to strike.

For Chu Changge, there was nothing more enjoyable than watching Murong Yunshu taunt his rival in love. Therefore, at this moment, he was in a relatively good mood. "This certain Chu has a question to ask Leader Fang." Chu Changge smiled and spoke leisurely.

Fang Hongfei snorted coldly and said, "There is nothing to talk about between you and me."

"I agree with that, but this matter is not between you and me." Chu Changge smiled. "I just want to ask Leader Fang why some people are extraordinarily fond of things like making fools of themselves?"

Fang Hongfei snorted heavily again and answered angrily, "How should I know!"

"I see that you seem to be well versed in this matter." With the mentality of 'words could piss people to death', Chu Changge continued, "Could it be that all those self-defeating acts of yours are subconscious? I've heard of those who were born stupid. But I've never heard of those who were born shameless!"

Fang Hongfei's face was getting even uglier as his breathing went heavier over time, but he still held back his anger and did not flare-up. Lack of patients in small matters would destroy his overall plan. He could not get angry. The moment he did, he would expose his weakness and allow them to take advantage of it. "Only a villain like you will be quick on the uptake." He reacted coldly.

Chu Changge replied with a smile. "That's right. This certain Chu is a villain. So, it is extremely convenient for him to do things that will hurt people with his secret arrows."

Before Fang Hongfei could react to the meaning of these words, he heard Hua Ziyun beside him, let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

"Third Older Brother!" Hua Ziqing exclaimed and immediately ran to pick Hua Ziyun up.

"Bu" Hua Ziyun spat out a mouthful of blood, which was black in colour.

"Third Older Brother, are you all right?" Hua Ziqing used one side of his body to support the shaking Hua Ziyun while facing Chu Changge, "He has no enmity with you. Why do you want to hurt him with your secret arrow?"

"Because I am a villain. It would be unworthy of my name if I didn't hurt others with my secret arrows." Chu Changge answered with an expressionless face.

"You're not!" Hua Ziqing shook his head desperately. His young and boyish face full of stubbornness and certainty. "We're friends. I know you're not that kind of person. Absolutely not!"

Faced with Hua Ziqing's almost caustic trust, Chu Changge's eyes flashed a trace of emotion, but it quickly disappeared into coldness again. "You are not qualified to be my friend." He said.

Hearing these words, Hua Ziqing was stunned. His pair of clear eyes filled with hurt, as he was unable to accept the reality.

Murong Yunshu was not a soft-hearted person, especially towards her enemies. However, at this moment, seeing Hua Ziqing's expression, she could not help but feel sympathy towards him. Not many people could have such a pair of pure eyes in an Imperial family, and she did not want to see these eyes being defeated by reality at such a young age. "It is because your Third Older Brother has no enmity with us that Chu Changge wants to hurt him." Murong Yunshu explained.

"Why?" Hua Ziqing didn't understand.

Rather than answering his question, Murong Yunshu asked him instead, "If it were you, what would you do if someone who had no grudge against you brought people to besiege you?"

"Kill him......" Hua Ziqing suddenly realised. Then he looked at Chu Changge in shock and begged, "Third Older Brother was just confused for a moment. Please spare his life."

"I'm just afraid that he wasn't the only one who was momentarily confused." Chu Changge gave King Chu a cold look and added, "I don't want to take his life either. For such a worthless life, it will only lower my status if I just take it."

Hua Ziqing was relieved to hear that his older brother's life was not in danger. After thanking Chu Changge, he helped Hua Ziyun into a room.

Unlike the rest of the people present, Fang Hongfei's concern was not for Hua Ziyun's life but Chu Changge's martial arts skills. "I haven't seen you for three months. I didn't expect your martial arts to improve so quickly." He said.

Chu Changge laughed lightly, with a look of mockery on his face. "There are so many things that you won't expect from me."

"Is that so?" Fang Hongfei laughed coldly. "Even if your martial arts skills have improved greatly, but at this moment, under the heavy siege of the archers, how confident are you that you can escape with her unscathed?"

Fang Hongfei did not exaggerate. Even though Chu Changge's martial arts skills were high, he was only one man with only a pair of eyes. With Murong Yunshu's safety in his mind, he could not fight with Fang Hongfei on one side and still be on guard for when the archers on all sides would shoot their arrows.

However, Chu Changge was such a smart person. How could he overlook what Fang Hongfei was currently thinking of?

"And how confident are you that you can make the King Chu stand firm in fighting against me?" Chu Changge spoke carelessly. There was a touch of untouchable arrogance on the corners of his mouth as his sharp eyes looked at King Chu with a smirk.

Fang Hongfei also looked at King Chu, hoping to get some signals to confirm that they were still cooperating.

King Chu avoided the two men's gaze and hesitated.

Hua Ziqing urged, "Father, what are you still hesitating about? Third Older Brother is now suffering from severe poison, and he is vomiting blood. Without an antidote, he will have no choice but to die!"

"Yun-er......" King Chu raised his eyes to Hua Ziyun. His eyes were full of struggle.

With just this one glance, Murong Yunshu's heart sank. She secretly squeezed Chu Changge's hand and locked eyes with him: this path would not work.

As expected, soon after, King Chu said, "Yun-er, Chu Changge is a great devil and a scourge to the Daye Dynasty. If we don't get rid of him today, I'm afraid we'll never have another chance in the future. You......you should consider this as a sacrifice for your country." After saying that, he turned his head to the side and no longer looking at Hua Ziyun and Hua Ziqing.

Fang Hongfei breathed a huge sigh of relief and said in a loud voice, "Your Highness sincerely understands the important principles thoroughly. This Fang truly admire you!"

What did he mean by 'understanding the important principles thoroughly'? His shamelessness surprisingly has no bottom line. Murong Yunshu laughed coldly in her heart.

Chu Changge laughed out loud as he commented, "Your Highness is willing to sacrifice your son's life to get rid of this great devil. I am flattered! I have met countless 'righteous people' since I started wreaking havoc in the jianghu, and I have also met those who do not take their own lives seriously. But this is the first time I have met someone like you who does not take your son's life seriously. I've learned a lot."

King Chu's face was like performing a magic trick. It turned green for a while before changing to white, which was very lively.

Hua Ziqing questioned loudly, "Father, Chu Changge has no enmity with our Chu family. Is it worth sacrificing the life of Third Older Brother just to kill him?"

"Shut up!" King Chu scolded. "Take your Third Older Brother away."

"Father......"

"Go away!"

Hua Ziqing had no choice but to take Hua Ziyun away.

"There is no need to feel guilty, Your Highness. There are still three sons left after the death of one. Even if all four dies, as long as Your Highness doesn't die, Your Highness can still reproduce again. But there is only one throne, and if Your Highness loses this chance, there is no second chance. So, Your Highness' choice is wise." The person who said this was Murong Yunshu.

Therefore, there was only one colour left on King Chu's face currentlywhich was deathly pale.
