Chapter 273: Driving a Wedge Between Them
They were all on Tu Xiupei’s side and refused to listen to a word she said. Tu Xiuyu was determined to make sure they regretted this. If she couldn’t get her way, then none of them could either.
Si Rong behaved as if he weren’t a part of this. He didn’t tell Tu Xiupei what Tu Xiuyu had told him. Firstly, it couldn’t possibly be true. Secondly, it didn’t do either of them any good to mention it, so he just pretended like he’d never heard it.
Tu Xiupei put down the bowl in her hand and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. “Third Prince, I’m done eating and will take my leave. You’d better console my sister. Since, back then, you two...”
Si Rong hurriedly stood up and chased after her, anxiously explaining, “Pei’er, I’ve already explained to you about my relationship with Third Miss. Everything I did was for your sake, and I had no relations with her.”
Tu Xiupei didn’t say anything further. She just gently bit her lower lip and continued walking. Si Rong followed behind her and repeated his explanation over and over.
Tu Xiang and Xu Jiayi couldn’t even be bothered with them. One was busy thinking about how to take back Feng Clan and the Feng family treasure, while the other was thinking about how to get that person to kill Tu Xiang. This husband and wife were no longer genuine with one another.
“Pei’er, what must I do to convince you that I’m serious about you?” Si Rong hastened his steps and tugged at Tu Xiupei. He’d explained so much that his throat was dry, but she still hadn’t said a single word.
Tu Xiupei lowered her head and let him hang onto her sleeve. “My sister likes you very much. Don’t let her down.”
“That’s her business. It has nothing to do with me. The one I like is you.” Si Rong was so frustrated that he kicked aside the stones on the road. He felt that Tu Xiuyu should go and die.
“My sister likes you very much. As her older sister, I should give in to her. Moreover, she...”
When he heard these words, Si Rong was quite sure that Tu Xiupei liked him, so he tugged harder at her sleeve and pulled her into his embrace. “There’s no such thing as giving in to other people when it comes to being in love. You just have to believe me, and don’t bother with anything else.”
If Tu Xiupei became his, he would gain the rest of the world. Even if whatever Tu Xiuyu had said were true, he didn’t care. All he wanted was Tu Xiuyu and her phoenix destiny.
Tu Xiupei frowned in disgust. “But Yu’er said...”
“What did she say?” Si Rong let go of Tu Xiupei and looked at her. He started to lose patience when he saw how she shook her head and refused to speak. “Did she threaten you? Did she tell you to stay far away from me?”
Tu Xiupei nodded as if he had guessed right, then shook her head in fear. “No, no, no. It’s my idea. Don’t look for me anymore.”
“That’s what happened, right? She used to threaten Feng Tianlan like this, and now she’s threatening you.” A murderous glint flashed in Si Rong’s eyes as he thought about how he could have had a powerful alchemist supporting him by now if Tu Xiuyu didn’t exist.
With Feng Tianlan’s help, he might have already become the crown prince by now!
Tu Xiupei secretly stole a glance at Si Rong, and her lips curled slightly when she saw how angry he was. She quietly whispered, “Eldest Sister also liked you very much, and I think she still likes you. I won’t fight the two of them.”
“I only have eyes for you,” Si Rong replied earnestly.
Tu Xiupei knew what was going through Si Rong’s mind and pretended to feel sorry for him. “Third Prince is destined for great things – if your engagement hadn’t been annulled because of Yu’er, you might have become the crown prince by now. Because of Yu’er, you’ve missed that chance. You can still try to reconcile with Eldest Sister. I believe she will accept you.”
Feng Tianlan wanted to get together with the Wargod? Did she want to become the Wargod’s consort?
Dream on!
Didn’t Feng Tianlan used to like Si Rong very much? She planned to force them together and spread a rumor. She was looking forward to seeing whether the Wargod still liked Feng Tianlan after that!
