After Feng Yunshu heard what he said, she suddenly felt a bit annoyed.
"Oh, Your Highness sure makes it sound so easy. Then, Your Highness, do you think this concubine has any other choice?"
At first, Feng Yunshu thought that although this prince was in poor health, he was okay in terms of his way of handling things and his character. But gradually, she found that this man was extremely unfathomable.
Rescuing Xiaoling had already been quite distressing. And here he was, coming to say all these things. Did he really think there was some secret affair between her and the Third Prince?
The more Feng Yunshu thought about it, the angrier she got. This man just wouldn't let her have a moment's peace.
Helan Yanting's face was dark and his expression was unclear. After coughing a few times, he said casually, "Judging from what you said, Madam, it seems you do regret marrying this king. You must have had someone else in your heart for a long time, right?"
After saying that, before Feng Yunshu could say a word, Helan Yanting called the butler over. "Old Xu, go and fetch the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for this king quickly."
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
Feng Yunshu was completely confused by his actions. First, he came with that sarcastic tone, and now he was taking the initiative?
"Since Miss Feng's heart is not here, why should this king force you? Forced love won't be sweet. This king will write you a divorce letter right now and set you free."
At this time, Butler Xu beside them got anxious first. "Your Highness, please think twice..."
"Old Xu, just go and fetch the writing materials. Don't say any more."
Fine! He actually wanted to divorce her!
After understanding Helan Yanting's intention, Feng Yunshu was so angry that steam seemed to be coming out of her head. Her fists in her sleeves were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
This man! How could he be so annoying?
"Your Highness, what's this all about? If it weren't for this concubine's quick thinking and giving you an acupuncture treatment in the main hall that day, would Your Highness be standing here safe and sound now?"
Feng Yunshu was so angry that she laughed. "Hehe, so this is how Your Highness treats your savior? You keep calling me 'Madam' and talking about your deep affection. Is this your so - called deep affection?"
Helan Yanting frowned slightly. As soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed a few more times. "Cough, cough, cough... This king just doesn't want to wrong Miss Feng. Why is Miss Feng so angry?"
"Angry?!"
Feng Yunshu was almost exploding with anger. Could this sickly prince say something more hurtful?
Indeed, she couldn't say she had any special feelings for him. But Feng Yunshu just couldn't stand being casually abandoned like this. Writing a divorce letter was so easy for him.
Was he really that kind - hearted? Something was wrong!
A sudden thought flashed through Feng Yunshu's mind. Could it be that Helan Yanting wanted to divorce her on purpose because she had accidentally discovered something strange in the yard?
If that was really the case, it would make sense, and it seemed like something he would do!
He was really a cunning old fox! Did he think he could just get rid of her like this? Wishful thinking! Did he think she, Feng Yunshu, was so easily deceived?
Of course not!
In an instant, Feng Yunshu became full of fighting spirit. Since you insisted on making things difficult for her and acting all high - and - mighty in front of her, then she wouldn't be polite either. After all, she had lived for several decades more than him, and it couldn't be in vain!
Feng Yunshu had been full of anger just now, but soon she changed her expression. She walked towards Helan Yanting with a meaningful smile on her face.
"Your Highness, are you jealous?"
Feng Yunshu raised her eyebrows and leaned forward. She stopped when she was only inches away from Helan Yanting. Their noses almost touched, and their eyes met. Their breaths began to mingle.
Helan Yanting seemed a bit caught off guard. He subconsciously took a small step back, and the tips of his ears blushed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Your Highness, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that Yunshu has hit the nail on the head? Are you jealous because of Yunshu's childhood friendship with the Third Prince?"
Feng Yunshu wasn't going to let it go. She stepped forward and pressed closer to him. "Your Highness, please answer this concubine..."
Helan Yanting looked up at Feng Yunshu. His deep eyes seemed to contain a mysterious energy, luring you in bit by bit.
Feng Yunshu couldn't help being distracted. Suddenly, Helan Yanting took a step forward, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
"Ah!"
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Feng Yunshu let out a startled cry. Scared by his action, she tried to break free immediately. "Your Highness, what are you doing? Can't we talk this over nicely?!"
Helan Yanting held Feng Yunshu's slender waist tightly with one hand. Feng Yunshu was really confused. Was this the disparity between men and women's strength? Wasn't he supposed to be sickly? Where did he get so much strength...
"Talk nicely?"
Helan Yanting leaned forward. It seemed like he was about to kiss her. Feng Yunshu was so scared that her thoughts flew away. She couldn't think at all.
"Your Highness, you—"
In a hurry, Feng Yunshu closed her eyes and turned her face away. Master, save me! Your disciple is about to be molested!
"Madam, what's wrong? Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?"
Helan Yanting stopped right in front of Feng Yunshu's nose, speaking in a gentle and caring tone.
Feng Yunshu's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment. It was as if steam was coming out of her head...
She slowly turned her head to look at Helan Yanting and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
This situation was wrong! Wasn't she the one who was supposed to flirt with him? How come she was the one being flirted with instead? This was just not logical!
"Your Highness, can we please talk this over nicely? Could you please let this concubine go first? This concubine has a bad back..."
"Oh? For no reason at all, why does Madam have a bad back? "
Helan Yanting raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Yunshu meaningfully. "This king hasn't asked Madam to do anything that would strain your back."
Feng Yunshu's mind went blank. She was almost blushing all over.
Was this really that sickly prince? His words, his actions, and his "flirting skills" made him seem like an experienced player!
At this time, Butler Xu came back running with the writing materials. As he was about to step forward, he looked up and saw his own prince holding the princess who had just been married into the family in his arms. The two were looking at each other "lovingly". This scene...
Butler Xu silently stepped aside with the things in his hands, thinking that he had almost been hit by the "love - dog food".
After repeated requests from Feng Yunshu, Helan Yanting finally let her go.
After being let go, Feng Yunshu took a few hasty steps back as if she had seen a ghost. She looked at Helan Yanting warily. Feng Yunshu wasn't afraid of any ghosts or demons, but there was a dangerous aura around Helan Yanting.
"Madam, what's wrong? This king won't eat you. Why are you backing away? Weren't you so confident just now?"
Helan Yanting curled his lips and smiled gently.
Feng Yunshu thought to herself: What a sly old fox!
"Your Highness, let's get back to the main point. Did you say you wanted to divorce this concubine just because of the appearance of the Third Prince, or is there some other reason? After all, we've been husband and wife. There's no need to hide anything."
"What do you think, Madam?" Helan Yanting calmly threw the question back.
"This concubine thinks that Your Highness..."
Feng Yunshu looked at Helan Yanting. She originally wanted to confront him directly and ask if it was because of the things in the yard, but at the last moment, she changed her mind.
He was such a sly old fox. She certainly couldn't be stupid enough to tell him everything.
"Your Highness must be jealous."
