Mu Xuechu looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes, her heart hurting so much: "Why are you so stupid?"
At that time, her eldest brother did not want her to enter the palace as a concubine, so he was anxious to find a husband for her. However, there were so many young talents in the capital who were afraid of His Majesty's power and did not dare to marry her.
Only Shen Chi agreed to the marriage without any fear. He did not marry her for fame and fortune, but simply liked her and wanted to marry her.
But she ultimately betrayed his affection.
Shen Chi stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said: "I'm not stupid, I just don't want to miss it. I know you didn't marry me voluntarily, but I am willing to wait for you to open your heart to me.
But I didn’t know that you and Your Majesty were actually in love with each other. For so many years, I thought I could make you fall in love with me, but after all, I was too conceited.”
"No, that's not the case."
Mu Xuechu shook her head and cried harder: "I lied to you. Your Majesty and I are not in love at all. It was him...it was him who threatened me and insulted me. I don't like it at all." he."
Shen Chi's expression changed after hearing these words. He grabbed Mu Xuechu's shoulders and asked tremblingly: "What did you say? What did your Majesty do to you?"
Mu Xuechu cried and said: "I really didn't want to marry you at first, but gradually I found that you are very good and I want to live a good life with you. But on the day when I entered the palace for the banquet, Your Majesty He...he actually insulted me and threatened me with your life and the lives of everyone in the Mu family.
I dare not tell anyone, and I feel even more ashamed of you. The better you treat me, the more uncomfortable I feel and the more I blame myself. I lose my temper with you and scold you in the hope that you will divorce me and marry someone else.
But I didn't expect that I was pregnant. I didn't know who the child was, but I held some hope that it was yours, but I was afraid that it was His Majesty's.
So after the child was born, in order to prevent His Majesty from suspecting that it was his child, I deliberately lied about the child's birth date, but to my surprise, he still didn't let me go.
He took advantage of the southern tour to stay in our house, deliberately drove you away, and insulted me again. It was he who ruined me, he is a beast.
But he is the emperor who holds the power of life and death, and I can do nothing but endure the humiliation and silently swallow it!"
Mu Xuechu told about the grievances she had suffered over the years. Originally, she wanted to keep these words in her stomach and never let Shen Chi know about them, but today because she was misunderstood by her daughter, she could not hold back.
She didn't want to lie to Shen Chi again.
After hearing what she said, Shen Chi's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his whole body was trembling. Over the years, he had believed Mu Xuechu's words, thinking that the person she liked was the current His Majesty.
But I didn’t expect that the truth would be like this!
Yuan Hao, he actually insulted and humiliated his wife. He is simply not a human being. He is not worthy of being a king at all!
Shen Chi was in great pain. He hugged Mu Xuechu and shed tears from the corners of his eyes: "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me?"
If he had known the truth earlier, when Yuan Hao visited the south and lived in the Shen Mansion, he would not have let him get close to Chu'er even if he risked his life.
It's useless for him. He doesn't know that his first son has suffered all these years of injustice alone.
He is a husband in vain.
Mu Xuechu cried out of breath in his arms. After a while, she gradually calmed down: "Even if I tell you, what can I do, kill him? Even if I kill him, you won't survive. I I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
She raised her head and looked at Shen Chi and said: "I don't want you to know this all my life. I would rather you hate me and think that I have my own heart, and I don't want you to become an enemy of His Majesty for me, so I promised you Chenchi, please don’t do stupid things, okay?”
What Mu Xuechu was most afraid of was what outrageous things Shen Chi would do after knowing the truth. She knew him too well, and his heart was filled with her, and he would risk his life for her.
