Chapter 675: Yuan Xi, do you want your life or your wife?
Yan Liang's words did not conceal his sarcasm.
When Zhen Mi heard this, her heart felt as painful as being pricked by needles.
The husband kneeling in front of her was so humble and without dignity, which made Zhen Mi feel extremely ashamed.
That kind of shame is like being stripped naked, so ashamed that I feel ashamed.
"There is gold under the man's knees. Husband, you are the second son of the Yuan family, how can you kneel down like this!" Zhen Mi was so ashamed that she quickly reached out to help Yuan Xi.
At this time, Yan Liang shouted: "Yuan Xi, if you dare to touch her, I will cut off your hand."
Yuan Xi was so frightened that his liver trembled. He quickly moved his knees and took a few steps back, avoiding Zhen Mi's extending hand.
Although Zhen Mi was named Yuan Xi's wife, Yan Liang regarded her as his own woman since she was sent by Yuan Shang.
Since she is her own woman, how can she allow other men to touch her again?
Seeing that Yuan Xi was so afraid of Yan Liang, Zhen Mi was very disappointed with Yuan Xi. She couldn't help but raise her head again and glared at Yan Liang. Her eyes seemed to be accusing Yan Liang of his cruelty and power.
Yan Liang didn't take it seriously and said coldly: "Zhen Mi, I'm not here today to watch you show off your love as husband and wife. I'm here to fulfill the bet I made with you today."
Hearing these words, Zhen Mi's delicate body trembled. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the bet that she had almost forgotten.
Back then, Zhen Mi once said harshly that she had no choice but to be forcibly given to Yan Liang by that shameless man Yuan Shang.
Zhen Mi insisted that if her husband Yuan Xi were here, he would never shamelessly give herself to Yan Liang, a traitor of the Yuan family, to survive.
Once upon a time, Zhen Mi learned that her husband had fled to Liaodong, and she thought that Liaodong and Jiangnan were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it was impossible for Yan Liang to catch her husband no matter what.
But Zhen Mi never expected that Yan Liang would be able to capture Liaodong and capture her husband Yuan Xi.
Hearing Yan Liang mention the bet, Zhen Mi felt guilty and was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
Her noble aura was half gone in an instant.
Yan Liang turned his gaze to Yuan Xi and sneered: "Second Master Yuan, you must be curious about what kind of bet I made with your beloved wife back then."
Yuan Xi's face was full of doubts. He just nodded his head.
"Zhen Mi once said that you, Yuan Xi, are a man of steel. You would never shamelessly give her to me like Yuan Shang in order to seek perfection. But I don't believe it. Today we are here to prove it.
For a moment." Yan Liang said the bet coldly.
Yuan Xi's body was shaken, and his face turned red and white. He was a little at a loss.
At this time, Yan Liang sat in the main seat carelessly. He looked at Yuan Xi coldly and said: "Yuan Xi, Zhen Mi is a beauty in this world. I intend to take her as my own. I want to ask you now, can you
Are you willing to dedicate her to the king?"
Yan Liang made no secret of his "arrogance". In front of many maids, he openly asked Yuan Xi if he would give his wife to him.
Saying this is simply the most contemptuous humiliation to Yuan Xi.
Zhen Mi's face turned red with embarrassment, but she could only force herself to remain calm. She looked at her husband expectantly, hoping that Yuan Xi could stand up and hold on to the last dignity of the Yuan family.
Yuan Xi did not dare to look into his wife's expectant eyes, let alone Yan Liang's cold and murderous eyes. He could only lower his head and engage in a painful ideological struggle with his heart as sharp as a knife.
If he refuses Yan Liang's request, Yan Liang will definitely kill him in anger with his cruel methods, or even use cruel methods to torture him until he is worse than dead. There is no doubt about this.
But if he agrees to Yan Liang and openly sacrifices his wife to Yan Liang, then the reputation of the Second Young Master Yuan will be destroyed in one day.
The Yuan family, which had four generations and three sons, unexpectedly gave birth to a descendant who sacrificed his wife to survive. The reputation accumulated by the Yuan family for several generations would be destroyed by him.
Dignity and life are being tortured by Yuan Xi at this moment.
Yan Liang, however, didn't have much time to spare. Watching him perform a show of love, he slapped the table and yelled: "Yuan Xi, do you agree or not? Just give me a happy word and don't be a bitch like a bitch."
Yuan Xi's figure suddenly trembled. He knew that he had no chance to hesitate and had to make a decision.
"Even if I pretend to be tough and refuse his request, Mi'er will not be possessed by him after I am killed. If that is the case, then why should I sacrifice myself in vain..."
The instinct of survival finally defeated the so-called dignity. Yuan Xi comforted himself and gave the reason.
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Xi sighed secretly, lowered his head and said: "If the king likes Mi'er, I will be willing to dedicate her to the king."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which only made Zhen Mi dizzy, heartbroken, and almost fainted.
Yan Liang was not surprised at all, because from the first moment he saw Yuan Xi, he knew that he was the softest one among the brothers in the Yuan family. Such an answer was just what Yan Liang expected.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, pretending not to hear, and shouted: "Can't your voice be louder? I can't hear you."
Yuan Xi was so ashamed that he could only lower his head lower and lower, and loudly said in shame: "The guilty minister is willing to dedicate Zhen Mi to the king."
These words could be heard clearly by everyone in the whole room.
The maids on the left and right couldn't help but cast sarcastic glances at Yuan Xi, thinking that the man in front of them was so spineless.
But Zhen Mi, who was deeply hit, looked miserable, her whole body was weak, and her body and mind seemed to have suffered a major blow.
Heartbroken, she glared at Yuan Xi with hatred, her extremely disappointed expression complaining from the bottom of her heart about Yuan Xi's weakness and shamelessness.
Yan Liang's goal has been achieved.
He stood up, walked slowly towards Zhen Mi, and said coldly: "Zhen Mi, I have kept my promise by not touching you for so many years. Now you have seen the result of the bet. Now, it is my turn to collect the money."
It’s time to place your bet.”
While talking, Yan Liang was approaching Zhen Mi step by step.
Zhen Mi, who was disappointed, immediately fell into shock and shame. She instinctively retreated step by step until she reached the corner. There was no way to retreat.
Yan Liang's majestic body pressed heavily against her, and a pair of tiger palms picked up her waist and pulled her into his arms.
In front of all the maids and in front of Yuan Xi's eyes, Yan Liang was so wanton.
Yuan Xi was extremely ashamed. She felt ashamed and resentful in her heart. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in to avoid such a shameful insult.
He had no choice but to hang his head, not daring to look at Yan Liang's "frivolous" wife. He just pretended like an ostrich that she couldn't see it and it didn't happen.
Zhen Mi is not as shameless as Yuan Xi, and her nobility and reserve have not been lost.
At this moment, seeing Yan Liang openly abusing her in front of her husband, Zhen Mi was so ashamed and angry that she struggled desperately.
"Why, Mrs. Zhen, who is of noble birth, still wants to break her oath now?" Yan Liang asked displeasedly.
Zhen Mi's beautiful face changed, and a hint of shame flashed between her eyebrows.
It is natural to be willing to accept defeat when gambling. How could Zhen Mi not know this?
It's just that the bet was too shameful. Zhen Mi knew that although she lost, she couldn't accept this cruel reality calmly.
She knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't argue, but she still struggled.
Yan Liang was unhappy, and turned around and shouted to Yuan Xi: "Young man named Yuan, this woman doesn't listen to you. Please tell me what she should do."
Yuan Xi was shocked again, raised his head with shame on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Mi'er, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a hero of the world, you... just follow him."
That sentence "Follow him" was like a thunder, striking Zhen Mi's heart mercilessly.
If we say that a moment ago, when Yuan Xi said that he would dedicate her to Yan Liang, although she was disappointed, she was more resentful of Yan Liang's coercion.
But now, when Yuan Xi was so shameless that he persuaded her to submit to Yan Liang and endure Yan Liang's bullying, Zhen Mi's remaining thoughts about Yuan Xi and the pity in her heart disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, all that was left in Zhen Mi's heart was contempt and hatred for her coward husband.
The frustrated Zhen Mi suddenly felt a desire for revenge in her heart. She wanted to take revenge on Yuan Xi for his shamelessness and those cowards who had ruthlessly abandoned her.
With her mind made up, Zhen Mi suddenly stopped struggling and closed her eyes, letting Yan Liang do whatever he wanted.
At this moment, Yan Liang finally let out a sigh of relief. He knew that these women who believed themselves to be noble had finally put down their so-called dignity and succumbed to their own majesty.
Yan Liang, who felt happy in his heart, lifted Zhen Mi's chin and kissed her pink lips wantonly.
Yuan Xi was heartbroken and quickly lowered his head, not daring to take another look.
Not long after, Yan Liang's blood was surging, and he hugged Zhen Mi fiercely. He laughed wildly and strode into the bed a few steps away.
He threw Zhen Mi onto the couch and pulled down the thin gauze curtain. The majestic body of a tiger and bear pounced on the prey on the couch like a hungry beast.
A few steps away, Yuan Xi was kneeling on the ground. He couldn't help but look up. Although he was separated by the gauze curtain, he could still vaguely see the lingering figures of the man and woman inside the gauze curtain.
Endless shame filled his chest in an instant. Yuan Xi was so ashamed and angry that he couldn't bear to stay here any longer and immediately wanted to stand up and escape.
When he was about to get up, Zhou Cang pressed him down and said coldly: "How dare you move without the king's order."
Yuan Xi struggled for a while, but Zhou Cang refused to let him get up.
Yuan Xi had no choice but to continue kneeling there. He thought that if he could not see her, he would feel better. Unexpectedly, not long after, he heard his wife's happy humming.
The increasingly high-pitched voice seemed to be deliberately retaliating against him, which made Yuan Xi blush, ashamed and angry. (To be continued...)
