Zhang Yuan's face was as suppressed as a purple eggplant, with a layer of sadness covering his eyebrows. He lowered his head and said:
"The princess and the prince have cultivated me for many years. I used to be proud to call myself a member of Prince Yu's Palace, but I didn't want to. I was discredited by Prince Yu's Palace. I was deceived by this woman and suffered so much. She not only used my identity to help the Chu State I am willing to bear the charge of harboring the enemy's secret agents. Please tell me, Princess."
From Zhang Yuan's words, Luo Lan could hear helplessness. His mother had always been satisfied with Wu Xiaoyun, except for the fact that she had never given birth to a child.
Now it is difficult for anyone to accept that the woman he loves with all his heart has cheated on him.
Besides, Zhang Yuan is different from Xiao Lingzi. Xiao Lingzi and Fang Qiu are both careless people. They can open their hearts to each other when talking and doing things. In addition, this time it was Fang Qiu who took the initiative to admit his identity to him, which made Xiao Lingzi You can stand with her. From this point of view, Fang Qiu is much smarter than Wu Xiaoyun.
Luo Lan's long eyelashes flickered a few times, and a dim color flashed under her eyes.
"Wu Xiaoyun, I heard that your father asked you to leave Daning Country with your family. What do you think? Are you willing to leave?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xiaoyun shook his head vigorously,
"I don't want to. I am the daughter-in-law of Zhang Yuanming. I will not leave Daning Country. In fact, I wanted to clarify this matter with Zhang Yuan a few years ago, but I couldn't open my mouth. I was afraid that I would say it. , he will kick me out, hate me, I just thought, hiding it for a day counts. When my father came to see me in the morning, I was still thinking, as long as my father and others leave Daning Country, I am from the Chu Country. No one will know my identity, and I can live peacefully with Zhang Yuan, but...but I didn't expect that he actually heard the conversation between me and my father..."
When he said this, Wu Xiaoyun had already started to burst into tears, while Zhang Yuan closed his eyes slightly in pain, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Luo Lan could tell from the expressions of these two people that they already had extremely deep feelings for each other. If Wu Xiaoyun's identity as a native of Chu had not been discovered, they would have become a pair of lovers who loved each other.
She sighed, raised the tea cup at her hand and took a sip. The moment she put it down, she looked at Zhang Yuan with sharp eyes and asked:
"Zhang Yuan, General Ling just said that he is willing to live and die with his wife, and he will accompany her even if he is asked to kill her. Are you willing to do this?"
This question made Zhang Yuan raise his head in shock. He looked at Wu Xiaoyun, was silent for a long time, clenched his fists, and nodded heavily.
"If it weren't for my mother to take care of me, I would be willing to live and die by her side."
As soon as he said these words, Wu Xiaoyun burst into tears. She suddenly possessed him and pressed her face to the ground, sobbing, "Zhang Yuan, I'm sorry for you, I was wrong... I'm sorry for the aunt, I'm sorry for the princess." I'm sorry to everyone for their trust..."
Her cries and her almost hysterical words made everyone moved, as if her identity as a Chu country person had become the biggest stain on her body.
Luo Lan's eyebrows moved slightly, sighed softly, and said slowly:
"You can't choose where you were born, but you can choose how you live. I heard that your parents have left here, leaving you alone. It's very pitiful. Now I miss you and Zhang Yuan. For the sake of the king, I will put this matter on hold for the time being and wait until the prince comes out before making a decision. Maybe when the storm about the Chu people passes, you will be fine, but during this period, you must be more stable. If something happens again, the Emperor will be very jealous of the people of Chu because of Prince Yu, so you should take care of yourself."
Her words stunned Zhang Yuan for a moment. Wu Xiaoyun even raised his head, looked at her in confusion, and asked timidly:
"Princess, can I really stay?"
Luo Lan's eyes were calm, and he shook his head with a serious expression.
"Whether you can stay depends on Zhang Yuan's willingness. I just said that I won't pursue your status as a foreigner for the time being. You and your wife can decide the rest on your own."
After saying this, she stood up feebly and whispered to Ah Cai:
"Help me back to my room."
She felt like she would stop breathing if she said another word.
This feeling of weakness almost made her suffocate. She had to lie down for a while, otherwise, she really couldn't guarantee whether she would faint in front of everyone.
After Luo Lan left, Wu Xiaoyun looked back at the expressionless Zhang Yuan. When she saw that he was not looking at her, her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
She knew that Zhang Yuan had not forgiven her, but he still wanted to divorce her.
Thinking of this, she got up from the ground, trembling her lips and murmuring in a weak voice,
"I'll go get the divorce papers early tomorrow morning."
After saying this, she walked out feebly like a homeless little animal.
Looking at her back, Fang Qiu, who was standing aside, anxiously stepped forward to persuade her:
"Zhang Yuan, Xiaoyun loves you in her heart. Now she has no relatives in the capital. You can't ignore her."
But Zhang Yuan knelt there without moving, his face as stiff as a clay figure, expressionless.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Xiao Lingzi stepped forward, punched him on the shoulder angrily, and complained bitterly:
"In any case, she is also the daughter-in-law you are marrying. Even if she is at fault, it is not enough for you to kick her out. She also does not want to be spurned by you because of her status as an enemy of the country. But what can she do? She is She is forced to have no choice, and now her relatives have left her. This is the time when she is most helpless. If you don't care about her anymore, she will not be able to think about it. "
Xiao Lingzi's words made Zhang Yuan feel a little moved, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.
When Xiao Ningzi who was standing aside saw this, he stepped forward angrily and shouted:
"Zhang Yuan, you are a coward. The princess has already said that she doesn't care about her identity. Why are you still caring about it? If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. If she marries your Zhang family, she belongs to your Zhang family. Man, you actually want to abandon her?"
Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Ayu, who had not moved all the time, suddenly rushed over quickly, raised his hand and punched him in the chest, and shouted angrily:
"Thanks for being a man, I really look down on you. Look, Brother Ling came to the princess hand in hand with his wife to admit his mistake. The princess praised their relationship for this. It's very touching. Why do you do the same thing? Want to treat her so extreme? Let me tell you, if you don’t dare to look Wu Xiaoyun in the face today, all the brothers will look down on you in the future, and you won’t have brothers like us anymore.”
After Ayu finished speaking, Ahou and others also nodded.
"Yes, Wu Xiaoyun needs your comfort most at this time, but you shut her out. What kind of man are you?"
"Zhang Yuan, where has your usual kindness towards the common people gone?"
Listening to everyone's well-intentioned insults, Zhang Yuan clenched his fists in his sleeves and bit his lip bitterly.
