Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s response, Wang Yong chuckled lightly, then asked “Madam Chu, could it be that the Prince thinks those fifty thousand Heavy Cavalry truly belong to him?”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin indifferently said, “Whether those fifty thousand Heavy Cavalry belong to the Prince or not seems to have little to do with your Wang Family, doesn’t it? You’d better hurry and leave Yan County, lest you provoke the Prince’s anger.”
Wang Yong snorted coldly and said, “Madam Chu, oh no, I should address you as Lady Wang. You have already married into the Wang Family, you are a daughter-in-law of the Wang Family, and yet you actually speak in favor of the North Prince!”
“Could it really be just like the rumors out there, that the North Prince and you have some land of unspeakable relationship?”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s expression turned icy in an instant “I am merely conveying the North Prince’s message. If you want to leave, then leave- if you don’t wish to go and something happens later on, it has nothing to do with me.”
“As for whether I have a special relationship with the North Prince, the innocent are blameless, and it’s none of your business either.”
Wang Yong said, “How is it none of our business? You are our Wang Family’s daughter-in-law. Instead of properly staying at the Wang Family, you are by the side of another man every day. How do you think that makes outsiders view our Wang Family?”
“Lady Wang, as a daughter-in-law of our Wang Family, shouldn’t you also return to the Prince’s Mansion?”
Hearing Wang Yong’s aggressive words, chu Yuqin replied indifferently, “Since your Wang Family feels that I ant a disgrace to you, then simply issue a letter of divorce and rid yourself of me from now on, 1 will have nothing to do with the Wang Family.”
Wang Yong laughed sarcastically, thinking how nice Chu Yuqin had it all worked out. If they really divorced Chu Yuqin, how then could they use her to control the North Prince?
Their Wang Family had long been aware of the unusual relationship between the North Prince and Chu Yuqin, which is why they had never allowed her to return, so as to use her in the future.
Now was the time.
Wang Yong then said, “Lady Wang, since you have married into our Wang Family, you belong to the Wang Family, whether you live or die. You don’t think that by not returning to the Prince’s Mansion, you can escape your identity, do you?”
“If you insist on staying by the North Prince’s side, I’m afraid it won’t be long before there are rumors that the North Prince has forcibly taken a civilian girl At that point, the reputation the North Prince has just managed to regain will be tarnished again, and I wonder what choice you will make then.”
Chu Yuqin sneered, “Are you threatening me?”
Indeed, if such a matter were widely disseminated among the public, Lu Chen’s reputation would probably be negatively affected. After all, Chu Yuqin was a widow, and the spread of rumors about snatching a widow would definitely be unsavory.
The most crucial point was that the man Chu Yuqin initially married had died after contracting a strange poison while fending off an invasion from the Barbarian Tribe.
If word got out that the wife of a hero who defended against the Barbarian Tribe’s invasion had been taken over by the North Prince after her husband’s death, the North Prince would surely be despised by many, which would greatly affect his reputation.
Seeing that Chu Yuqin seemed angered, Wang Yong said with a smile, “How dare I threaten Lady Wang? After all, Lady Wang is now the most important woman to the North Prince.”
At this point, Wang Yong added, “Lady Wang, when you return to the Prince’s Mansion, you should still advise the North Prince that wanting everything might lead to losing everything in the end.”
“If he wants to shake off the status of a pawn, then cooperating with the Aristocratic Family is his best option.”
Having said this, Wang Yong had no intention of further wasting words with Chu Yuqin. He then turned to the people behind him and said, “Let’s go. Since the North Prince does not welcome us, we will not continue to stay in North City to bother him.”
As their words fell, the people from the Wang Family and the Chu Family left together. The people dispatched by the Chu Family didn’t engage in much conversation with Chu Yuqin, since she had already married into the Wang Family and was now their daughter-in-law.
After Wang Yong and the others had left, Chu Yuqin’s eyebrows knit slightly, and her expression showed a touch of melancholy.
If she continued to stay at the North Prince Mansion, by Lu Chen’s side, it would undoubtedly affect his reputation significantly.
Judging from Lu Chen’s recent actions, he was bound to contend for the throne m the Capital City in the future. Such a stain could pose a major threat to his ambitions.
For a moment, Chu Yuqin felt lost.
She questioned whether her continued presence at the North Prince Mansion was too selfish.
If it had been before, she would still have needed to protect Lu Chen, but now Lu Chen had several Grandmasters by his side and no longer needed her protection.
She had lost her original purpose at the North Prince Mansion.
If she claimed now that staying at the North Prince Mansion was to protect Lu Chen, that would be purely an excuse.
At that moment, something else occurred to Chu Yuqin.
Although she had lost her initial purpose in the North Prince Mansion, there was still a role that she could play that no one else in the mansion, not even the Grandmasters, could replace – she was able to help Lu Chen with his health.
According to what Lu Chen had said, only a woman whose heart resonated with his would be able to help him with his health, and among all the women in the North Prince Mansion at present, they were either commoners or those without feelings for him.
Only she had deep affection for Lu Chen, and as a Half, step Grandmaster, she was the only one capable of aiding with Lu Chen’s health.
With this thought, Chu Yuqin felt much more at ease.
As long as she was still useful to Lu Chen, she could not possibly leave the
North Prince Mansion, nor could she leave Lu Chen..
