Chapter 962: Chapter 962: The Stand-in Empress vs. the True Love Concubine (Part 27)
She instinctively puffed out her chest, as if by doing so, she could muster a bit more confidence for herself.
Seeing Gu Shengyin not speaking, she thought he might be considering her words, and continued, "Originally, Brother Yun Qi promised he would marry me three months after his grand wedding."
After saying this, she was satisfied to see that Cai He, who was behind Gu Shengyin, turned pale.
But before she could rejoice, she heard a sinister voice behind her: "Is that so?"
Lu Xi was startled and swiftly turned around.
Yun Qi was standing right behind her, though she didn’t know how long he had been there or how much he had heard.
At this moment, Lu Xi was in no mood to think about that; she was completely terrified by the sudden burst of aura from Yun Qi, making her a bit unsteady on her feet.
Lu Xi had never seen such a frightening look on Yun Qi’s face.
His dark eyes fixed intensely on her, his expression cold and terrifying, looking at her almost as if she were a lifeless object.
Even though it was a season with suitable weather, Lu Xi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave in an instant.
She had no doubt that for a moment, Yun Qi wanted to take her life.
Lu Xi’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Yun Qi spoke in a low voice, "I never knew, when did I and Miss Lu make such eternal vows?"
Lu Xi opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but couldn’t say anything.
Yun Qi continued to stare at her with a cold gaze, further saying, "I thought that we had made it clear to Miss Lu in the pavilion that time. I don’t wish to be too rude to a woman, but that is only on the premise that she has the sense to understand!"
Lu Xi was so frightened by his gloomy aura that she couldn’t help but step back.
But Yun Qi didn’t intend to let her go, instead he stepped forward, forcing her back even more.
His eyes were vicious, and he coldly stared at her, "I will say it one last time, the Crown Princess Consort is my life! Whoever dares to lay plans on her, I will make her regret it for a lifetime!"
Lu Xi finally couldn’t bear it anymore and fell to the ground with a thud.
In this state...
Yun Qi looked with disdain at the disheveled Lu Xi on the ground, coldly commanded, "Scram!"
Lu Xi seemed to have been granted amnesty, hurriedly scrambling up from the ground, her steps somewhat unsteady as she left.
When Yun Qi turned around to look at Gu Shengyin once again, it was as if he had become a different person; the gloom on his face vanished completely and was replaced by unmistakable tenderness in his eyes.
Cai He had already retreated tactfully when Yun Qi arrived.
Yun Qi looked at his wife, whose expression was calm, with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "Rourou..."
He was somewhat afraid that Rourou had seen his brutal side just now; what if she became afraid of him?
Gu Shengyin turned around, as if seeing Yun Qi anew.
Previously, in her presence, he always maintained a gentle and harmless demeanor; she had thought her lover was really a mild and occasionally playful little white lamb.
It wasn’t until today that she realized he wasn’t harmless at all, clearly he was a sleeping lion!
Yun Qi saw his wife’s gaze wandering uncertainly over his face, feeling anxious inside.
Unexpectedly, the person opposite suddenly burst into laughter.
Yun Qi was bewildered by her laughter but at least realized she wasn’t angry, and felt relieved.
"Rourou... you’re not angry? Not scared?" he stepped forward, softly embracing his wife, and finally asked quietly.
