After returning to the Wang Manor, Yun Zhiqiu knew that Miao Yi would definitely summon someone to ask about some matters after leaving for a while. Just as she was about to leave, Miao Yi turned around and called out to her, "Sister Qiu 'er, shall we have a chat?"
Yun Zhiqiu was taken aback and followed him.
After Miao Yi sat down in the main hall, he asked, "You seemed to have something on your mind on the way here?"
Yun Zhiqiu sat down on the other side of the tea table and asked in surprise, "Really?" There were some things she didn't want to talk about, especially not to Miao Yi.
"Yes!" Miao Yi nodded and said firmly, "I haven't seen you like this in a long time … I only saw you like that a long time ago at Flowing Clouds Dune Sea's Tempest Tavern. Did something happen to your family or something? Is there something you can't tell me? "
Yun Zhiqiu's heart was instantly filled with warmth. She looked at Miao Yi with a warm gaze and felt her heart warm. It turned out that this man had always remembered her emotions.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly sighed and said, "Shuang 'er, I've let her down. I've wronged her."
Miao Yi was surprised and said, "You've always doted on her. How have you wronged her? I really couldn't tell. Is it because you forced her to stay in Purgatory? You know how she is. She'll always cause trouble outside. You did it for her own good in Purgatory. I don't think she's wronged, right? "
Yun Zhiqiu shook her head and said with a melancholy expression, "It's not like what you're saying. Shuang 'er has always been a wild girl. She's never been one to suffer. I've really wronged her this time. I've wronged her greatly!"
Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "What happened? She's dissatisfied with this marriage? She's the one who harmed Chu Yuan! "
"It's not as complicated as you think. It's just a woman's worries. It has nothing to do with you. Go on with your business." Yun Zhiqiu reached out and pushed Miao Yi's head away.
She got up and was about to leave when Xue 'er came to report that Yang Qing wanted to see them. She had no choice but to sit back down.
Soon, Yang Qing arrived. He didn't have anything else to say except to tell them about his showdown with Su Yun.
"…" Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu were both dumbfounded. They were truly taken aback by Yang Qing. They had never seen or heard of such a thing before.
Miao Yi leaned against the tea table, his hand covering his forehead as he laughed uncomfortably. He couldn't imagine Su Yun's reaction at that time.
Yun Zhiqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Yang Qing, you can't do this. How would Su Yun look at you with such trickery? How would she feel about you?"
Yang Qing sighed and said, "I have no other choice. Someone has to break the paper window between her and Hao Defang. Otherwise, she will always think that she is still in Hao Defang's world. No matter who calls for her from the outside, it's useless. If she can't be called out, she can only resort to extreme measures! She broke the window paper herself, and that's better than anyone else. "
Yun Zhiqiu pondered for a moment, then said to Miao Yi, "It does make sense, doesn't it?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and chuckled, "Don't ask me. I can't do something like that. I don't know anything about it!"
Yun Zhiqiu turned to Yang Qing and asked, "Why are you telling us this?"
Yang Qing: "I want to ask Her Ladyship to come forward and deal with this matter on my behalf, so that she can give me a chance to apologize."
Yun Zhiqiu smiled bitterly. "Even if I tell you about this … I don't think she will give you a chance. It's better for you to look for her yourself."
Yang Qing: "I've been going to her residence every day lately, but I can't even get past the door. That's why I'm asking Her Ladyship to help me out."
Yun Zhiqiu spread her hands and said, "She might not give me face on this matter. Even if I went to plead for her, she might not even agree to meet you. I can't possibly force her on this matter, can I?"
Yang Qing nodded and said, "I know it will be difficult for me to see her in the near future. That's why I've been going to her residence every day. I also know that she might not give you face this time, but that's not important. What's important is that Her Ladyship knows about her marriage, and she knows that someone else knows about it."
"…" Yun Zhiqiu was speechless.
The corner of Miao Yi's mouth twitched. He understood what Yang Qing was trying to say. He didn't expect to see Su Yun in her anger at all. He went to see her every day purely to put on an act. He wanted Su Yun to reject him on purpose so that he would have an excuse to ask Yun Zhiqiu for help.
To put it bluntly, Yang Qing wanted Su Yun to know that others already knew about her marriage vow. However, he didn't want Su Yun to think that he was using it to coerce her, lest she hated him. Hence, he purposely went to her residence and was rejected repeatedly. Then, he pretended that he had no choice but to tell Yun Zhiqiu about it and ask for her help. Su Yun would probably want to bang her head against the wall later on!
Was this a typical example of being a whore? A whore still had to have a chastity!
Miao Yi muttered to himself. Su Yun was really unlucky to have been targeted by this guy. How could she stand it when he was trying to woo her like this?
Miao Yi wasn't in a good position to step forward. Yun Zhiqiu had already been begged. Not to mention, she had promised to help them when she captured Xiahou Ta alive. She could only brace herself and do it.
The next day, Yun Zhiqiu went to the small garden where Su Yun lived and berated Yang Qing for his recklessness. She asked Su Yun to give Yang Qing a chance to apologize. Of course, she wouldn't mention that Su Yun had promised Yang Qing to keep his vow.
When Su Yun heard that others had found out about this, she was instantly driven mad. How could she endure this? Furious, she immediately asked Yang Qing to come see her.
Yang Qing didn't have to be so easily persuaded. He immediately rushed to the small garden and apologized to Su Yun in front of Yun Zhiqiu.
Unexpectedly, Su Yun wasn't one to be trifled with. She sneered and said, "I'm not a despicable person who goes back on his word. Since I've made a vow, I will naturally keep it. I can marry you, but I didn't say when I'll marry you. As long as you can afford to wait, we can talk!"
Yang Qing smiled. This kind of answer was already within his calculations. When Su Yun had made her vow, he had already made all sorts of deductions regarding the loopholes in her vow. He had also made all sorts of preparations, so this wasn't out of his expectations. He then asked, "How long do I have to wait?"
Su Yun said resolutely, "Three hundred thousand years! If you still like me after three hundred thousand years, I'll marry you! "
Sitting at the side, Yun Zhiqiu gently rubbed her temples, smiling bitterly to herself. She thought to herself, 'These two are really evenly matched. Neither of them is a pushover. Three hundred thousand years? Putting aside the possibility of some unforeseen event occurring in between, she's already an old woman. Why would Yang Qing marry her? '
Yang Qing calmly said, "This request is a little harsh."
Su Yun scorned, "What? Can't wait? If you're not willing to wait, don't blame me for not keeping my vow! "
Yang Qing retorted, "What if you don't want to marry me after three hundred thousand years?"
Su Yun, "Are you trying to make me make another vow?"
Yang Qing, "That won't be necessary. As long as you promise me one thing, what's wrong with waiting for three hundred thousand years?"
Su Yun, "Despicable person! Do you think I have to promise you anything? "
Yang Qing smiled as he took out a jade archive. Invoking his arts, he wrote something on it, then tossed it to Su Yun. He continued, "It's a very simple condition. Just agree to share the same tomb with me after death!"
Su Yun took a look. Indeed, it was a contract to share the same tomb after death. She lifted her head and sneered, "Dream on!" She tossed the jade archive back to him.
Yang Qing caught it, shook his head, and sighed, "Is it too much to marry me and share the same tomb after death? This should be human nature, right? Since you're willing to marry me after three hundred thousand years, why can't we share the same tomb after death? If you can't even agree to such a small request, which can't be any more normal, then may I ask if Mister Su has any intention of keeping your vow? "He approached her and handed the jade archive over again.
Su Yun had no intention of accepting it. She frowned slightly as she stared at the jade archive before her. She had to admit that Yang Qing's words made sense. If she were to marry him, sharing the same tomb after death was normal. She gritted her teeth and said, "What if I don't agree?"
Yang Qing calmly said, "If Mister Su goes back on her word, I will publicize your vow and let Mister Su defend yourself!"
"You …" Su Yun was enraged. Once this news got out, everyone in the world would know about her relationship with Hao Defang. How would they look at her then? She coldly said, "I promise you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone!"
Yang Qing swore, "If I say another word, you can kill me without complaint. The Princess Consort is here to bear witness!" He cupped his fists at Yun Zhiqiu and said, "Your Highness, please be my witness. If I break my promise, Su Yun will not bear any responsibility for killing me. I did it willingly, and the Prince Mansion will not pursue Su Yun for any responsibility!"
Yun Zhiqiu rubbed her forehead. Watching these two fight was really interesting, but also giving her a headache. Was it appropriate to be a witness?
Under Su Yun's furious gaze, Yun Zhiqiu helplessly said, "Fine, it's up to the two of you. As long as you're willing, I'll be your witness!"
Yang Qing gestured at the jade archive in his hand. Su Yun snatched it away and angrily signed the contract. She stamped her transcendence seal on it and threw it back into Yang Qing's hand, shouting, "Scram!"
Yang Qing checked the contents of the jade archive and made sure there were no problems with it. He cupped his fists and said, "Farewell!"
Yun Zhiqiu coughed dryly. It would be awkward to stay here any longer. She also stood up and said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." She also wanted to see what Yang Qing was up to.
After the two of them left, Su Yun's anger could not be quelled. She grabbed a teacup and poured a few cups of tea to quench her anger.
She walked out of the pavilion and returned to her room. Just as she reached the stairs, Su Yun suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Ah!" Suddenly, she let out a strange cry and squatted down with her hands covering her face. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears. "I've fallen for that bastard's trick …"
For someone as gentle and quiet as her, as well as her usual status, to kneel on the ground in such a shameful manner was almost unheard of. At the very least, it was rare. This time, she was really on the verge of tears because of Yang Qing.
The handmaidens in the courtyard were shocked to see this scene.
Inside the main hall of the Prince's Residence, Yun Zhiqiu and Yang Qing had returned. After listening to Yun Zhiqiu's explanation of the situation, Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh. He asked, "You can't be together in life, and yet you're sharing the same tomb in death. And you're still unwilling? What's the point of tormenting her like this?"
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Sharing the same tomb after death is something that a married couple should do. Is there any difference between her signing this and marrying me? With this in hand, who can deny that she's my woman? I reckon she'll be able to come to her senses once she calms down! "
"…" Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu's jaws dropped. After all this trouble, all he did was wait here. This was too sinister!
Yun Zhiqiu had to give up on him. She sighed and reminded, "It's been three hundred thousand years!"
