847: Will Not Take a Wife for Life

Will Not Take a Wife for Life

Xi Jin clenched his fists and then slowly walked toward Shen Yunya. He stood in front of her and held her wrist to take the dagger from her. He reached out to pull her into his arms and said, "I believe you. This has nothing to do with Dai'er."1

Because she did not deserve to bring up Dai'er!

"Big Brother Jin." Shen Yunya leaned into his embrace and broke down, sobbing bitterly. Her shoulders heaved. It was enough that Big Brother Jin was willing to believe her. She did not need to care about other people's words.

Xi Jin dropped his gaze and held back the hate in his eyes as he gently said to her, "Leave the matter to me. Since you and I have the relations of a husband and wife, I will never let you down."

Shen Yunya nodded in tears and said, "Okay. I'll listen to Big Brother Jin."

Xi Jin let go of her and pulled her along to go down on their knees. He said, "Imperial Grandmother, I believe her, so I want to take her as my secondary consort. Imperial Grandmother, please grant me my request."

"Crown Prince...." Luo Shiyun was very anxious. But her mother did not let her talk, so she could only stamp her feet fretfully and then cry.

The Empress Dowager's face was gloomy as her icy eyes fell upon Shen Yunya. She spoke in a cold voice, saying, "She has drugged you and came to you as a fallen woman. Just based on that, it is enough to wipe out her family clan. Yet, you want to confer her as a consort?"

Xi Jin bowed and said very firmly, "Yes. I want her and none other."

"What if I forbid it?" The Empress Dowager's gaze turned to Xi Jin. Seeing him bowing and pleading, her disgust with Shen Yunya became deeper.

That was her good grandson. When had he ever been schemed against? And now, furthermore, he was bowing and begging for such a dirty woman. It was Shen Yunya's fault that her good grandson had become this way.

"In that case, I will not take a wife for life," Xi Jin said firmly. There was a hint of a threat in his words.

Shen Yunya tearfully looked at Xi Jin. She only felt her love for him becoming increasingly deeper. She naturally loved him more since Big Brother Jin loved her so much.

The Empress Dowager's face became darker. Her cold gaze swept across everyone present. When her gaze swept over the people, they trembled. That gaze was too terrible.

After her gaze swept across everyone, the Empress Dowager said solemnly, "I can agree to confer her as a consort. But Crown Prince, you have to promise me that you have to marry your Crown Princess Consort this year. And Shen Yunya can only be a common consort. She can only be an imperial concubine in the future. You cannot favor her alone. Can you do this?"

Shen Yunya looked at the Empress Dowager, full of tears. Then she turned to look at Xi Jin at her side. No, not a common consort. Would that not make her lower than Luo Shiyun?

Xi Jin raised his eyes to look at Shen Yunya with eyes full of deep feelings. His voice was full of gentleness as he said, "Ya'er, are you willing to give yourself to me?"

"I..." Shen Yunya dared not answer. Originally, she did not mind being a secondary consort. But now, she could only be a common consort. It was lower than a lowly concubine. How could she agree? She wanted to be the wife of Big Brother Jin!

"Ya'er, are you not willing?" Xi Jin's face was full of disappointment. Seeing how she panicked in wanting to explain, he laughed bitterly to himself and said, "Forget it. Let's take it that today's incident did not happen. I will seal off everyone's mouth and then help you find a good marriage when the time is right."

"No, Big Brother Jin..." she said.

"Imperial Grandmother, I will not..."

Shen Yunya hurriedly bowed. She clenched her fists and said with gritted teeth, "I, your servant, humbly give thanks to the Empress Dowager for her favor. As long as I can marry Big Brother Jin, I, your servant, do not care about anything else."

She would be a common consort now. Otherwise, once Big Brother Jin spoke, she would not be able to marry Big Brother Jin at any point in her lifetime. Moreover, she already belonged to him.
