Chapter 120 General's Concubine 4
Chapter 120 General's Concubine 4
When Yue Zhen came to the main courtyard in the evening, Liu Yaozhu had calmed down and was no longer heartbroken and crying.
"Yaozhu..." Yue Zhen looked at his wife guiltily, not knowing what to say.
He really didn't want to take a concubine, but Yaozhu had been pregnant for many years and he couldn't let the Yue family have no descendants before him.
The most important thing is that swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield, and Yue Zhen is also worried that he might not come back from the battlefield. If that happens, what should Yaozhu and grandmother do?
So when his grandmother begged him to take a concubine, Yue Zhen finally agreed, breaking his oath to Yaozhu.
"Don't look at me like that," Liu Yaozhu naturally wouldn't give Yue Zhen a good look, "Who are you showing this guilty look to, or are you mocking me?"
"Yue Zhen, you really disappoint me. I always thought that you would not betray me even if we didn't have a child. But in just six years, you have changed. You said that your grandmother forced you to take a concubine, but in fact, it was because you wanted to take a concubine."
"Yue Zhen, you're so hypocritical that it makes me sick." Liu Yaozhu looked at Yue Zhen with disgust.
Her disgusted look was like a sharp sword piercing Yue Zhen's heart: "Yaozhu, I know that nothing I say now will work. If this makes you feel better, then treat me, Yue Zhen, as a hypocritical person."
Liu Yaozhu's eyes turned red, and she immediately broke down and cried, "Why, why did we end up like this? We clearly loved each other so much, but because of my pregnancy, we ended up getting tired of each other."
"Yaozhu, this is not your fault. We are not tired of each other." Yue Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Liu Yaozhu. "If you want to blame it, just blame it on fate. It made me a treacherous person and broke my oath to you. I only feel endless guilt towards you. How could I possibly be tired of you?"
"Yaozhu, I know you are very angry with me now, and you hate me for breaking my oath, but I still want to beg you not to hate me, let alone dislike me, okay? Seeing you look at me with disgust, do you know how uncomfortable I feel?"
Liu Yaozhu couldn't stop sneering in her heart, but her face showed another expression: "How sad can you be? No matter how sad you are, can it be as sad as me? Do you know that when you said you wanted to take a concubine, my heart felt like it was cut by a knife, so painful that I wanted to die immediately."
"Yue Zhen, you are such a heartless man, how could you hurt my heart like this." Liu Yaozhu hit Yue Zhen's chest.
At the same time, she said hatefully in her heart: Yue Zhen, you have betrayed my feelings and broken your oath to me, so don't blame me for being cruel. From today on, you are no longer my husband, the man I deeply love, but the person I, Liu Yaozhu, hate.
And your grandmother, that old woman, dared to hurt me, Liu Yaozhu, like this. It is impossible for me to swallow my anger in silence. Just wait for my, Liu Yaozhu’s revenge!
Yue Zhen let Liu Yaozhu beat him, and he felt more and more guilty.
Liu Yaozhu only hit Yue Zhen a dozen times before stopping. She wiped her tears and spoke again, "I want you to promise me that no matter how many concubines you take in, any children born to concubines must be given to me to raise, and concubines cannot have any contact with the children. I don't want to work so hard to raise a child, only to end up making wedding clothes for others in vain."
"Of course, if you don't agree, then let me go home! We can get divorced."
"There will only be one concubine, not a second one," Yue Zhen said quickly, "I am taking concubines only to continue the family line, so one concubine is enough."
"As for the children born by my concubine, they will naturally be brought to you to raise. In short, I will listen to you in everything and I will not interfere with any of your actions."
She was just a concubine, so Yue Zhen naturally wouldn't take it to heart. Moreover, concubines were used to give birth to children, so there was naturally no need for them to have contact with children.
"I hope you can do what you said," Liu Yaozhu's eyes were red, and she stared at Yue Zhen intently, "Yue Zhen, you'd better not let me down again, otherwise I would rather leave and go home to be sent to the family temple to live out my life with green lamps and ancient Buddhas, than continue to be married to someone as heartless as you."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down again," Yue Zhen promised very seriously, "If you don't believe me, I swear to you now."
"Oh!" Liu Yaozhu sneered with tears in her eyes, "I believed in your oath too much, that's why I was hurt so deeply by you, so do you think I will believe your oath again? And don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say that? You just broke your oath and you're going to swear again right after."
"Yue Zhen, you really disgust me. If it weren't for the years of love we've had as husband and wife, I really wouldn't want to give you any chances. I would just want to divorce you as soon as possible."
She would forgive Yue Zhen and understand his decision to take a concubine. Of course, this was just a superficial act. Yue Zhen broke their oath. How could Liu Yaozhu possibly forgive him?
But even if she was just putting on a show, she couldn't act like she had let it go too quickly, otherwise Yue Zhen would think she was too easy to talk to, and his guilt towards her would quickly disappear.
That's not what Liu Yaozhu wants. She wants Yue Zhen to feel guilty about her for the rest of his life. That's what's best for her.
"Yaozhu..."
"Alright," Liu Yaozhu interrupted Yue Zhen, her expression quickly becoming cold, "Go away! Don't show up in front of me for a while, otherwise I'm afraid I will only resent you more. If that happens, our relationship will reach a dead end, and the love between husband and wife will probably be exhausted."
"Besides, since you are going to take a concubine, you should focus on having children in the future and make your concubine pregnant as soon as possible. That is what you should do most, Yue Zhen, instead of always disgusting me."
Yue Zhen looked extremely hurt. Even though he was a tall and strong man, his eyes turned red because of Liu Yaozhu's repeated attacks.
"Then you go to bed early. I'll go to sleep in the front yard." As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Zhen took heavy steps and walked out.
How he wished Yaozhu could stop him, but this was just his wishful thinking. Liu Yaozhu was not reluctant to let him go at all. After all, Liu Yaozhu was really disgusted with Yue Zhen now and didn't want to sleep in the same bed with him at all.
"Madam, why did you let the general go?" After Yue Zhen walked out, Birou and Biyun came in from outside, and it was Birou who spoke first. "I saw that the general looked hurt when he left. Did Madam say something to the general?"
