Chapter 805 Throwing Out Such a Big Bait

“Your Highness, do you know anything?” Shao Wanru bit her lip, suppressed the countless thoughts in her heart, and asked.

Chu Liuyue had been staring at her. Having noticed the slightly reddened eyes under her long curly eyelashes, he realized that he was right about her. He couldn’t help softening his face and said, “I do know something.”

“Your Highness, what can I do to make you willing to tell me that?” Shao Wanru raised her eyes and asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth. There was a hint of coldness in her smile, but she didn’t intend to hide it.

Since Chu Liuyue mentioned it at this time, he must have his own purpose. He came all the way here and he found the softest spot in her heart. So he must be up to something.

Chu Liuyue didn’t say anything, but his eyes fell on her beautiful little face. Her face was slightly pale, but the rims of her eyes were red. She was extremely beautiful, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, which made people feel that she was gentle and stubborn. But her words were trenchant, which was completely inconsistent with her gentle appearance.

But this made her even more pitiful.

She had a poor family background. Her parents had died and she had been homeless for many years. She was adopted but she had not been treated as their biological daughter by her step-parents and had even almost been destroyed by others. Although she had found her roots in Duke Xing’s Mansion, she had not been acknowledged by the people in it. So she had been living on the edge of this family.

Everyone knew that Fifth Miss Shao was the most unfavored one in Duke Xing’s Mansion.

A hint of pity inexplicably rose in his heart, and the corners of his eyes softened. “Fifth Miss, you don’t have to be so hard on yourself!”

She was the only one supporting the eldest branch of Duke Xing’s Mansion, and her biological younger brother was raised in Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s Mansion. After Chu Liuyue finished speaking, his deep eyes fell on Shao Wanru’s porcelain-white face. Since he saw her in the palace last time, he often dreamed about this woman.

In the past, when he had a good relationship with Shao Yanru, he had never seen Shao Yanru in his dreams. But now, he had not expected that he would think of Shao Wanru and couldn’t help pulling her into his arms.

“Your Highness, please tell me your conditions!” Shao Wanru frowned and said. She didn’t like the way Chu Liuyue looked at her, as if she was something that belonged to him.

Looking into her cold eyes, Chu Liuyue’s face gradually turned cold. “Fifth Miss, if you are willing to dwell in my mansion, I will definitely protect you and help you find out what happened in the past. I will also avenge your parents!”

Chu Liuyue didn’t intend to beat around the bush anymore. He said bluntly with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Although he sounded could, his attitude was very clear. He wanted Shao Wanru to marry him.

Shao Wanru was stunned for a moment, then her eyes became colder and colder with a trace of disgust in them. She really hated Chu Liuyue more than anyone else. In her last life, she died in the hands of Chu Liuyue. Now, he said that he wanted her to marry him. She didn’t know why he was so confident that he believed that she would obey him.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I won’t step into that mansion!” Shao Wanru raised the corners of her mouth and said sarcastically.

He wanted her to live in his place instead of marrying her as his legal wife. Was it because he thought she really had no status in Duke Xing’s Mansion? Besides, even if he asked her to be his legal wife, she would not agree, let alone move into his palace.

“Why? You don’t have a good life in Duke Xing’s Mansion. With my help, people in Duke Xing’s Mansion will no longer look down on you. I can even help your brother get the title of Duke Xing?” Chu Liuyue really felt strange. He felt that the offer he made was so alluring that at least she wouldn’t refuse if she needed time to think it through.

“I won’t lower myself for the sake of my brother’s title!” Shao Wanru said coldly. She really didn’t understand why Chu Liuyue was so confident that she had to rely on him.

“How is this degrading yourself? Fifth Miss, I really want you to live with me. But as you know, although you have a high status now, you don’t have the power to let My mother give us her consent to the marriage. There will definitely be another powerful Miss from an aristocratic family in this pageant. But you don’t have to be afraid. The position of the legal wife will still end up with you in the end!”

Chu Liuyue’s voice became softer and softer, but it also made Shao Wanru more and more disgusted.

He felt that this woman would definitely be moved after hearing his words. He had made his intention very clear. She was the only one in his heart, so he would not let her be wronged. The current grievance she felt now was only temporary, and in the end, he would watch the world with his hand in hers.

Shao Wanru smiled sweetly and shook her head gently. “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I’m afraid I have to let you down!”

“Why?” Chu Liuyue didn’t understand and frowned.

“Your Highness, do you mean that I should settle down in your Mansion first, and then drive the legal wife away and sit on that chair myself?” Shao Wanru tilted her head slightly, which made her look like an innocent child. Her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, were so charming that they calmed Chu Liuyue’s anger when he saw her.

She nodded and he said: “You can think of it that way!”

“Your Highness, I don’t have the ability to drive away your legal wife, so you’d better marry someone else.” Shao Wanru shook her head again.

Chu Liuyue didn’t understand what she meant. After thinking for a while, he thought that maybe this woman didn’t believe that she was able to outwit his legal wife, so he said bluntly, “Don’t worry. If you can’t do it, I will help you to drive away the woman who has occupied the position of my legal wife.”

Her words were very straightforward and clear. Chu Liuyue felt that Shao Wanru would definitely be moved, so he relaxed a little and waited for Shao Wanru to agree.

“Your Highness, I don’t have the ability to agree with this matter, nor will I drive your legal wife away from her current position. Grandmother will never agree to let me be a concubine.” Shao Wanru said in a low voice without any hesitation, “As for what you have in your hand, if you can tell me, I will certainly thank you. But if you are unwilling to tell me, I’m afraid I have to ask you to leave!”

After saying that, Shao Wanru stood up and bowed sideways to Chu Liuyue, who was sitting in the first seat. She said respectfully but indifferently, “If there is nothing else, please go back, Your Highness. Miss Qi has been waiting outside for a long time.”

Was he rejected? There was a hint of coldness in Chu Liuyue’s eyes and his face darkened. He slapped the table, suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, and approached Shao Wanru. “Fifth Miss, do you know what you are doing?”

He didn’t expect that she would refuse him. Even if he mentioned Rui’an Great Elder Princess, he couldn’t ignore the fact that she refused him. Chu Liuyue had never been so humble before a woman, so he became furious.

Shao Wanru took a step back, lowered her head, and said gently but firmly, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. My grandma is in charge of my marriage. I’m afraid that I can’t promise you anything!”

It was impossible to ask Rui’an Great Elder Princess to agree to let her granddaughter be a concubine. Although Rui’an Great Elder Princess did not have real power, she had a good relationship with Empress Dowager. If she went to Empress Dowager to complain, Shao Wanru would be utterly disgraced in the end.

Chu Liuyue gnashed his teeth, and his eyes were almost burning with anger. Looking at Shao Wanru’s long curly eyelashes, he was full of hatred and annoyance. He felt that women were so unreasonable. There was obviously a better way, but she insisted on going against him in this way. He thought was really too much.

He wanted to leave, but she was reluctant to do so. He subconsciously reached out to touch her pink little face, but when his hand was about to touch it, Shao Wanru took a few steps back.

“Your Highness!”

“Okay, I promise you. I’ll marry you as my legal wife directly. That’s enough, isn’t it? Shao Wanru, you should know that I compromised because I truly love you. If it were any other woman, in your current situation, she would at most be a concubine!”

With his hands behind his back, Chu Liuyue scolded Shao Wanru with a cold face.

Shao Wanru was so angry that she almost laughed. How could Chu Liuyue be so confident that she was eager to be his legal wife? It seemed that she deliberately rejected him for that position.

She laughed. Although her laughter was light, it was still audible. She slowly raised her head, looked at Chu Liuyue, and said with her eyes slowly turning cold, “Your Highness, don’t you like my Big Sister? Why did you turn to me now? I heard from my Big Sister that you and my Big Sister used to be affectionate to each other. Now my Big Sister doesn’t want you anymore, so you turn to me?”

Her words were merciless and exposed the love affair between the two and Chu Liuyue’s hypocritical behavior in front of everyone.

The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

Chu Liuyue was stunned and his face stiffened. Then he glared at Shao Wanru fiercely and said, “Fifth Miss, do you know what you have just said?”

He had never expected that Shao Wanru would suddenly say such words and that Shao Wanru would know what had happened between him and her. For a moment, he was ashamed, angry, and ashamed after being exposed. All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and that he was so angry that his face turned blue.

After he finished saying those words, he waved his sleeve, turned around, and left.

There were plenty of beauties in the world, and many of them knew their places. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t find a woman more suitable for him except for Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru was very ignorant. He would definitely teach her a lesson. She didn’t want to marry him? Then he would let her marry an inferior person and see if she still had the courage to say such words in front of him.

Chu Liuyue left angrily and took away Qi Rongzhi, who was outside the door. When the footsteps sounded far away, Yujie put down her clenched fists. Her palms were covered with sweat. At that moment, she was really afraid that Prince Cheng would take action. The fury in that man’s eyes made Yujie vigilant at all times.

“Wasn’t Prince Yue always interested in First Miss? Why did he fall in love with her now? Could it be because of Duke Xing’s Mansion? What should she do now? Prince Yue was driven away by her!”

“Miss, will Prince Yue go against us?” Yujie was a little panicked. They were still in the palace, and no one knew if something would happen.
