I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 476 - 85: Let Him Have His Way
Taiwu Royal Palace.
Du Mengyan wore a purple dress embroidered with golden phoenixes, a cloud stepping hairpin in her hair, and a touch of blue mark at her brow, exuding an indescribable dignity and majesty.
She was dealing with memorials at this time, her expression calm and indifferent, handling world affairs with a stroke of the pen, displaying an imperial demeanor.
A golden light descended from the sky, transformed mid-air, revealing the figure of Lu Chengfeng. He had been pondering something and now witnessing Du Mengyan handling the memorials, he felt a buzz in his head.
"Could it really be her?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Is Du Mengyan the reincarnation of the Empress?"
"Such majesty and demeanor, comprehending the Destiny Law, and having interaction with Chu Tiange."
"Moreover, in the memory of ten thousand years into the future, she also intersected with Chu Tiange."
Lu Chengfeng was seventy percent sure by now that Du Mengyan was the reincarnation of the Empress, and he couldn’t help but carefully observe this beautiful senior sister of his.
She was undoubtedly a beauty, and unlike other wives and concubines, exuded a sense of refinement and nobility, not from her attire, but from an aura originating from her bloodline and soul.
Somehow, Lu Chengfeng suddenly found the blue mark on her brow somewhat familiar, as if he’d seen it somewhere before.
"Senior Sister Du Mengyan possesses the Bihua Immortal Bone..."
While he was contemplating, Du Mengyan, who had been handling memorials, also noticed him, slightly raising her head to reveal a slender, fair neck, and inquired somewhat surprised, "Junior Brother Lu, why have you come all of a sudden? Weren’t you going to deal with Red County? Has something happened?"
Lu Chengfeng collected his scattered thoughts, coughed lightly, and said, "Senior sister, I have a request."
Du Mengyan paused her actions, "Speak, for you to speak with such formality, and at this time, it must be very important."
No matter how thick Lu Chengfeng’s skin was, he felt a bit embarrassed at this moment, so he cautiously tested, "Senior sister, why don’t we get married first?"
Du Mengyan was initially a little stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh aloud, "Junior Brother, what are you playing at now? There’s important business, better get to it!"
She lowered her gaze as she spoke, appearing nonchalant, as if she didn’t take Lu Chengfeng’s words to heart at all.
Lu Chengfeng, with boldness, stepped forward, approaching Du Mengyan, and spoke with some flattery, "Senior sister, I’m serious. This journey, my life is uncertain, I may not return."
"My only regret is not being able to marry you."
"Senior sister, can you agree to this?"
"No!" Du Mengyan replied without lifting her head.
Lu Chengfeng was truly taken aback now. He had always known Du Mengyan had feelings for him.
Back then, when they lived under the enemy’s nose at the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, Du Mengyan’s affection and fondness for him were undeniable.
But now... why did she reject him so decisively?
"Why?" Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but ask.
Du Mengyan’s tone was calm, "I don’t know why you suddenly brought this up, or what your intentions are, but I won’t agree to it. You’d better leave!"
Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath, looking at her puzzled, "Senior sister, why is this? Weren’t we mutually in love before? Why are you so heartless now?"
"Heartless?" Du Mengyan was almost amused by this man’s shamelessness, and finally set down her jade pen, slowly straightening up, her cloud stepping hairpin slightly swaying, scattering brilliant light, making her appear even more exquisite and ethereal.
"I admit, I was once moved by you, even when you flirted with other women in front of me, I thought it was for survival, a necessity."
"Even though I knew you had other wives, I couldn’t help being moved by you."
"But so what?"
"You and Chu Zhihe made such a commotion, the two of you loved each other intensely, even raising a storm, not hesitating to cause havoc in the Royal Capital and slaughter hundreds at the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre just to rescue his son."
"From start to finish, did you ever consider me?"
Du Mengyan stared into Lu Chengfeng’s eyes, her face full of ridicule, "Are you still shameless enough to talk about mutual love with me? In the end, I was just the one being foolish!"
"Even setting aside the matter with Chu Zhihe, after you became Regent King, you casually threw me a Dual Cultivation Technique. What do you take me for?"
"Did you ever give me the respect I deserve?"
"You simply regarded me as one of the many women around you, an insignificant role, never truly caring for me."
"Do you have the nerve to say such things to me?"
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly stepped forward, attempting to grab Du Mengyan’s hand, but she deftly avoided him.
"Speak directly if you have something to say, don’t pull or push." Du Mengyan’s face was all coldness.
Lu Chengfeng realized he was truly suffering from the consequences of his own actions. Indeed, he had merely used Du Mengyan in the past, with no genuine affection or tenderness, and compared to Luo Suyi, even towards Chu Zhihe, he had ultimately been more sincere.
Who would have thought that in the end, his life would hinge on this woman’s whim.
Even if he himself felt guilty, at this moment he could only thicken his skin, continuing to appease her.
"Senior sister, I know I was wrong in the past. Back then, I only focused on cultivation, aspired to refine a Magical Treasure, and ascend. I know I ignored your feelings over the years."
