CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 144: YOU UNGRATEFUL BEASTS, DEFEND YOURSELVES IF YOU WANT!

She truly did not expect these people would bully others to this extent!

So many people were present!

Listening to the continuous shouts of "bastard," they remained indifferent!

Even more people were there just for the spectacle, for the laughs!

This was at the royal banquet, how about on ordinary days?

How exactly did they bully this man beside her, who shed blood and sweat for the country?!

On what grounds?!

Yun Chunnuan’s breathing became rapid, and she felt a surge of hot blood rushing to her head, causing her eyes to heat up with anger.

Her original discontent with the King reached an unprecedented height!

Ignoring her fear, she interrupted before he finished speaking.

Yelyu Erlun was surprised by the Little Princess’s audacity. He had long heard she was a brash and unruly person, but he didn’t expect her to dare to contradict even him.

He furrowed his thick brows, blew out his beard, and angrily reprimanded, "Recklessly bold! Truly recklessly bold! A Princess of Great Xia dares to come to Bianliao to question me?! Well, tell me, how have I not treated that boy as a son? When it comes to food, clothing, and everything good, hasn’t he always been given the first choice? Even when it comes to..."

"Hiss—"

Once again, his speech was cut off halfway by the extremely piercing laughter in the otherwise silent grand hall.

"Great King, do you know what ’bastard’ means? If you don’t, I, your daughter-in-law, happen to know and can translate it for you."

Yun Chunnuan glanced at the woman to his left.

She saw her eyes reddened, yet instead of stopping her, she gently nodded in encouragement.

Yun Chunnuan didn’t know how much grievance this mother and son had suffered in this deep palace.

She only saw that her future mother-in-law, who always held her head high and her back straight, suddenly appeared deflated... very deflated.

The future mother-in-law couldn’t bear to look at the man beside her, her son...

When she followed her beloved King to Bianliao, perhaps in her wildest dreams, she never imagined what sort of indelible mark she would leave on her child.

"Bastard means the offspring resulting from different species. Great King, you also have a share in the production of this bastard, yet you just stand by watching your own son being called a bastard without ever stopping it?

Can you bear it if it’s you being insulted? After all, no matter how many bastards there are in your palace, they are all your own production!"

"You, you, you—guards!"

"What, does the Great King intend to punish this Princess? Unfortunately, according to the peace treaty with Bianliao, no matter how much fault this Princess has, she can only be sent back to Great Xia for a decision. You don’t have the authority.

Also, this Death Exemption Token, the Great King should be familiar with it, right?"

The respectful approach followed by force was taught to her by her future mother-in-law!

It was approved by her husband!

Under the table, her little hands trembling with anger were gently held.

Yelyu Lie discovered for the first time that his little wife was actually quite resilient.

Her tears only fell in front of him.

Even though her eyes were now brimming with tears, she slightly raised her head, not allowing them to fall.

Yelyu Erlun was about to explode with rage!

Always speaking softly to the woman on his left, today he restrained his fury and scolded, "What a good son you have brought up! The wife is such a defiance against the King, yet you didn’t stop it! You even dare to give her the Death Exemption Token conferred by Taizu! What, where are you going?!"

As he spoke, Ayimu had already stood up.

Her once deep, affectionate green eyes were now filled only with disappointment...

No, it should be said, despair.

Even the last spark in her eyes was extinguished.

"Has that child spoken even half an error? You’re upset? Feeling the anger? My son has been insulted freely for twenty-five years, did you ever genuinely feel heartache for him?

You always say, the child is still young, the words of a child are unrestrained.

I must ask you, when will they grow up?

Who will give my son his childhood back!!!"

She was so beautiful, that even when she shed tears, it was a beauty that drew all eyes.

Yelyu Erlun stared at those mesmerizing green eyes, in which he was entranced since he first saw them, and his throat felt as though it was suddenly stuffed with cotton, and his roar couldn’t come out.

He only murmured a feeble defense, "Didn’t you say you didn’t care?"

"Didn’t care?" Ayimu laughed in anger, "What use is it if I do care?! You’ll always say it’s just child’s play! I have fought and quarreled, and in the end, I lost a daughter!

Where’s the murderer? Is there an explanation to this day?

If I hadn’t steeled my heart to send my son into the army, would he also have turned into a cold corpse long ago?"

Listening to her future mother-in-law’s questions, Yun Chunnuan noticed the man beside her suddenly stiffened.

He looked at his mother, filled with disbelief in his eyes.

Yun Chunnuan hurriedly placed her other hand on his rough hand back.

Her husband had been wronged.

Her future mother-in-law, even more so, humiliated over the years.

It turned out the rumors were not true; she had always considered her son’s interests, and always cared deeply for him.

It’s precisely because of her deep care that she painfully sent him to the army.

When he suffered hardships, she must have wept her eyes out day and night.

Perhaps...

He had just discovered the truth about his mother’s decision to send him to the army.

The future mother-in-law wasn’t unperturbed, it was that the man she admired so greatly had completely eroded all her trust.

She was in despair, so she protected her only son in her own way.

Even if the world called her ruthless and heartless.

She looked at the man beside her with concern, only to find a faint dark green emerging in his amber pupils.

Just like when he was impulsive.

That dark green, spreading like a serpent’s tongue, slowly occupied most of his eyeball.

Yun Chunnuan followed his gaze, and he was looking at the Queen, who had been holding a cat and watching the spectacle.

Yun Chunnuan gently furrowed her brows and turned her head.

Perplexed as to what had happened, she suddenly heard a sharp cat’s meow from the high seat...
