The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 393 A coincidence

Unfortunately, Zhang Xingchen came from a poor family, which is why he couldn't keep Yang Xiaoqian as his wife. Since Yang Xiaoqian's father fell ill, by chance, she became Zhao Tianming's wife. To avoid suspicion, the two haven't seen each other for several years.

Now that the two have met, Yang Xiaoqian breathes in the other's familiar scent, and the woman actually blushes a little. Zhang Xingchen looks at the beautiful woman in front of him, and his heart can't help but tremble.

When Zhang Xingchen thought of the angry look Chen Er had given him earlier, he secretly made up his mind that even if it was for Chen Er's sake, he would not care about losing face. So, after thinking about this, Zhang Xingchen mustered up his courage and grabbed Yang Xiaoqian's soft little hand.

The woman felt the warmth of Zhang Xingchen's hand. Although she was now Zhao Tianming's wife, and although she didn't see Zhao Tianming often, he treated Yang Xiaoqian very well.

"Brother Zhang Xingchen, please don't do this. I'm already married to someone else, so please don't bother me anymore," Yang Xiaoqian pleaded.

"Yang Xiaoqian, my family used to be poor, and I felt I wasn't good enough for you. But now that I'm the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I have the right to give you a better life. Are you willing to come with me?"

Yang Xiaoqian didn't know why Zhang Xingchen would say such things today, but these were things that should have been said more than ten years ago.

But it might be too late to say anything now, so Yang Xiaoqian struggled out of Zhang Xingchen's arms, biting her lip until it bled, without even noticing.

“I’m sorry, Brother Zhang Xingchen, I can’t go with you like this. I’ve already become Zhao Tianming’s wife. Doing this would be a betrayal. You probably don’t want me to become that kind of fickle woman, do you?”

Yang Xiaoqian's voice trembled, her eyes reddened, and a single tear welled up in her eye.

Zhang Xingchen looked at Yang Xiaoqian with deep affection, took her hand and said, "Zhao Tianming has already fallen from power. If you stay here, you'll only be living a life of celibacy. You're the one who told me about Zhao Tianming's corruption, bribery, and embezzlement."

Zhao Tianming's words really stirred up a hornet's nest. Yang Xiaoqian never expected that she would run into Brother Zhang Xingchen when she got drunk in a small bar a few years ago.

Zhang Xingchen learned from Yang Xiaoqian that Yang Xiaoqian had become Zhao Tianming's wife and that she also knew about Zhao Tianming's secret stash of money. Zhang Xingchen was shocked.

But Yang Xiaoqian smiled and said, "It's nothing, because Yang Xiaoqian's favorite person is still Brother Zhang Xingchen. Even if she becomes someone else's wife, she is willing to make sacrifices for Zhang Xingchen."

Zhang Xingchen was moved to tears at that moment, and she secretly vowed to ruin Zhao Tianming's career no matter what, because Zhao Tianming had too many wives. Although he treated Yang Xiaoqian well, he would definitely waste Yang Xiaoqian's youth.

This was not the outcome Zhang Xingchen wanted to see. At this moment, Yang Xiaoqian learned from Zhang Xingchen that Zhao Tianming had fallen from power. The woman was a little surprised, but Yang Xiaoqian was more incredulous because Zhao Tianming still had people above him. How could he fall so easily?

"Brother Zhang Xingchen, you must be lying to me, right? You just want me to go with you, but I'm not good enough for you anymore."

Yang Xiaoqian actually wanted to go with Zhang Xingchen, but then she thought about how she had been Zhao Tianming's mistress for several years.

Although he had not left Zhao Tianming with any offspring, he already felt sorry for his kind-hearted older brother Zhang Xingchen, but Zhang Xingchen did not give up.

"Yang Xiaoqian, I swear to God I will only be good to you from now on. I won't even look at other women. Come with me now, I can't bear to see you suffer like this anymore." Zhang Xingchen's words brought tears to the woman's eyes once again. Yang Xiaoqian cried and hugged Zhang Xingchen's strong body. Zhang Xingchen felt a little guilty. He had long since hated that bastard Chen Er to the core.

If Zhang Xingchen were to lead warriors into battle, he would undoubtedly be the most formidable. However, when it came to playing emotional games, Zhang Xingchen was truly at his wit's end. He gritted his teeth, knowing that he should speak up, otherwise he would feel too guilty.

"Yang Xiaoqian, I need you to do me a small favor. Although it's a bit unfair of me to do this, I won't force you. If you don't want to, I absolutely won't force you to do anything you don't like," Zhang Xingchen said again.

But what he said surprised Yang Xiaoqian a little: "Brother Zhang Xingchen, you and I know each other so well. We've been childhood sweethearts. Just tell me what you need, and I won't refuse." Yang Xiaoqian asked in confusion.

Zhang Xingchen made up his mind before saying, "Although Zhao Tianming has fallen, you also know that there is still Zhao Beixing above him. In order to completely destroy Zhao Tianming, we must ask you to add another crime to Zhao Tianming's list."

Zhang Xingchen felt he was being incredibly awful. How could he force the woman he loved to do such a beastly thing? After all, Zhao Tianming had treated Yang Xiaoqian very well. But to Zhang Xingchen's surprise, Yang Xiaoqian didn't refuse and nodded her head firmly.

“What’s the big deal? But I don’t know what to do. All I know is that Zhao Tianming has a secret stash of money. I haven’t gotten anything else from him. How can I help you?” Yang Xiaoqian’s words surprised Zhang Xingchen.

Logically speaking, Yang Xiaoqian, whom he knew, was a person of great loyalty and affection, especially since Zhao Tianming had helped Yang Xiaoqian's father through a difficult time a few years ago.

“You were forced to marry Zhao Tianming. If you say that, then Zhao Tianming won’t be sent to Wei Zhongxian. Once Zhao Tianming falls into the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there’s no way to save him.”

Zhang Xingchen then told Yang Xiaoqian what was on his mind.

The scene that Zhang Xingchen had imagined Yang Xiaoqian would refuse did not occur; instead, Yang Xiaoqian readily agreed.

"Although Zhao Tianming treated me well, I didn't want to marry him back then. I just wanted to come to Zhao Tianming's residence as a maid and help my father with his medical treatment."

But on that rainy night, Zhao Tianming forced himself on me, and that's how he gave me a title and made me his concubine." Yang Xiaoqian cried again after saying this.
