Chapter 116 He is mine
Wu Ziyan grasped Han Yuxiu's hand, her eyes conveying reassurance. Han Yuxiu nodded, knowing that they were discussing matters of national importance and he couldn't act impulsively.
Well, he was right!
"Yu Xiu, Yu Xiu, sometimes I even suspect your mouth is blessed! Do you remember what you said last time?"
Han Yuxiu also recalled what he had said and felt embarrassed!
The negotiations fell silent. At this moment, Adal stood up, looked at Han Yuxiu, and said, "It's the Second Prince of the Northern Desert. Compared to that nobody beside you, I can give you much more! I can make you the most honored man!"
Wu Chengji looked shocked, glancing at Wu Ziyan, then at Adar, then at Han Yuxiu. What had she just heard?
Weren't they talking about business? How did it turn into talking about men? She despises marriage alliances the most. If you're not happy, just fight! What's with all the talk?
"Our country has agreed to all these harsh conditions. You can't possibly be unwilling to part with even one man, can you?"
"Ah...this...well, that's a question for our current Fourth Prince, whether she's willing or not!"
Wu Chengji didn't know how to answer, so he directly shifted the blame onto Wu Ziyan. She had originally wanted to hide her identity and be her little follower, but now the blame had fallen on her again.
Han Yuxiu also remembered that he had asked this question before, and Wu Ziyan's answer was absolutely not. Faced with this situation of dialogue between the two countries, he didn't know if that answer would change.
If things change, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is something that benefits the people. If it really comes to that, he can still do it. He can just go over there and drug them all!
"Oh dear, why are you all looking at me like that? Your Highness Adal, Your Highness Afu, please sit down, let's have a good chat."
"I never expected you to be so young... you are actually the Fourth Prince. I wonder if the Fourth Prince would be willing to part with you?"
"Yes, of course you can, Yu Xiu, don't you think so?"
Upon hearing Wu Ziyan's words, Han Yuxiu and Fang Yuerong's expressions immediately changed. Although they had considered that this might be the outcome, hearing it come from her mouth still felt different.
Han Yuxiu lowered his eyes, no longer looking at Wu Ziyan. Women's words are deceitful; he had actually believed them back then, but now she so casually uttered the word "can."
"However, Your Highness Adal, do you dare to accept this? He is the man of the Fourth Prince of the Wu Dynasty, and you are also a man! It would be a ridiculous joke to be recorded in history!"
"If you want, I will definitely write a thick book of lyrics and sing your praises every day on the border. Oh no, not only on the border, I will definitely sing your praises in every prefecture and county of our Wu Dynasty, and even put on a variety show to praise your deeds!"
"Wow, I've even thought of a title for the play: The prince of the Northern Desert is willing to go head-to-head with the fourth prince of the Wu Dynasty in order to win a man!"
"How was it? Not bad, right? I wonder what Your Highness Afu thinks? I noticed you were giving my older sister a very affectionate look. You're not like your younger brother, are you!"
"I feel sorry for the Northern Desert, but we are happy. Since there is no heir, our Wu Dynasty will simply annex it all!"
Wu Ziyan launched into a long speech, each word piercing the heart. Adal blushed with embarrassment, and Afu also looked uncomfortable, as if Wu Ziyan had seen through her.
"We were unaware that you were Prince Chengji's sister. We apologize for our rudeness."
"We know you've been rude, so why don't you apologize to us? How dare you covet my man? Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who my sister is!"
They had originally wanted to find a way to back down, but Wu Ziyan was so aggressive. They looked at each other and asked, "So, what does the Fourth Prince want?"
"Then let's add another clause: I will take 35% of the profits from all business dealings with the royal family!"
"you!"
"Don't blame me for going too far. You provoked me first. His Highness Adal made an agreement with us, promising not to covet my man again. Now you want to threaten me during negotiations? Have you never heard of the saying in the Wu Dynasty, 'If you can't handle the consequences, you'll regret it'?"
"You!" Adal was furious, but he had nothing to say, after all, he was in the wrong.
"Let me make this clear from the start: I'm very skilled at robbery and warfare. If it weren't for the fact that I don't want to cause trouble for the people and waste resources, and I left them on the border, do you see which state or county would have a good time? You all tremble at the mere mention of my elder sister's name!"
The two adults who came with Wu Chengji [While others sponge off their parents, she sponges off her sister, and most importantly, she talks a good game about it, without any shame, it's not like she's so great!]
"Alright, alright, Fourth Sister, stop talking, or I'll fly to the sky!" Wu Chengji didn't stop her; she just wanted to see just how far Wu Ziyan could go.
Now it seems that her fourth sister has become quite interesting.
"Let's pretend nothing happened and sign the contract," Afu said, trying to smooth things over.
Wu Ziyan slammed her hand on the table and grabbed Han Yuxiu's hand: "Your Highness Adal, you have to apologize to him. Your affection has caused him mental distress."
Han Yuxiu felt very uncomfortable. At first, when she said yes, her words gradually became more and more strange, and she kept referring to her man. He was so embarrassed.
The other party was royalty; it was almost impossible for him, a commoner, to apologize. He originally wanted Wu Ziyan to let it go, but Wu Ziyan's eyes didn't seem to be just going through the motions.
Left with no other choice, Adal stood up, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, and said sorry.
Wu Ziyan turned her head and looked at Han Yuxiu: "Do you forgive him?"
"I..." He hesitated for a moment, and Wu Ziyan was about to speak again, but he quickly grabbed her hand: "I forgive him, but I hope he will never mention liking me again."
"Did you hear that? Our merciful Bodhisattva Han has already forgiven you. When you were almost dead, it was she who saved you. And now you repay kindness with enmity?" Wu Ziyan pulled the two of them back out, not giving them a chance to talk back.
By the time they realized what had happened, Wu Ziyan and the other two were acting as if they had never been in the hall.
Afu's face darkened, and Adal lowered his head, still thinking that he could use his status to pressure her into giving him Han Yuxiu, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a prince.
"Let's just let bygones be bygones with the antics of my younger siblings. We've signed the treaty, which is like reporting back to the Queen Mother of the family, isn't it?" Wu Chengji said with a smile, trying to give both sides a way out.
"Yes, sign it."
Afu's head was spinning. After signing the contract, they didn't leave Silan Pavilion, but went to another room.
In a room on the fourth floor, Afu stared coldly at Adal. Adal didn't dare to utter a sound, only occasionally glancing up at his sister. He didn't even dare to make a sound when drinking water.
"Sister?"
"Ok!"
"Have you taken a fancy to that princess?"
