The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 136 Ouyang Xuan's Concubine Zhou

Go to Beijing, Ouyang Mansion.

In an elegant room, Zhou Xingyue, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a refined makeup, paced around the room with an anxious look on her face.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening behind her frightened Zhou Xingyue so much that she trembled all over like a frightened bird.

When he turned around and saw who was coming, a look of fear disappeared in an instant.

"Young lady." The person who came in was a little girl dressed as a maid. She was Zhou Xingyue's personal maid, Xiao Cui.

Zhou Xingyue quickly stepped forward, pulled Xiao Cui over, closed the door, and asked softly, "Did you find out anything?"

Xiao Cui shook her head timidly, and said in a panic, "The servant beside the young master said that the young master had a huge rage in the study today."

boom!

As soon as Xiao Cui finished speaking, the door that had just been closed was pushed open.

The two of them shuddered with fear.

The person who broke open the door was a follower dressed in black, and the person who walked into the room was the handsome young man who was always as gentle as jade, Ouyang Xuan.

A hint of fear flashed across Zhou Xingyue's eyes, but she quickly covered it up with composure. She tried to force out a gentle smile and greeted him, "Sir."

Ouyang Xuan had a faint smile on his face. The smile was so beautiful, like the gentle breeze in the sun, or even more like the bright white moon, so clean without any impurities.

But Zhou Xingyue knew what kind of face was hidden behind Ouyang Xuan's smile. His thoughts and appearance were two completely different things. He was vicious and cunning, and no one could really see through his heart.

Ouyang Xuan gave Xiao Cui a gentle look.

Xiao Cui swallowed twice, not daring to raise her head. She quickly greased the soles of her feet, walked out of the room and closed the door.

Only Zhou Xingyue and Ouyang Xuan were left in the room. The huge space was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Zhou Xingyue was so nervous that her heartstrings were tense and she looked at Ouyang Xuan cautiously.

"Sir, do you have something to ask me?"

In the winter two years ago, Ouyang Xuan ordered people to bring Zhou Xingyue and her daughter to Shangjing with great fanfare.

At that time, Zhou Xingyue thought that she was about to have another prosperous future, but she never expected that after arriving in the capital, everything went against her wishes.

Ouyang Xuan took her into his room, but only as a concubine.

The elders of the Ouyang family looked down on her because she was a peasant girl. Moreover, if Ouyang Xuan had not married, she would have to be a concubine if she wanted to stay in the Ouyang Mansion.

Her mother, Lin, was sent to a farm outside Beijing the day after Zhou Xingyue became Ouyang Xuan's concubine. Zhou Xingyue had no idea whether she was dead or alive.

With no outsiders present, Ouyang Xuan seemed to no longer need to pretend. After removing all his appearances, he revealed immense disgust. He turned around and sat down in front of the pearwood tea table, his eyes cold and sinister.

Zhou Xingyue held her breath in panic, walked forward cautiously, picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for him.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xuan waved his big hand with wide sleeves and swept the teacup to the ground.

Bang~

The poured tea splashed onto the table. Zhou Xingyue was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly put down the teapot and knelt on her knees.

"Sir, I have caused you displeasure. Please explain clearly."

Ouyang Xuan sneered and stretched out his hand to pinch Zhou Xingyue's jaw with such force that it hurt so much that tears welled up in Zhou Xingyue's eyes. She looked so delicate and lovable.

However, Ouyang Xuan never fell for the temptation of beautiful women. To him, only interests could sway his mind.

"Do you know that the Huaiwang army suffered a series of crushing defeats? They missed the two cities of Yizhou and Yanzhou?" Ouyang Xuan's voice was low, and it shattered Zhou Xingyue's heart like an ice spike.

"Wha, what?"

Zhou Xingyue opened her tearful eyes wide in disbelief, her face changed drastically, and she even suspected that Ouyang Xuan was lying to her.

How could the Huai Wang army be defeated? It was obvious that the Huai Wang army in the previous life was unstoppable in this chaotic battle. In just five years, they captured all the cities of Daqing, and then broke through the imperial city with a strong momentum, took the throne of Emperor Qing and ascended the throne.

This can't be wrong!

"Sir." Seeing the viciousness in Ouyang Xuan's eyes, Zhou Xingyue knew that he was not lying and the Huai Wang army was really defeated.

What exactly went wrong?

In her previous life, she was always by the Second Prince's side, receiving intelligence reports sent back to the capital at all times, and she did not miss any milestone.

Ouyang Xuan shook her face away in disgust, retracted his hand, sat up straight, and glared at her coldly: "This young master believes that you should know what attracts me the most. If it weren't for your amazing divination skills, this young master wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to get you by my side."

Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, then he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of warm tea. He took a sip and said in a casual tone, "In the past, I did have your help, except for my second uncle who secretly plotted to murder me. You said that the Daqing Dynasty lost power in this chaotic war, and I believed it! You also said that the Prince of Huai would be the next monarch, and I still believe it! That's why I poured most of my Ouyang family's efforts into helping the Prince of Huai. Now the Prince of Huai is losing ground, and it is said that even his own fiefdom of Huizhou is in danger."

Ouyang Xuan's voice became a little more ruthless when he said this: "Zhou, do you want to destroy the Ouyang family in my hands?"

Zhou Xingyue was so frightened that she dared not breathe. She denied it in horror: "No, sir, you have misunderstood me. How could I hurt you? You are the man I love. For you, I am willing to be your concubine. For you—"

"Alright!" Ouyang Xuan interrupted her with disgust: "Don't waste your words on me. You know I don't like to hear them."

Zhou Xingyue was so aggrieved that her throat was choked with grievance, and her delicate sobbing appearance failed to soften Ouyang Xuan's heart at all.

"You claim to be skilled in divination. Have you ever divined the circumstances under which the rebels were able to seize the cities of Yizhou and Yanzhou from the Huaiwang army during this period of turmoil?"

Rebel army?

Zhou Xingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, was startled by the sound. Of course she remembered the rebels. In her previous life, just before she and the Second Prince died at the hands of Prince Huai, she heard the general of Prince Huai's army report that the rebels had entered the imperial city.

But what does it matter? At that time, the King of Huai had already taken the throne, his military was strong, and he had many generals and ministers supporting him. How could the rebel army break through this situation?

During the years of chaotic war, the rebel army was a clown, suffering repeated defeats. Even the royal army did not take them seriously, let alone defeat King Huai.

"You, you said the rebels defeated Prince Huai? No, that's impossible, absolutely impossible." Zhou Xingyue didn't believe it. Tears welled up in her eyes as she clung to Ouyang Xuan's clothes. "Young Master, Young Master—"

"Ah!!" Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xuan raised his foot slightly and kicked the man to the ground.

"Impossible?" Ouyang Xuan was almost amused by this woman. She thought about how she had wrongly trusted this woman, disobeyed her grandfather's wishes, and secretly placed all her bets on Prince Huai.

If Prince Huai were to suffer a crushing defeat in this chaotic battle, wouldn't the century-old foundation of their Ouyang family be ruined?

Ouyang Xuan grew increasingly angry as he looked at the woman lying on the ground, his disgust evident in his heart. But every time he thought about how she had saved his life and how, thanks to her advice, he had escaped the assassination attempt by his family. And thinking of her incredible divination and foresight skills, he couldn't bear to miss out on such a useful chess piece.

"I will give you one last chance. If you still can't figure out who will be the future ruler of the world today, you, your mother, and your two brothers who have taken refuge in Jiangnan, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the dazed woman on the ground. He stood up and strode out of the room, leaving Zhou Xingyue crying softly on the ground.
