After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"Since you know it all in your heart, then I am confused."

Pei Changjing's eyes were full of mockery.

"Now, what do you want to do?"

Yang lowered her eyes guiltily.

"I, I don't understand what the prince means. Now it is the occasion of my father's birthday, so I am naturally busy with this matter."

Pei Changjing completely lost his patience with the other party's evasiveness. He simply tore through the paper and got straight to the point.

"I thought the reminder I gave you last time was enough, but it seems that I was wrong. Since you, Princess Xuan, are so capable of taking on the responsibility for your family, you don't have to be so cautious next time.

Every time you make a mistake, I will punish the Yang family. I want to see whether your method is better or mine is better."

boom!

"You are the one who exposed my second brother's affairs?"

Yang suddenly raised her head and looked over, her eyes full of disbelief, questioning and anger.

"You, how could you do this? My second brother studied hard for more than ten years to get the title, how could you have the heart to ruin his career?"

"Why not?"

Pei Changjing straightened his sleeves, his tone a little nonchalant.

"Since your brother dared to embezzle the river silver, I naturally have the obligation to catch him. How can a corrupt person claim to be wronged?

In other words, he is not too greedy, and he is lucky to have a good sister like you who is willing to sacrifice herself for your brother, and you are willing to sell your dowry to help him fill the hole.

Being able to rescue you intact is already a result of my extra mercy, what else do you want?"

Yang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never thought that the man beside her could be such a cruel and heartless person who didn't care about her dignity as his wife at all.

"He's my biological brother, born of the same mother! How can I have the face to go back to my mother's house in the future if you treat me so cruelly?"

"Brothers from the same mother? So these are the four words you recognize."

Pei Changjing stood up and slowly walked in front of the other person. His obviously suppressed anger frightened Yang so much that she shrank back involuntarily.

"Husband, you..."

"What are you afraid of? I wouldn't hit a woman, would I?"

He said self-deprecating words, and his eyes were so cold that it seemed as if there were ice knives spinning and stirring inside, which was a kind of intimidation that could make people feel uneasy.

"Yang Muxue, you know that your second brother is born to the same mother as you. But don't you know that Dai Xiaoqi is also my only biological sibling? You look down on her openly or secretly, but aren't you looking down on me?"

"I didn't! We are a loving couple, and we are as close as a couple. When did I ever look down on you?"

Yang defended herself with a grim look on her face, tears of grievance flashing in her eyes, and she was still trying to make her husband understand her true intentions.

"She, she is mentally retarded. Not only does she always get into trouble, but she also repeatedly involves our family. I am worried that she will cause some big trouble in the future. What will we do then?"

"You also know that she is mentally handicapped, so why are you unwilling to be more tolerant? Would I let you suffer? Would my father let me suffer?

To put it another way, even if she really gets into some terrible trouble, her father and brother will cover her up, so why should you worry?

In the end, you are just selfish or you are jealous of her?"

"I didn't! I really did it all for the sake of His Majesty's great cause! If you have a princess who is always a hindrance and has offended all the civil and military officials in the court as your sister, who would be willing to follow and be loyal to you in the future?"

Some of these words were sincere, but most of them were selfish, and Pei Changjing knew it. But for Pei Zheng's sake, he still planned to give Yang a last chance of respect.

"I don't care what your thoughts are that make you dislike Xiao Qi everywhere. But I tell you, Yang Muxue, Xiao Qi is not only my sister, she is also my father's daughter, the most honorable princess of the dynasty!

If you can change your mind from now on, that would be great. If you can't change your mind and just want to keep going, I won't force you. I'll take Pei Zheng away so that he won't grow up in the backyard and ruin his character.

I hope you can understand one thing, that I have not taken a concubine in all these years simply because I did not want to, not because I could not, and certainly not because I did not dare to!

You, take care of yourself. "

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the inner room when he heard a sharp cry behind him, full of resentment, unwillingness, grievance and heartache.

"Pei Changjing, you want to betray me?!"

Yang came back to her senses, staggered over and grabbed his sleeve, the panic in her eyes was clearly visible.

"I am your wife. I am the one who has accompanied you through all the ups and downs. I gave birth to your eldest son. I am the one who is closest to you and the one who is most like-minded with you! Now you are so cruel to me for an outsider? Pei Changjing, you have no conscience!"

Every word of Yang's crying pierced Pei Changjing's ears, making him close his eyes in sadness. He exerted a little force with his arms to free his robe sleeve from the other party's hand.

"You still don't understand. How can Xiao Qi be an outsider? She is a gift from my mother. How can the love between you and me as husband and wife, and the love between her and me as brother and sister, not coexist?

Are you really on the same page with me? Did you really not know anything about me being chased on Jiangnan Road? Shen Mufeng's old generals risked their lives to rescue me, so why did the token I gave you suddenly disappear? "

A series of questions tore apart the last bit of affection between the couple, and Yang burst into tears in embarrassment.

"I, I didn't know that my second brother would join the Fourth Prince. He was trapped in Daming Mansion and asked me for help, but I had no choice but to let him go. Who knew that you would be in danger later? Husband, I really didn't mean to not save you!"

Pei Changjing's heart trembled for a moment, and a little sharp pain gently pierced his chest, piercing the self-deception he had been living in for so long.

He thought this was really ridiculous, for himself and Yang Muxue. It turned out that the love between husband and wife and the love between siblings had their own logic of understanding in her.

"For the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, I'm going to give you this last warning.

In the future, it is best to hide your little thoughts where no one can see them. If your father finds out, you don’t want to know the consequences.

If I find out that you dare to do anything again, Yang Muxue, I will not show mercy to you anymore!"

He left without hesitation, without looking back at Princess Xuan who was crying on the ground. Yang cried without caring about the dignity of a princess, because she knew that from now on, she was just Princess Xuan.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, the crescent moon hung in the east, and the round sun had already set in the west. They were clearly in the same sky, but they had already gone their separate ways.
