I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 2: Trying to make it a fait accompli?

Zhong Liyu's face turned pale, and Gongshu Liang was also puzzled. How could this be different from what he had expected?

How could Zhongli Yueluo say such a thing? Her eyes were as cold as ice when she looked at her!

Zhong Liyu knelt down abruptly, his thin lips pursed, tears welling up in his eyes: "Father, my sister must have been wronged to say such things, after all, she has always loved Young Master Gongshu!"

Zhongli Yueluo stood up from the ground: "I never said I liked him!"

After saying that, he left Taiyuan Hall, leaving Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang staring at each other.

Emperor Zhongli Quan thought that his daughter was threatening him with death to force him to marry her to Gongshu Liang. If she continued to make trouble, he would have no choice but to agree!

He waved his hand, and Zhongli Yu and the other person also left. When they saw Zhongli Yueluo walking ahead, they were both wondering what was going on. How come she seemed like a different person after waking up?

Seeing the chill in their eyes, Zhongli Yu gave Gongshu Liang a wink, and Gongshu Liang understood and chased after her, calling out, "Yueluo, Yueluo, wait for me."

Zhongli Yueluo stopped, and the two men caught up. She stopped, suppressing her nausea. Gongshu Liang tugged at her clothes and said, "Yueluo, didn't we agree to ask the Demon Lord for a marriage? What's wrong with you?"

“A marriage decree? If you really want a marriage decree, I can ask the Emperor to grant you and Zhongli Yu a marriage certificate!” She flung her sleeve forcefully and glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

Zhong Liyu and Gongshu Liang trembled. Did she find out about their relationship?

She still tried to act like a good older sister: "Little sister, what are you saying in anger? Everyone in West Demon Mountain knows about the affair between you and Young Master Gongshu."

"Good sister, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about your mother!"

After saying that, she hurried away. At that moment, what she wanted most was to know before she died that her mother was not dead.

Based on Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang's methods, her mother must still be in Taiyuan City, but her exact location remains to be determined.

Zhong Liyu nearly stumbled back two steps, and Gongshu Liang only helped her up after seeing that no one was around. Zhong Liyu frowned deeply: "That bitch, what exactly does she know!"

"Let's try to gauge her reaction first; maybe she's just throwing a tantrum because she bumped her head."

Gongshu Liang still thought she was that love-struck fool who only knew how to revolve around him and Zhongli Yu.

“That’s true. It’s impossible for someone to hide their talents for over a thousand years. Go and see her first.”

She said she cared about her mother, so could she have known about that matter? Impossible, their meetings were always held in extremely secretive places, it was impossible for outsiders to know!

Yuanyue Pavilion

Qiaoyin and Xiudie stood there, bowing respectfully: "Second Princess, you're back."

Zhongli Yuelu smiled bitterly to herself. In this second life, she had no one she could trust.

These two maids who had grown up with her since childhood were also spies for her stepmother and Gongshu Liang.

“We, the Western Demon Mountain, only have one princess. I hope you remember that clearly.”

Her tone was icy, as if she had lived for millennia despite being only a young adult.

The two maids didn't take it seriously, after all, their mistress was very easy to please.

He probably suffered some injustice outside, which is why he said such a thing.

She entered the study, where, if she remembered correctly, there was a detailed map of Taiyuan City.

They know down to the exact location of secret passages and dog holes.

Before they even started searching, they heard a maidservant bowing outside: "Young Master Gongshu."

Before Gongshu Liang could step into the pavilion, she walked out of the study. Gongshu Liang was at the door, and she stood in the courtyard: "What are you doing here?"

"Yueluo, don't be angry. The words you spoke today have broken my and your sister's hearts."

"But I'm happy. If you really want to marry into my family, then kneel down and beg me."

Zhongli Yuelu smiled with her almond-shaped eyes narrowed, revealing two dimples, looking truly innocent and naive.

In the past, Zhongli Yueluo was always chasing after him. If she really angered him, she could be coaxed back with just a few kind words.

But today her words were barbed: "Yueluo, if you keep this up, then I really have to leave."

Without turning her head, she closed the study door and began searching for a map, but strangely, she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Gongshu Liang gritted his teeth. No, he had to marry her.

Otherwise, how could he proceed to the next step? He didn't linger there and turned to go to Yuanyu Pavilion.

Zhong Liyu reclined on the chaise longue, fanning herself with a round fan, her black hair hanging down in disarray.

Her face, brimming with allure, was adorned with fox-like eyes, arched willow-leaf eyebrows, a pert nose, and thin lips, giving her an air of cold indifference.

Gongshu Liang stood there, and she looked up: "What? You've managed to coax my stupid, pig-like sister?"

Gongshu Liang shook his head, his eagle eyes flashing with a chilling light: "I don't know what evil spirit she's possessed, but she's turned me away."

"I'm afraid he's angry because he found out about our relationship." She said, sitting up from the couch and beckoning him with her snow-white hand.

He sat down next to her, and she put her arm around his neck and whispered in his ear.

"Give her the water from the Heartless River to drink, and with my fox magic, I'll grant you a night of pleasure!"

"Ayu, you know, you're the only one in my heart."

“Ah Liang, we both understand that you want the position of the number one demon lord in the four seas, while I want the position of the number one demon queen. The rest is irrelevant.”

The two exchanged a knowing smile, and he accepted the Heartless River Water infused with fox magic.

Knock knock knock, a knock came from outside the study of Yuanyue Pavilion: "Second Princess, Young Master Gongshu has sent someone to bring you your favorite Snow Mushroom Soup."

She had just rejected him when he sent her soup; I doubt he'd added any special ingredients to it.

Her two maids didn't listen to a word she said.

"Bring it in."

The door opened, and she sat there watching Xiudie. Xiudie dared to look directly at her mistress, but she didn't take her seriously at all.

"I'll give you a drink." Her dark blue eyes gleamed coldly, her tone indifferent.

"That won't do, this is a gift from the young master."

"I said, I'll reward you!" She stared into Xiu Die's eyes, making her dare not refuse.

She squinted as she watched Xiudie drink the soup clean. There seemed to be nothing unusual about it, but things were definitely not that simple.

"Stay in this study and don't go anywhere else."

Zhongli Yueluo stood up and patted Xiudie's shoulder, her fingertips slightly gleaming.

With a slight manipulation of her body, Xiu Die was unable to move. Xiu Die shouted, "What is the Second Princess doing!"

Finding her noisy, he snapped his fingers and sealed her mouth shut, then the two of them changed clothes.

Xiudie lay on the desk, while Zhongli Yueluo rested her chin on her hands.

He sniffed the soup bowl, smelling the nauseating scent of fox magic. He realized that instead of asking for a marriage decree, she was trying to use such despicable means to force the issue.

She lowered her head and went out, avoiding the servants, towards Yuanyu Pavilion, where Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang had just parted ways after their passionate lovemaking on the couch.

The two were talking close together when Zhongli Yueluo crept outside the courtyard, probably because they were doing something unspeakable.

With no one watching the yard, she took advantage of the situation.

"Ayu, do you think that bitch's mother should be locked up somewhere else? The He clan of the Heartless River might know this secret too."
