Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

When Yan Jinyu was imprisoned in a side hall by Emperor Qing'an, she considered many possibilities.

Perhaps if he goes out and reveals his true identity to Chu Yun, Chu Yun will forgive him and be willing to wait for him until he ascends the throne and comes to fetch her.

Perhaps Chu Yun will hate him to the core and refuse to forgive him.

Regardless of Chu Yun's attitude, there will always be Wang Jianzhi between him and Chu Yun.

Therefore, Wang Jianzhi's attitude is of paramount importance.

The best outcome would be for him and Wang Jianzhi to agree to leave Chu Yun in the Marquis's residence for the time being, while Chu Yun and Wang Jianzhi would pretend to be husband and wife to deceive Emperor Qing'an. Once he had power, he would change Chu Yun's appearance and bring her to his side.

At first, Yan Jinyu did indeed have such thoughts.

When shrouded in darkness, the human brain keeps working, using thought to resist fear.

Yan Jinyu couldn't help but wonder, Jian Zhi had treated Chu Yun differently for a long time. What if he also liked Chu Yun and refused to give her back to him?

Even though Yan Jinyu quickly forced herself not to think about it anymore and buried the thought deep in her heart.

However, Wang Jianzhi's attitude at this moment, his stiff tone, and his obvious concern for Chu Yun all made Yan Jinyu have to consider this possibility.

Yan Jinyu's mind was in a mess, but she didn't show it on her face. Meeting Wang Jianzhi's gaze, she said, "That's me."

Wang Jianzhi closed his eyes in sorrow, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on his hands bulged.

“Jianzhi, listen to me. I met Chuyun at Baima Temple and we fell in love over time. But because of revenge, I didn’t keep my promise to elope with her.”

After entering the palace, His Majesty became very suspicious of me. In order to sow discord between us and to control the Xie family, he bestowed Chu Yun upon you and imprisoned me in a side hall. That's why I couldn't tell you about my relationship with Chu Yun in time.

I absolutely did not intentionally hide it from you! Nor did I intend to embarrass you!

Yan Jinyu explained.

Wang Jianzhi: "Enough!"

He suddenly raised his voice and opened his eyes at the same time.

“Cousin, I’m not interested in your affair with A-Yun. I only want to ask you, did you come to my manor today to offer congratulations, or for something else?”

Yan Jinyu's breath hitched, and though it was difficult, she still told him everything: "I came here to tell you about my relationship with Chu Yun, and then I'll find a way to take her away."

"Take her away? Cousin, she is now my wife, your sister-in-law. How do you plan to take her away?" Wang Jianzhi questioned.

Yan Jinyu's whole body stiffened.

“Cousin, if I told you that I like A-Yun, would you still take her away?” Wang Jianzhi asked again.

Yan Jinyu couldn't answer; the answer was too hurtful.

Wang Jianzhi knew Yan Jinyu well enough that his silence was tacit agreement.

“Cousin, you want to take A-Yun away, but you haven’t asked A-Yun’s opinion yet, have you? A-Yun once told me that she would try to forget the person she once liked and try to be my wife. She won’t go with you,” Wang Jianzhi said in a deep voice.

Yan Jinyu and Wang Jianzhi locked eyes, and Yan Jinyu said in a pained voice, "Jianzhi, do you want to fight me?"

Wang Jianzhi smiled bitterly, "From the moment I was born, I knew that you were not only my cousin and my family, but also the person I would always be loyal to."

That's what I've always done, cousin. I've never thought of competing with you for anything. If you want what's mine, you're welcome to take it.

But Ah Yun is different. Ah Yun is the only thing I desire in this life. I beg my cousin to be merciful and not take Ah Yun away from me!

His earnest plea caused Yan Jinyu immense heartache.

But he couldn't bring himself to give up on Chu Yun.

The long silence chilled Wang Jianzhi's heart, and the atmosphere around him and Yan Jinyu became increasingly stagnant.

"My lord, Qingyuan requests an audience." Qingyuan's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Jianzhi suddenly stood up.

Yan Jinyu also stood up.

"Come in!"

Qingyuan stepped into the study and curtsied.

"What are you doing here? Has something happened to A-Yun?" Wang Jianzhi was extremely anxious.

Qingyuan said happily, "My lord, don't panic. Miss has woken up and is fine. Miss specially sent me to inform you."

Wang Jianzhi felt relieved after hearing this.

"It's good that he's alright. I'll go check on her."

Wang Jianzhi was unwilling to continue facing Yan Jinyu in silence, and also concerned about Chu Yun's health, so he wanted to use this as an excuse to leave.

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency. Miss asked me to pass on a message to you. She said she wants to see His Highness Prince Chen. If she cannot see him today, please keep an eye out and do your best to arrange it for her."

"Miss said again, 'It's late, so please rest early, Lord Marquis. There's no need for you to see her.'" Qingyuan said, following Chuyun's instructions.

The smile on Wang Jianzhi's face froze, and her eyes filled with shattered ice.

"You're not mistaken, she really said that?" Wang Jianzhi said coldly.

Qingyuan didn't know that the Prince Chen was Wang Yu. She just replied with whatever Chu Yun said. She never expected that Wang Jianzhi's expression would suddenly change after hearing it.

"If I remember correctly, that's what Miss said," Qingyuan said in a trembling voice.

Wang Jianzhi fell silent, his face grim.

Yan Jinyu stepped forward and said to Qingyuan, "I am Prince Chen. Please take me to see her."

Qing Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and she quickly knelt down, "Your Highness Prince Chen."

"Get up, let's go," Yan Jinyu said.

Wang Jianzhi: "Halt! It's late, Your Highness. It's not convenient for you to see my wife now!"

Yan Jinyu turned to look at him, "She's not well, why make her wait? If you're worried, you can listen outside the door. If I say or do something inappropriate, you can stop me then."

Since neither of us is willing to compromise, let's leave the decision to Chu Yun and let her make it.

Wang Jianzhi's face was stiff, and he didn't say much, but his heart was pounding.

Although he could hold his own against Yan Jinyu, Wang Jianzhi didn't have much confidence in Chu Yun. He wasn't sure if Chu Yun would still be willing to stay in the Marquis's mansion and stay by his side after learning Yan Jinyu's identity.

"Lead the way," Yan Jinyu said in a deep voice.

Yan Jinyu's aura was terrifying, and Qing Yuan dared not breathe. Under the pressure, she looked at Wang Jianzhi and listened to his instructions.

"You take him, I have something to do, so I won't go," Wang Jianzhi said in a hoarse voice.

Qingyuan stood up. "Yes."

Then, with her head bowed, she led the way for Yan Jinyu.

After they left, Wang Jianzhi's last bit of strength gave way, and he staggered. If he hadn't been holding onto the wall, he probably would have fallen.

He was genuinely afraid that Chu Yun would abandon him.

Overwhelmed by immense fear, Wang Jianzhi leaned against the wall, unable to recover for a moment.

Yan Jinyu wasn't much better than Wang Jianzhi.

He stood at the door of the new house, suddenly feeling timid, and hesitated to take a step forward.

This is what it means to feel apprehensive as you approach your hometown.

Just a door away, his beloved was within arm's reach.

But he was too ashamed to see her.

He was afraid that Chu Yun would not forgive him.

He feared that his fate with her would be severed by Chu Yun herself.
