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

"Have you forgotten? We used to practice swordsmanship under the peach blossom tree, dine together, and study together. These memories are still vivid in my mind. Can you really bear to let go of them?" Yan Jinyu recounted his past with Chu Yun, hoping she would change her mind.

Chu Yun's eyes flickered slightly, but she still said, "I forgot."

"If you had really forgotten, you wouldn't have taken that sword for me!"

"Yunyun, you can't fool me. You must still have genuine feelings for me. I know you're in a difficult position, but I will definitely think of a foolproof solution. Please give me some time, and don't abandon me," Yan Jinyu pleaded.

Chu Yun looked away, closed her eyes, and let the tears flow. "You're overthinking it. I really don't like you anymore."

Seeing her like this, Yan Jinyu didn't believe her at all. He hurriedly stood up, went to Chu Yun's side, bent down, and, ignoring Chu Yun's struggles, took her hand, wanting to say something more.

Suddenly a voice rang in my ears.

"Yan Jinyu, stop pressuring her. She has made it very clear that she doesn't want to have any more entanglement with you."

Didn't you say you'd leave everything to Ah Yun to decide? She's already made her stance clear; if you care about her, you should respect that!

It turned out that Wang Jianzhi had rushed in.

He stayed in the study, pacing anxiously, but finally couldn't resist and came to the bridal chamber.

I overheard most of Yan Jinyu and Chu Yun's conversation at the door.

Knowing that Chu Yun had no intention of leaving with Yan Jinyu, Wang Jianzhi finally felt relieved and felt a sense of gratitude towards Chu Yun.

Hearing that Yan Jinyu still wanted to sway Chu Yun and take her away, Wang Jianzhi could no longer hold back and burst through the door.

Upon seeing Wang Jianzhi, Chu Yun panicked and forcefully broke free from Yan Jinyu's grasp.

"Jianzhi, listen to me," Chu Yun tried to explain.

“Ah Yun, I believe you! So you don’t need to say anything more,” Wang Jianzhi said softly, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Facing Yan Jinyu, he changed his demeanor again, his eyes turning cold and his tone harsh, "You should leave!"

Wang Jianzhi was truly enraged.

Yan Jinyu knew that he liked Chu Yun, but he never thought of him at all. He insisted on taking Chu Yun away, which shook Chu Yun's heart. How could he not resent and be angry?

The scene was already quite ugly.

His cousin and his sweetheart both blamed him; the relationship between the three of them was a tangled mess, too deeply intertwined to be untangled.

Yan Jinyu stood up dejectedly, her lips pressed tightly together, her gaze shifting between Chu Yun and Wang Jianzhi.

Even though he was unwilling, he could only leave in a sorry state.

Upon returning to the palace, he locked himself in a side hall, looking as if he had lost his soul.

Eunuch Gao hurriedly went to report back to Emperor Qing'an.

News has spread that Prince An caused a scene at the Marquis of Zhongyong's wedding banquet today, and that Prince Chen has also rushed to the banquet.

The Xie family, the Lin family, the Wang family, a marquis, and two princes—all got involved.

A wedding that involves so many important people—the news spreads incredibly fast!

"Don't worry about him, let him figure it out himself," Emperor Qing'an said calmly, as if he had expected it.

“That little spring…” Eunuch Gao hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Be beaten to death, and send the body to Prince An's residence. Tell Prince An to behave himself, stay in Liangzhou, and stop worrying about things in the capital." A cold glint flashed in Emperor Qing'an's eyes.

Eunuch Gao bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Xiao Quanzi's body was sent to Prince An's residence overnight. After hearing Emperor Qing'an's decree, Yan Huaiji stood alone in the wind-swept courtyard, as silent as a vengeful ghost.

He suddenly threw his head back and laughed, until tears streamed down his face.

"How ridiculous, how ridiculous, Yan Jinyu, it seems you are nothing more than a pawn in his hands."

Yan Huaiji has figured everything out.

The information released by Xiaoquanzi was intentionally orchestrated by Emperor Qing'an.

Emperor Qing'an was certain that he was unwilling to watch Chu Yun marry someone else, and unwilling to let Yan Jinyu steal his favor.

He was certain that in order to turn the tide, he would expose Yan Jinyu's identity and sow discord between Wang Jianzhi and Yan Jinyu.

Therefore, Emperor Qing'an kept Xiao Quanzi around and deliberately leaked the news to him.

Moreover, this information must not be certain; it must be ambiguous, guiding him to guess Yan Jinyu's identity. Only in this way will he believe it without a doubt.

After all the scheming and plotting, it turns out we were all just caught in someone else's trap.

The heart of an emperor who sits firmly on the dragon throne is truly unfathomable.

Inside the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, after Yan Jinyu left, Chu Yun suddenly stood up, came to Wang Jianzhi, and was about to kneel down.

"What are you doing?" Wang Jianzhi exclaimed, grabbing Chu Yun's arm to stop her from kneeling.

Chu Yun frowned, her face full of guilt, "It's all my fault that you suffered such humiliation."

A newlywed wife having an affair with her cousin—anyone in the world would find that distasteful.

Wang Jianzhi, such a refined gentleman, was entangled with these disgraceful things because of her, and Chu Yun felt guilty.

Wang Jianzhi felt heartbroken seeing Chu Yun so remorseful.

“I told you before, you did nothing wrong. You don’t need to be so hard on yourself. I’ve never blamed you. In this matter, you are the victim.”

Chu Yun was a weak woman. If it weren't for Yan Jinyu's deception and Yan Huaiji's bullying, she wouldn't have ended up like this. It's pitiful that she keeps blaming herself. Wang Jianzhi couldn't bear it.

She was of noble character and never thought of hiding anything from him. She even scolded Yan Jinyu to save face for him. Wang Jianzhi respected and pitied her at the same time, so how could he bear to blame her?

"Jianzhi, thank you so much. Thank you for always being so understanding of me," Chu Yun said gratefully, tears streaming down her face.

Wang Jianzhi raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Chu Yun's face with his fingertips.

"Don't say things like that again. You are my wife. If I don't trust you and protect you, who else can I trust?"

Chu Yun's tears flowed even more freely.

So much had happened today, leaving her flustered and disoriented. She had just severed ties with her past relationship, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't heartbroken. At this moment, Wang Jianzhi's gentle comforting words released all the pent-up grievances in her heart, like a flood bursting its banks.

"Don't cry. You were just sick. Today's events are over. Don't think about them anymore. Get some rest," Wang Jianzhi said.

Chu Yun nodded, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Okay."

Wang Jianzhi took Qi Yun's hand and pulled her to the bedside. "You should rest early. Leave the rest to me. I will handle it."

Tonight I'll be sleeping on the soft couch opposite you. Just call me if you need anything.

Chu Yun's eyes welled with tears, and she nodded in agreement.

Wang Jianzhi gently patted Chu Yun's hand, "Go to sleep."

After saying that, he let go of Chu Yun's hand and turned around.

“Jianzhi, the reason I sent Qingying today to tell you that I refuse to see you is because I am ashamed to face you, and it has nothing to do with you,” Chu Yun suddenly spoke from behind.

Wang Jianzhi turned around and said, "I know."

He smiled brightly, his handsome features shining through the lamplight.

Chu Yun lowered her eyes awkwardly.

Wang Jianzhi's joy lasted until late at night.

Chu Yun's words and actions gave him great comfort. As long as Chu Yun stood by his side, he felt at ease.

As night deepened and darkness fell, Wang Jianzhi listened to Chu Yun's soft breathing and slowly drifted off to sleep.
