Chapter 1346: Extra Story Two: Protecting Husband_2
Upon hearing this address, Chu Heng knew immediately that his cousin had touched a sore spot, and, furious with embarrassment, wanted to chase him away. He could hardly restrain himself from bursting into laughter three times to express his current jovial mood.
It was then when Yan Junyu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly remarked, "Look at that downcast appearance of yours. Could it be that you were chased out by Mao Tuan? Mao Tuan has been raised by your Lady from its cub days, not only are their affections deep, but it also clings to her. At this time, especially, if it has come looking for her, would it even tolerate your presence?"
At these words, the civil and military Ministers exchanged glances, turning their eyes curiously towards Xiao Ruiyuan, whose complexion was so dark it seemed ink would drip from it. Could it be like Young Master Yan said, this Great General Xiao was chased out of the bridal chamber by his wife’s beloved pet on his wedding night?
Contemplating this possibility, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Xiao Ruiyuan. At the age of twenty and some, he was finally getting married to end his monkish lifestyle, but it looked like a ferocious tiger had emerged, threatening to ruin his wedding night. Was that at all fair?
Chu Heng feigned surprise and, rather unkindly, added fuel to the fire, "Hanzhang, how could you keep such a big matter from your cousin? Your cousin may not be able to help in other ways, but dealing with a tiger is hardly a difficult feat!"
With just these words, it was as if it had been confirmed that Xiao Ruiyuan was indeed chased out of his bridal chamber by the tiger.
"Your Highness, please stop while you can!" Xiao Ruiyuan clenched his fists, the veins on his temples throbbing.
Having his wedding night disturbed by a tiger had already put Xiao Ruiyuan in a bad mood, and now he found himself being taunted in tandem by his close cousin and friend. He could barely control his emotions.
If he wasn’t considering the status and face of these two men, he would have gladly thrown these two shameless fellows out of the mansion personally.
Realizing that his cousin was genuinely infuriated, Chu Heng felt a perverse sense of satisfaction.
