Chapter 729 (Trouble Reaching Your Honor)
Yue Hua's delicate face blushed slightly as she softly said, "Me too."
"In that case, let's go to a different place tomorrow," Lie Gu excitedly suggested. If before he had wanted to claim Yue Hua as soon as possible, now all he wanted was to be with her every day.
"Okay~"
Seeing the slightly shy cheeks of Yue Hua, Lie Gu made up his mind and embraced her, saying, "Yue Hua, you're really amazing."
At this moment, Yue Hua's heart was in turmoil. It was the first time she snuggled in a man's arms, and this embrace gave her a strong sense of security, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Lie Gu was also quite nervous at this moment. This felt different from hugging his wives.
Yue Hua struggled a little and then quieted down, saying, "Lie Gu, we're still outside the door."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Lie Gu quickly let go of Yue Hua and apologised hurriedly.
Seeing Lie Gu's fl.u.s.tered expression, Yue Hua chuckled like blooming flowers.
"You should go back and rest soon. I'll be waiting for you tomorrow," Yue Hua softly said, her beautiful eyes filled with warmth.
Lie Gu nodded. "Yeah, you should get some rest too."
As soon as he finished speaking, a message from Your Honor echoed in Lie Gu's mind. His brow furrowed instantly, as Your Honor's tone didn't sound good.
Seeing the sudden change in Lie Gu's expression, Yue Hua asked with concern, "What happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Your Honor summoned me for something." Lie Gu forced a smile. Your Honor's tone definitely indicated it wasn't a trivial matter, but hopefully it had nothing to do with him and Yue Hua.
"Then you should go quickly and not delay important matters," Yue Hua advised attentively.
This made Lie Gu very happy. "Okay."
Watching Lie Gu leave, Yue Hua's lips curved into a gentle smile, eagerly antic.i.p.ating their next date.
Meanwhile, in the Voidless Realm!
The palace of the Empress was brilliantly lit. Ye Hua had a stern face as he listened to Lie Gu's three wives tearfully "accusing" him. Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi sat beside him with unpleasant expressions.
From their "accusations," it was clear that Lie Gu, that scoundrel, had gone too far. He had three beautiful wives at home but still engaged in illicit relations.h.i.+ps outside.
Ye Hua's face darkened because Lie Gu had made him lose face. How could this matter have reached him? It made Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi question the calibre of the subordinates they had nurtured.
The three women had no choice but to seek justice from Your Honor. They couldn't continue living like this.
In reality, Ye Hua cursed Lie Gu inwardly!
'Engaging in illicit relations.h.i.+ps outside and then boasting about it in front of his wives at night? Was his brain lacking in common sense? Couldn't he at least keep it a secret and bring his affairs home after they were done? It would still be better than flaunting it in front of his wives!'
'What an idiot!'
At this moment, Lie Gu also arrived on the scene. He saw his three wives crying and kneeling before Your Honor, and he was utterly bewildered.
Moreover, Your Honor and Madams had terrible expressions on their faces.
"Subordinate pays respects to Your Honor!" Lie Gu also knelt and shouted.
Ye Hua didn't ask Lie Gu to rise.
Since Your Honor didn't say anything,Lie Gu didn't dare to stand up either. It seemed like something big was about to happen today.
Ye Hua looked at the kneeling family before him and lit a cigarette in annoyance. He felt that his face had been completely lost!
"Lie Gu, explain yourself. How do you suggest we handle this matter?" Ye Hua said in a deep voice.
Lie Gu raised his head, his face filled with confusion. "Your Honor, what happened?"
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi shook their heads on either side, indicating that Lie Gu seemed genuinely lost.
"What do you mean, 'what happened'?" Ye Hua's tone involuntarily became louder, scaring Lie Gu into lowering his head.
"I really don't know what's happening," Lie Gu said helplessly. What had happened to make his three wives cry like this?
"And you still have the audacity to ask what's wrong with me!"
Lie Gu's expression suddenly turned dark. "Yi Ran! Has someone bullied you? Tell me, I'll avenge you!"
Hearing her husband's words, the three women cried even more intensely.
Qing Ya shook her head and calmly said, "Lie Gu, don't you understand by now?"
"Madam," Lie Gu was truly bewildered.
Donghuang Baizhi straightforwardly revealed the truth. "Lie Gu, it's bad enough that you're involved with Yue Hua. Why do you have to upset them too?"
"Madam, I haven't done anything to upset them," Lie Gu quickly explained. He genuinely hadn't done anything to upset them. He treated them well.
The three women remained silent, choking back their sobs.
Ye Hua let out a sigh, he still understood Lie Gu to some extent. The fact that he had endured until now without abandoning them was already a miracle.
"Tell me, what exactly are your thoughts regarding them! You've been concealing and hiding things today. Explain everything clearly! Because of your actions, I haven't been able to sleep until now! It's affecting the quality of my sleep!" Ye Hua's voice became more intense.
Qing Ya: "..."
Donghuang Baizhi: "..."
Lie Gu still didn't fully understand what was happening but replied, "Your Honor, of course, I care for them."
"In that case, if you had to choose between Yue Hua and them, which side would you choose?" Ye Hua posed the central question of this commotion.
This question perplexed Lie Gu. The first thing that came to his mind was Yue Hua, followed by his three wives.
Seeing Lie Gu hesitate, the tears welled up in the eyes of the three women. They had given their all to him, but they received such a result, which was deeply hurtful.
Ye Hua calmly said, "You've been spending every day with Yue Hua this week. Have you ever considered their feelings? You go on dates and then boast about it at home. Are you lacking common sense?"
As Ye Hua spoke, Lie Gu finally understood...
So it was because of this matter.
Recalling the events of this week, Lie Gu realised that he had indeed been boastful.
"Your Honor, my actions were not meant to boast. I just didn't want to deceive them. It was my oversight, and I made you worry," Lie Gu respectfully said.
This was also the truth from Lie Gu's perspective. He had never wanted to hide anything from them. From the first date, he had told Yue Hua about having three wives, and he didn't hide it from his wives either.
Perhaps Lie Gu hadn't considered everything thoroughly, not fully grasping the emotions of women. Some things are better said between husband and wife, and they could have resolved it together.
Ye Hua let out a sigh of relief. "I also inquired on your behalf, and they don't mind you being with Yue Hua. But you also need to respect them. Don't act like before, understood?"
Ye Hua was reminding Lie Gu not to treat them as mere objects for reproduction, but to sincerely care for them.
Lie Gu naturally understood Your Honor's intentions. "Rest a.s.sured, Your Honor. I will treat them well and ensure that such a thing doesn't happen again."
"Alright, you can handle the rest yourselves when you go home. I also need to rest!" After speaking, Ye Hua stood up and left, followed by Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi.
