Chapter 777: Once He Starves!

An You’s angry bellow and blame didn’t just make Ning Shu want to kill him, the old madame was also completely baffled. She said in disbelief, “An You, Lingxian’s your wife, how can you talk to her like this? Furthermore, we had entered the palace together. She didn’t say anything in front of the empress dowager at all.”

“Mother, I’m your flesh and blood. How could you defend this malicious woman? If it weren’t for her, why would Princess Mingzhu have entered the palace?” An You had completely lost all rationality. He just wanted to vent the anger he felt. The pain had gotten so bad that he couldn’t see anything clearly.

He only wanted Mingzhu.

Ning Shu looked at An You’s scarlet eyes and almost deranged expression, then lowered her head in a wronged manner without saying anything.

“You guys wanted to break us up, that’s why you two went to the palace, isn’t it?” said An You angrily.

The old madame shook her head. “Lingxian and I went to the palace to have the empress dowager bestow a marriage for An You. Once there’s a good candidate, the empress dowager will give a grand marriage bestowment.”

An You was taken aback for a moment, then he pressed his lips together hard and stood up to rush outside the room. “This son doesn’t care! This son is going to the palace to find Mingzhu!”

“I won’t allow it!” said the old madame sternly.

An You was in pain, but also helpless. He dropped to his knees and knocked his head against the ground repeatedly, kowtowing to the old madame. “Mother, this son begs you! This son can’t lose Mingzhu. Without Mingzhu, there’ll be no happiness left to speak of in this life.”

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Then for the last half-lifetime, were you suffering every single day? All those days of gentle mutual support with Wei Lingxian were fake?

The fudge. When Ning Shu saw An You act like he had gone crazy due to love, she felt like her awkwardness cancer was completely flaring up.

“You- You!” The old madame was so angry she looked about to develop epilepsy. “Are you planning to abandon the general’s residence and abandon your wife and children to break into the palace? Do you think the imperial palace is a place you can break into whenever you want? Princess Mingzhu is an imperial princess. In the palace, she’ll live a glorious and splendid life. You’re a man that already has a family, can Princess Mingzhu possibly become your mistress?”

An You felt like bucket after bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He started shivering uncontrollably.

The old madame was angry, but her heart also ached. This was her son after all. “An You, forget Mingzhu, alright? She has a noble status, so her future husband will definitely also be a dragon among men. Could it be that you want to ruin her and ruin the general’s residence?”

When the thought that Mingzhu was going to become someone else’s wife occurred to An You, he started howling even more in pain like a trapped beast.

When Ning Shu saw him like this, she said, “Mother, An You’s emotional state is unstable right now. We should let him rest more.”

The old madame closed her eyes, then had the room locked. They couldn’t allow An You to go out in his current state.

More wrinkles had appeared on the old madame’s face. She sighed as she looked at Ning Shu. “Lingxian, it’s been hard on you.”

Ning Shu shook her head. “All this daughter-in-law wants now is to protect the general’s residence and the two children.”

“You’re sensible. An You has never suffered any sort of setback since youth and his campaigns have also always gone smoothly. I thought that An You would be able to safely and smoothly live out the rest of his life like this. I never imagined that he would do something like this at this age.”

“What spell did Princess Mingzhu cast on An You for him to be so enchanted by her?” The old madame was practically grinding her teeth. Her tone contained resentment.

On the surface, Ning Shu maintained a deeply worried expression, but in truth she was completely indifferent.

An You was locked up. Ning Shu brought him every meal. When An You saw Ning Shu, his expression was very cold and he swept all the food off the table right in front of her.

Ning Shu’s expression remained indifferent. She didn’t have anyone clean the mess up and just locked the door back up.

The old madame looked very worn out. When she heard that An You still wasn’t eating, she spat, “If he won’t eat, just forget it! He’ll know to eat once he starves!”

Ning Shu just smiled faintly without saying anything.
