Abandoned Wife? Her Starlight Shall Blind You!-Chapter 235 - 178: So It Was an Old Acquaintance?

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the scene instantly became more subtle.

Everyone’s gaze wandered back and forth between Jun Moling, Princess Aya, and Shen Ruoxi.

Each person’s eyes were filled with curiosity and speculation, secretly pondering how this famous Prince would handle the tricky situation before him.

Jun Moling’s handsome face almost turned into a smile of anger, at this moment, he looked sullen, like the sky before a storm, oppressive and chilling.

"Princess Aya, I have given you enough face, do not ask for trouble!"

No matter how beautiful you are, what does it have to do with me? In my eyes, no woman in this world can compare to even a fingernail of my wife."

The atmosphere inside the hall was oppressive to the extreme, Jun Moling already possessed a powerful aura, making everyone feel as if they didn’t dare to breathe.

The Emperor noticed this, gently coughed, seemingly hinting for Jun Moling to mind his attitude.

Though the other party is a princess from a defeated country, as a major power, we must not appear too aggressive.

Jun Moling wished he could immediately throw this princess into some unnoticed corner, but only saw her look aggrieved, suddenly reaching to take off her veil. "Prince, look at me carefully."

Everyone guessed in their hearts that since this princess came for a political marriage, her appearance must be remarkable; having always worn a veil, she would certainly be stunning.

Sure enough, this princess was indeed very beautiful, her large eyes shone like stars, her cherry-colored lips were lush and tender, her eyes like autumn water, charmingly captivating.

At this moment, she looked aggrieved, tears in her eyes, her pitiful and enchanting appearance would evoke sympathy from anyone.

However, everyone still secretly compared her with Shen Ruoxi and had to admit that compared to Shen Ruoxi, a truly stunning beauty, Princess Aya paled slightly in comparison.

It’s unclear who gave this Princess Aya such courage, to dare to be so confident before Jun Moling that by unveiling, he would change his mind.

Jun Moling directly let out a cold laugh, his tone full of disdain, "I’ve seen it. Do you think you can surpass the beauty of my wife?"

Chunyu Ya’s humiliation flashed in her eyes. She indeed did not possess the unrivaled beauty of Shen Ruoxi, but...

Tears welled up in her eyes, almost overflowing, she spoke with a trace of unwillingness, "Prince, don’t you truly recognize Aya?"

Shen Ruoxi slightly furrowed her brows, thinking to herself: An old acquaintance? This situation is indeed filled with drama.

Seeing his wife casting a teasing glance, Jun Moling panicked and hastily said, "Wife, I truly do not recognize her. Do I have to know every cat and dog in the world?"

Chunyu Ya, upon hearing these words, felt increasingly ashamed and couldn’t believe it, "Does Prince Zhan truly not recognize Aya?"

"Should I recognize you? I fought bloody battles on the battlefield for over five years and have never met the princess. It’s better not to mistake someone else, to avoid causing a misunderstanding for my wife." Jun Moling’s voice was cold as frost, devoid of any warmth.

Chunyu Ya’s expression visibly froze, her gaze tightly fixed on Jun Moling’s extraordinarily handsome face, capable of causing hearts to flutter.

Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Over two years ago, in Qiushui Town, I was drugged and captured, almost sold off.

It was you, Prince, who passed by and rescued me. From then on, Aya wanted to repay the favor and thus offered herself."

Jun Moling, hearing this, was momentarily stunned, as if such a memory emerged in his mind.

That was the year he learned Shen Ruoxi was marrying Xiao Chengyi. He disguised himself and returned to the Capital City alone, just to take a glimpse of her appearance and also to escort her out.

On his way back to the Capital City, passing through Qiushui Town, he encountered a girl trafficking incident. At that time, he was furious, beat those traffickers harshly, and gave her money to return home.

But all his heart and mind was occupied by Shen Ruoxi, and he never really looked at other women, naturally not remembering the appearance of the girl at that time.

Although Jun Moling was shocked in his heart, his face remained without a ripple.

That time he had carefully disguised himself, even acquaintances could hardly recognize him, he couldn’t fathom how Chunyu Ya knew it was him?

This matter he would absolutely not admit. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Princess Aya must have gone mad? I was at war with your Beichang Country at that time, how could I appear in Qiushui Town? You must have mistaken someone else." Jun Moling said coldly.

"What about this?" Chunyu Ya suddenly took out a Jade Pendant from her body, "It bears your name, Prince."

Jun Moling looked closely at the Jade Pendant, reached out to take it, indeed it had his name engraved on it.

This Jade Pendant was given to him by his grandmother when he was a month old, carrying significant meaning.

After saving Chunyu Ya, this Jade Pendant went missing, causing him considerable distress.

But in order to see Shen Ruoxi as soon as possible, he didn’t bother searching, yet never expected to meet again now.

Regarding this lost-and-found Jade Pendant, Jun Moling was indeed quite pleased.

He suddenly placed the Jade Pendant into his own pocket.

Chunyu Ya was stunned, feeling a void in her chest, wanting to snatch it back, but ultimately bit her lip and clenched her fingers tightly.

Jun Moling’s expression was indifferent as he slowly spoke, "The item is indeed mine, but it was lost three years ago during a war, my teacher can testify for me.

I’ll say it once more, I’ve never been to any Qiushui Town, and I must thank Princess Aya for returning the Jade Pendant intact."

Zhai Wen hastily echoed, "I can testify, Prince’s Jade Pendant was indeed lost three years ago on the battlefield, possibly picked up by the one who saved you, left behind there."

Chunyu Ya’s expression changed slightly, could it really not be him?

At that time, his face was covered in a wild beard, only those gentle eyes gave her money, allowing her to return home.

Looking at her, his eyes were full of deep emotion, which led her to firmly believe he had feelings for her.

However, this was merely an illusion she clung to as her last straw in despair.

Jun Moling had never even clearly seen her visage, just simply sympathized with her plight, deliberately lowering his voice for fear of frightening her.

But never expected, it surprisingly led her to imagine a shocking, world-shaking romance.

When the truth lay before her, she was utterly incredulous, feeling weightless as if stepping on clouds.

Was it really not him?

From beginning to end, she always felt they looked vastly different, because she thought he might have disguised himself.

Yet never anticipated, there turned out to be two different people.

No wonder when he saw her, he was completely unmoved, a look of a stranger, something that couldn’t be feigned.

Shen Ruoxi knew this person might truly be her husband, because her husband once told her he secretly returned the year he married Xiao Chengyi.

On the way, he indeed had to pass Qiushui Town, possibly coincidentally encountering this matter and casually saving her.

Yet she always couldn’t fathom why Princess Chunyu Ya from Beichang Country would come to their country?

"Princess, why have you come to our country?" Shen Ruoxi softly asked.

Chunyu Ya at this moment lost her former arrogance, biting her lip and said softly, "Came out to play."

In reality, she was escaping a marriage.

At that time, her father planned to marry her off to Duanmu Ting, that man, aside from a prominent family background, was utterly depraved with no redeeming qualities.

Just because the Duanmu Family wielded immense power in Beichang, her father wanted to ally with the Duanmu Family by marrying her to Duanmu Ting.

How could she willingly leap into such a pit of fire, thus she disregarded everything and escaped the marriage.

She wholeheartedly sought to find Chunyu Che at the border city, yet was unfortunately captured by someone, after several twists and turns, ended up in Qiuyu Town.

It was here that she encountered kind-hearted people who rescued her.

But this disgraceful escape experience, how could she bear to fully disclose?

Seeing her unwilling to reveal the true reason, Shen Ruoxi no longer pressed her, merely said, "Princess, since it’s just a misunderstanding, let’s drop the matter.

As Emperor Dayi said, our country has many talented young men, Princess may find another ideal husband."

Chunyu Ya seemed still unwilling to give up, she stared tightly into Jun Moling’s eyes, always felt they were somewhat similar to the person in her memory, "Was that person really not you, Prince?"

Jun Moling slightly lifted his gaze, his expression stern, "Princess Aya, it’s only been two short years, you carefully look, am I that person?"

The difference between the two was indeed too obvious, if not for that Jade Pendant, she would never suspect Jun Moling.

After a long while, she shook her head, resignedly said, "No."

Just as the situation seemed about to fall into an irreparable predicament, Chunyu Che suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Emperor Dayi, could you give us a chance?"
