Chapter 556: 284: Shameless Suo Lun, entangling with Liren!_2

Suo Lun nodded and said, "Correct."

The Ashi Liren was taken aback, the Suo Lun from before was such a gentleman, always gentle and refined.

But now, the way he nodded and said yes was so shameless and rogue-like.

The Ashi Liren said, "You’re forcing me to stand with Princess Zhen Yan, to stand with you, right?"

"Correct," Suo Lun nodded and said.

The Ashi Liren said, "So, you pretending to be Yan Ziyu and infiltrating the Ashi Liren Mansion was also a secret you leaked yourself, right? The purpose is to make everyone believe I have an unspeakable relationship with you, correct?"

"Correct," Suo Lun nodded and said.

"Shameless..." The Ashi Liren couldn’t hold back anymore, and slapped him across the face.

"Slap..." A crisp sound rang out.

Suo Lun’s face turned cold, then pained, numb, and finally, a burning ache.

The Ashi Liren looked at Suo Lun with disbelief once more, wasn’t this person always so gentlemanly before? How had he suddenly become such a shameless rogue?

"You are simply the epitome of shamelessness..." The Ashi Liren gritted her teeth, obviously not someone who knew how to curse.

Suo Lun rubbed the cheek that had been hit, shrugged his shoulders, and admitted his shamelessness.

The Ashi Liren was about to slap him again.

But Suo Lun had already turned his face to the side, waiting; having been slapped on the left cheek, now he offered the right.

The Ashi Liren was truly on the verge of madness, her heavy breath turning the air around her fragrant and appealing, although the temperature dropped significantly.

Had this been before, she would have slapped him dead without hesitation.

A person like Suo Lun, she would kill ten of them in a day without blinking an eye.

But now, not only was he her son’s teacher, he had completely earned Yuanba’s reverence and admiration.

Moreover, he had even become kin through his child.

The Ashi Liren could be unemotional towards others, but Qin Qin had been with her for one or two months, so adorable and endearing.

In her heart, Qin Qin was just like Anan. Especially since she and Suo Lun had previously agreed to a marriage alliance, planning to marry Qin Qin to Yuanba in the future.

Thus, she truly couldn’t bring herself to harm Suo Lun now; if she killed him, Yuanba would be so heartbroken, Anan would grieve so much, and Qin Qin would be utterly devastated. Besides, he had also saved her life twice!

Suo Lun knew this very well and was relying on it shamelessly, shamelessly, shamelessly...

The Ashi Liren said coldly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll publicly declare my loyalty to Zhi Li?"

Suo Lun shrugged his shoulders and said, "It’s useless, by assuming the position of Rouran City Lord as a woman, you already violated Zhi Li’s major taboo, crossing his bottom line. Because this is a breakthrough for the Rage Wave Kingdom, paving the way for Princess Zhen Yan to inherit the throne, right? This is a matter of principle, ten times more important than the loyalty of three or five lords."

The Ashi Liren closed her eyes.

Suo Lun said, "Liren..."

Before he could finish, the Ashi Liren coldly said, "Don’t call me by my name, our relationship hasn’t reached that point."

Suo Lun nodded, then unabashedly continued, "Liren, we have no way out..."

"Don’t speak of us, you are you, I am me..." The Ashi Liren said.

"Both you and I have no way out," Suo Lun said. "The moment you became the Rouran City Lord, you were Zhi Li’s enemy, unless you give up that position."

"I’m just holding Rouran City for a few years in place of Yuanba, not the real City Lord," The Ashi Liren said.

Suo Lun said, "The King’s decree doesn’t include the word ’acting.’ You can say you are a transitional City Lord but not an acting one."

Indeed, Suo Lun had made this very clear in the decree, intentionally.

The Ashi Liren was immediately trembling with anger, her hand involuntarily shaking, wanting to slap him again.

But she knew that hitting someone was an expression of incompetence, especially hitting someone much weaker in martial arts than yourself.

Then, with a cold laugh, she said, "Suo Lun, weren’t you quite the gentleman before? How have you become so shameless now?"

Suo Lun said, "If gentlemanly means don’t work, use those of a villain."

The Liren really wanted to say, people like you, I could kill ten a day.

But she couldn’t really kill him.

"Suo Lun, aside from making me the City Lord of Rouran, you also want me to publicly support Princess Zhen Yan, right? This point is indispensable, correct?" The Ashi Liren said.

Suo Lun nodded.

Although the Ashi Liren, as a woman holding Rouran City, was inherently breaking tradition and naturally sided with Princess Zhen Yan,

The public loyalty of Rouran City still held tremendous importance, even acting as a weathervane.

Therefore, until Rouran City publicly declared support for Zhen Yan, Suo Lun’s task was incomplete.

The Ashi Liren said coldly, "I will never support Zhen Yan. In this struggle, I am absolutely neutral. Give up on that thought."

Then, resolutely, she said, "Rouran City does not welcome you all, leave here before dawn the day after tomorrow, or bear the consequences. If I find you in Rouran City after that, don’t think I won’t kill you. I will use force to expel you!"

Having said this, The Ashi Liren turned and left.

...

Another day passed.

Rouran City was still abuzz, and with A Shi Zhuo’s instigation, the forces opposing The Ashi Liren were restless and ready to burst forth at any moment.

Moreover, the rumors about The Ashi Liren and Suo Lun became more and more outrageous.

In the rumors, The Ashi Liren and Suo Lun had already battled it out for three thousand rounds and had slept together again and again in the Rage Wave Kingdom.

Even in the rumors, The Ashi Liren was already pregnant, and people claimed confidently that she would kill Ashi Yuanba in the future, making her and Suo Lun’s own son the heir to the City Lordship of Rouran.
