Chapter 298 “Intent on Reusing the Dong House (3)”
Raising his head in shock at the king, Dong Ruo Qin (cowardly man) could hardly believe what his ears were telling him.
Perhaps it’s as his wife says, the king didn’t think he was worthy of his sister, that’s why the Dong family has been getting the cold shoulder for so many years.
“Thank… thank you.” Stammering in his reply, Dong Ruo Qin was so excited that his face had become flushed with nervousness.
Why did he indulge his wife for more than twenty years? One was that his wife paid a huge price in order to marry him. He remembers it clearly of how Fu Bai Yun explained to him how much the king adored her, his favorited sister, and that it all ended as a result of her forceful marriage into the Dong House.“Is there anything else you need?” The king’s question was directed at the cowardly man, not at his sister.
As for Fu Bao Yun… this abhorrent woman was long forgotten and ignored to one side.

“No, nothing…” The cowardly man fell into a stammering fit due to his own nervousness.
“Since everything is fine then let me send you out.” Already up from his dragon chair, Fu Tian Qi was full of smile in his face, which was something not often seen.
“Send… send me?” Falling into a daze, Dong Ruo Qin (cowardly man) just couldn’t process this. The surprise had come too suddenly.
“What are you still dazing around for?” Though Fu Bao Yun still had the disdainful look on her face, it’s undeniable her heart was rather happy over the situation.……
As the king Fu Tian Qi naturally cannot send them out too far, otherwise it will be unbefitting of his image. Therefore, once they are out of the royal study, the man immediately turns back and left the pair alone.
Meanwhile in the background, the cowardly man remains a blank slate, unable to emerge from the strong level of surprise he got today. As for his wife Fu Bao Yun, even this abhorrent woman had forgotten her objective in today’s visit…..
“See, I told you my brother treats me the best,” she shoots a gloating look to her dumbfounded husband, “only those stupid people that’s envious of me would say I’m not liked. And then there’s you. If not for your parents not handing the title over to you, would my brother disfavor the Dong House for so long?”
“Bao Yun, it’s been hard on you over these years.” Coming back to his senses, Dong Rou Qin (cowardly man) appears distress over this. To him, he’s the baggage and the one that made his wife lose the royalty status.
“It was a degrading fact to begin with that I married into your Dong House, yet your parents still wishes to defend that sister of yours!” Grinding her teeth, the woman sends a slap across her husband’s face, “I’m telling you now, it’s your Dong family’s honor that I am a part of your House, not that Dong Roulan, understand? She should be grateful that I didn’t expel her from the family!”
Wiping the trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, Dong Ruo Qin (cowardly man) didn’t rebuke his wife this time despite the insult. To him, he’s at fault and needs to repent for even doubting her.
“Young Master, Young Madam, things are not good!” Just as Fu Bao Yun (shameless woman) was ready to insult his husband some more, a maid from their home suddenly interrupts their conversation by exclaiming aloud: “Young Madam, your son is in trouble!”
