I just want to live a good life

Chapter 534 What is their relationship?

The moment Su Nuan saw Xun Zheng appear, her heart sank.

The words she used just now to provoke Wei Zhe were actually an extreme way of telling Wei Zhe that he would not be able to survive if she died. She could use Wei Zhe's family to control Wei Zhe, but she could not control Xun Zheng.

This crazy woman was so determined to kill her that no matter whether Chu Qi escaped or not, she would have no chance of survival if she fell into Xun Zheng's hands today.

In a flash, Su Nuan made a bold move. The moment Xun Zheng pounced towards her, she hid in front of Wei Zhe.

Wei Zhe and Xun Zheng were both stunned by her action, especially the latter, but they only paused for a moment before they understood Su Nuan's intention.

Xun Zheng looked at Wei Zhe fiercely and said, "Kill her, and I will ensure that you and your family are safe."

Su Nuan interrupted her and said, "You can't even protect yourself, how can you protect him and his family? You are the mastermind in killing me, and Lord Wei is at most an accomplice who was coerced by you. Even if I am alive, Lord Wei will not die in front of His Highness. On the contrary, you, with your vicious heart, killed His Highness's sweetheart, and now you are trying to harm his concubine and offspring. You are simply a heinous crime."

Xun Zheng immediately focused on the word "offspring" and asked in astonishment, "What did you say? Are you pregnant?"

Su Nuan concealed the fact that she was pregnant because she was afraid that Xun Zheng would hurt the child. Now that things had come to this point, there was no need to conceal it anymore. Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, the child's life was more important than hers as a mother. Especially since Wei Zhe was close to the emperor, he knew even better what the eldest grandson meant to the emperor.

However, she was not sure what the relationship between Wei Zhe and Xun Zheng was. She didn't know whether Wei Zhe would turn against Xun Zheng because of her provocation. She couldn't care less at this moment and could only take a gamble that Wei Zhe was forced to obey Xun Zheng.

"Yes, I'm pregnant. It's a surprise, isn't it? Even if my life is worthless, this child's life is precious. If the Emperor and His Highness knew that Lord Wei saved the life of the Emperor's eldest grandson, they might not even pursue the small mistake that he made by being controlled by you."

Xun Zheng's eyes were still fixed on Wei Zhe's face, not paying any attention to Su Nuan. She sneered and said, "Master Wei, think about your son. He is your closest relative."

Su Nuan frowned. Parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters are all close relatives. Why did Xun Zheng only mention Wei Zhe’s son? What was he reminding her of?

Su Nuan has always had a good habit of asking when she can't figure something out, especially now that the situation is so critical. If she can speak more to interrupt Xun Zheng's murderous intent, she can also survive a little longer.

So Su Nuan asked Wei Zhe: "Is your son in her hands?"

Wei Zhe ignored Su Nuan and just clenched his fists tighter.

It's normal for one of these two people to look conflicted since one of them is being held in a dilemma and needs to make a choice. However, Xun Zheng's expression is very strange, and it seems a bit resentful no matter how you look at it.

The more Su Nuan looked at it, the weirder it seemed to her. The word "ambiguous" popped up in her mind unconsciously, and she even got scared.

It would be much more reasonable if these two people were having an affair. Otherwise, with Wei Zhe's background and status, even if Xun Zheng threatened him with his son, he would not risk the lives of his entire family.

But it would be different if he had that kind of relationship with Xun Zheng. Just imagine that the future Crown Princess was having an affair with the commander of the imperial guards. If this matter were to be made public, although it would not lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan, the career of the entire Wei family would be over.

It would be even more exciting if the son of Wei Zhe mentioned by Xun Zheng was born to Xun Zheng.

The moment Xun Zheng and Wei Zhe made eye contact, Su Nuan's mind was "blown away" by gossip. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

But if that was the case, the current situation would be very unfavorable to her. Since these two people had a close relationship, it was impossible for them to be provoked by just a few words from her.

Sure enough, after struggling for a while, Wei Zhe finally chose to stand with Xun Zheng. He grabbed Su Nuan's neck with one hand.

Xun Zheng was very satisfied when she saw Wei Zhe's actions and slowly walked towards Su Qingmo.

Su Nuan was strangled by the neck and dared not move. Fortunately, Wei Zhe did not kill her immediately. She was still able to breathe and speak, so she shouted to Xun Zheng without hesitation: "Wei Zhe, the Crown Prince will not marry this vicious woman. Her threats and promises to you are not worth risking your life and the future of the entire Wei family."

The hand on her neck loosened, and Su Nuan continued, "Do you know what her relationship with Prince Guang'an is? How did she threaten you with the child to work for her, and how did she make Prince Guang'an work for her wholeheartedly?"

"What's their relationship?"

Wei Zhe asked loudly.

He really cared about the relationship between the two. Su Nuan certainly didn't know the true relationship between the two, so she only replied mysteriously: "It will only be closer than with you."

Wei Zhe's hands loosened a little and just rested on Su Nuan's neck.

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Xun Zheng suddenly gave up Su Qingmo and attacked her.

Her dress rustled in the wind. Su Nuan watched the dagger in her hand stabbing at her and dodged hastily.

But the distance between the two of them was not far, and Xun Zheng was too fast, so Su Nuan had no time to avoid her.

At the critical moment, Wei Zhe suddenly made a move. He chopped Xun Zheng's wrist with his palm knife. With a dagger, Xun Zheng's dagger slipped out of his hand.

"Wei Zhe, are you crazy? If we let this woman live, both you and I will die."

"not necessarily."
