Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 266: Yu Xin Gets Drunk

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The first thing Ke Nuo heard after she collected herself was that the crown prince took a fancy to one of her palace maids and he asked Ke Nuo for the agreement.

Whether she agreed or not, it seemed the maid would be snatched by the crown prince.

If Ke Nuo said she was not disappointed or afraid, she would be telling a lie. As the night fell, Ke Nuo didn’t see Yu Xin, and she felt more aggrieved.

“Where did His Highness go?” Ke Nuo couldn’t wait anymore, walking towards Yu Xin’s yard. The guards quickly saluted at sight of her.

Ke Nuo asked, “Where is His Highness?”

The guard replied respectfully, “Your Highness, His Highness is in the study.”

‘Is he reading so late at night?”

Ke Nuo’s grievance was gone in an instant, replaced with deep concern. She lifted the hem of her dress and ran to the study.

The light in the study room was dim. How could he read a book like this? Ke Nuo quickly opened the door, and the strong smell of alcohol attacked her nose.

Ke Nuo was shocked. She entered the study and saw bottles scattering and Yu Xin lying on the ground.

She went to help him up. “Hubby, what’s the matter with you?”

She could smell strong alcohol on Yu Xin, who looked depressed. Ke Nuo was worried. What had happened? Why did he become like this?

Yu Xin heard her and looked up with red painful eyes, reaching out and holding her tightly in his arms.

Yu Xin sobbed sadly, “I’m useless. I can’t protect you. Why am I still alive? I can’t even protect my wife. I hate myself so much.”

Ke Nuo felt her nose stinging. “No, it’s not your fault. Don’t be like this. I’m afraid.”

Yu Xin let go of her and cupped her face in his palms. “Nuonuo, don’t you think I’m useless? I promised your brother that I would take good care of you, but I made you suffer.”

Ke Nuo shook her head earnestly and kissed Yu Xin’s lips. “No, it’s not your fault.”

Yu Xin smiled bitterly. “Nuonuo, why? I’m also his son. My wife was bullied by his son, but he used a palace maid to satisfy him rather than do me a justice. Why?”

Ke Nuo bit her lip. She also wanted to know why.

“I can’t protect you, I can’t protect you…” Yu Xin repeated.

Ke Nuo only felt that her heart hurt badly. How could such a gentle man be treated so unfairly?

“Hubby, this is not your fault. I’m fine, I’m really fine.”

Yu Xin looked at Ke Nuo’s eyes and kissed her in a daze. Ke Nuo endured her mental discomfort and pleased him.

She wanted to seek justice for her husband.

However, Ke Nuo had no power. Other than her brother, no one could help her.

Brother!

Ke Nuo’s frown suddenly relaxed, but the next second, she frowned again.

Marrying Yu Xin meant losing her brother. Was she really going to beg her brother? She was a little scared.

Just as Ke Nuo couldn’t decide what to do, she heard the news from the court that Prince Xiaoyao would be imprisoned in his mansion because he disobeyed the laws and despised the imperial power.

This news dispelled all of Ke Nuo’s fears. She only wanted to live a peaceful life, but why didn’t they allow this?

In the study, the person kneeling in front of Yu Xin said respectfully, “Your Highness, you guessed right. Her Highness is writing a letter.”

Yu Xin curled his lips. As expected, his plan progressed smoothly. He would soon get everything he wanted.
