Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Ye Xuan Mistaken as a Lover?

“…”

Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone around him, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. He had scripted this scene himself, so he knew exactly what was going on.

While southern border won were open-minded, they weren’t this extre. The people of Nanzhao, however, were different from the usual southern border people.

The people of Nanzhao had always practiced endogamy, aning they married within their own tribe. Any intermarriage with outsiders was strictly punished.

However, the population of Nanzhao was very small; calling it a country was generous compared to the central plains, it was more like a small tribe. Endogamy was strictly enforced, but human emotions are uncontrollable.

What if no one within the tribe caught your attention? You couldn’t remain unmarried forever, right?

Furthermore, Nanzhao also had the tradition of arranged marriages, where those with purer bloodlines had to marry within the tribe. In terms of marriage, the people of Nanzhao had no freedom.

This strict tradition had once led to a great disaster when the High Priest of Nanzhao fell in love with an outsider and married them, resulting in severe punishnt and countless deaths among the Nanzhao people.

Despite such consequences, the tradition persisted. The tradition of arranged marriages was passed down unaltered, and no one, not even the royal family, could defy it. But what if the two people arranged to marry had no feelings for each other?

To resolve this, the people of Nanzhao eventually decided to separate marriage from romantic relationships. Marriage was mandatory, and children had to be born, but what each spouse did romantically outside the marriage was their own business.

Thus, after the disaster involving the High Priest, Nanzhao completely separated marriage from love. They would marry as per the arrangent, have children as required, but could have lovers outside the marriage without interference from their spouses.

This peculiar custom was unique even among the southern border tribes. Ye Xuan hadn’t made this up; it was an actual custom in Nanzhao.

In this way, the people of Nanzhao no longer resisted arranged marriages. At least under these circumstances, they could be with the ones they truly loved.

Having children was just a duty to their arranged spouse; love was their true pursuit. It would be interesting to see how everyone reacted once they understood this custom.

—————

“You…” Hearing Wu Simai say she liked him, Ye Xuan in the scene was greatly shocked. He hadn’t expected that Wu Simai already had a husband, who was a child and the prince of Nanzhao.

After his initial shock, he asked, “Aren’t you betraying your husband by doing this? Does he treat you badly? Are you planning to divorce him?”

“He treats very well.” Wu Simai pondered and said, “Divorce? Why would I divorce him?”

She looked at Ye Xuan in confusion.

“Why divorce? You… you’ve been with … Don’t you want to be with ?!!” Ye Xuan looked at Wu Simai, puzzled, and asked.

“Of course I want to be with you.” Wu Simai said, “I want to be with you forever–!!!”

“Uh…” Ye Xuan was utterly bewildered. He rubbed his forehead and asked Wu Simai, “Then why don’t you divorce him?”

“Why would I divorce him?” Wu Simai asked again.

“…”

At this mont, Ye Xuan was completely stunned. He asked, “Are you saying… you want to be your lover while you remain the prince’s consort?”

“Is that not okay?” Wu Simai asked, puzzled.

At this mont, Ye Xuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Do you even know what you’re saying?” He asked Wu Simai in shock.

Wu Simai looked at Ye Xuan in confusion and asked, “What are you so surprised about? Isn’t this normal?”

“Damn–!” At this mont, Ye Xuan in the scene couldn’t help but curse. This… is normal? Had he misunderstood the world?

————

“Uh…”

At this mont, all the cultivators outside the scene couldn’t help but twitch. Normal? How was this normal? Wu Simai, who seed like an innocent and straightforward southern border girl, turned out to be so licentious?

Wanting to be both the prince’s consort and maintain a relationship with Ye Xuan? Initially, it seed like Ye Xuan was taking advantage, but it turned out he was the one being played.

He was completely duped by a woman.

Everyone now sympathized with Ye Xuan. They could tell that Ye Xuan had genuine feelings. It’s not scary if soone doesn’t love you; it’s terrifying if they deceive you.

Wu Simai wanted Ye Xuan to be her lover? This lifeti, Ye Xuan’s heart was broken by love again.

————

Looking at the confused girl before him, Ye Xuan’s expression beca increasingly odd.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back and asked, “Pardon … you have a husband, and you don’t want to divorce him. You want to be the prince’s consort and have as your lover… How is this normal?”

“What’s not normal? What are you so upset about?” Wu Simai asked Ye Xuan, puzzled, “Are you afraid I won’t love you after becoming the prince’s consort? Don’t worry, we Nanzhao people only love one person for life.”

“Even if I return to the Nanzhao palace, I’ll bring you with . I want to introduce you to my husband. Though he’s still a child, he’s the prince of Nanzhao, and he’ll respect you.”

“We Nanzhao people always respect warriors. If he knows you’re my lover, he’ll even give you an official position.”

“??!!!” At this mont, Ye Xuan wore a look of utter disbelief.

————

Outside the scene, the entire cultivation world shared the sa bewildered expression as Ye Xuan.

Damn?!! What was happening?!! What was Wu Simai talking about?!!

She wanted to take Ye Xuan to Nanzhao, introduce him to her husband, and have her husband, the prince, respect him and give him an official position because he was her lover?

Who am I, where am I? What am I watching?!!

At this mont, the cultivators were utterly confused.
