Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 63: Then, give up the throne.

Junjie could not even fumble an excuse because he had sent someone, not to protect Mei Mei but to stop her from avenging herself. He knew the Jun’s and Chi’s would protect Mei Mei but who would protect the internationally famous space pilot and his national baby from them?

Back then, most of his advisors had also agreed that in the interest of national affairs, it was best to protect the national space baby Mo Hao who had been guilty of shoving her.

In their words, at the end of the day he was a child and he could not be arrested for what he had done.

"You want to know if he was poisoning me..." Mei Mei leaned forward, a cloud of anger washing over her eyes. "Yes."

Junjie winced.

Mei Mei was less concerned about the guilt Junjie was feeling and she added, "Do you want to know what he said to me he would do to my Mingzhu if I did not play ball?"

Junjie shook his head.

"He would sell her to someone from the mountains as a child bride." She growled out. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"What the fuck!" Junjie exclaimed. "Is he crazy?"

Mei Mei’s eyes sparked with a fire that could not be extinguished with any apologies from anyone when it concerned this matter particularly. No excuse that was made for Mo Liang would ever satisfy her soul. H e was evil, the worst humanity had to offer.

"Do you know how old Mingzhu is? She is only six years old Junjie, she is just a baby." Mei Mei slapped the table angrily to express her outrage.

The table which had no idea what was going on increased its glow and even brought up a food and drink menu.

"What lunatic sells a six year old as a child bride in this day and age? His own daughter at that!" Mei Mei groaned and punched the table. "Divorce is not enough to satisfy me I must make him hurt and bleed. I don’t care how much you want to protect him in the interest of national affairs, I am going to drag him from his high horse and bury him a cesspool of filth."

"We don’t have cesspools anymore." Junjie muttered.

Mei Mei glared at him, her eyes nearly sliced his body in half so he shut up. This was not the best moment to clarify unimportant facts.

"I am sorry, I had no idea that he had threatened your daughter." Junjie figured that it was better to own up to his faults in this issue. "I knew his character was flawed before your marriage and when he had that affair I just lumped it into the same category of reasons why your marriage to him was the worst choice you ever made. But....." He raised his eyes which were loaded with regret and desiring of understanding to meet hers, "I am the emperor Mei Mei."

"I am aware." she bit out a response.

He reached his hands out to hold hers but she took her hands back, removing them from the table completely. Junjie clenched his jaw and sighed. "You know the burden I carry with the weight of the crown on my head. I must always put national interests first, even before my own private needs and desires. I am not making excuses Mei Mei but I have sacrificed as well, so many things...." he closed his eyes, breaking off for a moment.

Old Mei Mei would have been ready to comfort him but the new one, she was too angry with him at the moment to do that. "If the weight of the crown is too heavy, then pass it on to one of your brothers. We are not living in the old era where being an emperor was a life and death match between siblings. You will not die just because you are not the emperor.

All the other princes I met, they were living happy lives--are still living those happy lives despite not being the one in charge. You can even pass it on to one of your sisters and this empire can finally have an empress."

"I..I can’t." He stammered.

"Why?" she raised her voice. "Because you are afraid that you would be seen as a failure? Because you think that you will be seen as weak? That is nonsense, the royal family is large, there are too many candidates for emperor or empress, most were better choices than you at the time."

Junjie seemed hurt to hear her words but Mei Mei remained steadfast in her opinion.

"I won’t apologize for my honesty." She assured him with her own touch of arrogance. "You never wanted to be emperor anyway, you accepted it because it was thrust onto you by your father forcefully. He run away from his responsibility and left it to you before you were prepared.

You were an easy going person. Your dream was to be a singer or a DJ and you knew right from wrong. You beat up a man in public for slapping his wife when were shopping, I don’t even know if your remember this. The old you would not have sided with Mo Liang, not even for publicity. If being emperor is clouding your judgement then maybe you should give it up. Travel the world, do some soul searching and find the old Junjie. The one I used to call brother. The one that had my back."

Junjie scoffed, a whisper of a laugh fell from his lips. "Having your back!" He lifted his eyes to the starry ceiling and laughed louder. "You want me to have your back. Have you had mine all these years? Maybe I should remind you that you left Mei Mei and you cut off contact with me because you did not like what I had to say about your husband so save the righteousness for strangers, not me."

Junjie wanted to throw something, or maybe a flip the table over. The more they talked, the angrier he seemed to become because she was just as at fault as he was. She had chosen Mo Liang and now the royal family was in the middle of a war with the Chi’s and Jun’s thanks to her bad choice. If she had listened to him and not married Mo Liang in the first place, would all this be happening?

"I reached out to you, you bastard. It was you that never responded to me and as for cutting you off first, it was because I was protecting you. If you think Mo Liang is a leech now, try eight years ago when he had nothing to his name. He would have used my relationship with you in every way possible. He would probably be a noble by now. I was protecting you asshole." she shouted at him.

She stood up, huffing like a thirty year old gamer who just lost to a ten year old online. "You know what, I don’t want to talk to you anymore because we are not getting anywhere and I am seriously contemplating breaking your nose."

"We are not done, sit down Mei Mei. We must work out our problems today." Junjie insisted. He used his authoritative emperor voice that would have ordinary people instantly obeying.
