Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter 286: Failed Request

Yun Han was shocked, furrowing his brows hesitantly, "What do you want the Yun Family’s military power for?"

Shen Qingli bit her lip, looking pitiful, "The Empire is currently in turmoil, the people are in fear, yet I hold no real power in my hands. Unlike my sister Shen Tang who has the support of the Lu Family, I... I really don’t feel secure."

"Even when the Imperial City was in chaos, I couldn’t make the slightest effort. The people and all the aristocratic families are surely disappointed in me, which is why I lost the election."

"Yun Han Brother, please give me military power. As long as I have the support of the Yun Family’s military power, I can definitely turn the situation around!"

Yun Han furrowed his sword-like brows, staring deeply at her, and a hint of absurdity appeared on his stern face.

He didn’t expect to hear such a bizarre theory from Shen Qingli’s mouth.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to think she had been a princess for too long, too comfortable and never having experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, to actually think that possessing military power could win the people’s hearts?

Or if she was simply too arrogantly self-assured, lacking a clear understanding of her own capabilities.

Clearly, in his mind, Shen Qingli should have been a beautiful, intelligent, and reasonable woman, so how could she say such incomprehensible things?

Seeing Yun Han’s hesitant expression, Shen Qingli felt even more angry and questioned angrily, "Lu Xiao was able to give military power to Shen Tang, so why can’t you give it to me? Do you not love me at all!"

She had long been dissatisfied with this, but previously, due to saving face and maintaining her persona, she hadn’t confronted Yun Han directly.

But now, Shen Qingli was utterly furious, not caring about anything else.

Her questions pinned Yun Han to the spot like nails, slicing him like a knife. He stood stiff and cold, staring incredulously at his partner, "Qingli, what on earth are you saying?"

He had never considered handing over military power to her, as this was how every Head of Yun Family had done it for generations.

All the family heads of the major families did the same.

Only by holding the military power in one’s own hands can one feel at ease; otherwise, in the event of a divorce, not only is one’s own future lost, but also the future of the entire family.

No matter how deep the affection, as a rational family head, it is impossible to gamble the future of the entire family on a woman.

The senior members of the family and all the Great Elders would never agree either.

Lu Xiao’s previous actions indeed surprised Yun Han, but that was the other’s choice and had nothing to do with him.

But he never imagined that Shen Qingli would use it to compare the two of them.

This was publicly humiliating the pride of a male, and questioning the basis of their relationship.

Suddenly, Yun Han felt a twinge of disappointment and sadness. Wasn’t his willingness to give up the family and risk his life to save her enough to prove his feelings and care for her?

How could she say such things to him?

In the midst of her fury, Shen Qingli didn’t notice the change in the man’s expression and insistently said, "You married me, everything about you should be mine. Why haven’t you handed over the military power yet? Your reluctance means you don’t trust me, you don’t love me at all!"

"The words you said at the wedding, about loving me wholeheartedly, were all lies, weren’t they?"

Yun Han’s chest heaved violently with anger, his deep black eyes fixed on the hysterical Shen Qingli, flecked with bloodshot veins.

These repeated provocations were almost fatal for someone as proud as he was, but somewhere deep inside, Yun Han’s instincts urged him not to make a fatal mistake.

Finally, Yun Han calmed down, his voice low and a bit hoarse, "...Sorry, the military power is in my father’s hands, I don’t have the authority to use it."

The same reason again!

Shen Qingli almost wanted to slap him in anger, exasperated, "Your father is almost sixty years old, and now he doesn’t even have any superpowers. He can’t suppress the people below anymore. He should have handed over the position of Family Head to you a long time ago, and the military power should be yours!"

"If you go ask him now, he would definitely give it to you..."

"Shen Qingli!"
