“After spending time with Master, I can see very clearly,” Princess Xiangyang said.

“Master is a person who values relationship and kinship. The kind who is passionate and devoted.”

As she spoke, Princess Xiangyang looked at Empress Jia.

“Empress Mother should be able to see this in her.”

Empress Jia glanced at her daughter and nodded.

Marquis Xiaoyao was indeed a forthright person who wore her heart on her sleeve.

When she saw her mother’s reaction, Princess Xiangyang’s expression relaxed a little.

She continued, “Although I have never met Master’s husband, 1 have heard a lot of things about Master and her husband.”

As she spoke, Princess Xiangyang glanced at Empress Jia again.

Empress Jia’s eyes flickered slightly.

“Alright. Then tell me.” A moment later, driven by curiosity, she finally relented.

Princess Xiangyang was delighted.

She hurriedly said, “Master and that Mr. Song, pfft…” She had just started talking when she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

It attracted the attention of Empress Jia.

Princess Xiangyang quickly suppressed her mirth.

After a while, when she had completely suppressed her laughter, she continued, “Actually, it was Master who took a fancy to her husband first.

“At that point, Master’s figure was not what she is now. She was… pfft! A 250-pound obese woman!”

Empress Jia was shocked.

“Two… 250 pounds?” Marquis Xiaoyao’s current body weight was at most a hundred pounds.

250 pounds? Wasn’t that more than double her current weight now?

“Mm-hmm!” Princess Xiangyang replied.

Then, under Empress Jia’s incredulous gaze, she continued, “As for that Mr. Song, he is a famous local scholar. Not only was he talented, but he was also good-looking.”

Empress Jia instantly became even more curious.

She signaled with her eyes to Princess Xiangyang to continue.

Princess Xiangyang smiled and continued, “Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Mr. Song to fall in love with Master.

“So, Master devised a trick.” ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ

Following that, Princess Xiangyang told her mother about how Qin Xiaoyao curried favor with Madam Liu, colluded with the traveling doctor to plot against the Song family and then brought her maiden family to force the Song family to agree to her marriage.

Empress Jia was extremely surprised.

At the same time, she could not help but laugh.

Such a bold undertaking was indeed Marquis Xiaoyao’s style.

When Princess Xiangyang saw that Empress Jia had a smile on her face, she felt somewhat relieved.

“It was only after she married Mr. Song that Master started to lose weight.

“Furthermore, she slimmed down quickly and became what she is this today.”

Empress Jia was astonished and looked at Princess Xiangyang.

She lost more than half of her weight? How… much willpower was needed for her to achieve this?

Empress Jia gained weight for a while previously and she wanted to lose weight too.

However, she gave up after three days.

Princess Xiangyang looked at Empress Jia. “There’s one more thing.

“Back then, Mr. Song injured his leg, and Master pushed him into town to have his injury treated. Along the way, they dropped by a bookshop.

“In the bookshop, one of Mr. Song’s former classmates mocked Mr. Song. That guy said that Mr. Song married a shrew and his leg was crippled, so now he was a good-for-nothing.”

Empress Jia frowned.

Princess Xiangyang smiled and continued, “Then Master overheard that guy.

“Guess what Master did at that time?” she asked Empress Jia.

“What did she do?” Empress Jia asked straightaway.

Princess Xiangyang smiled.

“Master rushed in and broke the hand of one of the guys.

“Then, she threatened the others.

“She warned that if she heard anyone criticizing her husband or spreading the news of what happened that day, she would kill that fellow responsible.”

Empress Jia got a shock.

She couldn’t resist glancing outside.

That was true. Marquis Xiaoyao was known as the “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre.” She had killed so many people on the battlefield that the Liao army became terrified whenever they heard her name.

If anyone became her target, he would not be able to escape his luckless fate no matter how many guards he had around him.

At the thought of this, a sense of danger crept up Empress Jia spine.

“Since ancient times, when one takes a life, he pays with his life. She is too arrogant,” Empress Jia said.

Princess Xiangyang looked at Empress Jia and smiled.

“That’s only if the perpetrator is caught or someone got hold of the evidence.

“With my master’s skills, if she intended to kill someone, would she let anyone gather this kind of evidence against her?”

“Empress Mother, don’t forget that there were no less than 10,000 troops in the Liao army camp that day. Yet my master successfully infiltrated the Liao camp and beheaded their commander, Xiao Yuan, just like that. After that, she even broke out of the encirclement and killed her way back to our camp.”

Empress Jia nodded.

Marquis Xiaoyao’s valor was indeed rare.

When she saw her mother’s expression, Princess Xiangyang smiled again.

“Other than these, Empress Mother, do you know that the reason Master joined the army and rose all the way to where she is today is because of her husband?”

Empress Jia frowned.

Princess Xiangyang ignored her reaction and pressed on. “On that day, Mr. Song was cornered by the scholars of the Academy and then driven out of the town by the officials. Thereafter, his whereabouts was unknown.

“After Master found out, she packed up her bag that day, bid farewell to her family, and left Mountain Spring Town overnight to embark on a journey to look for her husband.

“The only reason she went to look for Brother Second Prince was that he was the only person who could help her locate Mr. Song.”

“But it was a pity. Until today, Master still couldn’t locate Mr. Song.” Princess Xiangyang could not help but sigh at this point.

She had heard these things from her master and the people near her.

In this world, there was probably no woman who could live in such a carefree manner as her master.

If she were to compare the women in the world, she felt that no one was more blissful and fortunate than her Empress mother.

However, in terms of men, there was probably no one who could compare to that Mr. Song.

Upon hearing this, Empress Jia began mulling over some ideas again.

She gave a glance toward the outside again and sighed.

“But that Song Que is very likely no longer alive,” she replied.

She had asked someone to investigate Marquis Xiaoyao previously and knew a little about what her daughter had told her.

However, she didn’t realize that Marquis Xiaoyao’s feelings for Song Que were even stronger than she had expected.

In this case, it would be impossible for Marquis Xiaoyao to marry the Crown Prince.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t give up on this idea just like that.

Princess Xiangyang glanced at her mother and guessed her thoughts.

Hence, she said, “It’s not entirely impossible for Empress Mother to get my Master to marry Brother Crown Prince.”

“Oh?” Empress Jia looked at Princess Xiangyang.

Princess Xiangyang smiled and continued, “Provided Brother Crown Prince can attract Master’s attention and make Master fall in love with him.”

After seeing the hesitation in Empress Jia’s eyes, Princess Xiangyang added, “If Brother Crown Prince can really do it, that would be the best.

“For a passionate and devoted person like Master, once she falls in love, she will not turn back.

“If Brother Crown Prince gets Master’s help in the future, would Emperor Father and Empress Mother still need to worry about him?”

Empress Jia’s heart skipped a beat.

She raised her head and looked at Princess Xiangyang.

Princess Xiangyang nodded at her mother with a solemn look in her eyes.

Empress Jia finally relented.

“Sigh…” She sighed deeply.

“I’m afraid that she will not fancy your older brother,” she responded. As she spoke, she even looked outside.

She knew her son.

The Crown Prince was good in everything, but his character was too weak..
