"But the Princess doesn’t like you at all. What you’re doing is imposing your will!" Su Yan frowned, expressing displeasure.

Cang Mo laughed and said, "The Princess may not like me now, but she will definitely like me in the future. Generally, women don’t like the men they’re about to marry until after they are wed. I believe the Emperor will agree with this view of mine."

"No, he won’t! The Emperor would never agree to marry Su Ya to you!" Su Yan blurted out.

No matter what, she couldn’t bear to watch Su Ya marry someone like Cang Mo.

"Impudent!" Empress Dowager Wen suddenly shouted harshly. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"How dare you, a mere palace maid, presume to guess the Emperor’s thoughts? Whether the Emperor decides to marry the Princess to my son is his affair. Since when do you have the privilege to speculate on the Emperor’s intentions?"

Su Yan was left speechless by her words.

She had forgotten that one must never casually guess Chu Yuxiao’s intentions in front of outsiders.

This might be acceptable among palace members, but not in front of people from other countries.

Otherwise, it would cause them to look down on Chu Yuxiao and taint his honor.

As Su Yan bit her lip and struggled to find a reply.

A voice suddenly interrupted.

"Empress Dowager Wen is right. Others indeed shouldn’t randomly guess my thoughts. However, just now I heard Empress Dowager Wen and the Seventh Prince say that I would certainly agree to this marriage. I wonder if that counts as them speculating on my thoughts."

Chu Yuxiao, who had been there for a while, stepped out from behind a cluster of plum trees.

He wore a bright yellow Dragon Robe, walking with his hands behind him, exuding the majesty of an emperor.

Seeing him, both Su Yan and Su Ya displayed looks of excitement.

Su Ya couldn’t help but run forward, excitedly saying, "Brother-in-law, you came just in time; they’re bullying us."

She was smart, not saying they bullied her alone, but including Su Yan as well.

She believed he would stand up for Su Yan and help them vent their grievances.

Seeing Su Ya reliant on him, Su Yan’s heart felt a tinge of bitterness.

She was her younger sister, not related by blood, but they once spent time together, so she would be kind to her.
