C99 (1/2)

The Emperor's actions were all to take a look at the power within his hands. He wouldn't be able to dodge this time.

”Shangguan Family, send a message to Feng Ting, tell him to find Miss before the imperial guards arrive and bring her back safely.”

In the study, the setting sun shone through the layers of leaves, reflecting on the table.

Shangguan Huanlei's few words were printed on the pure white paper, and then he said in a low voice to the old man who looked like an official family.

After that, the Shangguan Family was stunned for a moment before slowly leaving …

After the departure of Eunuch Lin with his Prime Minister's Estate, the mansion descended into a deathly stillness and without the slightest hint of happiness.

After Bai Zhiru found out where the princess was, he destroyed everything in the house. After the Prime Minister Bai found out about this, he flew into a rage and ordered Bai Zhiru to be grounded for more than a month.

The First Madam was even more heartbroken as a result, lying in his Autumn Lotus Garden without eating or drinking. Perhaps it was because the news had come so fiercely that her hopes had been dashed and her heart could not accept it.

As for Bai Zhiyuan, ever since he had received the imperial edict, he had locked himself in his room and did not see anyone.

Auntie Du who was sitting outside paced back and forth outside the house anxiously. She knew what her daughter was thinking. This time, she didn't even manage to get a Crown Prince's concubine. As the number one beauty in the Eastern County, she had really thrown her face away.

In the end, it was because she was too disappointing as a mother and didn't give her daughter a good background.

With a burst of anger, he ran towards the courtyard of Prime Minister Bai while crying.

On the side of the Scholar's Manor, in the courtyard, Situ Lingwei was standing in the garden, hugging a plethora of bright flowers as she ran. She looked just like a three year old child.

”Mom, you tell dad that I don't want to be the Crown Prince's secondary concubine. You know what I'm thinking.”

Situ Lingxue knelt on the cold ground, her voice soft and crisp as she spoke. She looked at her carefully, and saw traces of worry on her face. Her eyes were red with grief; she must have been crying.

In front of her, was the manager of the Priest Temple, Gu Qing. She was elegant, graceful, and exuded the aura of a noble woman.

”Xue'er, do you know what's the most important thing to a woman? It was to find a good family, to live a life of wealth and prosperity. You saw how stupid your sister is right now. She's even worse than a three year old child. I have bet all my hope on you, but do you have the heart to make me sad? ”

Madam Situ sighed, her tone filled with endless interest.

”But, Mother, you can't ruin your daughter's happiness just because of this! ”You know that Liu Lang and I know each other, and we share mutual feelings. We have long since promised that we would never marry anyone but each other.”

Situ Lingxue suddenly stood up. Her tears flowed like a fountain as she loudly roared at Madam Situ.

”Pa …”

Immediately, the crisp sound of a slap resounded through the quiet garden, scaring Situ Lingwei, who was playing in the distance, into tears.

”Mother, you actually hit me …”

Situ Lingxue clutched at her burning face, her body uncontrollably falling to the ground unconscious. He looked at his mother in disbelief.

”Xue'er, as the young miss of the Situ Family, do you really not know that your own marriage is not up to you to decide? Don't tell me you're not going to marry. If he really loves you, he should think for you and let you be happy, instead of obsessing about you. He is just a poor scholar, what can I give you to be happy? Xue'er, don't blame your mother for not reminding you. Even without Liu Qing Yuan, you are still someone who must enter the palace. You're so smart, you should understand us. ”

At this moment, Madam Situ was also flustered and exasperated, so she was forced to give her a slap.

At this time, his heart was also in pain, hitting his son's heart and hurting his mother. She just didn't want her daughter to go her own way. Was there something wrong with that?

”Mother, then are you happy?”

After a long while, Situ Lingxue stubbornly raised her head, suppressing her tears.

Once she said this, the surroundings instantly became silent. A trace of uneasiness flashed across Madam Situ's tired face, but it was quickly covered by a smile.

She did not answer and hesitated for a moment before hurriedly leaving with her maidservant.

Was she happy all her life?

She had also thought about this question too, perhaps because she had thought too much. Right now, she was numb and indifferent, unable to feel the so-called love and love.

”Woo woo …”

After Madam Situ left, Situ Lingxue leaned against a chair and cried until she was out of breath.

She really hated herself for being born on that day, hated those so-called Venerate Heavens Sect people, hated them for calculating that some lousy Phoenixis Maiden would appear here, and cause her happiness for the rest of her life.
