“But, didn’t Cousin Yan leave to serve the army? lie said that after this training is over…
“Now…” Sun Miaoke cried as she replied chokingly.
“What now? It’s too late.” Mrs. Sun said angrily.
Initially, she quite liked the Third Prince because he was the most noteworthy among the princes. She thought she had snagged a good son-in-law and didn’t expect such troubles.
She advised, “Let’s end this discussion here. During this period, stay at home and adjust your mood. You’ll marry the Third Prince in a month.”
“Mother…”
“It’s too late to say anything now. If you don’t want the entire Sun residence buried with you, you should obediently marry him.
“Moreover, the Third Prince is not only capable, but he is also good-looking.
He is a rare, good man.”
“But his personality is too cold.”
“Yan Hengdong has a good temper, but he has a concubine. He’s less devoted than you think.
“Since this imperial edict has been issued, you should properly sort out your emotions and marry the Third Prince.” At this time, Grand Scholar Sun walked in and added.
“Father, you… when did you arrive?” Sun Miaoke looked at Sun the Scholar with a guilty look.
“I was right behind you.
“I admit that Yan Hengdong is not bad, but he is not worth it for us to risk our lives to go against the Emperor.”
“But…”
“Think about it carefully. Why did he already have a concubine if he really liked you?”
“That’s right, Miaomiao. The one who loves the most will be the one who hurts the most. He has a concubine now and will have more in the future. Are you willing to serve a man with so many women?” Mrs. Sun reasoned.
“The Third Prince will also have one in the future.”
“Yes, but you don’t have such deep feelings for the Third Prince. Moreover, as long as you manage your marriage well, you can get a fulfilling marriage.”
After Mrs. Sun finished speaking, she walked out with Grand Scholar Sun.
Sun Miaoke was left alone in the room, crying silently. After she calmed down, she started to daydream.
Finally, Zhou Ying turned to the Yang family, noticing they were still waiting for Eunuch Li’s arrival.
Yang Wanyu, on the other hand, was clearly overjoyed, indicating they had already received some news about it. Mrs. Cui, on the other hand, was both pleased and concerned; Yang Shicheng’s expressionless face made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, the old madam sat inside, leaning against a chair and pretending to be asleep.
Roughly 15 minutes later, Eunuch Li and the others finally came to announce the edict.
After sending off Eunuch Li, Mrs. Cui went up to support her mother and said, “Mother, Wanyu is about to get married. You must give Wanyu a few good things as her dowry.”
“That’s for sure. No matter what, she will be a secondary consort and can’t be wedded off shabbily.” Madam Cui smiled and answered.
“Grandma is right.” Yang Wanning stepped forward and said, “I’ll have to trouble Grandma to take care of my dowry too.”
“You’re not part of our family. How can you ask for a dowry?” Mrs. Cui turned her head and glared at her in dissatisfaction.
“My biological mother is gone, and you’re busy preparing Wanyu’s dowry. 1 can only ask Grandma for help.”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Your wedding date is after Wanyu’s, so it won’t be too late to prepare yours after she gets married.”
“It’s only less than half a month away.
“If you guys are too busy, why don’t you return me my mother’s dowry? I’ll prepare it myself.” Yang Wanning’s expression suddenly hardened.
“You…” Mrs.. Cui was stunned momentarily, then she replied angrily, “You, what do you mean by that? Are you afraid that we will steal your mother’s dowry?”
