Yan Zhiwu looked at his mother’s worried and disapproving eyes, then at the Sun couple’s expectant eyes. He was caught in a dilemma.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at the Grand Scholar Sun and said, “Uncle, I would like to see Miaoke. If she is willing to marry me, 1 am willing to enter the palace to give it a try.”
“I don’t agree.” After Mrs. Yan finished speaking, she dragged him out.
“Mother, this is our only chance. Let me try. No matter if it succeeds or not, I won’t regret it in the future.”
“You bastard, have you ever thought about your father and me? You might lose your life if you go. I don’t want to see you die.
“Also, if we anger the Emperor, it will be a disaster for our two families.”
When Mrs. Yan said this, she looked at Grand Scholar Sun and said, “Brother-in-law, don’t just watch. Hurry up and persuade him.
“Are you really prepared to lose your beloved daughter and even bury your entire family with her?”
“The Emperor is a wise ruler.” Grand Scholar Sun declared firmly.
Even though the Emperor was narrow-minded and easy to suspect, he was still commendable in other aspects. Otherwise, the country would have been in chaos long ago.
“You…” Mrs. Yan choked on her words but did not dare refute him.
She just grabbed onto Yan Zhiwu’s arm and said, “Anyway, you can’t go.”
Grand Scholar Sun looked at Mrs. Yan’s vehement opposition, and his heart began to waver.
With her attitude, even if they succeeded in the end, his daughter would have a hard time marrying him.
If Yan Zhiwu’s or the Yan family’s future were affected because of their marriage, then her daughter would be doomed regardless.
He spoke up, saying, “I still have something to do, so 1 won’t keep you here. There are still two days.
“Two days later, when the Third Prince’s betrothal gift arrives, there will be no room for you to ease up.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Yan Zhiwu wanted to stop him, but Mrs. Yan forbade him.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she was also dissatisfied. She was tired of watching a double act from this mother and son.
She got up and said, “Cousin sister, Zhiwu, you two should go home and discuss it properly. I have to go and watch over Miaoke.”
“Auntie, 1 want to visit Miaoke.” Yan Zhiwu immediately repeated his request.
Mrs. Yan didn’t object this time, but Mrs. Sun rejected it directly. “Forget it. She’s sick in bed now, and it’s inconvenient for her to see anyone.”
Afterward, she left her personal maidservant to accompany them while she went to Sun Miake’s room.
When Yan Zhiwu’s mother saw this, she also knew that the Sun couple did not welcome them any further. She immediately pulled the reluctant Yan Zhiwu out and left their residence.
Yan Zhiwu thought of the Sun couple’s attitude and knew that before he made up his mind, they would not let him see his cousin sister again.
In the end, he decided to follow his mother back home obediently. He planned to take some time to discuss it with his father before making a decision.
As soon as Mrs. Sun entered her room, Sun Miao struggled to get up.
Mrs. Sun immediately went forward to hold her down and said, “Come on, do you know how sick you are? I lurry up and lie down.”
“Mother, is cousin here? He came to see me, right?” Sun Miaoke grabbed her mother’s sleeve and asked her with an expectant look.
Mrs. Sun paused for a moment and waved at Qing Tao.
Qing Tao immediately put down the food tray in her hand, bowed, and led the maidservants out of the room.
After they left, Mrs. Sun helped Sun Miao sit up. After a moment of silence, she gave in under the urging of her daughter’s eyes and told her everything they had just said..
