Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Cross-Dressed Female General VS Stunning Vixen (Part Six) Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Cross-Dressed Female General VS Stunning Vixen (Part Six) Of course, if Fu Yunzhen, unable to bear the humiliation, were to run to the Emperor and actively request the cancellation of the marriage decree, that would be more than ideal.
Military generals are mostly hot-tempered, and Princess Shu He did not think the famous General Fu would be an exception.
However, what she had not expected was that General Fu could endure such outright humiliation without changing his expression.
Princess Shu He looked angrily at Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin easily discerned the meaning in her eyes; she really wanted to say to Her Royal Highness the Princess, “Sorry, you guessed right, I am indeed not a man.”
Princess Shu He glared at her for a long while before finally speaking angrily, “Fu Yunzhen, I am laying it out here today. I will not marry you! With someone like you, it’s like a toad craving swan meat, thinking of marrying me is simply delusional!”
After speaking, she scrutinized Gu Shengyin closely, hoping to discern something from her expression.
However, Gu Shengyin remained unfazed and said lightly, “Your Highness, saying this to me is of no use. My Fu Family has always been loyal to His Majesty, and we have no reason to defy His Majesty’s decree. If Your Highness truly is unwilling, you should report directly to His Majesty.”
After saying this, she looked at Princess Shu He, whose eyes had widened even more, and continued, “I only have the nation in mind, and originally had no interest in romantic affairs. However, since the decree has been passed by His Majesty, barring unforeseen circumstances, I too shall stand by Your Highness’s side, treating each other with respect.”
The meaning of these words was: You look down on me, Fu Yunzhen, and I’m not particularly fond of you either. It’s only for the sake of His Majesty’s marriage decree that I will respect you after we are married; you should expect nothing more.
Princess Shu He turned pale with fury at her blunt rebuttal, her chest heaving for a while before she coldly said, “Quite a smooth talker, General Fu! I always knew you were skilled in the art of war, but I never realized your tongue was sharper than that of most women.”
Gu Shengyin responded with a light smile, “Having many skills doesn’t hurt, Your Highness exaggerates the praise.”
Angry, Princess Shu He stormed off.
The reason she dared to be so brazen was simply because she counted on men’s pride. For men who have even a bit of spirit, being publicly scorned by a fiancee who wants to call off the engagement is not something they would advertise.
But she was wrong, for Fu Yunzhen was not a man at all.
If she could cancel this engagement with the princess, not only would it solve a major immediate problem, but it could also serve as a pretext in the future to reject other families’ marriage proposals. For Fu Yunzhen, what was a little gossip behind her back compared to such an advantageous opportunity?
Gu Shengyin walked out in a very good mood. She needed to plan carefully how she would bring up this matter with the Emperor.
The marriage certainly had to be canceled, but she could not be the one to initiate it. Princess Shu He thought she could easily extricate herself from it; it would not be that easy!
Dressed as a wealthy young nobleman, Gu Shengyin strolled leisurely through the streets. She was attractive, elegantly dressed, and sometimes glanced around and smiled slightly, causing many young girls to blush.
“Who do you think you are? You dirtied my clothes, and just a sorry is supposed to settle it? Do you know who I am?” a brash voice reached Gu Shengyin’s ears.
She looked in the direction of the voice.
