"Tell me quickly, what is it? I want to see what could possibly affect your relationship with me!"
Liang Xuanyu had completely lost his patience. Ever since he first saw Liu Ruyu, he had had the urge to marry her and ravage her. Now that he saw her finally give him some response, he felt extremely excited.
He had only one thought in mind: he had to win this woman over today.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Liu Ruyu looked up at Liang Xuanyu and said with difficulty, "I swore to my mother that I would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine... Now that Young Master Liang is already married... I can't let down my deceased mother..."
The more she talked, the more embarrassed she became, and she almost cried in the end.
"Tsk tsk!" Sang Jiang couldn't help but click her tongue twice as she looked at her. How come she hadn't noticed how dramatic this woman was before?
Upon hearing her words, Liang Xuanyu frowned deeply. Dongchen valued filial piety above all else, and if Liu Ruyu went against her mother's last wishes, she would be despised by everyone.
Liang Xuanyu was also at a loss.
As Princess Yongping drew closer, Liu Ruyu pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from her face with a handkerchief, saying, "Young master, there's no need to be troubled. I'll just stay away from you from now on."
As she spoke, she turned to leave.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Liang Xuanyu couldn't let her leave. He quickly shouted at Liu Ruyu's back, "Miss Liu, I am willing to marry you!"
His voice was extremely firm.
Liu Ruyu turned to him in surprise, but her expression fell when she saw Princess Anping behind her. However, where no one could see, her eyes were full of mockery: "Forget it, Young Master Liang already has the princess. I'd better not go up and make a fool of myself."
Her voice was gentle yet trembling, making Liang Xuanyu feel as if his heart was breaking.
He stepped forward, intending to grab Liu Ruyu's arm again, but she dodged him once more. He was so overjoyed that he didn't notice Liu Ruyu's unusual behavior.
He wasn't annoyed by Liu Ruyu's evasiveness: "Miss Liu, please don't say that. How can that tigress compare to you? My heart has always belonged only to you. I'll be there in a bit..."
"Liang Xuanyu!" Princess Anping shouted through gritted teeth.
Liang Xuanyu's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around, his body rigid.
Princess Anping looked at him and sneered: "A tigress? Hmm? This princess is no match for a mere courtesan?"
Liang Xuanyu was completely stunned and didn't know what to say. She glanced at Liu Ruyu and then at Princess Anping, her gaze slowly lingering between the two of them.
Princess Anping's anger flared even more when she saw that he remained silent: "Fine! Liang Xuanyu! Very well, I'll go home right now and tell my father that we should get a divorce!"
After she finished speaking, she stomped her foot and ran away.
The ladies and young women who were with her watched her leave, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Madam Liu broke the deadlock: "Ladies, since we're here today, let's have a little get-together so we don't come all this way for nothing."
She was one of the older people in the group, and because her husband's family held a high position, they still gave her face.
As soon as she said this, everyone nodded in agreement, and the group of people escorted her away.
