Chapter 47: Read but Not Replied
"I am the Crown Prince, and besides, we are childhood friends. Why are you unwilling?"
Yu Yuanchao withdrew his empty hand, his face showing disbelief.
He was already drunk last night before even drinking the wine Chen Ruolan brought him, and he was only half-willing when things happened.
Even just now, when he was standing outside the door, he still felt that this was not a big deal, but his mother kept nagging him to win over the Yuan family.
He is the crown prince, and he will be the emperor in the future. It's only a matter of time before he has a harem of concubines. Right now, he is just favoring a concubine's daughter. What's the big deal?
Does that mean if he establishes a concubine, Yuan Siyin will really refuse to marry him?
Is it strange that you don't want to?
"Impossible! I have always treated you extremely well, and besides, you will become the Crown Prince and Empress of the world in the future. Isn't that enough?"
Yu Yuanchao frowned, seemingly puzzled.
"so what?"
"Therefore you should marry me; this is something others would beg for."
For some reason, the more Yuan Siyin listened to him speak, the angrier she became.
What does it mean to say you should marry him?
So he's the only man in the world?
"You've been good to me, so you mean I should be grateful and devoted to you, right?"
I said I didn't want to.
Finally, too tired to pretend any longer, her voice gradually turned cold and hard, and her answer was decisive, leaving no room for maneuver.
"How dare you disobey me like this?"
Do you know that this is disobeying the imperial edict? Aren't you afraid that I will execute your entire family?
Yu Yuanchao blurted it out in a fit of anger.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has quite the nerve, demanding the extermination of a subject's daughter and her entire family even before ascending the throne."
If Your Highness does not believe me, you may request an imperial edict. If the edict is issued, the marriage will be settled without further discussion.
But Your Highness cannot obtain it, for I am unwilling.
Yuan Siyin dared to say this because, looking across the entire capital, no one else besides her could say such a thing.
The woman's expression was arrogant and haughty, as if nothing mattered to her, just like when Yu Yuanchao first met her, which aroused jealousy and resentment in him.
But when he thought about how he was the crown prince and would need the Yuan family's help to ascend the throne in the future, Yu Yuanchao could only suppress the fire in his chest.
He still had a smile on his face, but the smile was more painful than crying.
"I lost my composure just now. Since Sister Siyin is unwilling, I cannot force her. After all, we are childhood sweethearts and have been friends since we were young."
This matter is not urgent; we can discuss it later.
After saying that, he glared at Yu Shiyan with a dark expression, then turned and left.
As soon as he left, the room returned to silence.
Yuan Siyin let out a long sigh.
She originally didn't want things to get too tense with the Crown Prince, but the more he talked, the more outrageous it became.
The last time I was this speechless was the time before.
"Why are you and him childhood sweethearts too?"
Yu Shiyan's voice sounded softly behind her.
Yuan Siyin turned to look at him, speechless for a moment.
Can you only have one childhood sweetheart? Has this guy forgotten that the thing just now was his brother?
Yu Shiyan pursed his lips, seemingly getting the answer from her eyes. He turned away sullenly, curled up in the corner and hugged his knees without saying a word, his dark eyes glistening with tears.
She was like a child who had been bullied and hadn't received any comfort, feeling wronged but not saying a word.
"Take your medicine first, and I'll have Physician Liu come in to take your pulse in a bit."
Little White Flower has read but not replied.
Yuan Siyin: "..."
As the saying goes, the tears you shed now are the result of the foolishness you had yesterday.
