Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng was happy to give her a way out, so he waved his hand and said, "I understand, Madam, you don't need to take it to heart."
Madam Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Yin pursed her lips, and although she didn't say anything more, her face was full of resentment and anger.
But her grandmother had never glared at her so sternly before, and she hesitated for a moment before not daring to speak again.
Seeing that she had stopped shouting, Madam Hua was relieved and looked at Zhao Cheng, saying again, "Thank you for making this trip, Father-in-law."
Zhao Cheng said with a smile, "Madam Hua, you're too kind. It's our duty to convey the Emperor's decree." As he spoke, he casually handed the imperial edict to her. "We've already conveyed the Emperor's decree. The wedding is set for the fifteenth of next month. Madam, you should start preparing in advance."
"I understand," Madam Hua nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the imperial edict had been delivered, Zhao Cheng turned and left.
As soon as he left, the smile on Old Madam Hua's face vanished instantly. She released Hua Yin's hand, turned around, and sat down in a chair. "Do you want to destroy the entire Hua family?"
Seeing her grandmother's anger, Hua Yin immediately wiped away her tears, feeling wronged, and began to sob softly, "Grandmother, I don't want to marry into Jinzhou. My cousin suddenly issued the decree, and I'm so upset..."
Seeing her like this, Madam Hua's hardened heart softened again, and she couldn't bear to say any harsh words.
After a long pause, she said kindly, "Since your cousin has already issued the decree, it is probably impossible to change this matter. Don't think too badly. The person your cousin chose for you can't be too bad."
“But Jinzhou is too far away. I don’t want to go. I want to stay in the capital and be with my grandmother…” Hua Yin’s tears fell even more fiercely, giving people a feeling of heartbreak.
Seeing this, Old Madam Hua felt very sorry for her and sighed, saying, "But Grandmother is old and ill, and may leave you at any time. How much longer can you stay with me? You will have to walk the rest of the road by yourself."
Seeing that no matter what she said, she couldn't persuade her grandmother, Hua Yin fell silent for a moment.
She was absolutely unwilling to marry into Jinzhou.
Putting aside the long distance, more importantly, she didn't want to marry any man other than her cousin.
But now, his grandmother, who has always doted on him, refuses to help him anymore...
She bit her lip, her face covered in tears, her heart filled with resentment.
Seeing her like this, Old Madam Hua felt very sorry for her, but at the same time, she was conflicted.
The Emperor's sudden decree indicates that he has made up his mind to marry Yinyin off to Jinzhou. If Yinyin refuses to marry, it will be considered disobeying the imperial decree...
Xingxiu has presented them with a difficult problem.
Madam Hua had a splitting headache.
"Grandmother, please go and beg my cousin. For Grandfather's sake, he will surely retract his decision," Hua Yin said after a long while.
"But the imperial decree has already been issued..." Old Madam Hua was in a dilemma. She had brought up the old man in front of Xingxiu more than once, and she was afraid that Xingxiu would not listen to her this time.
Hua Yin suddenly knelt down at her feet, took her hand, and said with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother, Yin Yin's parents died early, and since I was little, Grandmother has been the only one I can rely on. If Grandmother is not willing to help me, I..." She pursed her lips, "...I would rather die!"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Hua was shocked and her eyes filled with pain. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you..." She sat up halfway but then sat back down, utterly exhausted. "You little brat..."
"Grandmother, Yinyin doesn't want to go to Jinzhou..." Huayin saw that her expression seemed to be softening, and took the opportunity to say it again.
