Remembering Consort Su's instructions, Su Renyi glared at Madam Zhong and Su Feiling and said, "Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Don't provoke her again for now. We'll talk about it after this is over."
Neither Zhong nor Su Feiling uttered a sound.
Su Renyi wasn't sure if the two had listened, and then, as if remembering something, asked, "Is that Green Lotus one of yours?"
Upon hearing him suddenly mention Green Lotus, Su Feiling asked warily, "What does Father want to do?"
Su Renyi didn't explain much, only instructing, "Have her come to see me tonight; I have something to tell her!"
They wouldn't be staying in the General's Mansion for many more days; they needed to deliver on the instructions given by Consort Su as soon as possible.
“Okay.” Su Feiling replied with a deep look in her eyes.
Su Xuening, holding the imperial edict, led Su Yun'an back to Jingxue Pavilion.
Back in the room, Su Yun'an asked worriedly, "Sister, are you really going to marry that Holy King?"
Xuanyuan Yu said that the Holy King was so sick he was about to die, how could my sister marry such a person!
Su Xuening gave a helpless bitter smile: "The Emperor's decree has been issued, and my sister has no choice!"
Even if her father were still alive, she probably couldn't defy the imperial decree. Moreover, now that only she and her brother are left to depend on each other, how could she possibly defy this decree?
Seeing the bitterness on Su Xuening's face, Su Yun'an felt both heartache and self-reproach. Suddenly, as if making a decision, he said, "Sister, I want to become stronger!"
He's too weak. When his sister is in trouble, he can't help her at all. He must become stronger; only by becoming stronger can he protect her. For example, right now, if his sister really doesn't want to marry, he could defy the imperial decree and take her away from here. But right now, he doesn't even have that ability.
Knowing that Su Yun'an felt sorry for her, Su Xuening's eyes were full of warmth. She reached out and stroked Su Yun'an's little face, saying, "Yun'an, do you want to learn martial arts? I'll take you to find a master tomorrow."
She was to be married in three days. The Emperor and the Holy Prince's Dowager Princess probably wanted her to bring good luck to the Holy Prince.
After she gets married, Yun'an will be all alone in the General's Mansion. She's really worried about him. She might as well entrust him to her master. Her master is not only skilled in medicine but also in martial arts. If he is willing to take Yun'an as his disciple, she can rest assured.
"Yes, I want to learn martial arts, I want to become stronger!" Su Yun'an nodded earnestly.
Rather than pursuing a literary career and entering officialdom, he preferred to learn martial arts. Once he mastered martial arts, he could not only protect his sister but also become a great general like his father. Only by leading troops into battle like his father would the emperor value them, the siblings.
Looking at Su Yun'an's determined little face, Su Xuening's eyes were full of tenderness: "Whatever you want to do, I will support you."
"Me too. No matter what decision my sister makes, I will always stand by her side."
Even if his sister were to defy the imperial decree, even if they were both to be beheaded, he would still support her decision.
How could Su Xuening not understand Su Yun'an's meaning? Her nose suddenly tingled, and she gently stroked Su Yun'an's face: "Go back and rest early. I will take you to find a master tomorrow."
Su Yun'an understood Su Xuening's decision; she had decided to marry into the Holy King's Mansion.
Although Su Yun'an didn't think highly of that Holy King, he would support his sister's decision since it was hers.
"Sister, you should get some rest too."
Su Yun'an bowed to Su Xuening and then obediently left.
After Su Yun'an left, Bihe gave Lülian a wink.
Green Lotus understood perfectly well and consciously withdrew.
Now she has no status whatsoever by the young lady's side. Originally, she was on equal footing with Bilian, but now Bihe can order her around at will. But who can she blame? Now she doesn't dare to hope for any status or anything, she only hopes to stay safe and alive by the young lady's side.
After Green Lotus left, Bihe went over and closed the door before returning to Su Xuening's side and whispering, "Miss, are you really going to marry into the Holy King's Mansion?"
"You want me to disobey the imperial decree?" Su Xuening stared at the scroll of imperial edict, raising an eyebrow as she asked.
...Defying the imperial decree? Of course, Bihe didn't want her to defy the imperial decree either. Defying the imperial decree would mean the execution of the entire family. Not to mention the young lady and the young master, even they, the servants, would not escape.
“But you, you…” Bihe looked at Su Xuening, who seemed anxious and unable to speak.
Su Xuening knew exactly what she was trying to say, and simply said calmly, "I know what I'm doing, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Yes." Su Xuening's composure instantly put Bihe at ease.
For some reason, as soon as Bihe saw her young mistress's calm and composed demeanor, she felt no worries at all, as if the sky would never fall as long as her young mistress was there.
She only learned that her mistress was no longer a virgin when Granny Jiang examined her.
Of course, the young lady didn't say it explicitly, but just asked her to do the examination for her. No one knows what the young lady did to Granny Jiang, but Granny Jiang actually mistook her for the young lady.
Miss is really amazing; she managed to get through that hurdle without any real danger.
Miss has always been virtuous and would never do such a thing. It must have been the Second Miss and the others who tricked Miss with the Drunken Harmony technique that caused her to lose her virginity.
Those damned Fourth Miss and Second Miss! How could they have harmed Miss like this! Fourth Miss got her comeuppance, but Second Miss hasn't yet. However, Miss will definitely seek revenge on Second Miss in the future.
Su Xuening stared intently at the imperial edict.
The Emperor's decree has been issued, leaving her with no way out. But isn't the Holy Prince's Mansion her best option?
I heard that the Holy King is seriously ill and only has a few days left to live. Once the Holy King dies, her child can inherit everything from the Holy King's Palace!
