At this point, she suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that Tingzhou misunderstood Wanwan."
"That rebellious son." Gu An gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Don't worry, Madam, this is a marriage granted by the Queen Mother. He doesn't have the guts to disobey."
The master has confidence in the prince, and Ye Huaisu is not worried that his niece will have other thoughts. The old house has been sold, and Ji Yuan is not someone she can rely on. The only ones this girl can rely on now are himself and the Duke's Mansion.
At worst, she could wait until things calmed down a bit, then she could mediate and take that brothel bitch as her concubine, so that both sides could save face.
With this in mind, Ye Huaisu went with Gu An to greet the guests with peace of mind.
......
Ji Yuan accompanied Ye Wanshu back to Cuiweitang and dismissed Chunhong and Xingtao. Seeing his daughter's face still as calm as still water, he said with some concern, "Wanwan, cry if you want to. When you're done, Dad will take you home."
She stared quietly at her father's kind face. If it weren't for the memory of him allowing those concubines to bully and humiliate her and her mother, Ye Wanshu would have actually believed that he would be a good father.
No matter how her aunt schemed, she would never threaten her life, but it was hard to say about the person in front of her.
"Father, if I go back with you, have you thought about how to explain to the Queen Mother?" Ye Wanshu began to think of an excuse to evade him.
Ji Yuan curled his lips in disdain: "Silly girl, so many people saw it today. It was that bastard who betrayed you. Why do you even need to think about explaining it to the Queen Mother?"
Ye Wanshu said, "But there's still room for change. My father is in a high position and is feared by others. I'm afraid that if I leave, my uncle will turn against me and put the blame on me."
This reminded Ji Yuan.
Today, that bastard Gu Tingzhou said those outrageous words. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been thrown into prison and had his tendons and bones peeled off. But he is the nephew of the empress dowager, not to mention that Gu An controls the imperial army, and even the emperor has to be a little wary of him.
If Gu Tingzhou cannot be convicted of the crime of refusing marriage and disobeying the imperial order, it will be a difficult matter for him to take Wanwan back.
"Wanwan, then you should stay in the Duke's Mansion and endure this for a few more days."
Ji Yuan said, "Your uncle said the wedding will be in a month. Father will definitely inform His Majesty before then to cancel the engagement."
This really touched Ye Wanshu's heart.
She knew that besides her father, there was another person in Lin'an who did not want her to marry into the Duke's Mansion. As long as her father persuaded the emperor to intervene in this matter, she could legitimately get rid of this marriage.
