Shang Tian really doesn't remember what he said before; that wasn't him at all!
But how could he say those words?
If you say it out loud, you're bound to be misunderstood.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Seeing his attitude, Old Madam Chang was furious. "You clearly promised to dote on our young lady for the rest of your life, and now that you've just gotten married, you treat her like this. What will you do in the future?"
Shang Tian thought what she said made a lot of sense, so he said, "The old lady and I share the same view. How about this, I will write a letter of divorce to Miss Chang, and we will have no further dealings with each other in our future marriages?"
The old lady of the Chang family felt a surge of anger pressing on her chest. She had just married him, and now he wanted to divorce her?
Is this how they treat their daughter's life-long happiness?
"Your Highness, please don't push your luck."
Shang Tian nodded and asked, "So, what exactly do you want?"
He won't give them what they want, whether they stay or leave.
Although he couldn't bear to see the Chang family's cousin die because of him, he was even more unwilling to see Su Qian unhappy.
Although it was their fault, he wouldn't cross his bottom line because of it; there were certain things he wouldn't compromise on.
He understood what Madam Chang meant, but he couldn't agree to it.
Now, Old Madam Chang only has this one descendant. If she were to suffer the fate of a widow for the rest of her life, she would not be able to die in peace.
"Please do as you promised me, Your Highness."
Shang Tian looked at her coldly and said, "What did I promise you back then?"
Old Madam Chang didn't know that he had really forgotten, and thought he was humiliating her. Her old eyes turned red, and she slammed her cane on the ground. "How could you treat our young lady like this?"
How could you break your promise?
She was truly angry, and she really couldn't do anything about Shang Tian. She could only hope that he would keep his promise and treat the Chang family's cousin well.
Living under someone else's roof, one's children and grandchildren become estranged.
At this moment, Madam Chang realized that once she left the Chang family, she was nothing at all.
She didn't even have the courage to pull her granddaughter away.
Seeing the old woman like this, Shang Tian sighed helplessly and said, "Madam Chang, I have really forgotten what I promised you back then."
Everyone in the village knows what happened during that period.
I'm sure someone has warned you not to marry your granddaughter into the family.
If they hadn't been greedy, they wouldn't be in such a state today.
Someone did remind him, but how could someone with Shang Tian's status and character not be tempted?
Although he is only a prince now, he will become emperor when he ascends the throne, and the Chang family's cousin will become his concubine.
"We urge Your Highness to give us an explanation." Old Madam Chang closed her eyes, avoiding Shang Tian's question.
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Shang Tian stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Miss, you can stay, but you will only be serving A Qian. It has nothing to do with me."
Does the old lady understand?
Madam Chang understood perfectly well, but she was unwilling to face it. Now, hearing Shang Tian repeat it again, she knew there was no room for retreat.
"This old woman thanks Your Highness for giving her a meal." Seeing the old woman bowing, Shang Tian stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "Don't worry, Madam. As long as she has no ill intentions, we will not let her go hungry as long as we have food to eat."
But she was still a servant.
Old Madam Chang looked at the young lady of the Chang family and asked, "Do you want to come back with me?"
She knew the chances were very, very small, but...
A lifetime is so long, how could she be content with that?
The young lady from the Chang family shook her head.
