She suddenly realized that Liu Yu had been keeping it from her all along. Ultimately, it was to protect her and prevent her from implicating the Mu family. But now… even after marrying into the Bai family, she was still being targeted by the Crown Prince's faction. Fortunately, Bai Yehua promised to ensure her father's safe return.
Remembering that Liu Yu had entered the palace to refuse the marriage, she hurriedly asked, "What did the Emperor say?"
Mu Nanfeng quickly interjected: "Does Yu'er know that after your sister-in-law entered the family, she forbade me to take a concubine, and now that she is pregnant, I have consummated my marriage with Lingrong."

"Sister Fish, Sister Fish..."
Shen Yu turned her head and saw Lian Xiang rushing over, pulling her to a secluded spot and whispering in her ear: "[Hong Yu has disappeared. The Emperor has ordered a search of the entire capital, but there's still no trace of her. Sister Yu, do you know where Hong Yu is?]"
