Lin Mo really wanted to shout "Holy crap!"
Before he could respond, Jiang Wan'er waved her hand, and two maids led a girl slowly over.
The girl was dressed in white, with long hair falling to her shoulders, as black as night, and a pair of eyes as gentle as autumn water.
She was a beauty with skin as smooth as cream, radiant with a fluorescent glow, as white as jade, and as pure as snow.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Regent!" the girl bowed to Lin Mo.
"No need for formalities, cousin!" Lin Mo deliberately raised her voice when responding. "Please sit down!"
After the girl sat down, Jiang Wan'er leaned over and asked, "How is it? Do you like it?"
Lin Mo frowned again, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Wan'er. "Mother, can we talk privately?"
"Huh?" Jiang Wan'er asked, puzzled. "Didn't you like it?"
Lin Mo frowned. She was beautiful, he thought. To be honest, she was even more beautiful than Sun Ruoxi and Su Qing'er.
However, this girl's father...
"Let's talk about this privately for now!" Lin Mo insisted.
Helpless, Jiang Wan'er had no choice but to cooperate with her son and exchange pleasantries with the three Huo siblings before instructing the servants in the mansion to arrange for them to stay.
Afterwards, the two went to the backyard.
"Mother, I don't think highly of my cousin!" Lin Mo said bluntly.
Why?
"Let me be frank!" Lin Mo said, "The reason Su Zhongxiang sent Qing'er directly to Xichuan City is because the Su clan chieftain is weaker than his son."
Meanwhile, his people continued to have food and supplies for the winter. He did this out of necessity for his people.
And what about my cousin? Don't you think he's too obsessed with power?
I dare say this cousin doesn't expect me to hold a wedding, right?
Jiang Wan'er was speechless for a moment, "But, Mo'er, we need his loyalty."
“Mother, trust me, your son will handle all the crises himself!” Lin Mo said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan'er was displeased. "Mo'er, according to you, you're going to call off the engagement now?" she asked.
“Regret…” Lin Mo froze.
To say you're calling off the engagement now is tantamount to declaring war.
This is so unfair, so bullying...
"Can we stall?" Lin Mo asked. "Urgent reports keep coming from the border, and I have decided to send troops tomorrow."
"No!" Jiang Wan'er said firmly, "We'll send troops tomorrow, and consummate the marriage tonight! Your cousin has made it clear that his daughter will be empress, and for this..."
"Damn it!" Lin Mo cursed under his breath.
Oh my god, she just arranged it for me like that.
Suddenly, Lin Mo had a flash of inspiration, "Mother, he said his daughter is going to be empress?"
"That's right!"
"Hehe!" Lin Mo smiled. "That's easy!"
Jiang Wan'er, "???"
"Let's make arrangements for the new emperor!"
"Huh? What?" Jiang Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.
