"I saw her!" Fourth Master said, his face dark. Su Peisheng had already been dragged away and given twenty lashes, all because he helped Lanqin deceive him. Fourth Master naturally didn't want to punish Lanqin, but he was genuinely angry.
"Your Highness has such a stern face, I'm so scared!" Lanqin immediately said obediently and cautiously.
When the Fourth Prince saw that the little woman was indeed frightened, he couldn't hold back any longer, but he still wouldn't let it go easily, saying: "You know how to be afraid? You've all conspired with that dog servant Su Peisheng to deceive me!"
Lanqin hadn't seen Su Peisheng when she came in, and now that she heard Fourth Master say this, she knew things couldn't be good.
"Your Highness, Su Peisheng only did what I told him to do. Your Highness is not one to hold grudges, so please don't make things difficult for him," Lanqin said, tugging at the Fourth Prince's sleeve.
Sigh, with this little woman putting on such a "I'm wrong" act, Fourth Master really can't harden his heart!
"He's only been given twenty strokes of the cane, his buttocks haven't even been bruised yet!" Fourth Master said. "But Wuxiha, she hasn't come back with you yet?"
Lanqin quickly said, "Your Highness, I think Prince Suhar is very suitable for Ushiha. Why don't you grant them their wish?"
Upon hearing Lanqin's words, Fourth Master looked at the young woman in surprise and said, "How can a prince from a remote country, who is not even the crown prince, be worthy of our Uxiha?"
"Your Highness," Lanqin said slowly, "Although he is not the Crown Prince, do you not know what kind of temperament Your Highness's Fourth Princess is? If you were to truly make her the Empress, she might not be able to adapt. Ushiha has been lively and unrestrained since childhood, and I haven't disciplined her all these years. Now, trying to confine her to those rules and regulations is probably too late. I think it would be better to consider another aspect. I've heard that princes of Dayuan cannot marry concubines or secondary wives; they can only have one wife in their lifetime. This way, Ushiha won't have to worry about the struggle between wives and concubines. Secondly, if we form an alliance with Dayuan through marriage, they can help us counterbalance the surrounding small countries. Thirdly, I think that Suhar is a talented person and very handsome; he would be a good match for our Ushiha. If Your Highness misses Ushiha, then let them reside permanently in the capital."
"Judging from your expression, you've obviously already agreed to them?" Fourth Master said, unmoved.
Lanqin pondered how to tell Fourth Master the fact that Wuxiha and the prince had already consummated their relationship.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?" Fourth Prince asked, noticing Lanqin's hesitant expression.
“Your Highness, Ushiha has already become engaged to that Suhar. If we object again, Ushiha might elope with him. Then the reputation of our Prince Yong’s Mansion will be ruined.” Lanqin had no choice but to tell the truth.
What!
The Fourth Prince clenched his fist, his shoulders trembling with anger, but he stubbornly refrained from lashing out. He simply said, "While Ushiha is certainly lively and spirited, she is not the kind of girl who is promiscuous. I do not believe it!"
"Your Highness, I went to where Suhar was staying, but they weren't there. If Your Highness were to arrest them now, it might be too late. I beg Your Highness, please agree to their marriage. This marriage isn't without its merits. Your Highness wants Ushiha to be by your side, but this is her destiny. I believe things shouldn't be forced, and we should go with the flow," Lanqin said hastily.
