Ye Ling quickly summoned the Duke of Qin to the palace.
Discuss this matter.
Duke Qin immediately knelt down before Ye Ling!
"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty to raise my daughter. It is Your Majesty's grace and her good fortune that Your Majesty is willing to give her a chance to atone for her sins!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to assist you in sending Qin Ran to the Great Xiongnu Kingdom and Wen."
The Duke of Qin knew perfectly well what was going on.
What will Qin Ran face after being sent for a political marriage?
Qin Ran has committed too many sins.
This was originally the outcome Qin Ran was supposed to face.
After Qin Ran was taken back to the Duke of Qin's mansion.
At the beginning.
Qin Ran was still smugly convinced that her father simply couldn't bring himself to put her in danger.
This is the second young lady of the Qin family.
She can still do it.
After she returned home.
She awaits.
It was an imperial decree from the Emperor bestowing upon her the title of princess!
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."
"Qin Ran, the second daughter of the Duke of Qin's family, is virtuous, kind, and exceptionally intelligent."
"Qin Ran is hereby granted the title of Princess Hewen."
Qin Ran heard this.
I feel like things are starting to go in a bad direction.
The four characters: 贤良淑德 (virtuous and kind).
Everyone in the entire Dayuan Palace knew that she was not worthy of him.
The emperor would never have spoken of her in such a way.
Yet, such a reputation was still bestowed upon her.
There must be a big problem here!
As expected.
The next second.
Gao Yong then read out the imperial edict.
"His Majesty has bestowed a marriage upon Princess Hewen today."
"Princess Hewen will be married off to the Great Xiongnu."
So be it!
Qin Ran's expression immediately changed drastically!
really!
conspiracy!
There's a huge conspiracy involved!
Taking her back to the mansion was a lie!
Restoring the Second Miss's status is a lie!
It's true that she's being sent for a political marriage!
It's true that she was made a pawn by the emperor!
Gao Yong said it casually.
"Princess Hewen, please express your gratitude."
Qin Ran immediately straightened up.
"I don't want to!"
Gao Yong frowned.
"Princess Hewen, are you trying to disobey the imperial decree?!"
"Do you know what the consequences will be?!"
Qin Ran immediately stood up.
He angrily retorted.
"Isn't it just a matter of dying?!"
"I'm not afraid to die!"
"Anyway, after I was kicked out of the Duke of Qin's mansion, I've been living a life worse than death ever since!"
"Doesn't His Majesty enjoy chopping people into mincemeat?! Then bring it on!"
"In short, I will never be the emperor's pawn!"
Qin Ran is now completely going all out!
What, the second young lady of the Qin family?
What Princess Wen?
What favor and glory.
She doesn't want any of them!
What does it mean to marry into a family on the grasslands?
She knew it all too well!
It means having to stay with a withered, unkempt old man!
When that old geezer passes away someday.
She, as a stepmother, also has to take care of that old man's son!
If she lives a long life.
After her new husband passed away.
She still has to look after that old man's grandson!
In short, as long as she lives a long life.
Then it will continue for generations to come, endlessly!
Qin Ran previously suffered a great loss because she was obsessed with Wang Xing's jawline when she was infatuated with him.
This time.
I'm not interested in being in a relationship anymore, no matter what.
Ye Ling had long guessed that Qin Ran would definitely be in a confrontational mood.
In response to this.
Ye Ling was prepared.
"Princess Hewen, do you intend to put the entire Qin family in danger?"
"The last person to disobey the imperial decree has already had their entire family wiped out!"
"Even if Princess Wen doesn't care about your sister's life, you must care about your father's life, right?"
Qin Ran said coldly.
Why should I care about that old geezer!
The Duke of Qin, who was kneeling and listening to the imperial decree, thought he had misheard.
What does his biological daughter consider him to be?
An old geezer?!
Gao Yong frowned.
“Princess Hewen, please watch your words. The Duke of Qin is your father.”
“He isn’t. From the day he severed ties with me, he stopped being my father!”
"He only has one daughter, Qin Qing."
"Smack—"
The Duke of Qin slapped Qin Ran hard across the face!
"You've done so many wrong things, without the protection of a get-out-of-jail-free card, anyone can kill you!"
"The reason the Xu family spared your life is because your sister still couldn't bring herself to harm you!"
"Otherwise, you would have been chopped into mincemeat by now!"
“Even without the Xu family, your arrogant and domineering nature when you were the second young lady of the Qin family has already made you many enemies, who could kill you at any time!”
"Now, it is by the Emperor's grace that you have been given a chance to live! Instead of expressing your gratitude, what are you doing barking like a dog here?!"
Qin Ran sneered.
"The Emperor really has a clever plan: to use me as a pawn in a political marriage!"
"I will defy the imperial decree! I will have the entire Qin family wiped out because of my defiance!"
"Oh, I almost forgot, you have an immunity token. Don't worry, even if I disobey the imperial decree, you won't die!"
Qin Ran's words about filial piety reaching the heavens.
This made the Duke of Qin so angry he vomited blood!
"Oh, so easily angered to the point of vomiting blood! A duke, huh? You really need to work on your mental fortitude!"
"Don't even think about slapping me again. The Emperor is counting on my face to go to the Great Xiongnu for a marriage alliance!"
Gao Yong watched from the side and sighed repeatedly.
This is Qin Ran's temperament.
She's even more eccentric than Princess Hejing back then!
