The custom in T country is to pick up the bride in the morning. Ye Qingqing took Princess Luo back to Gongsun Lin's place. Edward was still asleep. Ye Qingqing injected him with nutrient solution, and his complexion was quite good, just like when he was asleep.
After being given the antidote for the cartilage-inducing powder, Edward slowly woke up. He saw that Ye Qingqing's expression had changed, and he struggled to get up. He still had to go and save Julie.
"Want to save your sweetheart? Too late. She's getting married today. I can take you to the wedding." Princess Luo shoved him aside, her voice icy.
Her son was a huge disappointment to her; he was such an ingrate. For a woman he had only known for two years, he had the heart to stab his mother, who had raised him for eighteen years, in the heart.
No wonder people say that children are born to collect debts; the old saying is absolutely true.
After this incident, Princess Luo's thoughts changed drastically. Before, she devoted herself entirely to Edward, and her son was definitely her top priority, which made her husband jealous all the time.
Now she's come to terms with it. Her children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Edward is an adult now, and she doesn't need to devote her heart to him anymore. The only ones who will be with her in her old age are her husband and her son... well, she's not counting on them anymore!
"Mom, you've disappointed me so much! I'm going to stop the wedding! Julie was forced into it!"
Edward was frantic. In an email Julie sent him, she said that the king was forcing her to marry an old and ugly man, and that her body and soul belonged to Edward, and she would rather die than comply.
“You disappoint me even more. How do you plan to stop me? What right do you have to stop me? Who even knows you!” Princess Luo showed no mercy, each word like a slap across Edward’s face.
Ye Qingqing took a few steps back, not daring to utter a sound. She used to think that Princess Luo was gentle and refined, but now it seemed that it was all an illusion. Look at her sharp tongue and fiery temper, how could she possibly be gentle?
However, if it were her, and she had a good-for-nothing son like Edward, she would definitely scold him even more harshly, and then call Lu Mo to give him a good beating. He's lost his mind, a beating will bring him to his senses, and if one beating isn't enough, she'll beat him several more times.
"Mom... I beg you... let me go save Julie, I'll die without her..." Edward cried.
Julie is his life!
But these words only enraged Princess Luo, who slapped Edward across the face, leaving his handsome face swollen and his appearance much uglier.
"You want to die for a vicious woman? I don't have a stupid and weak son like you. You want to die, huh? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"
Princess Luo rushed into the living room, then rushed back in a flurry, carrying a gleaming fruit knife. Ye Qingqing was startled and tried to stop Princess Luo, lest someone actually die.
Lu Mo grabbed her, smiled and shook his head. Edward was a coward, how could he really die? No one knows a son better than his mother, and Princess Luo knew this too, which is why she dared to provoke Edward like this.
Sure enough, Edward turned pale with fright, staring fearfully at the fruit knife. He felt that his mother was a complete stranger. His mother used to be kind and gentle to him, always smiling, and rarely even scolded him. But now she was telling him to die!
"Mom... are you still Mom?" Edward called out in disbelief.
He suspected that his mother was possessed by an evil spirit. His grandfather had told him some Chinese folk tales that if a person's personality suddenly changes drastically, it is very likely that he is possessed by a ghost.
Ye Qingqing twitched her lips. This prince had lived too privilegedly since childhood and was ignorant of the hardships of life, which was why he was so naive and easily fooled by Julie.
Princess Luo was too lazy to waste words with him, so she had Lu Mo tie him up and then had Ye Qingqing give him acupuncture to make him mute before forcing him to watch the wedding.
