When Shangguan Ruoning heard the word "concubine", her fingers clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes, hidden under the veil, were full of viciousness.
If looks could kill, Su Liyue would have died a thousand times over already.
Ye Cangming didn't expect that Su Liyue would dare to say such provocative words in front of him, and with such a fearless look on her face.
After all, in his impression, she had a nice appearance but was vulgar, cowardly and vicious.
but--
Ye Cangming's gaze quickly shifted away from Su Liyue, and when it fell on Shangguan Ruoning, who was dressed in red, a complex look flashed across his eyes.
Thirteen years ago, when he was in the most difficult time, she saved him.
So, when people said over the years that she was the apple of his eye, he had no explanation. He just wanted to save her face for saving his life that time.
Besides, before Jiuer appeared, he had no one in his heart, so it didn’t matter.
As for the engagement with the Prime Minister's Mansion...it was just a verbal agreement between my mother and the former Prime Minister's wife. No one expected that my father would take it seriously and actually do it.
After Jiuer appeared, he should have clarified everything, but... everything that happened five years ago was a coincidence after all.
However, five years ago, marrying Su Liyue was a mistake in itself, and today, he couldn't make another mistake.
Since Jiuer has appeared again, even if he chases her to the ends of the earth, he will definitely dig her out and lock her tightly by his side.
Before that, he would clear out the backyard of his palace, let alone add more people.
He will let her know that they will be together for the rest of their lives - he, Ye Cangming, can promise it!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangming's gaze shifted away from Shangguan Ruoning without hesitation, and he glared coldly at Su Liyue, "Okay!"
Su Liyue's arrival was just the right time, and he could take advantage of the situation.
Let Su Liyue force Shangguan Ruoning to regret the engagement herself, which is better than him rejecting her.
After leaving Prince Zhan's Mansion, Shangguan Ruoning will have better options and won't have to waste her time on him in the future.
As for the rest, he will be able to make up for it when he has the chance.
Ye Cangming's "OK" shocked the guests.
War King Ye Cangming, when did you become so easy to talk to?
The last person who dared to challenge the King of War must have had very tall grass on his grave, right?
Not to mention the guests, even Su Liyue felt a little unreal at this moment.
Just for a moment, she felt the oppression coming from Ye Cangming.
Moreover, she seemed to see a hint of pity in Ye Cangming's eyes when he looked at Shangguan Ruoning.
According to the normal plot, if she had slapped Ye Cangming's white moonlight in the face like this, shouldn't Ye Cangming have protected Bai Yueguang and turned angry with her?
She had thought of three or five ways to deal with it... but now it seemed there was no need to use them.
However, this is also a good thing, saving a lot of trouble and risk.
At this moment, Su Liyue had no idea that Ye Cangming wanted to use her to clear up the trouble, and even she herself would be cleared out.
"Your Highness is a man of great propriety." Su Liyue curled her lips, a look of satisfaction on her face. "In that case, Your Highness, please have someone change your concubine's clothes. After all, I cannot wear this bright red wedding gown... It's presumptuous."
"Su... Sister, you..." Shangguan Ruoning could no longer hold back and lifted the veil herself. She looked at Su Liyue with a face full of grief and indignation. "Why do you have to be so aggressive?"
Shangguan Ruoning is a beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. With her exquisite makeup today and the red outfit, she looks even more charming and beautiful.
On ordinary days, Shangguan Ruoning always appears to be kind to others, but now her face is filled with grief and indignation, making people think that she has really had enough of being bullied at this moment.
But what Su Liyue said was the truth.
Therefore, when Shangguan Ruoning accused her of this, Su Liyue simply smiled at her glare, which was filled with anger, and said calmly, "This is a rule passed down from ancient times. How can you say that I'm being aggressive? Are you trying to covet my position as the principal wife?"
Before Shangguan Ruoning could respond, Su Liyue feigned awakening from a dream, looking at her in shock. "Come to think of it, I've been safe and sound in the nunnery for five years. A few days ago, I heard the news that the prince would return to the capital and you would get married, and then I discovered that the tea I drank was poisoned. And today, you came openly into Prince Zhan's mansion in a bright red dress. Could it be that the poison was specially prepared for me by you, my sister, so that I could make way for you? I've heard that you know medicine."
Su Liyue said these half-truths lightly and innocently, but the cause and effect were clear, making them seem very convincing.
Shangguan Ruoning didn't know how to refute Su Liyue's first sentence, because as long as Su Liyue was alive, she could not be the main wife, and according to the rules, she could not wear bright red.
And this last sentence made Shangguan Ruoning even more confused.
Su Liyue, she had never taken her seriously before, and had never even considered her an opponent.
But now, she realized that she had underestimated Su Liyue in the past.
Moreover, to be able to say such words... Su Liyue, does she know something?
For a moment, Shangguan Ruoning's eyes were slightly solemn, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes.
Because of this, Shangguan Ruoning was unable to defend herself immediately, so some onlookers looked at her with suspicion.
When Shangguan Ruoning came back to his senses and realized it, his heart tightened a little, but he regained his composure in a moment.
However, before responding, Shangguan Ruoning subconsciously looked at Ye Cangming.
