Xia Xueyi frowned and sneered.
"This matter may be somewhat difficult to handle."
"Xu Pengju, the second son of the Duke of Wei, is currently engaged to my younger sister, Xueting. Do you want me to give up my future brother-in-law's title for your son?"
Su Wanwan was somewhat surprised, then lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, I withdraw my request and will not disturb Your Majesty's peace."
Xu Peng'an's half-brother, Xu Pengju, was truly adept at social maneuvering, even managing to get close to the Empress's sister.

"It's nothing..." Su Wanwan was in a hurry to avoid people, so she gave a simple, perfunctory reply and rushed out of Jinghe Gate.
