Chapter 633: Chapter 620: I Beg You
Afterwards, Mrs. Liang left with a satisfied smirk.
The Empress remained behind, gnashing her teeth for a long while, shattered one item after another in the hall.
Detestable, absolutely detestable!
This Mrs. Liang, she’s utterly detestable!
If she had known the extent of Mrs. Liang’s malevolence and greed earlier, she never would have allowed such a person to marry into the family!
The Empress nearly crushed her silver teeth and even broke a part of her nail.
“Your Majesty.” The maid entered from outside, whispering, “Mr. Liang is causing quite a scene now, insisting on going to Shangyuan Hall to seek the Emperor, asking him to stand up for him…”
“He also said something about preferring to shatter as jade rather than remain whole as pottery, claiming that he’s pure and chaste. He can’t don this undeserved reputation for no reason. He must vindicate himself…”
The Empress’s face turned darker than before, and rage nearly spat from her eyes.
But on recalling Mrs. Liang’s words just now, the rage swiftly diminished, leaving only boundless despair.
“Just tell him, he will get his wish.” The Empress uttered a worn-out reply.
The maid clearly understood the Empress’s words. Her expression subtly changed, but she merely responded with an affirmation before hastily leaving.
The Empress lingered in the hall for a while, and not until her mood had subsided, leaving no trace of unusualness on her face, did she leave for the banquet.
She continued to merrily interact with the guests, exchanging greetings, discussing family affairs – as if nothing had ever happened.
Only when the sun set in the west and the guests started to leave did the Empress hastily head to Princess An Le’s residence.
“Mother.” Princess An Le, who hadn’t applied any makeup and was dressed in simple clothes, rushed into the Empress’s arms. Her eyes were already swollen like apricots, “Mother, is the lecher already killed?”
The Empress bit her lower lip and didn’t answer this question, but instead asked, “Have you had dinner?”
“Mother!” Princess An Le, seeing the Empress’s reaction, immediately suspected something. Her face changed drastically as she struggled out of the Empress’s arms, “Does Mother intend for me to marry Liang Xuelin?”
“An Le.” The Empress grandly addressed, “Your mother knows of your proud nature. You look down on people like Liang Xuelin. I am not willing to let you endure this either. I would prefer to arrange a more suitable match for you. But this matter…”
“Your mother has no other choice.”
As the Empress spoke, a haze of moisture started forming in her eyes.
“If Mother wants me to marry Liang Xuelin, then I’d rather die. Is Mother preparing to force her own child to death?” Princess An Le, her eyes still swollen, roared back in anger.
“An Le!” Seeing how Princess An Le wasn’t listening to her explanations at all, and saw her own matters as all-encompassing, a touch of annoyance flared in the Empress’s heart, and she scolded, “You have no choice but to stop with this outrageous tantrum.”
“If you continue like this, it won’t be just you – even your royal brother and your mother will have nowhere to be safely buried!”
The Empress had always been indulgent towards Princess An Le, catering to her every whim. She had never reprimanded her like this before, especially not with such words…
