His words were light, yet it made people unable to get angry.

Emperor An suppressed his emotions and looked at Su Lincheng indifferently, ”Have you brought the marriage certificate?”

”I've brought it back to the Emperor.”

”Since Su Li wants to rescind the engagement, we shall grant her that wish.”

Su Lincheng immediately took out the marriage contract and handed it over to Eunuch Chen, then sent it to the royal palace.

Following that, Su Li happily pressed his finger on the letter to cancel the engagement, and he finally cut off the two words, Crown Prince's Wife.

Su Qianyue could not restrain the joy in her eyes as she peeked at the crown prince bashfully.

The crown prince was finally hers. In the future, she would stand by his side and become a person worthy of admiration by tens of thousands.

”Is this Third Young Miss Su Qianyue?” The empress looked at Su Qianyue and spoke again, ”Regarding matters outside the General's Mansion, I have heard. Since Xuan'er and you have developed a physical relationship, I shall make the decision …”

”Imperial Mother, this son and third young miss were truly unlucky.” Mo Lianxuan anxiously tried to explain.

The empress cast a sidelong glance at her son. ”The news has already spread. You're the crown prince, how can you treat a woman's reputation as nothing?”

Mo Lianxuan felt terrible as if he had swallowed a fly. The person he had always been in love with was Su Qianyan …

”Looking at how dignified and virtuous the Third Miss is, and her proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is indeed the best candidate to be the Crown Prince's Wife.”

Emperor An pondered for a moment, intending to give the two of them a marriage decree.

”father, mother, this son has already decided on a person. He is General's Mansion's second young miss, Su Qianyan.”

As soon as Mo Lianxuan said this, it instantly caused quite a stir.

The ones who were the most shocked were Su Lincheng and Su Qianyue. The crown prince meant Su Qianyan, but they did not even hear the slightest bit about it.

”Qianyan is the eldest. If she wants to marry, I'll let her marry first.” Mo Lianxuan could not care about anything else, no matter how many rooms there were in the crown prince's mansion, he only wanted Su Qianyan to be the Crown Prince's Wife!

”Your majesty.” Su Lincheng regained his senses, and immediately cupped his hands and bowed, ”Actually, Qianyan is not your daughter, she is your elder brother's orphan.”

Su Li raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was amiss, but at the same time, he understood what Su Qianyan was thinking.

She should have known of her identity long ago, not letting the crown prince show his admiration for her. She wanted to wait for the original owner and Su Qianyue to fight to the end, then reap the rewards.

”Even if Qianyan is not the first daughter of General's Mansion, she is still the adopted daughter that General Su has raised for many years.

The moment Mo Lianxuan said this, she clenched her teeth, as if that was the only way to maintain her expression, but the hatred in her eyes could not be hidden.

Emperor An's face darkened. To be refuted by the crown prince in front of everyone, if he were to follow the crown prince's wishes, wouldn't the emperor himself be trampled on?

”Eunuch Chen, immediately issue an order, to give General's Mansion's third young miss, Su Qianyue, a name...”

”father …” Mo Lianxuan kneeled down.

The empress's eyes grew dark as she hastened to speak, ”Now that the Imperial Advisor has returned to the capital, why don't we send the two young misses' birthdays to the Imperial Advisor for a test?”

The empress's words were wise. The Imperial Advisor was a member of the Emperor An, which young miss would be the first wife?

Sure enough, the matter of the marriage was left unsettled.

Su Li laughed on the inside. When the results of the calculation were out, the big show in General's Mansion would probably happen again and again.

In the end, the Emperor An left the crown prince and Su Lincheng behind.

Su Li and Su Qianyue were led out of the palace by a eunuch.

Before they walked very far, Su Li suddenly stopped in his tracks and shouted loudly, ”Aiya, how could I have forgotten about that?”
