I lifted my foot and walked away. Zhao Lingfeng stood there, his face turning pale with anger. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Hua Weiyang, you will regret this!"
I didn't look back; I simply curled the corner of my mouth into a calm smile, one that concealed an unknown resilience and confidence.
Behind me, the guests began to whisper among themselves, discussing fervently.
"This Crown Princess really doesn't know what's good for her. The Crown Prince marrying her is already a blessing she earned in her past life, yet she dares to obstruct him from taking concubines?"
"Indeed, I heard that Crown Princess was originally a merchant woman. She must have been attracted to the Crown Prince's status and did everything she could to marry him. Now she even dares to wish to monopolize him; how greedy!"
"With such jealousy, how can she be fit to be the mother of the nation? The Crown Prince is right to act as he has!"
Standing next to Su Wan'er, the Prime Minister's Wife looked particularly furious. She glared at my back and spat, "Hua Weiyang, you have no virtue as a woman!"
I ignored everyone.
The moment I stepped out of the Crown Prince's residence, a luxurious carriage blocked my path.
The coachman smiled at me and said, "Miss, the prince and princess have been waiting for you for two years. Now that the two-year period has ended, the prince sent me to bring you back."
"Miss, please get in the carriage."
I smiled lightly and replied, "You can go back and tell my father and mother that Wei Yang has matters to attend to and will return by herself tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss."
Two years ago, my father and mother chose a husband for me. At that time, I was solely focused on doing business and agreed with my father on a two-year period. If I couldn't find a husband myself, then my father would decide for me.
Unexpectedly, I ended up choosing Zhao Lingfeng after all. But I never anticipated that he would betray me so quickly.
When I returned home, I changed out of my phoenix crown and ceremonial robes into casual clothes, preparing to inspect my restaurant and shop.
To my surprise, the shopkeeper and servants came forward to bid me farewell.
"Miss, your engagement with the Crown Prince has caused quite a stir. Now that you have rejected him, we are worried that being associated with you may bring misfortune."
"Miss, we have decided to seek other opportunities; please understand."
I understand their concerns and will not force them to stay; I will let them go free. However, as I walked out of the shop, I saw Manager Qian standing at the entrance, trying to entice my employees.
"The Crown Prince said that as long as you are willing, he is willing to take you in."
"If you want to stay, he will still offer you positions."
Manager Qian said this while flashing me a smug smile.
"Hua Weiyang, the Crown Prince asked me to convey a message to you: if you are willing to admit your mistake, he will still give you the position of Consort."
I coldly spat out two words: "Get lost."
Manager Qian sneered, "Hua Weiyang, the Crown Prince is willing to give you a chance; that is your fortune. Don't be ungrateful."
"Ha..."
I chuckled lightly, filled with disdain.
Manager Qian thought I was just a woman and thus incapable of running a business successfully. But what he didn't know was that when I was by Zhao Lingfeng's side, I strategized for him and helped him gain the Emperor's trust.
Now that he had finally ascended to the position of Crown Prince, he did not know how to cherish it. He foolishly believed that by poaching my staff, he could ensure his business thrived.
How utterly stupid!
He did not understand that in business, what matters most is not these people but me. I could elevate him to the position of Crown Prince or make him fall from grace. Zhao Lingfeng's dream of becoming Emperor was destined to shatter.
