I returned to the royal residence, where my father and mother began to seriously select a suitable husband for me since I had not married in two years.
Upon hearing the news that the only daughter of the War King was seeking a husband, the noble families in the capital extended their olive branches to the royal residence. My mother ordered many portraits of young masters to be drawn for my selection.
As I glanced over those portraits, I spotted two familiar figures: Zhao Lingfeng and the eldest son of the Prime Minister's family, Su Chenyi.
I asked lightly, "Has Zhao Lingfeng married Su Wan'er as Crown Princess?"
My mother shook her head and sighed, "That girl Wan'er has only become a Consort."
I scoffed, "It truly is Zhao Lingfeng's style."
My mother frowned in displeasure and said, "Back when your father and I were selecting a husband for you, you insisted on marrying that Zhao Lingfeng. Now look at what has happened; he publicly called off the engagement and turned you into a laughingstock throughout the capital."
I lowered my gaze and did not argue. Indeed, I had once favored Zhao Lingfeng and believed he could bring me happiness. Little did I expect him to be an ungrateful scoundrel.
My father angrily declared, "Hmph! How dare he bully my daughter? I will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Father," I softly called out to him, pleading, "I want to handle this matter myself."
I intended to confront Zhao Lingfeng personally to reclaim my dignity. I instructed my mother to invite Su Chenyi and Zhao Lingfeng to our residence while I hid behind a screen to observe.
When Su Chenyi and Zhao Lingfeng met, their expressions turned sour.
Su Chenyi coldly remarked, "Your Highness, you just made Wan'er a Consort yesterday, yet today you come to propose to Wei Yang. What do you mean by this? Are you slapping our Prime Minister's Residence in the face?"
Zhao Lingfeng's expression grew even colder. "What does the Prime Minister mean by this? You just married Wan'er to me yesterday, yet today you send your eldest son to War King Manor to propose. Is the Prime Minister truly loyal?"
The two exchanged words of suspicion, on the verge of an argument. Just then, a maid stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, Mr.Liu, our young lady wishes to ask if you truly intend to marry her?"
The two of them nodded in response.
"Of course."
"I am truly sincere."
The maid nodded and continued, "My young lady said that her husband must be a lifelong partner. His Highness the Crown Prince just took in Consort yesterday, so it seems..."
"As for Mr.Liu, the Prime Minister already has a wife, so it’s likely..."
Before the maid could finish her sentence, Su Chenyi's expression brightened, and he quickly said, "It’s fine, I can wait."
Zhao Lingfeng became anxious and quickly replied, "I have no feelings for Su Wan'er. I will go back now and send her back to the Prime Minister's Residence. Wei Yang, believe me, I will only have you from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chenyi was immediately furious. "What do you take my sister for, Zhao Lingfeng! You want to marry her when you please and send her away when you want? What do you think our Prime Minister's Residence is?"
Zhao Lingfeng snorted coldly and disdainfully said, "I am the Crown Prince. I can marry whoever I want and send away whoever I want. Do you think you can control me?"
As they argued, they even started to fight.
I quickly had the maid send them away. Before they left, I instructed the maid to whisper in Zhao Lingfeng's ear, "Your Highness, our Princess wants to see your sincerity."
After hearing this, Zhao Lingfeng's expression brightened as he nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Wei Yang, I won't let you down."
That afternoon, Su Wan'er was sent back to the Prime Minister's Residence by Zhao Lingfeng on the grounds of misconduct.
I heard that the Prime Minister and his wife were furious, and the reputation of the Prime Minister's Residence was tarnished. They had no choice but to fully rely on War King Manor, sending Su Wan'er to the royal residence as compensation for me.
My mother said to treat her well for a day before sending her to me so that I could handle her as I wished.
I smiled; my mother was trying to find me a maid.
