Chapter 360 Egg Tart and Sandwich (3)_1
Zhao Yang and Rui Zhu were close friends since childhood, akin to what we call besties in modern language. They had similar personalities and shared the same interests, having been inseparable since they were kids.
From a young age, Zhao Yang knew about Rui Zhu’s feelings for her older brother. She herself was eagerly hoping for this union to happen. Not only would it make her and Rui Zhu sisters-in-law, the Li Family also stood to benefit from her brother’s future prospects.
Such a perfect arrangement, which many people desperately sought for yet could not secure. It was just her stubborn elder brother who refused to comply. He kept stumbling over the same issue - all because of that wily country girl. Her brother was usually good at grasping opportunities, if he was not blinded by that girl, he would certainly have wedded Rui Zhu without hesitation. Empress Mo wouldn’t be so angry and anxious, and she wouldn’t be all worked up too!
Having heard Princess Zhao Yang’s suggestion, Empress Mo let out a cold, derisive laugh.
"How I wish to marry her in and keep her under my watchful eyes to prevent any mischief. Unfortunately, she’s ambitious, insisting on being the legal wife and barring her husband from keeping concubines. Such demands, let alone in our imperial family, would never be accepted in any ordinary wealthy family."
"Since ancient times, men having several wives and concubines is only natural. Even the emperors’ sons-in-law have some. Who is she to disallow it?"
Upon hearing of Cai Wei’s outrageous demands, Zhao Yang grew furious. Her anger escalated as she spoke, eventually leading to a reckless outburst.
