Chapter 1409 - 1416 Mutual Affection (2)
"Yes, junior obeys the order!"
Facing Wu Shiji’s suggestion, Wanyan Jingchen and Mo Zili dared not dissent and obediently agreed, then quietly exited.
No sooner had they left than Madam Wu hurriedly came out from behind the screen, anxiously asking, "Marquis, what do you think about this matter?"
The Marquis of Jian’an shook his head with difficulty and said, "To ordinary people, what great fortune it would be to marry the Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom? That Prince His Highness is handsome, valiant, and exudes an extraordinary aura. Most importantly, he truly cares for Our Yun’er."
"However... Our Yun’er is too naive, and I fear that she might be schemed against or bullied in the future. Being so far away, We would be unable to help her. This indeed makes me feel very conflicted."
Madam Wu felt the same way. She knew her own daughter; although marrying Wanyan Jingchen as the Prince’s Consort would bring glory to the Mansion of Marquis Jian’an, Xiang Yun was not cut out to be an Empress at all. Even if she were to forcibly assume the role, her temperament would likely cause trouble eventually. Thus, even though Madam Wu also liked Wanyan Jingchen, she was reluctant to send her daughter to Qing Luo Kingdom.
The Marquis of Jian’an said, "This is a significant matter, concerning Yun’er’s lifelong happiness. Let’s not make decisions on our own right now. It would be better to ask her and hear her opinion."
Upon hearing this, Madam Wu nodded and said, "Old Master speaks wisely. The last time, we arranged the marriage for her and it almost cost the child half her life. This time, we must definitely listen to the child’s wishes. If she agrees, we will do our best to fulfill it for her. If she disagrees, even at the risk of offending The Emperor, we must not consent!"
"Uh-huh, that’s what I think too."
