Chapter 33: Why Did Su Yu Meddle in This (1)

Su Xingyan clenched his teeth and remained silent. The emperor was right— his Aunty was merciful this time.

He could not understand why his father condoned his aunt’s behavior. He knew that his father was the ruler, and he was just a minister. It would be impossible to persuade his father to stand on his side for the time being.

His hatred towards Han Jing grew deeper.

‘Why should I be dragged into this with an ugly and bossy woman like her?!’

Su Xingyan swore in his heart that if he could not break off the engagement, he would make her pay dearly for the humiliation that he experienced after they got married! There was nothing he could do. After their marriage, she would be right under his nose, and he would let her get a taste of humiliation!

The emperor waved his hand at Su Xingyan. “Alright, you should go back. I will take care of everything, don’t you worry about your Mother!”

“Yes,” Su Xingyan answered. He needed to know that his mother was doing alright. Thus, he went to his Mother’s palace to have a look. The servants said that she was called to Fengyi Palace.

Su Xingyan was not sure if Su Yaozheng left the palace. He went to the East Palace and informed the prince. The prince’s wife would find an opportunity to talk to the queen. He and the prince had a good relationship; the prince would lend a hand.

Sure enough, the prince agreed quickly. “Don’t worry about it. Since she is with the queen, she should be safe. The way your father condoned her is getting too much. You should go back. Don’t do anything rash now. Although aunt doesn’t interfere with matters in the royal court, many of the old ministers feared and respected her. If not, based on the way she behaved those days, who knows how many times she would have died.”

Su Xingyan nodded, but he was still unhappy.

The prince could read his thoughts. He tapped on his shoulder. “As for Han Jing—the hideous girl—If you are not happy about the arrangement, just leave her at home after you marry her. There’s nothing they can do about it, right? As powerful as Aunty is, she can’t control what you do in the bedroom. I will arrange for some beautiful girls to take care of you. Just don’t do anything rash for now.”

Su Xingyan felt better after listening to the prince’s advice. He would give Han Jing a taste of her own medicine eventually!

An orphan with an unknown origin was enjoying better treatment than the Nanyao Nation’s princes and princesses. Even a prince like himself had to accept and compromise with her unscrupulous behavior. Who did she think she was?

“Brother, usually the eleventh uncle doesn’t interfere with any of these, but he stood on Aunty’s side this time and tried to frame me in front of the emperor.” Su Xingyan could not understand why he did that.

Su Yu usually paid no attention to the royal matters. He was probably gay. He was almost 30 years old, with no wife nor children. He had kept many young men in his manor; it was not something a scheming person would do!

Not only that, he did not care about the throne. Even if he had his eyes on the throne, the people of Nanyao Nation would not accept a monarch with such preposterous conduct!

Since that was the case, why did he decide to interfere? Although it was not a royal court matter, it involved him, the prince, and Princess Yi Feng.
