Chapter 1897: Chapter 1899: I Swear Not to Utter a Single Word About Today’s Events
Indeed, the Noble Princess Concubine has issued a decree regarding this matter. For such an incident to occur now, isn’t it a slap to her face?
However, this is a concern for the Li Family, not something Yang Chuxia needs to consider.
"Luo Linhao will definitely not marry Li Susu!" Yang Chuxia said simply, "I will go to the palace with Linhao right now and report this matter to the Emperor and Her Highness the Noble Princess Consort! As for what you want to do, that’s your business."
At this point, Yang Chuxia glanced at the ladies present, fearing that they either didn’t understand or were pretending ignorance earlier. She reiterated, "Not only you all heard Miss Li and Young Master Wang’s mutual confession, but your maids also heard it. I hope when facing the Emperor and Her Highness the Noble Princess Consort, you all tell the truth, or else, the ones you’ll offend will be the third branch of the Luo Family, Prince An’s Mansion, and Prince Zhuang’s Mansion! Before speaking up, you must consider whether your family can bear the consequences."
After addressing them, Yang Chuxia looked at Madam Li and Old Master Li, "I originally thought Young Master Wang and Miss Li were quite a match. If you would have arranged their marriage, what happened today would just be a loss for Linhao to grant them a complete union, allowing them to live a normal life without gossip. We wouldn’t speak of today’s events, preserving the Li Family’s reputation. As for the Noble Princess Concubine, given the Li Family’s ties with her, as long as things are clarified, she would surely not hold it against you. But if you are ungrateful and still try to blame Linhao?"
"I really must be idle to be wasting words with you all; I should have gone straight to the Emperor."
Without giving the Li Family members a chance to speak, Yang Chuxia left with Luo Linhao.
However, just reaching the front courtyard, Young Master Li appeared.
"Madam Ye, Commander Luo, please wait!"
"Young Master Li has something to say?" Yang Chuxia always felt this profligate was not as profligate as he seemed, but such people often had the deepest thoughts.
"My sister is too frail to serve Commander Luo. Later, I will implore Prince Ping to explain everything clearly to Her Highness the Noble Princess Consort, but for today’s incident, I ask Madam Ye to be merciful and spare my sister’s face."
"Indeed, there are sensible people in the Li Residence." Yang Chuxia chuckled, "Young Master Li, rest assured. If my conditions are met, I will not utter a word about today’s incident, and I sincerely wish Miss Li and Young Master Wang a lifetime of happiness together."
"Madam Ye, there is still one matter I don’t understand," Young Master Li said, stopping her just as she was about to board the carriage.
"What matter?"
"Since Madam Ye knows I am reasonable, why insist on opposing my marriage to Miss Luo?" This matter left Young Master Li discontented and aggrieved, though he also had no desire to marry someone from the Luo Family. Distinctly, not wanting to marry is different from not wanting to be married to.
"Young Master Li, since you are a reasonable person, you should know that if paths are different, one should not work together!" Yang Chuxia replied with a smile, "Forcing two incompatible people together harms both parties. Moreover, there aren’t many understanding people in the Li Residence, nor many who wish to be understood. In my view, it seems Young Master Li doesn’t want to be understood. If a person doesn’t even understand their own partner, what a frightening thing that is, don’t you think?"
"Madam Ye speaks wisely!" Young Master Li acknowledged her words.
"Farewell!"
Upon leaving the residence, Luo Linhao asked, "I don’t need to go to the palace anymore, do I, Cousin-in-law?"
"Let’s wait. The Li Family will handle this matter."
"Why do I feel Young Master Li is not quite as rumored?" Luo Linhao remarked once more.
