But in everyday life, every aspect of treatment has never been lacking for Lu Ying, and his prohibition was lifted as soon as he went on campaign, so the noblemanâs daughter believes that neither the Marquisâs Manor nor brother Su Hao has ever wronged Lu Ying.â
Su Han walked in front of Lu Ying, looking down at her with dignity and seriousness, âInstead, it is you, Lu Ying, as the wife of a young general and a daughter-in-law of the Marquisâs Manor, who has never been prudent and a role model for the Manor. Instead, youâre crying and causing a scene in front of the emperor and the empress, do you want to disgrace the Marquisâs Manor, or do you want to disgrace Su Hao?â
Su Hanâs every word was sharp as a knife, stabbing into Lu Yingâs heart.
Lu Ying, full of grievances, âWhen did I ever want to disgrace him?â
âHow did you marry into the Marquisâs Manor, have you forgotten? How much more do you want to disgrace your brother?â
Su Yingxue stood up angrily, she would never allow a person like Lu Ying to cause trouble in the Marquis of Martial Southâs Manor, but as the matter was already settled, with considerations from Chu Yihan and Su Hao, she didnât intervene much.
Now that Lu Ying was playing the victim in front of her, she couldnât stand it.
Lu Ying, of course, wouldnât tolerate it either, âThe empress doesnât need to be so angry. Compared to Wu Jinyan, I am still more suitable for my husband, at least I didnât marry my husband carrying another manâs bastard, bringing him shame!â
âShut your mouth, did I ask you to speak of Sister Jinyan!â
Su Yingxue was so angry that she wanted to kick her.
Chu Yihan held her from behind, a whirl of anxiety rising within him, âBe careful of the child!â
âI canât stand it!â
Su Yingxue pouted, whispering in his ear.
âSit down.â
Chu Yihan helped her to sit back down and glanced at Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi immediately put on a stern face, âLu Ying, since you have married into the Marquisâs Manor, you are a master of the Manor. You should know to maintain the Manorâs dignity. In front of the emperor, what kind of behavior is it to cry and wail!â
âGrandfather, it wasnât my intention to make a scene, but I was confined within the courtyard, and couldnât even go see off my husband. I can still catch up to them now and see both him and my father. Please allow it,â Lu Ying pleaded calmly, not daring to be presumptuous in front of Su Qing.
Su Qingzhi, however, rebuked her angrily, âDo you think they are going on a sightseeing trip? That you can still chase after them now for a meeting? Itâs utterly childish! If you are sensible, you should stay properly in the Manor and wait for their victorious return to celebrate for them!â
âBut canât I even wish to see my husband once?â
Lu Ying felt a stifling pressure in her chest, feeling like a bird trapped in a cage at the Marquisâs Manor.
âIf your brother wanted to see you, why would he have someone guard you, only to let you out after he has left for the campaign? He clearly doesnât want to see you and doesnât want to be disturbed by you! âSister-in-law,â arenât you a daughter of a military family? How do you not understand this!â
The way Su Yingxue called âsister-in-lawâ was particularly sarcastic.
A shadow flickered in the depths of Lu Yingâs eyes, âThe empress now stays by the emperorâs side and need not be separated from her husband with worry day and night, of course, you cannot understand my longing, after all, it is my husband who has gone to war!â
âSince you know your husband has gone on a military campaign for the country, you should be even more aware of the bigger picture and maintain proper decorum,â Chu Yihan said, his voice carrying overwhelming pressure, like mountains and seas bearing down, making Lu Ying appear like a fool.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If it had been someone else, Lu Ying could have argued back, even if it were a reprimand from Su Qingzhi.
But the person scolding her was Chu Yihan, the supreme emperor, whose words no one dared to refute, and whatever he said was always reasonable.
