Wanyun watched the mother and daughter weeping in each other's arms, her eyes filled with envy.
Shi Rou cried until her throat was hoarse. "Mother, Father is so shameless. You must not let Uncle spare him!"
Rong Ju said, "I never intended to spare him, but I was worried about you..."
Shi Rou replied, "You absolutely cannot let him go. He's ruined my marriage prospects."
Wanyun let out a soft laugh. "Why are you so worried about your future marriage? Your future aunt-in-law is Princess Huayang, your cousin is me, and your stepfather is the current Prime Minister. Suitors will be lining up at the door to ask for your hand.
Knowing Huayang's temperament, she might even go out and snatch a husband off the street for you!"
Feeling teased, Shi Rou huffed, "Marriage is a lifetime affair, of course I care! I don't believe you never cared about your own marriage prospects before you were betrothed."
