BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39
She could see a trace of anticipation and urgency in Su Qian’s eyes.
This girl was actually looking forward to breaking off the engagement with her grandson?
After realizing this, the Empress Dowager was unhappy. “You want to cancel the engagement just because you want to? Su Qian, you dare to look down on my imperial grandson?”
Su Qian furrowed her brows and looked up to see the Empress Dowager glaring at her angrily. She couldn’t figure out what was going on.
The Empress Dowager’s meaning was obvious. She didn’t like her, the imperial grandson’s wife. Since this was the case, she took the initiative to cancel the engagement. Wasn’t this a good thing for the Empress Dowager? Shouldn’t she accept it with a smile?
Princess Xuehua became even more depressed. She was very anxious and could not help but interrupt, “Mother, why do you have to worry about such a small matter? Since Su Qian isn’t willing, why don’t we just forget about this marriage…”
“She’s not willing? Why shouldn’t she be willing! I’m telling you, no one can dump my grandson. This engagement can not be dissolved!” After the Empress Dowager said this, she put her hands on her waist and looked at Su Qian arrogantly as if saying, “My grandson is the best. If you don’t want to marry him, it means you don’t like my grandson.”
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Su Qian’s forehead, and she was filled with regret.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to mention this matter. Instead, she would have waited for the Empress Dowager to mention it and then follow along the way.
But how could she have imagined that the Empress Dowager would protect Xiao Yan to such an extent? She didn’t even want her to break off the engagement, for fear that her grandson would be wronged.
“No woman in this world can reject my grandson. Su Qian, in the future, only Xiao Yan can come to me to cancel the engagement. If you dare to have such thoughts again, I will punish you severely!” The Empress Dowager said arrogantly with a cold face.
Su Qian’s lips twitched, but she had no choice but to agree.
When Princess Xuehua saw this, her expression was as if she had been struck by lightning.
To think that she had said so many bad things about Su Qian before she arrived, all so that the Empress Dowager would think that Su Qian was a vixen who liked to seduce men. Who would have thought that all her efforts would go to waste? Now that the Empress Dowager was here, who would dare to casually mention canceling the engagement?
Princess Xuehua glared at Su Qian with hatred.
Even if she couldn’t call off the engagement, she was going to make sure Su Qian crawled her way out!
“Mother, I feel that what you said makes sense. Su Qian doesn’t know the rules and even wanted to reject Ninth Brother. However, this is not a big deal. She had been too casual these six years and had forgotten her duty as a woman. Mother, a woman should be virtuous. Even if it’s for Ninth Brother, you must think of a way to properly train her.” As soon as Princess Xuehua finished speaking, her bloodthirsty gaze swept across Su Qian’s face.
Su Qian also glanced at Princess Xuehua indifferently.
She could feel the enmity that Princess Xuehua had for her. It was not the kind of enmity that a senior would have for a junior, but the kind of jealousy that a woman would have for another woman.
Su Qian instantly understood why Princess Xuehua was acting this way. She thought of Xiao Yan and couldn’t help but curse at the man.
It was one thing for Xiao Yan to make Princess Xuehua fall for him, but he had also implicated her. This really made her angry!
When the Empress Dowager heard Princess Xuehua’s words, she nodded her head in agreement. Then, under her expectant gaze, she ordered, “Then punish Su Qian by making her copy the scriptures for four hours. Xuehua, take her down to copy the scriptures. After four hours, I want to read it personally.”
