Master Su did not explain. He merely gave her a meaningful glance before letting her go back.
The emperor only let Old Master Su go after he had stayed the night. The next morning, Old Master Su was returned to the Su family home.
However, Old Master Su’s expression was not very good. He rushed to the study room with a furious expression.
Su Yan looked at the study room that had been tightly shut for the entire morning. She stood at the door and waited anxiously.
Her grandfather called her father in as soon as he entered the study. Could it be that there had been some changes in that matter?
Thinking of this, Su Yan became even more anxious. She could not help but pace back and forth.
Suddenly, someone special came to the Su family’s door.
A servant ran over and reported to Su Yan, “Miss, someone from the palace has arrived. They say that they are here to read the imperial edict.”
“What?”
The study door behind Su Yan suddenly opened and Old Master Su’s voice was heard.
The family quickly welcomed the person in and said, “The imperial edict has arrived!”
Other than Su Yan, everyone in the Su family was stunned. According to the imperial edict, Su Yan was basically being married to the King of Guangping, and the wedding date was set to be three months later.
Su Yan, who had already been married once, quickly accepted it, but it was not easy for the others to accept it.
Especially Old Master Su, whose face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
“I, Su Yan, accept the imperial edict.”
Seeing that the members of the Su family were still not accepting the imperial edict, the eunuch’s expression had already changed. Su Yan did not care whether it was against the rules or not. She quickly stepped forward and accepted the imperial edict.
“It seems that there is still someone in the Su family who understands.” The eunuch who announced the imperial edict no longer had the smile he had when he came. He spoke with a strange expression.
After sending off the eunuch, Su Yan looked at the imperial edict in her hand. Her life had finally come.
“Su Yan, grandpa has let you down.” Old Master Su saw that Su Yan had received the imperial edict and could not say anything to reject it. He just wanted to make Su Yan feel like it’s all his fault.
“How can my Su Yan marry the King of Guangping? He is inhumane.” Madam Su also said anxiously. She did not care that Su Yan was still in front of her and said directly.
“The imperial family is worried about the Su family and the King of Guangping. The Su family only has one daughter, and the King of Guangping is inhumane. The emperor wants to pair them up so that the Su family and the King of Guangping will have no descendants.”
The Emperor had already talked to Old Master Su about this matter for the entire day yesterday. Old Master Su had not relented, so the emperor asked Old Master Su to come back and consider it.
Who would have thought that the imperial edict would arrive just as soon as he arrived home? The emperor did not give the Su family any chance at all.
“Grandpa, I’m willing to marry.” Seeing that the three people in front of her were getting heavier and heavier, as if her life was over, Su Yan hurriedly spoke.
Su Yan did not force herself at all. However, in the eyes of the three people, she was forcing a smile.
“I’m telling the truth. I’ve met the King of Guangping before. He even saved me when I was young. Gu Ruoyun is a very good person.”
Su Yan could only tell them that King Guangping had saved her. She pretended to be a hero who had saved the damsel in distress and offered herself to him.
This excuse was quite useful. She could use it once in King Guangping’s manor and once at her parents’place. Su Yan secretly smiled.
Madam Su was still a little worried as she did not expect such a story between Su Yan and the King of Guangping.
“Su Yan, have you seen the King of Guangping recently? He has changed his temperament since he injured his body a few years ago.”
At this moment, Madam Su remembered that it was not good to directly say that she could not be humane in front of Su Yan, so she changed her euphemism.
If it was the King of Guangping in the past, Madam Su would have supported him with both hands and feet. But now, putting aside whether he could be humane, she could not accept the fact that he had a violent temper.
She did not know if her precious daughter’s small body could withstand even a punch from the King of Guangping.
