The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

It happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned by what was happening.

Xing Jian's dangerous eyes flashed as he said in a deep and loud voice, "Princess, don't go too far!"

Su Yanhua stopped walking and looked deeply at Xing Jian's face.

She had known Xing Jian for many days, and at this moment she knew that Xing Jian...

Angry!

For whom?

Xu Qing?

Xu Qing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Master Xing!"

Xing Jian released his hand from Xu Qing's waist and moved away.

"Princess, since this is a friendly duel, you must not hurt anyone. This is Yunqin, not your Dayan. Naturally, this is not a place where you can do as you please."

Su Yanhua listened to Xing Jian's words and turned around, not wanting to look anymore.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on the bluish-white glazed dress, and her gaze moved.

The hem of this dress is exactly the same as the one worn by the man who left the peach blossom forest.

Yan Jinyao didn't seem to be affected at all. She admitted generously, "Ms. Su, I lost!"

I lost, not you won!

Su Yanhua knew the meaning of these two sentences very well.

Yan Jinyao's words resounded throughout the entire hall. The emperor was naturally very pleased. How could he not be happy after showing off his power in front of other countries?

He immediately said, "Su Yanhua, I really underestimated you. Not only did you win first place in the martial arts test, but you also made Feng Yang Yun Qin famous today. I owe you two favors. Tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Wanning sneered. Of course, she would marry Prince Mo. This was Su Yanhua's lifelong wish.

Su Ruoxi held the handkerchief and looked at Su Yanhua nervously, fearing that she would say something terrible.

Everyone also knew Su Yanhua's friendship with Prince Mo, and they would definitely take this opportunity to become part of Prince Mo as soon as possible.

Mo Cerong looked at Su Yanhua with a nervous expression.

Su Yanhua said without thinking, "Your Majesty, please cancel my engagement with Prince Mo—"

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

They are not hallucinating, are they?

Isn’t Su Yanhua crazy about Prince Mo? Why does she want to cancel the engagement?

Su Yanhua ignored the exclamations of the people below and continued, "Your Majesty, Prince Mo and I have no feelings for each other. Even if you force us together, we will only get tired of each other. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to cancel our engagement and let us marry separately in the future without interfering with each other's affairs?"

These words were extremely ruthless but they also saved face for the two of them. Some people who knew the inside story knew that Prince Mo liked Su Ruoxi. In terms of right or wrong, it was Prince Mo who had fallen in love with someone else. Su Yanhua did not say these things, which was considered to have saved face for Mo Cerong.

Among those who knew the inside story was the emperor. He knew exactly what his own brother was thinking and naturally knew that Su Yanhua was very painful in this relationship.

The emperor's expression was tangled, and he could only turn around and ask Mo Cerong: "Royal brother, what do you think?"

Mo Cerong stood up suddenly, knelt before the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has no intention of canceling the engagement."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!

Even Su Yanhua was shocked. She thought that Mo Cerong had been possessed by another body.

The emperor's pupils trembled, and I wonder what he was thinking?

Xing Jian's eyes turned cold. Great, there is a love rival now?

There was a hint of fierceness in Nalan Yanyu's eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

The one who couldn't accept it the most was of course Su Ruoxi. She stared blankly at the noble figure on the stage, her face pale, and she could hardly keep her balance. The maid beside her held her tightly to keep her steady.

Cui'er clicked her tongue: What is Prince Mo doing again?

Yan Jinyao and the little princess were drinking tea by themselves, not caring about anything else.

Chu Wuqi stared at the woman on the stage, his brows slightly furrowed.

Xie Wei drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and the sarcasm in his eyes increased instead of decreasing.

There was a moment of silence in the hall at this time. These things were too shocking. The first unexpected thing was that Su Yanhua asked to cancel the engagement on her own initiative. The second thing was that Prince Mo actually disagreed. But Prince Mo didn't like Su Yanhua, so why didn't he agree?

What exactly happened?

Could it be that Prince Mo changed his opinion of Su Yanhua during the martial arts test?

If this is the case, it makes sense. Before, Su Yanhua had no talent and was naturally not worthy of the brilliant Prince Mo. But now Su Yanhua surprised them greatly. She was a man of both civil and military talents, and she stole the limelight and won face for the emperor. She was also General Su's legitimate daughter. Who would dare to say that she was not worthy of Prince Mo?

Thinking of this, everyone nodded silently, and Su Yanhua's good days had finally arrived.

They thought so, but Su Yanhua was puzzled. The only thing that could be seen was that Su Yanhua's face became gloomy.

"Prince Mo, we are not in love with each other. Breaking off the engagement will only benefit us. Why don't you agree?"

If the emperor was not here, Su Yanhua would just want to stab him to vent her anger!

She really couldn't understand. Mo Cerong didn't like her and was in love with Su Ruoxi. Wouldn't it be good to break off the engagement with her and be with Su Ruoxi?

Mo Cerong looked at Su Yanhua, his black eyes filled with complex emotions, which seemed to stir up ripples and finally turned into calmness.

"This marriage was granted by my father. Although he has passed away, I still remember what he said when he granted the marriage. He wanted the Mo and Su families to be together forever and achieve great things together. I dare not forget it!" Mo Cerong said in a deep voice.

The emperor also knew that this marriage involved more than just a simple emotional entanglement between two people, but also involved the reputation and interest network of two families and even the entire court.

If the cancellation of the engagement is proposed lightly, it will probably cause an uproar, and all parties will be dragged into the storm. The consequences will be unimaginable!

This is something the late Emperor repeatedly emphasized on his deathbed! He knew full well that if the Mohists were to achieve their goal of unification, they would have to firmly consolidate the Su and Wang families. Unfortunately, the Wang family, utterly overwhelmed by their favor, became arrogant and utterly presumptuous! They dared to conceal and sell contraband salt from the Emperor, wantonly exploiting the people's wealth to satisfy their own selfish desires. Such crimes are simply unforgivable and unforgivable!

Now, the Wang family has paid a heavy price for their greed and arrogance, leaving only the Su family as a strong support for the Mohist school. Consider Su Bing, not only loyal to the Mohist school but also a master of martial arts, a man of both literary and martial skill, loyal and brave. Then there's Su Yanhua, a woman of exceptional talent, beauty, and artistic beauty, a rare and remarkable woman. Such an exceptional father and daughter undoubtedly play a pivotal role in the Mohist school. So, how could she easily break off her engagement with the Su family? To do so would be to destroy her own foundation and miss out on a promising path.
