Cold-faced Empress

Mo Canglan was waiting for her to admit her mistake, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.

After a long standoff, Mo Canglan, unwilling to waste any more time with her, threw down a sentence and strode away, bypassing her obstruction.

"If you don't know what to explain, just keep taking it!"

Fu Siying, who had been staring intently at him, slowly turned around as he walked away. As Mo Canglan left her side, she subconsciously reached out to grab him, but could only touch a wisp of cool breeze from his sleeve.

Watching him disappear without looking back, Fu Siying lowered her eyes and stood quietly, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Just a moment ago I was full of anger, but now I feel strangely guilty and wronged.

If she doesn't explain things to him clearly, she will continue to suffer criticism from others.

His methods of dealing with her were always so cruel; he would either push her off a cliff or ruin her reputation.

Thinking of the cliff, Fu Siying's spirits lifted. She turned back to look at the location of Qingfang Gate, pondered for a long time, and finally gave up.

She had originally planned to ask Elder Linghu in person why Sun Dan and Sun Yi could turn their backs on her like that, but after seeing Hua Rao's fawning and flattering attitude towards Mo Canglan, she knew there was no need to ask any further.

Hua Rao, a woman whose words, actions, and clothing are all extremely frivolous and flamboyant, dared to yell at her, which shows that she was very confident.

Mo Canglan and Qingfangmen are clearly intricately connected. Whatever Mo Canglan wants Qingfangmen to do, she will never be met with their indifference. For her to question Old Man Linghu about why he sold her is undoubtedly asking for trouble.

With the time for the apprenticeship ceremony approaching, Fu Siying put on her veil and left the Qingfang Gate in the backyard, returning to the bustling and noisy Jinxiang Tower.

Although neither the Fu family nor Bai Qingyu announced that Rong Chen would become the disciple of Young Master Zhiyu, the fact that the ceremony was held at Jinxianglou attracted a large crowd in no time.

The Fu family has been in the eye of the storm lately. No one expected that even with the affairs of Miss Fu proving difficult to resolve, Prime Minister Fu would still have the audacity to find a teacher for his son, and to choose Master Zhiyu no less. Everyone knows that Master Zhiyu is highly praised by the Emperor, but disliked by Prince Mu.

“If the Fu family dares to find Young Master Zhiyu to be their teacher, do you think they really want to break ties with Prince Mu? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen the wrong person in such an important matter and displeased Prince Mu.”

"In my opinion, it's probably true. Don't forget, there's also Miss Xia threatening suicide. What will happen to Miss Xia if Prince Mu and Miss Fu's engagement doesn't change?"

Wearing a veiled hat, Fu Siying pushed her way to the front of the crowded throng. The more people watching the apprenticeship ceremony, the better, as it would strengthen the bond between master and apprentice.

Mrs. Li waited and waited, but her eldest daughter did not come. She waited and waited, but there was no sign of her. Finally, she caught a glimpse of her daughter standing in the crowd, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

As the steward of the Fu family announced the start of the apprenticeship ceremony, suddenly, two long rows of soldiers from the Yi Army rushed up from downstairs, startling the onlookers into scattering like birds and beasts.

Hearing the commotion behind her, Fu Siying turned around unhappily. Just as she was about to reprimand who was causing the disturbance, she saw the figure she had only parted ways with not long ago slowly approaching amidst the crowd's shock and fear.

Fu Siying nervously walked to her mother's side. She also noticed Bai Qingyu's deep and serious gaze, and his displeasure.

What is Mo Canglan trying to do by suddenly appearing?

The entire Jinxiang Tower fell silent.

Mo Canglan stopped three feet away from Fu Siying. He didn't say or do anything extra, but simply gestured with his chin towards Rong Chen's direction, towards the guard Fang Zhi.

After receiving the order, Fang Zhi immediately went to Fu Rongchen and whispered, "Young Master Fu, the Prince has summoned you to the Prince's residence for a talk."

Fu Rongchen was taken aback, and covered his face in confusion as he turned to look at Madam Li and Fu Siying. Of course, he had no idea what was going on or why Prince Mu would suddenly request to see him.

Let's discuss this in detail?

Fu Siying stepped forward and replied solemnly, "After he has performed the apprenticeship ceremony, we will go to pay our respects to Prince Mu."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhi chuckled softly and shook his head at Fu Siying: "Miss Fu, Young Master Fu, the Prince won't wait for anyone."

Having said that, she suddenly reached out and pressed down hard on Fu Rongchen's shoulder. Grabbing Fu Rongchen, she forcefully pushed and dragged him away from Jinxiang Tower.
