First annul the engagement, then sever ties with the empress; the empress reigns supreme.

Su Li felt that she had been set up by Murong Yuan.

Since the full moon celebration, everyone she meets asks her when she will marry Murong Yuan.

This makes it seem as if she truly abandoned Murong Yuan after initially being smitten.

It was clearly Murong Yuan who laid a hand on her and kicked her.

They then returned to the ship.

Murong Yuan didn't suffer a loss that time either; he was evenly matched with her.

She slept with him, but didn't he sleep with her?

Su Li was in a restless mood.

She had just finished breakfast when Ning Hanshuang sent someone to call her over.

As soon as I stepped inside, I saw Ning Hanshuang standing with several embroiderers.

Her mother held the bright red wedding dress in her hands, studying the stitches and patterns on it, and instructing the embroiderer on how to make alterations.

Su Li suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and the foot that was originally stepping forward took a step back.

My mother only has two daughters. My older sister has already had children. If this wedding dress wasn't prepared for her, then who was it prepared for?

Even her mother has started pressuring her to get married.

"stop."

Ning Hanshuang, with her sharp eyes, spotted Su Li trying to slip away and promptly stopped her.

Su Li stopped in her tracks, then playfully feigned ignorance, saying, "Mother, my stomach hurts, and I need to go to the toilet."

Ning Hanshuang smiled and put down the bridal gown she was holding. She walked towards Su Li step by step. When she reached Su Li, she smiled and reached out to grab Su Li's ear.

"Going to the toilet? Are you going to say you're going to have breakfast later?"

The mother and daughter opened their hearts to each other, there were no more secrets, and the knot in their hearts was untied. Now, Ning Hanshuang and Su Li no longer feel awkward with each other.

Su Li has an eccentric appearance but a sensitive heart. The kind of relationship she needs is like this, full of playful bickering.

Physical contact enhances intimacy.

With her ear being pulled, Su Li could only relieve the pain by standing on tiptoe.

She cried out dramatically, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, Mother, please be gentle. If you won't let me go to the toilet, then I won't go."

Ning Hanshuang smiled and released her grip only after hearing Su Li beg for mercy.

Her second daughter's marriage was a source of great anxiety for her.

She owed her second daughter too much in the past, and now that someone really likes her, she will definitely help them out.

We hope to help our second daughter break free from her constraints and resolve her inner conflicts as soon as possible.

Su Li was pressed down by Ning Hanshuang to try on the bridal gown. The bridal gown fit perfectly, and the pattern and stitching were excellent. There is probably no young girl who hasn't fantasized about what she would look like in a bridal gown.

Su Li was initially reluctant to get married, but after wearing the wedding dress, she began to waver.

Ning Hanshuang did whatever she wanted to her, and she felt as light as if she were walking on cotton.

After trying on the clothes, Ning Hanshuang helped her take them off and arranged the alteration schedule with the embroiderer, as well as when needed.

Su Li felt as if she had fallen from the clouds and landed on solid ground.

She tugged at her mother's sleeve: "Mother, please say it again, when is the wedding dress needed? When is your daughter, me, getting married?"

Ning Hanshuang tapped Su Li's head: "Of course it's the 18th of next month. I've already discussed it with A Yuan."

Su Li felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She pointed at herself and said, "Mother, you must be mistaken. I'm getting married, the date is already set, and I didn't know? Do you even consider me a human being?"

Ning Hanshuang chuckled twice and rolled her eyes at Su Li: "I wanted to treat you like a human being, but you just didn't want to. You took advantage of A Yuan and don't want to take responsibility. If this marriage doesn't work out, my back will be stabbed to pieces."

“A Yuan has also agreed. He has no parents, and after you get married, he will move directly into the Ningyuan Marquis’s residence.”

Su Li felt her head was about to collapse. He had even planned where they would live after getting married. What chance did she have?

Su Li clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, determined to settle accounts with Murong Yuan.

She stormed out of Ning Hanshuang's house in a huff, but regretted it when she arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Murong Yuan walking out of the residence.

She said that she moved very quickly at that time, almost sprinting at 100 meters per second, and hid behind the huge stone lion.

She originally planned to wait until Murong Yuan left before leaving herself, but she didn't expect to see Jiao Niang coming to find Murong Yuan.

Jiao Niang is now working in the Imperial Hospital, dressed in a snow-white medical uniform, looking more like a pure and innocent white lotus, untouched by the world.

Murong Yuan stopped in front of Jiao Niang and asked calmly, "You're not on duty at the Imperial Hospital today. What brings you here?"

Jiao Niang glanced at Murong Yuan, and when she looked away, her cheeks were already flushed.

She shyly twisted the corner of her sleeve: "Young Master Murong, do you really want to marry Su Li? Although Su Li did not want to be by Qing Yanzi's side before, she still hurt you a lot. Although she has now recognized the Empress, she is still wild and untamed."

At this point, Jiao Niang bit her lip, as if she had mustered up her courage to continue.

“I’m not trying to say anything bad about her, but I’m afraid of hurting you… You know, I love you, from the first moment I saved you, I loved you…”

Before Jiao Niang could finish speaking, a hint of impatience flashed in Murong Yuan's eyes. Almost without warning, he grabbed Jiao Niang's neck tightly.

Murong Yuan said coldly, "Was it because I treated you well before that you dared to slander my lover in front of me? If you dare to say a word about loving me in front of me again, I will tear you to pieces."

"You may not know, but while the young lady is untamed, I am even more untamed."

With that, he casually flung the beautiful woman away.

The young woman fell to the ground without any resistance, clutching her neck and coughing with difficulty, yet deep down she felt a sense of resentment.

She raised her head and questioned, "Young Master Murong, do you want to kill me? I am your savior."

Murong Yuan strode past Jiao Niang and coldly uttered, "Even if you are my parents, if you dare to slander Su Li, I will kill you without hesitation. If you don't believe me, try me."

Murong Yuan's threats were like tangible knives, each one aimed at Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang was genuinely frightened, and she scooted back on the ground.

Murong Yuan saw that Jiao Niang was truly frightened before he walked towards the street ahead.

When Su Li saw Murong Yuan protecting her again, the high wall that had been built in her heart and was about to collapse finally crumbled with a bang.

In fact, she had already decided to accept Murong Yuan when she came to the manor, but she became afraid when she got here.

Murong Yuan's words of protecting her at all costs gave her courage.

Su Li finally rushed out from behind the stone lion and called out to Murong Yuan's back, "Murong Yuan."

You can hear your lover's voice even if you are thousands of miles away.

Murong Yuan paused, turned around, and when he confirmed that it was indeed Su Li, he began to feel afraid again.

He stood still, staring at Su Li pitifully: "Su Li, everyone in the capital knows that I have something to do with you. If you don't take responsibility for me, I'll jump into the river."

Su Li suddenly laughed.

This man, who was threatening to kill her just a moment ago, is now telling her he wants to commit suicide.

She really is a two-faced person with a dual personality, but isn't that just a coincidence? That's exactly what she is.

Su Li walked towards Murong Yuan step by step, and after landing, she stretched out a finger and lightly lifted Murong Yuan's chin: "Okay, I'll take responsibility. Come on, let's go back to the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion to get married."
