Chapter 780: 325 Refusing a Marriage Proposal Turmoil (Part 1)_3
Princess Wanhe seemed to not hear Mingzhu’s words and still asked aggressively, "Why refuse the marriage?" She was determined to understand the reason.
Yueyao smiled and said, "Why does Princess Wanhe want to know the reason for my refusal?" Yueyao also started to wonder, could it be that Princess Wanhe was in love with Guan Jingshuo? Otherwise, Princess Wanhe would not have come to demand the reason.
Princess Wanhe’s face darkened as she said, "I naturally have my reasons for wanting to know."
Mingzhu was furious and just about to rebuke Princess Wanhe when Yueyao pressed her hand down. Yueyao smiled and said, "Since the princess wishes to know, it won’t harm to tell you. The reason why Marquis Yongding’s household proposed was not because the Heir to Marquis Yongding admires me, but because I saved the Heir’s life, and they wanted to repay the kindness with a marriage proposal."
Princess Wanhe was extremely surprised, "You saved the life of the Heir to Marquis Yongding? How did you save him?" Princess Wanhe did not believe Yueyao’s words. How could the Heir to Marquis Yongding possibly need Yueyao’s help.
Mingzhu scoffed, "Why should Yueyao tell you?"
Yueyao pulled Mingzhu away and said with some difficulty, "Princess Wanhe, this matter involves many people, so it is inconvenient for me to disclose it. Please forgive me."
Princess Wanhe still did not give up, staring at Yueyao she asked, "I must know how you saved the Heir to Marquis Yongding? But rest assured, I won’t tell anyone."
Yueyao fell silent.
Mingzhu’s anger surged, "Last time, to get back at Mu Qinglian, you used me to showcase Yueyao’s talents. Now you come knocking on the door asking Yueyao why she rejected Marquis Yongding’s marriage proposal. When will you ever stop? It’s Yueyao’s freedom to refuse a marriage proposal. Even if you are enamored with the Heir to Marquis Yongding, that’s your own matter."
Princess Wanhe looked at Mingzhu, rage roiling in her eyes.
Mingzhu stood tall with her chest puffed out, "Don’t think that just because you’re a Commandery Princess you can come here and bully Yueyao. I’m telling you, I..."
Yueyao forcefully pressed down on Mingzhu, preventing her from continuing.
Mingzhu then shook off Yueyao’s hand, glaring at Yueyao indignantly. Still, considering certain aspects, she said nothing more.
Yueyao apologized, "Princess, I’m truly sorry, this matter involves many people, and it’s really inconvenient for me to tell you."
Princess Wanhe paused.
Seeing this, Mingzhu said, "If there’s nothing else, please leave early! We don’t have space for your highness here!" Mingzhu’s words sounded as though she was the host.
Princess Wanhe is a person who deeply cares about face. She would never have acted so unreasonably had she not been overwhelmed by anger. Blushing with embarrassment, she left.
Angrily, Mingzhu said, "What are you so afraid of? I’m here to support you in everything! Let me tell you, with your temperament, you will surely be bullied terribly in the future."
In a soft voice, Yueyao said, "It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble." Since Princess Wanhe was so angry, there must be some insider information. Yueyao did not want to create more problems.
Mingzhu truly felt frustrated with Yueyao.
Yueyao looked at the few maids around her and said, "This matter must not be revealed by anyone. If anyone dares to reveal even one word, they will be severely punished."
Faced with Yueyao’s threat, Mingzhu said speechlessly, "Although I dislike her behavior, I’m not an idiot; there’s no benefit to me spreading this matter." If she tarnished Princess Wanhe’s reputation, she wouldn’t be able to escape the consequences.
Yueyao smiled and said, "It’s good that you understand the severity. Now, as a young miss, it’s okay to be a bit rash. But once you are married, you will need to be more restrained."
Mingzhu said unhappily, "You make it sound as if I’m an ignorant child. Don’t worry, I will manage just fine!" She knew the Niu Family’s situation like the back of her hand, so Mingzhu was not worried at all. As for the Noble Concubine, Mingzhu was not concerned in the slightest.
Seeing this, Yueyao said seriously, "You must not be careless about the affairs of the Inner Courtyard, especially since that woman has been in charge of it for so long, and all her people are there; you must not be negligent, or you will undoubtedly suffer a great loss." Yueyao was not worried that Mingzhu couldn’t handle that concubine, but she was concerned that Mingzhu’s carelessness would lead to future suffering.
Mingzhu nodded and said, "I’ll be careful, but you also need to brace yourself."
Mingzhu had never been overly concerned about her marriage, and now that she was about to be married, she was not worried about her life after marriage either. She was just worried about Yueyao.
Yueyao smiled and said, "Don’t worry about me; I’ll be fine!"
