Su Yingxue’s eyes showed confusion, but she didn’t react as dramatically as Su Yurou. She obediently handed the tea to Su Dingheng.

Su Dingheng tasted the tea, finding it remarkably good. Considering that she had mentioned it was a gift from Consort Xiang, he believed she had put in great effort.

He felt relieved. “Yingxue, you are considerate. However, today, your Aunt Liu can’t have this tea.”

When he had gone to the Ministry of Rites earlier, not only had the documents not been approved, but Lin Qin had also given him a secret decree, almost frightening him to the point of not being able to leave the Ministry of Rites.

It turned out that before the old master had gone to the battlefield, he had discussed with the emperor. The emperor had left a secret decree at the Ministry of Rites, if he were to remarry or take another concubine, he would have to relinquish his title.

This was his father’s severe punishment for betraying Long Shuli.

To safeguard his title, he couldn’t grant Liu Shulan an official status.

Additionally, Lin Qin had reminded him that even though he had held a wedding, Liu Shulan couldn’t become an official concubine, and she mustn’t draw too much attention to herself in the Marquis’s Manor. If this information reached the emperor’s ears, it would be difficult to keep the secret decree hidden.

Liu Shulan’s face turned pale as she asked, “Marquis, why?”

Su Yurou erupted in anger, “Father! How can you do this? You married Mother just yesterday! The entire Jiang Capital Du City knows that Mother is your concubine, and now you… How can you break your promise?”

“What do you mean I broke my promise? Su Yurou, who gave you the audacity to defy your father!” Su Dingheng’s anger, simmering since before, erupted with Su Yurou’s provocation.

Seeing this, Su Yingxue quickly tried to mediate. “Father, please don’t be angry. Take care of your health. My younger sister is only worried about Aunt Liu’s status. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. I still have some influence in front of the emperor, and 1 might be able to help.”

Her eyes were sincere, and Su Dingheng was deeply moved. “All, Yingxue, you have become quite sensible recently. I am very pleased.”

“Father! You haven’t explained why Mother can’t become your concubine!”

Compared to Su Yingxue’s obedient and helpful demeanor, Su Yurou’s current tantrum made Su Dingheng resent her even more.

His brows knitted into a scowl as he pointed at Su Yurou. “If you continue to cause trouble, get out! Look at your sister and then look at yourself! If your sister has some face in front of the emperor, and if you have any, go beg your mother yourself!”

“I… Sob, sob, sob…” Su Yurou burst into tears from the scolding.

If she had any face in front of the emperor, she would have requested a marriage between herself and the Seventh Prince a long time ago!

Why wait until today?

“Marquis, it’s all my fault for not teaching Rou’er well. Please punish this servant!” Liu Shulan suddenly knelt in front of Su Dingheng.

Her delicate and gentle appearance was already moving enough, and now with tears in her eyes, she appeared even more fragile. It tugged at Su Dingheng’s heartstrings.

Su Yingxue couldn’t help but smile. Indeed, she was the woman who had pampered her father for many years. She was truly capable!

She was willing to swallow her pride and lower her status!

“Lan’er, what are you doing? Get up! Even if I can’t give you a status right now, there’s no need for you to call yourself a servant!” Su Dingheng quickly embraced her. Her addressing herself as a servant was breaking his heart.

“Marquis, this servant understands. Marquis must have encountered some difficulties, which is why things are this way. This servant won’t blame Marquis! However, the rules of the Marquis’s Manor are strict. If 1 don’t have an official status, 1 can only be a servant. 1 cannot violate the rules of the Marquis’s Manor and become a laughingstock if word gets out!” Liu Shulan asserted firmly..
