No deep animosity? After hearing her grandfather’s words, Zi You’s body stiffened. Her heart pained and she almost started swearing.

She endured and endured for a very long time before she could smile innocently and naively at Old General Mu. “What were you thinking, grandfather? You’er feels that it’s better for girls to be more reserved. If we show up, Duke Yongnan would feel that there’s something going on with You’er and the imperial family. Besides, what’s wrong with it? You’er said that things depend on Shizi. If he changes his habits, he’s considered a good man. If so, then You’er will go through with the marriage.”

Old General Mu thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement with a smile. “You are my good granddaughter. Your words make sense. We’ll do it like this then.”

Old General Mu quickly agreed and asked about Zi You’s martial arts progress.

Zi You answered his questions one by one. Then she left Old General Mu’s study and returned to Hundred Herb Garden.

Once there, Zi You’s smile immediately disappeared, leaving behind a sinister coldness.

You dare to scheme about me? Fine. Whether it’s the previous life’s enemy or this life’s b*stards, I’ll take care of all you together.

But what about Shangguan LingRan? What did he mean? Was he trying to stop the Emperor from bestowing a marriage or was he trying to test the Emperor’s bottom line? Or did he really like her?

Zi You touched her petal-like lips and coldly smiled. Whoever you are, the door to my heart will not open for any man in this lifetime.

As if he knew that Zi You was thinking about him, Shangguan LingRan came over, as she was practicing in Hundred Herb Garden.
