Chapter 1047: Chapter 1045: Receiving the Emperor’s Lecture
But in everyday life, every aspect of treatment has never been lacking for Lu Ying, and his prohibition was lifted as soon as he went on campaign, so the nobleman’s daughter believes that neither the Marquis’s Manor nor brother Su Hao has ever wronged Lu Ying.”
Su Han walked in front of Lu Ying, looking down at her with dignity and seriousness, “Instead, it is you, Lu Ying, as the wife of a young general and a daughter-in-law of the Marquis’s Manor, who has never been prudent and a role model for the Manor. Instead, you’re crying and causing a scene in front of the emperor and the empress, do you want to disgrace the Marquis’s Manor, or do you want to disgrace Su Hao?”
Su Han’s every word was sharp as a knife, stabbing into Lu Ying’s heart.
Lu Ying, full of grievances, “When did I ever want to disgrace him?”
“How did you marry into the Marquis’s Manor, have you forgotten? How much more do you want to disgrace your brother?”
Su Yingxue stood up angrily, she would never allow a person like Lu Ying to cause trouble in the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, but as the matter was already settled, with considerations from Chu Yihan and Su Hao, she didn’t intervene much.
Now that Lu Ying was playing the victim in front of her, she couldn’t stand it.
Lu Ying, of course, wouldn’t tolerate it either, “The empress doesn’t need to be so angry. Compared to Wu Jinyan, I am still more suitable for my husband, at least I didn’t marry my husband carrying another man’s bastard, bringing him shame!”
“Shut your mouth, did I ask you to speak of Sister Jinyan!”
Su Yingxue was so angry that she wanted to kick her.
Chu Yihan held her from behind, a whirl of anxiety rising within him, “Be careful of the child!”
“I can’t stand it!”
Su Yingxue pouted, whispering in his ear.
“Sit down.”
Chu Yihan helped her to sit back down and glanced at Su Qingzhi.
Su Qingzhi immediately put on a stern face, “Lu Ying, since you have married into the Marquis’s Manor, you are a master of the Manor. You should know to maintain the Manor’s dignity. In front of the emperor, what kind of behavior is it to cry and wail!”
“Grandfather, it wasn’t my intention to make a scene, but I was confined within the courtyard, and couldn’t even go see off my husband. I can still catch up to them now and see both him and my father. Please allow it,” Lu Ying pleaded calmly, not daring to be presumptuous in front of Su Qing.
Su Qingzhi, however, rebuked her angrily, “Do you think they are going on a sightseeing trip? That you can still chase after them now for a meeting? It’s utterly childish! If you are sensible, you should stay properly in the Manor and wait for their victorious return to celebrate for them!”
“But can’t I even wish to see my husband once?”
Lu Ying felt a stifling pressure in her chest, feeling like a bird trapped in a cage at the Marquis’s Manor.
“If your brother wanted to see you, why would he have someone guard you, only to let you out after he has left for the campaign? He clearly doesn’t want to see you and doesn’t want to be disturbed by you! ‘Sister-in-law,’ aren’t you a daughter of a military family? How do you not understand this!”
The way Su Yingxue called ‘sister-in-law’ was particularly sarcastic.
A shadow flickered in the depths of Lu Ying’s eyes, “The empress now stays by the emperor’s side and need not be separated from her husband with worry day and night, of course, you cannot understand my longing, after all, it is my husband who has gone to war!”
“Since you know your husband has gone on a military campaign for the country, you should be even more aware of the bigger picture and maintain proper decorum,” Chu Yihan said, his voice carrying overwhelming pressure, like mountains and seas bearing down, making Lu Ying appear like a fool.
If it had been someone else, Lu Ying could have argued back, even if it were a reprimand from Su Qingzhi.
But the person scolding her was Chu Yihan, the supreme emperor, whose words no one dared to refute, and whatever he said was always reasonable.
