Qin Ge suddenly felt guilty, "Mother..."
A mother knows her daughter best.
Her thoughts were instantly seen through by the Empress Dowager.
"Alas, Ge'er, it's not that I do not care for Mu Yan, but Yingxue and Yihan's feelings for each other are strong. Moreover, they are already married; the deed is done. Why cause unnecessary trouble? I will have Ru Lie annul the betrothal between Mu Yan and Yingxue, as if it never existed. You and Ru Lie should take your time to carefully choose another partner for Mu Yan."
The Empress Dowager held Qin Ge's hand, her voice earnest and heartfelt, "I know you have no children of your own and have always treated Mu Yan as if he were your birth son, but his marriage is ultimately not something we can control."
In her tone was a note of compromise. In the past, when Shen Yu impersonated Su Yingxue, she wanted to decide Qin Muyan's marital affairs, only to nearly make a grave mistake.
