Chapter 1754: Chapter 1754

If Consort Liu were to seize upon her weakness, I’m afraid this girl would agree on the spot to go to Xiliang for a diplomatic marriage.

"Consort Liu, you’re of such noble status, how could I trouble you to act personally? I am a good friend of Ru Chun, let me help her up."

Lin Yuan swiftly stood up from her seat and in a few steps, she was before Yan Ruchun, tightly gripping Yan Ruchun’s arms, stopping her from bowing.

However, this girl’s stubborn nature was strong, she simply refused to stand.

Lin Yuan quietly sighed and whispered, "Foolish girl, can’t you see why your aunt wants to help you? She wants to threaten you into agreeing on the spot! Hurry up and get up. Don’t worry, I won’t let you go to Xiliang for a diplomatic marriage!"

Lin Yuan’s words hit Yan Ruchun’s heart like a sledgehammer, causing her to look up and indeed see Consort Liu’s face contorted in ugly anger because of Lin Yuan’s intervention.

With a cold laugh, Yan Ruchun squinted slightly, "All those years of care from Father were wasted, she’s truly heartless!"

Allowing Lin Yuan to pull her up, Yan Ruchun gave her an appreciative smile and her gaze happened to sweep over Wei Boyu seated opposite, her lashes immediately shielding the disappointment in her eyes.

It was just a casual glance, unnoticed by Wei Boyu.

But what difference does it make if he didn’t notice? At this moment, he was already restless!

As Lin Yuan had just pulled Yan Ruchun up, Wei Boyu rose and stepped forward to the center of the hall, kneeling at Yan Ruchun’s feet.

His resonant voice echoed throughout the hall, every word striking the ears and hearts of everyone present.

"Your Majesty, I, your servant Wei Boyu, have long admired Miss Yan. A month ago, I informed my elders, preparing to propose to the Yan Mansion after the New Year. Moreover, Old Master Yan is quite pleased with me, and this marriage was about to be arranged. However, I don’t know why Consort Liu today suddenly suggests sending Miss Yan away to marry as a diplomat to Xiliang. I am deeply pained and hope Your Majesty will consider our mutual affection and grant us your blessing!"

Wei Boyu’s sudden intervention changed the entire course of events, surprising not only Consort Liu but even Yan Ruchun herself with his revelation.

What does he mean by preparing to propose? What does he mean by Father being quite pleased?

How is it she didn’t know about these things at all?

Yan Ruchun stared blankly at Wei Boyu kneeling straight-backed, her eyes growing hot and stinging.

She used to hear Xu Muqing, the little plump boy, say how much Brother Rong pampered her and treated her so well. Honestly, she felt a bit envious.

Yet now that the matter landed on her own head, why doesn’t it feel all that genuine?

With stiff neck, Yan Ruchun looked towards Wei family’s two elders, only to see Wei Boyu’s father and mother surprised too, evidently unaware of what Wei Boyu had said.

However, Wei Borong, the little plump boy, was whispering something in their ears, and soon, Yan Ruchun saw Madam Wei’s slightly plump face blossom into a smile of joy and satisfaction.

Not just her, even Sir Wei’s brows relaxed, stroking his beard with a slight nod.

It seems like the Wei family elders are quite pleased with this marriage proposal.

Lin Yuan naturally observed the Wei family’s reaction, and since both elders have expressed their agreement, the two youngsters are also mutually in love, what more is there to say? The source of this content ɪs NoveIＦire.net

As long as the Old Emperor isn’t too blind to see, naturally he should bless them with a happy marriage right here and now.

But plainly, Consort Liu wouldn’t be one to give up so easily.

"Young Master Wei, how can you say such things? My elder brother clearly stated he did not wish to marry Chunchun to you. How dare you distort the truth?"

Who precisely is distorting the truth is uncertain!

Lin Yuan gave a fierce snort, ready to call for Yan Xiangkai to come to the palace for a confrontation.

But just as she started speaking, her voice died away.

Call Yan Xiangkai to the palace for a confrontation?

One sibling is his own younger sister, the other is his own daughter; both are flesh and blood, how should Yan Xiangkai choose?

What’s more, Consort Liu just mentioned something to the Old Emperor? If Yan Xiangkai arrived and overturned Consort Liu’s words, wouldn’t Consort Liu have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor? That’s punishable by beheading!

Seeing Consort Liu’s smug expression, Lin Yuan finally understood her cunning scheme.

She was counting on Yan Xiangkai’s reluctance to let her die to dare speak such audacious words!

Wei Boyu didn’t expect Consort Liu to be so brazen-faced, not afraid of dealing with villains, but only afraid of dealing with shameless people; he truly grasped the essence of this saying at that moment.
