Upon Lu Liangwei's arrival in the front hall, every person there displayed shock on their faces.
Soon enough, that shock transformed into scorn and irritation.
Lu Liangwei had resorted to desperate measures just to wed the Crown Prince.
She had attempted to hang herself only recently, yet now she couldn't hold back and rushed to the Front Hall to witness the outcome herself.
How shameless!
Even Lu Hetian, who always spoiled her, felt the deepest shame.
His chest surged with fury upon seeing the Crown Prince's undisguised contempt and frustration.
As Lu Hetian's daughter, Lu Liangwei might lack the status of a royal princess, yet she enjoyed a lavish life and was the center of his world. Had she chosen wisely, countless fine men would have lined up to court her.
Regrettably, his foolish girl fixated solely on the Crown Prince, insisting on joining his harem no matter what.
Though he had opposed it before, her suicide bid terrified him deeply. He worried his silly daughter might try again and end her life for real.
For her sake, he swallowed his dignity and begged the Crown Prince personally for this favor.
“Weiwei, why are you here instead of resting in your room?” Madam Zheng forced down her contempt and stepped forward to support Lu Liangwei.
Lu Liangwei eyed her, recognizing this as Lu Yunshuang’s mother, Aunt Zheng.
“Thank you, Aunt Zheng, for your care. But I’m in fine health.”
Madam Zheng stared at Lu Liangwei in astonishment.
‘Since when did this little b*tch become so polite? Normally, she’d shove me aside.
‘I only approached to assist because Lu Hetian is here, to display my generosity to him.’
“What a child. Why be so formal with me? Good that you’re alright.” Madam Zheng was so stunned her smile turned stiff.
Lu Liangwei said no more to her and shifted her gaze to Lu Hetian.
“Father, what are you discussing with the Crown Prince?”
Before Lu Hetian replied, Lu Yunshuang rose from her seat nearby, took Lu Liangwei’s hand, and said softly, “Lil Sis, Father knows your affection for the Crown Prince and is talking with His Highness about bringing you into the Eastern Palace harem.
Lu Liangwei examined Lu Yunshuang closely.
As the novel’s protagonist, Lu Yunshuang truly shone as a stunning beauty with elegant grace, her pure and alluring form captivating all eyes.
‘Father is asking the Crown Prince to accept me as a concubine, yet Lu Yunshuang doesn’t mind?’
She sneered to herself and turned to Lu Hetian. In a steady tone, she questioned, “Is that true, Father?”
Lu Hetian sighed inwardly and nodded. “Hmm, I have that intention...”
Lu Liangwei cut him off. “Father, I disagree. Please regard your daughter’s past folly as a mistake and let it go from now on.”
Lu Hetian believed he’d heard wrong and shot to his feet. “What did you say?”
Lu Liangwei smiled. “I said, I don’t want to marry the Crown Prince as a concubine.”
Lu Hetian sank back into his seat, voicing tiredly, “The Crown Prince has wed your older sister as his Crown Princess. To marry him, you can only be a concubine...”
Hearing this, Lu Liangwei realized his misunderstanding and clarified, “Father, you’ve got it wrong. Even if the Crown Prince weren’t married, I still wouldn’t wed him.”
“Why?” Lu Hetian burst out.
Lu Hetian knew full well how smitten his daughter was with the Crown Prince. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have caused such scandals before.
“Father, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” Lu Liangwei stated calmly.
All in the hall stared at her in utter disbelief.
Who was the fool who chased the Crown Prince relentlessly, despite his clear lack of interest?
Who hanged herself today just to coerce agreement for marrying into his harem as a concubine? And now she spouted that proverb about leading a horse to water?
Everyone saw it as ridiculous.
Lu Yunshuang’s lips twisted in a sneer, but she hid it fast and squeezed Lu Liangwei’s hand. Gravely, she asked, “Lil Sis, are you sure?”
