“You Yi also said that before you married Madam Yu, you told her that you would only give her the position of princess consort, and she agreed.” Shen Yijia continued to betray her teammates.

You Yi was about to cry.

Xuanyuan Ce was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “For my brother and mother, I did agree to marry her. However, I already had Ah Luo in my heart at that time, so I didn’t plan to really marry her at first.”

Xuanyuan Qi asked him to marry the daughter of the Yu family because rumors had spread a few years ago that the Yu family admired him.

“Coincidentally, this rumor spread in the second year after my brother ascended the throne. At that time, the aristocratic families were constantly sending women of suitable age into the palace.”

Shen Yijia did not understand what this had to do with him marrying Madam

Yu.

Song Jingchen understood.

He said, “Ordinary wealthy families value the reputation of the women in their pavilions very much. How can they be aristocratic families that use their daughters as bargaining chips? If His Highness was powerful back then, it would be understandable for such words to spread, but in fact, it’s the opposite.”

Although it was not good to say this, Xuanyuan Ce was indeed inferior to a descendant of an aristocratic family at that time. Marrying his daughter to him was not as useful as marrying into another aristocratic family.

How could the Yu family let such words spread? Wasn’t this destroying a p.a.w.n?

After all, once this rumor spread, apart from marrying Xuanyuan Ce, Madam Yu could only marry beneath her status.

The aristocratic families thought that they were superior to others, so it was naturally impossible for them to let the women in their families marry someone who was ranked lower than them.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many women sent to their temples because their reputations had been ruined.

Moreover, reputation was very important to women. As an aristocratic family, Madam Yu naturally understood this.

Even if she really liked it, she would hide it well and not let anyone know.

Even if the people around her accidentally found out about this, the Yu family would still keep it a secret and not let everyone know about it.

The aristocratic families had always had strict family rules. It was not difficult for them to prevent what happened in the residence from spreading.

“That’s right.” Xuanyuan Ce sneered. “In order to prevent the girls in the family from having other thoughts, the aristocratic families won’t let them have the chance to see other men before the marriage discussion. Where do you think Madam Yu’s admiration came from?”

“Your Highness, do you mean that Madam Yu’s admiration is fake, but she didn’t want to enter the palace and used you as a raft?” Song Jingchen asked.

If that was the case, it made sense.

None of the women who entered the palace in the past few years had a good ending. In order to protect herself, Madam Yu went all out and destroyed her reputation.

Shen Yijia asked, “How old was Madam Yu back then? She was already so good?”

Her focus was always strange.

Xuanyuan Ce thought for a moment. “She’s two years younger than me. The second year after my brother ascended the throne… I was only thirteen at that time.”

Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. Did that mean that Madam Yu was only eleven years old when she did this? She was even younger than Sister Huan!

“Which woman raised by an aristocratic family is simple?” Song Jingchen rubbed her head and said suspiciously, “But from MO Yu’s conversation with Madam Yu, it’s not that Madam Yu has no feelings for you.” This was what made Xuanyuan Ce’s expression ugly.

“Back then, I asked her…”

After the emperor and the empress dowager suggested that he marry Madam Yu, he investigated Madam Yu. She was abandoned by the family clan because of a piece of trash. After that, she lived worse than a maidservant in the residence for the next few years.

This confirmed Xuanyuan Ce’s guess.

Therefore, he went to look for Madam Yu.

“I know you don’t like me at all.” He went straight to the point.

That was the first time he and Madam Yu had met.

Shock flashed across Madam Yu’s eyes, but she did not refute him. Instead, she asked, “How did Your Highness know?”

Xuanyuan Ce explained his guess and said, “I can help you.”

Madam Yu looked at him, as if a.n.a.lyzing the truth in his words. After a long time, she asked, “Your Highness, do you have any ideas?”

Xuanyuan Ce said, “What you want is to escape the control of the family. On the day of the wedding, I’ll get someone to rob the sedan chair and send you away. At that time, I’ll give you a new ident.i.ty. As for the Yu family, I’ll explain it to them.”

“Why are you helping me, Your Highness?” Madam Yu was puzzled.

“I’m not helping you. It’s just that I already have someone I like. I don’t want to let her down, and I can’t let her down.”

Unexpectedly, Madam Yu shook her head. “I’m not leaving.”

Without waiting for Xuanyuan Ce to ask, she continued, “Since Your Highness has been honest with me, you must know about my situation in the residence for the past few years. To be honest, I do have someone I like. He’s just a servant in the residence. If I leave, I won’t be able to see him again, so I won’t leave..”
