Chapter 136 Annulling the Engagement for Marriage in Three Days

“Su Muge, don’t be proud!”

As soon as Su Muge returned to Su Mansion, she was stopped by Su Jingwen.

After being granted a marriage by the Emperor, Su Jingwen returned to Su Mansion for preparation.

Su Muge raised the corner of her lips carelessly. “Proud? Proud of what? Proud of that I will become the wife of the King of Jin but you can just be a concubine of Second Prince with so much effort? If so, I should be really proud.”

“You! You bitch! Let’s wait, wait until Second Prince … I’ll never let you go!” Su Jingwen glared at Su Muge fiercely and left with a group of maids.

“Miss, you’re back. Madam will ask us to wait outside the imperial palace.” Yueru came over as soon as she got the news that Su Muge had returned.

“I’m back.”

Yueru glanced at Su Jingwen’s back and said, “After returning to the mansion, My Lord specially sent people to An Mansion to pick up the second Miss, saying that she couldn’t stay in An Mansion to prepare for her marriage.”

“What about An?”

Yueru shook her head. “My Lord didn’t mention her.”

Su Muge nodded. “Okay.” Su Jingwen would be the concubine of Second Prince, and the situation was still unclear. Before Second Prince got a landslide victory in the establishment of the Crown Prince, An couldn’t come back.

When she returned to Peachblossom Courtyard, little Wenmo had just woken up, and the nanny was teasing him in her arms.

After Zhao took charge of Su Mansion, she gradually stopped feeding little Wenmo personally. Little Wenmo would usually drink the breast milk of the nanny and goat milk. And now he had grown much stronger.

“My dear baby, do you miss your sister?” Su Muge walked into the house, washed her hands with hot water, and changed a casual cotton robe before hugging little Wenmo.

With his first two teeth erupting through his gums, the little guy kept drooling. As Su Muge wiped his saliva with a handkerchief, he bit her finger.

“What a bad guy. You’ve known to grind your teeth by biting my finger.”

Little Wenmo felt it so funny that he held Su Muge’s finger without letting her go.

“Miss.” Xinche walked into the room holding a pile of bright red fabrics.

“What’s up?”

“Madam said that you’ll get married in three months. The time is too limited, so you should start embroidering your dowry now. Miss, come and take a look. Which of these fabrics do you like?”

Su Muge was to marry a prince. The wedding dress would be embroidered by a royal embroiderer, but the rest of the dowry must be done by the bride.

“What? I have to make them all?” She would rather go to dissect the body!

Seeing Su Muge’s unwilling look, Xinche tittered. “Madam has said, even if you can’t make them all, you should embroider some parts anyway.”

Well, it was okay to make fashion.

“Madam has also said, during this period, you should prepare your marriage at home without going anywhere.”

Apart from Cheng Ran’s house, she needn’t go anywhere else.

“Okay.”

In the next few days, Su Muge stayed in Peachblossom Courtyard as expected.

“Miss.” Yueru walked into the room with an envelope.

“What’s up?” Su Muge looked up from a medical book. Xinche and Xinlan were sitting beside and helping her embroider the dowry.

“Just now, the porter said there was an anonymous letter for you. They said that it should be handed to you; otherwise, the Zhao family will be in danger.” Knowing that the Zhao family was Zhao’s maiden family, the porter dared not to delay and sent the letter to Peachblossom Courtyard.

Su Muge put down the medical book, took over the letter, and opened it.

There was only a short sentence in the letter: annul the engagement for marriage in three days!

Annul the engagement for marriage…

Su Muge’s fingertips holding the stationery turned pale. What would happen if she didn’t annul the engagement for marriage in three days?

“Miss, what is the content of the letter?” Seeing Su Muge’s stern face, Yueru asked in a low voice.

Su Muge threw the stationery into the brazier. In an instant, the stationery was burned to ashes. “Don’t let Madam know about this.”

“Yes.”

After Wang was taken away by the Emperor’s mother, everyone else except for Zhao Shun had all been taken away by the Emperor’s mother. Although Cheng Ran had been investigating this matter, there was no news yet. Well, how could it be easy to get news from the Emperor’s mother?

Thinking about the Emperor’s mother’s attitude towards her, Su Muge understood that the Emperor’s mother didn’t want her to marry Xia Houmo!

Zhao Shun said that her grandmother was with them. She could ignore others’ life and death, but she couldn’t ignore her grandmother!

Even if she went to the Emperor’s mother at this time, the Emperor’s mother would never admit it!

What should she do to rescue her grandmother without being controlled?

That night, Su Muge had a bad sleep.

When she woke up the next morning, the porter received another thing. After the thing was delivered to Peachblossom Courtyard, Xinlan directly handed it to Su Muge.

Su Muge opened it and saw some grey hair inside!

Su Muge put the box on the table with a cold look.

“Miss …”

“Tell the porter that, if someone comes tomorrow, tell him that I want to see the person.”

“Yes.”

The next day, as expected, someone came again and sent a bloody ear. The porter delivered Su Muge’s words to him. Near noon, someone sent a letter and asked her to wait at the teahouse at the corner of Zhengyang Street two hour later.

Su Muge came to the teahouse as scheduled and heard a loud noise on the street.

She came to the window and looked out. It was a juggler performing on the street.

As she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly caught sight of a little girl in the crowd watching the juggling. If she was right, it was her cousin Zhao Xiaohua.

A cold-faced man followed behind Zhao Xiaohua and suddenly looked up towards Su Muge.

Su Muge was stunned, turned around, and ran down the teahouse, but Zhao Xiaohua had disappeared in the crowd!

When she returned to the teahouse, Cheng Ran, who had hidden in the dark secretly, also returned.

“Miss, there are too many people, and I lost track of them. The person is too fast.” He had been discovered before walking out of this street.

Suddenly, the door of the teahouse was pushed open and a waiter walked in with hot tea. He lowered his head and said in a weird tone blankly, “Miss Su, you’d better not play tricks. If our master is irritated, the consequence will be unimaginable.”

Su Muge looked sharply at the waiter, who had already been wearing a smile as before.

“Guests, enjoy yourselves!” After that, he retreated.

“Miss, I’ll go and see.”

“No need. He’s just a messenger.”

“What shall we do then?”

Su Muge stood up. “Go back. Be more careful these days. As soon as you notice something strange, leave with the children immediately.”

“Yes, I see.”

On the third morning, the porter received nothing.

In Peachblossom Courtyard, Yueru was worried to see Su Muge sitting at the table and staring at the breakfast in a daze. “Miss, these dishes are cold. Let me heat them.”

“No need. You may retreat.”

Yueru looked at her worriedly and retreated.

Su Muge came to her bed, took out a small package under the bed, and opened it. It was the death-free golden medallion she had got from the Emperor.

Su Muge opened the door and walked out.

“Yueru, prepare a carriage for me. I’m going out.”

“Where are you going, Miss?”

“Jin Mansion.”

“Jin Mansion …”

They would get married in three months. According to the rules, they couldn’t meet in private…

“Hurry up.”

Seeing Yueru still stunned, Su Muge said in a low tone.

Seeing Su Muge’s stern look, Yueru dared not to ask. “Yes, I’ll go right away.”

One hour later, Su Muge arrived at the Jin Mansion.

“Miss, I’ll go to report. Wait for me in the carriage.”

“Okay.”

Yueru jumped off the carriage and walked towards the gate of Jin Mansion.

She returned with a frustrated look.

“Miss, the King of Jin is not in the mansion at this time.”

“Do you know when he will be back?” Su Muge frowned.

Yueru shook her head.

Su Muge took a deep breath, leaned on the carriage, and closed her eyes. “Let’s go to the imperial palace.”

“Miss, you’re going to the imperial palace?” Yueru was a little surprised. Without summons, nobody could enter the imperial palace.

“Yes, let’s go to the imperial palace.”

“Yes.”

The carriage slowly started and headed for the imperial palace.

After the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Su Muge took out the death-free golden medallion and asked to see the Emperor.

The imperial guards guarding the gate went to report to the Emperor without delay.

After two quarters, Su Muge came to the hall.

“Miss Su, His Majesty is inside. Please go in.” Seeing Su Muge, Eunuch Yi stepped forward with a smile.

Su Muge clenched her death-free golden medallion and walked into the hall.

Xia Hourui sat on the dragon throne and raised his head from the letters.

“Your Majesty, pay my respects to you.”

“Get up. You bring the death-free golden medallion to see me?”

“Yes.”

Xia Hourui threw down the letter in his hand and looked at her with interest.

“I am curious about what makes you use the death-free golden medallion?”

Su Muge took out the death-free golden medallion.

“Please annul the engagement for marriage, Your Majesty!”

Xia Hourui withdrew his smile and narrowed his eyes. “What did you say?”

Su Muge lowered her eyes and raised the death-free golden medallion above her head.

“Please annul the engagement for marriage, Your Majesty!”

“Bang!”

Xia Hourui threw all the writing brushes and ink on the desk to the ground due to shock or anger, and the ink was splashed everywhere.

“Su Muge, do you know what you are talking about?!”

“I, I know!”

“Well, well, tell me, the King of Jin is not good enough for you? How could you even refuse to marry him?!”

Su Muge lowered her head without answering.

“Tell me! I want you to tell me!”

“I, I implore you to permit me, Your Majesty!”

“Well, well, Su Muge!”

“You want to annul the engagement of marriage?” A cold voice came from behind, and Su Muge’s body became stiff suddenly!

In an instant, he had come to her. He raised her chin to force her to look at him.

“Answer me, do you want to annul the engagement of marriage?”
