Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Coming to Look for a Daughter-in-Law

The current Sui Zimo had long since escaped the control of his son, and was no longer a puppet who would do whatever the Emperor commanded. And now they wanted Sui Zimo to eagerly send Lin Caisang, whom he had finally managed to invite, into the palace?

Was that even possible?

It was nothing but a daylight fantasy!

"Mo’er is right, after the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, she will also have a talk with His Majesty, advising him to properly warn those ladies-in-waiting, so they won’t offend Miss Lin unwittingly."

"Your grandson thanks Grandmother Emperor for her consideration," Sui Zimo promptly said his thanks.

...

After a short conversation, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager stood up and left.

"My lord, what exactly was the Empress Dowager here for?" Zhe Jue emerged from the side and asked his master.

Sui Zimo merely glanced at Zhe Jue with cold eyes and scoffed lightly.

"Do we even need to talk about it? That old thing came on behalf of her son to scout for a daughter-in-law. The way she was so eager to investigate my master’s identity says it all," said Zhong You, also entering from outside, with a look of indignation on his face.

Just by looking at that old thing, one can tell she’s up to no good, shamelessly giving meticulous instructions to my lord, as if she really took his master for her son’s bride-to-be? The nerve of her!

"What?!"

Zhe Jue exclaimed in shock upon hearing Zhong You’s words.

He had thought the Empress Dowager came in such a hurry to thwart the Emperor’s unrealistic thoughts, yet unexpectedly...

Indeed, if they aren’t from the same family, they don’t enter the same door - the hearts of this family are all so malicious and horrifying!

"My lord, should your subordinate go teach her a lesson?" He looked at his master, asking for instructions.

The Empress Dowager didn’t bring many people with her, and she rode in a common palanquin. It would be possible to stop it and give her a good chastising.

"No need,"

Sui Zimo shook his head.

Of course, he wanted to give those people in the palace a good thrashing, and not just a simple one at that.

But now... was really not the time.

"Let them keep dreaming their sweet dreams for a few more days,"

said Lin Caisang as she entered. She was holding several books and handed them to Zhong You.

"Zhong You, take a look at these books first, and after you’ve read them, come and discuss with me, then I’ll teach you something else."

"Yes, Master,"

Zhong You received the books, replying respectfully.

"Zhe Jue, don’t you think the sweeter the dream, the more miserable the awakening will be?" Lin Caisang turned to Zhe Jue and asked him back.

"Though you say that, I still can’t swallow the anger," Zhe Jue pouted.

His lady mother was not someone the old Emperor could lust after. Did he think he was still a young lad, on par with his master?

Pah!

Even when the Emperor was young, he couldn’t compare to a single finger of his master.

If it hadn’t been for the Empress Dowager pressing down on the courtiers back then, it would still be uncertain whose throne it would be in Wei State.

"If you’re that upset, then go and do something else," Lin Caisang suggested.

"Something else?"

Zhe Jue raised an eyebrow, unsure what Lin Caisang meant by "something else."

"My lord..."

"Sang’er, come here,"

Sui Zimo beckoned to Lin Caisang. After she approached him, he then looked at Zhe Jue.

"Go and bring the Fifth Young Master from Prince Yi’s Mansion. From now on, he will be raised in Prince Mo’s Mansion," he instructed.

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Zhe Jue was dumbfounded.

The Fifth Young Master of Prince Yi’s Mansion, hadn’t he been pawned to Suyang by the Emperor?
