Chapter 1039: Chapter 1041: Amusement (6)

Cai Wei winced in pain and regained her composure, saying, "Oh, uh... It’s nothing, the important matters are pressing. Oh, right, I just heard that your Imperial Mother is looking for you. It must be something urgent. Shall we go back? I don’t want to be delayed!"

Nangong Yi sighed, clutching his head, and gazing at the clouds above, he spoke anxiously, "It’s about Zhao Yang."

"What happened to her?"

Upon hearing Cai Wei’s inquiry, Nangong Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to tell you something, but please try not to get upset."

Cai Wei replied, "Tell me, and I’ll see if it’s something worth getting upset over."

Nangong Yi gave Cai Wei a tense look and asked cautiously, "Do you promise you won’t get upset?"

"Just tell me!"

Cai Wei, out of patience, pinched the soft flesh at his waist, threatening him.

"Alright!" the man conceded in defeat.

"Zhao Yang wants to marry Zi Qi. The Imperial Mother intends to have Zi Qi marry both Zhao Yang and Fei’er, emulating the Empress Ehuang in treating them equally, without regard to seniority or status..."

"Humph, absurd!"

Cai Wei didn’t let Nangong Yi finish, cutting him off with a cold laugh.

She was extremely protective. If Empress Mo had suggested taking a concubine for Nangong Yi, she might not have been as angry.

Zhao Yang was arrogant and willful, capable of poisoning other women and secretly murdering for the sake of a man. Letting someone like that share a husband with her younger sister was akin to throwing Fei’er into the fire.

And then there was the bit about treating them equally, without regard to their status. It might sound good at the time of marriage, but once she had married, if she began acting like a princess, bullying Fei’er, what could Fei’er possibly do to defend herself?

"Nangong Yi, since Zhao Yang wants to marry Mo Ziqi, let Mo Ziqi himself decide whom to marry. If he wants to marry Princess Zhao Yang, then ask him to return Fei’er’s engagement letter. Let men and women marry of their own accord; if he wants to marry Fei’er, you should advise your younger sister that being overeager isn’t how transactions work. As a woman, she should be a bit more reserved. Why would she want to marry someone who doesn’t want to marry her? If Mo Ziqi wishes to marry them both, then congratulations, your younger sister has won. However, my Fei’er would rather marry a farmer or a blacksmith than share a husband with someone else!"

Nangong Yi gently rubbed her furious face, saying helplessly, "Look, you’re upset, aren’t you? We agreed you wouldn’t get upset!"

Cai Wei angrily said, "My younger sister’s lifetime of happiness is being ruined; how can I not be upset? I’m warning you, don’t you dare favor your sister. We’ll see what Mo Ziqi decides and determine the outcome based on his attitude!"

Nangong Yi said, "If Zi Qi agrees to marry Zhao Yang, the Imperial Mother won’t make Zhao Yang marry alongside Fei’er. It’s because Zi Qi is unwilling to marry Zhao Yang that the Imperial Mother came up with this idea. Rest assured, I won’t interfere in this matter. Just as you said, everything depends on Zi Qi’s attitude and whether he can withstand the pressure!"

Upon hearing this news, Cai Wei was deeply troubled. She put on her clothes with a stern expression and began to make arrangements to go back. Nangong Yi held her back and said, "Wei’er, this situation could actually be a good test of Zi Qi’s feelings for Fei’er. If Zi Qi’s affection for Fei’er is stronger than gold, he can resolve this matter by himself without you, as her older sister, needing to worry so much. However, if Zi Qi’s feelings for Fei’er are not that deep, then you should be glad that this situation has arisen. Otherwise, what would you do if it happened after they were married?"

Having heard him out, Cai Wei felt there was some sense to his words, and she wasn’t as angry anymore. Yet, thinking of Empress Mo and Zhao Yang still somewhat upset her. She warned Nangong Yi, "If we get married and your mother and sister try to meddle in our lives, I absolutely won’t accept it!"
