Song Ci fell into an eerie silence after seeing Lu Ming's arm.
Where there should have been an arm, there was now only an empty sleeve tied at the waist, and she understood where Princess Anping's dissatisfaction lay.
What mother who truly loves her daughter doesn't wish for her to marry a suitable, perfect husband? But the other party was disabled; how could the noble Princess Anping be satisfied?
The status of the Princely Heir of Marquis Jing'an Mansion is esteemed, but is the Commandery Princess Shou Ning not also esteemed?
To pair someone more noble than the Princely Heir with a disabled husband, how could the princess be willing?
Yet, unwilling as she might be, it was settled. Considering it was the Emperor who decreed the marriage, it could only mean a political alliance.
Song Ci looked at Princess Anping, at a loss for comforting words; what could she say that wouldn't seem hollow?
"Was it the Emperor who decreed the marriage?" she could only whisper.
