Chapter 379 Cannon Fodder Bastard Sister 5
Looking at the people standing in front of her, the princess was at a loss for what to do.
A crown prince, a general, and the two daughters of the Grand Tutor actually caused her to lose face so badly in her Princess's residence.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The Crown Prince and Baili Xuance were still somewhat confused, while Su Wunian and Su Wanrou were filled with fear and shame.
The Crown Prince, forcing a show of authority, said, "Aunt, I really don't know what happened. I just drank a few too many drinks at the banquet, and then went out for some fresh air, and was knocked unconscious."
Baili Xuance frowned and said coldly, "Me too. I think we've been drugged."
Of the group, only Baili Xuance appeared the most composed.
Who told him to always have a cold face, like someone with a poker face, unable to show any emotion?
Su Wanrou bit her lip and looked at the Princess: "Your Highness, please understand, we are innocent as well."
She began to sob; she truly didn't know how things had turned out this way.
She wanted people to find out about her affair with the Crown Prince, so he would have no choice but to marry her, but now…
The eldest princess snorted coldly: "This is my eldest princess's residence. I will investigate this scandal myself."
"Heh, I don't know, and I don't know who has the ability to knock out General Baili silently. Is it that the villain's methods are too advanced, or that General Baili is too useless?"
"You need not say more. I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty will make the decision."
After saying this, the princess's gaze swept over the crowd of onlookers.
"Keep your mouth shut. I don't want to hear any rumors in the capital tomorrow, or the Emperor will blame us..."
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison.
This matter concerns the Crown Prince, so they certainly dare not speak recklessly, but nothing is absolute.
The banquet ended unhappily, and everyone else went home, except for the four who followed the princess into the palace.
Everyone was filled with trepidation, but Baili Xuance secretly felt a little bit of joy.
If he touched Su Wunian, can she still become the Crown Princess?
He thought, the Crown Prince probably won't want her anymore, so what about himself...?
Royal study room.
After hearing the eldest princess's report, the emperor looked at the four people kneeling on the ground and slammed a memorial down on the crown prince's head.
"You scoundrel! How dare the Crown Prince commit such a disgraceful act, especially at your aunt's banquet! What kind of behavior is this!"
The crown prince trembled with fear and quickly kowtowed, saying, "Father, please calm your anger. Your son was also ambushed."
The emperor then looked at Baili Xuance and sneered, "You, as a general, are so careless. If you are like this on the battlefield, how can you protect my country and its people!"
Baili Xuance bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Your Majesty an explanation."
The emperor didn't say much to Su Wunian and Su Wanrou, the two women, and rubbed his temples, feeling agitated.
If this was a setup, it only shows that his crown prince and general are two useless people.
If it was something they played with, then…
That won't do either. The crown prince has homosexual tendencies; how can he be a ruler of a country?
As for the two women, the other one is easier to talk to.
But this is the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor, and she already has a first marriage with General Baili. How can she become the Crown Prince's principal wife?
"You tell me yourselves, what should we do about this? This matter has been brought to light by everyone, and I imagine it will be common knowledge by tomorrow's court session."
The people kneeling below fell silent; none of them dared to initiate the conversation.
The Crown Prince was deeply resentful, as both of his women had been touched by Baili Xuance.
If he accepts them all, it will make him seem no different from a junk collector.
He was determined to marry Su Wunian, for the sake of her wealth and the support of the Grand Tutor.
Ke Wanrou…
Does he really intend to collect junk? His backyard is full of women who have slept with Baili Xuance.
At this moment, the Crown Prince completely forgot that he was still a man whom Baili Xuance had slept with.
After a long silence, the emperor grew angry.
"Speak up! Are you all mute? Do I have to pry your mouths open? Now you know you're embarrassing yourselves? Where were you before?"
"Your Highness, speak."
At this moment, Su Wanrou mustered up her courage and spoke up.
"Your Majesty, my daughter and I are in love with His Highness the Crown Prince. We voluntarily wish to become his concubines. We beg Your Majesty to grant our request."
Upon hearing Su Wanrou's words, the Crown Prince's expression turned sour.
If he had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose Su Wunian. At worst, he could just make Wanrou a concubine later.
Now he has no choice but to choose both, and he has to swallow this bitter pill.
"Father, I have made up my mind. I am willing to take Miss Su as my concubine and Miss Su as my second concubine."
Before the emperor could speak, Su Wunian said, "I refuse."
"What?" The Crown Prince thought he had misheard. This woman was actually unwilling?
Su Wunian repeated herself: "I do not wish to become the Crown Prince's concubine."
Now, even the crown prince was angry.
"Hmph, Su Wunian, stop throwing a tantrum now. You've already lost your virginity, do you still want to be my Crown Princess?"
"The fact that I am willing to make you my concubine is already the greatest honor I can bestow upon you."
Su Wunian didn't even glance at the Crown Prince, but stared straight at the Emperor at the head of the table.
"Your Majesty, I know I am not worthy of the Crown Prince. I do not wish to marry the Crown Prince, whether as his principal wife or a concubine."
Su Wunian was clearly slapping the Crown Prince in the face, and the Crown Prince was no longer going to tolerate her.
"Fine, fine, fine, Su Wunian, you were originally my fiancée. Now that you've refused the marriage, who do you think you can marry? Who in this world would dare to marry you?"
"I, your subject, am willing to marry Miss Su."
Bai Li Xuance's voice suddenly rang out.
Crown Prince…
Seeing the chaotic mess in their relationships, the emperor was on the verge of a heart attack.
If we give all the people to the Crown Prince, he'll be cuckolded. If we give them to Baili Xuance, it'll look like the royal family is bullying people.
The best solution is one for each person.
The emperor cleared his throat: "Ahem, since that's the case, then..."
"No, I do not wish to marry General Baili either," Su Wunian said before the emperor could speak.
Now, everyone looked at her in surprise.
She doesn't want to marry the Crown Prince, nor does she want to marry Baili Xuance. What, does she want to fly to the heavens?
The emperor's gaze toward her held a newfound inquisitiveness.
“Su Wunian, you are unwilling to marry either of them, so what do you want to do? Do you know that you have already lost your reputation?”
"I know that I would rather spend my remaining years in seclusion with a Buddhist lamp and a Buddha statue than force myself to marry someone I do not love."
No one knew what Su Wunian was thinking. Two such outstanding men were placed in front of her, yet she didn't want either of them.
Only Su Wunian's eyes were filled with bitterness.
In her first life, she chose the crown prince, and she lost.
In her second life, she chose Baili Xuance, but she still lost.
In this life, she doesn't want anyone anymore; she really can't afford to.
The expressions of the others varied, some were joyful, some were angry, and some were disappointed, but none of this concerned Su Wunian.
Unfortunately, her fate was never in her own hands.
Finally, the emperor decreed that Su Wunian would become the Crown Prince's concubine, and Su Wanrou would become Baili Xuance's concubine.
The marriage arrangements for these people were thus settled.
