Nanzhao Suya was extremely anxious; she was truly worried that the Emperor would betroth her to Cang Mo.
She slightly tugged on Su Yan's sleeve and whispered to her, "I think we should just leave it at this. I don't want to marry a man like him."
In her heart, there was only her brother-in-law; how could she marry someone else?
Su Yan saw her worried expression and felt it inappropriate to say more.
"Alright, let's leave it at that." Being touched by him is a minor loss; marrying him would be the greatest loss.
Their conversation was overheard clearly by Empress Dowager Wen and Cang Mo.
The two exchanged glances and chuckled.
Cang Mo curled his lips, looked at them mockingly, and said, "Leave it at that? Who just insisted on pulling me to apologize? And now, you want to leave it at that? Do you think whatever you say goes?"
His tone was more forceful on the last sentence, carrying a threatening implication.
