"No, I absolutely refuse to let you marry Suxin," Zhang Lian growled with a darkened expression at the Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Yuwen looked crestfallen, but his gaze was firm: "Father, my cousin and I are truly in love, why can't you just let us be together?"
"Let you be? She was the former Empress, what kind of situation would it be if you brought her into our home as your wife?"
"She's no longer the Empress, she's a free person now. The things I promised His Majesty to do were all for my cousin. I've missed my chance with her once and I can't afford to miss it a second time," Zhang Yuwen said with determination.
"You even dared to deal with the State Preceptor without consulting me. Do you know how dangerous that was?" Zhang Lian scolded his son angrily, glaring at him.
"And yet, here I am unharmed."
"But now the State Preceptor is nowhere to be seen, who knows if he will come back for revenge?"
