Feng Wu didn’t know what to say, so she remained silent and kept her face as Jun Linyuan-like as possible.
The others read her silence as acquiescence.
So, were His Royal Highness and Feng Wu really that close?
The older prince of the grassland ran to Feng Wu’s side and yelled, “Your Royal Highness, although the Senal Grassland is a vassal of the Junwu Empire, we still have our dignity! This is outrageous!”
He tried to make it sound like a conflict between the two forces.
Everyone here was in the political circle and was sensitive to such things. Therefore, they immediately saw what the prince was trying to do.
Lord Mu interjected, “Your Highness, I have to protest. When Princess Ranmil signed the contract, did she sign it as a princess?”
Lord Mu was an experienced politician, and got straight to the heart of the matter.
If Princess Ranmil really had thought of herself as a princess, then she had brought the humiliation on herself.
If she hadn’t thought of herself as a princess when she signed her name, then why was the prince bringing it up? Was he trying to stir up something?
Those words immediately rendered the older prince speechless.
Feng Wu couldn’t help but glance at Lord Mu. She hadn’t expected Mu Yaoyao’s father to be rather capable in that sense.
Lord Mu gave Feng Wu an obsequious smile.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Back then, even Mu Yaoyao had been so arrogant toward her, but now, Mu Yaoyao’s father was trying to fawn on her.
How incredible.
The older prince stared at Feng Wu. “Even… even if that’s the case, Your Royal Highness still didn’t show my sister any respect.”
Feng Wu smiled. “Did I force her to sign it?”
The older prince was speechless.
Feng Wu said, “Since she signed her name, she’s my maid now, and I can give her to whomever I want. Do you have a problem with that?”
The older prince didn’t know what to say.
Feng Wu said, “You should keep me in your prayers. I may give her to the emperor one day. That’ll be a treat for your family.”
The older prince didn’t know what to say.
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu, and his hands shook with anger. “What a defiant son!”
Ranmil looked up, and her eyes were filled with sadness, rage, and humiliation.
She had no idea how things had turned out like this.
She had made one compromise after another, but in the end, she was completely humiliated.
Ranmil only now realized that the “crown prince” didn’t like her at all. “He” had no feelings for her whatsoever.
Ranmil couldn’t take it anymore. She burst into tears and ran away.
Seeing her run away, everyone reacted differently.
Some sighed, some felt sympathetic, and some were sorry for her, but most of them looked at Feng Wu in amazement.
Of course, they thought that they were looking at Jun Linyuan.
Why did they look so impressed? Feng Wu was perplexed.
After the banquet was over, Feng Wu asked Jun Linyuan, “Shouldn’t people accuse me of doing that to Ranmil? Why was there admiration in their eyes?”
