Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 11: Song Qianfan Is Rejected

Looking at the chaotic scene before her, with Su Juan next to her finding amusement in the situation, Liu Miaoying felt a throbbing at her temple. Her head felt like it was going to burst, so she had no choice but to arrange for the guests to be dispersed.

In the distance, Xie Xun, who was leaving, could still hear Su Juan’s continuous chatter. He shook his fan and chuckled. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

When most of the guests had left, Lin Xizhi sighed, "If it weren’t for someone who knew the inside story today, Miss Mu would really have had no choice but to marry into the Lian Family."

Liu Miaoying replied, "If that were the case, her reputation would be utterly ruined, and even if she entered the Lian Family, she could probably only become a concubine."

Lin Xizhi sighed, "Luckily this matter was clarified, and her honor was preserved, or else Miss Mu would have been truly ruined."

Liu Miaoying said, "The incident today has blown up so much, I’m afraid even the marriage she boasted about won’t be secured."

The guests all witnessed her disheveled appearance with Young Master Lian, and even though it’s known that Young Master Lian is not interested in women, the rumors outside will be particularly unpleasant.

Apparently, Mu Yan knows that her good marriage is no longer secure, so she was angry enough to fight with He Yue in public.

Lin Xizhi frowned, "But she never had a secret meeting with Young Master Lian! Wasn’t this matter clarified?"

Liu Miaoying said seriously, "The one she’s engaged to is the son of the Assistant Minister of Rites, from the Du Family, which always values these matters highly. Even if the secret meeting was clarified, with the gossip outside, the Du Family will no longer want Miss Mu."

Lin Xizhi sighed slightly, "In these times... being a woman is truly not easy."

Su Juan laughed, "Miss Mu not entering the Du Family may not be a bad thing."

The two people heard this but didn’t understand her meaning.

"Could it be that you know something?" Lin Xizhi asked curiously.

Su Juan squinted, "I don’t know, I’m just speaking casually."

Liu Miaoying looked at Su Juan, knowing she definitely wouldn’t speak casually, thinking this marriage with the Du Family was indeed not a good thing.

Just as she was considering this, Su Juan provided the reason.

[The Du Family is not a good place to go. After canceling the engagement, they associated with the He Family. What was originally Mu Yan’s marriage fell to He Yue. Initially, she was quite pleased, but after marrying in, she discovered that the Du family’s son already had a mistress outside, who was pregnant, with her belly quite big!]

[That’s why Vice Minister Du is eager to find a wife for his son.]

[Not even married yet and already has an eldest illegitimate son, not only keeping the mistress but also having the illegitimate son registered under He Yue’s name. And that Mr. Du loves gambling and frequently beats He Yue, causing chaos in the family.]

[On the other hand, Mu Yan, because of this, could only marry far away, and ended up marrying a good-tempered and ambitious husband. Although life is plain, compared to He Yue’s marital situation, it’s much better.]

Su Juan and Lin Xizhi left the Liu Mansion one after the other. As they walked away, Su Juan looked through the window of the carriage and caught sight of a passing carriage she recognized as Song Qianfan’s exclusive carriage, heading to the Liu Mansion.

"Heir Consort, the person who just passed by, is likely the Princely Heir. Should we turn back?" exclaimed Dongdong, the maid sitting outside.

This street only led to the Liu Mansion, so she guessed that the Princely Heir was probably going to pick up the Heir Consort.

Su Juan closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, lazily leaning back, "No need, head straight back to the Prince Mansion."

Of course, she wouldn’t presumptuously think Song Qianfan was there to pick her up.

...

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Liu Mansion.

Seeing Song Qianfan, Liu Miaoying thought he was there to take Su Juan back to the Prince Mansion and said softly, "Princely Heir, you came at an unfortunate time, the Heir Consort has just left."

Song Qianfan’s gaze fell on her, his voice warm and tender, "Miaoying, you misunderstand. I’m here for you."

Liu Miaoying’s brow slightly furrowed. She actually knew Song Qianfan’s intentions and had politely declined a few times, but either her rejections weren’t clear enough, or he simply hadn’t understood.

Never mind, today she would make it clear.

After welcoming Song Qianfan into the mansion’s flower hall and serving tea, Liu Miaoying had the maids and guards leave.

Once they were alone, Song Qianfan eagerly explained, "Miaoying, the imperial marriage was not my wish. I’ve always cared for only you. Whether in the past or the future, this has never changed."

"There’s no love between Su Juan and me, nor will there be any relationship. The position of the main wife in my heart only you can hold, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Miaoying’s delicate brows knitted tightly. She hadn’t expected the dignified Princely Heir to speak such words, completely disregarding his own wife.

She suddenly felt it was not worth it for Su Juan to marry such a person.

"Princely Heir, you now have a Heir Consort. Ah Juan is a good girl; you should cherish her."

"It’s Miaoying who lacks the fortune, you need not remember Miaoying anymore."

Her tone was cold and distant, unwilling to give Song Qianfan any chance of misunderstanding.

But Song Qianfan thought Liu Miaoying was annoyed because the position of Heir Consort was occupied by Su Juan, and she was speaking out of anger.

He disliked being rejected, especially by a woman, but it didn’t matter. He always had patience for Liu Miaoying.

Song Qianfan smiled and said, "Miaoying, I know you mind, but I won’t wrong you. I will find a way to separate from Su Juan. You just need to wait a bit, and I swear I’ll request an imperial decree to marry you. Just wait a little longer..."

Before he could finish, Liu Miaoying, who could no longer listen, interrupted him.

"I don’t know what behavior of mine led to your misunderstanding, but I apologize to you for it."

Liu Miaoying spoke, standing up and bowing to Song Qianfan, "I have no interest in the position of Heir Consort, and I get along well with Ah Juan. I hope you don’t speak such foolish words anymore in the future and focus on living well."

By now, Song Qianfan’s face had turned somewhat unpleasant.

But Liu Miaoying had resolved to make things clear today to prevent Song Qianfan from continuing like this in the future.

"I will act as if I never heard what you said today."

Until Song Qianfan was sent out of the Liu Mansion, he couldn’t believe he had been rejected by Liu Miaoying.

Clearly, in the past, when he hinted multiple times, she never refused, sometimes even feeling shy, but today...

Linking it to Su Juan just leaving, Song Qianfan frowned tightly, assuming Su Juan was why Liu Miaoying had become distant.

Surely, Su Juan must have spread some nonsense to create this rift.

Song Qianfan ground his teeth, this Su Juan!

...

Back at the Prince Mansion, Su Juan was lying on the soft couch reading a popular novel from the Capital City, while Dongdong fed her fruit, one piece after another.

As soon as Song Qianfan entered, he saw her like this, and his anger flared.

"Look at you now, how is this in any way becoming of a Heir Consort?"

Su Juan, confused, sat up from the couch. When she saw Song Qianfan’s face looking as if he wanted to settle scores with her, although she didn’t know what had upset him again, she was already practiced, "It’s my fault."

Song Qianfan was furious, "From now on, you are not allowed to get close to Liu Miaoying."

Su Juan immediately understood and silently rolled her eyes.

[I wondered what had him acting crazy; turns out he was snubbed by Miaoying and came back to vent his anger.]
