Strongest Lady's

Ch. 61-Brottle

Weiruo stared intently at the letter that his father had just given her, the girl carefully read each word written on the piece of paper.

Xuan Guoxin pinched his forehead slowly, he was also at a loss as to what to respond to after reading the contents of the letter.

This morning the eunuch came with an envoy from Shengshui Empire, originally Xuan Guoxin had only thought that the envoy had come for political gain. However, it actually brought another piece of news that was so shocking.

“I refused,” said Weiruo.

“I've guessed it.”

Xuan Guoxin breathed a sigh of resignation, after all how could Weiruo instantly accept the matchmaking that was as sudden as it was today.

Weiruo intended to ask his father to send a rejection letter. However, after reading the last sentence stating that Song Mingzi's party was already on its way to his capital, Weiruo immediately abandoned that intention and devised a plan to expel Song Mingzi later.

After being satisfied with cursing Song Qian, Song Mingzi's son, Weiruo left Xuan Guoxin's study and returned to his residence.

Seeing the look on Weiruo's face so bad, Da Feng immediately asked what happened when he met his father.

Weiruo sat quietly in the gazebo and recounted the arranged marriage plan by Song Mongzi.

Da Feng laughed loosely as soon as Weiruo's story ended, the young man only stopped when Weiruo let out such a thin killing aura.

“Alright, I won't laugh. Then what's your plan? Who invites you to get engaged is not just a noble child,” Da Feng said after wiping his tears that came out so satisfied with laughter.

“I see, I will reject the engagement when Emperor Song meets Father.”

Weiruo took out a reading book and began reading one of the pages he last read yesterday.

A horse carriage troupe with dozens of bodyguards entered the capital of the Xifeng Empire.

On one of the most luxurious looking horse carriages, a young man looked out with such enthusiasm.

“Qian’er, I hope you don't expect more,” said a man sitting in front of the young man.

“Dad, I know that, but there's no harm in trying. I ... fell in love at first sight.”

The young man smiled faintly and imagined the look of the girl he would meet later, who else if not Xuan Weiruo, Song Qian was really impatient after the wait for three months.

After his first meeting in the small town three months ago, Song Qian continued to imagine Weiruo's beautiful face, especially after seeing the firm demeanor that the girl had.

The party soon arrived at the palace and was greeted by Xuan Guoxin as well as Xuan Riuyi.

Xuan Guoxin allowed Song Mingzi's entourage to rest in the place she had prepared, only to talk about the engagement the next day.

The event was so well prepared, Song Mingzi enjoyed meeting Xuan Guoxin even though the previous day the man felt tired after a long journey.

Weiruo certainly attended the meeting, not forgetting Da Feng who continued to stick to the girl, like it had been glued with such a strong adhesive.

Song Qian held back her dissatisfaction seeing Weiruo's closeness to Da Feng.

Da Feng only smiled slightly looking at Song Qian's expression, the young man poured tea into Weiruo's cup as soon as he realized Weiruo's cup was empty.

“Mr Princess seems so close to that Young Master,” Song Mingzi chirped as she glanced at her son.

“They are like that, I'm not surprised.” Xuan Guoxin chuckled softly at Song Mingzi's words.

Hearing Xuan Guoxin's words instantly made Song Qian feel a tightness in her chest, as if a needle was piercing into her heart.

Of course Da Feng noticed the displeasure on Song Qian's face, the young man grew even happier and continued his act of clinging to Weiruo.

The conversation continued, until it was time to talk about the engagement between Weiruo and Song Qian. Silence took hold for a moment when Song Mingzi alluded to that.

Xuan Guoxin tried to subtly refuse, after all Weiruo and Song Qian did not know each other.

“Emperor, I am sure I can familiarize myself with Mr. Putri.”

Da Feng raised next to his eyebrows, feeling that Song Qian felt too adamant about chasing Weiruo.

“Prince, why are you so insistent on getting engaged to me?” weiruo asked after a long time of silence.

“I fell in love at first sight. What you remember about the outbreak, I—“

“I already know. But sorry, I'm not interested in this engagement.” Weiruo shifted his cup before Da Feng and let the young man fill his cup with tea.

“Ah...”.

Song Qian gasped at Weiruo's words. The young man did not expect Weiruo to realize his identity, but he believed he had closed the identity as best he could before.

“I emphasize once again, this engagement .. I refused it.”

Xuan Guoxin could do nothing, after all the engagement was also impressed forced by Song Qian's side.

Weiruo herself also did not care about Song Qian's response, however she would reject the engagement at any cost if Song Qian still insisted.

***

Song Mingzi planned to stay for a few days. Song Mingzi actually had quite a close relationship with Xuan Guoxin, so the two spent a lot of time together to have small talk or discuss cooperation between countries.

Song Qian did not stop approaching Weiruo when there was a chance, when the girl came out of her residence, Song Qian would follow from a distance and berusha attracted the attention of the girl.

However, his efforts were certainly futile as Weiruo completely ignored the existence of the young man.

Today Weiruo walked outside alone because Da Feng was still busy practicing in his room.

Weiruo walked as usual towards the palace library, of course the girl realized the presence of Song Qian who continued to walk not far from her, hiding behind the trees and buildings passed by her.

“Stop following,” said Weiruo who was suddenly next to Song Qian after disappearing at one turn of the road.

Song Qian fell to the ground so surprised, the young man wanted to say something but his sentence was stifled at the cold gaze from Weiruo.

Song Qian immediately got up, after gathering some courage, the young man finally dared to start a conversation with Weiruo.

“I'm really in love with you, can't you rethink your decision?” Song Qian looked at Weiruo heartily hoping for the girl to change her mind.

However, Weiruo was still with her flat expression and asked Song Qian to stop following him.

“Keep away from him!’

Da Feng was suddenly beside Song Qian and threw the young man away from Weiruo. Da Feng of course felt annoyed at seeing Song Qian who kept bothering Weiruo.
