Misty Rain Tower

"I refuse to marry; let whoever wishes to marry do so!"

In the imperial palace, upon hearing the news from outside, the Ninth Princess Murong, who was usually calm, could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and burst out in rage.

Beside her, the Fourth Prince Mu Bai sat at the table, sipping tea while watching his sister lose her temper.

"Brother!"

Seeing his composed demeanor, Murong couldn't help but express her irritation, "How can you remain so calm?"

"Don't worry, Father won't force you to marry into the Tianyu Hall."

Mu Bai spoke indifferently, "You are the master of Fengyang, and Father is more aware of the stakes in this matter than anyone else; he will certainly not compromise easily."

"But what if Great Shang cannot answer the three questions from Tianyu Hall?"

Murong suppressed the restlessness in her heart, sat down, and said, "I've heard that so far, the court ministers have made no progress."

"Isn't there still the Imperial Academy and the Confucian Scholar?"

Mu Bai calmly said, "If you don't trust the court ministers, don't you trust the Confucian Scholar? With his wisdom, he will surely find a solution."

"I'm afraid the Confucian Scholar won't bother with this matter."@@novelbin@@

Murong spoke with some frustration, knowing that the Confucian Scholar rarely interfered in court affairs. If he also refused to intervene this time, she would truly have to marry far away to the Western Regions.

Beside her, Mu Bai put down his teacup and said, "If you really can't rest assured, brother suggests you could ask someone."

"Who?" Murong asked.

"The top disciple of the Confucian School, Bai Wangyu," Mu Bai replied calmly.
