Shen Yurong felt a hint of mockery in her heart. If Princess Yongning was reluctant, how could Li Xian be willing? She feared that if Li Xian truly found out he'd been cuckolded, he might go as far as to kill his wife. The Right Chancellor, having held his position for many years, was by no means a benevolent master; such a great humiliation might prove too much to swallow. The move Princess Yongning made could very well drag Shen Yurong down with her.

No one will dare to disobey his words. At that time, I will have him issue an edict. I will go through with the wedding rituals with Li Xian, and you will be with me; the Li Family won't dare to say anything."
