Chapter 3407 - 3408: Can You Compare to Him?

Chapter 3407: Chapter 3408: Can You Compare to Him?

The Madam of the State Duke could only rub her forehead helplessly; she really had no way to deal with this spoiled daughter.

Before, she’d never felt there was anything wrong with pampering her daughter. After all, she was the little Commandery Princess of the State Duke’s Mansion; a bit of temper was only natural. Whichever man wanted to marry their precious girl would just have to take it.

But now...

All for that Lin Changfeng, Yuan Yingying had kicked up such a fuss that even His Majesty had heard the gossip from the streets, and even scolded Lord State Duke over it.

If she let her daughter keep making trouble like this, who knew what would happen.

"Haven’t you caused enough trouble lately? Who in Jianan City doesn’t know you by now? Hurry up and give your mother some peace! Do you really want your father to use the family rod on you?"

"Mother!"

Yuan Yingying protested, stomping her foot right where she stood.

"How am I making trouble? Wasn’t it you who said I should hurry up and find someone I like? Well, I like Brother Changfeng now, so what’s wrong with that?"

"There’s nothing wrong with that in itself."

The Madam of the State Duke let out a light sigh. Obviously, she also felt that her precious daughter taking a fancy to Lin Changfeng was Lin Changfeng’s blessing.

But this matter now wasn’t up to her to say yes or no; if His Majesty said no, then it was no.

"But have you thought about who Lin Changfeng is? That’s someone who can move into the Elder Princess’s Princess’ Mansion at any time. How can you compare with that?"

Back then His Majesty had doted on the Elder Princess, doted on her like she was the flesh of his palm.

And Lin Changfeng was the Elder Princess’s nephew; of course His Majesty had to shield him. How could he bear to let him suffer any grievance?

What’s more, the reason Lin Changfeng had moved into the Elder Princess’s Princess’ Mansion now was clearly to hide from her precious daughter. Once His Majesty heard this, wouldn’t he be even angrier?

"Mother, it’s exactly because Brother Changfeng has moved into the Elder Princess’s Princess’ Mansion that I have to wait for him at the palace gate. That way, he can take me with him to play at the Princess’ Mansion."

Yuan Yingying said this with an utterly innocent face.

In her mind, it was beautiful: she and Lin Changfeng would have a chance encounter at the palace gate, then chat and laugh together all the way back to the Elder Princess’s Princess’ Mansion.

Then the whole of Jianan City would know about her relationship with Lin Changfeng. No one would dare compete with her, and her marriage to Lin Changfeng would basically be settled, wouldn’t it?

"Mother, you said it yourself, Brother Changfeng can live in the Elder Princess’s Princess’ Mansion. If our State Duke An’s Mansion can form a marriage alliance with the Princess’ Mansion, in the future in Jianan City, who could possibly rival us?"

"You—"

The Madam of the State Duke almost choked on her own breath when she heard this.

She had never imagined her daughter would be this bold, actually dreaming of forming a marriage alliance with the Princess’ Mansion. Why didn’t she just go ahead and fall for the little Commandery Prince of the Princess’ Mansion instead?

"You are going to stay properly at home for me, and you’re not allowed to go anywhere!"

With that, she turned around and left.

"Mother, Mother!"

Yuan Yingying called after her twice, but got no response.

She turned around in anger and glared at the several servants standing properly guarding the gate, knowing full well that there was no way she’d be leaving through this door today.

"Hmph, fine, I won’t go then!"

With that, she spun on her heel and went back.

Of course, not long after, Yuan Yingying appeared again at the corner of a wall, tilting her head back to stare up at the tall wall.

"So I can’t go out through the main gate, big deal. It’s not like I can’t climb walls." As for wall-climbing, she’d been doing that since she was little; it was nothing more than lifting a foot.
