“Don’t listen to your two brothers. They don’t want good things for you. You must remember your mother’s words. You should have been the Crown Princess in the first place… No, the Crown Prince is going to ascend the throne tomorrow. Who was the noblest woman in the world? Wasn’t it the Empress? Besides, when your aunt was pregnant, she said that if she was pregnant with a daughter, she would marry your brother. If it’s a boy, wouldn’t you be marrying him? You are my only precious daughter, that is why you should-”

Shao Naicen couldn’t stand it anymore. He couldn’t help but say, “Mother, how can you push me like this?! Don’t mislead her. When did her aunt say that if it was a boy, she would let her sister marry him? Her aunt was only the Empress. How could she decide who the child in her stomach would marry? According to the ancestral system of Da Ling, he was supposed to be the Crown Prince and eventually become the Emperor. How dare you decide his fate from the womb?! No matter what, the Emperor and Empress Dowager would be the ones to make the final decision. Aunt only said that if it was a girl, then she would be a princess. She would let her marry into our family and marry me. But does she have a daughter?”

“That’s right!” Shao Feicen agreed. He couldn’t help but say, “Mother, why are you like this? Why don’t you take a look? When auntie was pregnant with the Crown Prince’s cousin, she didn’t even have a younger sister. It was only when the Crown Prince’s cousin gave birth that you became pregnant. However, at that time, auntie didn’t say anything, so don’t spout nonsense.”

“Stop rebelling, you two brats! You guys must answer every word I say!” Madam You was so angry that she pulled out the feather duster beside her and wanted to hit her two sons.

Shao Naicen and Shao Feicen quickly ran away.

Their mother was just a bully in the house. Once they left the house, she wouldn’t dare to hit them.

Madam You chased them to the door but did not dare to go any further. She was so angry that her face was red. It took a long time before she put down the feather duster and walked back. She smiled and asked Shao Yucen, “Yucen, do you remember what Mother told you just now?”

“Got it.” Shao Yucen nodded obediently. Her mother was doing this for her own good. Her mother was the only one who cared about her. No one else was planning for her future except her mother, who had already thought so far ahead.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Madam You could not contain her joy. “You just have to remember. Anyway, don’t bother about your two brothers. What they say is nonsense. When you become the Empress, won’t they have to suck up to you? However, they are still your brothers. When the time comes, you have to treat them better. After all, you will be in the harem. You have to have the support of your family so that you will not be alone. If anything happens, your family will sincerely help you. Look at your aunt for so many years. Didn’t she rely on the support of her family to stand so firmly in the harem? Moreover, your aunt’s eldest son is the Crown Prince. Didn’t our family help find him? Speaking of this, your aunt is heartless. It was our family who worked so hard to find the Crown Prince, but now she doesn’t even mention the matter of letting you marry the Crown Prince when you grow up. She even seems to be on that little wild thing’s side… In short, if you become his wife in the future, only show some respect on the surface. There’s no need to respect her too much.”

“Alright, I understand, Mother.” Shao Yucen nodded even more obediently.

She felt that what her mother said made sense. Her family had helped find the Crown Prince. Regardless of whether her aunt, the Empress, had said those words back then, she should have grown up and married the Crown Prince. No matter what, it should not be Jiang Yue who gets to marry him.
