But now she realized that this man was different from what she thought. It turned out that he cared so much about a woman, and cared that he was willing to let everyone in the world know that he liked Yun Qinghuan, and no one else wanted it.

She couldn't describe how painful Shen Peiyao was, but she couldn't help laughing, and then slowly took out the scissors that had been prepared from her sleeve and said lightly: "The prince is right. I ruined the engagement first, and I can't blame the prince. I have to go to jail if my parents and brothers are not married at the age of 20. Unfortunately, I don't have parents and brothers, so I don't want to go to jail. So from today, I will cut off my hair, which is also a punishment for myself." As she said that, she grabbed the scissors and cut off her black hair under the screams of everyone.

When the second cut was cut, the Empress Dowager had already ordered someone to go up and seize the scissors from her hand. She even hurried down and took Shen Peiyao into her arms, crying with tears in her eyes, "You silly girl, why bother? You are the niece of the Ai family. Even if the prince doesn't marry you, the Ai family will make a decision for you and help you find a good family. Why are you so unfaithful?"

Shen Peiyao always held back her tears. She buried her face tightly in the empress dowager's chest, "Auntie, don't stop me, okay? Since I was thirteen years old, I received the order to marry, and there was no other man in my life. Now the prince doesn't want me anymore. I would rather stay with the ancient Buddha of Qinglan and live alone than marry someone else."

Seeing Shen Peiyao so determined, the empress dowager was even more reluctant. She sighed helplessly, "Silly girl, since you are so determined, the Ai family has to put down this old face to help you beg for the prince." As she said that, she let go of Shen Peiyao and said to Murong Jin: "Prince, Yao'er has already made up her mind to not marry you. If the prince insists on not marrying her, wouldn't he force her family? Our Shen family has only this bloodline. Can the prince marry Yao'er for the sake of the Ai family? The Ai family knows the prince's thoughts towards the ninth girl, so it's better to marry the two together, both as princesses, regardless of the difference, okay?"

This condition should be very good. Marrying two beauties at a time can be considered a blessing for all people. So everyone present thought that the Queen Mother’s proposal was desirable, and even the emperor who had never been in troubled waters advised Murong Jin.

But Murong Jin stood up slowly, walked to Shen Peiyao, and smiled gently, "Why did Miss Shen not marry? If I remember correctly, I met Miss Shen only a handful of times, and I said very few things. Miss Shen knew how much I knew, so she decided not to marry? Is this decision too hasty?"

Shen Peiyao held the corner of her clothes tightly, but she didn't dare to look up at such a man. Her daughter, the daughter of Duke Shen, is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and is also the one who was once praised as the number one talented woman in the capital. How could she ever disregard her face and embarrass herself so much for a man?

But, she really can't be without such a man!
