The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

“I was negligent, please forgive me, Emperor! However, this marriage was disclosed to me by Marquis Su and Madam Wu. 1 only intended to facilitate matters as they were presented.” The empress gritted her teeth and glared at Madam Wu and her daughter.

These two inept individuals managed to make a mistake even after rehearsing the scenario!

“Regardless of whether Imperial Brother bestows the marriage or not, it’s crucial to establish the facts. Su Hao is the grandson of Old General Su and the foremost among our dynasty’s young generals. His reputation and prestige should not be casually tarnished by anyone.” Chu Yihan stood beside Su Hao, his eyes gleaming with an icy resolve.

Chu Mingyuan nodded. “Ninth Brother is correct.”

He began by questioning Su Hao. “Su Hao, do you and Miss Wu share mutual affection? Are both families discussing the marriage?”

Su Hao stood upright and knelt. His handsome face carried a profound seriousness. “Emperor, I am not familiar with Wu Ruofei. However, on the day of the medical dispute, when I regained consciousness, I found Miss Wu in a disheveled state. My father and Lord Wu had rushed over, making it difficult for me to deny the circumstances. As for the marriage… As a general, there is still unrest at the border, and my grandfather has not yet returned. I dare not make a unilateral decision.”

Chu Mingyuan’s brows furrowed slightly. He highly valued Su Hao’s martial prowess and abilities, as well as his character. He chose to believe Su Hao’s words.

However, Wu Ruofei cried out, “It’s not like that! Brother Hao treated me that way because he cared for me! I want to marry him! I want to be his wife!” “Silence! As a young lady from a respectable family, haven’t your parents taught you about propriety, righteousness, and integrity?” Chu Mingyuan didn’t take kindly to Wu Ruofei. “How can you aspire to be a general’s wife with your current behavior? I will not grant you this marriage!”

“Emperor! Miss Wu is innocent and naive. Her feelings for Young General Su are genuine. After all, they have already had physical contact. If Young General Su does not decide for Miss Wu, how can she marry in the future? Just because Su Hao is a young general, does that mean he can disregard his responsibilities?” The empress inwardly cursed Wu Ruofei for her foolishness but had no choice but to speak up on her behalf.

Chu Mingyuan found himself in a dilemma. “Su Hao, did you truly have physical contact with Miss Wu?”

Su Hao’s expression darkened. “I was drugged on that day and don’t recall events leading up to it, but 1 would never violate a woman. 1 am not someone who dares to act but not to admit it.”

“General Su’s lack of memory does not provide certainty about his actions or inactions. Rumors among the people cannot be dispelled solely by General Su’s words,” Chu Chengye deliberately added.

Although Chu Chengye had no personal grievances with Su Hao, he was determined not to let the siblings have it easy since Su Yingxue had made things difficult for his mother.

Chu Mingyuan acknowledged Chu Chengye’s point. “Ye’er’s words make sense. If there were no such incident, why would there be rumors among the common people?”

“Emperor…” Su Hao was becoming increasingly anxious.

“I vouch for Su Hao that he did not engage in any inappropriate actions,” Chu Yihan stated firmly.

Chu Chengye glared at him. “Uncle, you didn’t witness it firsthand. How can you vouch for him?”

“Because I trust him.” Chu Yihan turned to face Chu Chengye, his eyes chillingly sharp, akin to a thousand blades thrusting at Chu Chengye.

Chu Mingyuan also had some misgivings because of Chu Yihan’s words.

Chu Yihan commanded a substantial military force and held significant prestige within the army. No general in the imperial court would doubt Su Hao if he vouched for him.

Furthermore, Old General Su, who was far away at the border, would not let Su Hao be wronged..
