Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Rules Are Rigid, People Are Flexible!

Yu Shuo presented the ring to Mu Zifeng.

He said, "From today onwards, this ring belongs to you."

His voice carried a seductive charm, and Mu Zifeng slowly lowered her gaze.

She stared at the exquisite ring before her, with no visible change on her palm-sized face.

Yet, she did not reach out to take it, indicating a refusal.

The surrounding crowd felt as though their breath had stopped, facing this scene.

If Mu Zifeng were to reject this ring, the implications would be significant.

This would mean that from now on, the Mu Family would withdraw from the Cabinet.

In the marriage alliances of the Imperial Family, they never had the right to refuse.

Should they let their daughter become a concubine, they could still maneuver and protest, but the choice for the Queen must be from one of the eight families in the Cabinet.

If the selected Queen’s family were to resist, their family’s honor would be completely withdrawn.

As a member of the Mu Family, Mu Zifeng understood this clearly.

She was not refusing but hesitating, considering her options.

She didn’t understand why this handsome, elegant, and noble prince before her would choose her.

As the lady previously explained, she was not wrong.

Her health was weak and not suitable for bearing children.

She might one day lose her breath.

Mu Zifeng enjoyed living with her family, wishing to spend her remaining time with them.

If she moved into Chen Palace, her life would certainly change.

At that time, it might be difficult for her to see her father, mother, and brother.

As for other matters, she didn’t care much.

It was simply a change of residence.

For the benefit of the family, she didn’t mind these changes.

Mu Zifeng knew the rules of the Imperial Family were strict, that the current Your Majesty, Han Yong’an, chose a Queen from the Tang Family.

But this woman seemed to have never seen her family even up till her death.

Thinking that she might not be able to see her family again, Mu Zifeng raised her head, her gentle eyes watching Yu Shuo.

"If I accept this ring, can I still see my family in the future?"

Yu Shuo was somewhat surprised she asked this question; he wasn’t clearly aware that once a legitimate wife, the Queen, entered Chen Palace, she could not easily leave to see her family.

Because they bore the surname of the Imperial Family, their life and death belonged to the Han Family, prioritizing the Imperial Family’s interests.

Yu Shuo felt that seeing family was a completely normal matter.

He nodded lightly, "Yes."

Mu Zifeng’s eyes shone brightly, and a smile appeared on her pale lips: "Whenever I want to see them, I can see them?"

Yu Shuo’s tone was indifferent, "As you wish."

"Your Highness, you mustn’t!"

Just as Yu Shuo’s words fell, someone spoke out.

It was the Family Head of the Qin Family, one of the Cabinet’s eight families.

The person stepped forward and recited the Imperial Family’s rules, stating that a legitimate wife, the Queen, should not easily see her family, citing the disadvantages and risks involved.

Yu Shuo listened with a smile, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips, his voice powerful and resolute.

"Rules are lifeless; people are alive!"

Family Head Qin: "But once the legitimate wife and the family join forces, it will be detrimental to the Royal Family..."

Yu Shuo interrupted, "If that truly happens, I will make them pay a severe price!"

Confident, decisive, and bold.

He did not need to be cautious with the woman beside him.

It wasn’t that he underestimated women, but he was confident that should such a thing occur, he must use iron-fisted means to make them pay a severe price.

The seat he was destined to sit upon, the responsibilities he had to shoulder, could not be secured by merely being cautious of a woman.

Yu Shuo edged the ring closer to Mu Zifeng: "Your choice?"

Without hesitation, Mu Zifeng took the ring, her expression smiling: "I accept it."
