Alas, He Ying's heart belonged to another, and he had not even the slightest interest in her.
Because of his indifference, her deep affections only amounted to annoyance and disgust for him.
Especially since she dared to set her sights on Sang Yan.
The mockery in He Ying's eyes deepened, and he sneered coldly, "It wasn't I who asked you to stay, it was the Empress who, out of consideration for Ms. Lin's face, allowed you to remain in the palace a while longer. Sang Ruoshui, I have no time to watch your acting. You'd best put away your little tricks and behave. Once Ah Yan and I are married, I'll find an excuse to send you out of the palace. By then, it will still not be too late to be grateful to Ah Yan. If you stir up any more of those vulgar schemes, don't blame me for not showing the Sang Family any respect!"
In truth, he did not fear the ministers pointing out issues with Sang Yan, it was just that he couldn't bear for them to pick on her.
