Chapter 276: Refusal

However, just as Empress Dowager Yuan finished speaking, the Emperor rejected it indifferently.

"That won't be necessary."

These words were neutral and lukewarm. There was a sharpness in his tone that left no room for doubt.

Liu Shuang was stunned. She lowered her head and stood rooted to the ground.

The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense again because of the Emperor's words.

Meeting Empress Dowager Yuan's sharp and gloomy gaze, the Emperor casually flicked his sleeve and rubbed the gourd-shaped hand stove in his hand. He continued, "The Empress Dowager also said that as a father, I have to give my son some consideration."

"The Yu family's daughter won't do."

The Emperor's tone grew colder and sharper. When he reached the last few words, he was firm.

Empress Dowager Yuan's expression changed instantly. She looked at the Emperor, who was only a foot away from her, as if he was a stranger.
