Mei Wanying was unwilling to return to the capital, unwilling to marry Pei Yan.
Empress Gu found it unbelievable.
'Isn't this what she wanted most?'
'She shamelessly chased Ah Yan for years. Wasn't it all just to marry him and become his official wife?'
'Now the opportunity was right in front of her, yet she failed to appreciate it.'
Empress Gu truly had no idea what Mei Wanying was thinking.
"She's so set on throwing her own tantrums, but can't she consider the child? Is she going to ruin her child's future?"
Empress Gu had already received the news that Mei Wanying gave birth to a daughter.
But that didn't matter. As long as the baby hadn't been shown in public, there was still room to maneuver.
They could just bring in a baby boy and pass them off as boy-girl twins.
That way, Mei Wanying wouldn't have to be separated from her own flesh and blood.
And she herself could see her little granddaughter every day.
