The yandere is too beautiful; the fake heiress sneaks kisses through the window every day.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, born with the destiny of an emperor. She has a natural affinity with animals. Even the king of beasts has submitted to her. What is so surprising about taming a wild cat?" Qingyu calmly and coldly defended Jiang Yu.

As she listened to their increasingly outrageous statements, Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but marvel at the incredible detail of the mental world they had constructed.

No longer concerned about whether Jiang Yu could understand animal language, Jiang Mingyue sent them back to the Jiang family and left.

There's a ton of stuff waiting for her to get back and deal with.

Following behind Jiang Yu, Qingyu was deep in thought with a serious expression.

"Her name is Bai Qiuyue, she has the ability to communicate with animals, and that face... Your Majesty, could she be...?"

Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and said icily, "Go and investigate."

"If it turns out she really is that person, do we need to?" Qingyu made a grimacing gesture and asked in a low voice.

"No need, I'll go and meet her myself." Jiang Yu's lips curled into a cold, sharp smile.

As they were talking, the two stepped into the room and looked up to find a group of people sitting in the living room.

Upon seeing Lu Zhenhua and his group opposite Jiang's parents, the first thought that popped into Jiang Yu's mind was...

Did they know that the Queen was hidden here?

Are they here to steal the Queen?

"Xiao Bao is back?" Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Yu as if she had seen a savior.

Once she was sure the Empress wasn't in the living room, Jiang Yu walked over and sat down beside her, coldly observing the three people opposite her and the bodyguards behind them.

Lu Zhenhua still wore a friendly smile, while Lu Zhenxi glanced at Jiang Yu with eager joy before sadly and shamefully avoiding her gaze. Lu Miao still maintained her gentle and serene demeanor.

However, the gaze that fell on Jiang Yu carried a somewhat ambiguous meaning.

"Why are they here?" Jiang Yu asked coldly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu was so direct. Jiang's mother panicked for a moment and explained in a low voice, "Xiao Bao, your Uncle Lu and the others are here to discuss the marriage."

"Wedding? Whose wedding?"

"Of course, it's about Zhenxi and Mingyue's marriage," Lu Zhenhua said with a smile, completely ignoring Jiang Yu's gaze as she looked at her cowardly father.

He spoke in a seemingly gentle but actually firm manner.

"The marriage between our two families was arranged by our two grandfathers, so we naturally have to follow their wishes. We are also very satisfied with Mingyue. Now that both children have reached marriageable age, it's time for their weddings to take place."

"We've done the math, and we're thinking of having them get engaged next week and married next month. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"

Father Jiang gave a sheepish laugh, about to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Yu.

"Not good," Jiang Yu said coldly and domineeringly to Lu Zhenhua.

Lu Zhenhua's smile turned colder, and he finally looked at her properly, saying with a smile, "Yu girl, I'm asking your father. Besides, how can you make decisions for your sister?"

"I'm the boss in this house," Jiang Yu declared domineeringly, her cold eyes sweeping over everyone opposite her.

Lu Zhenhua's face instantly turned ugly, while Jiang's parents obediently hid behind Jiang Yu without saying a word.

"Jiang Yu, I know you've liked my brother since you were little, but the one who's engaged to my brother is the real daughter of the Jiang family, so why are you so persistent?" Lu Miao immediately portrayed Jiang Yu as an unreasonable person who couldn't have the love she wanted.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenxi's eyes lit up.

If Xiao Yu persists, will there be a chance for things to turn around?

Lu Miao's tea aroma even bothered Jiang Yu. She gave her a cold glare and sternly reprimanded, "Shut up! Did I tell you to speak?"

Lu Miao, who had been scolded, quietly clenched her fists.

"Yu girl, even if you like Zhenxi, the marriage between our two families is arranged for Zhenxi and Mingyue. No matter how much you try to stop them, it's no use. Their marriage is just a matter of time. You have to look forward." Lu Zhenhua said words that seemed to be persuasion but were actually threats.

"Marriage? Did the parties involved agree?" Jiang Yu scoffed at his threat and gave a cold laugh.

"Don't worry, Zhenxi will definitely agree," Lu Zhenhua said with a smile.

Lu Zhenxi opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he met Lu Zhenhua's warning gaze, he closed his mouth again and sat opposite Jiang Yu, looking at her with a melancholy and sadness.

Silence means admission.

Jiang Yu glanced at them and scoffed disdainfully.

"Who asked him? His opinion is not important. What's important is what Jiang Mingyue thinks."

Jiang Yu took out her phone and dialed Jiang Mingyue's number in front of everyone.

Jiang Mingyue, who was driving, frowned subconsciously when she saw the familiar note "Fish to be caught".

Ask questions immediately after the call is connected.

"What's wrong with you now?"

"This time it's not me." Jiang Yu looked at the person opposite her, a slow smile playing on her lips. "I heard you're getting married?"

"Who said that?" Jiang Mingyue asked, puzzled.

"I heard you're getting engaged next week and getting married next month," Jiang Yu said with a smile.

"Who's spreading rumors about you?" Jiang Mingyue asked in a cold and displeased tone.

Jiang Yu smiled and slowly said, "The Lu family."

"Are they crazy?" Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but curse angrily, and slammed the phone down.

After the phone call ended, the atmosphere in the living room became cold and eerie.

"It seems the bride isn't too keen. Let's discuss the engagement another day. Qingyu, see the guests out." Jiang Yu casually glanced up and dismissed them.

Qingyu stepped forward and looked coldly at the Lu family. "Everyone, please."

Lu Zhenhua's face was ashen, and he glared angrily at Jiang's father.

"Mr. Jiang, don't you have anything to say?"

"Actually, although there is an engagement, isn't free love encouraged now? If the child doesn't want to, we can't force him, can we?" Mr. Jiang said, sounding both simple-minded and helpless.

This infuriated Lu Zhenhua. He stood up and snorted angrily, "Fine, fine, the Jiang family, humph."

Furious, Lu Zhenhua stormed off with his men.

After they left, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Who understands? Being scared into silence by a group of strangers in your own home, you can only whine and hope your daughter will come home soon.

Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang Yu cautiously a few times, then leaned closer and whispered, "Xiao Bao, tell Mommy, do you still like Xiao Lu?"

Jiang Yu stepped back in shock. "Are you trying to destroy me, destroy this family?"

Do you know how difficult it is to appease the Empress when she throws a tantrum?

Jiang Mingyue: Don't mimic me!
