Wu Ting listened to the Empress' words and obediently accepted the chosen Prince. She held in her emotion and kept control of her calm demeanor until she is within the privacy of her living quarter. All the built-up rage spilled over as she destroyed everything on sight. Her mother watched sadly while she screamed and cried out her resentment.

"Hypocrites! They claim to love me, favor me! But now they can't wait to get rid of me!"

Crying while she threw all the priceless vases, Wu Ting revealed her hidden rage.

"Ting-Ting!"

Madam Muyang stopped her daughter before she stepped on the scattered porcelain vases.

"Mother, I won't marry that Prince! I won't marry anyone but Jian-ge! I won't marry anyone if it's not Jian-ge!"

Wu Ting screamed while she fought to break free from her mother's tight hold.

"Ting-Ting! You must be patience!"

"Patience? Patience! How long must I remain patience? Until she have the child? Until I'm married off? When? When!"

"Ting-Ting" Madam Muyang held onto Wu Ting tightly. "Nothing is set on stone until that woman has her child. If she is able to have that child"

Madam Muyang turned Wu Ting over to face her.

"It's still too soon for you to grieve"

"Mother, I cannot bear this any longer. Jian-ge_"

"He will be yours" Madam Muyang said with confidence.

"How..."

"When the opportunity comes"

"When_"

"Be patience Ting-Ting"

"Mother..."

"Once that woman is gone, he will turn to you"

In tears, Wu Ting buried her face on her mother's shoulder. Madam Muyang's expression revealed an insidious glare while she gently patted her daughter's shaking back.
