Crash!

The sound of porcelain smashing against the wall rang loudly in Gu Yilong's ears. It had be aimed for he's head but luckily he had dodged in time. He knew this wasn't going to be an easy task but he didn't expect it to turn to a murder attempt!

"I won't marry him! I won't! You can't make me to!" Gu Mei Rong screamed in a high pitched voice.

"Ai Rong'er you aren't marrying him, you're just entering as a concubine, two totally different things" Gu Yilong said explained nonchalantly.

"You..." Gu Mei Rong stuttered at as she pointed at her father angrily, at a lose of words, her face got red and she picked up another vase and aimed directly at he's head.

It was a perfect shot naturally which Gu Yilong had to dodge, at least it would preserve him a few more years till he's time finally came.

"You... You unfilial rebel, you dare throw things at me" Gu Yilong hollered angrily, he's anger matching he's daughter's.

"Go and tell the Emperor that I'm an unfilial, and rebel against my parents and try to hit my father, see if he'll still have me then" Gu Mei Rong retorted angrily before waking away.

Calming down Gu Yilong quickly went after her and held her hand "Aiyoo, Rong'er no don't leave, wait let me explain".

She struggled to loosen her hand from he's grasps but failed to release herself, giving up she changed to ranting instead.

"So this is the reason you didn't want me to be with Wang Wei, just so that you could have be dressed up and sent to the palace like her pretty price for your beloved Emperor" she said angrily.

"Rong'er you and I both know that Wang Wei was nothing more than a gold digger who wanted to use you for your status, look the moment I sent him to General Zhao's camp in less than two months he married he's daughter. Other don't know the truth of the the matter but we both know that he seduced the poor girl and they were later caught in a compromising position leading to the rushed marriage. General Zhao refused to talk to me for months because he blamed me for sending such a rascal to he's camp to seduce he's daughter even though I warned him about the boy. But either way that's besides the point here, the point was that Wang Wei was no good for you" Gu Yilong explained.

Even knowing the truth about Wang Wei and knowing that she was just being unreasonable, she was still angry and couldn't help lashing out again "I don't care! You just want to have an imperial backer in the palace like all those other greedy officials want to! Then send Mei Lan or Mei Fen, they'll happily jump into the opportunity! Greedy old man, Don't bother me with your imperial struggles! I should have known you were so hypocritical when you..."

"Mei Rong!" Gu Yilong thundered darkly, fixing her with a cold glare that caused a shiver to crawl down her back. She knew she was wrong and had said the wrong thing. She was scared but tried to hide her fear by holding he's gaze and preventing her self from shivering at the intensity of he's cold gaze but the fear in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Noticing the fear hidden in her eyes, Gu Yilong's eyes soften so did he's grip but he didn't let her go.

"Mei Rong you and I know that currently we are one the most stable families in Shang, besides I have the whole Emperor's support why will I need you to enter the palace just to gain more it would only make him suspicious and lose trust in me. This is for another reason, for he's Majesty's good" Gu Yilong said calmly.

"The Emperor needs my help?!" She said sarcastically before letting out a laugh, "to do what, submit to him and warm he's bed and provide him children?! I spit on that! Wa pei! Why on Earth will he need me to Grant him children when he there already so many great beauties like Mo Shulan, Kang biyu and the rest willing to lower themselves and serve him in he's bed, then why will he want the rumored wild daughter of General Gu, who ran away from home and grew up in an army barracks filled with men and is rumored to have an ugly face. Tell me why will he need me, you're just making things up again. I won't believe you".
