Ye Shen hadn't even started to cry when he heard his aunt say, "Even my little follower doesn't want to marry his daughter to Little Shen anymore."
The "little follower" his aunt referred to was Ye Shen's uncle.
He was also the Monarch of S Country.
S Country is a constitutional monarchy.
Ye Shen's aunt was named Tang Zhou,
his uncle was named Song Chenmo,
and his cousin was named Song Tangtang.
Ye Junqing glanced at his younger son, who was in agony, then said to Tang Zhou, "In your family, do you call the shots, or does your little follower call the shots?"
Tang Zhou, brimming with arrogance, thumped her chest. "Of course it's me! I am the beloved Empress, second to none in S Country except for one!"
Ye Junqing said, "Well then, if you call the shots, you can decide your daughter's marriage. I'm asking you, will you listen to me or to your little follower?"
