Chapter 167: 111: He also wants a younger sister like Su Liu girl

After Su Xinyi left, Shang Junyan sat alone, her words echoing in his head over and over again. He found it hard to imagine how she endured under such circumstances, given her strong-willed nature.

He had never expected his own mother to be so ruthless, or that she would deliberately humiliate Su Xinyi in front of the Empress to demonstrate their family's determination to ally themselves with the Guangping Prince's Mansion through marriage.

Shang Junyan used to be able to claim ignorance, but now he found it difficult even to use that as an excuse.

Why didn't he know?

It was because he did not consider Su Xinyi as his wife, but merely a woman he disliked and was forced to marry.

His dislike led to a refusal to understand her, unwillingness to consider her feelings, and a failure to consider how his own cherished family would treat her.

Shang Junyan rubbed his face hard, trying to clear his head. Fortunately, in this life, Su Xinyi had escaped.
