Chapter 5337: Unwavering Judgment

This small gesture seemed to strike his heart, making it inexplicably impossible for him to look away.

The madams and young ladies present were also deeply moved and grateful, nodding repeatedly. "The Crown Princess's consideration is indeed thoughtful."

"Since this Fourth Young Master Fu has already expressed his true love like this, their union should be expedited."

"Yes, yes, the Crown Princess is absolutely right."

Miss Yang gracefully curtsied to the Crown Princess, her face filled with gratitude. "Your Highness, you have worried and toiled for the young ladies in our capital, and we are all immensely grateful."

Bao Cuiping swayed, utterly dumbfounded.

The little Crown Princess then spoke again, "Why aren't you quickly lifting Miss Bao and sending her back to her residence? Look at her, she can't stand steadily after all these times. How pitiful!"

The little stoic shook her head, tutting. "It must be due to a lack of nutrition in the womb during childhood. That's why, as an adult, her cerebellum developed unevenly. She wobbles a bit when she walks. Hurry and take her back; she truly needs to take good care of her health, otherwise, childbirth will be extremely difficult in the future. Even if she manages to give birth, it might be... alas. She'll end up with a lifetime of ailments!"

"Women truly need to be exceptionally good to themselves. Miss Bao, pay attention, take care of your body."

Everyone: "..."

You're truly vicious! Saying such things, these words will surely spread to every corner of the capital by tomorrow morning. Everyone will know that this Miss Bao was malnourished since childhood, grew up frail, and will have extreme difficulty with childbirth. It seemed the Crown Princess had warned Miss Bao to take care of her health more than once.

Who was the Crown Princess? The Great Alchemist known to everyone in the capital. The Crown Princess's alchemy skills had spread throughout the three states, even saving the Empress Dowager, who had been in a frozen state for so many years. It was clear that what the Crown Princess stated with such unwavering judgment must be true.

The madams present all sighed upon hearing this, thinking how fortunate it was that their families had always excluded the Bao family when choosing wives.

Especially Bao Cuiping's reputation, chasing Third Young Master Fu all these years, always sounded rather unseemly. Not many madams from prominent families held her in high regard. It was a good thing they didn't; otherwise, marrying someone with such congenital developmental issues would have brought terrible misfortune.

Bao Cuiping was lifted by two strong maids who emerged from behind the Crown Princess. She immediately turned pale again, foamed at the mouth, and fainted. Everyone saw that she had indeed fainted, and they became even more convinced of the little Crown Princess's unwavering judgment.

One madam secretly shook her head and sighed, "With a body like this, how will she manage the household affairs of the Changning Marquis's Residence in the future?"

"Yes, it's truly worrying for the step-madam of the Changning Marquis's Residence. After picking and choosing daughters-in-law, she ended up picking her own niece."

"And her health isn't even that good."

Everyone followed the spectacle out, watching Bao Cuiping being carried back to the Changning Marquis's Residence by the two maids. Although Fourth Young Master Fu was unwilling, he was also forced back.

By evening, an imperial decree from the Empress came down, ordering Fourth Young Master of the Changning Marquis's Residence and Miss Cuiping of the Bao family to marry immediately the next day, with no further delay.

Great Madam Bao was struck as if by lightning; upon receiving the imperial decree, she immediately fainted dead away. Miss Bao cried all night, and the next day, without any preparation, she was forcibly escorted into the bridal sedan chair. She cried and wailed as she was paraded around the city, attracting numerous curious glances.
