I just want to rob you of your luck

Xiaoyun was shocked: "What? An imperial decree came from the palace?"

This was the first time that the Lin family received an imperial edict, so she turned around and went straight into the house.

Zhong Bo hurriedly went to inform Yao.

Suddenly, the Lin Mansion became lively.

Lin Jiuer had just gotten up and packed when she suddenly received this news. She was a little surprised. Why would the palace issue an order to a merchant girl?

There were only two masters in the mansion now, she and her mother, and they both quickly arrived at the front yard.

I saw a man who looked like a eunuch standing in front of the door with two followers, holding a bright yellow imperial edict.

In this place where imperial power is supreme, she did not dare to be negligent. Looking at Yao's face, her makeup was much sloppier, one eyebrow was low and the other was high. It was obvious that she was frightened and came out without even having time to put on her makeup.

After the two men knelt down respectfully, the eunuch read out the imperial edict in a hoarse voice.

"The Emperor of Heaven and Order proclaims: I have heard that Lin Jiuer, the daughter of the Lin family, is of a virtuous character and is prudent and prudent. I hereby arrange for her to be married to Rong Qingchen, the son of Marquis Jingyuan. I order you to discuss and choose an auspicious date for the wedding. I decree this!"

Lin Jiuer then realized that it was the imperial decree granting her and Prince Rong a marriage. Prince Rong was really powerful as he even got the emperor's decree.

She quickly accepted the order and expressed her gratitude.

He winked at Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyun stepped forward and stuffed purses into the pockets of each of the father-in-law.

The purse of the man who announced the decree was empty, but it contained a hundred taels of silver notes, and the smiles of the eunuchs became much more sincere.

The person who announced the decree said a few words of congratulations and then took his men back to report.

Yao looked at Lin Jiuer with a complicated expression: "Jiuer, it seems that your marriage with Rong Shizi really cannot be changed now."

Lin Jiuer was quite happy: "That's good. This way some people won't bother me again."

"Lin Jiuer, you can't marry someone else!"

A sudden voice made Lin Jiuer frown. Why is this person like a dog-skin plaster?

Xiao Zijie came to the Lin Mansion early today. He didn't believe that he would not be able to see Lin Jiuer.

But what he saw was the scene where the eunuch announced the decree. He couldn't believe it. How could Lin Jiuer be married to Prince Rong?

Xiao Zijie walked out from behind the crowd watching the excitement at the door and looked at Lin Jiuer with anger and disbelief.

"Lin Jiuer, how could you abandon me after having an affair with me? We have been engaged for three years. This is the marriage contract that Uncle Lin made when he was alive. How could you marry someone else?"

Lin Jiuer was speechless. Was this person out of his mind? Did he forget that they had called off the engagement? Or did he say that on purpose?

"General Xiao, you may have forgotten. We broke off the engagement a few days ago. Your fiancée is your childhood sweetheart Qu Rouer, who is now living in your house. What are you doing in the Lin Mansion?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zijie's face turned pale with anger, but what she said was also true and he had no way to refute it.

"Jiu'er, I was wrong. I actually like you, and you are the one I want to marry the most. Let's continue with our marriage. Can Rou'er be my concubine from now on?"

"General Xiao, are you dissatisfied with the imperial edict? Do you want to disobey it? You are so brave to openly harass my prince's fiancée!"

A sharp and magnetic voice sounded, and Rong Qingchen, dressed in red, walked in.

The people at the door were frightened by his aura and stepped back to make way for him.

A group of people followed behind him, carrying a long betrothal box and followed him into the Lin Mansion.

Lin Jiuer and Yao were both shocked. Didn’t they agree not to ask for a betrothal gift?

What kind of plane is this guy using?

But why was Lin Jiuer so happy when Rong Qingchen was talking to Xiao Zijie?

When Xiao Zijie heard the voice, he turned his head and saw Rong Qingchen walking into the Lin Mansion with a long team of betrothal gifts.

He was furious but still endured it. The other party was the emperor's nephew, and even if he was a playboy, he was not someone he could afford to offend.

Rong Qingchen first gave Yao a junior's greeting: "Hello, auntie. I'm here today to propose marriage. Here is the list of betrothal gifts. Please take a look, auntie."

Yao hadn't recovered from her shock yet. She took the list with a numb expression and started reading it.

Only then did the team carrying the betrothal gifts enter the Lin Mansion.

They put the box down and opened the lid.

The box was filled with jewels and precious things, all of which were valuable and good things. There was not a single piece of inferior stuff inside.

The people watching the excitement at the door were all in an uproar. This Prince Rong was really willing to spend so much money. It was just to marry a merchant's daughter, so was it necessary to give so much betrothal gift?

Lin Jiuer looked at Xiao Zijie and said with a smile: "General Xiao, now you know why I want to cancel the engagement, right? I have been engaged to you for three years, and you haven't even prepared the betrothal gifts yet.

Not only that, you also asked me to enter the mansion as a co-wife and give my place to your childhood sweetheart. I have paid so much, but in the end I am treated like this.

So you don't have to bother me anymore. I am now the fiancée of Rong Shizi. From now on, we will go our separate ways. "

When Xiao Zijie saw the yard full of betrothal gift boxes, he felt his face burning. He was indeed not as generous as Prince Rong. When he was preparing the betrothal gifts, he was afraid that the items were too expensive and he would waste money.

But how could Lin Jiuer just give up on a relationship of several years? He was a little shocked.

Just when Xiao Zijie was about to speak, Prince Rong glanced at him coldly.

"Jiu'er, let everyone else go out, and we'll close the door and discuss the wedding arrangements."

Lin Jiuer couldn't ask for more; Prince Rong was simply her substitute for words.

"General Xiao, please come in." Lin Jiuer made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Zijie knew that there was no point in him staying here and he would only become a laughing stock.

He turned around and staggered out. When he passed Rong Qingchen, he heard his sharp voice: "From now on, she has nothing to do with you. When you meet again, remember to address her as the Crown Prince's Consort! Don't ruin her reputation! Get lost!"

Xiao Zijie clenched his fists, looked at Rong Qingchen angrily and unwillingly, and quickly walked out of the Lin Mansion.

When the onlookers saw the door was closed, they dispersed.

Some women looked at the gate of the Lin Mansion with envy and jealousy. What virtue did Lin Jiuer have? Two popular men in Shangjing were actually vying to marry her.

Is her ancestors so lucky?

There's nothing special about Lin Jiuer except that she's good-looking. How come she's so lucky!

Yao had finished reading the list, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Prince Rong, I already know about your agreement with Jiuer, thank you for helping Jiuer out.

Since it's just a show, it doesn't matter if you don't send the betrothal gift. It's too expensive. Why don't I have someone secretly send it back to you at night?"

Rong Qingchen's eyes flickered and he looked at Yao: "Aunt, can I talk to you alone?"

Lin Jiuer;? ? What's going on? Is there anything she can't listen to?

Yao glanced at Lin Jiuer with a bit of amusement, then returned to her usual enthusiasm and cheerfulness.

"Of course you can. I am so excited that I neglected the prince. Let's go to the flower hall to talk."

So Lin Jiuer watched Yao bring Rong Qingchen into the flower hall.

Lin Jiuer was speechless for a while and refused to listen.

Then she asked someone to send a pot of good tea to the flower hall and arranged for the cook to prepare lunch.

Today, Rong Qingchen had worked hard to accompany her in this big show, so of course she had to treat him well.

In the flower hall, Yao said in surprise, "Are you the Xiaochen from that year?"
