I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

The people present were almost clapping and cheering.

The wealthy family living nearby also sent their servants out quietly to watch the fun. When they heard the servants' message, they clapped their hands and cheered.

Especially the noble ladies who had been bullied by the Princess Pingyang, they couldn't wait to go to Mu Qingyan's dock. She was really brave! For so many years, no one had been able to get an advantage from the Princess Pingyang!

Several families who were related by marriage to Princess Pingyang's family in the past wished that this old hag would be angered to death by Mu Qingyan on the spot!

Their good daughters got married and became corpses soon after.

Her son becomes a groom again two years later, while their daughter can only be buried in the dust and forgotten by the world! Is there any justice in this?

"Someone! Someone!"

Princess Pingyang slammed the cane in her hand heavily on the ground and shouted.

"Tie this bitch up and bring her with me to the palace! I don't believe the Queen Mother would allow such a bitch to marry into the royal family—"

"My dear aunt, you may have forgotten that the marriage between me and Miss Mu was arranged by the Queen Mother..."

Prince Ling's voice came from the crowd.

The people hurriedly made way for him, knelt down, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty—"

When Princess Pingyang saw Prince Ling, the arrogance on her face immediately turned into grievance, "Xiao Wu, your future daughter-in-law is really amazing! She even dared to point at my nose and curse me... How can such a woman be worthy of you!"

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that with such acting skills, even an Oscar wouldn't be enough to praise her...

Prince Ling ignored her and walked straight past her towards the woman sitting in the middle of the door of the Duke's Mansion.

Mu Qingyan stood up and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty..."

At this time, another voice was heard among the crowd, and people saw that Prince Ling was accompanied by eunuchs from the palace.

They held the imperial edict in their hands and walked up the steps. "The third lady of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, Mu Yingyu, accepts the edict—"

Yuzhan hurriedly got up, entered the mansion, and went to the backyard to deliver the message. Not long after, Mu Yingyu dressed neatly and came out to receive the order, supported by Yuzhan and Jiu Niang.

"Your humble servant Mu Yingyu respectfully listens to the imperial decree..."

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor of Da'an Jianning has issued an edict that the third daughter of Duke Fuguo, Mu Yingyu, is gifted, beautiful, and intelligent. She has established a school to teach and rescue the people from suffering. Her contributions have benefited the country and will benefit future generations. In order to commend her contributions, she is hereby granted the title of a third-rank county lady, the title of Le'an, and a fief of 100 households. In addition, she is allowed to marry freely, and no one may interfere without authorization. Otherwise, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor! This is decreed--"

Mu Yingyu was overjoyed. She raised her hands above her head and said, "I accept your order. Thank you for your grace. Long live the Lord."

The eunuch placed the imperial edict in her hand and helped her up. "I, your servant, would like to congratulate the county lady! The county lady will have to go to the palace to express her gratitude tomorrow. Don't forget..."

Mu Yingyu bowed her head and responded, "Thank you for your reminder, eunuch..."

Yuzhan stepped forward with great tact and quietly handed over a purse, "My girl, please have some tea, father-in-law. Thank you for your help..."

The eunuch was delighted and said, "No problem, no problem..."

Then he left with the palace maids.

The imperial decree on freedom of marriage was like a slap in the face to Princess Pingyang.

Now, her existence seemed extremely embarrassing. Her previous arrogance and domineering attitude were all gone, and all that was left was shame.

Especially since Prince Ling showed up, he has not even glanced at her, the so-called imperial aunt.

"Mother...this..."

"Let's go! Go back home!"

She was so angry that she refused to sit in the sedan chair and walked very fast with her cane, not showing any sign of weakness from fainting.

The people finally dared to clap their hands and shout "good".

"Thank you, sister..."

Mu Yingyu was still very weak and her face was pale.

Mu Sinian wanted to step forward, but Mu Yingyu ignored him and hid behind Mu Qingyan.

Mu Sinian wanted to get angry, but Prince Ling was standing in front of him, so he didn't dare to act rashly, "Your Majesty..."

"My Lord, please take care of your own business. I don't need your help!"

He was ordered to leave at the door of his own home.

The rooster that Mu Sinian had defeated walked into the house dejectedly.

"With this imperial edict, you can hold your head high in the future. No one dares to disobey the imperial edict. You have found a great backer for yourself..." Mu Qingyan touched her head.

Mu Yingyu's eyes turned red. "My sister led me to establish the school and help the people. I, I feel unworthy..."

"Nonsense! Didn't you also contribute? Who is the one who spends all day in the school teaching the children? Who is the one who runs around to hire teachers for them? Who arranges their daily life and makes sure they don't have to worry about anything? Your Majesty issued the imperial decree not for anyone's sake, but because you deserve it. Listen to me, stand up straight, live your own life, and never be controlled by others again! If that foolish father dares to embarrass you again, you will throw the imperial decree in his face. If it doesn't kill him, it will at least scare him to death!"

Mu Yingyu burst into laughter.

Mu Qingyan wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Okay, you are still injured, go back and lie down... You can do what you like to do only after you have healed your wounds."

She glanced at Yuzhan and Jiuniang, and they helped her in, one on each side.

"I received the news you handed over last night, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I sent a message to my brother overnight. What do you think? Is this good of me?"

Mu Qingyan smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty is very kind. How do you want me to repay you?"

"Old man...home?"

"You are of the same generation as His Majesty, aren't you an old man?"

Prince Ling was very hurt. He was only a young man, a hero, but because he was older, he became an old man in the eyes of his princess... It was so sad...

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I still want to thank you for what happened today. Tell me, how do you thank me if you need me?"

Prince Ling's eyes were ambiguous, and he spoke quietly, "What I want, I'm afraid you won't agree..."

Uh……

Mu Qingyan was embarrassed. Was this ambiguous look what she was thinking of?

Prince Ling looks serious, so his mind shouldn't be filled with love affairs, right?

She didn't dare to ask, so she could only pretend to be confused, "If the prince's request is within a reasonable range, I will definitely agree to it!"

Prince Ling sighed, "Now it's really not right, and the words are not going well..."

Well, the answer is out, it’s what she was thinking!

Someone was left in the mansion to look after Mu Yingyu, and she got on Prince Ling's carriage. "Where are you taking me? I still have a lot of things to do at Jimin Hall!"

Prince Ling took out the snacks he bought on the way and said, "After all the commotion today, you haven't had time to have breakfast yet, right? I bought these on the way, try them and see if you like them."
