The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows and sighed: "After all, you still want to swallow my dowry."

Qi Xingzhou gritted his teeth and snorted angrily: "This is all your fault!"

The Marquis' wife has already asked people to prepare paper and is serious about divorcing Ruan Shuyan.

He sneered: "This dowry is the compensation we deserve, don't even think about taking any of it away!"

Ruan Mingcheng clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and blow these people's heads off, but he was held down tightly by Ruan Shuyan.

If they really fought, they would be in the wrong.

Qi Xingzhou wrote quickly and had already drafted a divorce letter. He threw it in front of Ruan Shuyan with a cold look on his face.

"Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, go ahead and leave! But I also want to tell you one thing, if you leave today, you will never be able to enter my mansion again!"

The marquis's wife's eyes sparkled as she directed her men to drive them out.

"Hurry up and take the divorce letter and get out of the mansion, or you will dirty the door lintel of my mansion!"

As for Ruan Shuyan's dowry and the people she brought with her, they would naturally be confiscated.

Ruan Mingcheng came to take his sister away, but not in this way.

How could his pure and innocent sister endure such humiliation!

But they are just merchants and cannot compete with the marquis's mansion.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a sharp and loud shout was suddenly heard from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Ruan Shuhuan held Qi Xingzhou's hand with a look of joy on her face: "Could it be that the emperor is also here to present a gift for our wedding?"

After all, Qi Xingzhou had just put down a bandit problem some time ago, and the emperor was about to reward him.

Now it’s really a double happiness!

Qi Xingzhou's eyebrows moved slightly, he had the same thought in his mind, and a bit of pride and arrogance appeared on his face involuntarily.

He couldn't help but glance at Ruan Shuyan, thinking that she was only making a fuss about leaving because she didn't have the position of legal wife. When he became successful in the future, he was afraid that even if she begged to be his concubine, he wouldn't even look at her.

Qi Xingzhou raised his eyebrows proudly, and immediately ordered people to prepare an incense table and a series of things for receiving the order. Then he led the people in the marquis's mansion to kneel in the main courtyard to receive the order.

The emperor's trusted eunuch Su Sheng came quickly with a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

Next to him walked a young man wearing a fourth-rank navy blue official uniform. He was as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, with broad shoulders and a slender waist. His face was as handsome as jade, his eyebrows and eyes were as handsome as distant indigo mountains, and his temperament was as cold and noble as the white snow in the mountains.

This person is Xie Chunyu, the new number one scholar and Ruan Shuyan's original fiancé.

As soon as he came in, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Ruan Shuyan.

Although the situation was pressing, the woman still stood tall and straight, like the plum blossoms blooming on the branches in the cold winter, cold, proud and clear.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Eunuch Su looked at the faces of the people in the courtyard with a half-smile: "The Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion is really lively today."

Qi Xingzhou's face flashed with embarrassment, and he cupped his hands: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir!"

"Ruan Shuyan, the second daughter of the Ruan family, planned a marriage swap. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and corrected the situation. Now my mansion cannot tolerate such a vicious woman. I will divorce her!"

When he said this, he also glanced at Xie Chunyu on purpose.

With a bit of pride.

Ruan Shuyan was already a woman he had divorced, and he didn't believe that Xie Chunyu would still be willing to pick up a slut.

Xie Chunyu's brows sank, as cold as the moon, and she stared at him coldly.

"Divorce?" Eunuch Su chewed on the words and smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "As far as we know, Ruan Shuyan's original husband was not Prince Qi, right?"

He sighed: "But it is also true that a blessed girl will not marry an unlucky man, and Miss Ruan will not marry into the Marquis's mansion. It is all fate."

What does this mean?

Qi Xingzhou frowned. For some reason, Eunuch Su's smile made him feel strange and uneasy.

However, Eunuch Su said no more and went straight to reading the imperial edict.

What was surprising was that Xie Chunyu, who followed the eunuch who announced the imperial edict, also knelt down.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: This is a troubled time, with floods in the south, and the people are displaced. Fortunately, the merchant Nguyen family has donated two gold mines to help pay for the resettlement of the displaced people and save the people from the dire straits. I am grateful for the Nguyen family's sincerity and loyalty, and for their contributions to Daqian, and I specially award the Nguyen family the title of the first-class imperial merchant."

Qi Xingzhou's pupils suddenly constricted and he clenched his fists.

Gold mines! The Ruan family actually donated two gold mines!

Compared with this achievement, his elimination of a small bandit nest of more than 20 people is simply not worth mentioning.

The other people in the Marquis' Mansion were so jealous that they almost vomited blood.

Two gold mines at once, what a heroic act!

The Marquis's wife was filled with eagerness.

No way! She said she would never let go of Ruan Shuyan, this sweet girl.

Even giving her the position of legal wife is not impossible!

Eunuch Su continued, "Ruan Shuyan, the daughter of the Ruan family, is beautiful and intelligent, with both talent and virtue. I also heard that the new champion Xie Chunyu has brilliant literary talent, noble character, and gentlemanly demeanor. The two are truly a match made in heaven. I now grant Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun a marriage, wishing that the two will be together forever and grow old together. I also grant them a thousand acres of fertile land, ten thousand taels of gold, a pair of green ruyi, and a golden dress..."

Next, Eunuch Su read out a series of names of rewards.

The Marquis’s wife almost fainted from anger.

The emperor actually personally granted them marriage! What a great honor this is, what hope does her son have? !

If not, if not for Xie Yuchun's interference, the Ruan family's mountains of gold and silver would have belonged to their Marquis' Mansion!

That is a huge fortune that Qi Xingzhou could never earn no matter how many enemies and bandits he killed!

Besides, as long as you have money, you won’t have to worry about not being able to establish connections in Beijing!

Ruan Shuhuan's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why could Ruan Shuyan, an abandoned woman who married into a marquis's mansion, receive such favor and marry the number one scholar?

Although Xie Chunyu died early, he is still considered a new upstart in the court. She doesn't want her to take advantage of him!

Eunuch Su finished reading the imperial edict.

Xie Chunyu and Ruan Shuyan accepted the order and expressed their gratitude almost at the same time.

"Your servant Xie Chunyu (Ruan Shuyan) thanks the Lord for His great grace!"

Ruan Shuyan held the bright yellow imperial edict in her slender fingers, looking calm and composed, unperturbed by fame or disgrace.

In fact, my heart was in turmoil.

She thought that if she left the Marquis' Mansion today, the worst result would be that she would have a ruined reputation and spend the rest of her life in her parents' home.

She had no intention of getting married anyway.

She never expected that the emperor would grant her another marriage with Xie Chunyu.

She couldn't help but look up at Xie Chunyu, only to see that he was looking at her with a gentle look in his eyes and a hint of smile.

For some reason, Ruan Shuyan's face suddenly felt hot when he stared at her like that.

She deliberately identified the beginning.

Ruan Mingcheng was really happy for her. He knew that his mother, Mrs. Bai, asked him to come to the Marquis' Mansion first because she must have a backup plan. He never thought that she was asking for an imperial decree for his younger sister!

Although it was exchanged for two gold mines, these mere possessions are nothing compared to his sister's lifelong happiness!

"Great! With this imperial decree granting marriage, the Marquis' Mansion will not dare to use the marriage exchange to hold you hostage!"

A warm smile appeared on Ruan Shuyan's face, and her beautiful face looked even more charming.

Qi Xingzhou felt uncomfortable seeing this.

She actually had no opinion on this matter. Did she really want to marry Xie Chunyu, and the marriage exchange at the beginning really had nothing to do with her?

He just felt a bitter feeling creeping into his heart, an indescribable pain and sourness.

Ruan Mingcheng thanked Eunuch Su, then turned around in high spirits and ordered his men to take away all of Ruan Shuyan's dowry, leaving not even a piece of rag for their mansion.

"Wait! We can't move, we can't move!" Mrs. Hou couldn't bear it any longer, she lowered herself and held Ruan Shuyan's hand, tears streaming down her face.

"Shuyan, it's all because Qi Xingzhou is a fool and doesn't know what's going on. In fact, he loves you in his heart. At worst, we can make you his legal wife!"
