After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 187 Consequences
On the way back, I was very nervous. I didn't know how this marriage would go.
My thoughts were wavering between the best and worst possible outcomes.
When I arrived at Luo Mansion, I found Wang Yuyuan waiting for me at the door of my room.
Come to think of it, if I went out without telling her, she must have been worried sick.
I didn't tell the servants where I was going. She couldn't even ask me where I was.
When Wang Yuyuan saw me coming back, she immediately came over to check if I had any injuries.
Every time I went out without telling Wang Yuyuan, she would always come to check if I was injured as soon as I got home.
Wang Yuyuan wanted to ask me where I had been, but she hadn't asked yet.
The emperor's edict has arrived.
Wang Yuyuan and I knelt down to receive the emperor's order, and the emperor cancelled my engagement with Wen Yiheng.
This made Wang Yuyuan and I smile when we heard the imperial edict.
This imperial edict made both of us very happy.
Wang Yuyuan has wanted me to cancel the engagement for a long time, but I have never done so.
When the imperial edict came today, Wang Yuyuan naturally knew very well what I had done in the morning.
The imperial edict also mentioned that the betrothal gift and things he bought for me were given to me because Wen Yiheng had done something wrong.
I don't have to return it, this is equivalent to compensation to me.
This means that even though I broke off the engagement, I still got some money, so why not do it?
Wang Yuyuan happily rewarded Eunuch Zhang with two handfuls of golden melon seeds, and Eunuch Zhang was also smiling.
Eunuch Zhang spoke to me from the bottom of his heart: "Miss Luo, please accept this imperial decree. Your blessings are still to come!"
I nodded and gave him some pumpkin seeds as well.
We were happy, but Wen Yiheng on the other side was unhappy after receiving the imperial edict.
He wasn't unhappy because he lost me.
He was just unhappy because his money was wasted.
If the emperor declares, all the things he gave me will be returned to him.
I think he will be the happiest person in this broken engagement.
He also began to feel a little unconfident. After all, what the emperor had said was still fresh in his mind.
He also found it a bit confusing that someone as good as him still didn't want him.
Wen Yiheng didn't know that it was me who asked for the decree to cancel the engagement.
He was still thinking that it was his recent behavior that angered the emperor.
I was thinking about asking the emperor for clarification at the morning court tomorrow to see if there was any room for maneuver.
Wang Yuyuan blamed me for telling her about this.
Let her solve it, there is no need for me to go to the palace in person.
I also told Wang Yuyuan that I asked the emperor to take back his words that whoever I marry will be the future emperor.
I originally thought that Wang Yuyuan would think I was stupid and scold me.
After all, my behavior is indeed considered stupid by many people.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyuan clapped her hands and cheered, saying: "In this way, my dearest will be free.
Your love no longer needs to be mixed with other interests.
You have been bound for too long in the first half of your life, and now you are finally free!"
I didn't tell Wang Yuyuan because I wasn't sure whether the emperor would agree.
The news spread quickly.
The imperial edict was requested in the morning. It was issued at noon. The news spread everywhere in the afternoon.
With the foreshadowing of what Wen Yiheng had done, many people felt that I had finally escaped from the sea of suffering.
Over the years, I have been considered a pretty good person in everyone's eyes.
There was once someone who tried his best to please Wen Yiheng because of me.
Unexpectedly, his actions made him become the most hated person by everyone step by step.
My image as a victim resonated with everyone.
There are even rumors that many women regard me as a role model and think that bad people should be filtered out directly.
Garbage will not become good things as time passes. It will only become more and more moldy and rotten as time goes by.
I also thought that I would become a negative example for everyone.
Many people think that once a woman breaks off an engagement, no one will be willing to marry her again.
The woman must have had some moral flaws, so she broke off the engagement.
My personal experience tells you that sometimes the man cancels the engagement because his problems are too serious.
That night, Wen Yichen asked someone to bring me a message, asking me to go to Zhenwei Pavilion for a small gathering in the evening.
In the evening, I went to Zhenwei Pavilion as scheduled. When I arrived, all the dishes were served.
I saw the table full of my favorite foods, so I naturally picked up my chopsticks and started to devour the meal.
After eating and drinking, I looked up and saw Wen Yichen with a smile on his face.
He looked at me with deep affection, and I was a little confused.
Perhaps Wen Yichen also noticed that his gaze on me was too scorching, so he restrained himself a little.
I was now in high spirits, and immediately asked, "Third Prince, what do you want me to do today?
Is it just as simple as just treating me to a meal?"
After hearing this, Wen Yichen sternly reprimanded me: "Where is the Third Prince here?
Now, the person sitting in front of you is Wen Yichen, not the Third Prince!"
This made me burst out laughing, but I still nodded pretending to be serious.
Then he said: "Wen Yichen, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
Wen Yichen immediately poured some tea into the cup and handed it to me.
He gathered his glasses together, motioned me to gather my glasses together, and said sincerely: "Today, let us wish Miss Luo Qingqing to get rid of Wen Yiheng, the rotten man, from now on.
Next, go and embrace the beautiful life that belongs to you!
Since you can't drink alcohol, let's have tea instead and have a nice drink!"
These words really made me happy and they really started my wonderful life.
We continued chatting for a while.
Suddenly, Wen Yichen held my hands with both hands, with pleading eyes, and asked me earnestly: "Qingqing, how about you try to consider me?
I think I am better than Wen Yiheng in every way.
My character and values are superior to his.
Please consider me, please!"
I didn't expect that Wen Yichen was so cute when he acted coquettishly towards me.
But I know it's not the time to agree to him if I show up with him now.
Everyone will wonder if he was by my side, saying or doing something to me.
Some people who don’t know the truth may think that I broke off the engagement because of his appearance.
In the end he may be cursed by millions of people.
But I don’t want Wen Yichen to be too sad.
I had to comfort her: "This matter is not appropriate now.
Let’s talk about it later!
At this point in time, we have more important things waiting for us to do.”
This time is really not suitable for romance, something important is about to happen.
Wen Yichen was a little unwilling to give up and wanted to continue asking me what the reason was.
I thought about this time in my previous life, when a horrific earthquake occurred in the city of Ba, west of Dayun Dynasty.
The earthquake buried many people in the city of Ba under the rubble.
Many people became orphans as a result, and the city of Ba almost became a deserted city.
In fact, if our rescue or disaster relief people had arrived earlier, many of those people would have survived.
In the previous life, the emperor had sent Wen Yiheng to provide disaster relief.
Wen Yiheng felt that the trip was going to be tough, so he asked me to stay in the capital.
However, he secretly took Luo Qingqing with him, and the two of them were not going to provide disaster relief.
The two took the court's money and traveled together. When they arrived in Ba, many people had starved to death.
There are not many fields in Ba City that can be used for arable land every year, and this earthquake destroyed all the food.
The food stores of every household were also buried under the ruins.
Many people starved to death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists.
These are what I will see when I look back on my life after I die.
I looked at Wen Yichen. If he had been as prepared as I was, he might have been able to save many people.
I spoke to Wen Yichen tentatively: "If, I say. A major earthquake occurs in the city in the west of Dayun Dynasty.
Many people died in this earthquake.
We are needed to provide disaster relief, do you believe it?"
Wen Yichen has always felt that I am indeed different from other people.
Sometimes I am calmer than many people. I am brave and resourceful, and many things are under my control.
Wen Yichen thought for a while and uttered two words firmly: I believe it!
This really touched me. He made me feel that no matter what I do.
Even if I wanted his life, he would give it to me without hesitation.
Wen Yichen asked me what might happen in this earthquake and what we should prepare for.
He and I sat down and talked it over in detail.
Wen Yichen had only seen earthquakes in books, and he thought it might be fake.
Unexpectedly, I was able to tell the exact location of the earthquake and the damage it caused.
I know that based on Wen Yichen's personality, he would probably arrange some people to go there in advance and let them rescue first.
Wen Yichen also has a group of secret guards. These secret guards are a gift from Zhang Youwei to Wen Yichen and they only obey Wen Yichen's orders.
These secret guards have extremely high skills and are very obedient, and they can come and go as they please.
After Wen Yichen returned, he ordered most of his secret guards to rush to Ba City without stopping.
These past few days, I have been buying gold hairpins like crazy in order to save money to give to the people of Ba City.
The imperial court provided disaster relief, but many people took kickbacks. Under such circumstances, it would be a waste of time to catch those who took kickbacks.
On the second day, at the morning court, the emperor announced that my husband might not be the future emperor of the Dayun Dynasty.
This news made everyone start to doubt what happened to Luo Wenqian.
Many people have even begun to spread the word that our family is going to fall.
Over the years, everyone has been able to give face to the Luo family because of what the emperor said.
But now, the emperor has taken back what he said. Many people speculate that we have fallen out of favor.
Wen Yiheng was the happiest person in this matter. He supported me in the beginning for this very reason.
Yesterday he was still thinking about how he should lower his posture so that he could ask for this marriage again.
Now thinking about it, this was totally unnecessary.
Now I am just an ordinary lady from a noble family.
Even the fact that everyone is willing to give me some face now is all because of the Wang family.
Not only that, the emperor also announced the abolition of Luo Wenqian and Wen Jin's positions in the court.
Although Luo Wenqian's followers came out to defend them, saying that even though Luo Wenqian and his followers had no merits, they had worked hard.
But the emperor sneered and said that this was what they both deserved, and if anyone else continued to beg for mercy, they would suffer the same fate.
The emperor had already privately investigated everything Luo Wenqian had done in the court over the years, and wrote down every single thing.
The reason why he didn't say all this in the court was simply because he didn't want the already declining Luo Mansion to decline further because of Luo Wenqian.
If the emperor told all this, there would be people with ulterior motives.
If all of this is blamed on my grandfather, the one who will get hurt will be Wang Yuyuan.
This was obviously a scene that the emperor did not want to see.
After my incident came to light, everyone stayed away from the Luo Mansion.
Although my lucky star status has not been affected, everyone's impression of me has changed.
Everyone was wondering if the Luo family had done something shameful, which implicated me in such a punishment.
The emperor has already asked someone to take care of everything that Luo Wenqian had done.
The emperor was well aware that Luo Wenqian's actions in the court over the years had made him many enemies.
Now he has gone to the mountains for reform, but these people don't know about it.
Having finally seized the opportunity, I naturally wanted to completely overthrow the Luo family. In the end, only Wang Yuyuan and I would have to bear the consequences.
Now that the emperor has dealt with it, even if someone wants to investigate, they won’t be able to find out much.
Suddenly, I became the subject of heated discussion. Everyone was wondering if my choice was too bad, which was why the emperor cancelled that sentence.
Wen Yiheng became a laughing stock.
But Wen Yiheng became more and more excited. He believed that the emperor had already designated him as the future emperor of Dayun Dynasty.
Otherwise it would be impossible. As soon as I broke off the engagement, the emperor told me this information.
Luo Qingqing was already despised by everyone, and now everyone was laughing at her endlessly.
She knew that her backer had fallen. Even when she went to find those spies to cooperate with her, she no longer mentioned the relationship with Luo Wenqian.
Instead, she directly said that she could eavesdrop on the Wang family's news in the Luo Mansion.
She was quite good at speaking, and many people believed her and gave her a lot of support.
As for me, everyone knows that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
I am still a better person in everyone's eyes.
There were also many young men from aristocratic families who wanted to come and ask to marry me, but they were all rejected by Wang Yuyuan on the grounds that there were sudden changes in her family and she didn't want to consider these things for the time being.
Many of the people who were rejected privately complained that I was too arrogant. Even in this situation, I still wanted to climb up the social ladder.
Some people also think that it is best for me not to make a choice now.
The emperor can make the Luo family decline overnight, or he can make the Luo family rise overnight.
Let’s talk about this later.
