Marrying Gold and Jade

The divorce issue was brought directly to the government office, and as it involved the residence of the Marquis of Chengping, the case was directly transferred to the provincial government office.

Mingyuan told her that if she wanted to divorce, the right time, place and people were all necessary.

The prefect is a temporary official who is transferred every three years. He will return to Beijing to report on his work at the end of this year. However, the past three years have been peaceful and he has made no achievements. The current emperor likes to hear about this kind of marriage lawsuit the most. If the judgment is good, the prefect can show his face in front of the emperor, so he is naturally willing to side with her.

The Chengping Marquis's Mansion has been in decline and has no foundation in the court. Tan Jinghe is used to stirring up trouble and has offended many people over the years. The Tan family's face is not that easy to use.

Lin Yu gave three thousand taels of silver to Ming Yuan and asked him to talk to the county magistrate. After everything was arranged, she took Dan Niang and others to the government office to file a complaint.

She told Tan Jinghe that he had divorced his wife and remarried, saying that he already had her as his legal wife, but he had "formally married" Dan Niang outside.

When the marriage certificate was taken out, Tan Jinghe naturally refused to acknowledge it. "I am clearly taking a concubine! A concubine! Didn't you, Lin Yu, agree to let her marry in?!"

Lin Yu just said: "But I didn't know you had a marriage certificate. You deceived all of us, making me think you were taking a concubine and Dan Niang thought you were marrying a wife, and you even welcomed her home openly!"

Lin Yu gave Dan Niang a thousand taels of silver and spent some time on socializing with her, making this prostitute feel loyal to her.

"I testify that this Tan and I signed a marriage certificate and even sealed it with a red seal at the county government office!"

This red seal was naturally also purchased. Lin Yu had lived in seclusion for a long time and almost didn't know that everything in the government office was clearly marked with prices.

There was both human and material evidence, and a lot of connections had been made. The prefect was also eager to become famous, so he banged the gavel and asked Lin Yu what he wanted.

She was tense for several days, and finally she could say: "I want to divorce him."

She really divorced him in court.

The first person who rushed up to scold her was not even named Tan, but Lin Jianchang. He said in public that she was a disgrace and accused her husband of being unfaithful to her husband. Ruan could no longer bear it and this time she directly stood on her daughter's side.

Under the returning carriage, a familiar tall figure was waiting for her.

"Miss, I did it."

Lin Yu didn't know why, but she felt like crying when she heard his voice. If it wasn't in broad daylight and in public, she really wanted to hug Ming Yuan and cry.

"You can't go back to the Lin family for the time being, Miss, don't worry. The dowry you brought with you when you left is not small, and the farmhouse and shops are all complete. I have already rented a house for you in advance, and you can buy it if you like it."

Even if she couldn't go back to her parents' home, Lin Yu would not be left with nowhere to go. She took Zhu Lian, Qing Dai and Ming Yuan and moved into a temporary rented house.

Mingyuan had decorated that place before, just like the Moon-Watching Pavilion that Lin Yu had decorated before leaving the palace. There were two persimmon trees in the front yard and a red maple forest in the back yard. As for the peach blossoms and magnolias, if Lin Yu liked this place, it would not be too late to transplant them.

As for Lin Yu, she had seen the young man's scheming and tactics when they divorced. Not only could he guess the governor's thoughts, he could even tell the emperor's preferences, and he could calculate every detail. This was a skill that a little servant could not have.

So on the day when she settled down and bought the house, she took out another three thousand taels of silver and placed it in front of the people.

"I know you are not an ordinary person. I have been disrespectful to you before. Take these travel expenses and go out to earn a name for yourself."

She didn't dare raise her eyes when she said this. She really did have a kind heart, but she was also really reluctant to leave.

She had been in bed with someone, and the man treated her tenderly and attentively, and was loyal to her. But the more this happened, the more she felt that she could not delay him.

"You are still young now, in the future..."

"Miss, what do you think I'm helping you for?"

There were only the two of them in the hall. Mingyuan interrupted her and knelt in front of her as usual.

An arm thicker than her thigh was raised, and Lin Yu was encircled into the chair.

The boy, who had always been gentle and respectful, no longer needed to hide the aggression in his eyes. He exposed his desires and ambitions clearly in front of the woman he admired.

"I don't want fame, I just want you."

Tears welled up in Lin Yu's eyes. She knew Ming Yuan's thoughts to some extent, but she just regarded it as youthful impetuosity and did not think it through.

After all, even though she was divorced amicably, she could not escape the reputation of an "abandoned woman" in the eyes of others. If she wanted to get married again, it would be like marrying for the second time, and people would talk about her for the rest of her life.

"but I……"

"Shh-"

Ming Yuan could see through her uneasiness. He put his knuckles on her lips and asked with a smile, "Miss, if you really want to repay me, how about giving yourself to me?"

"It's also okay for me to marry into the family."

That night she was sweating profusely on the pillow again. Perhaps it was because her first marriage made her too disappointed, so she became wary of this overly perfect man.

What does he want? Can you afford it?

Lin Yu had a premonition that if she was betrayed again after giving her her true heart this time, she would probably be so miserable that she would not be able to live.

"A Yuan, A Yuan..." She cried and hugged him, "Don't lie to me."

Ming Yuan originally planned to abandon his identity completely, but for Lin Yu's peace of mind, he chose to tell everything.

He placed the damaged Panlong jade pendant in Lin Yu's palm and explained clearly why he left the palace, how he came to Songjiang, and most importantly, his future plans.

There is a world of difference between the emperor and the servants. But if there is Lin Yu, he is not afraid of falling from the clouds.

"I don't plan to recognize my ancestors. I am just an orphan without a father or a mother. Can Miss Yang invite me to marry into your family?"

This was the second time he mentioned this tonight, and Lin Yu was sure that he was not joking.

Marrying a prince into your family... It feels like raising a dragon in your own pond instead of raising koi fish.

But fortunately, to outsiders, this dragon is just a koi.

Lin Yu did not answer that night, but after that, Mingyuan began to frequently go in and out of her bedroom.

Sometimes when the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, he can stay in someone's room all night.

Lin Yu actually gave in a long time ago. She was not an innocent girl. Sometimes she felt uncomfortable seeing him holding back. But Ming Yuan insisted that he would not agree until she agreed to the marriage. This made her look impatient.

She also expressed her confusion for the first time and asked him if he had had other women before, which was why he was so familiar with her.

At this time, the two of them had already opened their hearts to each other. Ming Yuan whispered in her ear: "I have done it to you thousands of times in my dreams."

"what!!"

Lin Yu immediately covered his ears and looked him up and down.

Is this still her docile and obedient little servant? He can even say such frivolous words!

But he was really good at scheming. He flirted with her and then admitted his mistake, which made Lin Yu unable to bear to pursue the matter.

At the end of the year, she finally gave in and decided to get married.

Lin Yu had witnessed the dramatic changes in men before and after marriage. She was looking forward to it, but also worried, fearing that all crows in the world are black, and her A Yuan would not be able to escape the same rut.

But I didn’t expect that the first difficulty would happen inside the red silk tent on the wedding night.
