Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Recalling this, Liu Ruoyu showed a look of pain.

Song Zhi didn't say anything to disrupt her thoughts, he just listened quietly.

Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

The relationship seemed to be very close, but it ended on the day when Emperor Li granted the marriage.

Emperor Li had always been aware of the relationship between the two, and when the time was right, he proposed a marriage.

The little princess was so happy that her heart began to beat hard, and the blush on her cheeks was like the warm sunset in the sky.

She clenched her fingers nervously in her sleeves and pursed her lips slightly, expectant but not daring to look up.

But there was no response from the hall for a long time.

How long exactly?

It was so long that the joy in her heart gradually faded away, and her expectations gradually turned into despair.

Then, that familiar voice rang in her ears. He said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order. I only treat the princess as my sister."

younger sister……

What a great sister.

She felt as if her heart had instantly fallen into an endless abyss, and the world was plunged into darkness.

Fortunately, her etiquette training from childhood prevented her from losing her composure in public. She heard herself stand up and say in a hoarse voice:

"Father, please don't match us up randomly. I have a brotherly relationship with the Prime Minister."

As soon as she finished speaking, she could feel the people around her stiffen.

She never called her Prime Minister.

At first she liked to call him "little brother", but later when he always urged her to study hard, she would mischievously call him "teacher".

When she had a girlish heart, she liked to call him by his full name.

Call him—Jiang Li.

These two words came out from the corner of her lips, carrying a girl's indescribable thoughts.

Now, she calls him Prime Minister.

A name that has never existed before, is unfamiliar, and has clear distinctions.

She continued without pausing, "Since the emperor wants to grant me a marriage today, I don't want to refuse him. I heard that this year's third place winner is extremely talented. How about letting him become my daughter's consort?"

Emperor Li had never expected this situation. He looked at Jiang Li in a dilemma.

But with a "crack" sound, the wine glass in Jiang Li's hand was crushed into two pieces.

The aroma of wine wafted in the air, and he stood up as steady as a rock and said, "I accidentally broke the wine glass. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

It was just a small wine glass, so Emperor Li would naturally not hold anyone responsible.

"Then I will go back and change my clothes."

Jiang Li retreated calmly with his expression as usual.

Emperor Li looked at the little princess worriedly, "Yu'er..."

Liu Ruoyu forced a smile and said, "What's wrong? Father, please grant me the marriage."

In the end, Emperor Li, who loved his daughter dearly, really agreed to this marriage.

The wedding is very tight, it's next month.

This was the little princess's own request.

She hardly saw Jiang Li during this month.

The two of them were like strangers who had never met each other before. Even if they met sometimes, they would just walk forward without looking at each other.

The little princess was always well-behaved, and no one knew that she had once cried uncontrollably in her quilt in the middle of the night.

Time quickly arrived at the wedding day.

The third place winner was truly talented and handsome. He rode on a tall horse and looked at her with joy in his eyes.

He extended his hand towards her and said excitedly, "Princess, please give me your guidance in the future."

These words were just as she imagined, except that it was someone else who said them.

The little princess suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

But the accident can come so suddenly.

The room is full of guests, toasting each other with joy.

When the guests left, the drunk groom collapsed outside the door, and her veil was lifted by someone else.

The person who lifted her veil was none other than Jiang Li, who had not spoken for a whole month.

She opened her eyes wide in fear, "Why are you... um..."

All the words were blocked back into her throat by the warm lips. His eyes were terribly dark and he pushed her down without saying a word.

No matter how hard she tried to resist, she couldn't escape. No matter how much she shouted, there was no response.

The red candle flickered, and he spent the night with her as her husband, replacing the third place winner.

Later, Liu Ruoyu thought more than once, who could tell whether the third place winner was drunk or drugged?

But the only thing that can be explained clearly is her marriage that ended in failure.

When Tanhua Lang woke up and opened the door, he saw wedding dresses all over the floor and the little princess lying on the bed.

There was no trace of the other person on the bed. She covered herself tightly with the quilt and said in a daze, "Get out."

The third place winner obviously couldn't accept it and he ran out in despair.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Li intervened, and what happened last night was not spread.

No one knows what happened last night.

Tanhualang is a good man after all. Not only did he not say anything, but for her reputation, he quickly came back and became a couple with her in name only.

It wasn't until half a year later when he brought back a woman who looked very similar to her that she knew this misunderstanding of marriage was finally over.

She wrote a letter of divorce to free the man who had won the imperial examination.

She heard the third place winner say in a voice that couldn't be any smaller, "Ruoyu, it's my fault. It was clearly me who failed to protect you, but I really can't accept it. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Tanhualang cried. It was the first and last time she saw him cry.

But what had he done to her?

He was just a victim in this farce and could not escape the calculations of the chess player.

After the third place winner left, she was the only one left in the princess's mansion.

The innocent little princess could no longer smile so sweetly, and there was a crack in her heart that was difficult to fill.

Every night, the pain is so severe that I can't breathe.

If the story ended here, perhaps everything wouldn't be so bad.

But this is just the beginning.

Two lines of tears fell from Liu Ruoyu's eyes. She clenched her fingers, almost using up all her strength.

"I can tolerate him treating me like this, but he shouldn't touch my father."

She originally thought that she would live out her life alone in the princess's mansion, but Jiang Li seemed to be addicted to it and came to see her every night after the third place winner left.

Liu Ruoyu cried and asked, "Jiang Li, why do you treat me like this? It was you who didn't want to marry me. What do you think of me?"

Jiang Li turned around, lifted her chin, and said word by word, "You owe me this."

There was disgust and hatred in his eyes. That was the Jiang Li she had never seen before.

He is no longer as gentle as the wind and the moon, nor as gentle as jade.

He looked at her viciously, as if he wanted to skin her alive.
