Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knelt on the ground, including Pei Bailiang who was carried to the front yard on a stretcher.

Pei Bailiang had a bitter face, thinking about how to talk to Jiang Baitong about not kneeling. When he was swept by the other party's cold eyes, he was frightened and shivered, and fell to his knees.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, it's done, the bone has to be reconnected.

Pei Bailiang was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it, not daring to make a sound.

Jiang Baitong withdrew his gaze from Pei Bailiang, glanced at everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, frowned when he saw Pei Jiaojiao, and finally shifted his gaze to Shen Wanwan.

He was very curious and wondered which one the King of Qin liked more, Miss Pei or Miss Shen from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The engagement between the Xiangfu and the Anguogong Mansion was successfully cancelled because the King of Qin secretly put pressure on Prime Minister Shen, otherwise there would still be a lot of wrangling.

There are rumors outside that Prince Lin is still crazy and is obsessed with marrying a girl from the Shen family.

Of course, the person he wanted to marry was not Miss Shen Si, who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion a year ago, but Miss Shen San, who was abandoned by Prince Lin and not married.

This person is just a loser. He doesn't know how to cherish what he has, and only regrets it when he loses it. Isn't this a loser?

Jiang Baitong prayed secretly in his heart, King Qin, please don't follow the old path of Master Lin, otherwise how can I face the Queen when I pass away?

However, the King of Qin had only been to the Prime Minister's Residence once, and since then, there had been no news of him having any connection with Third Miss Shen. But even if he didn't go, his secret guards were still there. Was it really okay?

As for the one in the Marquis' Mansion, the old emperor had used the method of arranging a ghost marriage to force him to show up, but the other party didn't take it seriously at all.

But when she heard that this concubine was going to be his dowry concubine, she rushed directly to the Yangxin Palace and had a quarrel with the old emperor, which made the old emperor very angry.

After a period of silence, just when the old emperor and his old servant thought that the King of Qin had forgotten about the ghost marriage, he actually brought the crystal dumplings made by Old Nanny Mu into the palace. Do you think he doesn't care about this?

No one would believe it!

But the strange thing is that he did not ask for marriage to the girl, but for an imperial decree to annul the ghost marriage.

This will make him unable to do it.

Jiang Baitong felt that he might be too old, and that young people nowadays were too good at playing. He couldn't see through it at his age, and he really couldn't see through it.

He had been a slave for so many years and had never heard of or seen such a strange imperial edict, but the King of Qin did this for her.

For this imperial edict, the King of Qin knelt for a full hour, which made this old servant and the old emperor very sad.

If it weren't for his persuasion and coaxing, the King of Qin would have really knelt for a whole night, saying that he had to put on a complete show and act like his father.

He didn't even think about how many people in the entire Yangxin Palace could see him act?

However, the King of Qin said something that this old servant could not quite understand. He said that when Jiang Taigong fishes, only those who are willing will take the bait. Is he waiting for ghosts to take the bait?

Jiang Baitong shook his head and sighed in his heart, but his hands silently unfolded the imperial edict.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that because Pei Wanwan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Cheng'en, attempted suicide by jumping into the river..."

After the imperial edict was read, the scene fell into silence.

Shen Wanwan had stood beside Xie Leqing when she arrived in the front yard. When Jiang Baitong said the imperial edict was about to be read, she had knelt with Xie Leqing, listening with dignity. But now, she was completely dumbfounded. She even suspected there was something wrong with her hearing.

What the hell happened to Pei Wanwan’s failed attempt to jump into the river?

And what’s the matter with the King of Qin not marrying the dowry girl?

Was this imperial edict addressed to her? Or was it specifically read out to certain people in the Marquis' Mansion?

Pei Bailiang's face turned pale. This was not about not marrying the dowry girl, it was clearly "The King of Qin will not marry the daughter of the Pei family."

He has only two daughters in the Cheng'en Marquisate, Pei Wanwan is the legitimate daughter and Pei Jiaojiao is the illegitimate daughter.

The King of Qin didn't even want the legitimate daughter Pei Wanwan, so how could he want Pei Jiaojiao, a concubine's daughter?

He felt like the sky was falling!

He doesn’t care whether the King of Qin marries or not, but his engagement with Pei Wanwan cannot be cancelled!

But now...

"Lord Pei, please accept the order."

When Jiang Baitong's voice came, Pei Bailiang shuddered, and tremblingly stood up with the support of one leg to receive the imperial edict.
