The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

"Su Li accepts the order."

Following Shun Dajian's shout, the smile on the Marquis's wife's face froze.

She opened her eyes wide, and heard the eunuch Shun say loudly:

"General Pei Heng, the First Rank Protector of the Nation, was loyal to his country, fought against the Tartars, and established an immortal cause for the nation. His wife, Su, is hereby granted the title of First Rank Imperial Edict. This is my decree."

Su Li was stunned on the spot.

The Marquis's wife was also stunned! She clenched her fists and tried to suppress her anger, her body trembling.

Why!

Why does Su Li have the right!

He was awarded the first-rank imperial decree at the age of eighteen!

As Pei Heng's legitimate mother, she's not dead yet! Why did the title of First Rank Imperial Edict go to Su Li?

I only heard Shun Dajian laugh and say:

"Young Madam, from now on, you are a person with an imperial decree. Looking at the entire Marquisate, only the old lady has this honor. Young Madam, will you accept the decree?"

Shun Dajian was truly happy for Su Li, and his voice when announcing the decree was much lighter.

Su Li fell to the ground and said, "Master, how can Su Li, at such a young age, receive such an honor? Besides, the general's mother is still alive, so if there is any title to be granted, it should be the Marquis's wife."

When Shun Dajian heard this, he thought, "What a good boy!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Wen's heart is not with General Pei. The emperor knows this very well, and he saw it even more clearly today.

Pei Heng submitted a petition requesting to give up his qualification to inherit the title to his younger brother Pei Yan. In order to compensate him, the emperor specially gave his wife a first-rank imperial title so that Su Li could have something to rely on after Pei Heng's death.

In addition, the Ninth Princess was difficult and willful, and the Emperor was also afraid that the Ninth Princess would bully Su Li after entering the mansion.

Of course he couldn't say that.

"Young Madam, rest assured. You are worthy of this imperial decree! In the past, when General Pei was unmarried, the Emperor could only occasionally reward him with gold, silver, and land. But what good could such countless gold, silver, and land do? They were not enough to reassure the Emperor."

"Now that the general has married you, this imperial decree is what you deserve. Just accept it with peace of mind. If anyone treats you badly, we will be the first to disapprove!"

Shun Dajian comforted her and then glared at the marquis's wife fiercely.

The marquis' wife shrank back at his glare.

When Su Li heard this, she frowned.

When she looked at Pei Heng's private property account books before, she found that many things did not match.

She didn't think it through at first.

But when I heard it this moment, I immediately understood.

It turns out that someone intercepted him?

Who is it?

She looked around quietly and saw that the Marquis, his wife, and the old lady all had different expressions.

Wow, everyone has a share!

She already had an idea in her mind, and hurriedly thanked him:

"Su Li thanks the Lord for His grace."

Therefore, she was content with this imperial edict. Not only that, she also had to make them give up all the private property they had seized from Pei Heng.

Eunuch Shun nodded with satisfaction.

Next, he went to Qingshan Courtyard to see Pei Heng.

As soon as he entered the house, he started crying.

"Oh my, my General Pei! How did you become like this?"

Pei Heng lay on the bed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He is much better now. If Shun Dajian had come to see him two months ago, things would have been really bad!

"Hey, great eunuch, why are you crying? I'm almost well now."

Shun Dajian was even more sad.

Oh, you are talking nonsense.

Imperial Physician Zheng clearly reported to the Emperor that the general did not have much time left.

But he couldn't tell Pei Heng in front of him that he was going to die, so he could only cry:

"Yes, yes, I believe the general will get better."

Su Li was speechless. Is there really something wrong with this old man's eyes? Pei Heng's face was obviously rosy, his body was much stronger, and he was in good spirits.

When Shun Dajian started crying, the Marquis also started crying.

This style of painting is really funny.

Su Li and Pei Heng looked at them blankly.

"General, please rest assured and recover. I will go back and comfort the emperor and tell him not to be sad."

"I say, Grand Eunuch, I really am much better..."

"I know, I know, I know everything. Oh... Lord, I really can't bear to watch this anymore. Let's go."

Watching Shun Dajian walk out of the house crying loudly, Pei Heng sighed silently.

Su Li was stunned and asked softly:

"Husband, this...is this considered deceiving the emperor?"

"How can this be considered deceiving the emperor? Neither of us said we were going to die from the beginning to the end. I kept saying I was fine and almost fine, but he just didn't believe it. Who can I blame?"

Pei Heng glared.

He used to want to die every day, but now he doesn't want to die at all.

But everyone hopes he will die!

孽 孽!

……

On this side, the Marquis' wife was so angry about the first-rank imperial edict that her mouth was twisted.

"Why! Why was the title of imperial edict given to her? I am the mother of the paralytic. The paralytic has made great contributions to the country. The emperor should praise him and comfort him. This title of imperial edict should be given to me!"

"That's right! While his parents are still alive, he gave this title to his own wife. The eldest master obviously doesn't take you seriously, Madam!" Nanny Qian instigated.

"Since he was little, when did he ever consider me his mother?"

"Mother, it's just a title of imperial decree. Just give it to her. What else can I do?"

Pei Yan was in a good mood, throwing a fruit up and down for fun.

"What do you know? With the imperial edict, she will have nothing to fear after the paralytic dies."

The Marquis' wife was still thinking about taking advantage of Su Li after Pei Heng's death. But now that Su Li had received the imperial edict, she had to consider her own weight before trying to manipulate him.

"The paralytic is dead. Even if she has an imperial decree, what good can she do? Mother, don't worry. I am the crown prince now. The Marquis' Mansion will belong to us in the future. I can do whatever I want with her."

Pei Yan thought of Su Li's charming appearance.

Humph, one day I will still be his woman!

The Marquis’ wife thought about it and agreed.

Behind closed doors, this mansion is her world. Who knows what goes on inside?

The most important thing now is the princess's wedding.

……

Songhe Hall.

The old lady had a serious expression on her face.

Today, the emperor bestowed Su Li with the first-rank imperial decree, which she had not expected.

But the old lady was still happy.

"Li'er has received a first-rank imperial decree, which is an honor for the Marquisate. Shichang, I'm thinking about the half of the inheritance that was withheld from me. Now is the time to return it to Heng'er."

The Marquis was also a little embarrassed.

"Mother, you decide. I have no objection."

The old lady felt mixed emotions.

"Li'er is a smart child. Since Eunuch Shun said that today, she must have noticed something. If we keep Heng'er's things and don't give them to her, we will be in the wrong. It's a good opportunity to return them to her, so that both sides can save some face."

Anyway, Su Li can't leave the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of her life.

The Marquis nodded quickly.

When Shun Dajian said that today, he felt that Su Li was looking at him.

At that time, his back was sweating with shame.

It would be shameful to tell others that I stole my son's private property.

After discussing with the old lady, he called Su Li over.

"Li'er, these are Heng'er's property. Take them."

The Marquis pointed to the several large boxes in Songhe Hall and said with some guilt:

"Heng'er is in poor health. Father and your grandmother are worried that you won't be able to handle such a large business if they hand it all over to you. Li'er, can you understand the painstaking efforts of father and grandmother?"

Su Li looked at the full room and her heart was filled with joy.

hoo hoo hoo!

Developed, developed!

She was happy in her heart, but of course she couldn't show it on her face. She said hurriedly:

"Li'er naturally understands the painstaking efforts of my grandmother and father. To be honest, it took Li'er quite a while to sort out the accounts of the previous estate."

"Originally, I found that some of the accounts didn't add up, and I thought that I wasn't very good at my job, so I decided to ask my father for advice one day."

Houfu's toes were curled up in embarrassment. He quickly coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment and said:

"Yeah. Add these and I think the account will be evened out. Li'er is smart, but it's Father and Grandmother who worry too much."

Su Li smiled modestly and said:

"Father, what are you talking about? Li'er is young and doesn't understand many things. She will definitely need Grandma and Father's guidance in the future! For example, today, I was disrespectful in front of Eunuch Shun."

"Hmph! That's not your fault! It's your mother's inconsiderateness. Li'er, don't take it to heart."

Su Li quickly agreed.

He said such nice things to save face, but who knows what he really meant.

However, since the Marquis and the old lady had taken the initiative to return the property, Su Li didn't intend to expose it. As for the Marquis's wife, hmph, let's wait until she finishes the accounts.

If it doesn't match, give her a good beating!

So he thought about it and said:

"Grandma, Father, to be honest with you, the General has actually been feeling much better these past few days."

"really?"

The old lady's eyes were about to pop out.

The Marquis was so nervous that he stood up.

Today, seeing their frankness, Su Li no longer planned to hide Pei Heng's affairs from them. Pei Heng had recovered well after his broken bones were reattached, and he would eventually be able to stand up again. She also saw that the Marquis and his grandmother truly had Pei Heng's best interests at heart.

"Yes. Li'er happens to know a miracle doctor."

Su Li told him that she had privately asked Dr. Fei to treat Pei Heng.

The old lady burst into tears when she heard that the broken bones had been reconnected. She covered her chest with her hands and said tremblingly while holding Su Li's hand:

"Good boy! You've suffered so much!"

"Grandmother, the general has extraordinary perseverance. He managed to get through three painful years. I believe he will be able to stand up again in no time."

"Good! Good! Good!" The Marquis said good three times in a row.

The old lady was even more delighted, looking at Su Li with tears in her eyes.

"It is truly a blessing that my Jinyuan Marquisate has cultivated for several lifetimes to marry you. Li'er! You are truly a lucky star!"

"Grandmother, Father. Although the General is much better, please keep this news confidential until he is completely recovered. Only the few of us know about it. Okay?"

When Su Li mentioned it, the old lady and the marquis nodded repeatedly.
