The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

Lingyue Pavilion.

"No."

The Princess of Jianing frowned.

Li Jiu prostrated himself and kowtowed, then walked on his knees:

"County Lady, who doesn't know your feelings for the Crown Prince? Didn't you come to Fengshui this time to say you had the imperial decree granting the marriage? Now the Crown Prince's life is hanging by a thread, and the doctors have said that only a wedding can bring him a glimmer of hope. Please, for the sake of our past relationship, marry the Crown Prince!"

"How dare you! Li Jiu!" Nanny Qin scolded:

"The county lady is a royal daughter, and her marriage is decided by the emperor and the queen. How can you speak nonsense? Where is the imperial decree granting marriage? Who has seen it? Lord Baili came from the capital, have you ever seen any imperial decree granting marriage?!"

Baili Xi, dressed in armor, stepped out and bowed, "This general has come to protect the county lady. I know nothing else."

Nanny Qin's complexion looked much better.

Baili Xi knew the current situation and knew that this matter was top secret. Whether to marry or not depended entirely on the wishes of Princess Jianing.

She exchanged glances with the Princess of Jianing and smiled falsely:

"Old Madam, Madam Duke, our county lady is still a young girl, there are some things she is not comfortable saying, so I am shamelessly speaking this way.

Prince Pei saved my county lady's life, but both parties are from high-ranking and prominent families. How can the marriage be treated as such a trivial matter?

How could a daughter of a county master, a woman of wealth and power, be reduced to a maidservant for a wedding? This is absolutely impossible. Everyone, please go back!"

Kang held the handkerchief and looked at Mrs. Pei's expression carefully.

Mrs. Pei was so concerned about Pei Jinzhi's safety that she completely disregarded her dignity and respectability and actually knelt down in front of the Jianing County Lady.

"County Lady, I'm not taking advantage of my age, but this is a matter of life and death, and I can only ask you for help! Your families are of equal status, and you two have been childhood sweethearts. If you can become a good match, when Jinzhi wakes up, I will hold you in my heart, and love you, respect you, and cherish you forever!"

Princess Jianing hesitated and said nothing.

Nanny Qin sneered:

"What if the prince can't wake up? Old Madam, wouldn't my county lady be widowed right after getting married? You're not just taking advantage of your age, you're forcing her!"

Mrs. Pei was so angry that she was speechless when she saw her rudeness.

Nanny Qin rolled her eyes and said to the Princess Jianing, "The Pei family doesn't know how to treat guests. Princess, in my opinion, we should move to the posthouse and set off for the capital as soon as possible!"

Mrs. Pei knelt down and sobbed:

"County Lady, please save Jinzhi!"

Mother Sun, who was standing by, supported her with tears in her eyes:

"Old lady, now we have seen the true faces of these people. Why bother begging her?"

Aunt Qin retorted rudely:

"What's with that face? How can you talk like that? Marriage is not a game. Your prince is on the verge of death. If you have time to beg for help here, you might as well find a lowly maid to bring you good luck. If you're a step late, the prince will be one step closer to death."

Mrs. Pei fainted from anger.

*

The county princess left Pei Mansion overnight and went to the posthouse.

Kang and her children were busy seeing the county lord off, and she was nowhere to be found, so she had no time to care about Pei Jinzhi's life or death.

Madam Pei recovered her breath and sat in the main hall of Chunhui Hall, looking haggard. "Are any of you willing?"

The maids kneeling in the hall all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Mother Sun was furious and her voice was sharp:

"Five hundred taels of gold, and you're not willing to do that?"

She pointed at a maid:

"You, Caiyun, you've served in the prince's courtyard for seven or eight years. Has the prince ever treated you badly? Now that his life is hanging by a thread, you actually watch him die?"

Caiyun shrugged and sobbed:

"The prince is very good to me, but...but..."

Mother Sun was impatient: "But what?!"

"But I still have parents at home. I don't want to die! Please, Madam, spare me!"

Caiyun prostrated herself on the ground, crying inconsolably.

Mrs. Pei held her forehead with her hand and waved her handkerchief angrily.

Mother Sun cursed: "You unlucky thing! The prince is not dead yet, why are you howling!"

"Every one of you is so heartless. Brought happiness to the young master, it's a blessing you've earned in several lifetimes! Others couldn't find such a good opportunity, but you didn't cherish it when you encountered it. Five hundred taels of gold, your entire family couldn't earn a few hundred taels of silver in several lifetimes! Whoever got this kind of wealth would be so happy that they would kowtow to the Buddha! You..."

A maid murmured:

"Mother Sun, this wealth is for you!"

Mother Sun shook her head, her eyes widening. "Who, who's talking?! I'm going to die, you bitches! How dare you frame me? I'll rip your mouths off!"

She grabbed a little girl on the ground and wanted to slap her. The little girl cried and the whole hall was in an uproar.

Mrs. Pei's headache got worse: "Get out!"

Mother Sun fell silent and drove all the maids away with a sullen look on her face.

Li Jiuben stood in the dark corner in silence. At this moment, he took a step forward, knelt down and said:

"Madam, I thought of someone!"

Madam Pei raised her eyes and asked weakly, "Who is it?"

"Sang Wan, Miss Sang, from the former prince's courtyard."

Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up instantly:

"Yes, how could I forget this girl!"

"Mother Sun!" She waved her handkerchief, "Where does that girl live? Hurry, go find her. Ah!"

Li Jiu: "Madam, she is in the mansion. Today, it was she who saved the prince."

Mrs. Pei was very surprised:

"Quick, call him in."

Sang Wan stood out from the shadows of the hall.

He was wearing a green dress, stained with blood.

Her pretty face was covered in mud and blood, and her original appearance could no longer be recognized.

Mrs. Pei looked at her for a long time before she recognized her.

"Miss Sang, are you willing to bring happiness to the Crown Prince?"

Sang Wan lowered her head and knelt down: "Your servant...is willing."

This was the deal she and Pei Jinzhi had agreed upon.

"If the prince doesn't wake up..." Madam Pei choked up and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "Do you know what will happen?"

Sang Wan raised her eyes and shook her head.

Pei Jinzhi didn't mention this.

He just said he wanted to make a deal, he would protect her and she would drive away the Princess Jianing for him, that was all.

Mrs. Pei sighed and looked at her face, feeling a little uncomfortable.

As fate would have it, after many twists and turns, she is back again.

"If the prince can wake up, it will be your blessing; if he can't wake up, you will be buried with him." She said in a deep voice.

Buried together? Sang Wan glanced at Li Jiu.

Hey, buddy, this isn't the price for being buried alive!

Li Jiuqing coughed, looked up at the sky and pretended to be dead.

It was difficult to get off the tiger, Sang Wan gritted his teeth:

"Old Madam, the prince has done me a favor, and I shall repay him with my life. Whether the prince wakes up or not, I am willing to do it."

Buried with him? That's absolutely impossible.

"Good boy! Jinzhi was right about you!"

Mrs. Pei burst into tears and waved to Mother Sun:

"Hurry, get ready and congratulate the prince!"

"Quick! Bring the wedding gown for Miss Sang to change into!"

"Music bands, opera troupes, come find me now! Start playing the suona!"

"My Lord, the wedding is coming!!"
