After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

Shen Zhiyi's smile suddenly froze on her face, the smile in her eyes disappeared, and her face turned pale.

He just told her about this last night, why is he proposing marriage so soon?

Aunt Qiu supported her daughter's shaky body and asked anxiously, "Does the master agree?"

The maid lowered her eyebrows and said: "Prince Jing came with an imperial edict."

Shen Zhiyi was trembling all over. She clutched Aunt Qiu's arms tightly with both hands: "Mother, mother, he is going to marry Shen Nanxing, he is going to marry Shen Nanxing..."

A trace of pain flashed in Aunt Qiu's eyes. She hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Yier..."

"Mother, he just told me about this last night, but he brought the imperial edict today..."

"He had already asked His Majesty for an imperial decree! He didn't even ask for my opinion last night, he just told me..."

"mother!"

Shen Zhiyi's tears fell, and she gasped for breath, feeling so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

She thought she had been able to accept it, but at this moment, her heart ached so much that it almost broke into pieces.

Even though Aunt Qiu had never seen the world, she knew that once the imperial decree was issued, the matter would be irreversible.

She could only accompany her daughter in tears: "Yier, mother will take you to rest for a while, let's sleep for a while! When you wake up, mother will help you find a solution, okay?"

"No, mother!"

Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened, and she clutched Aunt Qiu's arm tightly with both hands: "Mom, I want to go and see, I want to see it with my own eyes!"

"Yier..."

"Mother, please! I'll just take a look secretly. It's an imperial decree. I know..."

"I won't make trouble, mother..."

Aunt Qiu had no choice but to support her daughter and walk step by step to the front hall.

Hiding behind the screen, he peeked at the scene in the hall through the gap.

Grandfather, father, grandmother, and Shen Nanxing are all here.

Shen Zhiyi clenched his fist, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it with his teeth, trying hard not to make any sound.

Brother Yu is here too.

He was smiling at Shen Nanxing.

Shen Nanxing wore a beautiful red dress with a red ribbon tied in her bun, and only a golden hairpin adorning her hair, which made her look warm, bright and radiant.

She held a bright yellow imperial edict in one hand and hugged Brother Yu's arm with the other, smiling at him charmingly. Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Looking at Brother Yu's eyes, it was clear that he was infatuated.

Shen Zhiyi clenched his fists tightly, his long nails digging deep into his flesh. Blood dripped down his hands and stained his clothes.

Grandfather looked at them with a smile, walked over and patted Xie Tingyu's shoulders twice: "Yu boy, you and Xing girl have been childhood sweethearts, and Xing girl has liked you for many years."

"I've seen how sad you've been these past few years thinking that Miss Xing is gone. I, the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion, have let you down, but Miss Xing has also had a hard time these years..."

He sighed deeply: "Yu boy, tell me honestly, do you hate Xing girl because of this?"

Xie Tingyu took a deep look at the woman in red, and saw a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

He took her hand and looked at Mr. Shen solemnly: "Grandfather, Tingyu has liked Nanxing for many years. Tingyu's heart is known to all."

"Now that I know Nanxing is alive, I'm so happy that I can't bear to hate her..."

Tears glistened in his eyes as he spoke.

Mr. Shen's cloudy eyes were a little moist. He raised his hand to rub his eyes and looked at Xie Tingyu again: "Yu boy, Xing girl has a naughty personality and a bad temper. After she marries you, can you tolerate her little temper?"

"Grandfather!" The girl in red stamped her feet and glared at him.

Mr. Shen glared back at her: "Shut up!"

Xie Tingyu smiled and nodded: "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Hasn't this girl been like this since she was a child? In this whole capital, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can tolerate her..."

Mr. Shen clapped his hands and smiled, "Good! Good! Good!"

"Now that you say that, the old man is relieved!"

"Xing girl is my only granddaughter, she is very precious. If you treat her badly in the future, I will never let you go even if it costs me my life!"

Shen Nanxing was dissatisfied: "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Brother Yu will never treat me badly!"

Xie Tingyu gently pulled her behind him and said with a bow, "Grandfather is right. Tingyu has taken note of it. Please rest assured, Grandfather, Nanxing will have absolute power in Prince Jing's mansion in the future. If she says go east, Tingyu will never go west!"

......

Shen Zhiyi couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he covered his mouth, turned around and ran out.

Grandfather said that he only has one granddaughter, Shen Nanxing, so what is she?

Isn’t she her father’s daughter?

Where does he put her when he says that?

And Brother Yu!

If I just act in front of my grandfather, would I be too immersed in the role?

Or was it that he had simply lied to her last night? The one he loved deep down was actually Shen Nanxing?

......

Even if Shen Zhiyi was unwilling, Xie Tingyu and Shen Nanxing got married after all.

That day, she also put on a red wedding dress, drew her eyebrows, dyed her lipstick, put on the most beautiful set of jewelry that Brother Yu gave her, and covered her head with a red veil.

Silently sitting on the bed waiting.

Brother Yu promised her that he would come to her place on his wedding night with Shen Nanxing.

She believed her this time.

She listened to the lively wedding outside and the clinking of glasses.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"

"Second worship high hall-"

"Husband and wife pay homage——"

She listened to the sounds coming from outside, imagining that Brother Yu was by her side, pretending that she was the one getting married to him.

She also completed these three bows to the air in Xinlan Garden.

"Send it to the bridal chamber—"

She went to the room by herself and sat beside the bed.

Waiting for her groom to take off the red veil for her.

Fortunately, after the guests' laughter and noise gradually faded away, she heard his staggering footsteps.

He didn't lie to her, he came.

Shen Zhiyi suppressed her tears and helped the drunk man onto the bed...

That night, she used the most shameful method she had learned from her mother, and tossed and turned with Brother Yu for the entire night. They were still fighting until dawn.

Unexpectedly, Shen Nanxing broke in!

Brother Yu protected her. Shen Nanxing ran away in anger, and Brother Yu did not chase her.

Even when I was about to leave, she pestered me for it again.

She thought she won.

But unexpectedly, that was the beginning of her suffering.

That day she was given thirty lashes of the cane and was beaten until she was bleeding.

Then, she was beaten half to death and was forced to move out of Prince Jing's Mansion the next day...

Later, Brother Yu broke his promise again and wanted to consummate his marriage with Shen Nanxing!!!
