Everyone is waiting to see the fun.

Only Jiang Li's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. While waiting, she carefully looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

It is said that appearance is determined by the heart.

Obviously, Qin Ji was the male protagonist of the original book, but Jiang Li saw viciousness and harshness on his face, especially after meeting Gu Qingchen.

Some people may be called Shura, but their eyes are pure; some people may appear golden on the outside, but they are terrifying and ferocious on the inside.

Jiang Li yawned slightly and watched Qin Ji's performance.

"Miss Jiang," Qin Ji's expression flashed with a hint of gloom, but he quickly regained his composure. "You know the reason why I got engaged to you in the first place, so I won't elaborate further."

"Marry a virtuous woman; this is something even a three-year-old child understands."

"I know what you are up to by coming here and causing such a scene today. However, as Miss Xu said, your actions are truly unbecoming of a woman. In front of so many elders and fellow villagers, I want to say that the marriage between the Jiang and Qin families is over."

After saying that, Qin Ji took the marriage certificate, glanced at it a few times, and tore his copy into two halves without hesitation.

Originally, Qin Ji just wanted to scare Jiang Li. He could sense the girl's affection for him. He knew that Jiang Li must have known that Jiang Shengsheng would marry him in the future, and she must have been jealous and causing this scene.

In fact, if she was more obedient, it would be a good thing for her to serve him together with Jiang Shengsheng in the future.

However, she actually threatened him with the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of so many people, which he could not tolerate, so don't blame him for being cruel.

But when Qin Ji looked into Jiang Li's deep eyes again, he actually saw a hint of a smile in them.

This shouldn't happen.

"No!" Jiang Shengsheng rushed out of the carriage, "Brother Qin!"

Zhou also hurriedly chased after him.

"You stupid girl! Who allowed you to come out and embarrass yourself!" Zhou was so angry that she started cursing at Jiang Li. Once the marriages between the two families were ruined, no matter if it was a replacement marriage or... there would be no room for turning back.

Then he turned around and flattered, "Master Qin, this important matter of life and death cannot be treated as such a joke!"

Seeing this, Jiang Li just smiled and said, "Finally he came."

As expected, Xu Wan'er's reaction was even more intense when Jiang Shengsheng appeared. She shouted, "I told you, Jiang Li's marriage was only possible because she manipulated and coerced Young Master Qin. Now that he knows Jiang Li's true identity, Young Master Qin is naturally avoiding her. Shengsheng, you still don't believe it."

"Sister Wan'er!" Jiang Shengsheng glared at her. Although she wanted to admit it, the marriage between the Jiang and Qin families could not be ruined!

Biting her lower lip, she seemed to have made up her mind. She knelt down in front of Qin Ji with a thud and said aggrievedly, "Brother Qin, my sister did all these things because she was angry with Shengsheng. Brother Qin, can you forgive my sister just once? My sister cares too much about this marriage. She told me that she dreams of being with Brother Qin. If Brother Qin can't forgive my sister, then if she can't get over it, what if, what if she hurts herself, then..."

With a curled mouth, tears gathered in her eyes, making her look extremely pitiful.

Jiang Li wanted to applaud.

As soon as this performance was revealed, Jiang Shengsheng's image instantly became more prominent. Her kindness and endurance earned her constant praise from those around her.

When Jiang Li was mentioned, everyone shook their heads helplessly and felt sad for Master Jiang.

Not knowing the rules, not knowing the seriousness of the matter, having no regard for integrity...these are all better words among the insults.

Qin Ji didn't respond to Jiang Shengsheng's words.

Will Jiang Li be unable to get over it?

He glanced at the woman who was watching the show with her arms folded. Humph, she was very open-minded!

Furious, Qin Ji was just about to embarrass Jiang Li again when a voice came from outside the crowd:

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Qin Ji thought that his father had made some contribution in the court, and it was common for imperial edicts of reward to be sent home. He glanced at Jiang Li with a sneer in his eyes.

See? This is the Qin family, the one that is deeply favored by the emperor and is beyond your reach.

Then, he lifted up his robe and knelt down to receive the order.

But... the eunuch didn't even look at him. He walked straight to Jiang Li, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Li, and flattered: "This is Miss Jiang Li, right?"

Although the eunuch had never seen Jiang Li, people who worked in the palace naturally had sharper eyesight than ordinary people.

Jiang Li was stunned when he heard this. Bai Zhi quickly helped him down from the box. After he stood steady, he knelt down and saluted the eunuch, "That's right."

Eunuch Sun saw that the woman in front of him was neither humble nor arrogant, and handled the rules and etiquette just right, and was no less capable than the nobles in the palace, so he couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

Then he returned the greeting, saying, "I'm here on the orders of the Emperor to read the Imperial Edict. A servant from the Jiang residence told me you were here, so I took a detour and came directly here. Miss Jiang, please kneel and receive the edict."

Jiang Li blinked and pointed to the ground. Now? Right here?

Isn’t this too casual?

Eunuch Sun coughed lightly and nodded.

This was the first time for him to read out the imperial edict in public. The main reason was that when he just changed the route, he met someone around Prince Jingling who said that this was the prince's order. He didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to disobey!

"Oh, okay."

When Qin Ji knelt, the others had already knelt. When Jiang Li knelt, Eunuch Sun coughed twice, flicked his whisk, opened the imperial edict and sang: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that Jiang Li, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is both talented and virtuous, of a virtuous disposition, gentle and bright, and possesses the beauty of peace and uprightness. She is hereby betrothed to the Princess of Jingling. A hundred and eighty sedan chairs are granted as a dowry, and an auspicious day is chosen for the wedding. This is my decree."

"Miss Jiang, please accept the order."

Everyone was stunned. A marriage of 180 or 180 people?! Was this an arranged marriage or a princess marriage? And those compliments, were they sure they were referring to Jiang Li?
