At the Shangshu Mansion, Yao Xinyan was about to go to the front hall to have dinner with her parents when she heard a servant come to report that someone was sent over from the Goddess Palace.

In the past, the Liu family would have no chance to meet the Shangshu's daughter Yao Xinyan.

However, things are different now. Liu Ruyue has transformed into the goddess of Beigan and has become the focus of attention of all Beigan. Naturally, Yao Xinyan would not want to lose face of the goddess at this time.

Therefore, he asked his servant to call the maid from the Goddess Palace to the front hall for a meeting.

Unexpectedly, I met Han, the deputy leader of the Jinyiwei.

Not to mention Yao Xinyan was shocked, even the Shangshu was a little shocked, muttering in his heart: I shouldn't have done anything to offend the goddess, right?

Why are even the Jinyiwei dispatched?

Fortunately, both the maids in the Goddess Palace and Deputy Chief Han had a very good attitude, which made everyone in the Shangshu Mansion feel a lot more at ease.

But my heart is at peace.

However, when they heard what the maid from the Goddess Palace said, Minister Yao and his wife, as well as Yao Xinyan, the daughter of the Yao family, all looked extremely unhappy. They were filled with shame and anger.

Xuanyuan Jingye, the young prince of Jingwang Mansion, who had previously frequently shown favor to Yao Xinyan, the daughter of their Shangshu Mansion, was actually secretly hooking up with Liu Ruyue, the daughter of the Liu family, who is now the Goddess.

It's bad enough that he hooked up with the Liu family, but as a grown man, he actually coveted the Liu family's property. It's really shameful.

In particular, when the maid of the Goddess Palace and the deputy leader Han of the Jinyiwei left, they refused the proposal of the Shangshu Mansion to keep them for dinner, and said frankly that they had to go to Qingshan Academy and tell the daughter of the dean of Qingshan Academy, Zhuang Luoqin, about what happened in the Goddess Palace today.

After hearing this, Minister Yao and his wife, as well as Yao Xinyan, understood clearly: in addition to her, Yao Xinyan, Xuanyuan Jingye not only hooked up with the daughter of the Liu family, but even did not let go of the daughter of the dean of Qingshan Academy.

This is no longer simply stepping on one boat, but rather stepping on three boats at once.

Moreover, this is only what the goddess Liu Ruyue found out. What if there are other women who have not been discovered?

The more they thought about it, the angrier Minister Yao and his wife, as well as Yao Xinyan, became: In this era, men can have many women, but, at least, before a man gets married, a man who wants to maintain his reputation will keep himself clean. At most, he will have one or two maids, and only after he marries a wife will he gradually take in concubines.

However, Xuanyuan Jingye had already started to hook up with girls from several families before he even married a wife.

Then, who will be the legal wife?

Before becoming a goddess, Liu Ruyue was just the daughter of a lowly merchant. She was not to be feared and certainly could not become the daughter-in-law of Prince Jing's mansion.

However, the daughter of the dean of Qingshan Academy is different. She is the representative of the entire Beigan Qingliu and the origin of Beigan scholar-officials. Compared with her, his daughter may not be able to win the position of wife.

Could it be that the daughter of a noble Shangshu family would actually give up and become someone else's concubine?

Besides, is it necessary for your own daughter to be a concubine?

The more they thought about it, the more everyone in the Shangshu Mansion hated Xuanyuan Jingye. Even Yao Xinyan, the victim, hated Xuanyuan Jingye to death.

The same thing happened at Qingshan Academy.

Dean Zhuang of Qingshan Academy is a man of noble character and proud character. His daughter Zhuang Luoqin not only inherited her father's literary talent, but also his proud character.

If Xuanyuan Jingye had not behaved differently from others and promised not to take a concubine, how could she have exchanged letters with him?

Now that she had discovered that the other party was actually a liar, Zhuang Luoqin no longer had any affection for Xuanyuan Jingye in her heart. Instead, she was filled with disgust and aversion...

"Yue'er, my daughter..."

While Deputy Chief Han was running around with the maids from the Goddess Palace to discredit Xuanyuan Jingye, Liu Ruyue's parents finally entered the Goddess Palace and met Liu Ruyue.

It had been less than half a month since they last met, and Su Ying still couldn't understand how her daughter had become the goddess of the Beigan people.

Moreover, on the way here, she vaguely heard that her daughter was crowned queen, which made her feel even more uneasy. As soon as she entered the door, she rushed towards Liu Ruyue with red eyes.

Feeling her mother's care for her, Liu Ruyue let the woman hold her, like a well-behaved child, quietly curled up in her arms.

After the other party had cried enough, Liu Ruyue picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from Su Ying's face. Her tone was gentle, coaxing Su Ying like a child:

"Mother, don't cry.

Being able to become the goddess of Beigan and being able to become the queen of Your Majesty is my blessing and also the blessing of our Liu family. We should smile..."

Hearing her daughter's words, Su Ying cried even harder: her reckless daughter suddenly became so sensible, she must have experienced too much in the past two days.

Seeing the tears on Su Ying's face like a broken thread, Liu Ruyue could only comfort her from a different angle:

"Mother, I have met His Majesty. He is truly a very good man, a rare good man in this world.

Before, I was ignorant and fell for Xuanyuan Jingye’s scheme. It was also because I was ignorant. After getting to know Your Majesty, I realized that Xuanyuan Jingye was the dust on the ground, and Your Majesty was the beautiful bright moon in the sky. I couldn’t help but yearn for him...”

Liu Ruyue was well aware of the principle that one should praise people behind their backs. If these words of hers reached Xuanyuan Yunche's ears, wouldn't he be fascinated to death?

At this moment, the Jinyiwei leader, unaware that he was being used, was carefully writing on a piece of paper on a tree outside, "... Jiaojiao Mingyue..."

After flattering Xuanyuan Yunche, Liu Ruyue continued to persuade Su Ying and Old Man Liu: "Mother, Father, our Liu family is rich enough to rival a country, and has long been targeted by those with ulterior motives. Otherwise, Xuanyuan Jingye would not have seduced me.

This tree stands out in the forest, and the wind will surely destroy it.

Instead of letting others plot against us, we might as well find the most powerful backer for ourselves. As long as your daughter I become His Majesty's woman and the queen of Beigan, who will dare to plot against our Liu family in the future?

Our Liu family will definitely be able to obtain the qualification of Imperial Merchant. Father, this is something that can be written into the family tree and hung in the Liu family ancestral hall..."

Under Liu Ruyue's patient persuasion (clever words and eloquence), the Liu couple, who originally wanted to escape with their daughter, were successfully persuaded. They actually agreed that it was a blessing for their daughter and the Liu family that she married His Majesty.

I came crying and left happily.

Of course, the two were worried that their daughter would not have a good life in the harem, so they wanted to use money to pave the way for her. They gave Liu Ruyue dozens of shops, hundreds of thousands of silver notes, and hundreds of kilograms of gold melon seeds, so that Liu Ruyue could reward and win over people in the harem.

Looking at the extra wealth in her hands, Liu Ruyue couldn't help but tear up: the rich people's thoughts are so simple and unpretentious, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
