Chapter 213: Granted Marriage

The entire Situ Mansion was burned to ashes.

Fortunately, it was daytime and Situ Qinghe was not at home.

The maids and servants in the mansion also ran out in time and no one was hurt.

For this reason, Situ Qinghe had to move everyone to an unused house temporarily.

Since Situ Mingji moved in, he has been locking himself in the room.

At first, Situ Qinghe didn't know the reason.

I just thought that Situ Mingji was attacked on the way back and was frightened. He was also in a bad mood because his clothes and jewelry were burned. He would be fine after a while.

However, several days passed, and Situ Qinghe gave her a lot of jewelry, but she was still like this.

This made Situ Qinghe start to worry. He wanted to care about his daughter.

But at this time, some people in the court began to impeach him.

He was so worried every day that he had no time to care about her.

The arsonist has not been caught until now.

At this time, he was brought into the palace by Emperor Rongcheng.

It was not until Situ Qinghe came out of the palace that he vaguely noticed something unusual in Emperor Rongcheng's voice.

He hurried back home and rushed directly to Situ Mingji's room, wanting to ask what had happened.

But he didn't expect to find Situ Mingji falling on the beam.

He was startled and quickly hugged her and called for help, and only then did he successfully rescue Situ Mingji.

However, after Situ Mingji woke up, she didn't say a word about why she was so depressed.

Situ Qinghe was helpless and didn't dare to mention it again. He became more cautious when facing Situ Mingji.

Occasionally, I would find some articles for her to read to help her get over the problem.

And so, a few more days passed.

Situ Mingji's expression finally improved a lot.

But unexpectedly, that night, she was suddenly awakened.

Then she saw a man pressing on her.

The man's face was particularly familiar.

He often appeared in his dreams during this period, and his "horrible and ferocious" appearance made Situ Mingji hate him to the core.

And now, he was still pressing her like that day in the carriage, holding her tightly with one hand, and then constantly giving her what he wanted.

She wanted to shout, but he blocked her mouth.

She struggled constantly, but to no avail.

Only when the person above finished and stopped moving did he breathe a sigh of relief and let go of Situ Mingji.

But Situ Mingji looked ashen and no longer had the strength to struggle.

After the man finished, he left quickly.

Situ Mingji didn't know who he was, but he was not as devastated as the first time.

When she woke up the next day, she immediately went out and bought herbs from various pharmacies herself. She then made a contraceptive soup and drank it, only then did she feel relieved.

Afterwards, she ordered people to surround her yard tightly, preparing to catch the person next time.

However, after a few days, the man did not come, but Situ Mingji learned a new piece of news from Situ Qinghe.

Emperor Rongcheng actually granted her a marriage!

Moreover, the person to be married was the legitimate son of the Li family in the south.

Although Situ Mingji had lived in Tiandu for a long time, he had heard of this man's deeds.

I heard that he is a playboy who usually catches cats and plays with dogs, bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil.

As soon as Situ Mingji heard the news, he felt dizzy and fell down.

After waking up, I couldn't stop crying.

She simply couldn't understand why Emperor Rongcheng wanted her to marry such a playboy.

At this time, Situ Qinghe learned the news and guessed that Situ Mingji might have offended Emperor Rongcheng.

After he had investigated everything through various methods, he finally understood what stupid thing Situ Mingji had done.

After learning what happened, he slapped Situ Mingji in the face.

"Smart as a whim!"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some ability?

Are officials like you and me allowed to get involved in palace affairs?"

"Emperor Rongcheng didn't kill you today because of my father's face. Now that he lets you marry that playboy, he is giving you a way out."

"If you marry me right now, you can save our Situ Mansion."

"Otherwise, our entire Situ Mansion will be buried with you."

It was only at this time that Situ Mingji realized that his thoughts were not unnoticed by Emperor Rongcheng.

But he just didn't point it out.

but……

She thought about the repeated violations she had suffered.

Given her current physical condition, if she were to marry and be discovered by that playboy, it would probably lead to even more serious consequences.

She opened her mouth, wanting to tell Situ Qinghe that she was forced.

However, looking at Situ Qinghe's cold face at this moment, she didn't say a word.

She knew her father.

Their Situ family started from scratch, relying entirely on the accumulation of their ancestors and their father's observation of Emperor Rongcheng's words and expressions. They followed the emperor's instructions and thus gained the emperor's trust step by step and reached the position they have today.

Now that their Situ family has just gotten back on track, her father will never let her destroy the entire Situ Mansion.

Therefore, Situ Mingji hesitated and finally did not tell others about the bullying he had suffered.

Jingyu Palace.

It's getting dark.

The night gradually enveloped the entire yard.

Everyone in Jingyu Palace sat upright, looking towards the gate with their heads held high.

Jiang Xianhao had also finished her bath. She changed into a comfortable set of underwear and looked a lot gentler.

However, her face was very pale.

Even the white and delicate fingertips became extremely cold.

Jingtan was afraid that Jiang Xian would be cold, so she put a fox fur cloak on her.

However, he touched Jiang Xianhao's fingertips and was startled.

"My lady, why are your hands so cold?"

Jiang Xianhao shook his head when he heard this and was unwilling to explain further.

At this time, Emperor Rongcheng strode in.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly saluted.

His eyes were always on Jiang Xianhao. Without even looking at the others, he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

The door closed.

Jiang Xianhao then looked at Emperor Rongcheng.

Her eyelashes were long and slowly rose like a small fan, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with a bit of timidity and shyness.

In an instant, Emperor Rongcheng's heart began to beat wildly, as if he was back in his youth, as anxious as on his wedding night.

He didn't even have time to say a word before he hugged Jiang Xianhao. Regardless of her struggle, he pressed her against the wall and lowered his head to kiss her.

Jiang Xianhao quickly turned his head away.

Rong Cheng lowered his kiss to her ear, and then to her neck.

Then he stood up, had someone carry the person to the bed, and then pressed the person under him.

But Jiang Xianhao still tilted her head, not allowing Emperor Rongcheng to kiss her, let alone look at his face.
