Chapter 51: Granted Marriage
The marriage was settled, and Xie Jingyu released Chen Li.
Shen Li was dizzy from being hung upside down, and was afraid that Xie Jingyu would bully Shen Wan, so as soon as he was put down, he came over and asked Shen Wan, "He didn't bully you, did he?"
Shen Wan shook his head.
Chen Li said to Xie Jingyu, "A forced melon is not sweet. I think marriage is better..."
Before Shen Li could finish, Shen Wan interrupted him, "Brother, I have decided to marry him."
Shen Li, “…”
no.
Why does his sister act so arbitrarily?
She had refused to get married before, but now she wants to get married.
"Did he threaten you with Big Brother?"
Shen Wan shook her head repeatedly, “I am willing to do this, if there is nothing else, I will go back home first.”
Shen Wan raised his foot and walked away.
Shen Li glanced at Xie Jingyu and left with Shen Wan. "He didn't threaten you, why did you change your mind?"
Shen Wan looked at Shen Li and asked, "Big brother, can fight him to a draw? Why was he arrested?"
"I've been saying that. You ruined the marriage twice, and you told him about it both times. He's just waiting for you to fall into my trap."
Shen Wan felt a little guilty, "How long has he been hanging Big Brother?"
Chen Li said, "Don't worry, when you marry him, I will be his uncle, and sooner or later I will be able to come back."
Shen Wan's heart trembled when he heard this.
She and Xie Jingyu are not really getting married, and their relationship cannot withstand the teasing of the eldest brother.
But she didn't dare to say anything to stop him, for fear that her eldest brother would say that she was not married yet and was turning her elbow out.
Shen Li had been hanging for so long that his steps were a little unsteady when he walked, so he rode a horse to send Shen Wan back home.
After Shen Wan returned, Shen Wu and Ye Caiwei pestered her and asked her where she had been. Shen Wan said, "I went to see the Prince of Jingbei."
Chen Wu and Ye Caiwei looked at each other.
I thought Shen Wan wouldn't tell them the truth, but I didn't expect him to tell them the truth.
Shen Wan didn't want to pay any attention to them, but Chen Ping was waiting not far from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. The servants coming in and out of the mansion could see him. What was there to hide when it couldn't be hidden at all?
Chen Wu asked curiously, "Why did Second Sister go to see the Prince of Jingbei?"
Chen Wan said calmly, "Persuade him not to marry me. Although the emperor doesn't mind the marriage between the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion and the Prince of Jingbei's Mansion, he doesn't have to marry me, and I don't have to marry him. Why bother to get together?"
Chen Wu said, "Second sister is really insightful. Although the emperor doesn't mind now, it doesn't mean he won't mind in the future. It's better not to marry the Prince of Jingbei."
Shen Wan knew that these people didn't want her to marry Xie Jingyu, but it was a pity that she would disappoint them.
But Shen Wan didn't say this, she returned to Mingyue Garden.
Both Chen Wu and Ye Caiwei thought that Shen Wan had persuaded the Prince of Jingbei, and the marriage between the two families was shelved, and told the old lady about it. The old lady was surprised at Chen Wan's understanding. Yun and Shen Ji were afraid that Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu's horoscopes would conflict, just like the previous two times. They agreed to the marriage, but it never came to fruition.
There had been no rumors about the incompatibility for three days, and Yun was somewhat relieved. Normally, Princess Jingbei should have come today to formally finalize the marriage between the two, and then discuss the betrothal gifts and dowry, and choose an auspicious day to propose the marriage.
Thinking that Chen Wan would be married in less than three months, Yun felt reluctant to let her go, even more reluctant than when Chen Yu got married.
But after waiting and waiting, no visiting card was sent from the Jingbei Palace, so Yun became a little worried and restless.
Shen Wan was also a little surprised, but this marriage was not in her plan. It didn't matter whether Princess Jingbei came or not. She didn't care whether the marriage could be successful or not.
Yun drank tea to calm her anxious mood. A maid came in quickly and said, "Madam, the emperor has sent someone to the palace to announce the decree!"
Shen Wan, “…???”
Why would the emperor send someone to announce the decree?
This didn’t happen in my previous life.
The old lady was also worried, "Do you know what the decree is?"
The maid shook her head.
The old lady raised her hand, and Mother Sun quickly helped her up, and everyone went to the front yard.
The one who came to announce the decree was Eunuch An, who was beside the emperor.
After everyone, including Shen Ji, arrived and knelt on the ground, Eunuch An picked up the bright yellow imperial edict and began to read it.
Shen Wan knelt on the ground. Every time Eunuch An said something, her brows furrowed. When the imperial edict was read out, Shen Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
This is the imperial decree granting her and Xie Jingyu a marriage!
The others also looked at each other.
Shen Ji took the imperial edict and asked Eunuch An, feeling very confused, "The Prince of Jingbei has already come to the palace to propose marriage, so why did the emperor grant a marriage between my daughter and the Prince of Jingbei?"
Eunuch An smiled and said, "Your Highness has some concerns about this marriage. Prince Jingbei has specially requested the Emperor to grant the marriage. Duke Dingguo can rest assured and send his daughter off to marry."
Chen Ji and Yun were completely relieved, and the old lady and the others had nothing to say.
Since the emperor personally issued an order to grant the marriage, naturally he didn't mind.
Only Shen Wan's sky collapsed.
Her marriage to Xie Jingyu was fake and they were going to get divorced.
How to divorce after a marriage is granted by imperial decree?
Prince Jingbei asked for permission to grant the marriage, why didn't Xie Jingyu stop him?
What should I do now?
Chen Wanchou's eyes went dark. She knew that anything related to Xie Jingyu would be out of her control. She had borrowed Xie Jingyu's identity as the Crown Prince's Consort for two years, and she regretted that this move was too impulsive. Now, she might be tied to him for the rest of her life.
Yun praised the Jingbei Palace for its efficient handling of the matter.
Chen Wan was wondering if faking his own death would be considered deceiving the emperor in the future.
