"The rumors circulating among the people are quite unpleasant, saying that the Feng family, in order to curry favor with the Crown Prince, forced Feng Yu to marry someone..."
At this point, Liu Zhiyuan paused slightly, coughed awkwardly, and then skipped over that sentence to continue.
"Old Mrs. Feng couldn't swallow this insult, so she took out her 'get-out-of-jail-free card' and told Feng Yu that if he didn't want to agree to the marriage, he could just refuse it. Anyway, the family had a 'get-out-of-jail-free card' that could save his life."
Upon hearing this, Li Youran was overjoyed. Originally, she wasn't entirely confident about Feng Yu's decision to annul the engagement, but now that the Imperial Uncle's mansion had a get-out-of-jail-free card, things were about to change.
"If Feng Yu disobeys the imperial decree, then it has nothing to do with us."
After Li Youran finished speaking, she looked at Liu Zhiyuan and continued with a smile.
How confident are you that your news is true?
"I heard it from the procurement officer from the Feng family. It is said that Old Madam Feng wanted to go to the palace to see the Emperor with the gold medal, but she was stopped by the Emperor's brother-in-law. That's why Old Madam Feng later said those words to Feng Yu with the gold medal that she was exempt from death."
Hearing Liu Zhiyuan say this, Li Youran knew that this matter was very likely true, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although she had been busy with Mixue Ice Cream these days, she was still worried about this marriage.
With Feng Yu now possessing a get-out-of-jail-free card, coupled with the fact that the Feng family matriarch strongly disapproves of the marriage, the chances of the Feng family annuling the engagement have increased considerably.
Why hasn't an announcement been issued yet regarding the Third Prince's demotion to commoner status?
Long before Lady Liu came to find Li Youran, the Third Prince had already been demoted to a commoner, but seven days had passed and there was still no announcement from Kungfu.
"His Highness the Third Prince not only possesses vast assets, but his affairs also involve many court officials. Until this matter is completely resolved, His Highness the Third Prince will remain imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. Only after the truth of the matter is fully revealed will His Highness be reassigned."
As Liu Zhiyuan spoke, he told Li Youran about the affairs of the court.
Li Youran originally thought that the matter would end once the Third Prince was demoted to a commoner, but she did not expect that being demoted to a commoner was only part of the story.
