Chapter 125: Xu Yaozu prepares for the rainy day and Luo Jinan writes a divorce letter

Xu Nian sat in the carriage waiting anxiously. She had never thought that her father's reaction to her and Luo Jinan's relationship would be so great.

She had thought that due to Luo Jinan's physical condition, her family might not approve of it, but she had the excuse of the Mountain Goddess, so she was confident that her family would accept it.

Yanxiu looked at the young lady who was distracted and felt a little anxious. She had never seen the young lady so flustered before. In fact, she was also frightened when she saw the angry old man just now. Although she always prevented His Royal Highness from getting close to the young lady, it was for the sake of the young lady's reputation. If the old man really separated the young lady and His Royal Highness, she would still be very sad, because she had never seen anyone as good to the young lady as His Royal Highness.

Just when Xu Nian looked outside for the umpteenth time, he finally saw Luo Jinan and Xu Yaozu.

She hurriedly jumped off the carriage and ran towards the two of them. Xu Yaozu bowed to Luo Jinan and said, "I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he did not give Xu Nian a chance to speak and took her into the carriage.

Xu Nian didn't know what the two of them said or how the conversation went. From time to time, she glanced at Xu Yaozu, who was resting his eyes in the car. She opened her mouth but didn't ask.

Xu Yaozu's heart was not at peace at this time, and he tried hard to control his trembling hands. This was because he was holding a divorce letter and an imperial edict in his arms.

Although Xu Yaozu was shocked and angry at first about discovering the relationship between the prince and his daughter, when he calmed down, he realized that he was powerless to stop it.

Not only because of Luo Jinan's identity, but also because he knew his daughter a little bit. From his daughter's expression just now, he knew that his daughter had set her mind on His Royal Highness the Prince and would not be easily shaken.

According to Xu Nian's personality, she would not give up even if her family opposed it. But Xu Yaozu knew that his daughter was kind-hearted and was not suitable for the deep mansion of the palace.

He was afraid that one day his daughter would be imprisoned and the Xu family would be powerless to rescue her. He knew very well that the Xu family could only reach its current position because of the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince. He was worried that if one day the Prince treated Nian'er badly, he and even the Xu family would be powerless to support Nian'er.

Therefore, knowing that he was powerless to stop it, he came up with an idea, which was to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to write a letter of divorce.

If one day Nian'er is wronged in the palace, at least she can leave the palace and return home. I believe that with him and Ji'er around, Nian'er will never be left without a place to stay.

But Xu Yaozu also knew that his request was very rude and even disrespectful, because even divorce for ordinary officials was not an easy matter, let alone for the prince of the emperor.

According to royal rules, divorce was not allowed. Even if a woman married into the royal family and lived an unhappy life, she would only waste her life.

After making up his mind, he did not beat around the bush and told Luo Jinan all his concerns and put forward his own demands.

Xu Yaozu thought that Luo Jinan might be unhappy or even dissatisfied to hear this request, but he didn't expect Luo Jinan to just smile.

"I'm glad that Uncle Xu protects Nian Nian. Come here—"

Mo Zhu pushed the door open and walked in, "Your Highness."

"Get some paper and pen."

While Xu Yaozu was still in a daze, Luo Jinan had already taken the paper and pen from Mo Zhu. Xu Yaozu looked at the three words "Divorce Letter" written on the paper and was still a little dazed.

"Your Highness, don't you want to think about it?"

Luo Jin'an said loudly: "No need to consider it, because I am confident that this letter of divorce will not be used."

Xu Yaozu was somewhat moved. At least it was hard to find a man who could do what Luo Jinan did. Although Xu Yaozu was very moved at the moment, when Luo Jinan handed him the written divorce letter, he still accepted it happily.

Xu Yaozu gently patted the divorce agreement in his arms, and felt a little more at ease.

At this moment, Luo Jinan opposite him took off the wooden hairpin on his head, turned it around, and took out a piece of yellow silk from it.

Luo Jinan spread the yellow silk on the table and began to write on it. Although Xu Yaozu was curious, the handwriting was too small, so he could only stand aside and wait.

After Luo Jinan finished writing, he handed the yellow silk to Xu Yaozu and said, "Uncle Xu, please keep this as well."

Xu Yaozu took the yellow silk with both hands and looked at it carefully. He knelt on the ground in shock. He looked at it again uncertainly, and saw that the emperor's golden seal was stamped on the lower right corner of the yellow silk. It turned out that the yellow silk was originally a blank imperial edict.

Xu Yaozu tried hard to calm himself down and looked at the content of the imperial edict. The more he read, the more shocked he became. How could... How could His Royal Highness the Prince do such a thing?

"If one day Nian Nian is really wronged by me, a divorce letter will not be able to save her from worry. This is the imperial decree left by the late emperor. Even the current emperor has to obey it, let alone me. I wonder if this will make Uncle Xu feel at ease to hand Nian Nian over to me."

Xu Yaozu was very surprised when he saw Luo Jinan, who was calm and collected across from him. The prince just used a blank imperial edict on Nian'er.

Xu Yaozu stopped his trembling body, stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

At this moment, Xu Yaozu knew very well that no one could do as much for his daughter as His Royal Highness the Prince, even if they were their closest relatives.

He would not think that the prince still had a blank imperial edict from the previous emperor in his hand, and that this imperial edict could have originally been used to help the prince ascend to the highest position, but now it had become an edict to confer the title of princess on the prince.

Xu Yaozu, who had entered the officialdom, had also heard about the prophecy about Luo Jin'an, so he felt that this imperial edict was even more heavy.

Xu Yaozu, who was sitting in the carriage, of course felt his daughter's gaze, but he just said he didn't feel it because he was afraid that he would lose his composure as soon as he opened his mouth.

After Luo Jin'an watched Xu Nian's carriage go away, he also turned around and got on his own horse. Mo Zhu followed closely behind, but just as he got on the horse, he saw the prince had already galloped away.

The reason why Luo Jinan was so anxious was because he couldn't suppress his excitement at the moment.

He hurried back to the palace, but did not go back to his own Yicaoyuan, but went to the princess's Shujingyuan.

Princess Zhenshu of Zhenbei was listening to a singer playing the pipa in the hall when she saw Luo Jinan walking in quickly.

She raised her hand to stop the singer's action and looked at her little son who was bowing with a smile.

"Didn't you accompany Miss Xu to the sugar factory? Why are you back so early?"

Luo Jin'an did not answer, but smiled brightly, "Mother, I want to get engaged."

Zhenshu didn't hear clearly what Luo Jinan said, because she was attracted by the smile on Luo Jinan's face at that moment. She seemed to see Luo Jinan when he was a child, the smiling little dumpling.

Luo Jin'an looked at his mother who was staring at him with red eyes, and knew that his mother did not hear what he said just now, so he said it again aloud.

"Mother, I want to get engaged."
