They didn't even get inside your house.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me this favor and dissolve my engagement with the Lin family. Although the young master Lin has already gone through the traditional betrothal ceremony, I have not yet entered the Lin family's gate, nor have we paid our respects or consummated our marriage. Therefore, the engagement is invalid. Moreover, the young master Lin is already married to Miss Zhou, and I do not wish to become his concubine!" Li Zhiwei quickly said, following Zhu Jingchen's lead.
“Your Majesty, it was indeed impolite of my son to let the concubine in first, but Jitong and Miss Li did exchange betrothal gifts,” Lin Qihua said with dissatisfaction. He hadn’t expected Li Zhiwei to be so ungrateful.
“Father, Sister A-Tang is not a concubine!” Lin Jitong said with dissatisfaction from the side.
"Shut up!" Lin Qihua didn't expect Lin Jitong to still be concerned about whether Zhou Yutang was a concubine at this time.
According to Lin Qihua's idea, all they need to do is tell outsiders that Zhou Yutang is a concubine.
As a result, he was working so hard to gain benefits for them, but his own son turned out to be his useless teammate, dragging him down.
"Mother!" Lin Jitong tugged at Luo Shi's sleeve in dissatisfaction.
He didn't want to be separated from his cousin.
Although Zhou was also unhappy with Lin Qihua's words, she dared not say anything in front of the Emperor.
"If that's the case, then I will grant permission to cancel the marriage between the Lin and Li families." Zhu Jingchen ignored the Lin family's petty actions and instead looked at Xu Heming with a slight smile.
That old rascal, it's about time he got married.
Thinking back, this person was brought home by that little guy Xu Qingshi. That kid knows how to pick people.
"Your Majesty!" Lin Qihua frowned; this was not the outcome he wanted.
Without the Li family's support, his plans with his master would fall through.
Moreover, the Li family has thus gained the Emperor's favor, so even if he wanted to do something, it wouldn't be easy for him.
"Minister Xu, convey my decree to summon Li Tianyou to the palace for an audience with the Emperor." Zhu Jingchen actually admired Li Tianyou's ability to make money. If such a capable person could be recruited to serve the court, then perhaps his belt wouldn't be so tight in the future.
“Your Majesty, Li Tianyou is currently in Li’an County and it will be difficult for him to enter the palace for the time being,” Xu Heming quickly said.
"It's alright, we'll go to the palace once we get to the capital." Zhu Jingchen was in a very good mood after receiving a large sum of money.
"yes!"
"This humble woman thanks Your Majesty for your great favor!" Li Zhiwei quickly expressed her gratitude.
"Minister Xu, before Li Tianyou entered the palace, Miss Li temporarily stayed at the Prince An's residence. You are responsible for entertaining Miss Li on my behalf, and you must not treat her lightly! Minister Lin, now that Miss Li's engagement with the Lin family has been dissolved, I hope you will not disturb Miss Li any further." Zhu Jingchen thought for a moment and then instructed the two of them.
"Your Majesty, I have already sent some of my dowry to the Lin family. Now that the marriage with the Lin family has been called off, those things..." Li Zhiwei looked at Zhu Jingchen with a pleading expression and said.
Those large items that were sent to the Lin family first were all carefully obtained by their parents.
We can't let the Lin family benefit from this.
“Li Zhiwei, those things belong to my Lin family,” Lin Jitong said unhappily.
You should know that he had already given those things to his cousin.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will return all the dowry to Miss Li in full," Lin Qihua said through gritted teeth.
