Chapter 105 Big Brother Doesn’t Want It, I Want It!
"I have heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Qingyuan, Cao, is intelligent, kind-hearted, and considerate of the greater good. The eldest son of the Marquis of Qingyuan, Shen Qingyuan, is both civil and military, courageous and resourceful. They are both deeply connected and have a harmonious character. Although they have already married, they have not yet held a grand wedding banquet. To demonstrate the royal benevolence, the Empress has specially ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to select an auspicious date and to prepare a dowry of thirty loads for Cao. She has also instructed the Ministry of Rites to expedite all wedding arrangements. This is my decree!"
The sharp and high-pitched voice of the eunuch announcing the decree hovered in the air, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Chunxi was also surprised.
She didn't expect that Shen Qingyuan could really help her get credit, and the Queen even personally issued an imperial decree to ask the Ministry of Rites to help them hold a wedding ceremony.
The Queen Mother has personally praised her, so who would dare to look down on her in the future?
Chunxi happily accepted the decree and stuffed a silver ingot into the hand of the eunuch who delivered it: "It's so hot, you must have worked hard, eunuch."
Chunxi's words were sincere, and his gesture was quite generous. The eunuch put away the silver ingot and smiled, then looked at the Mo family members: "Master Shen hasn't returned home yet, why is the mansion so lively? Even the Mo family members have been invited over?"
Everyone in the Mo family looked embarrassed and didn't dare to speak.
The Queen's decree is still in Cao Chunxi's hands. What are they saying? Are they trying to force her to step down and give up her throne?
Isn't this a slap in the face of the Queen?
The people of the Mo family didn't dare to speak, but Chunxi did. She said with a smile, "My father-in-law, you don't know that the eldest daughter of the Mo family has returned from the dead. Although my husband was not at home when she entered the family, she still entered the family after all. She must give the Mo family an explanation."
The eunuchs who can come to announce the imperial edict have a say in front of the nobles in the palace and can convey the attitudes of the nobles in the palace, but they generally do not interfere in other people's family affairs.
Moreover, how can you casually tell such family privacy to people from the palace without worrying about it getting out and dirtying the ears of the nobles?
Madam Mo glared at Chunxi fiercely and was about to brush the subject off when she heard the eunuch who announced the decree say, "Lord Shen has already informed His Majesty and the Empress about this matter. Miss Mo is still a virgin and has not consummated her marriage with Lord Shen. Now that Lord Shen has remarried, Miss Mo has agreed to cancel the engagement. The two families can part ways amicably."
Part ways amicably?
How can this be amicable?
Ning couldn't help but say, "Eunuch, you don't know, my Wan'er..."
"Second Madam Mo," the eunuch's voice interrupted Ning, his eyes looking at her coldly. "I was just conveying the Empress's words. Madam, are you dissatisfied with the Empress's decision?"
Ning's face turned pale and she quickly lowered her head: "I dare not."
Ning didn't dare to say a word, and the other people in the Mo family didn't dare to speak either.
As the father-in-law left, the rest of the Mo family was about to leave. Madam Mo suddenly spoke up, "Since the Empress said that these two children should part ways amicably, shouldn't Second Sister-in-law take Wan'er home?"
Ning clenched her palms. She had already brought Shen Qingchi to the Tutor's house to show her face, and also said many good things in front of the Tutor's wife. Mo was now simply ungrateful, but the Queen's words were there, and she couldn't do anything about Mo.
Ning clenched her teeth, not daring to look at her daughter's hurt and lost expression.
Mo Yunwan had expected this. With red eyes, she looked at Shen Qingyu sadly.
Because she knew that she could not compete with Chunxi, she flirted with Shen Qingyu many times when they were walking alone on this road.
When she was wiping her body, she pretended to be a snake and threw herself into Shen Qingyu's arms with her clothes disheveled. Her thighs were rubbed raw and she reluctantly asked Shen Qingyu to help her apply medicine. She also hugged Shen Qingyu and called him husband in a daze with a high fever after being caught in the rain.
Shen Qingyu was at the age of full vigor and vitality, and he didn't even have a maid by his side. How could he resist such temptation? Therefore, the two of them had already had sex before returning to Beijing.
Shen Qingyu was reluctant to let Mo Yunwan return to Shen Qingyuan. When Mo Yunwan looked at him like this, his blood immediately surged. He shouted, "Mother, don't send Wan'er away. After all, the Marquis' Mansion owes her this matter. Since my eldest brother is unwilling to recognize this marriage, then let me marry Wan'er!"
As he spoke, Shen Qingyu strode over and protected Mo Yunwan behind him.
Mrs. Mo originally wanted to let Chunxi and Mrs. Ning fight to the death so that she could reap the benefits. She never expected that Shen Qingyu would jump out at this time and say that he wanted to marry Mo Yunwan.
Others may not know what kind of person Mo Yunwan is, but how could she not know?
How could her Yu'er marry such a slut?
Mo's vision went dark for a while, and it took her a long while to find her voice again: "You bastard, she is your sister-in-law, how could you have such dirty thoughts about her?"
Shen Qingyu loudly retorted, "When Wan'er married, my elder brother was not in the capital at all. Wan'er held a rooster in her arms and went to the ceremony. Moreover, Wan'er and my elder brother were not actually husband and wife. Since they did not complete the ceremony, they are not husband and wife. Why can't I marry Wan'er?"
This bitch is not actually married to Shen Qingyuan, but she has been toyed with by that actor for a long time. How can she still be a virgin?
Mrs. Mo knew the truth, but she couldn't say it out loud at this moment. She felt like she had swallowed a thousand needles and wanted to pounce on Mo Yunwan and skin her alive.
If she had known that this bitch would hook up with Yu'er, she should have sent someone to kill this bitch in Xuzhou and never let this bitch come back to make trouble!
Mrs. Mo was so angry that she couldn't breathe. Aunt Jia quickly supported her and said to Shen Qingyu in a stern voice, "Third Young Master, stop messing around. Look how angry you've made the Madam."
Mrs. Mo was really angry, her face was an ugly blue. Shen Qingyu was afraid that she would get hurt by her anger, and was beginning to waver when Mrs. Ning came forward with shining eyes.
"I think Yu'er's suggestion is excellent. Wan'er has already entered the Marquis' Mansion. She has suffered a lot outside for many years. Now that she has finally returned, she is being broken off from engagement. What good family would be willing to marry her? If Shen Qingyuan is unwilling to take responsibility, then let Yu'er take responsibility."
The people of the Mo family also followed suit.
They didn't know about Mo Yunwan's escape with the actor, but Mo Yunwan was old now. Although she had proved her innocence, Mrs. Liang, who could testify for her, had been imprisoned. No one knew who she had been hanging out with during those years when she was away from home. Returning to the Mo family would somewhat affect the reputation of the women in the clan. It would be better for her to remarry Shen Qingyu and continue the relationship between the two families.
Hearing that everyone in the Mo family favored the Ning family, Mo felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat and almost vomited blood.
She glared at Ning with immense resentment: "Get out of here! I'm telling you, as long as I'm still breathing, I will never agree to this marriage!"
Chunxi went from being the person involved to being a spectator, and was almost shocked by Shen Qingyu's words.
Good fellow, he even dares to covet the married sister-in-law.
Will using this pig's brain as a stool make her stupid?
