Chapter 13 I will never let you down in this life!
Jiang spoke very sincerely, but she never mentioned using the membership fee to repay the debt, which made Zhao Shuning feel very relieved.
Although the Marquis' Mansion was not as wealthy as she had imagined, which disappointed her, her husband treated her sincerely and her mother-in-law was also reasonable, except that her sister-in-law was greedy. But she would get married eventually, and her future life would only get better and better.
That night, Chu Yian still stayed in Qingdai Pavilion.
Zhao Shuning took the initiative to hug the man's strong and broad arms from behind, and the fragrance after the bath penetrated his nostrils, but Chu Yian was preoccupied and had no intention of being gentle.
Zhao Shuning spoke softly, "Yian, I know everything. The Marquis' Mansion was in trouble, why didn't you tell me? Instead, you went outside to ask others for help."
Chu Yian paused for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice, "That's our wedding banquet, and asking you to pay for it is inappropriate."
Zhao Shuning felt a slight soreness in his nose and was deeply moved.
"Money is just a material possession. Compared to your dignity, what does it mean? Besides, this is our wedding banquet. How can I just sit back and watch? I've already told my mother that I'll pay for it."
Chu Yian turned around, "Shuning, I can't..."
Zhao Shuning put her hand on his lips and said, "For our future, I am willing to pay any price as long as you treat me consistently."
The emotion in Chu Yian's eyes was almost overflowing. He looked at Zhao Shuning deeply, his tone firm and resolute.
"I swear to God, I will never let you down in this life!"
The two looked at each other affectionately and soon embraced and kissed each other.
Once the money arrived, Jiang immediately started to get busy.
In order to take this opportunity to make friends with the powerful, Jiang was very concerned about this banquet and strived for perfection in every aspect.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan were both very cautious, fearing that their young lady would be upset by the hustle and bustle outside.
Lu Zhiran's mood was very peaceful.
Tomorrow she will go to the palace to meet the emperor.
Thanks to the merits of the business, she was 80% sure of obtaining the imperial decree for divorce.
Even if the emperor doesn't agree, she will still divorce on her own.
The news that the Marquis' Mansion was going to hold a wedding banquet spread like wildfire.
Lu Zhiran closed the door to check the accounts, and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, but she knew everything that was going on outside clearly.
Because in order to stimulate her, Chu Yunqing took the trouble to pass the message to Yushengju.
The story of Zhao Shuning and Chu Yian quickly became popular in the capital and became a legend.
However, as the legal wife, she was vilified in this story and became an unnecessary person who came between the two men.
She was just an ignorant woman trapped in the inner chamber. How could she be worthy of the brave and invincible general?
Only a female doctor like Zhao Shuning who can save the world is a good match for the general.
Their wedding banquet was scheduled for ten days later.
The Xuanping Marquisate was eager to socialize with the nobles in the capital, and Chu Yian was also very worried about his pending mission, so the time was set very tight.
The most interesting thing is that all the money for this wedding banquet came from Zhao Shuning.
Cui Fu, Dan Yan and others were shocked and laughed at Zhao Shuning for being such a fool.
Lu Zhiran couldn't laugh after hearing this.
Because in her previous life, she was a brainless fool. Under Jiang's soft and hard persuasion, she actually paid money to hold a wedding banquet for her husband and another woman.
In this life, Jiang found that she was no longer so easy to control, so she changed her target and asked Zhao Shuning to pay the money herself.
The man who was so strong and domineering in front of her in the previous life was actually played around by Jiang in this life. Lu Zhiran could only sigh that when it comes to winning people's hearts, Jiang is still the best.
Jiang is selfish and stingy, and Zhao Shuning is not a good man. Sooner or later, the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will break out completely.
Will Chu Yian stand by Jiang's side and be a filial son, or will he protect Zhao Shuning and be a good husband? Lu Zhiran couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
The next day, the day to meet the emperor finally arrived.
Lu Zhiran was wearing a light blue cloud-mist robe. Her hairpins and rings swayed slightly as she walked, but made no sound. Her gait was graceful, neither humble nor arrogant.
She was led outside a palace, where she straightened her back and waited quietly.
In the imperial study, Xiao Yanci sat there casually.
He was probably the only one who dared to be so unruly in front of Emperor Defeng.
Emperor Defeng said with disdain, "I have business to attend to. Go wherever you want."
Xiao Yanci remained seated, "That's my savior. I have to keep a close eye on him. Otherwise, what if you bully him?"
Emperor Defeng's face twitched. "What nonsense are you talking about? She is a great contributor to the Great Qi State. How could I treat her unfairly?"
Xiao Yanci was extremely disrespectful when he exposed the old secret. "That's hard to say. After all, you just conferred the fifth rank imperial decree on your husband's concubine a few days ago. Poor Miss Lu, she waited anxiously for her husband for three years, only to end up with this result."
Emperor Defeng: ...
He was a little embarrassed. "What do you know? Chu Yian made the greatest contribution, and I publicly promised him a generous reward. But he asked for this imperial decree to confer the title. If I don't grant it, wouldn't I be contradicting myself?"
Xiao Yanci immediately turned his attention to the situation, "That bastard Chu Yian wanted to be the ungrateful Chen Shimei, but he dragged my father into being the villain. He actually plotted against you. How despicable!"
How could the emperor be wrong? Even if he was wrong, it was someone else's fault.
Xiao Yanci's words naturally gave Emperor Defeng a way out. His face suddenly darkened and his good impression of Chu Yian was greatly reduced.
Xiao Yanci: "Father, the Taicang Trading Company played an indispensable role in our resounding victory in the Battle of Xiping. You must not treat our heroes unfairly; it will be disheartening."
Emperor Defeng was a little annoyed. He had originally planned a reward, but with the incident of his wife being granted an imperial decree, no matter what reward he gave, it would seem unsatisfactory.
Xiao Yanci spoke at the right moment, "Why don't you let her propose it herself? You can give her whatever reward she asks for. That way, you can treat everyone equally. The fact that Taicang Trading Company has done such a righteous act shows that she is not short-sighted and narrow-minded. She will certainly not make requests that would embarrass our father."
Emperor Defeng glanced at him sideways and said, "It's rare for you to speak well of someone like this."
Xiao Yanci was once again in his carefree state, "Who told her to be my savior? I don't like to owe anyone anything."
Emperor Defeng waved his hand to send the man away. This time, Xiao Yanci didn't say much and got up and left quickly.
After waiting for two cups of tea in the corridor, Lu Zhiran was invited into the hall.
Catching a glimpse of a bright yellow piece of clothing from the corner of his eye, Lu Zhiran saluted the head in a standard manner.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, is greeted by your Majesty."
A majestic voice came from the top, "Stand up."
Lu Zhiran stood up, still with his brows lowered, not daring to look directly at the emperor.
She could feel the gaze from above her, which contained a hint of pressure.
Emperor Defeng: "I didn't expect that the owner of Taicang Trading Company would be a little girl. This is really beyond my expectation."
