The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

Chapter 245 Pain

Just like back then, he clearly liked Ayuan, but was forced by his parents to marry Jiang.

"No need to say more. After all, the imperial decree was issued by the Empress Dowager, so we have no choice but to accept it. If the Liu family wants to ask, they should ask the Empress Dowager. What does it have to do with us?"

After saying this, Shen Hongtai strode out of the house.

Jiang sneered and ordered Yuanxiang, "Go, tell the young lady not to return home for the next few days."

Aren’t you going to issue an imperial decree?

She saw that no one was there, so she wondered who should go to receive the imperial edict!

But Jiang obviously underestimated Xu's evil maternal nature.

As soon as the imperial edict arrived at the door, Xu and Shen Hongtai went out to greet it and received the edict on behalf of their daughter.

Eunuch Lou looked at Xu, who was kneeling respectfully on the ground, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If the Queen Mother heard about this fun, she would definitely be very happy, right?

There is no one named Yunli in the palace, but there is one in the Shen Mansion.

So the two of them welcomed the servant of the Liu family who told them that the imperial edict had been issued from the palace, and right after that they welcomed the servant of the Shen family who informed them that the second lady had received the edict.

"That's unreasonable!"

Liu Junming was about to stand up but was stopped by Yunli.

"Who takes their behavior seriously? Don't be angry, I'm here, are you afraid that Xiao Feiyu will snatch me away?"

Although Yunli thought this was just a little funny, she still patiently coaxed Liu Junming first, "She, Chen Yuyuan, can't force Xiao Feiyu and I to get married immediately. By the time I'm old enough to get married, she might have turned into ashes. There's no need to compete with her for this moment."

"I'm just angry that everyone is using your marriage as a bargaining chip."

Liu Junming looked at his little girl with some heartache.

The Shen family treated the imperial edict too frivolously, not even giving her time to wait for her to return.

"If you think from the perspective of that old dog Shen Hongtai, this matter is beneficial and harmless, so he will naturally do it. As for that little dog Xu, haha, she has been a joke all her life, and what else is missing?"

Yunli sneered at first, and then suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Junming, do you think there is anything that would cause Shen Hongtai, Xu Manxiu, and Chen Yuyuan to suffer at the same time?"

Liu Junming thought about it, and suddenly he understood, "Mrs. Xu!"

The corner of Yunli's mouth slowly rose into an evil arc.

Since some people are guilty of original sin, it is she who should atone for their sin.

Chen Yiyu and Chen Taifu stood at the palace gate for a long time before Eunuch Lou's godson, Eunuch De, came over with a nod and a smile on his face. He said with difficulty, "The Queen Mother has a headache. Just now when she went to bed, she heard Prime Minister Liu scolding outside. She is feeling very uncomfortable now. The Queen Mother said that in order to avoid distressing the two Masters Chen, she will not see them today. When the Queen Mother feels better in a few days, she will personally summon the two Masters."

"Did the Queen Mother really say this herself? You didn't just spread it?"

Master Chen was shocked. "Why would the Queen Mother not even see us?"

"Master Chen has misunderstood. It's not that we won't see each other, but we will see each other another day." Eunuch De looked embarrassed. "The Queen Mother had just issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, but Liu Xiang came and scolded the Queen Mother for being a hen that crowed at dawn. The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost vomited blood. The Queen Mother must be very upset now."

"Ah."

Chen Yiyu didn’t understand it the first time, and he still couldn’t understand it the second time. What did Yu Yuan mean by this?

My heart sank at that moment.

"Father, let's go back first."

He calmed himself down and said.

He was just too concerned and confused. Not to mention that the girl was only thirteen years old, even if she was twenty-three years old, it would not mean that Yuyuan would marry just because she wanted her to.

The imperial court was originally controlled by more than half of the aristocratic families. As long as more aristocratic families opposed it, Yuyuan's decree would not be issued.

What he wanted to do was to unite the Shen family and the Liu family and force Yuyuan to withdraw the imperial decree.

While holding his father's hand, Chen Yiyu walked out of the palace.

"Didn't you say that the second girl from the Shen family who was granted marriage might be a child of our Chen family? How could a child from the Chen family marry a poor family like the Xiao family so casually?"

Master Chen was extremely anxious at this moment.

If what his son said was true, the girl from the Shen family was his only flesh and blood, how could he let her marry rashly?

"Father, I was afraid that you would worry, so I only told you part of it. I will tell you everything after I return."

At the same time, Liu Haoyan was smashing things in the imperial study.

The emperor sat at the top with his head propped up and his eyes closed. He didn't care about the chaos around him and even enjoyed it. "Father, even if you smash through me, what's the use? If it was an imperial decree issued by me, I would have taken it back right now. But it was issued by my mother, you know, how can I beat her?"

"So you're just going to sit here and do nothing?"

Liu Haoyan was absolutely furious.

"So you're not going to do anything? Am I not just accompanying the Prime Minister to vent my anger?" The emperor said with a playful smile, "If I were to ask you, Prime Minister, you have placed hundreds of beautiful girls in Junming's room, I don't believe he would be bored. Once he sees the beauty of girls, he will naturally be willing to get married. Why do you let him do what he wants and let him be tied to a little girl? How boring it is?"

Liu Haoyan closed his eyes and barely suppressed some of his anger. He then looked at the emperor with hatred, "Where did the ambition you had when you were young go? How did you become what you are now?"

"Alas, life is only a few decades long, we should seize the time and enjoy it. Should we die young like our father did?"

The emperor waved his hands and fell asleep on the chair. "Please don't scold me. In order to help Junming, I pretended to be in love with Shen Qingzhu. But Shen Qingzhu is determined and will not marry anyone but Junming. I can't do anything about it. Instead of scolding me, why don't you just kill Shen Qingzhu and Xiao Feiyu? That way, no one can compete with Junming for his wife."

Liu Haoyan covered his forehead and felt his veins throbbing.

He was already angry enough, and now he's even angrier.

Who understands him?

The newly appointed monarch is a good boy whom he has watched grow up since childhood, which should be a happy event.

But the bad thing is that after the sincere and enthusiastic young man came to power, he suddenly turned into a decadent, licentious and despotic ruler!

"If you're like this, don't just say Shen Qingzhu doesn't like you! Even I don't like you!"

Liu Haoyan could only utter these words in anger.

The emperor above immediately responded, "The Prime Minister is so old, I can't bring myself to say anything."

Enough, enough!

Liu Haoyan felt that for the sake of his own life, it would be better for him not to speak easily.
