C2 edict for marriage

However, the person that appeared at the door wasn't her mother.

It was a young woman wearing a warm yellow dress, about the same age as her. The woman had a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Her entire body exuded an arrogant aura.

When she was still a female assassin, she knew that the rich girls were usually well-dressed, whether it was their dresses or accessories, or even their makeup, they were all carefully selected and had to be the best.

They were born with a natural sense of superiority, so they looked down on others.

"Ban Xia, I didn't think that your life would be so tough! you didn't drown even after falling into the water for such a long time, you can still live. "

Earlier, Mu Lian had only heard that Little Sister Shu fell into the water and hadn't died yet. She had only fallen into a coma and was still unwilling to believe it. Now that she had personally come and met Little Sister Shu, she couldn't help but resent this little sister Shu's luck for being too good and tough.

She had spent a lot of effort in order to lure this little sister into the lotus pond in the backyard, and then she deliberately created an incident where she fell into the water. She didn't expect that just like that, this damned girl was still alive!

There were no outsiders here anyway, so she had no qualms about sending her lass outside.

After his rebirth, as a female assassin, Ban Xia's vigilance was not reduced by one bit.

Very soon, she realized a serious problem from these sarcastic remarks.

"So you're saying, you were the one who did the thing about me falling into the water. Was it you who purposely planned it?"

But why was it that the truth she heard from her own mother was a completely different matter?

Her mother was an honest, middle-aged woman. Perhaps it was because she was afraid that she would know the truth and cause trouble, causing the mother and daughter pair to be even more embarrassed. That was why she intentionally lied to her.

Mu Lian laughed contemptuously, "Aren't you so stupid that you can't be saved? I came here to warn you, don't think that you can stay in this mansion and dream about getting something that doesn't belong to you. As a person, you should be more tactful.

Ban Xia, who was lying on the collapsed bed, finally understood most of what was being said.

"You should be regretting it, regretting that you did not kill me!"

In her previous life, it was absolutely impossible for her to behave herself and be humble!

A fierce light blossomed in her eyes.

Mu Lian suddenly had a ridiculous thought. Was this little sister Shu really weak that she could be bullied? It was as if that wasn't the case.

But soon, she shook her head and forced herself to put that thought aside.

In this Shang Shu Fu, she was a doted on daughter. There was no need to talk about her noble identity, her birth mother was the Owner Mother of this house, who could go against her? That means, I don't want to stay in the Shang Shu Fu anymore!

This wild girl who came from an unknown village wanted to become a Second Miss. Wanting to take away her beloved, to be able to earn a place in the Duke Palace was most likely just a dream!

"Trouble will come from the mouth. Don't think that daddy will send people to bring you back from the countryside and you will think too highly of yourself. Look at how you've fallen into the water, daddy still doesn't have the time to bother with a wild girl like you."

Although Mu Lian's words were harsh, it was a cruel reality.

"Let me tell you, if you want to protect your mother's life, in the future, whenever my mother is around, or wherever I am, you two better stay far away. Otherwise, it will be seeking your own death!"

After throwing these harsh words, Mu Lian covered her mouth and nose in disgust and left the simple and shabby room of a servant.

That's right, the butler had arranged for the mother and daughter to be in the lowest class room in Shang Shu Fu.

"Eldest Miss!"

In the outer room, Liu's was carrying a bit of food she had gotten from the kitchen with great difficulty. She was walking with her head down, but she almost bumped into Mu Lian, scaring her to the point that she had to lower her head in apology.

"Hmph, these are all lowly bastards!" Mu Lian was swearing. It was obvious that she was not in a good mood. It was as though there was some terrifying plague here. She did not want to stay here for even a second longer.

Liu's, however, was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly carried the food in his hands and went into the house to see his daughter.

"Ban Xia, the young miss will ? I didn't make things difficult for you about anything, right? "

The Liu's was timid and naturally asked questions with caution.

Ban Xia glanced at her and asked unhappily, "Why are you lying to me? I didn't fall into the water because of that person. Why did you cover for her and not let me know the truth? "

Maybe it was because her tone of voice was cold and solemn, Liu's's expression seemed as though she was about to cry from fright.

"Ban Xia, she is the direct descendent of the Shang Shu Fu, the respected eldest miss. Her birth mother is also the Owner Mother of the Shang Shu Fu, and in this house, it can be said that she can cover the sky with her hands. Mother doesn't dare to tell you the truth, the reason is because I'm afraid that if you find out, you will impulsively use things to provoke people you shouldn't provoke!"

Ban Xia was not moved at all, she only felt pain in her heart.

"Could it be that if we just endure and retreat, we will be able to live a peaceful life? Wrong, on the contrary, we can only make those people look down on us and want to trample on us even more! Give them more chances to harm us! "

Deep in Ban Xia's bones, she was stubborn and unwilling to easily admit defeat.

As a female assassin in her previous life, she had suffered a tragic fate of being killed. This made her even more convinced that her fate could only be firmly grasped in her own hands!

"Ban Xia, you... You were not like this in the past, but don't say these kinds of outrageous words again in the future. Be careful of the walls and the ears, if you are heard by someone, you can go to the Lady and Master to complain.

Liu's was even afraid and tightly covering Ban Xia's mouth to prevent her from spouting any more nonsense.

Ban Xia shook her head weakly. Her mother was good in everything except for being too weak.

The peaceful days of recuperation had only been two days when a major event had arrived in the Shang Shu Fu.

Even though Ban Xia and her daughter lived in a remote room in a servant's backyard, she could still hear the 'big news' that was going to happen in the Palace from the other servants' mouths.

The current emperor had personally issued an imperial decree bestowing marriage, bestowing the daughter of the Shang Shu Fu of the Rites to the Prince Feather who had achieved outstanding military merits.

This should have been a glorious marriage. Although the official position of Minister for Rites, the Minister for Rites, was well-known and pleasant to hear, he didn't have much actual power. As for the military power, he was even less likely to get it. Being able to climb to the current Prince Feather was naturally a good fortune for the Minister of Rites.

But right now, in the entire mansion, there was still one other matter being discussed.

The only weakness of this Prince Feather who had accomplished great things in battle was that his body was unspeakably ill. It was said that in one battle, this Prince Feather had accidentally been severely injured, causing him to be crippled.

If she couldn't do it, then wouldn't she become a widow after she married into the family?

With the title of 'Royal Consort', glory was indeed an honor, but if one had to give their life's worth of 'happiness' ?

Ban Xia shrunk her neck, and listened to the discussions of the people by the side with relish, feeling extremely carefree.

Mu Lian, this is your retribution.

Who told you to be so arrogant, so violent, and so arrogant before?

At this moment, Mu Lian's eyes were red from crying. She was looking for death in her room.

"Marrying an immoral man, I might as well die!"

Shen stood at the side and tried to persuade her.

"Silly girl, you must not do anything stupid. This matter has not been settled yet, right? "However, this is the emperor's decree. If you publicly disobey the imperial edict, this is a disobedience. This is a great crime, one that needs to be beheaded."

Even someone as astute as her couldn't think of anything at the moment.

However, the key problem was that the other party could not do anything to him, so wouldn't marrying his own daughter into the Prince Feather would just be harming this girl for the rest of her life?

He thought about how there were so many famous ladies in the capital, how did he pick out her daughter just like that?

"Mother, I don't care, I just won't marry. If you and Father insist on marrying me, then I can only choose a dead end for myself! You and Father can just help me collect my corpse! " The nature of a wooden lotus was also strong. Marriage was a woman's life and death matter, and she didn't want to live with an eunuch for the rest of her life.

"Sigh, your father is also worrying. Mu Lian, promise your mother not to do anything stupid. Your mother will think of a way for you!" Naturally, the Shen was also unwilling to let her daughter suffer.

In the front hall, Du Xueli's face was filled with worry. The imperial edict in his hand was held tightly, as if it weighed a thousand kilograms.

He was the head of the family, as well as an official of the imperial court. No one knew better than him what kind of calamity the disobedience of the decree would bring to the entire Du Family.

Moreover, if he were to openly disobey the decree, there was no way for Prince Feather to explain himself. If he were to cause Prince Feather to lose face, it would be better for him not to live.

After the initial gossip, the servants had become cautious.

There was no helping it, the masters' faces were all ugly. Naturally, small people like them had to shrink their necks to keep a low profile and work hard.

But at night, after work was over, they would talk in whispers.

"Do you think this young miss will marry, or won't she?"

"Let me tell you, there was also a widow at the east end of the village. That widow was really pitiful, as soon as they went to the village, her husband fell sick and couldn't take it anymore, and it took many years for her husband to recover. At the beginning, the widow served her husband well, but after a while, the widow ended up secretly sleeping with an unmarried farmer in the village.

Ban Xia, who was living in the room next door, also pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip, treating it as a pass away time for him.

"In the end, her husband must have been angered to death by her!"

"Wrong, let me tell you this, in the end, her husband was indeed angered. Then one day, he actually got up from the collapsed bed, took a machete from the kitchen, and, with a machete in his hand, found the farmer's house. In the end, he too vomited blood and died. Tsk tsk, what a miserable cry! "
