The entire An family, including the third lady who had knelt in the ancestral hall for three days but was too sick to get out of bed, knelt in the hall to receive the order together, which shows how honorable this matter was.

An Hong, who respectfully stuffed the money and sent away the eunuch who delivered the edict, respectfully enshrined it in the ancestral hall without letting An Ruoyu take any more of the edict.

Some of the entire An family were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year, some had faces twisted with envy and jealousy, and some were so angry that they tore their brocade quilts to pieces and vomited blood.

After everyone left happily, only the third lady An Ruoxia, whose knees were as swollen as a steamed bun, was helped up with difficulty by the maid next to her.

Raising her head, her delicate and tender face showed an expression full of twisted hatred. Aunt Su carefully supported her daughter and asked worriedly, "Xia'er, are you okay? How is your leg?"

"Auntie! I am not willing to give in! I am not willing to give in!"

An Ruoxia gritted her teeth and looked at her aunt with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of hatred.

"Shh! Xia'er, don't talk! Don't talk! Your aunt knows all your suffering and your hatred. Be good, let's talk about it when we get back! The situation is stronger than the person!"

Aunt Su quickly covered her daughter's mouth to prevent her from saying more unpleasant words. She looked around cautiously and then gave a warning look at the maid Biyu beside her daughter, and gently coaxed her daughter to leave.

"What can we avoid? Who in this house doesn't know that An Ruoyu and I have a deep hatred, so what should we worry about?"

But An Ruoxia is not a considerate person, and she is not a very smart person. Now, this marriage and this imperial edict have already driven the poisonous weeds of jealousy in her heart to skyrocket.

"Why is that bitch An Ruoyu so lucky? It's all because of me! How could she have such a good marriage if it weren't for me?"

Looking at Aunt Su An Ruoxia with red eyes, she just felt that God was playing tricks on her, "But now she, An Ruoyu, is so famous. Not only does she have a husband like Ding Guogong, but she also has the emperor's decree of marriage, but I am blamed by everyone."

Speaking of being vicious, I knelt in the ancestral hall for three whole days, and my legs were almost broken!"

"Why! Why is God so unfair? Why does God do this to me? Why!"

"Auntie, I won't give in. I won't give in! You help me! You help me!"

Holding her aunt's hand tightly, An Ruoxia looked at Aunt Su with a crazy expression. Only her aunt could help her! Only her aunt could help her!

"Okay, okay! Auntie, help you! Auntie, help you!"

Looking at her only daughter in this life with distress, Aunt Su felt as much hatred in her heart as she did.

"My aunt knows about your suffering and your unwillingness to accept it! You all know it! Don't worry, my aunt will definitely help you. Be obedient, Xia'er. The most important thing now is your body. My aunt will definitely let you get what you want."

An Ruoyu, who had no idea that she was being taken care of, returned to her house with a tired face after receiving the imperial edict and dealing with a group of people from the An family.

Behind them, Ah Zao and Ah Tao were smiling happily, as brightly as the peach blossoms blooming ten miles behind them.

"Miss, with this imperial edict, your marriage is finalized. This is really great!"

"No, this imperial edict granting marriage must have been requested by Duke Dingguo. It seems that Duke Dingguo still cares about you, Miss. Miss, your blessings are yet to come."

A Tao clasped her hands together and was full of expectations for the future. The most right thing she did in her life was to agree to Madam to serve the Fourth Miss. The Fourth Miss was really a blessing. As the Fourth Miss's personal maid, perhaps...

"Okay, don't be too complacent. With this imperial edict of marriage, I am standing on the cusp of the storm. You can't get carried away at this time. You should be careful, otherwise I won't be able to protect you if something happens."

Looking at the two maids who were so happy that they were bubbling with joy, An Ruoyu shook her head and warned them a few words. Nowadays, they are too conspicuous, and things are most likely to go wrong when they are proud.

"It's Miss."

The two maids looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They were not fools. They naturally knew the young lady's worries. If nothing else, the third young lady would probably go crazy. The good days were coming, so they couldn't do it last minute.

Something happened to my foot.

"But after all, this is a good thing. You go and let the kitchen cook something delicious. Let's celebrate today too."

Seeing that her words made the two maids instantly nervous, she laughed again and ordered them to get something delicious to celebrate. It was always a happy thing.

But after the two left, the smile on An Ruoyu's lips fell.

When the dust settled, An Ruoyu's heart finally dropped. She was not a concubine, but a wife! It was settled that she would marry into the Duke of Dingguo!

Although she has no special feelings for Song Yu, Duke of Dingguo, she has to say that he is the best candidate for a husband. Compared with the young master of the Wang family and the family that the An family can find for her, Song Yu can be said to be the best candidate for her to marry.

The ceiling has been raised, I am not dissatisfied, I am just happy.

But if her high-spirited heart fell to the ground at the beginning, after receiving this imperial edict, her heart lifted again.

Who is An Ruoyu?

A little concubine of the fifth-rank Honglu Temple Shaoqing!

In this capital city full of nobles, I can only be regarded as a mediocre sesame seed. To climb the big tree of Duke Dingguo's mansion is to have bad luck. I have done great things in my previous life.

He Dehe Neng actually bothered the emperor to order the marriage in person. What an honor it was. It was so honorable that everyone in the An family was overjoyed, and it was so honorable that she felt uneasy.

Nowadays, I am not a person who likes to read mandarin duck genealogies, and it is very rare to grant marriages. Needless to say, this imperial edict is the skill of Song Yu, the Duke of Dingguo.

But why?

After receiving the decree of marriage, she was happy for a short moment, but then her mind began to be filled with questions.

Why did Song Yu, Duke of Dingguo, do this? Why did he request such an imperial edict?

An Hong stuffed a big purse into the father-in-law who delivered the edict. The father-in-law reciprocated the favor and made a few remarks, saying that it was Duke Ding's wish and the emperor's blessing. With this edict, even the princess would not dare to embarrass her openly.

.

The rest of the An family believed it, but she didn't.

What's the use of an imperial edict if you really want to do it? It's useless even if a person dies with a jade seal in his hand.

It wasn't that Duke Ding had never thought about resuming their marriage before, but it still failed. Song Yu didn't even ask for a marriage decree, but it happened that she, a lowly person, got this decree.

She absolutely did not believe that Song Yu was in love with her. It was just a one-time relationship. Even if she kissed him, she would not have any feelings. A person like Ding Guogong, who held a high position and was the mainstay of the court, had a perseverance in his character.

The complexity of thoughts is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and this imperial edict is by no means simple.
