Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Chapter 108 Leng Aotian’s purpose

Su Yi stretched out his hand and held Lin Shu tightly under the table, trying to calm Lin Shu down. He was worried that Lin Shu would anger Emperor Lan for Hao Yue.

Hao Yue also looked a little bad at this time. She could not clearly refuse Lan Di, nor could she directly agree to Leng Aotian's request.

Hao Yue felt so hateful!

Hao Yue wished very much that she had never met Leng Aotian.

She was obviously going to get married to Zifang soon, and she had already found the person she wanted to spend her whole life with.

Why does Leng Aotian want to get involved at this time?

"Back to the emperor, my elder brother has the final say in matters involving civilian girls. He just arranged a marriage for the civilian girls a few days ago."

"The eldest brother is the father. If the elder brother is absent, it is not easy for a daughter to make the decision about her own marriage."

"Why don't you let it go for now, and wait until the civilian girl goes back to ask her brother before replying to the emperor."

Hao Yue knew that this might anger Emperor Lan.

But she didn't want Leng Aotian to get what he wanted.

So I can only find ways to delay time.

Leng Aotian clenched his fists angrily.

Hao Yue had just returned to the capital, so how could he get engaged so quickly?

This was clearly a reason to prevaricate him.

Emperor Lan was a little angry. Hao Yue didn't agree directly. Wasn't he rejecting the matter in disguise?

Seeing that Emperor Lan was about to get angry, Xiao Yan took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo is loyal and courageous. For the sake of peace between the two countries, he must be willing to bear the pain and marry Miss Hao to His Royal Highness the Prince of Linyuan Kingdom."

"Why don't you, Your Majesty, give Miss Hao some time and ask her to go back and talk to Duke Ding? I think everyone in Duke Ding's house will not reject your kindness, Your Majesty."

With Xiao Yan's help, Lan Di's complexion improved slightly.

"Miss Hao, do you think so?"

Xiao Yan's words not only contained threats, but also some gloating.

Who asked Hao Yue to spoil his good deeds? Since he didn't marry Lin Shu, Hao Yue couldn't even think about having an easy time.

Thinking of Lin Shu, Xiao Yan glanced at Lin Shu and Su Yi and found that Lin Shu and Su Yi were very close.

Xiao Yan's eyes were very hurt. On the day Lin Shu and Su Yi got married, he saw Lin Shu sitting on the sedan chair from a distance.

Not only that, but among Lin Shu's dowry, there were eighteen sets that he sent to the Shi Mansion that day. Unexpectedly, the betrothal gift turned into a dowry.

Liu Shangshu glanced at Xiao Yan with a bit of hatred. After finally finding a good girl, Xiao Yan actually pushed her away.

"In this case, I might as well wait a few more days. After Miss Hao thinks about it clearly, I can sign an alliance between the two countries with you, Brother Long."

With the steps, Leng Aotian followed them down.

Leng Aotian's last words were clear that he must get Hao Yue.

One Hao Yue in exchange for peace between the two countries was a very good deal for Long Yuanguo.

Therefore, Leng Aotian firmly believed that no matter what method he used, Emperor Lan would definitely make the people in Dingguo Palace agree in the end.

All Leng Aotian needs to do now is wait.

After Emperor Lan settled everything, he asked Hao Yue to put on his wedding dress and follow his team back to Linyuan Kingdom.

The banquet broke up unhappily, and Xiao Yan, Liu Shangshu, and many ministers followed Emperor Lan to the Imperial Study Room.

"My dear friends, let's talk about it. How about letting the eldest lady of Dingguo Palace go to get married?"

Before Liu Shangshu could persuade him, Xiao Yan spoke first:

"Returning to the emperor, Wei Chen believes that letting Miss Hao go and get married will not only solve the problem of Linyuan Kingdom not wanting to marry the princess, but also allow Linyuan Kingdom to sign an alliance with us again, which is a beneficial and harmless thing. "

Xiao Yan's words reached Lan Di's heart, and Lan Di nodded with satisfaction.

"But Your Majesty, the prince of Linyuan Kingdom has already married, and our people can only be concubines. This is a huge shame for us!"

Liu Shangshu said helplessly, knowing that he was unable to save the matter.

Lan Di thought about it and realized that Liu Shangshu's words seemed to make sense.

Seeing Emperor Lan's hesitation, Xiao Yan was worried that Emperor Lan would change his mind again, so he immediately made amends.

"Hao Yue is not the princess of our country. She is already lucky enough to marry His Highness the Crown Prince of Linyuan Kingdom. Why are you still trying to become the Crown Princess?"

Other ministers also nodded, agreeing with what Xiao Yan said.

Liu Shangshu wanted to say something else. Emperor Lan raised his hand and said:

"Everyone will go down today. Let Duke Ding come to the palace to find me early tomorrow. I have something to say to him."

Lan Di's meaning was self-evident, and Xiao Yan showed a proud look towards Liu Shangshu.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Yan said to Liu Shangshu:

"I wonder, Lord Shangshu, why do you always go against your own country?"

Liu Shangshu asked puzzledly:

"Why did Duke Xiao say this?"

Xiao Yan wanted to have a good talk with Liu Shangshu for the sake of Liu Shangshu not adding insult to injury.

Xiao Yan wanted to know why Liu Shangshu seemed to be helping him, but also seemed to be against him.

"Liu Shangshu, it is obvious that the people of Linyuan Kingdom did not want to suffer the consequences of marrying their princess, so they came up with this compromise method to let Hao Yue marry her."

"Our emperor obviously agrees with this matter. Why do you want to go against the emperor?"

Hearing what Xiao Yan said, Liu Shangshu shook his head and sighed.

"Let it go. Since Miss Hao is destined to be unable to stay in Long Yuan Kingdom, let her go!"

"Anyway, it all depends on the emperor, so I won't say anything more."

As soon as the palace banquet ended, Lin Shu broke away from Su Yi's hand and came to Hao Yue's side.

"Sister Hao, are you okay?"

Hao Yue was a little confused just now, but after seeing Lin Shu, she seemed to have found her backbone.

"Sister Shu'er, tell me what should I do?"

Hao Yue looked at Lin Shu helplessly, trying to get a rescue solution from Lin Shu.

"I just agreed to be with Zifang, and my brother and sister-in-law also agreed to my marriage to Zifang."

Hao Yue said, his body softened involuntarily.

Lin Shu quickly helped Hao Yue up.

Lin Shu did not expect that in just a few days, Hao Yue and Zifang would make progress.

But Lin Shu didn't have time to care about Hao Yue and Zifang now.

The top priority is to find a way to avoid the marriage.

Lin Shu patted Hao Yue on the back to express comfort.

"Sister Hao, don't panic. Let's go back to our brother first and see if he can think of a solution?"

"Yes, Miss Hao, Shu'er and I will take you back first, and we'll find Duke Dingguo to figure out a solution together."

Lin Shu helped Hao Yue onto the carriage.

This was also the first time that Lin Shu saw such a fragile Hao Yue.

Leng Aotian came out from the side and looked at the horse carriage going away with a sneer.

"Hao Yue, Gu Ke gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

"Since you don't want to be Gu's crown princess, then be Gu's concubine."

"Don't you dislike Li Yuyan? From now on, you have to greet Li Yuyan every day, and she will definitely tease you. This is the price you pay for making me angry."

Leng Aotian is not anxious at all now, he just needs to wait.
