Butler Liu hurried in.

When he was about to open his mouth, he saw everything in the courtyard was staggering. The second lady's face was so swollen that she was almost unrecognizable.

It was obvious that a "war" had just occurred here, and the outcome was already decided.

He suddenly remembered the kick he received, and shuddered involuntarily, swallowing the words that came to his lips with saliva.

Not daring to be as disrespectful as before, he bowed politely: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, there is an imperial edict coming from the palace. You two young ladies should quickly follow the old slave to receive the edict."

Imperial decree?

Bai Yueyao remembered that Brother Yan sent someone over this morning to deliver a message. Brother Yan said that he would ask the Holy One to cancel the engagement, and asked her to wait for the good news. By the way, she asked her father to go to the Holy One to intercede for him and lift his ban.

She covered her face and laughed. Even though she was grinning in pain, she still had to say what she said: "It must be...hiss, it must be that the Holy One is backing off...the marriage between you, a poisonous woman, and Brother Yan."

Bai Yunhua ignored her, stood up holding Xi Yue's hand, and walked to the front yard. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Gong Liyan had already been punished, what would happen if the imperial edict came at this time?

When they arrived at the front yard, there was already a crowd of people kneeling in darkness. Almost all the masters of the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion were there, waiting for the two of them.

The two hurried over and knelt down next to their respective mothers.

Seeing Bai Yueyao's face that was swollen like a pig's head, Lin Xiuyun was so distressed that she almost cried. However, she realized that the situation was not right, so she could only bite her lips and endure, and asked her in a voice that only two people could hear: "Yaoer , what’s wrong with you, who beat you?”

Bai Yueyao is currently concerned about the imperial edict, and the complaint can be postponed. She shook her head and smiled uglier than crying: "Mother, we will talk about it later."

"Hiss", she scratched the wound on her face, gasping in pain, and was so angry that she wanted to curse, but found that the situation was wrong, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Li Qingluo also saw Bai Yueyao's face, and saw that she came with her daughter. She seemed to have thought of something, picked up her daughter's hand and looked at it, and found that the red on her palm had not faded yet.

She asked in a low voice: "Did you hit her?"

Bai Yuhua nodded.

In the past, A Niang always advised her not to confront Bai Yueyao head-on, and to hide if she could, lest Bai Yanshu would be partial and punish her.

She couldn't guess how A Niang would react when she found out that she was the one who beat Bai Yueyao.

Unexpectedly, Aniang actually covered her mouth and laughed. She also felt that the situation was not right, so she had to bite her lip and endure it, and managed to squeeze out three words: "Well done."

Bai Yuanhua was stunned for a moment, and then started to laugh. She realized that the situation was not right, so she bit her lip and endured it.

Then, behind Bai Yanshu, there appeared a scene of four women biting their lips and listening to the father-in-law read out the imperial edict.

The person who came to announce the decree was not Eunuch Li from the emperor's side, but Eunuch Ou from the Queen Mother's side. This arrangement puzzled all the masters of the Jingguo Hou Mansion.

Eunuch Ou's voice was shrill, but Bai Yunhua only paid attention to the content of the imperial edict.

Bai Yueyao actually got what she said, and the emperor wrote a personal letter to cancel her engagement with Gong Liyan.

Bai Yuanhua clenched her fists and dug her nails into the flesh of her palms. The pain stimulated her to stay awake, so she did not doubt that she had heard wrongly.

How could you break off the engagement so easily?

The engagement that ruined her family in her previous life was actually broken off like this!

I thought I would have to struggle with Gong Liyan for a long time, I thought I would have to put in a lot of effort, I thought...

She was already prepared. As long as she could make Gong Liyan fall into hell, she would pay any price, even if they died together.

Unexpectedly, she didn't have to do anything, just complain to the Queen Mother, and the engagement would be cancelled.

Bai Yuanhua didn't know what she was feeling. She just felt like her heart was blocked by a ball of cotton. She wanted to cry but couldn't, and wanted to laugh but couldn't.

She felt that she should be happy, but she couldn't be happy no matter what.

Seeing Bai Yunhua's complicated expression, Bai Yueyao thought that she must have difficulty accepting the news and was feeling sad.

As long as Bai Yuanhua is sad, she will be happy, and most of her anger from being beaten will disappear.

Moving to Bai Yuanhua's side, she covered her pig-headed face and laughed in a low voice: "Oh, it doesn't matter if you have a good mother-in-law, and it doesn't matter if you can be reincarnated. You are a mortal chicken, but you want to fall into the phoenix tree. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit is aware of everything."

Seeing that Bai Yuanhua ignored her, Bai Yueyao thought that she had hit on Bai Yuanhua's pain point, and couldn't help feeling a little happier.

She continued to taunt: "Does anyone dare to marry someone whose engagement has been annulled by the royal family? From now on, you, Bai Yunhua, will only have two options to choose from. One, marry an illiterate mud-leg and spend your whole life soaked in mud. Here, Erma, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng died alone."

She seemed to have foreseen Bai Yuanhua's miserable second half of her life. She covered her mouth and laughed softly, but it hurt her face. She grinned in pain and gasped while laughing, not forgetting to threaten her.

"Just wait. As soon as my father-in-law leaves, I will tell daddy that you beat me and see how daddy handles you."

Bai Yuanhua then raised his head and glanced at her.

That look of fool again.

What's so noble about a bitch who can only live her whole life alone?

The previous anger, coupled with the current situation, finally reached the critical point. Bai Yueyao couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "You..."

Just as he was about to have an attack, the maid next to him pulled her sleeves and held him back.

What did she do? Bai Yueyao turned around and glared at the maid.

But the maid motioned her to look at Bai Yanshu, who was kneeling in front of him.

Bai Yanshu finally recovered from the shock of losing hope. When he heard Bai Yueyao's angry shouting, he turned back and glared at her.

Just this glance made Bai Yueyao regain her senses that she had not completely lost. She clutched her chest and sighed in her heart. She was so close to being exposed. She had always been obedient, delicate and soft in front of her father, and would not speak harshly.

She was used to watching people's words, and one look at Bai Yanshu's expression told her that he must be filled with anger at this moment.

Based on past experience, she knew that as long as she added a little more oil at this time, Bai Yuanhua would be in trouble.

Not only is she good at looking at people's faces, but she is also used to killing people with a borrowed knife.

Without even a moment's hesitation, her momentum took a turn for the worse, from angry to aggrieved. When she lowered her head and then raised her head, her eyes were already filled with mist.

Looking at Bai Yanshu and then at Bai Yuhua, she lowered her voice and said with sobs: "Sister, you went into the palace with your mother early yesterday morning, but you said something that angered the Holy One. Otherwise, how could the Holy One withdraw from your relationship with you?" The engagement of His Highness Prince Ming? You still said that you were just paying your respects to the Queen Mother, but how can you cancel the engagement by saying this?"

"It's a small matter that your engagement was annulled, but what will Daddy do? Daddy has put so much effort into your marriage, and now it's all in vain. Are you worthy of Daddy raising you for so many years?"
