now?

Xiao Jingzheng looked at her burning gaze and didn't want to make her unhappy, so he started writing the imperial edict.

After a while, Zhu Yue happily went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the imperial edict and more than ten carts of treasures.

Although everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion had made preparations long ago, when the imperial edict really arrived, the whole family did not feel any joy. They all looked at Xie Ru with sympathy and heartache.

Xie Ru looked normal. She accepted the imperial edict in a proper manner and smiled at Zhu Yue: "Thank you for taking the trouble to deliver it here, young lady. It's really hard work."

"It's not hard. This is a good thing. Congratulations, Miss Xie." Zhu Yue smiled at her obediently.

Zhu Yue really likes this daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

But Zhu Yue soon discovered that no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion was happy about this matter, and for a moment, she was a little confused.

Everyone was forcing themselves to smile, but Xie Rong really couldn't. She grabbed Zhu Yue's arm and pulled her to her yard.

"Miss Rong, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yue felt very confused when she saw Xie Rong like this.

Xie Rong knelt on the ground with red eyes, begging desperately: "Miss Zhu, I know everyone likes you, the emperor dotes on you and almost obeys you. Please, can you help my sister?"

What is this nonsense?

Zhu Yue looked at Xie Rong like this, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Miss Rong, I really don't understand what you mean by saying this?"

"You are so smart, how could you not understand what I mean? I just don't want my sister to marry the emperor. The royal family is rich, which is good, but my sister is better. The emperor has a cruel and unpredictable temperament, and I don't want my sister to suffer." Xie Rong simply gave up. It can be seen that she was fighting for her sister.

Zhu Yue really didn't expect that in the eyes of the Xie family, Xiao Jingzheng would be like this?

She was speechless for a moment, because Zhu Yue knew very well that the other party had said nothing wrong. Or rather, it was not easy for such a family to say such words, which was enough to prove that Prime Minister Xie's family were all very upright people!

They were unwilling to exchange their daughter's life for wealth.

"Shut up, Xie Rong, you are really too presumptuous!"

Xie Ru opened the door and came in, standing in front of Xie Rong, looking at Zhu Yue with some apology.

"Miss Zhu, my little sister is really too abrupt. What she said were just childish words. She just couldn't bear to see me get married. She didn't mean to offend the emperor at all."

Zhu Yue certainly understood what Xie Ru meant by what she was saying now.

She sighed helplessly and then whispered, "Your sister dared to say these words in front of me, which is enough to prove that your whole family are decent people. Your sister treats you as her precious baby and doesn't want you to suffer."

"No, I never felt that marrying the emperor was suffering. I am honored." Xie Ru immediately grabbed Zhu Yue's hand and said, "My little sister is talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

Zhu Yue knew that Xie Ru said this for the safety of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

She nodded, said nothing, and turned to walk outside.

As soon as the person left, Xie Ru's face changed: "Rong'er, you are really too ridiculous. Do you know that if the emperor knew this, you would not be able to survive!"

"If my life can be exchanged for my sister's happiness, I am willing to do it!" Xie Rong didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Xie Ru felt distressed when she saw her sister like this. Finally, she said helplessly, "I know you are doing this for my sister's good, but have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if we really disobeyed the order? If I really leave willfully, what will happen to my parents? What will happen to the dozens of people in this family?"

"I will get married eventually, and I don't have a so-called sweetheart. If I can marry the emperor to keep my family safe, I will be willing to do so." Xie Ru smiled slightly and hugged her sister.

After hearing these words, Xie Rong burst into tears, but she did not continue to argue with her sister, because she knew very well that what her sister said was true and right!

With red eyes, she choked up and said, "Sister, I've really made it hard for you!"

"Sister, don't worry, don't worry. Even if we can't be on equal terms with the emperor, we will still respect each other. As long as the Prime Minister's Mansion is still there, the emperor won't make things too difficult for you. I'll be fine." Xie Ru smiled gently.

She is a gentle person, yet firm, so she is destined to be in this position.

When Zhu Yue came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw the person she least wanted to see.

This time she came out, she was thinking about leaving and coming back quickly, but she never expected that this person would choose to take advantage of every opportunity. He was simply haunting her and extremely annoying!

Although the incident happened a few days ago, Zhu Yue still gets angry when she sees this person!

He turned around and walked to the other side, obviously trying to pretend that he didn't see the person at all.

Qin Yan naturally would not give up. He strode forward to block Zhu Yue's way, frowned and looked at her, with a bit of grievance: "Just because I said something wrong, you will never talk to me again?"

"You didn't say anything wrong, you didn't do anything wrong, it's my fault, it's my fault." Zhu Yue snorted, and said sarcastically: "I was too immersed in the role, I gave my heart, I deserve it, okay!"

Qin Yan knew that Zhu Yue must be angry, but he really didn't expect Zhu Yue to be so angry?

Listening to Zhu Yue's words, Qin Yan felt like his heart was broken, and he even felt that what Lu He said might actually make sense!

His expression changed immediately and he grabbed Zhu Yue's hand: "No, it's not your fault. It's my fault. I said the wrong thing, but I really didn't mean that. You really misunderstood me."

"I didn't misunderstand. How could I have forgotten this? You are a powerful young minister, and I am just a wild girl with no status. I am indeed not worthy of you."

"All our previous transactions are void. When we meet next time, just pretend you don't know me."

Zhu Yue pulled her hand back, still being arrogant to the end.

Qin Yan had no experience in coaxing women, especially such an unreasonable woman.

Looking at Zhu Yue like this, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing him standing there gasping for breath, Zhu Yue became annoyed again and pushed him away and was about to leave.

But Qin Yan hugged Zhu Yue tightly: "You can't leave, you can't just convict me like this, you must give me a chance to explain, there is a misunderstanding between us!"
