Lan Xiang couldn’t sleep at night, leaning against the wall alone, drinking and crying.Han Liang was also sitting on the other side of the wall. He didn't expect that he was still a step late, and he didn't expect that Jin Qi would use the imperial edict to ask for marriage.Han Liang knew that Lan Xiang was not in love with him yet, but that the two had similar interests and were in compliance with their parents' wishes. They originally hoped to slowly fall in love after marriage.What Lan Xiang was thinking about was that the Lin family broke off their engagement many years ago, and now that person came to forcefully marry her again, and the old wounds in her heart were reopened.

The Lin family elders were equally furious.The third young lady is already the governor's wife, with a first-grade imperial title, but Jin Qi wants to marry a woman who was once a slave. The old man is afraid that his descendants will follow his example and tamper with the family law.Jin Qi was punished without saying a word. His younger brothers were distressed but did not dare to stop him. The second master even wanted to interrupt by pretending to be stunned.The third lady rushed back in time. The old man knew that it was the reinforcements invited by Jin Qi. He stopped after seeing that he had been beaten to bleeding.

Jin Qi was in bed recovering from his injuries, with his brothers surrounding him.The third young lady came to see him and said that she had discussed it with her mother. Since the emperor granted the marriage, anyone who discussed it in the future would be disobeying the holy will.Jin Qi was very pleased to see that his sister no longer flinched.After everyone dispersed, he asked Yu Chan what she thought.Yu Chan said that she was shocked when she first heard it, but she knew Lan Xiang and owed her life-saving grace, and was willing to serve the new mistress sincerely.

The Zheng family was convicted, and Yuan Shaohui was ordered to announce that the men would be put to death and the women would be sent to the Jiaofang Division.Zheng's mother also wanted to use Manyi's appearance to let her cling to power and give mother and daughter a chance to turn around.Manyi couldn't believe that her mother had such a plan. During the escort, she grabbed the guard's knife and committed suicide.Yuan Shaohui took a special look at her move, arranged for people to escort the other female family members, and asked the Jiaofang Secretary to take care of her.

Furongxiu was happy for Zheng Baichuan to commit suicide.Back then, her father was guarding Jinling with Zheng Baichuan and refused to surrender to the city, so he was killed by him.Zheng Baichuan surrendered the entire city to the late emperor, while the female member of the Furong Xiu family was sent to the Jiaofang Division. She survived with the care of her sister.On the Xu family's side, Guihua was busy preparing clothes for Lanxiang. Lanxiang advised her not to force herself to hold up the scene. The Lin Mansion already knew about her family's situation.Mr. Lu believed in her intelligence and reminded her that since she could no longer change her marriage, she could still use this imperial edict to protect herself.
