302. Marriage
The father-in-law was stunned by An Xiaoqing's words, and was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said, "Miss is a good word. Before today, the girl was indeed the daughter-in-law of the Ning Prince's Mansion. However, after our family announced the imperial edict, the girl would know that our family's words were not false."
After saying that, he raised the imperial edict and said loudly: "Pei Qing, Minister of Rites, and Pei Xiaoqing, daughter of Pei Qing, received the edict--"
The eldest master, Huang-level Pei Jinxiu and others all knelt down to listen to Xuan. An Xiaoqing stood upright in the hall and looked at the prince quietly, with her body straight.
Eunuch Wang frowned and said, "Pei Xiaoqing received the order..."
The master was so scared that he was all over. He knelt down and came over to pull An Xiaoqing, and said in a crying voice:
"Xiao Si, are you really cruel to let hundreds of people in this mansion die with you? Do you know what the crime is to resist the order? I may not be able to kill the Nine Clans, you... Dad, please."
An Xiaoqing lowered her eyes lightly and said, "Dad, who is Pei Xiaoqing?"
The master was stunned when he heard this and said in surprise: "Xiao Si, are you... Are you... having a fever in your brain? Isn't Pei Xiaoqing you?"
"I clearly called An Xiaoqing, not Pei Xiaoqing. My father has been disgusted with me since he was born and did not allow me to be named Pei. I have used the name An Xiaoqing for sixteen years, so why did I suddenly call Pei Xiaoqing again?"
"Xiao Si... useless, these are useless. Don't waste your time, accept the order..." Master Pei's eyes were wet. The more calm An Xiaoqing showed, the more it showed how painful and resistant she felt in her heart. Although... she could marry into the Great Chu State to be the crown princess,
For the Pei family, it is a great honor and a blessing that ordinary fourth-rank officials cannot ask for. However, the master knew that Xiao Si's child was so stubborn and cruel that she was, and that if she was reluctant, she might fight for her life.
What's more, will the Ning Prince's Mansion give up? This can be said to be a great humiliation to the entire Ning Prince's Mansion.
With Chu Yunxi's cold and strange temperament and his infatuation with Xiao Si, the master dared not imagine that Xiao Si married to Da Chu and she was in the State of Da Chu, no matter how glorious she was in Da Chu, her family still had to live in Da Zhou. Will Ning Wang easily let the Pei family be hired by one woman and the second one?
However, the emperor deliberately transferred Prince Ning and the Second Young Master together, just to take the opportunity to make the matter a tough case, so that Prince Ning and the Second Young Master would be unable to make the situation come back.
I am a small fourth-rank official, even if I don’t have the black hat on my head, can I withstand it? He doesn’t dare to borrow the master’s thousand courage.
"Xiaoqing, you just hate your father in your heart and don't care about this family, but don't care about your mother? Do you care about your elder sister? She is... but she has just been selected into the Eastern Palace. Are you willing to let your parents be beheaded. Is your elder sister entering the sect?" The master begged An Xiaoqing.
"What did Dad say? Why can't I understand? I really don't call Pei Xiaoqing. Eunuch Wang, please go back and implement it. Maybe, I'm wrong. The Pei family really doesn't call Pei Xiaoqing. Don't ask for the order. If you want to take it back, it won't look good."
I have to say that the master's words touched An Xiaoqing's pain. Although the Pei family was not good to An Xiaoqing, in addition to these masters, there were dozens of servants in the mansion, they were all innocent, and the Pei family relatives were even more innocent. Do they really want to fight against the imperial power for the benefit of oneself?
