Xiao Lingyue didn't say much. She finally returned the jade bracelet to its original owner. She just felt relieved. This could be regarded as solving the last hidden danger for the real Shen Wan.
From now on, Shen Wan can marry whomever she wants without the constraints of a marriage contract or family.
She is completely free!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyue felt that her mood was a little better.
She turned to Zhan Beihan and asked: "My matter is settled, do you have anything else to do with Chu Yuanqi?"
Zhan Beihan looked at Chu Yuanqi, who had a complicated expression on his face and showed no sign of happiness, and snorted in his heart: "Where are the marriage certificates between the two families?"
Xiao Lingyue was stunned: "What kind of marriage?"
"It is a custom in the Northern Qin Dynasty that when two families get engaged, the man gives the woman a token, and the woman writes a marriage letter in her own handwriting and gives it to the man to keep as a proof of future engagement.
If the marriage ends in the future, the woman needs to return the token, and the man should return the marriage certificate and tear it up in person."
Zhan Beihan looked at Chu Yuanqi calmly, "The token has been returned, where is the marriage certificate?"
Xiao Lingyue was not from Northern Qin in her last life and didn't know much about Northern Qin's wedding customs. This was the first time she heard of such a thing.
But she didn't care: "This kind of marriage document is just one page, no big deal, right? Chu Yuanqi can just go back and tear it up himself later."
"I didn't ask you this!" Zhan Beihan gave her a cold look.
Xiao Lingyue: "..." Is there something wrong with him?
Chu Yuanqi clutched the jade bracelet box and said solemnly: "The marriage certificate from back then should be kept in my mother's hands. I will ask my mother for it when I return home."
He looked at Xiao Lingyue and asked softly: "Shen Wan, where do you live now? After I get the marriage certificate, I will send someone to deliver it to you."
Xiao Lingyue wondered what she wanted this thing for, should she keep it as a souvenir?
Forget it!
Xiao Lingyue shook her head: "No need to give it to me, just tear it up..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhan Beihan said in a deep voice: "She lives here! You don't need to send it away. I will send someone back with you to get it."
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Chu Yuanqi was surprised: "You live in Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Xiao Lingyue could only nod her head: "You know that I have severed ties with the Shen family, right? The County Lord's Mansion given to me by His Majesty is under renovation and cannot be occupied for the time being, so I temporarily stayed in Prince Yi's Mansion."
"...Why do you want to stay in Prince Yi's Mansion? Can't you live somewhere else?" Chu Yuanqi couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Lingyue laughed: "Because my county chief's palace is right next to Prince Yi's palace, which is more convenient. Besides, Beibei is not in good health and the inn is too noisy for him to live in."
Chu Yuanqi didn't know what to say for a moment.
It seems like nothing is appropriate to say.
In the end, he just asked: "Did the young prince of Prince Yi's palace invite you?"
Xiao Lingyue nodded. Hanhan did try his best to invite her to stay in Prince Yi's Mansion. That was correct.
"How long do you want to chat?" Zhan Beihan listened impatiently. He looked at Chu Yuanqi and issued an eviction order unceremoniously: "You can leave if you have nothing to do. I will send someone to take you back."
It was a lie to send him back, but it was true to send someone to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to retrieve the marriage certificate from that year.
Chu Yuanqi didn't even have room to refuse.
Uncle Zhou walked in after hearing the news. After learning the situation, he quickly arranged the manpower and carriage, and looked at Chu Yuanqi with a smile: "Young master, please come!"
"Shen Wan, then...I'm going back." Chu Yuanqi said helplessly to Xiao Lingyue.
Xiao Lingyue: "I'll give it to you."
Chu Yuanqi said in surprise: "Is it okay?"
Uncle Zhou clearly felt the temperature of the prince's body drop, and hurriedly interjected: "Miss Shen has just come back. She has been busy all morning and is probably tired. Why don't I send the young marquis out and you can rest first?" This chapter has been completed!
