It was only then that the Qin family noticed that no matter what happened to Jiang Wan, she was usually like this.

Her expression and facial features were just like Zhao Su Niang's, making people hate her but unable to find fault with her.

Mother Du quickly went to lie down in the outer courtyard, then came back and whispered into née Qin's ear: ”The eunuch who came to announce the decree has arrived. The supervisor is currently letting them rest in the outer courtyard's study. We just need to wait for old master to come back and announce it.”

”Did you find out what happened?” As the day passed, the Qin family also became flustered. They were afraid that something would happen to her sister in the palace.

Mother Du shook her head, ”I don't know, but from what the manager said, those eunuchs' faces were all glowing red. It shouldn't be a bad thing.”

Nodding her head, née Qin instructed her mother to quickly wrap up a few red packets while she urged her wife to set the incense table.

However, the Zhao Susu who led Brother Sheng out looked at Jiang Wan puckering her lips into a smile. Jiang Wan looked at her in confusion, but she actually went close to Jiang Wan's ear and whispered, ”This should be your good news, right?”

Jiang Wan looked at her reproachfully, but suddenly remembered that when Xiao Rui left, he seemed to have told her that an imperial edict would arrive today, so she had made preparations in advance to prevent chaos when the time came.

However, at that time, she was still in a dazed state of sleep and had long since turned a deaf ear.

Could it be that this was really the imperial edict?

Jiang Wan began to look forward to it.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Chuanzhong returned from the Ministry of Justice with a head full of sweat.

Seeing that everyone was present, the attendant walked over to the incense table in the inner courtyard, slowly opening the multicolored cloud crane design in his hand and said: ”With the blessing of the heavens, I am pleased to hear that the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Punishment Department Jiang Chunzhong, Jiang Wan, is skillful and generous, warm and kind, and has an outstanding appearance. Today, the prince's son, Xiao Rui, has been weak for many years. When it's time to marry, he should choose his daughter and her match. It could be said that Jiang Wan and the Prince's son had been created from the heavens to be the most beautiful woman. Jiang Wan and Xiao Rui had been betrothed to each other as their first wives. All etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Vanguard of Heavens to handle together. The announcement was made both at home and abroad. This is it! ”

Jiang Chuanzhong, who was kneeling on the limestone tiles, was completely stupefied. His face had turned deathly pale.

Jiang Wan was actually given a wedding to the Prince's son, Xiao Rui?

That legendary disease that allowed one to rely on the death of one's wife to extend one's lifespan?

”Vice Minister, accept the decree.” After the attendant finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at Jiang Chuanzhong with a fake smile.

Jiang Chuanzhong knelt there sweating profusely. He felt as if the attendant was holding a hot potato in his hand.

If he took over this edict, it would be equivalent to personally pushing his daughter, Jiang Wan, onto the brick bed.

But he had to.

He first kowtowed, then stretched out his hands and accepted the decree with a face as pale as death.

née Qin quickly handed over the red seal that had been prepared by her mother. After a slight deliberation, the attendant said, ”Congratulations sire,” and left haughtily.

”Miss …” Clove, who had been lying on the back of her head all this while, quickly stood up and ran to Jiang Wan's side to help her up, only to discover that Jiang Wan was now covered in tears.

Jiang Wan Ning choked as she looked at the lilac, but her excited mood could not be expressed with words.

This time, she really wanted to marry Xiao Rui.

He had thought that he would have no relation with his previous life, nor would he have any destiny in this life.

Just when she was still trying to persuade herself not to think anymore, happiness came so suddenly.
