Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 12 You are such a good person
Whether it was forced or coincidence, in this world, Song Yan can be considered to have a family.

After two lifetimes, this was his first marriage, and he had never even seen the bride, so he felt a little heavy on his shoulders.

Although they were sent to the bridal chamber, they would not have the wedding night right away. After all, it was noon now, and in an era dominated by Confucianism, it was not advisable to indulge in sexual intercourse in broad daylight... not openly.

Of course, the wedding night will most likely be spent alone. Even if the mother-in-law Luo Yuheng loves her son-in-law very much, she will not let her sister-in-law consummate the marriage on her behalf.

It was impossible for Gu Banxia, ​​a maidservant, to climb into her brother-in-law's bed on the wedding night.

The next step is the much-anticipated banquet. As the groom, Song Yan has to toast everyone one by one. This is the rule and cannot be broken.

Several maids escorted Luo Tianyi away. At this moment, a sharp, drooping voice came from the gate:
"The imperial edict has arrived~~~~"

The drawn-out voice, with its ups and downs, echoed in the ears of every guest.

Imperial decree?

In the small Ningping County, imperial edicts are a rare thing, especially on the wedding day of the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Many people felt a pang in their hearts. Could it be that Emperor Ning was here to make things worse?

Looking up, I saw three men in robes and fu hats walking in from the gate. All three of them were holding whisks. Two younger ones, wearing light red robes, bowed and followed behind. They were fifth-rank eunuchs.

The leader had white hair and beard, an old face like dry tree bark, and wore a purple robe. He was a third-rank eunuch.

Luo Yuheng's expression was calm. He silently watched the three eunuchs enter the hall, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Wei Zhong, where is my elder brother going to demote me to? I'm just a commoner now. Are you planning to demote me to a lowly status?"

Wei Zhong, what a good name. It would be even better if the word "Xian" was added. He would definitely be a nine thousand year old. Song Yan complained in his heart, finding it interesting.

The guests around him looked strange. If you hadn't held the banquet when Emperor Ning had lost his son and daughter, why would it have come to this? Now, your daughter is getting married, and Emperor Ning is also showing off to you. They really are brother and sister.

Wei Zhong was also familiar with Luo Yuheng's character. Hearing this, he gave a helpless smile, cleared his throat, and unfolded a roll of yellow silk with both hands: "Your Highness, would you please accept the decree first?"

Although Luo Yuheng was dissatisfied with Emperor Ning in many ways, he still gave the emperor some face at this time. He snorted twice and knelt down reluctantly. Immediately, people knelt down around him, and even the guests were no exception.

"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says..."

"I have heard that Luo's daughter, Yuheng, deeply regrets her past actions and often cries bitterly in the middle of the night. I am deeply heartened... I hereby pardon Luo Yuheng's crimes, restore her position as a member of the imperial family, and confer the title of Princess of Ningping County upon her."

The surroundings were as quiet as a chicken. Many guests looked at each other, their mouths twitching constantly!

Is this the rhythm of the brother and sister finally reconciling? The county lady, a fifth-rank noble, has no fiefdom yet, which is incomparable to the previous status of the eldest princess. However, the mere recognition of the royal family is enough to make the Luo family go crazy.

But...can this imperial edict be any more ridiculous?

Feeling quite regretful, and crying bitterly in the middle of the night?
Is this something Luo Yuheng could do? Even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Most likely, the Empress Dowager missed her daughter and could not bear to see her suffer outside, so she went to find Emperor Ning. The Ning Kingdom advocated filial piety, and even Emperor Ning could not refuse the Empress Dowager's request. He could only make up an excuse and issued this imperial decree.

One can imagine the gnashing of Emperor Ning's teeth when he wrote this imperial edict.

Only Luo Yuheng didn't take it seriously. He just said, "Go back and thank him for me," and that was the end of the matter. He didn't really care whether it was polite or not.

All the guests came forward to congratulate them, but the three Song brothers looked at each other with gloomy expressions.

It was thought that Luo Yuheng had no chance of turning things around, so she remarried. Who would have thought that the emperor was so unethical? Now Luo Yuheng is only a county lady, but it is only a matter of time before her status as a princess is restored. The son of a princess who marries outside Ningguo will inherit the title of son-in-law, and the daughter will inherit the title of princess, but it will be downgraded. In this way, Luo Tianxuan, the eldest daughter, will be the future county lady, and Song Yan will become a county horse.

Song Zhen's eyes were red.

his.

It's all his.

Why did that damn Song Yan take all this away?

It was as if countless maggots were gnawing at Song Zhen's heart, causing his chest to ache. He looked at Song Yan as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Song Yan was even calmer. The phrase "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun" seemed to be a sentence structure that started during the reign of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't expect that this world appeared so early.

The three eunuchs were also left behind to eat. Luo Tianyi, accompanied by several maids, went to the back hall. Song Yan did the same. The groom's attire was too elaborate, so he needed to change into something more casual.

Yang Guifang and the other three old maids arranged by Song Hongtao supported Song Yan to the backyard. As soon as they entered the room, the original expressions on the faces of the four old maids disappeared, replaced by gloom and indifference. Even the hands that were supporting Song Yan were immediately loosened.

In their eyes, Song Yan had climbed up the social ladder, but a son-in-law was still a son-in-law after all, and he was not worthy of being in public.

"Song Yan, you're such a coward today. Seeing the Fifth Young Master being scolded by Luo Yuheng, you didn't even bother to speak up for him. What's the point of the Song family raising you?"

"You must remember that the Song family are your relatives. To the Luo family, you are just an outsider. With the Song family as your backing, they dare not bully or humiliate you at will."

Yang Guifang lectured, as if she didn't take her master Song Yan seriously.

She had Song Hongtao's order, so she wouldn't be afraid of Song Yan. Moreover, after watching this loser grow up over the years, her contempt for Song Yan was already deeply ingrained. Even if she slapped his mother's face or broke that woman's teeth, what would it matter? Even if she broke his ears, what would he do except cry on the ground?
Although he seemed to be standing up a few days ago, he soon returned to his old ways, staying in front of the gate of Qingzhu Courtyard and not going out. It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature. Even if he grows up, a coward will always be a coward.

Song Yan did not refute when he heard this, but just narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

outsider?

Relatives?

Ah!
The so-called relatives you mentioned beat me, scolded me, insulted me, bullied me, sold me, and poisoned me!
And the outsider you mentioned protects me, cares for me, respects me, values ​​me, loves me, and feels sorry for me.

So what if it's false?
At least at that time, my heart was warm.

Seeing that Song Yan didn't say a word and looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Yang Guifang made a "Puh" sound and cursed him as a waste in her heart. Then she threw a red robe to him and asked Song Yan to change into it himself.

She was supposed to serve the mistress and the master, so why did she have to serve Song Yan? He was so beautiful.

After Song Yan changed his clothes, he went out with the four old maids. When they arrived in front of the crowd, the four old maids immediately put away the arrogance on their faces and replaced it with the humility of servants.

As soon as they arrived at the front yard, Luo Tianshu and Luo Tianquan came over, one holding a wine glass and the other holding a wine pot. They were to accompany Song Yan to toast the guests. At the same time, they had to introduce the guests' identities to Song Yan to avoid staring at each other. When Song Yan couldn't bear it anymore, they had to block the wine.

Originally, this was Luo Tianyang's job. He loved drinking, but he disappeared without a trace.

When toasting, one should naturally start with the in-laws.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the Song family, he couldn't break the rules. Thinking about the Song family's previous regrets about the engagement, and now that the imperial edict has arrived and their royal status has been restored, the two brothers, though mature at a young age, still have a childlike heart. Seeing the three Song brothers look like their parents have died, he felt secretly happy, and a bit of smugness on his face. Luo Tianquan smiled and approached Song Zhen, reaching out and patting Song Zhen on the shoulder: "Fifth Young Master, you said that this matter caused a stir. Originally, you should have been my brother-in-law. There's nothing we can do about it. My Luo family was originally a commoner, not worthy of the status of a Duke's Mansion. It's not your fault, Fifth Young Master."

Song Zhen's already ugly face immediately turned as if he had eaten two pounds of fly shit.

There was a sense of depression in his chest and the severe pain in his heart almost made him faint.

Luo Tianshu glared at Luo Tianquan and spoke without thinking. His brother-in-law was Song Yan now. What did Song Yan think of these words?
"Ahem, second brother, stop talking nonsense." Luo Tianshu scolded, "My second brother is a bit of a frivolous person. Fifth Young Master, please don't take it to heart. Speaking of which, our Luo family should still thank the Song family."

"At first, your mother said that my brother-in-law was a man of great fortune. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he really is. Since my engagement to him, my royal status has been restored, and my eldest sister's health has gradually improved. The doctor has even found a cure for tuberculosis..."

Song Yan had a strange look on his face, thinking to himself that you are a stabber.

As expected, the three Song family members' expressions changed again, especially Song Zhen, whose lips were trembling. "What did you say? Miss Tianxuan's health is getting better? Have you found a cure for tuberculosis?"

"How could it be true? Although it's a little difficult, as long as I follow the doctor's advice, my sister's lung disease will be cured in a year or so. By then, she and her brother-in-law will be living in harmony. In another year or so, the Luo family will have a third generation. That will be your little nephew, Fifth Young Master. Don't forget to give him your share of the money when the time comes."

Can Luo Tianxuan's tuberculosis be cured?

A bridal chamber for a woman as beautiful as Luo Yuheng?

A maid like Gu Banxia.

Share money?
Song Zhen's face suddenly turned pale, and then a strange red flush rose to his forehead.

With a "wow" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
