Chapter 31
The news that Yu Xia had received the imperial edict was like having wings, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the country.

Many people think that Yu Xia lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds. For the sake of a marriage contract, she handed over a huge dowry to the state treasury. Isn't this mentally ill?
Especially since the palace then sent people to Yong'an Bo's Mansion and heard that Yu Xia's yard had been evacuated, leaving only bare furniture and tents and nothing else, it aroused everyone's discussion.

Before the imperial decree was issued, due to Fei Yuanran's intentional or unintentional hints, Yu Xia's reputation was not good. Although it was fine for married couples to give gifts to each other, it would be a bit rushed to give such personal things before they were married.Now that the imperial decree came out, Emperor Chongming Jinkou broke the engagement between the two of them, and those who cared could not help but think, if Yu Xia was really so infatuated, why would he prefer not to have a dowry but to divorce?
Of course, no matter what others thought, Yu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

After breaking off the engagement, she could justifiably find Gu Qingshi!
Holding the imperial decree, Yu Xia returned to Uncle Yong'an's mansion happily, and Nanny Wang was already guarding the door, "Miss Xia, Madam wants to see you."

"What do you call me?" Hearing this almost humiliating address, Yu Xia laughed lightly, "I am the Lord of the Fourth Rank, Your Majesty, and Mother Wang, you should salute when you see me. They say that the wife is the most important thing." Rules, you are the closest person to her, you never thought you would make such a mistake."

"Old slave—greetings to Mr. Xiang!" Nanny Wang trembled and bowed down to Yu Xia.

Yu Xia turned her body and received a half-respect from her, "Nurse, you are being polite, get up and lead the way."

"Yes."

After being beaten by Yu Xia, Nanny Wang was very respectful all the way, she no longer raised her head and looked dismissively, but bowed her body and carefully followed behind Yu Xia.

Yu Xia glanced at her from the corner of her eye, looked at her and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Mr. Xiang, what are you laughing at?" Yun Yun asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought that I used to be the one who chased after Wang Momo, but I didn't expect to change here today. It's amazing!"

Wang Momo's face turned pale when she heard this, but Yu Xia changed suddenly, Sipin Township Lord was no longer something she could dictate.

Entering Yilan Courtyard, it was far more lively than Yu Xia imagined.

Mrs. Meng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, came over at some time. Seeing her enter the door, she put the cup heavily on the table, "What a Mr. Anning!"

"Greetings, madam, madam," Yu Xia said with a smile. Meng deliberately didn't call out. She originally wanted to save her face, but Yu Xia stood up and found a place to sit down. .

"Ms. Yu Qin, is this the tutor of your uncle Yong'an's house? Today really opened my eyes!" Mrs. Meng slapped the table hard.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites is the third rank, and his seniority is far inferior to Yong'an Bo, who holds the military power and is in the heart of the emperor, but who makes Yu Qin want to ask the Meng family?Yu Wan'er wanted to marry Fei Yuanran wholeheartedly. For her daughter's wish, Yu Qinshi had always been the one who bowed her head before Mengshi, and now is no exception.

"Sister, calm down, it's because I didn't teach her well. Yu Xia, why don't you make amends with Madam!"

"Ma'am," Yu Xia tapped on the table lightly, "Looking at you, I don't know, I thought you were Mrs. Meng's subordinate, and you obeyed her orders."

"You!" Yu Qinshi's expression changed when the central matter was mentioned.

"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Meng was so angry that she clutched her chest, "Is this how you treat your elders?"

"Elder?" Yu Xia turned coldly, "Your Majesty's imperial decree, my marriage with your mansion has been terminated. My wife and I are not relatives, but where did the elders come from? What have the young masters of your mansion done? Mrs. Meng must be more important than me." Clearly, but you came to our Yong'anbo mansion to make a noise, I really thought that everyone else was a soft persimmon! Back then, my mother risked her life to save you, and even helped your mansion when it was poor. This is how you repay my mother for saving her life. Huh? What a lady of the Ministry of Rites, it's ridiculous!"

"Xiangjun is so majestic!" Meng Shi gave Yu Xia a sad look, and then said to Yu Qinshi with a smile that was not a smile, "I was thinking about it. Yes, goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Meng walked away!

"Sister Meng, Sister Meng! This is all a misunderstanding, please listen to my explanation! Sister Meng!"

Yu Qin chased out without any gestures, but was stopped by the women around Meng. She could only watch as Meng got into the carriage and left without looking back.

"Come here!" Yu Qinshi suffocated and pointed at Yu Xia, "Miss Xia contradicts her elders and is not filial to her aunt, please ask me for family law!"

"I'll see who dares!" Yu Xia yelled, "I am His Majesty's personal title of Township Monarch, an official of the same fourth rank, and I slap the imperial court official, don't you all want to live!"

As soon as these words came out, the servants in the mansion hesitated and dared not go forward.

"What are you doing raising you! Everyone is trash!" Yu Qinshi snatched a thick bundle of brambles from a servant, and raised her hand to hit Yu Xia.

"My wife is Mrs. Yong'anbo. I should have taken it for teaching me. It's just that you beat me today. Whether there will be rumors that Yong'anbo's second daughter has been in love with Mr. Wen Yan for a long time, I can't be sure."

"Do you threaten me?"

"How dare you? It's just a casual comment."

"You are really kind." Dare not to gamble with Yu Wan'er's reputation, Yu Qinshi resentfully put down the thorn and walked away.

"Let's go." Yu Xia looked at Yu Qin's back. She knew that Yu Qin was only temporarily frightened by her, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and he didn't know when he would jump out and bite her.

On the third day after the imperial decree was issued, Yu Xia made an unexpected move.

She used her private money to hire a team of 50 people, and asked them to perform the lion dance in front of the Minister of Rites' mansion. After attracting enough people to watch the excitement, she changed the lion dance to a storyteller. Fifty people, all with loud voices, Together, they explained how Yu Xia's biological mother helped the Fei family back then, and how the Fei family was ungrateful, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Once the Fei family came to chase people away, they would flee in all directions, wait until everyone in the Shilang's Mansion had withdrawn, and then come out to continue the lion dance.

After repeating this several times, the Fei family had no choice but to send a big butler to negotiate.

Yu Xia's request is also very simple - pay back the money!
The money her mother paid back then was not a small amount, and she also had to compensate Yu Xia for the injustice she had suffered over the years because of the criticism over the marriage contract.

The Fei family knew they were in the wrong, so they finally took out the money, but they also publicized the matter fiercely, describing Yu Xia's trickery and meanness as unique in the world, and kept exaggerating that Fei Yuanran is now How difficult the situation is.

Originally, there were people in the capital who talked to Yu Xia, thinking that she would rather not have a dowry than cancel the marriage contract, but she was a temperamental person. It was bad luck to be married to her.

Of course, Yu Xia didn't take these gossips to heart.

She was eager to make this matter a big deal. In this era, men and women are not allowed to meet casually, and getting along in private is even more deviant, which greatly increased the difficulty for her to find Gu Qing.In order to find someone, she can only come up with this strategy. Firstly, it is to vent her anger on the original body. Secondly, now her name of Yu Xia can be said to be known to everyone in the capital, and she does not know if it can be spread. In Gu Qingshi's ears.

Yu Xia waited for half a month in Yong'an Bo's mansion, but there was no news from the concierge. Could it be that Gu Qingshi is not in the capital?
She thought to herself, on the surface she seemed to be fine, but Yunyun, the maid beside her, was like an ant on a frying pan, running around in a hurry.

"Girl, you'd better not go to Princess Luoyang's banquet tomorrow. I heard that Princess Luoyang has been in love with Fei Yuanran for a long time. Last time you caused a big scandal for the Fei family. Princess Luoyang made a promise to show you that day. Look. I’m not going to enjoy the flowers tomorrow, it’s just the Hongmen Banquet.”

"So, who do you think this Princess of Luoyang is?"

"This princess of Luoyang is the only daughter of the emperor's younger brother, King Taiping, and the eldest daughter of King Taiping. King Taiping has three sons, but there is only one daughter. The princess of Luoyang has always wanted wind and rain. , if you confront her, I'm afraid you won't be able to please her."

"So, the status of Luoyang princess is very honorable?"

"That's natural. Princess Luoyang is the first granddaughter in the royal family. Her status is comparable to that of a prince, and she is the most loved by the Queen Mother."

"Since this is the case, there must be many people attending the banquet hosted by Princess Luoyang."

"It is said that the Princess of Luoyang holds a flower-viewing banquet every summer. At this time, the big and small families in the capital have to squeeze their heads for the quota of the banquet before they can enter. At that time, not only the sons and daughters of each family, but also Not to mention how lively it is when people from the royal family show up!"

"So, that's great!" Yu Xia clapped her hands happily, "Go, the person who returned to the Taiping Palace for your girl, just say thank you to the Princess for inviting me, and I will definitely be there on time for tomorrow's flower banquet!"

"Girl! Why don't you refuse?"

"Silly Yunyun, if I refuse, it means that I'm afraid. Besides, if Princess Luoyang really wants to plot against me, she can always find an opportunity. Why don't you go and see what she's going to do. Alright, hurry up go."

"Yes."

When it was time for the banquet, Yu Xia followed Yu Qinshi to the Taiping Prince's Mansion - Yu Qinshi was also Mrs. Yong'anbo after all, so she was naturally invited.

After getting out of the carriage, Yu Qinshi slightly curled her lips, tilted her head and said, "Everyone who comes here today is either rich or noble, the Lord of the Township should be more careful in words and deeds, don't lose face to our Yong'an House. "

"Don't worry, madam, I'll save it."

"Just remember." Yu Qinshi turned around and walked forward slowly. Yu Wan'er next to her was holding her arm, and turned her head to show Yu Xia a smug smile, "Your good days are coming to an end. gone."

A group of people came to the banquet living room. Most of the people were already seated in the hall. Hearing the maid's announcement, they all looked over. Yu Xia could even hear bursts of laughter in his ears.

"Is she that Yu Xia?"

"She doesn't look very good either."

"To actually humiliate Mr. Fei like this, you really don't know what to do!"

"Just like her mother who was born in a merchant, she looks like a vicious girl at first glance!"

When her mother was scolded, Yu Xia suddenly raised her head and looked deeply at a few people, as if she wanted to write down their appearance. Those people were annoyed by her, and they all picked up handkerchiefs to cover their faces. Withdrawing his gaze, he sat down with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
