It was the first time in Luo Zibo's life to hear such shocking words.

His cousin was so rebellious that she took the important matter of marriage as a trivial matter.

This made him unable to understand.

His grandfather and he were willing to take risks because they wanted his cousin to live happily as he pleased, rather than letting his cousin take marriage for granted.

"Li Xia, my grandfather will definitely not agree if he knows that you have found someone to marry someone under false pretenses. Moreover, your behavior is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"..." Lin Lixia pursed her lips. She had done many things to deceive the emperor, including this one.

However, looking at her eldest cousin's solemn expression, she would probably have a hard time with the Luo family if she didn't find a suitable person.

"Brother Zibo, when will you return to Beijing?"

"I asked the emperor for three days' leave!" Luo Zibo seemed to understand Lin Lixia's thoughts.

"Li Xia, I will keep an eye on you for these three days. Don't think about finding someone to get married."

Lin Lixia: "..."

"Li Xia, there is no royal land in the world. Find someone to marry that the emperor can convince, so that my grandfather can deal with you in front of the emperor."

Hearing the Luo family's concern for her, Lin Lixia felt a warm current in her heart.

"Brother Zibo, let me think about it first! I'll have someone arrange accommodation for you first."

"I don't live here." Luo Zibo refused directly, leaving an address for Lin Lixia and saying, "I'm going to visit friends later."

After sending Luo Zibo to the door, Lin Lixia looked solemn and turned around to see Aunt Rong.

"Aunt Rong, there is something wrong with my property in Qingyang City. I may have to go back to Qingyang City to take care of some things."

Grandma Rong was shocked.

The draft is coming soon, and Miss Lin is afraid of missing the draft time once she travels back and forth to Qingyang City.

"Girl, it's hard to travel along the way. I'll make this trip for you, okay?"

Lin Lixia thought for a moment and said, "I am very confident in Aunt Rong's ability, but at such an old age, can her body be able to handle it?"

After receiving Lin Lixia's approval, Aunt Rong's eyes were full of excitement, feeling that she was a big step closer to becoming the first female official beside the Queen.

"Girl, this old slave can hold on!"

Seeing Aunt Rong taking the initiative, Lin Lixia breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Rong and Ying Zhong were both sent by Ji Shen to be by her side, and they treated her well.

She had to get them all away.

She could get married within three days, and she would not be implicated in Grandma Rong and the others being severely punished afterwards.

The most he could be fined was a little monthly salary.

She will also compensate them double.

"Aunt Rong, I will write a letter to my second uncle. The specific matters will wait until you arrive at Qingyang City. You will follow my second uncle's instructions."

Aunt Rong accepted the order with a face of joy.

Lin Lixia went to find Yingzhong again.

"Yingzhong, Aunt Rong took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Qingyang City to run errands for me. I want you to bring someone to escort her back."

Hearing that Lin Lixia was supposed to be going, Ying Zhong had no doubts about Aunt Rong making this trip.

In the early morning of the next day, Ying Zhong led someone to escort Nanny Rong, and hurriedly set off towards Qingyang City with Lin Lixia's autographed letter.

Until Ying Zhong left the city, Lin Lixia took Yan Mo, put on casual clothes and a curtain hat and went out.

Finding someone to marry within three days is a very risky thing.

In this era of imperial power, few people dare to compete with the emperor for women, and ordinary people cannot bear the emperor's thunderous wrath.

Among the people she knew who dared to challenge Ji Shen, the only one who dared to burn down Ji Shen's house was Duan Zihuai.

In the past few months, Duan Zihuai's overtures to her became more and more frequent, and every time she changed the topic in a way that did not hurt each other's face.

Duan Zihuai is a good-looking person, has a good conversation and temperament, and is also very wealthy.

She and Duan Zihuai agreed to marry. Neither her grandfather nor Ji Shen would have thought that this was just a way for her to avoid the draft.

Duan Zihuai had ulterior motives for her, and he was very profit-oriented.

She was driven by profit, and Duan Zihuai agreed to marry her for profit, even if he would be targeted by Ji Shen in the future.

It was also Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai, one who was willing to hit and the other who was willing to suffer. She would not feel guilty towards Duan Zihuai.

After sorting out the clues, Lin Lixia went straight to the topic in the first sentence after meeting Duan Zihuai.

"Master Duan, I want to discuss a deal with you, but I wonder if you dare to accept it?"

Hearing Lin Lixia's words, Duan Zihuai's eyes gradually brightened, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Miss Lin, I heard that the emperor is going to have a draft. Is the deal that Miss Lin wants to negotiate with me related to this year's draft?"

Lin Lixia's pupils dilated for a moment, "Young Master Duan is indeed well-informed, so guess what the purpose of my coming to find you today is?"

"Hahaha!" Duan Zihuai laughed heartily, but his eyes became more and more seductive.

He has been dealing with Lin Lixia for more than three years and knows that Lin Lixia likes to be straightforward.

"Miss Lin, I have met the real Lu Dingkun in the capital. I know that it was the emperor who gave you a big gift on your hairpin ceremony."

"Miss Lin, I guess you must know his true identity, and you have lived in Zizhu City for more than two years, and you are avoiding him."

Lin Lixia's pupils trembled slightly, and she instantly understood why Duan Zihuai kept staying in Zizhu City.

Whether Duan Zihuai's feelings for her are true or false is open to debate, but Duan Zihuai is waiting to find out.

Seeing Lin Lixia's shock, Duan Zihuai couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Miss Lin, don't you want to enter the palace?"

Faced with Duan Zihuai's straightforward question, Lin Lixia did not respond directly.

She looked directly at Duan Zihuai, trying to figure out Duan Zihuai's thoughts through Duan Zihuai's micro-expressions.

Seeing that Lin Lixia didn't reply to him, Duan Zihuai instantly understood what Lin Lixia was thinking at this moment.

The smile in his eyes was more elegant and seductive, and he was open and generous, allowing Lin Lixia to spy and look at him.

"Miss Lin, over the past three years, my thoughts for you can be proven by heaven and earth, and by the sun and moon. As long as you are willing to marry me, I will definitely live up to you in this life."

Faced with Duan Zihuai's solemn promise, Lin Lixia did not feel a single ripple in her heart.

Instead, he repeatedly explored whether Duan Zihuai's thoughts on her were because he was greedy for her looks? Or do you covet the secret recipe for laying golden eggs in her hand?

"Mr. Duan, I don't care about the relationship between men and women. I don't want to marry anyone. I just want to be a free, wealthy and idle person."

"Why?" Duan Zihuai's eyes showed confusion, and he was surprised by Lin Lixia's thoughts.

This was not what he expected.

"This kid doesn't have as long a story as my mother." Lin Lixia didn't want to elaborate on this issue, so she went straight to the point in one sentence.

"Mr. Duan, I want to get married within three days. I need to write a divorce letter before writing the marriage letter. We will not have any obligations as husband and wife after the marriage."

"The marriage lasts for one year, and we divorce after one year. When we divorce, I will give the secret recipe of Tiger Balm as compensation to make up for the man's losses during this year."

"Miss Lin!" The smile in Duan Zihuai's eyes gradually disappeared, and his voice was a little cold.

"I think you misunderstood. I admire you, not for the secret recipe in your hand."

Seeing Duan Zihuai angry, Lin Lixia did not feel guilty in her heart, but felt that Duan Zihuai's acting skills were very good.

She stood up slowly.

"Mr. Duan, you and I are both businessmen. Do you know how valuable the secret recipe of Tiger Balm is?"

"If Mr. Duan is not willing, there will naturally be other people who covet the secret recipe of Tiger Balm."

After saying that, without waiting for Duan Zihuai's reaction, Lin Lixia turned around and walked out.

"Miss Lin, stay!" Duan Zihuai called to Lin Lixia and said, "Miss Lin, we have agreed that the wedding date will be one year. If during this year, you and I develop true love between a man and a woman, can the marriage continue?"

"Okay!" Lin Lixia answered quickly, confident that she would not be attracted to Duan Zihuai.

Hearing Lin Lixia's words, Duan Zihuai's eyes lit up with a faint smile.

"Miss Lin, I agree with your proposal, but it's not for the secret recipe of Tiger Balm, but to give the two of us a chance in the future."

Hearing Duan Zihuai's agreement, Lin Lixia did not feel very relaxed. Instead, she felt an unexplainable sense of regret.

"Mr. Duan, the wedding is scheduled for tomorrow. Apart from the sedan chair to welcome the bride, everything will be kept simple."
