She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

There was a momentary blank in Chu Tingyu's mind, and he even forgot what to do next.

It seemed as if those boxes contained not dowries but his unexpressed emotions.

"Your Majesty?" Xiang Mingfang spotted him and hurried forward. "Why are you here? Madam and the princess are inside. Please come in."

Chu Tingyu came back to his senses.

Yes, he is here to stop this engagement.

Even if it has been decided, he will stop it.

No matter what the cost, he would never watch Li Jingwan marry someone else.

When he walked into the hall, Chu Tingyu saw Li Jingwan reading a red booklet.

Yao was talking, "Jingwan, once you've read the engagement letter, give it to...the prince?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingwan turned around and met Chu Tingyu's gaze, very surprised.

"My Lord, when will you..."

Before she could finish, Chu Tingyu suddenly walked up to her quickly, took the booklet from her hand, and read "Letter of Employment" in two big words.

His heart suddenly ached and he clenched the booklet tightly. Then he walked in front of Yao and knelt down in her surprised gaze.

This series of actions shocked her.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?!" Yao was shocked. She dared not endure his kneeling and hurried to help him up.

But Chu Tingyu dodged her move and insisted on kneeling on the ground.

"Madam Yao, I will never agree to this marriage. Please withdraw."

Yao was stunned, "This..."

Li Jingwan was greatly surprised. After she came to her senses, she hurried forward and said, "My Lord, if you have anything to say, please get up and speak."

She didn't understand what was wrong with Chu Tingyu. He was normal when they met in the training ground in the morning.

Now he actually comes out to say that he disagrees with this marriage. Does he have some grudge against Marquis Pingyang?

"Jingwan, let me finish what I want to say." Chu Tingyu no longer suppressed his inner feelings.

Over the years, he has actually always been a very tolerant person.

He endured the death of his elder brother, the shame of defeat in the northwest, Chu Tingjue's constant small movements, and the misunderstanding of everyone.

He has always believed that “a gentleman should be slow to speak but quick to act” and that in many matters, as long as one is determined in one’s direction, there is no need to express it.

But now, he is unwilling to endure it any longer.

He looked at Yao with a solemn expression.

"My eldest brother died in the northwest battlefield. I swore that I would not marry until the Western Rong were defeated."

"Now, I would like to ask for your consent to let me marry Jingwan."

Yao was stunned.

Li Jingwan didn't react for a moment, but a voice in her heart was gradually getting stronger.

It turns out that she is not unrequited love.

It turned out that she was so lucky that Chu Tingyu also liked her.

Chu Tingyu said, "Madam Yao, I have always liked Jingwan. I wanted to ask the emperor to issue an order, but I didn't expect that I was too late..."

He clenched the engagement letter in his hand and presented it to Yao, "Please cancel this marriage. I will bear all the consequences."

Yao was still in shock, and felt a little amused and helpless when she heard this.

"Your Highness, this..." She didn't know what to say, so she calmed down and said, "Your Highness, the rumors in the capital are about you and Miss He Bingshu..."

"That's not true." Chu Tingyu immediately interrupted her and turned to look at Li Jingwan and explained, "These are all rumors. She and Master He came to the training ground this morning, and I didn't know about it."

Li Jingwan thought about her own gaffe at that time and was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

Yao could see that there was affection between them, "Your Highness, although the marriage of their children is decided by their parents, Jingwan has suffered so her marriage should be decided by her."

She looked at her daughter, "Jingwan, do you agree?"

Li Jingwan's nose was already filled with sourness.

Chu Tingyu immediately turned to look at her, his eyes full of anticipation.

The sight of Chu Tingyu looking at her reminded her of the last words Chu Tingyu said to her when she left the cemetery in her previous life.

She always remembered——

"If there is an afterlife, you must meet me."

Through tearful eyes, the image of Chu Tingyu at this moment overlapped with the one in his dream.

The word that I didn't have time to say at that time was finally spoken in this life.

"it is good."

She nodded, tears streaming down her face.

Chu Tingyu was overjoyed and resisted the urge to hold her hand. He turned around and kowtowed respectfully to Yao with a serious tone.

"Madam Yao, I promise here that I will only marry Jingwan in this life and will never take a concubine. I will never let her suffer any grievances."

Yao's eyes were also wet, and she nodded continuously, "Okay, okay..."

As long as her daughter chooses someone, she will definitely support him.

Chu Tingyu then stood up and handed the engagement letter to Yao again, "Madam Yao, you can return this engagement letter."

"You can't return it." Li Jingwan said quickly, "I've already accepted it, how can I return it?"

"You still want to stay?" Chu Tingyu was puzzled, with a hint of grievance in his voice, "Since you have already promised me, you must withdraw."

He thought Li Jingwan was in trouble, so he tore up the letter of appointment and said, "I will take care of Marquis Pingyang."

"And the dowry, send it back now."

"Why did you tear up the engagement letter?" Li Jingwan's eyes widened. "This should be left to Mengli."

"Mengli?" Chu Tingyu was puzzled.

Yao had just figured it out and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. This is the engagement letter from Pingyang Hou to my niece Yao Mengli."

"The one he wants to marry is Mengli, not Jingwan."

"Their marriage was decided a few days ago. Mengli came to the capital just to get married."

Soon, Prince Jing, who always had a calm expression and never showed his emotions, blushed.

He held the employment letter that he had torn in half, feeling very embarrassed. "So... So that's it. I misunderstood."

"I'll go find the Marquis of Pingyang and ask him to...write another one."

It was the first time that Li Jingwan saw him so embarrassed, and she couldn't help but laugh.

She smiled, and Chu Tingyu smiled too.

-

Although they had expressed their feelings to each other, Chu Tingyu was worried that things might change, so he immediately took Li Jingwan into the palace.

They went to see Chu Yin first, and Chu Tingyu directly said that he wanted to marry Li Jingwan.

Chu Yin was a little surprised, then he smiled and asked Li Jingwan.

"Princess Le Yi, have you thought it through?"

Li Jingwan was a little shy, but she still met his gaze generously and nodded firmly.

"Your Majesty, I also like the prince and hope to spend the rest of my life with him."

Chu Yin was very appreciative, "Okay, I will agree to you."

The two were overjoyed and knelt down to express their gratitude.

Chu Yin laughed, "Yu'er, you have to treat the princess well. If she wants to divorce her husband again, I will definitely support her."

"Don't worry, father. This will never happen." Chu Tingyu answered seriously even though he knew he was joking, "I will never let Jingwan down."

After the two of them went out, Chu Yin asked Cheng Deying to write the imperial decree to grant marriage, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

After Cheng Deying finished writing, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the prince's marriage now."

"Well, my stupid son has finally come to his senses." Chu Yin nodded with satisfaction, "I can finally hold my grandson in my arms."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Deying understood that the throne belonged to Chu Tingyu.
