General Chi was afraid that she would offend the imperial power, so he grabbed her and said, "The little girl is spoiled, she just can't bear to see her sister get married, father-in-law, please continue."

The eunuch's expression improved a little: "Young lady, please accept the order."

Chi Yue's body swayed, and Hua'er supported her before she accepted the decree: "I thank your majesty for granting me marriage."

"I have to go and announce the imperial decree to Pei Zhuangyuan today, so I won't stay here for long. All of you should follow me."

"Please come this way, sir." General Chi extended his hand and invited him out.

As soon as the talented person left, Chi Suwu completely exploded: "What tricks did you use to make Pei Yanchao ask for an imperial decree to grant you a marriage?"

Just as she was about to explode, she saw Chi Yue's painful expression, and the nameless anger in her heart subsided a lot: "But I forgot that you like Situ Shang. I just don't know if he will be as painful as you after knowing this news."

She originally just wanted Chi Yue to be inferior to her in every way, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly become the fiancée of the new top scholar. Naturally, she was unhappy.

However, she didn't expect that her casual words almost made the two of them happy. Now seeing how painful she was, she didn't want to disrupt this marriage anymore.

It's painful to marry a man you don't love.

Thinking of the prince, Chi Suwu felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. Fortunately, she and the prince were in love with each other.

Chi Yue looked at the smug smile on her face, and her whole body was shaky: "Second sister, I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I'm leaving first. Please help me tell my father."

Chi Suwu nodded, looked at Chi Yue's back as if her soul had been sucked out, and laughed out loud.

Along the way, Chi Yue looked depressed and sad again, but Hua'er didn't feel sorry for her at all: "Miss, are you not satisfied with this marriage?"

Arriving at her own yard, Chi Yue finally let go of all her sadness. She stood up straight and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied. But if I am satisfied, someone will be dissatisfied."

Hua'er immediately understood what she meant, and then heard Chi Yue say, "Don't show any happiness during this period, to avoid any accidents."

"I understand, Miss." Hua'er smiled brightly, and even her steps became brisk.

This matter eventually reached Situ Shang's ears, and he knew who said it without having to think about it.

In the small and shabby room, Chi Suwu pushed Situ Shang to the ground with force: "Don't get so close to me, it's dirty."

There was undisguised disgust on her face. Situ Shang looked at her with disgust and slowly gathered strength in his hands.

He hated this woman, but now he had more important things to do. He looked up at Chi Suwu and shouted, "You lied to me, didn't you? Uncle has already agreed to my relationship with the eldest lady. How could he easily go back on his word?"

He has lived in the general's mansion since he was born, and was bullied by others. The most powerful person he saw was General Chi. In his eyes, General Chi was the sky of this family, and what he said was the fact.

Chi Suwu glanced at him lightly. She was very satisfied with what she saw. He should be like now, in pain and devastated, instead of being indifferent like before.

"This is an imperial decree. Even if Daddy agrees, what can we do? Are you going to violate the imperial decree for your sake? That would lead to the confiscation of property and a slap on the face. Who do you think you are to make Daddy take risks for you?"

"Impossible, impossible..." Situ Shang murmured over and over again. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chi Suwu, saying loudly: "I don't believe it!"

It was as if as long as his voice was loud enough, all this would be fake.

Chi Suwu sneered: "So what if you don't believe it? They are getting married tomorrow. If you don't believe it, go ask her yourself."

Seeing Situ Shang in such a state of disgrace, Chi Suwu burst into laughter: "Lu'er, let's go. Let him stay here alone to watch tomorrow's wedding."

The laughter was getting farther and farther away. Situ Shang struggled to get up from the ground: "I don't believe it. She must have lied to me. I'm going to ask her. I'm going to ask her."

He didn't know how he walked to Chi Yue's yard. He just raised his head and saw red lanterns hanging in the yard.

"Miss, please come here quickly. You haven't tried on this wedding dress yet." Hua'er's voice attracted his attention.

As soon as Chi Yue raised her head, she saw Situ Shang who had been standing in front of the door for a long time. The two looked at each other for a moment. Situ Shang looked at her and trembled slightly: "Cousin."

Just as Situ Shang was about to step forward, he was stopped by Hua'er. Just as he was about to push her away, he saw Chi Yue shaking her head at Hua'er: "Hua'er, my cousin and I still have something to say, you go down first."

Hua'er was a little unhappy and glared at him fiercely before leaving, but Situ Shang didn't take it to heart. He was only thinking about whether what Chi Suwu said was true.

"Miss."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chi Yue's eyes became misty. She didn't want him to see it, so she secretly turned her back and wiped away her tears one by one, then looked at him with a forced smile.

Situ Shang looked at her. Her eyes were still red and her face was very haggard. No matter how hard her life was in the past, he had never seen her like this.

For a moment, his heart felt a little bitter: "Second Miss said that you are getting married tomorrow, to Pei Yanchao, right?"

His eyes were fixed on Chi Yue, afraid of missing any information.

Tears completely burst out, and Chi Yue's voice was still sobbing: "I."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "The emperor has granted me a marriage, so I have no choice but to marry, but in my heart..."

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Situ Shang, hesitant to say something.

Situ Shang immediately understood everything. What Chi Suwu said was true. She really wanted to marry someone else.

Abandon him and marry someone else.

He didn't understand what the imperial edict was, he only knew that Chi Yue betrayed him after agreeing to marry him.

Chi Yue looked at the hidden hatred on his face and felt a little cold in her heart. She had been so nice to him recently, even if she was just pretending, but the things that happened really happened. He actually held a grudge against her just for this one thing.

"Cousin." Chi Yue choked up, "I'm sorry."

After she finished speaking, she turned her back. Situ Shang could hear her crying silently. He wanted to ask more, but the girl obviously didn't want to answer anymore.

"Hua'er, please send your cousin back."

Looking at the woman's thin back, Situ Shang regretted his tone a little, but when he thought that it was Chi Yue who betrayed him first, all the regrets disappeared instantly.

Hua'er looked at this ungrateful man and rolled her eyes in her heart. His young lady was so nice to him.

Shouldn't a normal person know if he is worthy and then let go? But he kept holding on to his lady tightly, fearing that she would meet someone better.

As they were about to reach the villa, Hua'er suddenly remembered what the young lady had told her before.
