After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Regardless of whether Nanyang Yao, who was thousands of miles away in Jialing City, knew about the arranged marriage, the wedding of Li Shiliu and Tong Wenjie was being prepared step by step.

In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble in Duke Yue's Mansion, Emperor Jiade specially appointed his wet nurse to go to Duke Yue's Mansion to help prepare for the wedding, using the excuse that Du Sanniang was in poor health.

The emperor's wet nurse has personally stepped in to take action. Even if Li Yue'er wanted to do something bad, she doesn't have the courage or ability to do so. If she fails, she will really lose her head.

However, if the East is dark, the West will be bright.

It was not the concubine Li Yue'er's turn to interfere with the wedding preparations. However, Li Yue'er absolutely did not want the wedding to go smoothly, so she secretly sent her personal maid out.

The spies from Tencent had been keeping a close eye on everyone in Duke Yue's Mansion, so they naturally discovered that Li Yue'er's maid had quietly left the mansion. They sent people to follow her and found out that Li Yue'er's maid had actually gone to the yard of the little white flower who had sold herself to bury her father and was bought by Tong Wenjie and secretly placed there.

Li Yue'er's maid had a secret conversation with Xiao Baihua for half an hour before leaving.

Naturally, the spy from Tencent reported this matter to Li Shiliu.

"Zhenzhu, go ask Manager Liu to send someone to investigate this little white flower. There must be something wrong with her.

Tong Guoan is the governor of the Nine Gates, in charge of the garrison of Yuanjing City. He must not let outsiders take advantage of the situation.

The Nine Gates Admiral must not panic. It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go."

Frowning slightly, Li Shiliu waved her hand and asked Zhenzhu to go to work.

No matter how turbulent the undercurrents were, on the surface, the capital of Yuan was filled with joy until the wedding day of the Yue family and the Li family.

…………

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated an auspicious day for getting married, and that day was a clear, sunny day in the autumn.

Except for the crying monkey Shangshu Li Lianggong, everyone else in the Li Mansion was in high spirits, at least on the surface.

Li Shiliu, who was woken up at dawn, had already dressed up with the help of Quanfuren and the matchmaker. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and sitting expressionlessly on the edge of the bed, waiting for the groom to come and pick her up.

"Dong dong dong..."

There were several unhurried knocks on the door of Li Shiliu's boudoir, causing Li Shiliu, who was in a daze, to look up.

"Sister Shi'er, I'm here to marry you."

The person who came was Li Yongnian, who was as gentle as jade and polite.

Li Yongnian smiled gently, walked in, took out an antique Huanghuali jewelry box and handed it to Li Shiliu.

"Today is sister Shi'er's big day. I don't have much, so this is a small token of my appreciation."

Reaching out to take the huanghuali jewelry box, Li Shiliu opened it and her pupils couldn't help but shrink. She closed the jewelry box with a snap and looked up at Li Yongnian who was smiling.

“Brother Yongnian, I can’t accept this.

This is a family heirloom of the Li family, a century-old family."

"Take it.

This was handed to me by my mother before I left home to follow the Grand Princess.

My mother's original intention was for me to hand it over to my future daughter-in-law, but I, Li Yongnian, will never marry or have children in this lifetime. Even if this heirloom of the Li family, a century-old family, remains in my hands, I will have no use for it.

It would be better to give it to my sister Shier."

"But……"

"It's okay, Sister Shi'er, just keep it with peace of mind.

When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact, let alone intangible objects such as jewellery. No matter how precious they are, they cannot change the fate of the five great families.

Rather than letting it be displaced in the future, it is better to give it to sister Shier.

I hope that Shier and her sister get what they want."

Things have come to this point, and Li Shiliu knows clearly that the emperor's patience with the five major families is probably running out.

"Then thank you, Brother Yongnian."

Li Shiliu handed the jewelry box in her hand to Feicui beside her and told Feicui to put the things away carefully.

Li Yongnian curled his lips and said, "My sister is getting married today, and it's her brothers' turn to carry her out. I'm not talented enough, but I wonder if I have the honor to carry my sister Shi'er out?"
