After hearing this, Shen Cang just stood there in a daze, forgetting even the purpose of the conversation.

He turned to look at Shen Qiyin in a daze, his eyes full of helplessness: "Give, give Shen Langjun a marriage? Is it for your elder brother?"

"What nonsense!" Without waiting for Shen Qiyin to answer, Old Madam Shen hit him first: "Emperor Guangzong is gone, are you confused?"

“…That’s Yaozu?”

"Oh my, are you so happy that you've gone silly or what?" Old Madam Shen smiled at E Mingfu embarrassedly: "He hasn't reacted yet, don't laugh at me, father-in-law."

"Of course not. I would like to congratulate you all." As he spoke, E Mingfu pushed the imperial edict forward again: "Master Shen, please accept the edict and express your gratitude as soon as possible."

Shen Cang had his head held down by the old lady, and took the imperial edict with full of doubts.

Compared to Shen Cang's confusion, Old Madam Shen was extremely happy and felt that her body was almost healed.

Even if she was ignorant, she knew that ordinary families were not worthy of His Majesty's granting of marriage. They had to be powerful families, or relatives of the royal family, or people who had made great contributions to the country.

Could it be that the second girl cured some nobleman's illness, and His Majesty had nothing to reward her with? And he happened to know that her father had divorced his wife, so he arranged a wife for her?

No matter what, being granted marriage is a matter of honor for the family.

Shen Qiyin felt that this matter was not that simple.

Is it her father's turn to marry a good person?

Thinking of this, she tried to test E Mingfu's attitude and asked, "May I ask, sir, what kind of person is this Concubine Hui's sister? We are just an ordinary family and don't interact much with noble families, so we don't know much about her."

As she spoke, she poured him a cup of tea herself.

E Mingfu took it and sat down again, saying, "Speaking of this Lady Li, we have to mention Concubine Hui."

"In her early years, she was just a little maid in the palace of the Empress Dowager. Later, she was fortunately favored by the late emperor and was given a position."

"But when the late emperor passed away, she was just a noble lady, and was only given the title of imperial concubine after his death."

"She died to save the Queen Mother. Before she died, she only prayed that the Queen Mother would take good care of her sister and find a good home for her."

"For this reason, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty have been worrying about this Lady Li for so many years." After a pause, E Mingfu changed the subject and said, "Now I heard that there is no mistress in your house, and Mr. Shen is upright and good-looking, which is a perfect match for Lady Li!"

Old Madam Shen smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits: "They match, they match..."

Shen Qiyin understood.

This imperial decree was mainly issued to Madam Li. It was just a formality for them.

Shen Cang was so overwhelmed by this sudden marriage that for a moment, he had no time to mourn his lost chastity. He was only urged by Old Madam Shen to prepare the betrothal gifts and go to the Li family to propose marriage.

Besides, when Jiang Wan heard the contents of the imperial edict, he was so angry that his teeth were about to break!

She had endured humiliation for so long and had finally managed to get rid of Sun. She thought that the position of legal wife was within her grasp, but she never expected that another Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear!

But no matter who it is, if they dare to stand in her way, they will have no chance of getting away with it!

However, Jiang Wan shuddered as he recalled the horrifying dreams he had had those two nights. He secretly told himself that no matter how hard he fought this time, he must not kill anyone.

Otherwise, if the other party turns into a ghost, it would be convenient for him to come and seek revenge on her, which would be a waste of time and effort.

While turning the blessed Buddhist beads that she had brought back from the temple two days ago, she chanted "Amitabha".

Although she missed the chance to become the legal wife, Jiang Wan comforted herself by saying that her feelings towards Shen Cang were different after all. Moreover, she felt that that damn Madam Li might not be as good as herself. Otherwise, Shen Cang would not have been able to marry her!

pity--

However, Old Madam Shen and Shen Cang could not see through this.

Perhaps it was because he was in high spirits when something good happened, and he was busy preparing for the wedding all day, and gradually forgot about the bad things that happened that day. Only when he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and then the big man in the dream turned into a cold sweat in reality.

I lay down again, but couldn't fall asleep.

The night was long, and he could only place his hopes on the wife who had not yet married him. He thought that now that he was in middle age, he could actually marry a beautiful woman again. If she could give birth to a son for him, then his life would be complete.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that everything went smoothly.

The Li family had lost their elders, so on the day Shen Cang went to propose marriage, he met Li Zhenzhu in person, but because there was a screen between them, he could not see her true face.

She said that as a woman, it would be inconvenient for her to live alone, so she wanted to get married as soon as possible.

Although Shen Cang felt a little strange, he thought that it was the emperor who granted the marriage after all, and he had the face of Concubine Hui. He was indeed short of someone to manage things, so he agreed to it.

The twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day.

Shen Cang happily welcomed back his long-awaited bride.

After paying respects to heaven and earth and escorting the bride to the bridal chamber, Shen Cang, with great excitement, slowly lifted the big red mandarin duck veil on the bride's head while holding the wedding scale tied with red silk...
