Twenty years ago, Shangjing City was still not as bustling as it is now. Although there were a few busy streets, only the two of them were doing well. In recent years, Tian Sheng had just had a bit of an economic development. As the capital of the Tian Sheng Empire, Shangjing City was naturally the first city to get rich. In the streets, the Li family used to be in the fabric business, and when the Li family's old master saw the right time, he went to a few clothing stores. The business was doing very well. The Master of Li family was good at scheming, and good at business opportunities. In just a few short years, the Li family's shop expanded, and the Li family quickly became the richest man in Shangjing.
Even though he was already a rich person in this area, Master Li still married his only daughter to a large family in the Jiangnan River Village. He was the second wife of a 50-year-old man, and it was said that the old man had three concubines.
The Li family still had a son who looked like a weak scholar. He wasn't as shrewd and scheming as the old master.
In the past few days, there had been a rumor circulating among the people saying that the Li family's old master had climbed onto a marriage, and that his daughter was an extremely high official within the imperial court. However, this high official was willing to give out two boxes of precious dowry just to find a good person to treat his daughter well.
However, it was something that no one cared about for for a few years.
The Li family's old master calculated and calculated, and felt that this was a good marriage, so he went to the high official's house to propose the marriage. The marriage was accepted, and soon, the news of it spread throughout the streets.
The Li family's son was frowning with worry because he had already gotten his new master, Li Sanniang, who occasionally came to the district to sell tofu. Li Sanniang's family was in poor condition, and her father was in bed. The son of the Li family saw her a few times and secretly helped her along a few times before he fell in love.
The Li family's master agreed to the high official's marriage and went home to notify his son. Although the Li family's son was usually gentle, he didn't expect that this time he would resist in anger. The Li family's master was naturally unwilling to let Li Sanniang's poor house slip through the roof, so he ordered his son to be locked up.
The night before their wedding, the Li family's son bribed the servant that was guarding the estate and escaped. The son of the Lee family ran all the way to Li San Niang's house. The two of them had nowhere else to go, so they hugged and cried for a while. After the son of the Lee family left some silver coins for Li San Niang's father, the two of them carried each other and ran away.
The Li family's son and Li Sanniang ran away with great difficulty. When they were exhausted, the two of them ran to a reservoir, and when they saw that the Li family's servants were about to give chase, the Li family's son and Li Sanniang looked at each other in despair before pulling each other's hand and jumping into the reservoir.
The strange thing was, the Li family's son and Li Sanniang did not fall into the water. Instead, they were struck by a force and returned to the ground.
Lord Judgement, when will your nosy habit be fixed?" He was an extremely handsome man, so beautiful that even women would be jealous of. He truly had a face that was gentler than a woman's. The son of the Li family had never seen such a good-looking man, and he was even a man.
"I am an immortal official of the Marriage Hall in the Nine Heavens, this is my business." The Li family's son turned his head to look. The girl who had spoken was very bright and pretty, and her spirit didn't feel like an ordinary person either.
As the young girl spoke, she pulled out a red rope from somewhere and tied it around the neck of Li family's son, Li Sanniang, as she spoke.
In the blink of an eye, the red rope disappeared.
The Li family's sons and Li Sanniang trembled in fear, not daring to speak.
At this moment, the servants of the Li family were chasing after them. When the Li family's son saw Li Sanniang, his face turned deathly pale.
"Don't be afraid, I am the Godly Monarch whose Heaven Realm governs marriages. I can see that you and Li Sanniang are in love with each other, and also as deep as the sea, so I wanted to guarantee this marriage for you. Young master Li, if you return to the Li Family to get married, I can guarantee that you will marry your Li Sanniang, and you won't have to court your death." Xing Yin smiled and comforted his son.
The Li family's sons and Li Sanniang naturally could not believe what Xing Yin had said. The two stood stiffly on the spot.
The male Godly Monarch who came with the female Godly Monarch seemed to be extremely impatient, "Did you see that? I didn't appreciate their kindness so I might as well bring their souls into the underworld. Wouldn't it be great if they could be a pair of lovebirds?"
After hearing what the male Godly Monarch said, the Li Family's son and Li Sanniang were so scared that their bodies were trembling.
"Shi Xuan!" The female Godly Monarch shouted at the male Godly Monarch in dissatisfaction.
When the male Godly Monarch heard what Xing Yin said, he actually obediently straightened his body. He looked very neat and orderly, and the previous cold and terrifying aura was no longer present in his words. "I was just joking. I don't want my underworld to have more of these things for no reason at all. You two must live well." With that, Shi Xuan laughed towards his Li Family's son and Li Sanniang.
On the second day, a strange thing happened in Shangjing City. The Li family was the daughter of a high official, and thus, they were quite ugly. However, when the matchmaker called for the groom to lift the curtains, the person in the bridal sedan was actually Li Sanniang, who bought tofu from the suburbs.
Everyone was extremely surprised. They had clearly seen the flawed bridal sedan from the bride's house, and the matchmaker could clearly see it. Nothing happened along the way, not a single movement could be seen. When did the bride fall out of the bag?
The Li family's master was very angry. He opened his mouth to call for someone to throw Li Sanniang who was in the palanquin, but found that he could not make a sound. The Li family's son happily pulled Li Sanniang into the Li family's residence to pay respects. The Li family's master was unable to personally drive Li Sanniang away, but he discovered that his body was already uncontrollably sitting in the high hall as he helplessly received the worship from his son and Li Sanniang.
That night, the son of the Li family vaguely saw Godly Monarch Xing Yin from yesterday. Godly Monarch told him that he must properly cherish Li Sanniang and not always seek death at such a young age.
The Li family's son was extremely grateful as he kowtowed and kowtowed several times. Before he could even finish thanking Shi Xuan, the Godly Monarch had already dragged Xing Yin away and disappeared into the night sky, as if he had never appeared before.
Not long after, the Li family's son went to the Green Spring Mountain to build a temple, which was used to support the Xing Yin Godly Monarch. However, after all these years, other than the Li family's son paying respects every year, there weren't many people to pay their respects.
It was said that there was a temple at the Green Spring Mountain. It said that a kind-hearted female Godly Monarch who liked to help men and women in the mortal world.
