"Yes, this son knows." Although Dong Fang Li was not happy in her heart, she did not dare to show it.

At first, the one who wanted him to marry Xia Sizhu was you, royal father. Now, it's also royal father who helped Xia Sizhu annul the engagement.

"Boss, I know that you're not feeling well, but I was reckless this time. I'll make it so that you won't be able to hang on my face. How about I give you the marriage for the prime minister's wife!" Don't you like her? Since this Xia Sizhu wasn't willing to be the Crown Prince's consort, then find someone you're willing to be the Crown Prince's consort. Would you be willing to marry her? "If you are willing, I will grant you the marriage." The Emperor pretended to be troubled for a moment before slowly speaking.

"This son is willing." When Dongfang Li heard that the Emperor was willing to give him and Little Er a marriage, her eyes filled with joy, and her dissatisfaction towards the Emperor also disappeared.

"Alright, I shall draft an edict now. Since both of them want to marry, how about it on the same day?" The Emperor probed Dongfang Li with his question.

"This son will be determined by royal father." At this moment, Dongfang Li's heart was already full of joy. She just wanted to quickly marry Xia Caixi off.

"The imperial edict has been prepared. Bring someone with you to announce it!" After pressing down the Imperial Jade Seal, the emperor handed the imperial edict to a eunuch at the side. The eunuch then left with the imperial edict.

"Go down and prepare for the wedding!" The Emperor waved his hand, signaling Dongfang Li to go down.

"Yes, your son shall take his leave." Happiness came too suddenly, and Dongfang Li was not prepared at all. She did not react until she left the Imperial Palace.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Where's Xia Caixi?" As soon as Xia Sizhu returned to the Prime Minister's Estate, he heard the imperial edict. It frightened her so much that she thought the emperor had bestowed her another marriage. Fortunately, however, it was Xia Caixi.

"This subject's daughter is here." Xia Caixi hurriedly knelt down.

Xia Fengtian is blessed with good fortune, and the emperor decrees that the young miss of the prime minister's family will be easy going, that she will be wise and virtuous, and that she will become the crown prince's consort. Two days later, she will be married off with her younger sister. After the eunuch read the imperial edict, he passed it to Xia Sizhu.

"Your subject's daughter, Xia Caixi, accepts the decree." Xia Caixi's hands were trembling as she accepted the imperial edict. She never thought that the Emperor would actually grant her a marriage, much less that he would bestow her with Big Brother Li. Furthermore, it was the princess consort.

"Prime Minister, your two daughters have both become concubines of the crown prince, please take care of them." The eunuch spoke with a flattering tone.

"That's only natural. This little respect, please accept it." With a smile on his face, Xia Wei took out some silver from his robes and gave it to the eunuch.

"How can I accept this? Isn't it time for us to leave?" The eunuch said that he was sorry, but he took the silver taels and placed it in his pocket.

"Servants, escort the eunuch out." Xia Wei immediately said.

"Eunuch, this way please." A servant came out to escort the eunuch out.

"Mother, I can already marry Big Brother Li, and you're still the princess consort." Xia Caixi took the imperial edict and spoke to the first wife in disbelief.

"Yes, you can marry the Crown Prince." At this moment, the first wife's face was full of pride as well. Her two daughters were both women of the crown prince, but seeing that other people still dared to show such disrespect to her, seeing that she wouldn't trample over that slut, Madame Liu.

Xia Sizhu looked at the two, who were extremely excited. The corners of her mouth slightly lifted, as she prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, Xia Sizhu discovered Xia Caisi not far away. Xia Caisi glanced at her for a moment, then left. Xia Sizhu could see the trace of resentment in Xia Caisi's eyes.

Resentment? Who did she resent?

Xia Sizhu followed Xia Caisi's gaze and looked over, meeting Xia Caixi's provocative gaze.

Xia Sizhu was stunned. Under Xia Caixi's pleased gaze, she left. In the instant she turned around, the corner of her mouth curled up. Things are getting more and more interesting!

"Miss, you're back! "Wuwuwu ~ Ling'er is so worried for little miss." As soon as Xia Sizhu returned to her bamboo house, Ling'er pounced on her.

The collision forced Xia Sizhu to retreat a few steps. Her head was filled with black lines as she looked at Ling'er, who hung on her body like a koala, crying, and the headache she felt as she held her forehead.

"Ling'er, you're strangling your little miss to death." Xia Sizhu rolled her eyes.

Ah!" Miss, I'm sorry! " Ling'er hurriedly retracted her hands from Xia Si Zhu's neck and got off his body.

"Ling'er, you go down first. I have some things to say to your young lady." At this moment, Aunt Liu came out of her room with a smile on her face.

"Oh!" Although Ling'er was unhappy, she still followed his instructions.

"What is it, Aunt Liu?" Xia Si Zhu and Aunt Liu arrived at a pavilion. Xia Si Zhu poured himself a cup of tea and sipped on it.

"I heard from Ling'er that yesterday night, the King went to the prison to see you." Aunt Liu poured herself a cup of tea as well.

"Pu ~ Cough cough cough!" Xia Sizhu was so frightened by Aunt Liu's strange tone that she spat out a mouthful of tea.

"I'm just asking, is there a need to have such a huge reaction? Have you done something bad that makes you feel guilty? " Aunt Liu had just barely dodged Xia Sizhu's spurt of tea as she smiled warmly.

"Aunt Liu, what are you thinking about!?" There's nothing wrong with what I can do. " With great difficulty, Xia Sizhu calmed herself down.

"Didn't you do it? Why did the Night King, who has never been near women, come to visit you in the prison so late at night? " Aunt Liu was a shrewd person, so how could she believe Xia Sizhu's lies?

"This, I think he must have had a brain attack that day." Xia Sizhu didn't know how to describe her relationship with Dongfang Ye, so she could only misunderstand.

"That's right, the Emperor has just ordered for Xia Caixi to be conferred the title of Crown Prince's consort. He will be marrying Xia Caisi in two days." Thinking of the scene she saw in the front hall, Xia Sizhu felt the need to let Aunt Liu know.

"What do you think of this?" Aunt Liu didn't have much of a reaction. She only raised her eyes to look at Xia Sizhu.

"The first wife's two daughters are both married to the crown prince. That means the first wife is linked to the crown prince. Although it's a little difficult to bring her down, it's not impossible. After all, the crown prince is not someone who can interfere with his family matters." Xia Sizhu put down her teacup as a cold light flashed through her eyes.

"But don't worry Aunt Liu, these two daughters marrying a man might not be a good thing." Xia Sizhu recalled the scene from before and smiled as she spoke.

"What do you mean?" Aunt Liu looked at Xia Sizhu doubtfully.

"If both of them liked the crown prince and the crown prince only liked Xia Caixi, don't you think this would be interesting?" Xia Sizhu raised an eyebrow with a smile in her eyes.

"Are you saying that Xia Caisi likes the crown prince as well?" A light flashed in Aunt Liu's eyes. If that was the case, then could the first wife have the heart to fight her? That still needed to be said!

"Yeah, I can tell from Xia Caisi's eyes that she likes the crown prince as well. If these two were to start a fight, who do you think the wife would help?" Xia Sizhu suddenly wanted to see the two of them pinch each other.
