Chapter Five Forced Marriage (3)

Although the Qiao family father and son, including the entire Qiao family, did not know why Pei Rongbai fell in love with Qiao Songyu, but the next morning, the imperial decree came down.

An official from the Ministry of Rituals came, and there was a huge battle. Qiao's family knelt on the ground, but no one was in the mood to listen carefully to the content of the imperial decree. Everyone listened to a sentence that chilled their hearts for a while, and their hearts jumped. In the end, Qiao Hongxi shook his hands.Received the imperial decree, but did not forget to ask the housekeeper to stuff a small but expensive jade handle to the official of the Ministry of Rites.

However, he pushed the housekeeper's hand back, and then smiled affectionately at Qiao Hongxi: "Congratulations, Mr. Qiao, you will become the father-in-law of Prime Minister Pei.Mr. Qiao and the third son said a few words of kindness to the next official in front of Prime Minister Pei."

"Yes yes yes, if there is a chance, I will do like a dog and a horse." Qiao Hongxi smiled and scolded in his heartget out, who cares about being the father-in-law of your Prime Minister Pei!He is so many years older than my son, he can be my son's uncle, and he is ashamed to marry my son!

After politely sending away the group of people who announced the imperial decree, Qiao's mansion immediately fell into gloom.

Qiao Hongxi sat at the head with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Mrs. Qiao sat there with her handkerchief in her hand, weeping, saying "my heart and soul", "my precious son", "why are you so miserable".

The eldest son, Qiao Rongyu, frowned, put his hand on the armrest of the armchair, and tapped his four fingers non-stop, which was his characteristic small movement when he was usually thinking.

The second son, Qiao Zeyu, walked around anxiously in the living room for a while, then suddenly stopped and said, "No, my brother can't just marry that treacherous official. Haven't you heard of it? I heard someone say that PeiThere are a lot of singers and concubines in the prime minister's mansion, how can this kind of person be a dedicated person? He just covets his younger brother's beauty, and when he gets tired of it, where will he put his younger brother?"

"You said it lightly, but the imperial edict has been issued, is it possible to disobey the edict and disrespect it?" After all, Qiao Hongxi is the head of the family. He loves his son, but he is also worried about the lives of the entire Qiao family, let alone according to Pei Rongbai's instructionsEven if they resist the decree, he can snatch Qiao Songyu back to the house."We're new here in the capital, we don't have anything to rely on, and we don't know the current situation in the capital, so we just want to ask someone, who should we ask? Who would offend Pei Rongbai for us?"

"It's really not possible, it's better like this." Qiao Rongyu said suddenly.

"How?" Qiao Hongxi and Qiao Zeyu asked in unison.

"Let Songyu pretend to die, and only say to the outside world that he suddenly fell ill, and then let Songyu go to other places to avoid the limelight for a while, and then let Songyu come back when the traitor Pei Rongbai loses power." Qiao Rongyu said slowly, "IWhen I went to Ruzhou to do business before, I met a strange doctor, that man had fake death medicine, within seven days after taking it, the person would not be breathing or have a pulse, it was no different from death... Maybe Pei Rongbai could be fooled."

"You mean...the golden cicada escapes its shell?" Qiao Hongxi looked thoughtful.

"But the illness happened so coincidentally, Pei Rongbai might not be suspicious. What if he wants to bury Songyu himself? Then it will be self-defeating..." Qiao Zeyu worried again, "What's more, Pei Rongbai is so powerful and has raised many strange people.There may not be a genius doctor who is a stranger, if he finds out that his younger brother is a fake death, he will be angered, and if he gets his younger brother, he will take revenge..."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. Why don't we just watch Song'er marry that traitor and let him spoil it!" Mrs. Qiao cried, "Why is my Song'er so miserable? Tell that traitor to seeI got it! No matter how many calculations I can make, I can't count him as a man who can encounter such a dirty thing!"

"Okay, don't talk about this..." Qiao Hongxi said helplessly.

"Stop talking, I'll marry you!"

This sudden sound was like thunder on a sunny day, and everyone looked at Qiao Songyu who was standing at the entrance of the flower hall in amazement.

I saw Qiao Songyu, who was supposed to be tricked into going back to the room, walked into the flower hall quickly, and said firmly to everyone: "I just marry, it doesn't matter if he is Pei Rongbai or Pei Ronghei, you are all afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him, heIs it possible that he can still eat me or not, you just watch, I will tame him into obedience!"

Everyone looked at him in amazement, and one sentence jumped out in their hearts: really newborn calves do not fear tigers...
