Emperor Miyue Jiji came in and said, "Miss, I will send you to the study."
"Do you know what's going on?" Shu Qingcheng asked with a vigilant look on his face, but his heart was beating a drum.
Shu Zhihan gently shook her hand and said, "Fourth sister, it's okay. You can clean it up for me first. I'll be right back."
Seeing her running out, Shu Qingcheng couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.
She knew very well that her father loved Shu Zhihan the most. If she said she was unwilling in front of her father, the marriage might fall on her head. When she thought of this possibility, tears flowed out involuntarily.
The father and daughter looked at each other in the study.
"Han'er, do you have any complaints about your father asking you to get married?" The helpless and melancholy expression on his face couldn't deceive anyone.
Shu Zhihan didn't show much surprise when she heard this, and lightly pursed her lips, "My daughter is willing."
Shu Yuancun turned his back, not daring to look at her, for fear that the reluctance in his heart would suddenly collapse.
He said in his heart: "Child, don't blame me for being ruthless. Over the years, I have really treated you as my own daughter. It's just that at this time, you should stay as far away from this place of right and wrong as possible. ah."
Even though I was thinking about her leaving, I still felt like my heart was twisting in my stomach the moment I heard her say yes.
"Don't you ask me why?"
Shu Zhihan smiled and shook her head, "It's not necessary. Since it was my father who made the decision, there must be your reasons."
Shu Yuancun walked to her with heavy steps and patted her shoulder gently, "Good boy, there are some things that my father can't explain to you now, but remember, leaving may be the best thing for you. s arrangement."
"Yes, father, the daughter has resigned first."
After saying that, she leaned forward and left the study.
As soon as he walked out, he was pulled aside by a force.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Xiao Heyi. I was curious about why he was still here when I heard him ask eagerly: "Tell me quickly, who is it?"
This was the first time Shu Zhihan saw him so nervous, and she subconsciously said, "Me."
"What? How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me? Do you think I'm not worthy of General Anyuan?"
Xiao Heyi released his grip on her in an instant and kicked the nearby pillar angrily.
"General Anyuan, Zhihan, this is no joke. Do you know that person? He is a cold-faced and ruthless king of hell who kills people without blinking an eye. And what kind of place is that? When he gets there, he is called Tiantianying, called The earth is not working properly.”
Shu Zhihan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's not as scary as you said. Where did you hear this?"
"You are still laughing, don't you even know what you are afraid of? No, absolutely not, just wait, I will ask my father to come to your house to propose marriage, so you don't have to get married."
Xiao Heyi said and turned around to run away, but was caught, "Don't be ridiculous, this is an imperial edict. Besides, why should I marry you."
"We are childhood sweethearts. Is it possible that you really don't know my feelings?"
Shu Zhihan was stunned by this sentence. She had never thought about this before. Although he had been lingering by her side, it seemed that all this had become natural and she had not thought about it at all. .
"No, you can't just talk nonsense. Oh, forget it, I don't want to tell you anymore, but I can tell you, don't make your own decisions."
After Shu Zhihan said that, she immediately left Xiao Heyi, who was still angry, and walked back quickly, pulling Mi Yue who was waiting for her outside the study door.
Mi Yue asked with a confused look: "Miss, why don't you accept Second Young Master Xiao's proposal? Marrying him is better than marrying that murderous maniac."
"What are you talking about? This is the imperial decree. If you disobey it, you will be beheaded."
Mi Yue couldn't help but shrink her neck when she heard this, "But didn't the emperor just say that the Shu family's legitimate daughter is fine? Why would such a thing happen to you? Then didn't the eldest lady also reject it? Yet?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. If Madam and the others hear this, you'll be ripped off. I won't be able to protect you." Shu Zhihan immediately covered her mouth and put her hand on her lips to face her. Shaking his head.
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future. Think about it, the eldest sister and the madam are protecting you, and the fourth sister has always been delicate. How can she go to that windy and sandy place to suffer such sins."
Mi Yue's face was full of displeasure, and she pouted, "Are you the only one who can do it? Why don't they let you do good things, and leave all these things to you?"
Shu Zhihan knew that she was complaining about herself, but since the matter had been settled, why bother thinking about it anymore and causing more troubles.
Furthermore, leaving is not necessarily a bad thing. After leaving the Grand Master's Mansion that encircles you, perhaps the outside world will be broader and freer.
Return to the room.
Mi Yue looked at Shu Zhihan with a lonely face, "Miss, do you really want to marry in that wild land?"
"This has already come to this. Besides, how can the marriage be fake?"
"Then I'll go with you."
Shu Zhihan raised her head slightly and looked at her, gently holding her hand, "Aren't you afraid that you will suffer if you follow me?"
Mi Yue shook her head vigorously, "Whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I will follow you."
"Okay, let's go together." Seeing her look as if she was going to die heroically, Shu Zhihan couldn't help but laugh.
The wedding day is coming soon.
Shu Zhihan took more than 20 cartloads of dowry and headed for the border town in a bumpy way.
In the carriage, Shu Zhihan couldn't help but unbutton her collar, and lifted her red hood, her face flushed.
"Miss, it's too unsightly for you to do this. Hurry up and get dressed." After saying this, he quickly rearranged the untied collar for her.
"Oh, Miyue, look at it, I'm sweating on such a hot day. Look at this wedding dress. It's so thick. If it keeps like this, I'll be doomed."
Mi Yue immediately covered her mouth, "Bah, bah, bah, good luck. We're getting married soon, so we can't talk nonsense."
"Miss, why don't I go and ask if there is any shortcut? Let's get to the border town earlier, and you can take a bath and feel comfortable."
When Shu Zhihan heard this, she nodded eagerly, "Okay, okay, you go quickly."
After a while, Mi Yuexing hurried back and said, "Miss, there is indeed a shortcut ahead. If you go there, you will get to the border town one day faster than taking the main road."
"Almost a day? That's great, let's take the trail."
Mi Yue looked troubled and felt a little tangled in her heart, "But Miss, they said that the trail needs to go through a forest, and there will be bandits there from time to time. Otherwise, we still..."
Shu Zhihan didn't let her finish her words and interrupted directly, "How come there are so many of them? Besides, with so many of us, are they just decorations?"
Or do you want me to stink like this forever? It seems that other people's marriages are fragrant, but for me, the stench is overwhelming. "
"But......"
"It's nothing to worry about. You ask them to send people to hurry up and notify General Anyuan that we have to change lanes."
"Yes, miss."
Mi Yue couldn't resist her, so she had to tell the people who were leading the ceremony to go to the alley, and asked them to go and notify the wedding team.
Finally arriving outside the border city, Mi Yue took out a new wedding dress from the baggage she was traveling with and said, "Miss, let's put it on. General Naluo will come to pick up the bride later."
Shu Zhihan stared at the new wedding dress in her hand, "Mi Yue, Mi Yue, I've been smelly for so long. Since you have a new one, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"Oh, miss, this is for you to wear to get married. How can it get dirty? Okay, my good miss, come on, come on, I'll put it on for you."
After changing their clothes, they sat in the carriage and waited quietly. After waiting for a long time, they found no sign of anyone coming.
"Miss, look at that General Luo. He doesn't take you seriously. He's even late for the wedding."
"I'm not afraid of being late. I'm just afraid that I won't be there."
Shu Zhihan gathered her sleeves, stood up a little and was about to get down, but Mi Yue grabbed her.
She looked back and saw Miyue pursed her lips, frowned and shook her head.
"Oh, I'm just going to go down and take a breath and stretch my muscles."
"No, miss, you can't. It's not etiquette."
Shu Zhihan broke away from her in an instant and jumped out of the carriage as fast as she could, "What kind of etiquette is not polite? If you want to talk about etiquette, then General Living Hell is not polite."
While pacing back and forth, she murmured to herself: "Is it possible that he wants to give me a blow? Or maybe he doesn't want this marriage at all."
"Miss, if he doesn't want it, wouldn't it be better? We can just go back and forth from wherever we are without having to unload everything."
"Nonsense, you know, I am married by the Holy Spirit, how can I withdraw at will? Besides, I was rejected and returned home in disgrace. I think the eldest sister and the second sister have one more thing to talk about. What a gift of laughter.”
Mi Yue nodded as if she understood, "Miss, what you said seems to make sense. Then we won't go back. We have to marry that general no matter what."
Shu Zhihan smiled and nodded her head, "Hey, look here, the vastness. I like it here. Whether to marry him or not is another matter. Staying here is my own decision."
Suddenly she saw the sound of horse hoofs coming from the front, Mi Yue pointed excitedly in the direction of the sound, "Miss, miss, look, there is a group of people coming towards us. I think it is General Naluo who is coming to welcome the bride." .”
Only when the group of people got closer did they feel something was wrong.
"Miss, why are you not happy at all? It seems more like going to war."
Shu Zhihan also noticed something was wrong, and immediately protected Mi Yue behind her, staring at them warily.
