Li Shuxian closed her eyes and put the pearl hairpin into her neck. Baili Jingkang's eyes were quick and he immediately grabbed her hand.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Baili Jingkang snatched the pearl hairpin and threw it far away.
Regardless of the injury on her neck, Li Shuxian grabbed Baili Jingkang's hand tightly with her backhand, crying and begging: "Master Hou, Master Hou, please... please... I really can't live without Rong'er..."
…
Do you really want her to marry King Dongrong? Let her good years be wasted like this? Lord Marquis, can you really bear it? Can you really bear it? "
Because of the rampant monsters in Jiuzhou Continent, various countries have been at war for years. Therefore, the entire atmosphere of Jiuzhou Continent is that the strong are respected and the king rules the world.
Even if she is a woman, as long as she has strong strength, status, money, honor, and title... she can be granted the title of marquis, general, or even king or emperor.
However, Rongguo still followed the custom in ancient times that men were superior to women and women were not allowed to learn martial arts.
Women are vassals of men in Rongguo. Baili Jingkang has a marquis. Not only does he have only one woman, Li Shuxian, but he is also very gentle to her on weekdays. Basically, he has no objection to anything Li Shuxian says.
"Master Marquis, Baili Xixi; concubine or Rong'er, you choose one!"
Baili Jingkang couldn't let go of Li Shuxian and Baili Rong'er, but he also couldn't let go of Baili Xixi.
"Madam, Xixi is my eldest brother's only child..."
"I know, but Rong'er is my biological child."
"I'm going to beg Your Majesty, I'm going to beg the Queen Mother..." Baili Jingkang said and turned around and walked out.
Li Shuxian said coldly: "The news spread so fast in the imperial capital. Everyone in the world already knows that the legitimate daughter of our Baili family is going to marry King Dongrong. The Queen Mother, with the heart of a Bodhisattva, will not hit herself."
mouth."
Baili Jingkang knew that there was little hope, but he still wanted to try, "Even if you punish me, I will still go and beg."
Li Shuxian didn't expect that Baili Jingkang would go to this extent for Baili Xixi, and she was filled with hatred and fear. What she hated was that Baili Jingkang would go to this extent for Baili Xixi, but what she was afraid of was of course what would happen if it happened.
With a turning point, all her hard work would be in vain.
Just when Li Shuxian was in a panic and didn't know what to do, a decree came from the palace.
It turned out that the emperor knew that the Baili family was going to marry their legitimate daughter to King Dongrong for the sake of happiness. Not only did he give a large reward of gold, silver and jewels, he also deducted two "hereditary" titles from Baili Jingkang's title.
Character.
A surprise flashed in Li Shuxian's eyes. She knew that marrying Baili Xixi to King Dongrong would definitely bring a lot of benefits, but she didn't expect that the benefits would come so quickly and so violently.
Baili Jingkang accepted the imperial edict, but the veins on his forehead bulged with anger. He was a marquis sitting at home with no meritorious service, but the emperor casually granted him a hereditary title.
After the anger, Baili Jingkang's heart felt cold again. With the emperor's attitude, if he dared to say "no marriage", the whole family would have to...
"Master Marquis, when the matter has reached this point, do you still want to beg His Majesty? For the sake of Baili Xixi, are you going to give in to our whole family?" Li Shuxian threw up her sleeves and left.
Baili Jingkang stood stunned for a long time, and finally walked out of the house with messy steps.
Watching Baili Jingkang leave from a distance, Li Shuxian turned around and ordered his confidants Shuang'er and Jing'er to wait on Baili Xixi, "I will never let the eldest lady know about this before she gets married."
