143: Gift Marriage 143: Gift Marriage “Crown Prince, that is our Mo Family’s ancestor!” Mo Caiyun raised her head and looked at her daughter, then said to the Crown Prince.
Since Mo Jiuqi hadn’t told her about the incident at the inn, she didn’t know the reason why the Crown Prince suddenly came to find Mo Jiuli.
Mo Caiyun’s words not only shocked Ouyang Luoxi, but also Mo Jiuqi…
She never expected that this old man would be their Mo Family’s ancestor.
But why were they with that woman at the inn?
Why was the Crown Prince so sure the woman was Mo Jiuli?
Why didn’t the two ancestors recognize her even though she was the legitimate daughter of the Mo Family…
It must be said that Lady Mo was overthinking it.
Her family’s ancestors had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, so even with the title of Lady Mo, the old men couldn’t possibly recognize her…
“Mother, how is this possible?” Mo Jiuqi asked in shock.
If these two were ancestors of the Mo Family, then she remembered that there were two more old men at the inn.
There were many ancestors in the Mo Family, but only their direct ancestors, the strongest existences in the Lingtian Continent, were together…
“Jiuqi, what’s wrong with you?
Go and meet the two ancestors!” Mo Caiyun was puzzled by her daughter’s attitude, as she was usually very sensible.
Seeing the look in her mother’s eyes, Mo Jiuqi came to her senses and immediately bowed to the two Mo Family ancestors, saying: “Junior Mo Jiuqi pays homage to the two ancestors!”
Nor were there any words to get up.
Instead, Crown Prince Ouyang Luoxi, feeling embarrassed, gently helped Mo Jiuqi up…
From the attitudes of the two ancestors, Mo Jiuqi knew that they were on the same side as the woman at the inn.
Although she was indignant, she didn’t show it…
What she really wanted to know now was who that woman was?
The Crown Prince claimed she was Mo Jiuli, but she clearly wasn’t the Mo Jiuli she knew.
A person couldn’t have completely changed their appearance in just five years…
“Your Highness, what do you think about the imperial decree…”The eunuch who announced the decree looked at the Crown Prince and asked cautiously.
If it were just Mo Family’s Fourth Master, even if he was the Fifth Elder of the Alchemy Association, a eunuch announcing the decree wouldn’t need to be concerned and could directly announce it.
However, with the Mo Family’s ancestors present, they were divine-level figures on the Lingtian Continent!
It was not only the Crown Prince and the Emperor, but even the royal family’s ancestors would dare not to provoke such figures!
Crown Prince Ouyang Luoxi looked at the people in front of him and was very conflicted!
Could he just not announce this imperial decree, and take it back?
But since the Mo Family’s ancestors had already stepped in, if he continued…
Immediately, Ouyang Luoxi remembered that the royal wedding decree he had brought was for Mo Jiuli to marry into the royal family as the Princess Consort, an honor they’d not refuse.
So, Ouyang Luoxi smiled faintly and said to Mo Chenluo, “Fifth Elder, since Jiuli is unwilling to come out, then it’s up to you to accept this imperial decree for her!”
He did not give Mo Chenluo any chance to refuse, and directly nodded to his eunuch by his side, “Please announce the decree!”
The eunuch saw the Crown Prince’s intention and immediately understood his meaning.
Without caring whether the people in front of him were standing or kneeling, he opened the imperial decree and read it, “By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees!
Mo Jiuli, the legitimate daughter of General Mo’s Mansion, is kind-hearted, young and beautiful and has a marriage contract with the Crown Prince.
Due to a misunderstanding, the marriage contract was canceled.
I deeply regret it.
Later, according to the Crown Prince, the two are in love and have a heart-to-heart connection!
I cannot bear to see the two separate because of a misunderstanding.
Therefore, today, I issue a decree to bestow marriage and confer Mo Jiuli, the legitimate daughter of General Mo’s Mansion, as the Princess Consort!
Choose a day to complete the marriage…”
Under high pressure, the eunuch finally finished reading the imperial decree!
His whole body was soaked with cold sweat, not knowing why, but he felt countless fierce eyes staring at him…
After reading the decree, he didn’t want to stay any longer, greeted the Crown Prince, stuffed the decree into his hands, and hurriedly left the General’s Mansion…
The two Mo Family ancestors watched the frightened eunuch leave and looked disdainful.
If it weren’t for the fact that Miss Mo wanted them to focus on resolving the issue at hand, they would have loved to send the eunuch to his doom with a flick of their sleeves…
Looking at Mo Jiuqi, who was looking heartbroken at the Crown Prince, and Crown Prince Ouyang Luoxi, who had ill intentions, the two old men couldn’t help but think that Mo Family’s girl was right not to come out.
These people all had ill intentions, and interacting with them only lowered her worth…
Mo Jiuli and the other two Mo Family ancestors, listening to the contents of the imperial decree, couldn’t help but sneer.
The Crown Prince really wouldn’t give up until he saw the coffin…
“Little girl, the royal family may not let this go easily this time!
Also, what was the light when you canceled the marriage contract with the Crown Prince?” The Mo Family ancestor recalled the scene of Mo Jiuli canceling the marriage contract with the Crown Prince at the inn, and asked curiously.
“I’m not exactly sure either, but in my memory, I have a recollection of what I needed to do to dissolve the marriage contract!” Mo Jiuli didn’t want to say much, and glossed over the matter.
She had learned how to dissolve the marriage contract from the memory of the original host.
To be more specific, it was from a dream the original host had when she had not yet given birth to Baobao.
There was a time when she repeatedly had the same dream…
In the dream, everything was white and nothing could be seen, but a voice, neither male nor female, kept saying strange things, all incomplete sentences.
For example, the token, the Crown Prince, the marriage contract, and the heart blood…
At that time, she was getting annoyed by the dream, until the last time, when the voice clearly said: “If you want to dissolve the marriage contract, you must first take a drop of heart blood from the other party and drip it into the token on their body!”
After that, she never had that dream again…
Later, when her people were gathering information, they also found out that the Empress Dowager had bestowed a marriage contract between the original host and the Crown Prince because of a token that flew over the General’s Mansion when the original host was born…
Although Mo Jiuli didn’t know what the token was, she was sure it was related to her marriage contract.
So, when the Crown Prince readily agreed to nullify the marriage contract, she clearly saw a trace of cunning in his eyes…
She guessed then that the Crown Prince must know how to dissolve the marriage contract, which was why he had promised her so confidently!
Therefore, she had to take matters into her own hands and dissolve the marriage contract!
As expected, after the dissolution of the marriage contract, she felt a slight sense of restraint vanish from her body…
However, she didn’t want to tell anyone more about it until she had thoroughly figured out the matter concerning the token…
“Brother Luoxi, how could you agree to marry someone else as Princess Consort?
How could you do this to me?” Suddenly, Mo Jiuqi raised her voice and asked incredulously.
