Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Jiang Yeqian was still sitting beside the Qinglong River. As the sun began to rise, Zhao Xin was just about to remind him to go to court when he suddenly recalled that his Excellency had already resigned. He held his tongue and continued to stand and wait behind Jiang Yeqian.

Before long, a familiar whistling sound came. Zhao Xin frowned and went off somewhere. Bai Mei relayed an important report to him and Zhao Xian frowned deeper when he heard it.

He hurriedly returned to report to Jiang Yeqian.

“Your Excellency, an important report has just arrived. Two imperial edicts had been simultaneously sent to the State Preceptor’s residence and the Lu Residence.

“Get to the point.” Jiang Yeqian looked at the river, bored.

Zhao Xin did not dare look at his Excellency’s face when he spoke. “The two imperial edicts are reportedly marriage bestowments.”

Jiang Yeqian, “…” Marriage bestowments? The State Preceptor’s residence and the Lu Residence? Could Li Ruoxuan have been bestowed with marriage?

Zhao Xin gulped and added, “The marriage partners are Qi Qingyao and Lu Yan. Lu Yan has already arrived at the State Preceptor’s residence now.”

In a split second, Jiang Yeqian got up to his feet. There was a huge, abrupt change in his expression. “A marriage bestowment???? Between her, and him??”

“…”

Zhao Xin looked down and did not say a word.

Having not rested for the past 12 hours because things have thrown his emotions into turmoil, Jiang Yeqian’s complexion became even uglier when he heard this news. He got up, his entire body swaying slightly as he said, “I, I need to pay a visit to the State Preceptor’s residence immediately.”

“Your Excellency, please calm down!” Zhao Xin went up to support Jiang Yeqian who was unable to walk properly. “Don’t be anxious.”

“How can I not be? If I don’t get a move on, the woman will be betrothed to Lu Yan by the little empress.” Jiang Yeqian’s complexion was as black as the bottom of the pot.

Had the little empress received word of him crashing the State Preceptor’s residence last night and gone mad again?

Was that why she immediately betrothed Qi Qingyao to Lu Yan?

“Your Excellency! Calm down!”

Zhao Xin helplessly said, “Although I cannot understand why you like Lady Qi, I will still naturally support whatever you decide. But you need to know right now that the marriage bestowments have already been handed down. Milk has been spilled, they cannot go against it.”

Everyone knew that refusal of an imperial edict led to the guillotine.

Jiang Yeqian fell silent for a moment. “Damn it!”

…

Qi Qingyao was looking at Lu Yan as she said, “I will tell you my plans, tell me what you think.”

“I…”

Lu Yan opened his mouth slightly, his expression a little embarrassed as he said in a low voice, “We don’t actually have to get a divorce.”

Qi Qingyao froze for a second before she blinked her eyes and said, “Big brother, are you pulling my leg?”

She went up to him and grabbed his arm. Eyes wide, she said particularly seriously, “You’d have to spend the rest of your life with me if we don’t get a divorce.”

Lu Yan took in her nervous form as she grabbed his arm. He did not shy away but tried hard to endure this kind of human behavior. There was a trace of a smile on the corners of his lips. “I know.”

Hearing this, Qi Qingyao broke down. “You have never even been married before and this is a marriage bestowment from the empress. I would become your lawfully wedded wife when the time comes, big brother.”

Lu Yan asked with a smile, “Is there a problem with that?”

“Isn’t there a problem with this?”

Qi Qingyao stood up, wiping the sweat off her forehead. Not comprehending, she said, “Your family is the wealthiest in Northern Liang! To take a widow with three children as your lawfully wedded wife, your Lu family will no doubt become the laughing stock of the prestigious nobles of the entire Capital City. Do you understand this?”

“I do,” said Lu Yan.

“How are you this calm then? Is there really no problem with this?” What was he thinking?

Smiling faintly, Lu Yan said, “Everyone in the Lu family was very happy when we received the imperial edict. No one finds it disgraceful. Instead, they were honored.”

The white cat in his arms purred. It opened its eyes and glanced at the man carrying it. It did not understand how this man—who was usually so smart when it came to business—could be this slow when it came to this! Could he not speak a bit more clearly?

To the white cat, however, Qi QIngyao and Lu Yan getting married was a good thing because it rather liked Si Jin. If their marriage came to pass, he could play with Si Jin every day.

It was likely that the boy had lost too much spiritual energy and was unable to maintain his human form. So he must be hiding, swimming in the Jiuli River to cultivate. Who knew when he could come out again?

Stunned for half a beat, Qi Qingyao said, “F*ck, your family aren’t sick in the head, are they?”

Lu Yan said with a smile, “We were very close in Qingzhou City, you’re my physician, after all. My family more or less knows about you, so they feel very happy about this. As for the children, my family doesn’t mind. They have even got together to prepare a courtyard for the children.”

Qi Qingyao, “…”

What was going on?!

Why did it seem like not only was he happy, but also his entire family?

Qi Qingyao was stumped.
