Chapter 354 Personally Delivering the Imperial Decree

Su Zui was overjoyed. Yao Yao finally had a good identity, and no one would say that she was a divorced woman anymore.

Su Zui took the imperial edict and went to announce it in person, as he wanted to witness such a good thing with her. (Chapter 354)

It's already March in the blink of an eye.

Tongxiang County survived a cold winter peacefully, thanks to Lu Yaoyao's food supplies; no one in Tongxiang County died of starvation during the winter.

As the snow melted, the displaced people took their allotted food and returned home.

They also had some special grain seeds, which Lu Yaoyao had distributed to them.

In the hearts of the people of Tongxiang County, Lu Yaoyao is a goddess sent by heaven. She carefully nurtures all the grain seeds she gives them, and they are just waiting for it to get warmer so they can be planted.

They believe that with the blessing of a goddess, they will surely have a bumper harvest this year.

Feeling the power of the Heavenly Dao constantly flowing into her body, Lu Yaoyao was in a good mood.

Lu Yaoyao was unaware that the imperial edict was already on its way; instead, someone had come looking for her first.

"Who are you?" Lu Yaoyao asked casually.

Today she was dressed in a red fox fur dress, her hair styled in a bun, and a white jade hairpin with a jingling sound was sparkling. The satin skirt that cinched her waist showed off her good figure.

Although her figure is a bit round and plump, it is just right. An inch more would be too fat, and an inch less would be too thin. The light gauze outer garment hugs her body, which adds a touch of charm and elegance.

Her every gesture exudes elegance and ease, making her seem unapproachable.

The newcomer was stunned for a moment. Was this the woman who had been abandoned?
Granny Cao snapped out of her daze and gave a perfunctory curtsy, "This old servant greets the young lady."

Lu Yaoyao took a sip of tea and casually placed the teacup on the small table. "Young Miss? Which family's young lady?"

Granny Cao arrogantly raised her chin, "You are the eldest young lady, you are the eldest young lady of the Jiang State Duke's Mansion. This old servant has come to take the eldest young lady back."

"The Duke said that no matter what, you are still a young lady of the Duke's mansion. Being divorced would damage your reputation and might implicate the other young ladies in the mansion. As long as you go back to the mansion and don't embarrass yourself by going out, and act as an obedient servant, and tell others that you are a relative from the countryside who came to the Duke's mansion, it won't be considered a disgrace to the Duke's mansion."

"The Duke has been searching for you all these years. Now that he has found you, please come back with this old servant."

Looking at Lu Yaoyao's flawless face, Granny Cao felt a surge of resentment, unsure how to vent it.

This face clearly belongs to Miss Ruyan; Miss Ruyan is the eldest daughter of the entire Duke's mansion.

If it weren't for the problem with the young lady's face, the Duke and his wife wouldn't have come to take her back!
Lu Yaoyao calmly scraped the tea leaves with the tea lid. "You must have made a mistake. I'm not some nobody young lady from the Jiang family. My father's surname is Lu, which has nothing to do with the Jiang family."

"Besides, you said they've been looking for me all these years, thirty years and they've finally found me. Your Duke's Mansion is a joke, isn't it?"

"Go back and tell those people not to bother me. Xia Ku, see them out!"

Granny Cao never expected that a country girl could speak so boldly, unafraid even upon hearing the name of the Duke's mansion.

Feeling humiliated, Granny Cao's face darkened. "Young Miss, I don't care what you think, you have no choice but to come back with me today! Someone, take the Young Miss to the carriage!"

A country girl with no relatives and no power or influence; even if you killed her, no one would dare say a word.

Moreover, being so good-looking is a sin.

That face belongs to their young lady; this country woman is not worthy of it!
She dared to resist when we took her back; she's really overestimating herself!
Xia Ku didn't tolerate this old woman. Anyone who tried to grab Lu Yaoyao was kicked away by him.

"How dare you disrespect my master! You have a death wish!"

Now his legs are incredibly strong, making them perfect for kicking people.

Xia Ku grabbed Cao Mama's clothes again and kicked her away.

Granny Cao slammed into the servants, rolling around in a heap. Lu Yaoyao then slowly rose and stood at the doorway. "The Duke of Jiang's mansion wants me back, but that's not impossible! Let them come and invite me themselves. Get out!"

With a wave of her hand, Lu Yaoyao sent these people flying out of the courtyard.

Ouch! Ouch!
They were all smashed into the stinking ditch outside the door.

As soon as Su Zui arrived, he saw the flying figure in the courtyard.

He raised his handsome eyebrows. "Qiufeng, go and see what's going on. If you've offended Madam, deal with it immediately."

"It's the master!" Qiu Feng clicked his tongue, silently mourning for these people.

Who did they have to mess with?

To deliberately provoke the person your master cherishes most is tantamount to courting death.
Su Zui strode into the courtyard and saw the person he had been thinking about day and night standing there.

"Madam." Su Zui took two quick steps and reached out to pull her into his arms.

I buried my head in her neck, inhaling her unique fragrance, and felt completely relaxed.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yaoyao asked, somewhat surprised.

She had planned to go to the capital in a couple of days, but he came first.

Su Zui seemed boneless, leaning on her shoulder and muttering, "I miss you, Madam. I can't wait for you to go. I've come to pick you up to go to Kyoto together."

God knows how he got through those months, thinking about her every night and unable to sleep.

I wish I could sprout wings and fly here to see her.

Lu Yaoyao pushed him away, "What do I have to think about? I was planning to go to Kyoto to find you in a few days, but you came first? You didn't get a good rest on the way, did you? Go and rest for a while."

I pulled him into the room; I could tell he was exhausted from his journey.

Once inside the room, Su Zui pulled her into his arms and had her sit on his lap.

"I don't feel tired anymore when I see you, Madam. But what about those people?"

Those people just now flew straight out of the courtyard, which shows that the lady used a lot of force.

What if his wife gets tired?

Lu Yaoyao then told him the purpose of those people's visit.

After listening, Su Zui narrowed his eyes dangerously, "I investigated after I got back. The Duke of Jiang once had an elder brother, Jiang Beichen. His elder brother had made great military achievements, and the title of Duke should have been his. However, for some reason, he died on the battlefield after being wounded and did not have time to be rescued."

"Later, a woman returned from the border with a baby in her arms. She said that the baby was Jiang Beichen's only daughter. The woman and the baby stayed in the Duke's mansion. Somehow, she married the current Duke Jiang Wanlin. The woman is now the Duchess of Jiang. She and Jiang Wanlin had a son and a daughter. The daughter is Jiang Ruyan and the son is Jiang Jinrui."

"I suspect you are the daughter of Jiang Wanlin's elder brother, Jiang Beichen."

He was much younger than Lu Yaoyao; he wasn't even born when Jiang Beichen died.

After so many years, no matter how Jiang Beichen died, it has been very difficult to find any clues.

Thirty years have passed, and only a few people know Jiang Beichen's name. He used his connections to investigate and found that Lu Yaoyao was very likely Jiang Beichen's daughter.

That is, the baby girl that the current Duchess of Jiang brought back.

Unfortunately, he never found out who Yao Yao's mother was.
