She Holds the World After Being Reborn

In the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, the legitimate young miss, known for her icy demeanor, had transformed overnight. She, who usually regarded no one, woke up to confront anyone she saw with a few harsh words, using her frail body to intimidate so much that no one dared to touch her. Afterwards, this legitimate young miss began taking on retainers, nurturing powerful officials, engaging in commerce, and recruiting troops… Every act so shocking and audacious, it defied the norms and provoked fear in all who spoke of her! Yan Wanqing was seen as an enchantress and a disaster by the people, a thorn in the flesh and a nail in the eye that the ministers wanted desperately removed, an entity everyone shunned as if she were a venomous snake. Only the Crown Prince Mingyue, descending from the divine altar, in the dark, godless alleys, grasped her neck and repeatedly asked her, "Will you marry me or not?"

Chapter 66: If you can't do it, then feed the snakes in the Snake Den

A palace attendant clad in a vermillion robe straddled a horse, holding aloft a bright yellow scroll as he rode toward the Township Manor, followed by two rows of palace attendants sprinting in his wake.

Yan Wanqing and Huai Yu exchanged a glance, "An Imperial Decree!"

The two of them stood up and left the private room, descending the stairs, leaving Sun Wenxing standing there, utterly bewildered as he called out to Yan Wanqing's retreating figure, "Cousin, cousin, where are you going?!"

He watched as the two boarded their carriage and grew anxious; he quickly ordered his servant to fetch his horse. The chance to see his beautiful cousin, a rarity only occurring once every three years, compelled him to feast his eyes on her a while longer.

The carriage came to a steady halt at the entrance of the Township Manor shortly after the arrival of the palace attendants, merely the time it takes to enjoy a cup of tea.
