Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 105: Marriage Degree



Chapter 105: Marriage Degree

"Master! The Royal Eunuch is here!" a servant reported to Gao Qi who was currently speaking with Gao Shen, Wang Li and Fa Li regarding that day's events and the reason why the disciple of the Bai Hu Sect decided to stay on the Gao Manor instead of receiving the Royalties hospitality that Immortal Domain visitors like them should receive.

Surprised by his sudden visitors, Gao Qi abruptly stood up, "The Royal Eunuch? Why?" He asked full of confusion.

The servant shook his head as he himself did not have any idea on what was going on. So he blurted out instead, "They have a lot of things with them, master! Hurry!" 

After hearing this, Gao Qi hurriedly went to the front gate to welcome Eunuch Chu who was now with Xi Ma and Lao Chen as representatives of the Wei Palace.

With a bow, "Royal Eunuch Chu, we welcome you to our humble abode." Gao Qi bowed with Gao Shen and Li Mao, "What seems to be the problem?" he said, eyeing the chest that looked strangely familiar.

"Minster Gao, please accept the Emperor's royal decree with your daughter." Eunuch Chu said while his face is stoic with any expression. Possible enduring the command as he is not in agreement with it.

The suspicion that Gao Lan Mei cast a love spell to Prince Wei was still possible. There was no way their aloof prince would suddenly want to marry a waste.

Nevertheless, the decree was solid and must be carried.

Eunuch Chu glanced at Xi Ma, trying to read his expression. Being the closest aide to Wei Jiayi, he could get a little explanation.

He could only hope though as Xi Ma was also not aware of his master's plan. The only sure thing was that they could never bend the command, else the punishment would be too severe.

After hearing that the decree needed to be accepted by Gao Lan Mei as well, Gao Qi was nervous. Judging by the number of chest its a marriage decree. Who among the royal family would consider despite his daughter's reputation?

"What are you waiting for? Where is Miss Gao? The marriage decree by the Emperor to the Wei Palace and Gao family cannot wait!" Eunuch Chu exclaimed.

Shocked, "Wei Palace?" but Prince Wei just visited earlier and the interaction his daughter was not good, "Might there be a mistake?" Gao Qi asked skeptically. He also glanced at the Xi Ma and Lao Chen duo who he was familiar with.

Xi Ma only smiled apologetically and Lao Chen did not even notice Gao Qi's stare and just stood up like a statue next to his companion.

"Minister Gao! Are you insulting me?" Eunuch Chu exclaimed indignant, feeling offended. He had been the Royal Head Eunuch for more than forty years and errors during his watch were non-existent.

"Forgive me Eunuch Chu! I did not mean it that way," Gao Qi frantically responded. Every time his daughter was involved, it seemed like he was losing all decorum due to the surprises that she kept on bringing to their gates. "Quickly get Gao Lan Mei over here!" he instructed one servant who ran to her courtyard.

It did not take long, servant got back to report to his master, face so pale. After bringing the news to Gao Qi who also paled, then grabbed the white pouch handed over by the servant.

In the pouch, a black snake stay, its tiny head went out of the pouch. Gao Qi recognized the little black snake. This was exactly the one that got swallowed by the assassins by force.
