Chapter 877: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 877: Bewildered Li Shi
Li Shi was completely dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before her.
However, with everyone kneeling in the courtyard, Li Shi and Lan Hua standing at the entrance looked out of place.
Both of them panicked, although they didn't know Xiang Weinan, they knew Hu Li. Seeing him frowning and looking over, they instinctively felt their legs go weak and knelt down on the ground as well.
Xiang Weinan then unfolded the imperial edict and began to read, "By the grace of the Emperor, the imperial edict states, ''Lu Shu Yu of Dong'an Prefecture... is pardoned for her crimes... her great righteousness is commendable... and she is bestowed the title of village Lord...''
The heads of the crowd were buzzing, as if they understood and didn't understand at the same time.
After a while, Xiang Weinan finished reading, and Shu Yu reached out to receive the edict, saying, "Lu Shu Yu receives the imperial edict and thanks His Majesty for his eternal reign."
The rest of the Lu family followed by shouting "Long live His Majesty," and the villagers instinctively joined in.
Xiang Weinan handed the imperial edict to Shu Yu, and she stood up.
Except for the people from the first branch, the other members of the Lu family had already mentally prepared themselves, so they began to stand up one by one.
However, the other villagers of Shishi Village remained kneeling on the ground, motionless, as if in a trance.
It was Lu Erbai who went forward and helped Fan Zhongzheng up first. "Village Chief, you can get up now."
Fan Zhongzheng couldn't even catch his breath. He turned his head and asked Lu Er Bai in a daze, "Did I... did I mishear just now? What does the imperial edict mean?"
"It means that our Ah Yu here has done something beneficial to the people and the country, handed it over to the local authorities in the place of exile, and the authorities presented it to the emperor. The emperor, out of grace, specifically pardoned Ah Yu and allowed her to return to her hometown, bestowing her with the title of village Lord."
Fan Zhongzheng gasped for air.
The other villagers, who had gradually stood up, didn't quite understand the contents of the imperial edict. But after Lu Erbai explained it, they turned their heads in shock and looked at Shu Yu.
This... this girl, she has become... a village Lord??
Oh my God, this is too amazing!!
The small courtyard that had been so quiet that you could hear a pin drop was now buzzing with the astonished and amazed voices of the villagers.
As the discussions spread, they quickly reached Li Shi's ears, who was still at the courtyard entrance.
Li Shi swayed her entire body, doubting whether she had misheard. She couldn't help but look at her daughter next to her. "Lan Hua, did you hear that? Did you understand the imperial edict?"
"I understood," Lan Hua was also in a daze, but even without the villagers spreading the news, she understood the meaning of the imperial edict.
Her eyes sparkled, and she took a deep breath. "Mother, mother, sister Ah Yu is a village Lord now!!"
Lan Hua's voice was filled with excitement, attracting the attention of the villagers nearby. They suddenly realized that the people from the first branch were right there.
For a moment, someone looked sourly at them. "The Lu family, you've finally brought glory to your ancestors."
"That's right, our village Lord is the highest-ranking lady in Jiangyuan County, isn't she?"
"Speaking of which, didn't Lan Hua just have her engagement called off not long ago? If the Ge family finds out, they will surely regret it."
One aunt even smiled and said to them, "If you ask me, it's good that the engagement was called off. Lan Hua, now that your sister has become a Township Lord, you, as her younger sister, will also rise with the tide. If you talk about marriage now, the future husband's family will definitely be better than the Ge family. This is what they call turning misfortune into blessing."
