Chapter 877: Li in a Trance

Li was completely stunned, staring at the scene in front of her with wide eyes in disbelief.

However, the courtyard was full of people kneeling at this moment, and Li and Lanhua standing at the door seemed very abrupt.

The two of them looked panicked. Although they didn't know Xiang Weinan, they knew Hu Li. When they saw them frowning and looking over, they subconsciously softened their legs and knelt on the ground.

Xiang Weinan then unfolded the imperial edict and began to read out, "The Emperor of Heaven has decreed that Lu Shuyu of Dong'an Prefecture... pardons his crimes... It is a great righteousness... and I will grant you the title of Lord of the Township..."

Everyone's heads were buzzing, as if they understood but also didn't understand.

After a while, Xiang Weinan finished reading, and Shu Yu stretched out his hand to receive the order again, "Lu Shuyu accepted the order and thanked the emperor for long live the emperor."

Other Lu family members also shouted long live, and the villagers subconsciously followed suit.

Xiang Weinan handed the imperial edict to Shu Yu, who stood up.

Except for the people in the big house, the rest of the Lu family had long been mentally prepared, and now they also stood up one after another.

But the other villagers in Shangshi Village all had their eyes widened, and they still knelt on the ground motionless, as if they were in trance.

It was Lu Erbai who stepped forward and helped Fan Zhong up first, "Village Chief, get up first."

Fan Zhong didn't even dare to take a breath. He turned his head and looked at Lu Erbai in a daze and asked, "I, I didn't hear it just now. Did I hear it wrong? What does it mean in the imperial edict?"

"It means that my Ayu made something that benefited the people and the country, and handed it over to the local government in the place of exile. The government then presented it to the emperor. The emperor graciously pardoned our Ayu and returned to his hometown, and also conferred the title of It’s the country king.”

"Hiss..." Fan Zhong gasped.

The villagers standing up one after another beside them did not understand the content of the imperial edict at first. After Lu Erbai explained it, everyone turned to look at Shu Yu in shock.

This, this girl, actually became, became the village king? ? ?

Oh my God, this is so awesome! !

The small courtyard, which was so quiet just now that you could hear a pin drop on the ground, was now buzzing with the villagers' comments and exclamations.

After spreading out layer by layer, it soon reached the ears of Mr. Li who was still at the entrance of the courtyard.

Li's whole body shook. She suspected that she heard wrongly, and couldn't help but look at her daughter next to her, "Lanhua, did you hear that? Did you understand the imperial edict?"

"I understand." Lanhua was also confused, but in fact, she understood the meaning of the imperial edict even without the villagers' message.

Her eyes shone slightly and she took a deep breath, "Mother, mother, Sister Ayu is the queen of the village!!"

Lan Hua's voice was so excited that all the villagers nearby looked over, and then they realized that the person from the big house was nearby.

For a moment, someone looked at them sourly and said, "From the Dasong family, your Lu family can be considered a proud ancestor."

"No, Xiang Jun is the girl with the highest status in our Jiangyuan County, right?"

"Speaking of which, wasn't Lan Hua's engagement broken off not long ago? If the Ge family knew about it, wouldn't they regret it to death?"

One aunt even said to them with a smile, "Let me tell you, it's a good idea to call off the marriage. Lanhua, now that your sister has become the country king, your sister has also become better with the tide. If you talk about getting married now, then My future husband's family will definitely be better than the Ge family, you call it a blessing in disguise."
