C10 Delusion

Although the imperial edict was given to Faang Xinsu, since it was being issued at the Marquis Mansion, then naturally, the mistresses of the Marquis Mansion had to go receive it together.

When Mrs. Han was ready to go, she saw that Qingliu had already tidied up the clothes for Shen Tianli. The others were still flustered.

She coughed lightly, "Alright, it's about time. Let's go out and receive the decree first, don't let the eunuchs wait too long."

Thus, everyone hurried to the front yard. The young masters were already waiting, and a incense table and other things were already laid out in the front yard. Everyone kneeled on the cushions in succession. Eunuch Xu saw that everyone was here to deliver the decree, so he opened the imperial edict and read it. "I am under the blessing of the Heavens. The imperial edict …"

In any case, the gist of it was that Faang Xinsu and her sister's father had been killed in the line of duty. How pitiful it was for him to die so early on, and how pitiful the Emperor was! When they heard that he still had a son and a daughter, Faang Xinjian was given the title of Cloud Knight Lieutenant and Faang Xinsu was given the title of Le An County Prefect. Each reward was a hundred gold taels for a few.

After the decree was given, Mrs. Han, as the mistress of the house, naturally invited Eunuch Xu to stay and drink some tea. Eunuch Xu smiled, "Mrs. Marquis is too polite. On the contrary, the empress dowager would like to meet Le An and County Prefect. Tomorrow morning, you can bring County Prefect directly to the palace.

It was already rather strange for the emperor to suddenly bestow titles on his two children. Now that the empress dowager wanted to see Xinsu again, Mrs. Han's heart was filled with doubts. However, she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "Rest assured, eunuch. Tomorrow, I will definitely bring County Prefect along."

Eunuch Xu turned around and left. The head steward of the Han Residence sent his men out with a smile. Naturally, he wanted some silver taels for the tea.

Seeing that everyone in the palace had left, everyone walked up to the Fang family's siblings to congratulate them.

Shen Cang saw that Faang Xinsu was even more elegant in her best attire, so he was anxious to get a hold of her. He turned his head and saw his sister standing next to Faang Xinsu. She seemed to be able to speak very well. His thoughts changed as he walked over and pulled Shen Lian to a quiet corner.

Shen Lian angrily threw Shen Cang's hand away, "Brother, what are you doing? Even my clothes were ripped apart, this is the Ji Xinyi that the Embroidered Uniform Pavilion just sent, I only had it on myself today. "

Shen Cang tried to curry favor with her, saying, "Good little sister, don't be angry. When big brother gets rich, I'll buy you ten or eight sets at a time, but you can wear one. "

Shen Lian obviously did not believe his words. "Buying ten sets in one go? Brother, do you know how expensive the clothes in the Embroidery Pavilion are? The clothes I'm wearing are only medium grade, so each set costs over 30 taels of silver. One set is enough to cover three months of your money, what are you going to buy for me? "

Shen Cang rubbed his hands: "I don't have any money right now, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely have it in the future."

Shen Lian looked at him doubtfully. "How do you want me to help you?"

After confirming that no one else was around, Shen Cang whispered a few words into Shen Lian's ear. He had thought that Shen Lian would give her all to help him once she had listened to his plan. Shen Lian looked at him as if she was looking at a fool, "Brother, you couldn't have lost your mind, right? Even if her cousin wasn't given the title of County Prefect, she was still a direct descendant of a third rank official. Her dowry was generous and her looks were both handsome and talented. How could a bastard like you miss her? "Forget about Madam, if Father comes back and finds out about your plans, he might not spare you.

Shen Cang said angrily, "You little girl? Who should he kiss? What happened to County Prefect? As long as she loses her reputation and doesn't marry me, can she still go and be a sister-in-law? Think about it, if she really marries me, don't even mention bringing along a large amount of dowry, wouldn't Marquis Mansion's Noble Heir's position be mine? "You'll be Noble Heir's sister then, and I'll definitely help you get a husband for you."

Hearing that Shen Cang was getting more and more outrageous, Shen Lian said coldly, "I advise you not to daydream. Cousin Fang is not as gullible as you think. Even your wife is not someone you can fool. Go back and think about it. " With that, he turned and left.

Seeing how ruthless Shen Lian was, Shen Cang stomped his feet in anger. "Damn brat! Wait until I'm rich! If you have the ability, don't beg me!"

The more Shen Lian thought about it, the more she was worried. Shen Cang was a fool. He always had a fearless personality, plus he had a poor birth mother, the White Aunt. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still any longer. She got the maidservant to bring two bags of snacks with her to Aunt Bai's residence. She was also very happy to see her daughter here. "Aiyo, I just heard from the maidservant that both Cousin and her young cousin were knighted. Tsk tsk, Cousin is the eldest daughter of a deceased mother, so the marriage was originally a bit difficult. Now that he had County Prefect's letter, the marriage in the future was no longer a concern. If your brother can marry her, that's for the best. "

Shen Lian nearly spat out the tea that she had swallowed to her throat. As expected of a mother and son, both of them had the same wishful thinking.

Unlike Aunt Bai and Shen Cang who were inexperienced, Shen Lian, who was educated by the system as a lady, didn't believe Shen Cang's plan that was full of loopholes.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian couldn't help but admire Mrs. Han. Although Mrs. Han disliked her because of her aunt Bai, she had never been stingy with her examples and opportunities. From poetry to etiquette, she was the same as Shen Tian and Shen Xiang. She had always been grateful for this.

Because she knew etiquette, she knew shame. However, her mother and brother were already in this state. She had tried to persuade them many times, but they were to no avail.

Aunt Bai kept nagging again, telling Shen Lian to take advantage of the steward's time to get more oil and water. Shen Lian could no longer bear to listen. She stood up and said, "I still have to pay my respects to the madame, so I'll be leaving first. Aunt will take good care of herself."

After that, he brought the servant girl out. When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she said to the little girl who had come to send them off, "You are a reliable person, and your thoughts are clear. "Aunt is an old woman after all, and can't help but be a little confused at times. You should advise her a little more often."

Matsumoto said awkwardly, "Miss must be joking, who is this servant? How could Aunt listen to this servant's words? "

Shen Lian smiled. "There's still me for everything. If there's anything wrong with Aunt and you can't stop me, you must come and find me." Even if I can't, there's still the Lady. Otherwise, if she were to accidentally cause some great trouble, you, as her personal servant, would be the one to bear the brunt of it. "

Pine Branch slightly trembled. "Yes, your servant understands." Watching Shen Lian slowly disappear into the distance, Songzhi felt that the three girls had changed. They were now clearly different from before. His words and actions were quite thorough, and finally, his side of concubine Bai's heart was filled with people who understood what was going on.

She had just let out a sigh of relief when she saw Eldest Young Master Shen Cang walk over.

After Shen Cang arrived, he chased the servant girls out and whispered with Aunt Bai for a long time. As soon as he thought of the third lady's reminder, he listened attentively. As soon as he heard it, his face turned pale with fright.
