I saw everyone in the Shen family looked dull, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
The eunuch who announced the decree frowned slightly and said again: "The Shen Mansion accepts the decree!"
The old marquis resisted the pain in his chest and raised his hands tremblingly: "Old minister Shen Wu, accept the order and thank your majesty for your kindness!"
The imperial edict fell into his hands, and the old Marquis held it tightly with both hands, with ferocious veins popping up on the back of his hands. He bent down and kowtowed, and did not straighten up for a long time.
The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "Old Marquis, since the Shen Mansion has been deprived of its title, according to the rules, the plaque of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion must also be removed, and the door head must be renovated. The ceremonial system of the Marquis Mansion can no longer be used. Please ask the old Marquis I will complete the renovation within three days, so don’t embarrass your subordinates."
"Yes..." The fishy smell in Old Marquis's mouth became even stronger, and his body was shaking so much that he could hardly stand upright.
No more plaques, no more doors.
It means that His Majesty is determined to win the title.
Even if the old Marquis retains his title in view of his past achievements, His Majesty does not intend to let the Shen family call themselves the Marquis Mansion anymore.
from now on.
There is no Nanyang Marquis Mansion in the capital.
There is only a small sixth-grade official residence, and the glory and dignity of the past are gone forever.
When the old Marquis thought of this, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the clothes on his chest.
"No... this is impossible. How could His Majesty make such a decree!" Aunt Hua came back to her senses at this moment and raised her head in panic, "Did you make a mistake?"
The official of the Ministry of Rites frowned and said nothing.
The eunuch who announced the decree said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you question His Majesty's will?"
The old Marquis covered his chest with his hands, suppressing his angina and roared: "Bitch, what are you talking about? Shut up!"
Aunt Hua didn't care about anything else. She crawled on her knees for two steps and looked at the eunuch who announced the decree imploringly: "Father-in-law, that's not what I meant. I... I just want to ask you if you made a mistake?
The Shen family has been a marquis residence for hundreds of years!
How could His Majesty suddenly want to seize the title? And my daughter, Yuting, isn't she with His Highness Prince Xiang?
How could she get into trouble? How could she be thrown into a prison and executed?
She is obviously fine!
You must have made a mistake...?"
Aunt Hua couldn't believe the facts before her. Just a quarter of an hour ago, she had imagined that the imperial edict was here to confer marriage, and that her daughter Shen Yuting was going to marry Prince Xiang and become the princess.
However, a quarter of an hour later, this was the result...
How does Aunt Hua accept this?
The feeling of falling from heaven to hell almost caused Aunt Hua's mentality to collapse, and her stomach also felt a faint pain.
She couldn't care anymore at the moment, all she could think about was: If the Shen family's title was gone, Yu Ting would be gone too, and the master would be demoted to a sixth-grade official.
Even if she keeps her belly, what's the use?
The official of the Ministry of Etiquette looked at her in surprise: "You don't know anything?"
Aunt Hua said in a panic: "I...my master told me that Yuting is with Prince Xiang and will be back in a few days...the master will not lie to me!"
She was almost incoherent. She instinctively looked at Shen Zhijiang and tugged at his clothes: "Master, tell me quickly, did you tell me this yesterday?"
Shen Zhijiang was forced back to his senses by her, and when he saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites' clear and disdainful eyes, his face suddenly turned red.
He bowed his head like an ostrich and let Aunt Hua scream and question her without saying a word.
The old Marquis was so angry that his face turned purple, and he seemed to be out of breath, clutching his chest and trembling.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites saw that Aunt Hua was pitiful, so they kindly told her: "Your daughter Shen Yuting caused a big disaster in Xiangguo Temple, almost destroyed the late queen's spiritual throne, and made His Majesty furious. Now she has been imprisoned in the sky prison. Your Majesty is very angry."
Master Shen was also implicated in seizing the title."
Aunt Hua suddenly collapsed on the ground: "How is it possible..." This chapter has been completed!
