Xiao Lingyue said lightly: "Maybe I'm recalling the past, maybe I'm regretting it."
Beibei didn't understand: "What do you regret?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "I regret not educating my children and grandchildren well, ruining the family fortune of my ancestors, and having no face to face my ancestors."
Xiao Lingyue didn't sympathize with the old marquis in her heart.
Because there must be something hateful about poor people.
The Shen family has fallen into this situation. The culprit is Shen Yuting, and the accomplices are Shen Zhijiang and Mr. Hou.
Without their pampering since childhood, Shen Yuting would not have had the courage to cause a big disaster. In the end, not only did she suffer misfortune, she also brought misfortune to the entire family.
When the old Marquis was indulging Shen Zhijiang and his daughter, he should have thought of this day.
What's the use of regret?
Beibei suddenly realized: "Oh..."
The old Marquis, who was immersed in grief and regret: "..." His face suddenly twisted.
Official from the Ministry of Rites: "Ahem!"
After coughing twice, the official from the Ministry of Rites said: "Master Shen, it's getting late. I..."
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a rapid sound of horse hooves.
"The imperial edict arrives——"
Everyone on the street was shocked.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the eunuch who announced the decree were also shocked: "Why is there still an imperial edict?"
Hurry up and send the message, and the imperial guard of honor will arrive soon.
The two of them did not dare to delay, so they hurried out of the mansion and stood on the long street waiting.
The crowds on both sides of the long street gave way, leaving a straight avenue. Everyone stretched their necks and whispered in low voices.
"What day is it today? Two imperial edicts came in a row?"
"Isn't it for the Shen family again?"
"Mr. Shen is also unlucky. His descendants are unfilial and have brought trouble to the family. Now he has even lost his title. I heard that his trouble-making granddaughter has been imprisoned and is waiting to be executed!"
"I don't know whether this imperial edict is a blessing or a curse..."
The Imperial Guard team escorting the imperial edict appeared at the entrance of the long street and trotted over quickly.
Everyone's discussion suddenly disappeared, and they all lowered their heads and held their breath.
Soon, another eunuch carrying the imperial edict came over on horseback, stopped steadily at the door of Shen Mansion, and shouted: "Shen Mansion accepts the edict!"
Everyone's heart was tight.
Sure enough, it is another decree for the Shen family!
These two imperial edicts were issued one after another. Could it be that His Majesty has changed his mind and no longer intends to seize the title?
Not only outsiders think so, but even the Shen family members think so, because apart from that, they can't think of other possibilities.
"Old man, come to the mansion quickly to receive the order." The butler said with excitement and excitement.
"Okay, hurry in..." The old Marquis was at a loss, but he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. He thought that the Shen family had been loyal and good for generations and had made great contributions to the court, and His Majesty was still thinking about old friendships.
Maybe the seizure of the title was just a moment of anger. Your Majesty calmed down and felt that the punishment was too severe, so he planned to withdraw his decree and reinstate the title to the Shen family?
The old Marquis suddenly didn't care about the plaque, and hurriedly held the housekeeper's hand to enter the house, and knelt down in his original position in the front yard.
Everyone in the Shen Mansion quickly knelt on the ground again.
Xiao Lingyue frowned slightly.
When the imperial edict came in, she couldn't go out anymore, so she could only lead Beibei back to the front yard.
The eunuch dismounted with the imperial edict.
The official from the Ministry of Rites raised his hand and said with surprise: "Eunuch Li, why are you here in person?"
This is one of the people who serves in His Majesty's study. His status is second only to Eunuch Su, and he is the real steward of the inner palace.
The status is extraordinary. This chapter has been completed!
