Soon, the yamen runners walked into the front hall, and under the gaze of the Shen family's servants, they lifted up a few boxes and left the Shen family.
The people on the long street were confused and they started to talk: "What are you doing?"
"The things have been moved out... Is Miss Chen San going to break up with the Shen family?"
"What the third lady, now the lord of Anping County!"
"The Shen family is so lucky. The title was just taken away by the front foot, and another granddaughter was named the county lord. This time, the title actually came back?"
"How can this be the same? In the past, the Marquis of Nanyang was a super first-class hereditary title. He was passed down by men but not by women. Now the county lord is only with the third lady, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the Shen family. The Shen family has lost a lot. !”
"The Shen family made a big mistake and should have borne the consequences. His Majesty's takeover of the title is a punishment for the Shen family, and it has nothing to do with the title of the third lady."
"Did you just hear the imperial edict? The third lady was named the county lord because she was successful in saving the emperor. She has such a great skill!"
"Hey, why doesn't my child have the ability to do this..."
“…”
Various arguments were heard one after another.
Some are envious, some are surprised, some are jealous, and some are idle to discuss.
Until ten yamen runners left with wooden boxes, the housekeeper of Chen closed the door with a blue face, and the talented people gradually dispersed without any end.
It is conceivable that in no time, news about the Shen family receiving two imperial edicts will spread throughout the capital, the new Anping County Lord will spread throughout the court, and there will be a lot of fresh topics of talk on the streets and alleys.
And at this time.
In the front yard of Shen Mansion, the atmosphere was tense.
The old marquis's face was gloomy and terrible, his lips were blue and purple, and he stared at Xiao Lingyue.
The housekeeper hurriedly dispersed his servants: "You all leave, let's scatter quickly, let's scatter!"
Even the concubines, the fourth and fifth ladies, and others were driven away. Only the old marquis, Xiao Lingyue and his son, Shen Zhijiang and the housekeeper were left in the front yard.
The old marquis asked sternly: "Chen Wan, what's going on?"
Xiao Lingyue said lightly: "What are you referring to?"
"How could you be named the county lord by Your Majesty? You really saved Your Majesty at Xiangguo Temple?" The old marquis asked aggressively.
Shen Zhijiang also reacted and looked at her in disbelief.
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows: "So what? Does this have anything to do with the Shen family?"
The old marquis' cheeks twitched suddenly, his eyes were as gloomy as a knife, and he said sternly: "Since you have saved Your Majesty and made great contributions, why don't you plead with Your Majesty? Keep the title of the Shen family?"
Only then did Shen Zhijiang realize this and almost jumped up: "Yes!"
Since "Chen Wan" saved His Majesty, he has made such great contributions.
Your Majesty has always been clear in rewards and punishments.
As long as she is willing to plead, His Majesty will definitely make a fuss and may not deprive the Shen family of title.
Shen Zhijiang was about to be excited when he suddenly saw the imperial edict in Xiao Lingyue's hand, and his face froze as if he had been poured with a bucket of cold water.
Only then did he realize that since the Shen family had been ordered to seize the title, it proved that "Chen Wan" did not plead with His Majesty at all.
She is so selfish!
With such great contributions, he asked His Majesty for the title of county lord, but he refused to save the Shen family!
"You unconscience-free beast!" Shen Zhijiang's eyes were red with hatred and pointed at Xiao Lingyue and cursed, "Why are you so selfish and so vicious? Do you have to force the Shen family to death?!"
