Soon, the government officials walked into the front hall, and under the watchful eyes of all the servants of the Shen family, they picked up several boxes and walked out of the Shen family.
The people on the long street didn't know what was going on and started talking: "What is this?"
"Everything has been moved out...Is Miss Shen San going to break up with the Shen family?"
"Miss Third, you are now the head of Anping County!"
"The Shen family is so lucky. They were deprived of the title on the front foot, and then they had a granddaughter on the back who was made the county head. After all this time, the title came back?"
"How can this be the same? In the past, the Marquis of Nanyang was a hereditary title of the highest rank, passed down from male to female, but now the county head is only the third lady, and has nothing to do with the rest of the Shen family. After all, the Shen family has suffered a huge loss. !”
"The Shen family made a big mistake and they should have to bear the consequences. Your Majesty's seizing the title is a punishment for the Shen family, and it has nothing to do with the third lady's title."
"Did you just hear the imperial edict? The third lady was granted the title of County Lord because of her merits in rescuing the emperor. What a great skill!"
"Hey, why doesn't my child have this ability..."
"..."
Various discussions arose one after another.
Some are envious, some are surprised, some are jealous, and some are free to discuss it.
It wasn't until ten government officials left carrying the wooden box and the housekeeper of Shen Mansion closed the door with a blue face that everyone gradually dispersed with lingering thoughts.
It is conceivable that it won't be long before the news about the Shen family receiving two imperial edicts will spread throughout the capital, and the name of the new Anping County Lord will spread throughout the court, creating a lot of fresh talk in the streets.
And at this time.
In the front yard of Shen's mansion, the atmosphere was tense.
The old Marquis' face was terrifyingly gloomy, his lips were blue, and he stared at Xiao Lingyue.
The housekeeper hurriedly dismissed the servants: "You all should leave, hurry up, leave!"
Even several aunts and the concubine's fourth and fifth ladies were driven away. Only the old marquis, Xiao Lingyue's mother and son, Shen Zhijiang and the housekeeper were left in the front yard.
The old Marquis asked sternly: "Shen Wan, what on earth is going on?"
Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "What are you referring to?"
"How come you were granted the title of County Lord by His Majesty? Did you really save His 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's cheek suddenly twitched, his eyes were as gloomy as knives, and he said sternly: "Since you saved His Majesty and made great achievements, why don't you plead with His Majesty to keep the title of the Shen family?"
Only then did Shen Zhijiang realize this and almost jumped up: "That's right!"
Since "Shen Wan" saved His Majesty, he has such a great contribution.
Your Majesty always makes clear rewards and punishments.
As long as she is willing to plead for mercy, His Majesty will definitely be lenient, and maybe he will not deprive the Shen family of their title.
Shen Zhijiang was about to get excited when he suddenly saw the imperial edict in Xiao Lingyue's hand. He was filled with surprise as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and his face froze.
Only then did he realize that since the Shen family had been ordered to seize the title, it proved that "Shen Wan" had not asked His Majesty for mercy at all.
She is so selfish!
With such great achievements, I asked His Majesty for the title of County Lord, but he refused to save the Shen family!
"You heartless beast!" Shen Zhijiang suddenly turned red with hatred, pointed at Xiao Lingyue and yelled, "Why are you so selfish and vicious? Do you have to force the Shen family to death?!"
