Xu paused and stood in a daze beside the hanging flower gate.

Xie Anfeng, Xie Yu, Gu Ge Lao, Gu Chengyan and others, along with Old Madam Xie, walked out of the door and went to the front yard.

Hua Zisheng smiled and said, "Where is the old lady? Come and receive the decree."

He is the chief eunuch in the palace, of the same age as His Majesty, and is very good at dealing with people. Knowing that Miss Xie and Miss Xie were married into the Marquis's Mansion at the same time, they were both Madam Gu, so there was no ambiguity, so he addressed them as Madam Gu.

This way you will never make a mistake.

Everyone was stunned. Xie Zhaozhao?

Why did she accept the imperial edict for no reason?

Xie Yu immediately asked Ying Er to invite Xie Zhaozhao over.

Xie Zhaozhao came over and was also confused. Why was he giving her an imperial decree for no reason?

When she arrived, Hanako Katsu announced the decree with a smile.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Xie has done a great job in helping refugees and contributing to the stability of the capital. I am deeply moved by Xie's contributions. Her loyalty and diligence are a model for women and for the well-being of the people... I specially confer a title and reward on her to honor her virtue. I decree the title of First Rank. I decree this!"

Yipingaoming!

Xie Zhaozhao was very surprised. In fact, considering Gu Shaoyu's identity, if she had no obvious faults, Gu Shaoyu would sooner or later ask for a decree for her.

However, Emperor Hui's edict stated that she was awarded the first-rank imperial edict because of her contribution in resettling refugees.

It's not because of Lord Gu's status, but she earned it herself.

She was very touched.

He probably understood His Majesty's thoughts, praised her greatly, and asked all officials to keep an eye on her so that she would not raise troops and endanger the country.

She knelt upright, received the imperial edict and expressed her gratitude.

Hua Zisheng handed her an imperial edict with a jade scroll and silk brocade with auspicious cloud patterns.

She also gave Xie Zhaozhao the official first-rank imperial concubine's court dress and flower hairpin crown bestowed by His Majesty, as well as the rewards from His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Xi.

Yuanyuanmanman and the top maid in the mansion immediately helped to take it over.

Gu Shaoyu stuffed a silver note into Hua Zisheng's pocket, and Xie Yu also stuffed one into his pocket.

Hanako Sheng did not refuse, took the benefit, said a lot of auspicious words, and went back happily.

Xu and Xie Xiangxiang swallowed all the words of complaint they were about to say.

Now, if Xie Zhaozhao asked Xie Xiangxiang to kneel down, she would really kneel down.

Even her stepmother has to kneel.

The old lady was so proud and happy that she was crying. She held her hand and said, "Zhao Zhao, you did a great job. Saving people is a little worrying, but it's worth it if it benefits the people."

Xie Zhaozhao was still courteous and considerate to the old lady, and did not act arrogantly.

"I should thank my grandmother for her support. If she hadn't given me the manor, I wouldn't know where to place my family! In the final analysis, this honor was given to me by my grandmother."

Who wouldn't like to hear such words? The old lady's heart and eyes were full of this granddaughter. She said to Xie Anfeng: "Grandpa has educated her well."

Xie Anfeng was not willing to take credit for it and just said that it was a title requested for Zhao Zhao by the elders.

When Mrs. Xu looked at this family, she could only smile, and her smile was uglier than crying.

Xie Xiangxiang couldn't stand it anymore, and turned away in anger.

Xie Tingting was also unhappy, and behind others' backs, the two sisters scolded Xie Zhaozhao harshly.

Xie Tingting's teeth chattered with hatred, and she said, "We can't let her be so proud."

Xie Xiangxiang was upset and asked, "What good ideas do you have?"

Xie Tingting smiled, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Aunt Qu just gave birth to a son..."

Xie Xiangxiang was excited and scared: "Will it work?"

"Of course I can. Lv Yi is someone who used to be with my mother."

Tiffany Hsieh’s plan sounds perfect, and the little brother won’t die, he will just suffer a little.

Xie Xiangxiang smiled gently. Her sister was still as... vicious as ever!

In the previous life, it was also the day of the return visit. Everyone went to see this half brother together. Luyi asked Xie Zhaozhao to hold the baby. As a result, the half brother died the next day. Examination revealed that he was poisoned.

Aunt Qu lost her son and had a long and arduous feud with Xie Zhaozhao.

She thought it was her mother's work, but it turned out that it was Tingting who did it in her previous life!

It’s a pity that both my father and Gu Chengyan believed in Xie Zhaozhao unconditionally and did not punish her, and Master Gu did not divorce her.

So angry!

This time she must have both witnesses and evidence, and she will kill the enemy with one strike.

Big sister, just wait patiently.

Xie Xiangxiang and Xie Tingting went to Aunt Qu's yard to visit their newborn half-brother.

Aunt Qu had just given birth a few days ago and was still in confinement.

But she can get out of bed now. Being a concubine is not that precious. I have to serve the mistress after giving birth to the child.

Xie Xiangxiang and Xie Tingting were both legitimate daughters, so Aunt Qu did not dare to be arrogant. When she saw them coming, she hurriedly bowed.

Xie Xiangxiang smiled and said, "I'm here to see my little brother."

After hearing this, Aunt Qu immediately took her son out to show her.

After playing with the baby for a while, Xie Xiangxiang said, "My eldest sister was just conferred the title of First Rank Imperial Edict. I think she will come to see my little brother later. It's hot, so I'll give him a wash."

Aunt Qu felt very embarrassed. In the summer, children would definitely smell bad, and she herself was stinking.

Xie Xiangxiang was talking to Aunt Qu, while Xie Tingting and the maid Lvyi were chatting outside.

Not long after, the two left.

Xie Zhaozhao was still talking to relatives in the clan. Xie Wanwan was pulled into a conversation by Xie Tingting, saying that Aunt Qu had given birth to a son and the baby was very handsome.

The old lady glanced at Xie Wanwan, and Mrs. Xie immediately said to Xie Wanwan, "Wanwan, go to the public house and get some more ice. It's too hot here, Grandmother."

Xie Wanwan went to get some ice, and Xie Tingting said to Xie Zhaozhao, "Big sister, go and have a look. That little brother is really good-looking, and father really likes him!"

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Xie Tingting with a faint smile, ignored her, and continued talking to her grandmother.

Logically speaking, she is the legitimate daughter and has no need to look at any illegitimate son born to a concubine.

Xie Tingting and Xie Wanwan repeatedly asked her to go and see Aunt Qu's child, and she suddenly remembered things from her past life.

In her previous life, when she returned to her parents' home, everyone said to go and see the child born to Aunt Qu, saying that the child was very pretty and obedient.

Xu and Xie Xiangxiang asked her to go and take a look together.

The grandmother nodded at that time. After all, in her previous life, Xie Xiangxiang was the granddaughter-in-law of Prince Jing and her status was higher than Xie Zhaozhao. When she said she wanted to go and see her half-brother, Xie Zhaozhao could not refuse.

After she left, Lu Yi asked her to hold the baby, so she did.

The child started crying after she left, and then had convulsions. He did not make it through the next day and died.

Luyi insisted that she had taken the child and that she was the one who poisoned her half-brother to death.

Aunt Qu went to Xie Anfeng to ask for an explanation, but Xie Anfeng said that Xie Zhaozhao would never do such a thing.

Xie Yu would definitely side with his sister. Aunt Qu hated Xie Zhaozhao to death, and also hated Xie Anfeng for not punishing Xie Zhaozhao. She and Xu were completely on the same side.

Xie An was poisoned day after day.

The collapse of the Xie Mansion was due to the secret letter hidden in the mansion, and it was Aunt Qu and Xu who stole the secret letter.

The two of them joined forces to poison Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu and steal the letters.

In this life, she is asked to "poison" her half-brother again?
