After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

However, just as Madam Wen stepped out of the yard, the doorman came running over to report.

"Madam! Please go to the front hall!"

Old Madam Wen was anxious to take Wen Qianqian back to her Shoukangyuan, in case Qu changed her mind.

So when she heard this, she frowned and said, "I am an old woman, so I won't go to the front hall to meet guests anymore."

"No, no." The concierge remembered that his tongue was tied.

It was Qu who asked, "Are there any important guests coming?"

The doorman immediately said, "That's right! Someone is coming from the palace."

Madam Wen, who had not intended to go over, opened her eyes instantly and asked, "In the palace?"

"Yes, old lady, it's the fourth eunuch He from the palace. He's here to announce the decree."

He Si was the godson of the great eunuch Zhao Bao. His coming was equivalent to Zhao Bao coming in person, and Zhao Bao's coming was equivalent to His Majesty coming.

After thinking about it, Old Madam Wen finally realized the importance of the matter.

Her face darkened and she said, "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you lead the way?!"

"Yes."

"Oh, right." Old Madam Wen suddenly said, "Qianqian is young, so she doesn't need to go."

Wen Qianqian quickly waved her little fist.

[Evil old lady, I am older than you! I am already three thousand years old, and you are young. Your whole family is young! ]

Madam Qu suppressed her laughter and said, "Even if she is very young, Eunuch He is here to announce the decree, so it is better to carry Qianqian along with him."

Old Madam Wen glanced at Qu with displeasure.

"What is she going to do? Are you confused? What if she offends the nobles in the palace because she is young and ignorant?"

"Don't forget, Madam Xie can't open her eyes yet."

"If she spits at the nobles in the palace, can you and I bear the consequences?"

Qu just wanted to see Wen Qianqian as much as possible, so she insisted, "Although Qianqian is still young, she is actually very sensible and precocious. I don't think she will do this."

Madam Wen's expression turned ugly again.

"Qu, what's wrong with you today? Do you dislike an old woman like me? Why do you always contradict me no matter what I say?"

"My wife didn't..."

"Then shut your mouth!"

Madam Zou and the others beside her also whispered to persuade her: "Jinniang, forget it. It is more important to receive the imperial edict. The palace will not blame a child this young even if he does not go."

Qu was about to speak when she suddenly heard Wen Qianqian's voice again.

[Mother, don't quarrel with the old woman. If she can't win the argument, she will use filial piety to pressure you. Don't worry about me. If she doesn't take me over now, let her carry me over later! ]

Carry Qianqian over there in person?

Qu was puzzled.

After Qianqian was born, the old lady never held her even once.

Even when she wanted to take Qianqian away just now, she let the servant hold her, which shows that the old lady didn't want to hold Qianqian at all.

But she clearly heard Qianqian say that the old lady would carry her there personally.

But no matter what, Qianqian has never been wrong in what she said, so it must be true.

Qu couldn't help but feel curious and expectant.

So the two groups went their separate ways.

One group took Wen Qianqian to the old lady's Shoukangyuan, and the other group followed the old lady Wen to the front hall.

The front hall is located in front of Wen Zehai's own courtyard.

Although his colleagues congratulated him on the surface, they did not take Wen Zehai seriously in their hearts.

He was born into a peasant family and used to be just a gatekeeper.

Before he married Qu, he had to show great respect to them when he met them. Now that he had risen to prominence thanks to Qu and was an official in the court like them, who could look down on him?

If it weren't for the fact that their wives were on good terms with Qu, they would certainly not be willing to come to congratulate them.

It's just that these people are all shrewd people. They look down on Wen Zehai in their hearts, but they don't show it at all on their faces.

At this time, Eunuch He Si was personally welcomed by Wen Zehai to the front hall, and everyone came forward with a smile to serve him tea.

"Hello, Eunuch He. Why isn't Eunuch Zhao here today?"

Going out of the palace to announce imperial decrees was a lucrative job. After a trip, you could return with a bulging wallet.

Therefore, this kind of lucrative job has always belonged to the eunuch Zhao Bao.

He Si chuckled and did not mention that his godfather was going to deal with the matter of Concubine Li's house arrest. Instead, he said, "My godfather loves me and specially asked me to come here to announce the decree."

"I see. I wonder what decree His Majesty issued this time?"

He Si kept the secret.

"When Lord Wen's family members are all here, you will know."

Wen Zehai was deeply confused after hearing this. What could be the matter that could only be revealed after the family members arrived?

But since Eunuch He Si said so, Wen Zehai quickly sent someone to urge him.

Soon, Madam Wen, Qu and others came over.

Just now, the women in the inner palace and these officials had held banquets separately. When the two sides met, the women in the inner palace each came to the side of their husbands.

"Jin Niang."

Wen Zehai held Qu's hand with a loving smile.

"You must have worked hard entertaining the guests just now, right?"

Qu felt nauseous.

She pulled her hand out of Wen Zehai's and said coyly, "So many people are watching."

Wen Zehai didn't notice the goose bumps on Qu's body. He just thought she was shy. He laughed and bowed to Eunuch He.

"Eunuch He, my mother and wife are here. Zhi'er is still in school. You also know Ting'er's situation. Should we start announcing the decree now?"

Wen Zehai was a little impatient.

His intuition told him that this imperial edict might be a more valuable reward besides the rewards given by the court.

However, after he finished speaking, He Si did not answer immediately, but looked around for someone.

Wen Zehai couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Eunuch He, who are you looking for?"

He Si couldn't see Wen Qianqian and suddenly became anxious.

"Master Wen, I'm looking for your little girl. Why isn't Fourth Miss Wen here?"

Madam Wen was stunned, and asked subconsciously: "Eunuch, are you looking for Qianqian...?"

He Si cleared his throat and said, "This imperial decree is for Miss Wen Si."

Old Madam Wen suddenly widened her eyes.

He was actually looking for Wen Qianqian?

Why is Your Majesty issuing an edict to that useless piece of shit?

"So, can we go and take Miss Four away now?" He Si was already a little impatient.

Although he was just a small eunuch, he served the emperor closely. As the mother of a small thousand households and without an imperial decree, there was naturally no need to be too patient with him.

Wen Zehai saw He Si's impatience with the old lady, and immediately pretended to casually turn his attention to Qu.

"Jinniang, you always bring Qianqian with you wherever you go. Why don't you bring her today? Go and bring Qianqian here quickly, so as not to keep Eunuch He waiting for too long."

Wen Zehai's tone seemed gentle, but in fact he was putting all the blame on Qu.

In the past, Qu might not have noticed it, or even blamed herself, but now she saw through Wen Zehai's intentions at a glance.

Are you trying to pass on the blame?

Then let’s put the blame back on the person who did it!
