The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Yang Xiuyun begged and persuaded her parents for a long time before her sixty-year-old mother finally agreed to go to Rongguo Mansion with her.

When entering Rongguo Mansion, Yang Xiuyun was still holding Shen Yanfeng's outer robe in her hand, fearing that the people of the Shen family would not acknowledge her.

After Yang Xiuyun's exaggerated narration, the old lady of Duke Rong and Madam Shen all looked gloomy.

If it was any other woman, the old lady would have just waved her hand and let her grandson adopt her.

It just so happened that this young lady of the Jiang family caused a sensation in the city because of her unclear relationship with the prime minister's son.

Such an unscrupulous woman is now dreaming of relying on the Shen family. It is really a daydream.

The old lady said: "I haven't seen Madam Jiang for a few years. Her temper is still the same as before. But Madam Jiang really shouldn't repay kindness with resentment. My grandson saved Miss Jiang out of righteousness. Madam Jiang should be grateful. She really shouldn't rely on her benefactor for this."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuyun was so anxious that she broke into a sweat. "Madam, I am naturally grateful to Lord Shen, but it is an indisputable fact that my daughter and Lord Shen have had physical contact!"

Madam Shen said coldly, "If it weren't for this, how could my son have saved her? If I had known that Madam Jiang would be like this, my son would have watched her die without saving her and let her body sink to the bottom of the lake."

"My own daughter was not disciplined well. She was hanging out with other young men and ended up jumping into the river. Now she is blaming her lifesaver. She is really shameless."

Hearing this, Yang Xiuyun's face immediately turned red with anxiety: "Madam Shen, you...if you insist on saying that, then I will have no choice but to file a complaint with the emperor."

Mrs. Shen said expressionlessly, "Go ahead and sue me. My son is honest and upright, so he is not afraid of any slander."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuyun immediately sat up and said, "Okay, then please wait for good news, Madam Shen!" Then she walked out holding her robe.

Old Madam Yang said goodbye to the two of them with a blushing face, and then hurried to chase her daughter.

After they left, Madam Shen couldn't help but frown and said, "Mother, do you think she will really go to the emperor to file a complaint?"

Old Madam Shen frowned and said, "It's hard to say. When she was young, she and the Empress were close friends."

"But so many years have passed, and their status has become very different. I wonder if the Queen can still remember her."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen could not help but pound the table: "Our Feng'er must not marry such a woman as his second wife. If it really goes as they wish, the Rongguo Mansion will become a laughing stock in the capital."

Madam Shen said with a sullen face, "Feng'er has not been close to women for so many years. If he were to marry such a woman who is immoral, he would definitely object. The Emperor and the Empress would naturally not agree to her easily. She is only a sixth-rank woman, the Emperor would not care about their face!"

"Let's wait and see. This won't happen."

Madam Shen: "With what you said, I feel relieved."

Yang Xiuyun took the jade bracelet given to her by the Queen Mother, and then went into the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When the Queen was young, she liked her cheerful personality very much, so she had a very good relationship with her.

Although so many years have passed, she still feels very close to the name Yang Xiuyun.

However, even so, the Queen couldn't help but frown after listening to Yang Xiuyun's story.

Even if Shen Yanfeng remarried, he should not marry the daughter of a sixth-rank official. This is not a good match at all.

If she helped the Shen family arrange this marriage because of their personal relationship, the Shen family would naturally resent her.

Just then, the emperor suddenly came.

After being stunned for a moment, Yang Xiuyun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in greeting.

When the emperor heard that she was Lord Jiang's wife, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Madam Jiang, why did you suddenly come to the palace?"

This sentence is like saying, your husband is a minor official of the sixth rank, and you have the nerve to enter the palace?

Yang Xiuyun blushed and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am here for my daughter's lifelong event."

Emperor: "Oh, go on."

Yang Xiuyun: "I almost drowned today, but fortunately I was rescued by Lord Shen, the commander of the Imperial Guards. I am naturally very grateful to Lord Shen."

"It's just that Lord Shen had physical contact with my daughter during the process of saving her, so I would like to ask the Queen to make the decision so that my daughter can marry Lord Shen. This way, we can complete a marriage."

The emperor frowned immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

The Queen: "Since the death of his late wife, Lord Shen has never remarried. It is indeed time for him to marry a successor."

"But, if it's because of something like this, I'm afraid that Lord Shen would be wronged."

"And the Jiang family and the Shen family are indeed not considered..."

"I think Lord Shen should be responsible for Miss Jiang."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuyun could not help but kowtow to the emperor excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Upon hearing this, the Empress couldn't help but widen her eyes: "The Emperor means that Miss Jiang will be Mr. Shen's..."

"Master Shen needs a second wife, so marry him!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuyun kowtowed with a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The Empress was shocked that the Emperor would grant the marriage so readily. After all, he still respected Shen Yanfeng very much, and he should have asked Shen Yanfeng before granting the marriage.

Could it be that he was afraid that her family's power would grow stronger and stronger, so he deliberately promised him a lady from a sixth-rank family?

She had no time to think about it now. The emperor had already issued an imperial decree, and even though she was the empress, she could not raise any objections.

After Yang Xiuyun returned home, she asked the housekeeper to count the valuables in her house.

The Jiang family had finally married into a wealthy family, so she had to prepare a generous dowry for her daughter. Only in this way would her husband's family look up to Jiang Sujin.

Since Jiang Sujin is popular in her husband's family, Shen Yanfeng will be nicer to her and can even promote her family members.

When Jiang Moting returned home, he found that all his famous paintings were placed on the table in the main hall.

This made him feel distressed, and he asked hurriedly: "Madam, what are you doing?"

Yang Xiuyun glanced at him and said, "What time is it? You just returned home? You are busy from morning till night every day. If you don't know, you would think you are a high-ranking official!"

Jiang Moting heard this and said unnaturally: "The Hanlin Academy has asked me to sort out historical materials these days."

Jiang Sujin looked at her father. Although he was almost forty years old, he still looked handsome and elegant.

No wonder the original owner's mother followed him regardless of worldly opinion for his sake.

The original owner perfectly inherited her father's genes. She was tall and slender, like a tall pine tree. Her nose was tall and straight, as if it was carefully carved by a master. Her eyes were bright and her lips were small and exquisite, as tempting as a ripe cherry.

Her waist-length black and shiny hair makes her look particularly outstanding.

It is also because of this that Xiao Shian fell in love with the original owner at first sight.

In ancient times, for women without family background, beauty was a disaster, which was why the original owner was in her current situation.

Perhaps Jiang Sujin's soul and the original owner's soul had merged into one, so when she saw the original owner's parents, she naturally felt a strong sense of intimacy in her heart.

Yang Xiuyun glanced at Jiang Moting, and then said unhappily: "You only know how to be busy with official business. Your daughter almost drowned today, did you know that?"

Jiang Moting looked at Jiang Sujin immediately after hearing this: "Susu, what happened to you?"

Yang Xiuyun: "What else happened? She jumped into the river because of that unfaithful man and almost drowned."

Jiang Moting couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Susu, Dad has told me so many times that the Xiao family is cunning and treacherous. How can you be so upset about such people?"

Jiang Sujin: "Dad, I've let it go. I won't worry about that unfaithful man anymore."

Alas, the original owner had felt relieved after taking that leap, but now she has to take over this mess.

Yang Xiuyun: "Even if Su Su wants to act foolishly, she has no chance, because the emperor has already given her to Shen Yanfeng, the commander of the imperial guards."

Jiang Moting couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "What did you say?"
