It was already controversial for Shen Nian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to marry a widow as his principal wife, but in order to allow his own daughter to recognize her ancestors, he had no choice but to endure it. But this did not mean that others could make this matter public!

Mrs. Shen's usual gentle and considerate appearance suddenly froze. She looked up at Shen Yu in disbelief. When she heard the words "Chen's daughter", her heart was already in turmoil. Did she find out?

No, no, not even Su Yixia knew about this. If Shen Yu knew that Shen Yue was not her husband's child, she would have exposed it long ago! Yes! It must be like this!

She knew that the noble lady in Luo City looked down on her status as a second wife and had always excluded her, so she spent a lot of money to buy Nishangqu for her daughter.

Ever since she learned that the fairy circle could help her husband get information, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

As the wife of the current Shangshu, she had no imperial edict and no connections in the imperial city. The ladies of higher status looked down on her, and she also looked down on others of lower status. This resulted in the ladies she interacted with being either subordinates of Shangshu Shen or the wives of his subjects who had something to ask of them. She could not change her background and was too lazy to make herself look bad.

It was not until a while ago that I accidentally learned about the real purpose behind "Yuyifang" and realized how wrong I was.

Although Shen Nian didn't ask her to go to the party to get information, what if that day came? What if he found out that he couldn't get in at all, would he hate her?

Although there were cases of widows remarrying in Linyue Kingdom, there was absolutely no precedent of a widow marrying into a noble family and becoming the mistress of the household.

In the past, Shangshu Shen was personally appointed as the third place in the imperial examination by the emperor, and he worked his way up to the position of Shangshu step by step. Everyone was willing to give him face, and he married the daughter of Grand Tutor Su. But unexpectedly, the Shangshu was so unrefined that he married a second wife, not only a second time, but also a distant relative of the Su family?

This is very alienating. After all, the ladies in Luocheng used to know the daughter of the Su family. They won't make things difficult for Luo Yunmei, but ignoring her is humiliating enough.

As for what you said about marrying her being the last wish of the former Madam Shen? Haha, even a dog wouldn't believe it!

This was also the situation that Luo Yunmei had never expected after marrying into the Shen family, and it made her feel humiliated and powerless.

"Aunt! What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Shen's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by this exclamation. She saw Aunt Xu, who had never spoken today, was now lying in the arms of the maid. She took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and said in a mistress's manner, "Help Aunt Xu go back and rest!"

"Don't touch her for now. Let's ask the court doctor to take a look first! If something happens on the way, it could be even more dangerous!"

Shen Yu suddenly spoke up. She was curious whether this low-key aunt was really fainting or pretending to be fainting? Was she helping Mrs. Shen out?

She could see the true murderous intent in Shen Nian's eyes just now. Although he would not kill her on the spot, it at least proved that he did not mind killing her...

Haha, it seems that my dear wife has been married before, which is a thorn in Shen Nian's heart that cannot be removed... Tsk tsk tsk! Then don't blame her for using this thorn to hurt him more deeply.

At this time, someone hurried in from outside the door. Everyone thought it was the palace doctor, but the housekeeper shocked everyone when he spoke, "Master, Master, there is an imperial decree from the palace. Master, please go out and receive it!"

Shen Nian was startled. Imperial edict? What imperial edict?

Without caring about anything else, he immediately tidied up his appearance and took everyone out to receive the order.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Su Yixia, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, has inherited the ancestral teachings of the Su family, is well-educated and sensible, has a deep understanding of justice, and has made contributions to the country. She is posthumously conferred the title of Super Rank and is granted the treatment of a princess. This is decreed."

In the lobby, everyone in the Shen family who were kneeling on the ground had interesting expressions on their faces: Shen Nian was confused, the three concubines had a playful look on their faces, Luo Yunmei and her daughter were gloomy, and Shen Yu was very satisfied.

As soon as the angel who brought the imperial edict from the palace left, the housekeeper came running to report. Everyone's heart was lifted up, thinking that something big was going to happen. As a result, they knelt down in excitement, "Master! Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! Aunt Xu... Aunt Xu is pregnant! Master, you are going to have a little boy!"

Shen Nian was confused at first, and a few seconds later he stood up with a whoosh, "What!! What did you say! Say it again?"

When the butler saw the master like this, he knew that he, the person who brought the good news, must have received a huge reward, so he said it again.

"Good! Good! Good!! Hahahaha! I, Shen Nian, finally have a successor!" Shen Nian danced with joy.

"Reward! The whole mansion will reward you with three months' salary, and you should give it too! Hahaha! As for Aunt Xu, her food and expenses must be raised to the highest level in the future, and also the yard. Yes, the yard must also be replaced with a bigger one..." As he spoke, he quickly rushed back to see his beloved aunt.

Madam Shen was so angry that her whole body was shaking. Her beloved daughter got into trouble outside yesterday, and the late Su Yixia was granted a super-rank imperial decree, and now even Aunt Xu was pregnant?

No one in the Shen family had been pregnant for six years since she married into the family. She even began to suspect that there was something wrong with her husband, and she sought help from many famous doctors, but to no avail.

As a result, the young master of the Shen family will be born in the belly of a concubine?

"Congratulations, Madam Shen. The Shen family will finally have a successor!" A sarcastic voice came from behind. Madam Shen turned around and saw Shen Yu's face full of gloating, with poison in his eyes!

She seemed to be dissatisfied. "Ah! The Shen family will finally have a young master who truly belongs to them, and no longer that dishonest Chen's daughter from the Shen family. Are you very happy, auntie?"

"Sister, do you hate me so much? I am your sister after all!" Shen Yue said angrily!

I had fooled my mother last night, and I knew that the matter of "Nichangqu" would be resolved somehow. I didn't expect her to expose it in front of me. This bitch must have come back to laugh at me today. "Did you know about this imperial edict a long time ago?"

"Hey! You're not stupid!" Shen Yu raised a smile and approached with a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I personally requested this imperial edict. Are you envious? Chen Yue!"

She looked at the mother and daughter coldly, as if she was looking at something dirty, and suddenly smiled and said, "What does my mother Su's dowry have to do with you Shen, Luo, and Chen? Don't think I don't know what you have done? Aunt, I will give you one day. Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m., I want to see all the missing dowries appear in full and neat order at the gate of Prince Zhuo's Mansion. If one piece is missing, I will let the entire Linyue Kingdom know how you, the Shen family, treated Su's orphan badly!" After saying that, she left without looking back.

"you you……"

"Ah! Madam, what's wrong with you? Someone, come here!" The nanny beside Madam Shen shouted anxiously.

Luo Yunmei suffered a series of blows and could no longer hold on. Before she passed out, she just prayed that the craftsman hired by that person could make the fake one look real...

The servants in the Shen Mansion were in chaos, and Shen Yue, who was standing nearby, was also terrified. She had a hunch that her life would change from today on.
