After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The person who delivered the imperial edict this time was not Eunuch Gao.

I heard that he was Eunuch Gao's apprentice.

The father-in-law rode a tall horse and led a small group of people into Wuhe Village in a mighty procession.

After all, the villagers witnessed the Shen family receiving the imperial edict last time, so they were much calmer this time.

Although the villagers were not surprised, they were still curious.

"Why do you think the Shen family receives imperial edicts every few days?"

"Oh, don't you understand this?"

"You understand?"

"Of course the Shen family will accept the imperial edict only if the emperor attaches great importance to it."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Have you forgotten..."

"what?"

"The Shen family was sent to Wuhe Village by an imperial decree from the Emperor."

The man also thought about it and thought that what he said made sense.

"Stop talking now, let's go and see what the imperial edict says."

……

Everyone in the Shen family received the order, and the content was exactly the same as what Shen Maoshan said in the letter.

Although the Shen family knew it well, they still looked surprised and excited, and were grateful to the emperor.

Looking at the villagers who were watching and kowtowing, none of them were not shocked.

what?

Did the Shen family really encounter such a great thing?

It turns out that pie really does fall from the sky!

The Shen family was the first family to be founded in the Jiuzhou Kingdom!

He was confiscated and exiled by an imperial decree from the emperor, but a few years later, his title was restored by two imperial decrees from the emperor.

"My goodness, has your title really been restored?"

"So the Shen family is leaving?"

"Of course. Didn't you hear the imperial edict saying that the Shen family doesn't have to stay in Wuhe Village anymore and will be returning to Shangjing soon?"

"Ah, after you mentioned that, I suddenly remembered that the Shen family seemed a little strange some time ago."

"Yes, they gave the village land to the Shen family's eldest daughter's maid to manage."

"And that caravan also seemed to have been given to the two Xingzong brothers of the Shen family."

"By the way, I also saw many wealthy businessmen from Quzhou Prefecture come to the Shen family."

"No wonder..."

What else did the villagers not understand? It seemed that the Shen family had already received the news.

It’s just that the Shen family is very low-key and never says a word to anyone else.

Shen Congshan, the eldest master of the Shen family, received the order on behalf of the Shen family. Naturally, the Shen family members surrounded their father-in-law and went into the house to rest.

This time, the father-in-law was not in a hurry to leave like Eunuch Gao. He wanted to wait for the Shen family to return together.

Shen Congshan and Shen Mingshan sat on the left and right of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

Just now when entering the house, the Shen family gave the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict a bulging purse of silver.

Now he was surrounded by the two masters of the Shen family, drinking tea. Listening to the polite compliments from the Shen family, the eunuch squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

It seems that all the hardships I have endured along the way were worth it.

Originally, none of the master's apprentices wanted to come, so the task fell on the younger him.

He naturally knew why everyone was unwilling to come here.

Although in Shangjing, it was no secret that the Shen family had restored their title.

However, the Shen family is a big country whose property was confiscated. What foundation can the family have?

Not only was the journey from Shangjing City to Wuhe Village arduous, but the Shen family probably couldn't afford to give them any money as a filial gift.

He had no choice but to follow along.

I didn’t expect the Shen family to be so sensible.

First he gave me a bag of silver, and just now he gave me a box of banknotes.

Shen Mingshan looked at his father-in-law who was grinning from ear to ear, and he exchanged glances with the eldest master of the Shen family.

"Father-in-law, have some tea."

"Master Shen is too polite."

"Father-in-law, you have worked hard on the journey. Let the Shen family pack up for the next two days and then set off with you."

The father-in-law smiled with great understanding, "As I should, it's just that there are still many things waiting for Master and Madam in Shangjing."

Shen Mingshan smiled and said, "That's natural."

"Speaking of Shangjing City..."

The father-in-law glanced at the Third Master of the Shen family and said, "Third Master, just tell me what you want to say."

Shen Mingshan complimented him a few times before continuing, "Father-in-law, you know that the Shen family has been away from Shangjing City for almost five years. Now that we're back, I wonder if Shangjing City has changed at all?"

Shen Mingshan smiled embarrassedly, "I won't hide it from you, father-in-law, but I'm afraid that the Shen family doesn't know what's going on and might make a mistake."

After hearing this, the father-in-law waved his hands and said, "Haha, I thought it was something else. This is easy to talk about."

Then the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict began to talk about what had happened in Shangjing City in the past few years.

Shen Congshan was a little restless and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, eunuch is indeed well-informed. But is there anything else happening in Shangjing City these days that we need to pay attention to?"

The father-in-law thought about it after hearing this.

He looked at the two masters of the Shen family and hesitated.

At this time, Shen Zhixue walked in with some money.

Just think about it and you will know what it is.

My father-in-law felt a little embarrassed to take it.

He thought of his master's instructions.

He said carefully: "If there is anything important, it is naturally the restoration of the Shen family's title, the eldest prince is going to marry the second daughter of the Shen family, and then..."

"The Emperor appointed the Third Prince as Crown Prince."

Shen Zhixue's pupils trembled after hearing this.

Although Shen Congshan and Shen Mingshan didn't understand much about what was happening in the court, they knew that the Shen family was now in the same boat with the third prince.

Now that the emperor has appointed the third prince as the crown prince, this should be a good thing for the Shen family, right?

Shen Zhixue complimented his father-in-law a few times, then asked, "Then I wonder if General Xiang..."

Originally, Shen Zhixue was just curious as to why there had been no news about General Xiang.

He just mentioned it tentatively, but the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict actually turned grim-faced.

"Who am I to the Shen family's young master? Am I a servant of the Shen family? You can interrogate me..."

My father-in-law stood up while speaking.

Shen Mingshan quickly persuaded Shen Zhixue with a few words, then gave him a look to signal him to leave quickly.

Shen Zhixue told the other members of the Shen family the news he knew.

The rest of the Shen family stayed in the third room.

Now after hearing what Shen Zhixue said, they felt uneasy.

When the Shen family heard the imperial edict, they felt that the heavy stone in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.

Who knew there was even more shocking news.

The emperor actually appointed the third prince as the crown prince.

What about the eldest prince?

Oh, the eldest prince is going to marry the second daughter of the Shen family.

I heard that the eldest prince also received a reward.

"I don't know what happened to General Xiang..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinyao added, "He must have been imprisoned by the Emperor."

"what?"

"Jin'er, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Shen Jinyao felt a little embarrassed by being stared at by everyone. She touched her nose and said, "I just asked a guard about it."

"The guard also said that Eunuch Gao instructed the eunuch who delivered the decree not to say too much..."

Shen Zhixue and Mrs. Shen Er looked at Shen Jinyao with complicated eyes.

But Shen Jinyao did not do this on purpose. She heard from the servants that the village chief's men were surrounding the guards and talking.

She thought about it and followed.

Unexpectedly, the village chief was also keeping an eye on Shang Jing's affairs?
