At the Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion, Shen Wanwan had been waiting for news from outside since she woke up.

As a result, after half a day passed, she did not receive the rumor that she and Wanwan had agreed to ask the beggar brothers to help spread, but instead received the imperial edict from the palace.

Ruoyun ran back "thump thump thump", out of breath, which showed how fast she ran all the way back.

Seeing Ruoyun return, Shen Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "Has the rumor about my beloved Prince Qin inviting him to dinner at Zuixianju, but being injured and leaving without even having time to eat, spread like wildfire and spread throughout the city?"

Ruoyun shook her head repeatedly, her hands shaking along with it, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief, "No, there's no such thing..."

Shen Wanwan was surprised. "No? How could there be no one? The Beggars' Sect brothers are useless..."

"Miss, listen to me. I've walked around several streets and haven't heard a single rumor about you and the King of Qin."

She was sent out by her young mistress to go around the streets and alleys to inquire about news, but not only did not any of the news her young mistress had mentioned come out, there were not even a few people gossiping on the streets.

Shen Wanwan's expression changed immediately. Could it be that Wanwan had forgotten about this?

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have forced her to meet Xie Moxuan. Her heart is completely devoted to him, and she might really forget about this matter.

"Miss, listen to me. Hurry to the front yard now. An imperial edict has arrived. I heard it's from the Emperor's most beloved steward, Jiang. Don't delay any longer and go receive it."

Shen Wanwan was stunned. "Imperial edict? What imperial edict? If it's the Marquis' Mansion's imperial edict, Pei Zhazha can just go and receive it. Why ask me to receive it?"

"Oh my lady, please stop wasting time. Regardless of whether it's an imperial edict from the Marquis' Mansion or anyone else, Eunuch Jiang has said that only Miss Pei can personally receive the edict before it can be read out. Please hurry and follow me."

Ruoyun refused to allow any explanation and dragged Shen Wanwan away, "The Marquis has already been carried to the front yard, but Eunuch Jiang said that the imperial decree cannot be announced unless you are present."

Shen Wanwan's lips trembled when she heard this. Pei Bailiang had a broken leg and had to be carried to the front yard to receive the imperial edict. Tsk tsk, what a sin!

Thinking of the possibility that Pei Zhazha might kneel down and accept the order while enduring the pain, Shen Wanwan felt relieved.

When Shen Wanwan arrived at the front yard, everyone in the mansion was there, including the maids and servants from each room and courtyard, without missing a single one.

About a hundred people stood in the middle of the courtyard. The maids, old women and servants all looked at each other in unison, but the masters of the marquis' mansion all looked at "Pei Wanwan".

Also looking at her was the eunuch chief Jiang Baitong, who was waiting to read the imperial edict.

He stared at "Pei Wanwan" for a long time, his face stern, but an indescribable smile hidden in his eyes, "Is this the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, Pei Wanwan?"

Shen Wanwan raised her eyes to look at Jiang Baitong, and happened to meet his gaze. She could sense the burning intensity of his gaze, but it seemed to harbor no ill will. She felt strangely embarrassed in her heart, "Greetings to Eunuch Jiang, Wanwan, you are so polite!"

"Miss Pei, you are embarrassing me. I am just a servant in the service of the Emperor. How can I accept such a courtesy from Miss Pei?"

Shen Wanwan: “???”

She really didn't know how to respond to this.

"Now that the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family has arrived, we will begin reading the imperial edict."
