Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan was immediately stunned: "Is this imperial edict... really for my wife?"

Eunuch Gui grinned so hard that his teeth showed, and he patted his shoulder. "It's absolutely true, Master Shen! You're so happy you're going crazy! Why don't you quickly send someone to ask Madam to come out and receive the order?"

Shen Yuan was a little confused for a moment. Eunuch Gui said it was a great joy, so it must be a good thing. He just didn't know what Qiu'er had done to win the favor of His Majesty.

You have to know that Eunuch Gui is a big shot around His Majesty. He usually flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. He even gives some face to officials of the third rank and above. But in front of a low-ranking official like him who is not even qualified to attend the morning court, his eyes are fixed on the sky.

Not to mention who he was so kind to.

Qiu'er must have done something remarkable that made His Majesty issue an imperial decree to praise her!

Yes, Qiu'er is a kind-hearted person in normal times. It is normal for her to do something good and catch the attention of His Majesty.

In an instant, Shen Yuan's thoughts turned a thousand times. He had a clear idea in his mind, and with a smile on his face, he said to the servant who had just brought him here, "Madam, please come to the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion to receive the order. Quickly!"

After watching the servant leave, he took out a heavy purse from his bosom and handed it to Eunuch Gui with both hands: "Thank you for making this trip, Eunuch. You can use this little money to buy some tea and drink. I hope you won't mind it."

Eunuch Gui took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction: "Master Shen, you are very polite."

Shen Yuan smiled broadly, "Eunuch, could you please tell me what happy event this imperial edict mentions?"

Eunuch Gui smiled and glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, but kept it a secret: "Of course it's a great joyous event. As for the content of the imperial edict, let's wait until Madam comes to my house to read it out!"

"My Lord, you are right! It was I who was impatient!" Shen Yuan bowed and saluted. He felt itchy and itchy inside, but he had to wait patiently for his wife to come.

He kept staring towards the backyard, waiting anxiously.

Who knew that instead of Qiu'er, he got Shen Nanxing, that rebellious girl.

Shen Nanxing was still wearing a green dress today, and walked over slowly with Chun Xing.

She originally wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion to find the Ninth Prince, but before she even left the house, she saw her jerk father and Eunuch Gui beside His Majesty standing at the gate. Her jerk father kept looking in her direction, and she didn't know who he was waiting for.

She quickened her pace and walked over, bowing to Eunuch Gui. "Eunuch Gui, how come you have time to come to the Marquis' Mansion today?"

Eunuch Gui raised the imperial edict in his hand, still smiling: "My humble servant greets the princess. I came to the Marquis' Mansion today to deliver the imperial edict. I will announce it when Madam arrives."

"Is your Highness going out? Why don't you stay and listen to your orders?"

Shen Nanxing readily agreed: "Okay, eunuch, then Nanxing will respectfully obey your command."

But in my heart, I was thinking, since Eunuch Gui is waiting for my mother to come and announce the imperial edict, then this imperial edict is for my mother? At this time in my previous life, I didn't hear that His Majesty had issued any imperial edict to the Marquis' Mansion!

But judging from Eunuch Gui's expression, this must be a happy event. I just don't know what it is.

After waiting for a while, they saw a woman not far away, accompanied by two maids, walking towards the gate in small and elegant steps.

Shen Nanxing frowned.

It's Aunt Qiu! Eunuch Gui announced the decree. What is a concubine like her doing here?

I saw that she was still wearing a pink dress, but it was not as tight as the one she wore yesterday, and the neckline was not as low as usual. However, her seductive look did not diminish at all. She twisted her body with every step and walked towards me gracefully.

Shen Yuan finally waited for her to arrive, and strode forward to greet her, naturally taking her hand: "Qiu'er, why did you come so late? Eunuch Gui was waiting anxiously."

Aunt Qiu's face was naturally filled with joy. She glanced at Shen Yuan with a reproachful look: "My husband, I have come to receive His Majesty's imperial decree. Shouldn't I dress properly? Do you think I look good today?"

Shen Yuan turned his head and looked at her.

The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, a tender and fair face, and a pair of moist eyes, looking at him with affection. The woman's soft body leaned towards him intentionally or unintentionally, and his heart softened.

He suddenly felt his throat dry, and a slight change occurred somewhere in his body. Thinking that there were outsiders present, he quickly looked away and pretended to cough.

Then he whispered back, "My Qiu'er is the most beautiful in the world."

Then he took the beauty and walked quickly to Eunuch Gui, his face full of eagerness and joy: "Eunuch Gui, my wife is here, you can announce the decree."

"Your Highness, I greet you." Aunt Qiu smiled and greeted Eunuch Gui.

After the two finished talking, Shen Yuan pulled Aunt Qiu to kneel down, without noticing the shock and astonishment in Eunuch Gui's eyes.

After the two of them and their maids knelt down, Shen Yuan discovered that Shen Nanxing and her maid were still standing. He became furious and said, "Shen Nanxing, kneel down!"

Shen Nanxing almost laughed out loud.

It's ridiculous that her scumbag father actually called a concubine "Madam" in front of Eunuch Gui!

She was just wondering, Eunuch Gui came to issue the imperial edict, what was a concubine doing here? Now it seemed that even before marrying this concubine, the scumbag father had already regarded Concubine Qiu as the legitimate wife of the Marquis's mansion. Did he even think that this imperial edict was issued to Concubine Qiu?

Seeing that she and her husband had both knelt, while Shen Nanxing was still standing, Aunt Qiu immediately became unhappy. She frowned and said, "Nanxing, I know you've always disliked me, but now that Eunuch Gui is about to read the imperial edict, you can't just not kneel because it's for me, right?"

"There were many misunderstandings between you and me in the past, and I apologize to you. However, you have committed a grave sin by disrespecting His Majesty!"

She got angry as soon as she saw Shen Nanxing.

Yesterday, she sent someone to inquire about Yi'er's situation, thinking that Shen Nanxing's words were all alarmist and that Yi'er would be fine. However, she never expected that the results of the inquiry would show that although Yi'er was not beaten to death as she said, she was very close to being beaten to death!

Yi'er was beaten with thirty boards. Her flesh and blood were a mess, and there was hardly a single piece of good flesh on her back. If Prince Jing hadn't used a century-old ginseng to keep her alive, she would have been beaten to death long ago...

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, just hearing about it made her heart ache. Her Yi'er had been spoiled since she was little, how could she have suffered such hardship? She immediately wanted to tear Shen Nanxing into pieces. If she hadn't been jealous and shamelessly brought this matter to the court, Yi'er wouldn't have had to suffer like this!

Just wait and see! One day, she will make this bitch pay! She will repay Yi'er's humiliation from yesterday a hundredfold, a thousandfold!!!

Seeing that Shen Nanxing still refused to kneel, Shen Yuan was immediately furious: "Come here, force Shen Nanxing to kneel down!"
