After Shen Yuan finished giving the order, he suddenly remembered that Eunuch Gui was still watching him. His face turned pale and he felt quite embarrassed.

He bowed his hands and apologized: "Eunuch Gui, I am sorry that my daughter is so ignorant and rebellious that I have embarrassed you."

After apologizing, he saw that none of the maids and servants in the house moved, so he shouted angrily: "Hurry up and make Shen Nanxing kneel down!"

Shen Nanxing looked at him with a half-smile: "Dad, the people who are supposed to receive the decree haven't arrived yet, why are you so anxious?"

"And..." Shen Nanxing patted the non-existent dust on her sleeves: "Father, I'm afraid your memory is not very good. I am now the Princess of Jing. Even if you ordered me to do so, I'm afraid no servant in the Marquis' Mansion would dare to force me to kneel!"

Aunt Qiu was furious when she heard this: "Shen Nanxing, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean the person who will receive the imperial edict hasn't arrived yet? Are you blind? I'm such a grown man, can't you see?"

"Also, even if you are the Princess of Jing, you must kneel before His Majesty's decree! Otherwise, you would be disrespecting His Majesty. If you want to die, don't bring trouble to the Marquisate!"

Shen Nanxing's expression was indifferent: "Oh? Aunt Qiu knows quite a lot!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "aunt".

As expected, as soon as she said this, she saw her scumbag father's face suddenly change.

Only Aunt Qiu herself hadn't realized what was wrong. She stiffened her neck and yelled, looking arrogant: "Shen Nanxing, you probably don't know yet! Today your father will make me his concubine. In the future, I will be the same as your mother, both the legitimate mistress of this mansion! Be more polite when you speak to me from now on!"

"Also, His Majesty's decree today was given to me. This is unique in the Marquis' Mansion. Your mother is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, so why doesn't she have this treatment? You..."

"what are you doing?"

Aunt Qiu was talking excitedly when she felt the man next to her constantly pulling at her sleeves, affecting her output, so she glared at him impatiently.

The two of them looked like clowns. Shen Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He tried to pull Aunt Qiu to stand up, but Aunt Qiu was so emotional that she resisted violently and could not be pulled away.

Shen Nanxing smiled, ignoring her father's angry face, and bowed to Eunuch Gui: "Eunuch Gui, I am sorry to have embarrassed you because of your father's ignorant concubine."

Eunuch Gui nodded, looking sarcastically at the two men still kneeling and fighting. "I have delivered imperial edicts on behalf of His Majesty many times, but this is the first time I've seen a concubine receive an edict on behalf of the Queen. It's quite novel."

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Qiu stopped all her movements and her face turned pale.

She looked at Shen Yuan: "What do you mean? This imperial edict is not for me?"

But the man's face was extremely ugly. He just pulled her hand and tried to help her up: "Qiu'er, get up first. Listen to me..."

"I won't listen!" Aunt Qiu stood up abruptly and shook the man's hand away. "Shen Yuan, you called me here just to embarrass me, didn't you? Are you happy to humiliate me in public like this?"

Wherever she looked, she saw that the maids and servants in the Marquis's Mansion looked at her with strange eyes, and they were clearly laughing at her.

He couldn't bear it any longer, so he covered his face and ran away.

Shen Yuan raised his foot and wanted to chase after him, but when he looked up, he saw Eunuch Gui looking at him with interest, and he immediately stopped moving.

He spoke with difficulty: "Eunuch Gui, I am so sorry. Your humble servant, your humble servant... accidentally made a mistake. I thought, I thought..."

He was halfway through his speech when he couldn't go on.

Eunuch Gui nodded in understanding. "Master Shen, there's no need to explain. I understand. But Master Shen is the only one who can confuse his wife with his concubines."

"Eunuch Gui..." Shen Yuan's face changed drastically, and he wanted to explain something.

Eunuch Gui waved his hand, and Shen Yuan didn't dare to say anything. He didn't know whether to go forward or retreat, so he could only stand there hesitating.

Shen Nanxing bowed to Eunuch Gui and said, "Eunuch Gui, Nanxing has sent someone to fetch mother. Would you like to move inside the mansion and rest for a while?"

Eunuch Gui smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Madam Xu is of noble status, so it is not a problem for me to wait for a while."
