The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

The Queen Mother happily called Shangguan Yueyin and Shen Leyan to accompany her.

Shangguan Rui looked at the happy faces of the few people and was very dissatisfied. He really couldn't understand why she didn't care about him at all as the Queen Mother's brother...

Not only was she always partial to Yueyin, but now she was forcing him to drive Aunt Qing away. At this moment, he was still full of resentment towards Shangguan Yueyin in his heart.

Seeing that he was still stubborn, the Queen Mother frowned slightly and said sternly, "I am the Queen Mother and your biological sister. Do you still think that my meddling in the Shangguan family's affairs is too much?"

"I dare not, but my brother feels that Your Majesty is too partial to Yueyin."

"It is because of your favoritism that Yue Yin has become so spoiled and willful."

"This is just a small matter, why did she have to make it so embarrassing? Besides, doesn't she know that family disgrace should not be made public?"

The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "She is spoiled and willful. As for your own daughter's personality, I'm afraid you, as a father, don't understand her as well as I, as her aunt."

"In my heart, Yueyin has always been well-educated, gentle and generous, and has never been arrogant or willful."

"Le Yan, come and tell me what happened." The Queen Mother believed that this matter was definitely not initiated by Shangguan Yueyin.

Shen Leyan told the whole story in detail, especially focusing on Shangguan Yuefei's unreasonable behavior and how Concubine Qing used moral blackmail.

Some of the ladies who knew about it also echoed indignantly. Even if Shangguan Rui didn't believe Shen Leyan's words, he couldn't help but believe it after seeing so many people saying it...

The Queen Mother was also unusually emotional after hearing this and said, "Brother, you heard it all, right? You said that with an unqualified father like you, if I don't show some favor to her, how will Yueyin cope with it?"

"Do you still think Yue Yin is spoiled and willful? Who on earth doesn't know that family disgrace shouldn't be made public? If you still don't understand, I think it's better for you to give up the position of Patriarch of the Shangguan Family."

Shangguan Rui finally realized that he was really wrong this time. It turned out that the instigators of this matter were Shangguan Yuefei and Qing Yi Niang, whom he had always protected...

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, his face changed drastically, and he angrily slapped Shangguan Yuefei, "Rebellious girl! Kneel down and apologize to your sister!"

"I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will remember today's lesson and will never make the same mistake again!"

The Queen Mother didn't know what she was thinking and didn't answer for a while. As the daughter of the Shangguan family, she certainly wanted to support the Shangguan family and make her family prosperous.

Besides, Shangguan Rui is his own brother. Even though he is somewhat incompetent, they are still family after all. As long as he can repent, there is no need to be ruthless...

The eldest princess noticed the awkward atmosphere and deflated it, saying, "Mother, Your Majesty, today is my birthday. Let's not let this little thing dampen everyone's spirits."

"Since Lord Shangguan knows he's wrong, why not just make a big deal out of a small matter? As long as he treats Yueyin well in the future, that's what you, Queen Mother, want the most, isn't it?"

The Queen Mother nodded. "Yun'er makes sense. What do you think, Emperor?"

Emperor Yong'an nodded without objection, of course. He didn't want to get involved in this matter in the first place. After all, it was the Empress Dowager's family, not a matter of state.

He couldn't possibly charge his uncle with the crime of deceiving the emperor and execute his entire clan just because Shangguan Rui didn't handle his own family affairs properly...

"Since the princess has said so, then so be it." The emperor waved his hand.

"I thank Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness the Princess. I was reckless today." Shangguan Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and continued, "Since you know you've wronged Yueyin, then take her and your wife back home. It's a shame to have your family torn apart!"

Shangguan Rui immediately agreed, "Of course, I will personally go and bring the lady back today."

When the Queen Mother mentioned this, Shangguan Yueyin wanted to shake her head to stop her. She felt that she had become accustomed to this kind of life and was happy and at ease. She could also rely on her own efforts to ensure that her mother lived a life without worries about food and clothing.

Shen Leyan whispered to her, "Sister Yueyin, I understand your thoughts and support you. However, my aunt's condition has gradually improved. If you can return to the mansion and take good care of her, she will recover faster."

"Besides, Lord Shangguan and my aunt are husband and wife. He hasn't done anything to hurt my aunt. Let's take this opportunity to see what my aunt wants!"

Shangguan Yueyin finally nodded and agreed. It really depends on her mother's wishes. If her mother is unwilling, she will support her mother's decision no matter what.

Emperor Yong'an also took this opportunity to mention Yueyin's marriage to the empress dowager and discussed it with her. After hearing what Shen Lebai did to Shangguan Yueyin, the empress dowager finally decided to grant the two a marriage.

In fact, when the Queen Mother inquired about Shen Leyan, she already knew what kind of person Shen Lebai was. She also believed that children from the Shen family must have good character!

Just looking at Shen Leyan, she likes her very much, and her brother must be a man worthy of trust. The most important thing is that Yue Yin seems to like him too, so it can be considered a good marriage.

"Since it's the eldest princess' birthday today, such a happy day, I'm planning to add a happy event. What do you think, Yun'er?"

The princess readily agreed, "I will obey your majesty."

"Since that's the case, I've decided to arrange a marriage between Yueyin and the eldest son of the Shen family today. What do you think?"

"I think it's a good idea. I've heard that Master Shen is truly exceptional, and he's Miss Shen's brother. With Yueyin and Miss Shen's relationship, it must be a great match."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, then turned to ask Yueyin if she liked this marriage.

Shangguan Yueyin was still in shock. Under everyone's expectant gaze, she shyly agreed, "Yueyin, it's all up to my aunt."

"Okay! It's settled then!" The Queen Mother's smile became even more intense at this moment.

Everyone hurriedly complimented the Queen Mother on her wisdom and began to congratulate Lord Shangguan and Shangguan Yueyin.

Shen Leyan was also surrounded by the crowd. Since Shen Lebai was not there, she was the only one who thanked everyone on her brother's behalf...

In fact, Shen Leyan was also a little stunned when she suddenly heard the news. She didn't expect that Sister Yueyin and Brother's marriage would be settled so quickly.

Although the imperial decree granting the marriage hadn't come down yet, the Empress Dowager had already made the decision in front of everyone, so it was a done deal...

She was really surprised by the sudden marriage arrangement from the Empress Dowager. If her brother knew the news, he would be overjoyed, as he finally got what he wanted.
