"Such a grand procession! Look, look! Whose house are they heading to? It looks like the new house that just moved in in the east alley."

"That family moved here not long ago. It seems to be the rented courtyard of the Jiang family's eldest son who had been living away from home. Jiang Hao's children all live there! We've seen the Jiang family members come to visit before. To be honest, the Jiang family is really shameless!"

The crowd was noisy, and people followed along at a distance to watch the spectacle.

"Give me, let me!"

Widow Wang also squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement, looking at the carriage in amazement.

"My goodness, this carriage is so magnificent! Those pendants must be real gemstones, they're dazzling!"

She had never seen such a beautiful carriage in her life. What was this carriage for? Such a beautiful carriage should be for women, right?

Where did this woman come from who has such good fortune?

Chen Ting also mingled in the crowd, standing on tiptoe to see.

Is this heading towards Jiang Changtian's house? This direction definitely leads to their house.

Could it be that the wealthy and powerful old man is going to pick someone up?

The carriage indeed stopped outside the Jiang family's courtyard.

When Madam Qin heard the knocking, she opened the courtyard gate and saw a pale-faced, beardless eunuch with an expressionless expression.

There's a sense that everything has finally settled down; what was bound to happen has finally happened.

When Eunuch Min saw that it was a beautiful woman who opened the door, he dared not look at her for too long and said, "By imperial decree, Lady Qin is hereby conferred the title of Lady Qin and is to enter the palace to accompany the Emperor."

Eunuch Min thought to himself that this must be the person he was going to meet.

The harem hadn't seen a new beauty in so many years, so the Emperor specially prepared a luxurious carriage to bring this beauty back this time. She was truly beautiful.

Seeing that the beauty remained unmoved, Eunuch Min whispered a reminder: "Beauty, hurry up and express your gratitude, this is an immense blessing!"

beautiful?

Madam Qin was disgusted upon hearing this. "A tremendous blessing? Do you want this blessing or not?"

What a bastard! He really knows how to cause trouble for his mother!

She thought the sun had risen in the west, but it turns out a leopard can't change its spots.

Okay, I guess I'll just have to wait for her here.

Beauty, go to hell with beauty.

She was once an empress, but now that she's entered the palace, what is she? She's just given a lowly concubine title?

"Oh my beauty, you're really joking." Eunuch Min didn't expect this beauty to have such a temper; her expression looked like she wanted to devour him alive.

Lin Shuyun's eyes lit up, and seeing this, she quickly pulled Qin Niangzi aside and whispered, "Aunt, we're going to the palace! We'll enjoy a life of luxury, with servants at our beck and call and we'll be surrounded by attendants! Our good days are about to begin!"

She's never seen what the palace looks like before, and she wants to go too, to try the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and to see what mountains of gold and silver look like.

Qin Niangzi looked constipated and glared at Lin Shuyun, saying, "Look at how pathetic you are."

Lin Shuyun smiled and turned to look at Eunuch Min, "Eunuch, has the Emperor said whether I can go with him?"

"This... His Majesty did not give any instructions."

With a smile, Eunuch Min replied to Lin Shuyun that his godfather, Eunuch Li, had instructed that no one in this small courtyard should be offended.

Knowing that her family wouldn't have a peaceful life if she didn't go, Qin Niangzi patted Lin Shuyun on the shoulder.

"I'll go and check things out first, then I'll bring you to the palace to enjoy a life of luxury."

So what if I have to go to the palace? Who's afraid of who?

Her son is still in the palace; she absolutely has to go.

Is that bastard Xuanyuan Hongye getting too complacent? Well then, she'll go in and add fuel to the fire for him.

"Aunt, if I become rich and powerful, don't forget me." Lin Shuyun said, biting her handkerchief and waving goodbye with tears in her eyes.

Qin Niangzi gave Lin Shuyun a knowing look, then turned and gracefully boarded the carriage.

"I'm seated firmly, let's begin."

Eunuch Min twitched his eyelids.

"Get started!"

After saying that, she wanted to slap herself immediately. Only the Emperor and Empress could use the phrase "Let us depart," how dare a mere beauty like herself use it?

Min Gonggong remembered his godfather's instructions and dared not say anything more.

Only after the luxury cars and beautiful women had gone far away did the crowd of onlookers dare to squeeze in.

"Madam Lin, what were those people doing just now? Why was Madam Qin taken away?" Chen Ting was puzzled as to why Madam Qin was taken away.

what happened?

Lin Shuyun yawned, as if she hadn't heard.

Chen Ting's face turned pale. Just as she was about to speak, she was pushed aside by someone.

Aunt Li, who sells chickens, ducks, and geese, hurriedly asked, "Madam Jiang, please tell the neighbors, what a beautiful carriage! Who is it coming to pick up from your house?"

Lin Shuyun often bought chickens, ducks, and geese from Aunt Li. When she heard Aunt Li call her Madam Jiang, she smiled and said, "My aunt has been favored by the Emperor and has been made a concubine to accompany him in the palace!"

Aunt Li's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "My goodness! But it's normal for someone as beautiful as a fairy to be like that. Your family is going to be rich!"

Her son had met Lady Qin once by chance and even wanted to marry her. Luckily, she didn't have the nerve to bring it up, otherwise she would have offended the Emperor and the Empress. How many lives does she have?

"What? She's entered the palace and been made a concubine? Isn't she your aunt?" Chen Ting exclaimed in surprise.

How can this be?

Qin Niangzi looks beautiful, but... but she's so old, and I heard she's a widow.

"Is there a problem? My aunt is so beautiful, it's not surprising that she might become an empress someday." Lin Shuyun said and went into the courtyard.

Chen Ting quickly followed and her eyes lit up when she saw Old Man Xu squatting in the yard.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? Let me help you. I love helping poor, helpless elderly people."

Old Xu got angry as soon as he heard that, "Pitiful? Which eye of yours saw that this old man is pitiful? You're bad luck! Get out!"

Did that unfilial son even know he was here? He just took him away so openly and without saying a word.

Does he even respect his father?!

Old Xu was usually all smiles and carefree, but right now he was in a bad mood, and someone just had to walk right into his trap.

Chen Ting was surprised by Old Man Xu's bad attitude towards her, and her eyes immediately reddened. "Old man, what did I do wrong? Why are you so mean to me? I bought you so many things before, and I even bought you wine to drink."

Why is she being so obsequious?

"Stop, stop! I didn't take any of those things. I gave them all back to you. It's not like I took advantage of you."

Old Xu picked at his ear. "You're just a young girl. It's better to straighten out your thoughts than anything else!"

"Don't give me that pitiful act. I have Yun'er, and so many filial sons and grandsons serving me in the courtyard. Which eye of yours saw me as pitiful?"

"I... Humph, you've really taken my kindness for granted. I'm never helping you again!" Chen Ting turned and ran away angrily.

This family is so annoying, so incredibly annoying.

"Then I really thank you. You'd better not come again." Old Xu thought this woman was simply insane.

It was noisy outside, with people knocking on the door incessantly.

Lin Shuyun slowly locked the door, plugged her ears, and went to sleep.
