After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan was immediately taken aback.

"This imperial edict...is it truly for my wife?"

Eunuch Gui patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "It's absolutely true, Lord Shen! You're so happy you've gone mad! Hurry up and send someone to invite your wife out to receive the imperial decree!"

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 usually very kind-hearted, so it's normal that she did something good that caught His Majesty's eye.

In an instant, his thoughts had already gone through a thousand turns.

Having gained a better understanding, Shen Yuan smiled broadly and said to the servant who had brought him there, "Please ask Madam to receive the imperial decree at the main gate of the Marquis's residence. Be quick!"

He then took out a heavy money bag from his bosom and handed it to Eunuch Gui with both hands: "Thank you for making this trip, sir. Please take this money to buy some tea. I hope you won't find it too much."

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!"

"You're right, sir! I was just too impatient!"

Shen Yuan bowed respectfully, feeling restless and itching to get her attention, but he had no choice but to patiently wait for his wife to arrive.

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, cupping her hands in greeting to Eunuch Gui: "Eunuch Gui, what brings you to the Marquis's residence 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 her heart she was thinking, since Eunuch Gui was waiting for her mother to come and announce the imperial decree, then the imperial decree must be for her mother.

But in my previous life, I hadn't heard of His Majesty issuing any imperial edict to the Marquis's residence at this time!

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!

When Eunuch Gui announced the imperial decree, what was 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 was overjoyed. She gave Shen Yuan a reproachful look and said, "Husband, I'm here to receive His Majesty's decree. Shouldn't I dress up nicely? Do I look good today?"

Shen Yuan turned his head and looked at her.

The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, a fair and delicate face, and her eyes were moist as she gazed at him with deep affection. Her soft body leaned towards him intentionally or unintentionally, and his heart melted.

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."

"This concubine greets Father-in-law." Aunt Qiu smiled and greeted Eunuch Gui.

Shen Yuan pulled Aunt Qiu down to kneel, unaware of the astonishment in Eunuch Gui's eyes.

After the two women and their maids and servants knelt down, Shen Yuan noticed that Shen Nanxing and her maid were still standing, and he was furious: "Shen Nanxing, kneel down now!"

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 wondering what was going on when Eunuch Gui came to issue an imperial decree. What was a concubine doing here?

Now it seems that even before the concubine was married, the scumbag father already regarded Aunt Qiu as the proper wife of the Marquis's mansion from the bottom of his heart, and even thought that the imperial decree was issued to Aunt Qiu?

When Aunt Qiu saw that she and her husband had knelt down while Shen Nanxing was still standing, she immediately became unhappy.

She frowned: "Nanxing, I know you've never liked me, but now that Eunuch Gui is going to read out the imperial edict, you can't just stop kneeling just because the edict is for me, can you?"

"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 condition. Yi'er had been beaten with a full thirty strokes of the cane! Her flesh was mangled and bloody; there wasn't a single patch of good flesh on her entire back. If it weren't for Prince Jing using century-old ginseng to keep her alive, she probably would have been beaten to death long ago...

If Shen Nanxing hadn't been so jealous and shamelessly brought the matter to the imperial court, Yi'er wouldn't have had to suffer like this.

One day, she will make that wretched girl pay! She will repay Yi'er a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the humiliation she suffered yesterday!

Seeing that Shen Nanxing still wouldn't kneel, Shen Yuan flew into a rage: "Guards, make Shen Nanxing kneel down!"
