Chapter 443 Changning County Lady
Shen Jingyu was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of Baoqin in disbelief.
Baoqin nodded to her excitedly: "Miss, it's the imperial edict... The imperial edict will arrive soon..."
Shen Jingyu's throat tightened, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should be ecstatic or worried. She only felt a sense of unreality throughout her body.
Did Xiao Yuncheng...really do it?
When she was being laughed at and criticized by everyone?
Should he still marry him regardless of other people's opinions?
Shen Jingyu forced a long-lost smile onto her stiff face. Because she had wounds on her face, the scabs and healing process of those wounds involved her skin and flesh, so she had not been able to make any big expressions for a long time.
Qin Guiqiong and Lou Yulan looked at each other and were shocked.
Lou Yulan didn't expect that even though Shen Jingyu was in this state, she still had the ability to seduce Xiao Yuncheng.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there is no possibility for her and Prince Song to be together anymore.
Qin Guiqiong's thoughts were even more complicated. She thought Shen Jingyu had no hope, but her family's Lan Jie'er would eventually come to the fore. Unexpectedly...
But no matter what, this is always good for them.
At that moment, Qin Guiqiong looked at Qin Xuerong and Old Madam Qin, choking with excitement and saying, "I knew Sister Yu would be right. Sister Yu is well-deserving of marrying the Eighth Prince. Among all the ladies in the capital, no one is more worthy of him than Sister Yu."
Qin Xuerong smiled with tears in her eyes. She felt that after being suppressed for so long, she finally felt proud.
"Master, look how hard-working Sister Yu is! No matter how high others rise, they can never be as good as our own daughter. If anything happens to our Shen family in the future, we still have to count on our own child." Qin Xuerong glanced in the direction of Shen Shuyi, hinting at something.
Shen Jingchuan was speechless for a moment. Like Shen Jingyu, he also felt that it was not real enough.
Old Madam Shen had been recuperating for a long time. She was originally worried about Shen Jingyu's face and Shen Jingzhen's ruined reputation, but she didn't expect that there would be a silver lining after all. The Shen family would actually be able to produce a royal son or grandson in the future!
"That's cause for celebration! It is indeed cause for celebration!" Old Madam Shen said with a smile.
Shen Jingchuan frowned: "Okay, don't be too happy yet, quickly call someone to receive the decree, prepare tea, and respectfully welcome the emperor's will!"
"Yes, yes! Go and call for help!"
For a moment, the entire Shen Mansion was busy with ecstasy.
Zhang Jinping stood aside, looking at Qin Xuerong's flamboyance, and felt a breath held in her heart, thinking that she might be able to turn things around this time!
She really didn't understand why Qin Xuerong was so lucky.
Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged, but he really didn't expect that Xiao Yuncheng would actually ask for Shen Jingyu's hand in marriage.
This... is really unreasonable.
After all, although Xiao Yuncheng was not considered smart, he did not look like a fool at all. Moreover, even if he was bewitched, how could Concubine Jing nod her head?
Unless there is something else worth gaining from Shen Jingyu.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi looked at Shen Jingyu not far away again.
As if noticing her gaze, Shen Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at her. The two of them stared at each other from a distance, neither of them losing out.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold and calm, while Shen Jingyu was also elegant and calm.
Shen Jingyu slowly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Shen Shuyi, I have endured and given in for a long time, all for this day. When I sit in that position, I will settle accounts with you one by one!
The next moment, the eunuch's sharp voice rang out: "The imperial edict has arrived, the Shen family accepts it~!"
Immediately afterwards, the chief eunuch Li Yun, holding the imperial edict in his hand, walked into the front yard of the Shen Mansion, accompanied by several guards and junior eunuchs.
"Lord Shen, there is a baby in your Shen family. Get ready to receive the imperial decree!" As he spoke, Li Yun raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Shen Shuyi.
Shen Jingchuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Li, please sit down for a moment. Everyone in the mansion will be here soon."
Li Yun smiled and said, "No hurry."
Before long, the Shen family's group arrived one after another, and for a while, the front yard of the mansion was bustling with activity.
Shen Jingzhen naturally also got the news. The scar on her face was still there. She spent a lot of effort to remove it but failed. Moreover, the time was still short and she didn't know how it would look like after it recovered.
But seeing that Shen Jingyu's face had recovered a lot, she felt more and more that Qin Xuerong and Old Madam Qin were biased. They had secret methods but were unwilling to give them to her.
"Miss, please go quickly. Otherwise, if the news gets to the ears of the nobles in the palace, it will be a crime of disrespect!" the maid advised anxiously.
Shen Jingzhen sneered: "She was named the Eighth Prince's Consort, what should I do? See how proud she is?"
She never thought that Shen Jingyu would be able to sit in that position in the end!
When she thought about her marriage with Feng Bochang, she felt very upset, especially... she was pregnant now...
"Miss, this is not the time to act foolishly. You might lose your head if you are not careful!!!" The maid was really scared.
The rule of the Daqian Dynasty was that when an imperial edict arrived, everyone in the mansion had to come out to receive it as a sign of respect.
After hearing this, Shen Jingzhen reluctantly stood up. She adjusted her hair and tried her best to cover the wound on her cheek, but no matter how hard she tried, most of it was still exposed.
"Shen Jingyu! I'm not done with you!" Shen Jingzhen gritted her teeth.
*
Soon, everyone from the Shen Mansion arrived.
Li Yun stood up and said, "Everyone, please accept my order."
"We accept your order!" Shen Jingchuan, Shen Jingzhou and everyone in the Shen family knelt down together.
Li Yun then unfolded the imperial edict and said in a sharp voice: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Shuyi, is prudent, gentle, kind, kind-hearted, gentle and dignified, and both virtuous and talented. She is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager. She is hereby conferred the title of Princess of Changning County, with a fief of 100 yuan. This is my decree~!"
"Your Highness, I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"
Li Yun closed the imperial edict and handed it to Shen Jingchuan. He looked at Shen Shuyi with a smile and said, "Master Shen, Second Miss Shen, congratulations."
Shen Jingchuan immediately asked his attendant to stuff a big purse into Li Yun's pocket, and said with a smile: "Please take a seat, eunuch. It's really tiring for you to make this trip. It's freezing cold, please have a cup of hot tea."
Since it was a happy occasion, the Shen family appreciated the offer, and Li Yun naturally did not refuse.
After Shen Shuyi stood up, he was also a little dazed, as if he did not expect that the imperial edict would be for him.
The county lord?
This has never happened in my previous life.
It seems that the suffering he had endured in his previous life was not in vain, and those twenty beatings were not in vain.
It was just that the reward from the Queen Mother came too quickly. I was afraid... it wasn't just because she had the shadow of Princess Changle in her...
Princess Changning.
Changning Changle...
Shen Shu thought that, just like wanting to confer the title of king on the second prince, this title was also a way for the Queen Mother to commemorate the deceased eldest princess.
I don't ask for long-lasting happiness, I just ask for long-lasting peace.
May you always be at peace throughout your life.
Madam Qin and her companions were even more impatient than before. Qin Xuerong was the most impatient. She couldn't help but chase after them and said with a smile, "Eunuch, is this imperial decree wrong? His Majesty... doesn't have any other decree?"
