Chapter 667 Princess Mingzhu
"Eunuch Li, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person. Please wait for me and my family to pack up and I will come immediately to receive your order." Shen Jingchuan said politely.
Li Yun smiled and said, "Master Shen, you don't have to be polite. We will be waiting for you."
Soon, everyone in the Shen residence, including the Qin family, knelt to receive the imperial edict. Shen Shuyi looked normal, as he had not expected the imperial edict to come so soon.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Changning County Lady Shen, born into a distinguished family, is virtuous, intelligent, always doing good, and rich in talent and learning. She is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager and me. In recognition of her achievements and commending her virtues, I hereby confer the title of Mingzhu County Lady on Changning County Lady. I now grant her a mansion, 100 acres of land, and 5,000 taels of silver..."
Li Yun finished reading it in one breath, and then looked at Shen Shuyi, Shen Jingchuan and his group with a smile: "Congratulations, Princess, congratulations, Lord Shen!"
Shen Jingchuan had been sweating, fearing that the imperial edict would end with accountability, but he didn't expect that after holding his breath and listening to the end, he found that it was all praise for Shen Shuyi.
This is... conferring the title of princess to Sister Yi?
Their Shen family is not a member of the royal family, nor does they have any royal blood. Unexpectedly, they would have a princess now. This is really... a blessing that they have accumulated over several lifetimes!
Old Madam Shen was also stunned, staring blankly at Shen Shuyi, who had a calm expression.
The girl's face looked a little pale, and her brows had become much more relaxed than when she just returned home. Now she stood gracefully in the courtyard, with a radiance all over her body that was in no way inferior to the scorching sun.
Did she... expect this?
Old Madam Shen looked gloomy. Could it be that she was really old?
Although women's status has always been inferior to that of men, Jingchuan has been working hard for half his life and has barely gained a foothold in the third-rank position of Shangshu.
Where is Sister Keyi?
Without relying on a penny from her family, she managed to win the position of a princess of the first rank!
Qin Xuerong and the Qin family had ugly expressions on their faces. Qin Xuerong could not help but look at Li Yun and said, "Eunuch, does His Majesty have no other wishes?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "What else does Madam Shen want?"
"That Nanny Zhong...did she confess everything?" Qin Xuerong couldn't help but ask. After all, Nanny Zhong's son and husband were still in their hands.
Li Yun said: "Oh, speaking of this, I remember it now."
As soon as Li Yun said this, the eyes of the Qin family members fell on him, with a hint of expectation.
Although, now that His Majesty has issued the decree of commendation, it is highly unlikely that Shen Shuyi will be punished, but... maybe, he will also think of the contributions of their Qin family?
What a pity! Shen Shuyi is such a bastard, but his methods are really amazing!
They worked hard and planned for decades, and finally made a wedding dress for her!
"Eunuch, has His Majesty remembered anything?" Old Lady Qin immediately had someone stuff a thick bag of silver into Li Yun's hand.
Lou Zhengtao, Qin Guiqiong and others were all looking forward to it.
After all, even if you're hanging a donkey with a carrot, you still have to give it some sweet treats from time to time.
But unfortunately, the Qin family hasn't enjoyed any benefits for a long time.
But to the disappointment of the group, Li Yun confiscated the silver: "Madam Qin, His Majesty has ordered that your Qin family has been harboring witnesses for many years and has not reported them. You have also threatened your husband and his children. You are disloyal and greedy for small profits. I order that all the Qin family's property be confiscated, and all the Qin family officials in the court be demoted to commoners."
"What did you say!" Old Madam Qin's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
Qin Guiqiong couldn't believe it, Lou Zhengtao was even more dumbfounded, and the two sons of the Qin family who came to join in the fun were the most uneasy.
"What do you mean? I lost my official position?"
"Mom! This...what's going on! My seventh-rank official position is also an official position!"
Qin Xuerong rushed forward, pushed away the people blocking her way, and grabbed Li Yun's sleeve: "How is this possible? How could this happen!"
Li Yun smiled, flicked his whisk, and said politely, "Madam Shen, if you don't believe us, you can go ask His Majesty."
"No... no, His Majesty has nothing else to say to Shen Shuyi except commendation?" Qin Xuerong's eyes were red. She didn't expect Shen Shuyi's luck to be so good.
Li Yun pulled back his sleeves and said with a smile, "Madam Shen, Princess Mingzhu has found out the truth about the death of the late Second Prince and eased the rift between His Majesty and the late Second Prince. It can be said that she has made great contributions. His Majesty is not in a hurry to reward her. What else do you want?"
Seeing that Li Yun was a little unhappy, Shen Jingchuan came to his senses and pulled her back.
"I'm sorry, Eunuch Li, Qin had hysteria a few days ago, and her mind has been unclear, so she is talking nonsense."
Shen Shuyi chuckled. Look, her father now remembered Qin Xuerong's hysteria.
Qin Xuerong was filled with rage, and the Qin family members were completely depressed, with despair in their eyes.
Qin Xuerong turned around and found the doorman who had just come in to inform her, and without caring about her image, she grabbed him by the collar.
"Didn't you just say it's not good? What's wrong with you? Why are you not good!!!"
The doorman was frightened, his face turned pale, and he trembled as he said, "Madam, it's really bad. The Sixth Young Master is back!"
"What did you say?" Qin Xuerong was stunned for a moment, and her eyes turned into ecstasy.
"You mean Brother Lin is back?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The concierge nodded vigorously, and Old Lady Shen's face also showed some joy: "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"
Shen Jingchuan was also stunned for a moment. It seemed that he had not heard from his son for a long time, so he was particularly dazed.
"It's a happy thing that Brother Lin is back. I think he will grow a lot after this trip." Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice with a complicated look in his eyes.
Several people were caught up in this emotion and seemed not to notice the words "not good" that the doorman had said earlier.
Lou Zhengtao was the first to speak: "Isn't it a good thing that you're back? What are you yelling about, you servant? You keep saying bad things. Aren't you deliberately trying to harm us?"
If he hadn't shouted first, would they have thought that Shen Shuyi had lost his heart?
When they came to their senses, they saw that the doorman looked pale, hesitant, and too guilty to say a word.
"Why are you hesitating?" Shen Jingchuan frowned.
"Master, then...Young Master Liuliu, he...he..." The doorman looked grim and didn't know how to start.
"If you have something to say, just say it out loud. What's wrong with the servants you keep in the Shen family?" Lou Zhengtao scolded rudely, like a firecracker.
The doorman said in embarrassment: "Sixth...Sixth Young Master is injured, you...you should take care of it yourself."
"Where is he?" Qin Xuerong couldn't help but think of what Shen Shuyi said about Lin Ge'er breaking his leg.
no, I can not!
Mother had sent someone to check before, and it was confirmed that Lin Ge'er had a broken leg, but...but she would never believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes!
It must be this bastard who deliberately deceived her!
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you invite the Sixth Young Master in?"
