Shen Rong was speechless by Shen Wan and could only get angry.

The third wife took the blame from the fourth wife, "The eldest girl and the fourth girl are young and don't understand. The fourth younger brother and sister should know better. They concealed such a big thing and even Mrs. Sun was embarrassed."

The old lady's face was cold, and the fourth lady said, "It's not that I didn't tell you. I didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Wei would fall in love with Wei'er. I yelled everywhere. If I guessed wrongly what the Crown Prince of Wei meant, or was laughed at, it would be a trivial matter. If word gets out, , There is no need to implicate the prince of Wei Guogong in proposing marriage."

Things are made secret, and words are leaked.

There are not many people in the Marquis' Mansion who are looking forward to the fourth house. The eldest girl doesn't even dare to tell Wei'er, let alone her. Now she is annoyed that she keeps it secret, but she really wants to say it. They will definitely laugh at her for wishful thinking. After living under the same roof for more than ten years, she still can't understand the third wife's temperament.

Besides, she really didn't dare to think so, she just had a glimmer of hope.

Even now, the marriage was settled, and she was still in a daze. How could the Crown Prince of Wei fall in love with her daughter?

The old lady knew that the Fourth Wife was not lying, otherwise she would not have forced her, so the Fourth Wife agreed to marry her daughter to Young Master Sun San, "It will be a good thing for Pingyang Houfu if Wei'er can marry the eldest son of Wei Guogong."

The fourth wife nodded hurriedly.

The old lady was a little tired, so she waved her hand, and everyone left.

After leaving Qinghuiyuan, the third wife smiled softly and said, "Congratulations to the fourth brother and sister."

The fourth wife said, "If Wei'er marries well, the third girl will only marry better in the future. We are afraid that our Pingyang Marquis Mansion will have three princesses."

This was a nice thing to say, and the third wife's jealousy immediately disappeared.

After the third wife left with her daughter Shen Rong, Shen Wan looked at the fourth wife and hesitated to speak.

The fourth wife noticed it and said, "Is there anything you don't want to say to your fourth aunt?"

Shen Wan called the fourth wife aside and said, "Let the fourth aunt and I tell the truth. I put a mask on the fourth sister that day. It was not a coincidence. I had asked the fourth sister for a marriage hexagram at the Huguo Temple. The hexagram The elephant said that the fourth sister would be in danger of getting her eyes injured when discussing the marriage. If I can avoid this disaster and the marriage can be successful, I would like to use Kodan to make the fourth sister wear a mask."

"The hexagram also said that it would be best for the fourth sister to leave the government in the spring next year..."

"The crown prince of Wei Guogong will have his filial piety in four months, and the fourth sister will have her hairpin in only five months. According to Mrs. Wei Guogong's intention, she wants her to marry her as soon as her fourth sister has her hairpin. I think that since the hexagram has been partly efficacious, it is still If you trust me well, you can only postpone the wedding for three months."

Both the fourth wife and the fourth master thought that what happened that day was a coincidence. Shen Wan usually never drew flower patterns, but on that particular day he painted them, and they still couldn't be washed off. Shen Ying pushed the flower pattern and drew it crookedly. She had no choice but to draw it. The mask they put on seemed like someone was protecting their daughter.

Only today did the fourth wife know that it was Shen Wan who was protecting her daughter.

The fourth wife felt indescribable gratitude in her heart and said, "That hexagram has helped Wei'er avoid a disaster. I must believe it. It's just that she will leave the cabinet three months late. Mrs. Wei Guogong will not refuse to agree."

Shen Wan did not dare to talk about rebirth, so she could only use the divination to fool her. She asked Shen Wei to get married next spring because the legitimate son of the Crown Prince of Wei could not survive the winter. The Crown Prince of Wei's deceased first wife, the Crown Prince's wife, was from the Wuding Marquis Mansion. In the previous life, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion believed that the wife of the Crown Prince of Wei had failed to take good care of the young Crown Prince, which caused the young Crown Prince to contract smallpox and die young. Shen Wan did not know what was going on, but the Wu'an Marquis Mansion pursued the Crown Prince's wife's natal family. Violent beatings are a common thing in Kyoto.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Shen Wan thought it was better to avoid this winter. The young prince was fine, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion had no reason to target the fourth master. The young prince really could not avoid the smallpox plague. Shen Wei was not married yet, and Wu'an Hou There is even less reason to blame the Fourth Master.

Seeing that the fourth wife agreed, Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them turned around and saw Shen Wei looking at them suspiciously, her lips pouting so hard she could hang the pot, "Mother and eldest sister are the real mother and daughter, they always hide the secret from me."

The fourth wife couldn't help laughing, "Sisters, let's play together. Mom will go back to the North Courtyard first..."

Before the fourth wife had finished speaking, a maid ran over from a distance and said, "Eldest lady, the emperor has sent your father-in-law to the palace to announce the decree, and asked you and the second girl to go to the front yard to receive the decree."

Shen Wan was stunned.

Even if the emperor gave Shen Ying an order, how could he ask her to go with him to receive the order?

In the house, the old lady was sitting on the Arhat couch, her eyes dark and unclear.

The third wife sat down and said, "The fourth brother and sister have always been strict-mouthed. I am not surprised that she kept the matter of Wei Guogong's crown prince secret, but the eldest girl did not reveal a word..."

If the eldest girl didn't say anything, she could still think that this was just a trivial matter and not worth explaining. However, when the eldest girl took the maid and the coachman out of the house, no one reported this to them.

Moreover, Mother Wu and Ziyu who were close to the eldest girl were successively punished with sticks and sold. Several little maids in Qinglan Garden were also sent away by Mother Zhou for committing crimes. During the days when the old lady and the second wife were copying Buddhist scriptures, the eldest girl also called He entered the house and picked six maids. He refused to let Mother Cheng reprimand them and insisted on taking them directly back to Qinglan Garden to discipline them himself.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like she noticed that the old lady and the second lady were placing people around her and were on guard.

Even the third wife felt it, let alone the old lady. She clearly felt that Shen Wan was not as affectionate to her as before. After Shen Wan got engaged to Prince Ling, she no longer held hands with Shen Ying and Shen Rong. Her arms have been spoiled.

The old lady slowly fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, her eyes getting darker and darker. At this time, the maid quickly walked in and said, "Old lady, the palace sent someone to announce the decree, and asked the eldest and second girls to receive the decree together."

The old lady's brows instantly tightened.

Although the imperial edict is for Shen Wan and Shen Ying, every one of the masters of the Hou Mansion has to go and receive the edict.

The old lady stood up holding the maid's hand and went to the front yard.

In the main hall, headed by Shen Jing and a crowd of people kneeling on the floor, the father-in-law read out the imperial edict in bright yellow.

The drake's voice echoed in the main hall.

Shen Wan knelt on the ground, her brows furrowing more and more as she listened.

The first half of this imperial edict was to grant marriage to Shen Ying and Xie Jingyin. The emperor granted Shen Ying a marriage to Xie Jingyin as his concubine. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was also expected. But what completely surprised Shen Wan was the second part of the imperial edict. half.

The emperor asked her to marry Shen Ying in one day.

On the 16th of next month, when Xie Jingyan married her, Xie Jingyin would also come to pick up Shen Ying.

The emperor felt that it was a double happiness when two girls came out of the Pingyang Hou Mansion one day.

But Shen Wan only felt that bad luck was coming towards her.

So many days are not enough for Xie Jingyin and Shen Ying to choose, but they have to get together with her and Xie Jingyan.
