The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

After hearing this, Xianglan's eyes suddenly lit up.

She leaned close to Shen Qiyin's ear and whispered, unable to hide her excitement: "Miss, is this the imperial decree granting marriage?"

"Yeah, right?"

"It must be, right?"

Shen Qiyin's reaction was a little confused.

is it?

The “surprise” Xiao Yan mentioned last night, was it referring to their marriage?

She thought that given his personality, he must have done something "bad" to be a surprise.

Shen Qiyin went to the main hall full of suspicion, but found that even the sick old lady Shen had arrived, but the head of the family, Shen Cang, was nowhere to be seen.

There was a faint smile on E Mingfu's face.

When the servant poured him more tea, he raised his hand to block it and said politely, "No need, I just had a cup."

What he meant was that he had been waiting for a while.

He is the most respected eunuch in front of Emperor Xuanwu. Looking at the entire court, there are probably not many people who dare to make him wait like this!

Old Madam Shen was so anxious that she kept coughing. She said to the servants waiting, "Why don't you send someone over quickly!"

After that, a little maid replied boldly: "... Already, two groups have gone."

"But for some reason, the master hasn't come yet." The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, until finally, in front of Madam Shen's murderous gaze, she completely disappeared.

Refusing to accept the imperial edict is equivalent to disobeying the imperial order, which is a serious crime!

Even though Old Madam Shen didn't understand the situation, she knew the seriousness of the matter, so she quickly said to Shen Qiyin, "Second girl, hurry up! Go and see what happened to your father."

"Ah."

Even if Madam Shen didn't say anything, she would still go and take a look.

curious……

Her father had always been a coward, afraid of death. What had happened that made him refuse to accept even the imperial edict?

"Thank you for waiting here, sir. I will be back soon."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Facing Shen Qiyin, E Mingfu's attitude was still very polite.

With a slight nod, Shen Qiyin took people to Shen Cang's study.

When he was not going to Jiang Wan's courtyard, he lived here.

The door of the study was closed and a pile of sharp broken porcelain pieces were scattered on the steps.

There were two servants standing below, looking anxious and ready to cry. When they saw Shen Qiyin, they rushed forward to "complain" as if they had seen a savior, "Second Miss, you are here!"

"For some reason, the master got so angry that he wouldn't even let us into the house."

"Yeah yeah."

"But the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict is still waiting in front. Look here..."

There was no special expression on Shen Qiyin's face, but it made people feel at ease for some reason, and the two people's speech speed, which was almost burning their mouths, slowed down unconsciously, and they explained the whole cause and effect in detail.

turn out to be--

Early this morning, just as the sky was getting light, Shen Cang suddenly started shouting, perhaps because he was dazed from sleep or for some other reason.

The servants went in to check what was going on, but he came out with a bunch of messy things.

After a while, he asked for water again.

"I thought the master wanted to wash his face, so I brought a basin of hot water in. But the master suddenly got angry and poured the whole basin of water on me."

Speaking of this, the little maidservant was still crying out of grievance.

Shen Qiyin was also confused: "Why is he asking for water if he's not going to wash his face?" Is he practicing swimming?

"Master said he wanted to take a bath."

"Bath?!" So early in the morning?

"Ah."

Bath water is not like face washing water, which can't be boiled by just scooping two scoops of water. But the big bucket of water had to be boiled. And because they were slow in delivering the hot water, the master got very angry.

Suddenly remembering something, the little maid said, "Oh! By the way, Miss, just now when I came to invite the master to the main hall to receive the order, I heard what seemed to be the sound of water in the room."

Xianglan was shocked: "Still taking a bath?!" Is this a bath or shedding skin?

Did it fall into the cesspool?

Shen Qiyin's eyes fell on the two wooden doors and asked, "Didn't you say that His Majesty had issued an order?"

"I said it, but the master didn't respond."

"I once had the courage to open the door and take a look, but I was nearly hit on the head by a vase thrown by the master." She was still scared at this moment.

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin was silent for a moment, then walked towards the door decisively.

"Father……"

Bang!

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the room, as if something heavy had hit the door, shaking it.

Then came Shen Cang's hoarse and cold voice: "Get lost!"

But before he could finish his words, Shen Qiyin kicked the study door open with a bang!

"The father-in-law who came to deliver the imperial edict has been waiting for a long time. Why is father still hesitating?"

Shen Cang was startled.

"Ah! Don't come in, don't come over!" He screamed in shock, and Xianglan got goosebumps all over her body. She always felt that his reaction was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

Shen Qiyin stood at the door and did not go in because he could faintly hear the sound of water coming from the house.

I'm still washing...

She turned her head slightly and said to the servant behind her, "Go and help father change his clothes."

"Yes."

The two servants responded and went straight into the room and behind the screen.

Who would have thought that when Shen Cang saw them, he was like seeing a ghost, and he yelled, "What are you doing?"

"Get away!"

"Do not touch me!"

"It's dirty, so dirty, get out!"

"I finally cleaned it a little bit, but it's dirty again..."

Xianglan was stunned. There seemed to be a "ding" sound in her head, which made her feel as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

He really fell into the cesspool!

However, the two servants looked at Shen Cang, who looked like he was going to bite someone, and were afraid to take action for a moment.

It was not until they caught a glimpse of Shen Qiyin standing at the door that they felt confident. The two of them exchanged glances and pounced on him. One of them controlled Shen Cang's arms from behind, and the other lifted his legs. Together, they lifted him onto the bed.

Shen Cang struggled hard, using his hands and feet, and shouting as he struggled, just like a pig that was caught and slaughtered during the New Year.

The two servants were going to dress him, but they saw something, and one of them ran out in a panic and said to Shen Qiyin, "Second Miss, the master is injured."

"Injuried?"

"Yes, his body is covered with wounds, bruises and purples, and some look like whip wounds, and they are still bleeding."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin's eyes dimmed.

But not worried.

She said, "Let him dress up first and go to receive the imperial edict."

But when the servant touched Shen Cang, it was as if he wanted to kill him.

After a lot of trouble, we finally got him ready to go out and meet people.

Shen Cang's emotions have stabilized at this moment. It's not that he has regained his sanity, but it's as if after being bullied badly, he gave up the futile resistance and was forced to accept reality.

The father and daughter walked one after the other in silence.

Shen Qiyin looked at Shen Cang's awkward walking posture from behind, with doubts in his heart.

Shen Cang himself was also puzzled.

How could this be?

Why does it become like this!

I was sleeping soundly in the room, but when I opened my eyes, I saw a big man all over me!

He cried out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered him. He shouted until his throat was broken, but no one came to save him.

He had lived for nearly half of his life, and had never seen such a scene, let alone thought about it.

Those beasts bullied him in various ways, using whips and wax to hit him. There was not a single good spot on his body, and his buttocks still hurts now.

In the end, he didn't know whether he fainted from the pain or from exhaustion.

Anyway, when he opened his eyes again, he was the only one left.

He couldn't understand what was going on at all and would rather believe that it was a nightmare, but the wounds all over his body reminded him that everything was real.

He wished he could just hang himself with a rope!

Shen Cang's mind was in a mess and he was thinking about all sorts of things along the way. He didn't even notice when he arrived and just stood there straight.

It was not until Old Madam Shen knelt beside him and tugged at the corner of his robe that he came to his senses. Looking at the bright yellow imperial edict in E Mingfu's hand, his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"The Emperor's order: I have heard that the daughter of Concubine Hui's younger sister, Li, is skilled and generous, kind and honest, and has outstanding character and appearance. The Empress Dowager and I are very pleased to hear this."

"I have specially betrothed her to Mr. Shen as his wife. It can be said that it was made for each other. In order to make her beautiful, I have chosen a good date to get married."

"Hereby—"
