The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

One day, an imperial edict suddenly came to the palace, saying that it was for the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But when Jiang Yutang and several other sisters knelt down, the eunuch who announced the edict read out Jiang Yunwan's name.

Jiang Yutang was stunned at first, then he seemed to have thought of something and became a little excited, "Eunuch, is this the imperial decree granting marriage?"

Mrs. Jiang looked at her in surprise.

Jiang Yutang didn't pay attention, he just stared at the eunuch waiting for his answer, and then he really heard the other party say "yes".

The smile on her face instantly brightened, "Then please announce the decree, sir."

The eunuch who announced the decree had just learned from Madam Jiang that Jiang Yunwan had changed his name to Su Yunwan and was not in the mansion at the moment.

Since the person who was to receive the edict was not present, he naturally would not announce it, so he took the imperial edict and walked back.

And the servants in the mansion who were more perceptive, under the subtle hint of the mistress, took the initiative to show him the way to Su's Restaurant.

"Please stay, sir." Jiang Yutang stopped the man, took off a transparent jade bracelet from his hand and quietly put it into his hand, then lowered his voice and asked, "May I ask who is the other party to this marriage?"

Although she had the answer in her heart, she still wanted to verify it again, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

The eunuch saw that the jade bracelet was of good quality and smiled, and replied casually: "Of course it is a nobleman in this imperial city."

Su Yutang's eyes became brighter, "Is it the Seventh Prince?"

The eunuch shook his head, "It's the Regent."

The smile on Su Yutang's face suddenly froze.

"How could it be... Could it be that my father-in-law remembered it wrongly?" She twisted her handkerchief, with a hint of luck and expectation in her eyes.

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict was a favorite of the emperor and was usually flattered by many people. He felt a little unhappy when he was suddenly questioned.

But thinking of the jade bracelet just now, he still suppressed his emotions and replied, "It can't be wrong."

"I don't believe it!" She had clearly lied to the Seventh Prince that Su Yunwan had an affair with the Regent, which prompted him to go to the palace on the spot to ask for an imperial decree to grant them a marriage.

Now that the emperor wants to grant Su Yunwan a marriage, this imperial decree should be related to the Seventh Prince. How could it be the regent who is known for his aversion to women?

Even if it was because of the life-saving grace that night, there are so many ways for the Regent to repay the favor, why would he lower his status to marry a merchant's daughter?

This must be a mistake.

The eunuch who announced the decree made a mistake!

Jiang Yunwan was so confused that he wanted to snatch the imperial edict to see its contents with his own eyes.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang noticed her abnormality early and stopped her action in time.

"Yutang, don't be so rude!" she scolded in a low voice.

Jiang Yutang hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet. Seeing her mother trying to stop her, she immediately adopted a coquettish tone, "Mom, this is the first time I've seen an imperial edict, and I want to take a look at what's on it. Please let me broaden my horizons."

Mrs. Jiang frowned.

I thought to myself: This is not a question of gaining experience or not!

She glanced in the direction of the eunuch who announced the decree, then quickly retracted her gaze and said in a low voice: "Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful will lose his head." In serious cases, it might even drag down the entire family.

"It's not that serious...right?" Jiang Yutang smiled awkwardly, "Mom, please don't bluff me."

Seeing that she almost made a big mistake without knowing it, and still looked at her with suspicion after being reminded, as if she would deceive her, Mrs. Jiang felt a headache.

She knew that Yutang was raised by merchants, so it was normal for her not to understand these things.

But Yun Wan’s figure came to my mind.

——If Ah Wan was present today, she would definitely not be rude or disrespectful.

This thought only flashed through her mind and was forcibly suppressed by Mrs. Jiang.

You shouldn't compare.

As long as we find a few good nannies for Yutang, I believe Yutang will be as outstanding as Awan in the future.

She collected her thoughts and was about to say something to Jiang Yutang, but when she turned around, there was no one there.

"Where's Yutang?"

"Madam, the third young lady said that she hasn't been back to her adoptive parents' home for a while, and she wants to go and see them today."

As soon as the eunuch who announced the imperial edict left, she followed him out.

Mrs. Jiang could see through her little thoughts, so she smiled helplessly and said, "I think she is going to ask for the imperial edict!"

Then, she seemed to suddenly think of something and looked puzzled.

"Strange, this imperial decree granting marriage was issued for Ah Wan and had nothing to do with her, so why is she so concerned about this matter? And why was she so sure from the beginning that the person Ah Wan was going to marry was the Seventh Prince, not the Regent?"

Someone beside him replied, "Maybe it's because of the previous engagement between our mansion and the Seventh Prince."

"That makes sense." Mrs. Jiang nodded slightly.

After thinking for a while, she added, "But I still think Yutang's previous reaction was a little strange."

The main thing was the smile on Yutang’s lips just now.

It's hard to describe the meaning behind it, but at first glance it feels like it has bad intentions.

Mrs. Jiang's heart tightened.

After thinking for a moment, she seemed to have made a sudden decision and said, "Let's go too."

"Where are you going, ma'am?

"The restaurant of the Su family." Madam Jiang smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes and walked out quickly. "It's a good opportunity to go and see if the calculating couple of the Su family has been treating my Ah Wan harshly these days."

……

When the Prime Minister's wife arrived at the restaurant, the eunuch who announced the imperial edict had just finished reading it and left.

Just as she was about to enter the door, she heard a sound coming from inside the house.

He paused slightly.

After thinking for a moment, she did not go in anymore. Instead, she stood there and looked inside through the half-open window beside her.

I saw a woman in an indigo dress standing up from the ground.

With a worried look on his face, he walked up to Yun Wan and held her hand.

"Yun Wan, why would His Majesty grant you and the Prince Regent a marriage? Could it be that he doesn't know that you are not the real daughter of the Prime Minister?"

The Prime Minister's wife looked at her appearance, her words and her actions and guessed that this was A Wan's biological mother.

——She was also the woman who had treated Yutang harshly for more than ten years.

Although the two had met once in a dilapidated temple more than ten years ago, so much time had passed that the Prime Minister's wife had long forgotten what she looked like.

I originally thought that she would be a shrew with a mean face, but I didn't expect that she was actually quite gentle.

Such a face should easily win the favor of others, but the Prime Minister's wife met people with prejudice and was always picky in her heart.

If the other person is kind, she feels that he is two-faced and must have evil intentions.

When the other person was well-dressed, she felt that this woman was restless and good at dressing up.

The other person looked at her daughter with concern, but she thought it was pretense and insincere.

……

In short, the Prime Minister's wife just disliked Su's mother. No matter what she did, she thought she was wrong.

When she was snorting in her heart, she heard Yiqing speak.

"That eunuch just said that he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and then he knew that I had returned to the Su family.

He knew that I was not the real daughter of the Prime Minister, but he still brought the imperial edict to read. It is obvious that the edict was issued by His Majesty to me as a person, not to me as the daughter of the Prime Minister. "

Yiqing could feel the trembling coming from those hands, and after thinking about it for a moment, she could probably guess the worry in Su's mother's heart.

He then held her hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. Since the imperial decree has been issued, there will be no problem.

Your Majesty will not be displeased because I am the daughter of an ordinary commoner and not the daughter of a prime minister."

Su's mother was silent for two seconds and said "That's good" twice, but if you look closely, you can see that her furrowed brows have not relaxed.

Yiqing was suspicious and was about to ask, but Su's mother couldn't hold back her words first.

"Can we not accept this imperial edict?" She asked carefully. When her eyes touched the bright yellow in Yiqing's hand, she panicked as if she had encountered a hot potato. Then she corrected her words, "That is to say... can this imperial edict be returned?"

No one present except Su's father expected her to say such a thing.

Especially the Prime Minister's wife standing outside the window.

For a moment she even suspected that she was hallucinating.

What did that woman say just now? Did she say she wanted to return the imperial edict?

A woman like her who would do anything to achieve wealth and glory, even went so far as to swap children. Shouldn't she be overjoyed now that she hears that her daughter is going to marry the Regent?

Even though the Regent has a bad reputation, someone like her shouldn't mind.

Why is there such a reaction now?

The Prime Minister's wife frowned.

She never doubted that she had misunderstood Su's mother. Even after seeing this scene, she only suspected that the other party was up to some bad intentions.

Any wild guessing that leads to no results is a waste of time.

The Prime Minister's wife thought that her time was quite valuable, so she straightened her clothes and planned to go in and ask directly.

Unexpectedly, just as she made a move, another voice that was extremely familiar to her sounded, and the tone was even condescending and mocking.

The Prime Minister's wife paused again.
