"Not only that!" Senior Servant Zhen hurried to help Madam Xiao up from the ground. "The emperor even conferred the title of County Governor to Third Miss. Third Miss has already become someone of high rank. He doesn't even have a eldest miss."

"..." Are you telling the truth? " This wave of happiness was more than just a wave. Auntie Xiao could not believe her ears.

"It's absolutely true. The eunuch in the palace came to announce the decree just now. The madame, the master, and the first wife all came out together and kneeled on the ground to receive the decree. The third miss has already received the reward and returned to the Clear Spring Hall."

Auntie Xiao abruptly stood up, a proud smile flashing across her face. "Go, let's go to Clear Spring Academy."

Today, the madame's ban on her entry into the Clear Spring Pavilion was no longer on her mind!

As she spoke, she walked in the direction of Clear Spring Academy, her aura returning to normal. Just as she was running out of the door, she bumped into Aunt Zhao, who was about to enter. Without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped her fiercely in the face, spitting:

"Bitch, your days have come to an end! "Wait for me to deal with you!"

Auntie Zhao had just found out that Auntie Xiao had been promoted to an equal wife, so the whole estate would be a one-in-one house. Although she was furious, she could only cover her mouth in the end and not reply.

Aunt Xiao bustled through the corridors all the way until she finally ran back to Clear Spring Courtyard. When she pushed open the door, she saw —

Lian Shiya knelt on the ground as she held the imperial edict in both hands. She stood rooted to the spot, not moving at all. Behind her were two chests full of gold and silver treasures. These were all bestowed by the emperor.

Lian Shiya was slightly dazed as she asked, "Mom, I-am I the County Lord?"

Auntie Xiao nodded vigorously, caressing her thin face. "Yes, you're the county governor, and I'm an equal wife, so you're no longer a concubine. You're the first daughter."

"Really, really?" Lian Shiya asked in disbelief.

"It's all true! On the other hand, the jewels and silks around you are a reward that your uncle has requested for us. He is now the prince of the country, your second cousin is the young duke, your aunt is the first wife of the empress of First-grade, and even your cousin Xiao Rou is conferred with the title of prefecture lord He Yun. "

Lian Shiya listened to Aunty Xiao speak and touched the gold, silver, and jewelry in front of her. Finally, she was sure that everything was real!

Haha, hahaha …" She suddenly laughed out loud, her eyes revealing crazy pride. "That's great! Great! I am not born of a concubine, I am a second daughter! Furthermore, I'm the county governor of the imperial palace. What can Lian Ruyue count as in front of me right now? Did she have a rank? "No, she's just a virgin!

"Yes!" "Ya Er, now Lian Ruyue and Rongxue, these two wretched people are nothing at all!" Auntie Xiao snorted coldly, feeling extremely proud of herself.

"Mother!" Lian Shiya hugged the bestowed silk cloth to her chest and said, "I want to make all these fine clothings bestowed by the emperor into beautiful clothes. I want to be more beautiful and dazzling than anyone in this mansion; I want to be like before, no one can compare to me, not even the moon!"

Fuan Courtyard.

Blue Dai-xiang stood by Lian Ruyue's side, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Lian Ruyue was still calm and unhurried, as if she was completely unaffected by the outside world. She was seriously playing chess with the first wife.

"Pa Da …" The first wife dropped the white piece in her hands onto the ground. She couldn't hold it in anymore and asked, "Yue Er, why aren't you nervous? Xiao Zhenhai's current status is enough to contend with your father. Once he returns, Auntie Xiao and Shiya will be bestowed with the title of 'Yue Er'. What should I do? "

He said, "Mother, Xiao Zhenhai obtained complete victory, repelling the army, as well as obtaining great wealth from the Great Liaoning Province every year. This has already fulfilled the Emperor's wish for many years, and has also filled up the country's treasury, so it would not be an exaggeration for the Emperor to agree to let his little sister live a decent life in the family."

"But …" The First Lady was still frowning.

"Mother, everything is within our expectations. We don't need to be nervous. We need to use those eight words to deal with this situation." Lian Ruyue picked up the white piece the First Madam dropped on the chess board and put it back in her hand.

"But Yue Er, no matter how many techniques Xiao Xian Min has, she is only a girl from the backyard. If I were to pinch her seven inches, she wouldn't be able to move even an inch." But Xiao Zhenhai, he is a true scorpion! "

Scorpion? Lian Ruyue's indifferent face revealed a faint smile as she said, "Mother, do you know what Poison Scorpion is afraid of?"

"What?" the First Lady asked urgently.

"Afraid of the light." Lian Ruyue said as she put down another black piece.

Afraid of the light? The First Madam pondered over the meaning behind Lian Ruyue's words. At this moment, Huang Cen from Qingan Courtyard came over to invite Lian Yingyue over, saying that the Old Madam had someone to invite her over.

Lian Ruyue put down the chess pieces, and the maid went over to tidy up her clothes. She urged the eldest wife to rest early, and after she had everything, she went to Qing An Courtyard.

As soon as she walked through the gates of Qing An Courtyard, Lian Ru Yue felt a heavy and serious atmosphere. Lian Rou sat on the big wooden chair while Lian Yan Qing sat to the side with a tense expression.

"Grandmother, father." She went up to pay her respects and sat down in her place.

"Pah!" Even his mother slammed the back of the chair in anger and said, "No matter how many meritorious deeds he did, he still doesn't have the authority to take care of my Lian Family's affairs! The Xiao family's fate was that of the Heaven Destroyer, Solitary Star, yet he asked the Emperor to bestow them as an equal wife. What did this mean? Is this a blatant insult to our Lian Family? "

Lian Yan Qing snorted, "Relying on his military exploits, he was able to do whatever he wanted. His hand stretched out a bit too far this time, but since today was the emperor's opening words, my son naturally couldn't refuse. I can only thank him."

Lian Ruyue sat at the side, quietly listening to her mother and Lian Yanqing's conversation. She did not interrupt from beginning to end.

"As for those three girls, she doesn't have this kind of life yet she has this kind of sickly personality. After sealing the county governor, her tail will rise to the heavens. Sooner or later, something will happen to her!" If something goes wrong, it will still be our Prime Minister's fault! Xiao Zhenhai's game of chess is really long-term! " The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Her face was completely red, "Xiao Zhenhai has been suppressed by you for all these years. Now, he is finally proud. The first thing he does is think of a way to torture our family!"

As Lian Yanqing listened, his complexion became even worse.

"Yue Er, what do you think?" Lian Ma asked Lian Rue, who had been silent all this time.

Lian Ruyue said, "Grandmother, Auntie Xiao's fiancée position was opened by the emperor. Third Sister's county lord rank was issued by the emperor under an imperial decree, we absolutely cannot express any dissatisfaction in front of others. If word of this gets out, we'll be caught red-handed in front of the emperor, and have a copy of it with father in front of him. The consequences will be very serious.

"…" Actually, how could his mother not know that this was the Emperor's decision? He couldn't doubt it, but his heart had too much of an opinion of the people of the Xiao family, so he scolded them.

"Not only can we not show dissatisfaction, we should personally go to the emperor tomorrow to thank him." Lian Ruyue said. She seemed calmer than her mother and Lian Yanqing.

"Yue Er's words are reasonable. Mother, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you must not be seen through. Otherwise, Xiao Zhenhai will make a big fuss about this matter." Lian Yanqing nodded in agreement.
