”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? ”
