Madam Sheng took the lead and walked towards the front hall in quick succession.

Seeing that everyone was there, she said with a smile:

"Sorry, I came without posting a message. Is Lanyin here?"

“Several of us sisters came to see her. We heard that Rui’an had passed the imperial examination, so we gave him a big red envelope.”

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard it was silver.

She walked out, leaning on her cane, her steps unsteady.

"The red envelope? Please put it down for now, we'll deliver it to her later."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, ready to take it.

Seeing this, Madam Sheng withdrew her hand, saying, "How can that be?"

"Madam, please tell me quickly, have they not returned yet? I'll wait for them and hand them over to her personally in a moment."

The eldest princess stood behind Madam Sheng, holding a handkerchief to her lips, but her body trembled.

Han Nianyu gently squeezed her hand.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was initially quite happy.

But then I thought about it again.

Oh, he's already been divorced.

He could only lie on the ground with a bitter face, pretending to be dead.

Zou Shuang'er gritted her teeth in anger.

She vaguely remembered how Madam Sheng had hit her on the previous occasions.

Now, he stands aside, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, the old lady reached out again, "Um, Madam Sheng, shall I give it to them? I don't know when they will be back."

Seeing this, Madam Sheng had no choice but to compromise, lowering her eyes and saying, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Madam."

As she spoke, she pushed the red envelope forward little by little, just as it touched the old lady's hand.

Suddenly, Han Nianyu patted Madam Sheng on the back.

"Oh dear, Yu Rong, you've got it wrong, you've got it wrong!"

“Lan Yin divorced her husband a few days ago, we should go to Ping An Prefecture.”

Madam Sheng tucked the red envelope back, then suddenly realized what she meant and gently patted her forehead:

"Oh dear, look at me, I'm so forgetful, how could I have forgotten about this?"

"No wonder the Marquis's mansion was in such a mess just now. I was wondering how we were going to celebrate."

"Go, go, go quickly, don't waste the time."

When the old lady saw that the fat meat in her hand was about to fly away, she hurriedly called out to them.

"Madam Sheng, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Madam Sheng turned around.

"Well, Lanyin was my daughter-in-law before, so you can leave it here and I'll take it over later."

Upon hearing this, Madam Sheng suddenly frowned and said seriously:

"Madam, what do you mean by this? You've already divorced your husband, how can you go there with the shame?"

"This..." A hint of embarrassment flashed across the old lady's face, but she smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, we're all family anyway!"

"Pah! You're shameless! Who says we're family?"

"Aren't you and that lowly concubine the real family? You ousted Lanyin, and now you want to covet our red envelopes?"

Zou Shuang'er immediately reached out and grabbed the old lady, afraid that if the old lady said something, Madam Sheng would drag her into it again.

"Mother, please say less."

"What? Wasn't Ye Lanyin my daughter-in-law before? We suffered a lot because of their family."

"Now, Lin Rui'an still holds a higher position than Shi Xuan in the imperial examinations, and he laughs at Shi Xuan for being a defeated opponent."

"You have absolutely no respect for me as an elder. What's wrong with me saying a few words?"

Madam Sheng glanced at the eldest princess, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Oh dear, so you're angry because you didn't do as well as our Rui'an? Didn't you boast a while ago that your son was the top scorer?"

"How come none of them passed the provincial examination? Tsk tsk."

"I thought he was something special. It's really pitiful that the Marquis of Zhenbei chose someone who is so bad at educating people."

"Xi'er, Nianyu, let's go quickly."

The eldest princess smiled and covered her mouth with her handkerchief. "It seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei is still not feeling well. I will talk to my brother later and ask him to give me a few more days to rest properly."

"Oh, by the way, you're Zou's... concubine, right? I heard you took your mother-in-law to see Lan Yin, asking for a reward from her?"

"Don't you even look at yourself? Do you even deserve to receive my imperial brother's reward?"

Han Nianyu pulled the princess behind her to protect her.

"Alright, Xi'er, you're pregnant, so be careful. She's very capable."

"Her son is the top scholar in the imperial examination. Don't offend her, or she'll make you regret it!"

Zou Shuang'er suppressed her anger, realizing that these people had deliberately come to cause trouble.

She took a deep breath.

"Ladies, why do you have to humiliate me like this? My son made a mistake this time, it's not like he failed the exam."

Madam Sheng smiled and said:

"Concubine Zou, you get so easily angered by a few words from others. What kind of future do you think our son will achieve in the next exam?"

“You—” Zou Shuang’er heard these familiar words. Wasn’t this what she had said to Ye Lanyin?

That's great.

It turns out these people came for revenge.

"What, you want to hit me?"

"No...no." Zou Shuang'er had experienced her methods before, and upon hearing Madam Sheng's words, she took three steps back.

Marquis Zhenbei lay on the ground, utterly humiliated.

Lin Shixuan stood there, too ashamed to speak.

"Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare!"

Madam Sheng spat on the ground and glared at her fiercely, "What kind of person are you?"

"You still want to take my red envelope."

"Shameless bitch!"

After saying this, the group hurriedly left the Marquis's residence.

Sitting in the carriage on the way to Ping'an Prefecture, Han Nianyu smiled and pointed at Madam Sheng, "You, you..."

"Hmph!" Madam Sheng sneered. "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been estranged from Lan Yin for so long. Now that we've divorced, do you still want to bully her?"
