A sharp pain flashed in the old lady's eyes.

Even the Yun family's daughter, who had broken off her engagement, could marry the son of a high-ranking official, while Shen Rong, whom she cherished dearly, could only marry the good-for-nothing eldest son of the Wu family. Thinking of this, the old lady felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles.

Shen Wan and Yun Mo sat for a while, then Shen Wei arrived, along with Yun Rui.

After them, Shen Ying also returned.

Upon seeing Shen Ying, the old lady finally smiled and asked, "Did you come back alone?"

Shen Ying said, "Prince Jin accompanied me back. He's in the front yard and will come to pay his respects to Grandmother in a little while."

As Shen Ying spoke, her gaze swept over Yun Mo and Yun Rui, saying, "We haven't congratulated the Yun family yet. Young Master Yun has finally gotten his wish. The Prince of Yanping's Mansion has agreed to marry Princess Qinghe to him."

Yunrui said, "When my elder brother gets married, I would like to invite Princess Jin to the Yun family for a celebratory drink."

Shen Ying chuckled, then looked at Shen Wan, "I know that eldest sister is devoted to the Yun family, but eldest sister and Prince Ling dared to forge a pardon to help young master Yun marry Princess Qinghe. Aren't you afraid of implicating the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion?!"

Shen Wan knew that Shen Ying wouldn't say anything nice; she always managed to bring bad luck to Shen Ying on their joyous occasion.

But her bad luck isn't so easy to find.

She gave Chen Ying a cold look and said, "Let me give you a piece of advice, Second Sister: if you're going out, don't bring your brain or your mouth."

"you!"

Shen Ying's face turned green with anger.

So you got angry out of embarrassment?

She had only said one sentence when Shen Wan continued, "Who told you that the death-exemption token that the Yun family brought to save the Prince of Yanping was fake? Can't the Emperor and Empress Dowager tell whether the death-exemption token is real or fake? Why don't you have the Prince of Jin forge a fake one and see if it can remove his head from his neck?"
