The first sentence was shouted out by Old Madam Shen.
With the help of Aunt Liu, she hurried out of the gate and angrily scolded Shen Sulan who was about to speak; "Lan'er, shut up, who allowed you to say such nonsense?"
Old Mrs. Shen was really angry.
She really didn't expect that Shen Sulan would say such brainless words in public!
No matter what the reason, everyone can see that Yang Zhao has devoted six years to the Shen family. Others may despise and hate her reputation, but the Shen family cannot do that.
Otherwise wouldn’t that make you an ungrateful person?
If the Shen family really gets the reputation of being ungrateful and ungrateful, their reputation will be truly ruined!
What's more, Yang Zhao has the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion behind him——
"Mom, I'm not wrong. Yang Zhao didn't die by banging his head against the bandits after being raped. He was unfaithful..." Shen Sulan obviously hadn't regained her sanity yet.
"Who said Yang Zhao was unfaithful or unfaithful?"
At this time, a cold female voice was heard.
I saw a high-profile carriage passing through the crowd and stopping at the door of Shen's house.
The car door opened.
Madam Wei, supported by Nanny Song, limped out of the carriage.
She did not get off the carriage, but stood on it, looking down at Shen Sulan with her chin slightly raised: "I am Wei Song, the wife of the Right Assistant Minister Wei Qin. After leaving Pufo Temple that day, I traveled with your Shen family's wife Yang Zhao, and we encountered the bandits together."
"The wife of Minister Wei also encountered bandits?"
"Why haven't you heard about this?"
"Yeah, these past few days I've only heard about Madam Shen and how she's doing. I had no idea that Madam Wei had also been targeted by bandits..."
“…”
There was an uproar and whispers all around.
Nanny Song frowned and quickly spoke loudly, "When we encountered the bandits that day, neither our wife nor Madam Shen fell into their hands. It was Madam Shen who, despite the danger, found a way and pulled our wife along to the cliff. Later, to avoid falling into the hands of the bandits, Madam Shen and our wife jumped off the cliff together."
"Later, it was the City Defense Department who arrived in time and rescued my wife and Shen's wife from the cliff. If you go to the City Defense Department and ask about this, you will know that it is absolutely true."
"What? Weren't you raped by bandits?"
"Jumped off a cliff?"
"How come this is so different from what was rumored..."
"Which one of these things is true?"
"If Madam Shen really jumped off the cliff to avoid falling into the hands of bandits, then she is a chaste and loyal woman, a true chaste and loyal woman!"
"Rather die than yield, this is what a truly chaste woman would do..."
“…”
The wind direction is changing rapidly.
However, Old Madam Shen was not happy because she did not expect that the wife of Minister Wei would appear here in person and talk about the bandits in public.
Generally speaking, in this situation, everyone is eager to cover up their shame.
How important is a woman’s reputation!
Even if he jumped off the cliff to escape the bandits, it was still shameful when he thought about it carefully. After all, who knew what happened before he jumped off the cliff?!
So when she heard Yang Zhao mention that he and the wife of Minister Wei encountered bandits and jumped off a cliff, she did not feel happy at all.
She thought that when Madam Wei thought about it carefully, she would feel ashamed and angry, and it was even possible that every time she thought of the bandit, she would vent her anger on Yang Zhao who was with her.
After all, she had encountered this when she was young... The trusted maid who accompanied her died on the night she returned.
"Madam Shen, I just heard from this lady of yours that your family is planning to divorce your loyal and righteous wife because of the bandit incident, right?"
Mrs. Wei deliberately emphasized the four words "loyalty, righteousness, chastity and bravery".
Old Madam Shen's eyelids twitched violently, and she opened her lips to say something.
At this time...
"The Empress Dowager's decree has arrived—"
What?
The Empress Dowager’s decree?
No one reacted at first.
It was not until they saw the white-faced eunuch being helped down from his horse by the black-clad guards, his legs trembling, that everyone became alarmed and made way for the eunuch and the guards to walk to the gate of the Shen family.
"The Queen Mother commands, and everyone obeys."
The eunuch stood on the stone steps of the Shen family's gate with trembling legs, and held high the imperial edict embroidered with a dark red phoenix in his hand.
Madam Wei had already gotten off the carriage and immediately knelt down with her maids and servants. "Your Highness, I obey your command!"
What the father-in-law said was that everyone should obey his orders.
This means that everyone present must listen to it.
Mrs. Shen also reacted at this time, pulled the shocked Shen Sulan, and knelt down quickly; "I listen to your order..."
Everyone around them knelt down immediately.
If you look carefully, you will find that among the kneeling crowd, there are several well-dressed old men, among whom is Mr. Lu with white hair and high-profile clothes.
Yes, Mr. Lu is here too.
And beside him were the old men from the Imperial Censorate. If Madam Wei had a sharp eye, she would have recognized them at a glance. One of them was actually her father...
However, at this time everyone knelt down to listen to the order.
The eunuch's shrill voice rang out, "The Empress Dowager's decree: Yang of the Shen family, dignified and wise, a virtuous and virtuous woman, a loyal and virtuous woman, a role model for us women to emulate. I hereby grant her the 'Chastity and Bravery' plaque, five roots of century-old ginseng, and three strains of century-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
Behind it is a series of precious medicinal materials and treasures.
Old Madam Shen was stunned, but she had seen a lot of things, so she couldn't help but feel excited. The Queen Mother had awarded her a plaque. This was a reward from the Queen Mother. From now on, their Shen family...
