"Madam, there is an imperial decree from the palace."
Xia Ying hurried into the house and told him the imperial edict that had just been announced outside the gate.
The general meaning of the imperial edict was nothing more than praising the loyalty of the Zhenbei Marquisate, Yang Huaijin's love for his sister, the foresight of the late emperor and other flowery words. After that, it rewarded items and gave Yang Zhao a bunch of health tonics.
"After the eunuch announced the imperial decree, he told the Third Young Master in public that he would give you more consideration, saying that you are the wife of the Shen family after all, and it would be better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage. Everything can be discussed privately, and there is no need to make such a fuss and make things difficult for you."
"Oh!"
Yang Zhaoqing smiled coldly: "This is what His Majesty really wants to convey." He doesn't want her to divorce and leave the Shen family!
Emperor Wenyuan wanted to use the Shen family, so naturally he couldn't let its reputation fall too badly. However, due to what Yang Huaijin said yesterday, the marriage between the Yang and Chen families was no longer a love affair, but was upgraded to the will of the late emperor and the loyalty and trustworthiness of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Emperor Wenyuan couldn't find any fault with the Yang family even if he wanted to.
Yang Huaijin's actions to protect his sister were justified both morally and morally.
Even if he is an emperor, he has to be reasonable.
What's more, after Yang Huaijin said that in public yesterday, most of the military officers submitted memorials overnight, and even some civil officials did the same.
In addition, Shen Li also mobilized the power of that person in Beijing.
Emperor Wenyuan had no choice but to issue the imperial edict early in the morning.
Want Yang Huaijin to "calm things down."
Yang Zhao's eyes flashed with coldness, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. He said, "Xia Ying, go to the gate yourself and tell the Third Young Master to go back. Don't make things difficult for His Majesty and my husband because of my affairs."
Xia Ying, who was still a little indignant, suddenly brightened up when she heard this. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will go and tell the Third Young Master loudly."
After Xia Ying left.
Yang Zhao then said to Dong Shuang, who was standing beside him, "You should also go to the old lady and tell her that I have found a position as a Deputy Director of the Ministry of Personnel..."
Mu Zhaiyuan.
Old Madam Shen had her head wrapped tightly and was leaning weakly on the bed, eating the minced meat porridge fed to her by Madam Liu in small sips. Her face was pale and haggard, and her whole spirit was exhausted.
Mrs. Li spoke of the imperial edict with a delighted look on her face: "Old Madam, His Majesty is still very considerate of our Shen family. The Yang family's evil spirit will definitely not come to cause trouble again."
Mrs. Shen was not happy at all after hearing this.
Yang Huaijin caused such a commotion in her Shen family, yet in the end, he even received a bunch of rewards. What kind of favor is that? Moreover, her hair was shaved off, which is such a humiliation for a woman, but that shameless kid didn't receive any punishment at all!
Just thinking about her makes my chest hurt with anger.
"Madam, Dongshuang is here." The maid came in from outside to report.
"What is she doing here?" Old Madam Shen frowned.
Madam Liu advised in a low voice, "Old Madam, if you don't want to see her, just send her away. There's no need to get angry over a maid. It's not worth it."
Madam Shen snorted coldly, "Let her in. I want to see what message she has to convey on behalf of her master."
After Dong Shuang entered the room and bowed behind him, she said respectfully, "Old Madam, Madam has asked me to come and tell you that there is a clue about seeking an official position."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen didn't even raise her eyelids: "Why, since your maternal family's power threat didn't work, now your wife is planning to use this official position issue to threaten me, an old woman?"
Dong Shuang lowered her brows and replied, "Old Madam, you misunderstood. My wife would never dare to threaten you. She just received the clear news, so she sent this servant to come and tell you in person."
"Madam said that the person she sent out came back and said that there is a vacancy for the position of Deputy Director of the Ministry of Personnel, Examination and Reward Department. It is a sixth-rank official position, which is an excellent position for our master."
"A deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department?"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen suddenly sat up, propping herself up on the stool. A strange light welled up in her eyes. She looked at Dong Shuang and asked, "Is this really a position in the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department? Are you sure?"
When the old man was alive, he wanted Li'er to take that position.
Said it was excellent.
As long as you do a good job in the future, it will be no problem for you to enter the cabinet step by step.
Unfortunately, before they had time to plan, the Shen family fell into trouble.
Dong Shuang said respectfully, "Yes, Madam. Madam said that this position was vacant not long ago. Although it is only a sixth-rank position with little real power, this position in the Ministry of Examination is the best place for you to fully utilize your talents."
Mrs. Shen finally had a smile on her face. Of course, it was the best, as the old man said so himself.
Yang Zhao really put his heart into it.
Dong Shuang changed the subject at this moment: "However, Madam said that although this position does not carry any real power, there are many competitors. Although that lord verbally agreed to it, he is still worried that there will be changes before the matter is actually implemented..."
Madam Shen frowned: "What do you mean?"
So it hasn’t been implemented yet?
"Madam said that if we want to ensure that Master's official position is firmly established and not be snatched away by others, we, the Zhenbei Marquisate, need to secretly exert pressure and solicit favors."
Madam Shen's face darkened instantly: "From what your wife said, does she want me to lose face and beg you, the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion?"
"The old lady misunderstood."
Dong Shuang looked at the old lady and said, "Madam said that she would go to the Marquis' Mansion in person to tell him. However, Madam has been worried about the young master's affairs these past few days, and her health is really not recovering..."
And you said it’s not a threat!!
The old lady's face was very gloomy.
As soon as Dong Shuang left, she threw the stool she was supporting herself on off the bed, gritting her teeth in anger. "That bitch Yang Zhao actually dared to threaten me with Li Er's official position. I really gave her face..."
Madam Liu quickly put down the meat porridge and sat down beside the bed to massage her back. "Old Madam, please calm down. The doctor said that your body can't stand repeated anger."
"Yes, old lady, you can't be angry anymore!"
Mrs. Li hurried forward, stood by the bed and said, "Old Madam, in my opinion, there is no need for you to be angry."
"Think about it, the lady is really angry about our young master. This shows that she still has our family in her heart."
"As long as Madam's heart is with our family and she works for us, then the Yang Family's evil spirit will eventually have to listen to Madam and work for our Shen Family. The problem now is that Madam is feeling frustrated. If we can relieve Madam's frustration, then wouldn't all the problems be solved?"
