"What, he was conferred an official title?"
The next day, in the courtyard of the Shen family head.
When Chen heard the news that Shen Li was given an official title, she was shocked: "Wasn't it said to be Yuanwailang? How did it become Langzhong? Did you hear it clearly?"
The servant hurriedly replied, "Madam, I heard it clearly. It's the position of Langzhong. It's said that His Majesty personally conferred it when he summoned him last night. This morning, Master Li went to the Ministry of Personnel to be appointed."
"How is this possible? He was involved in a lawsuit just two days ago, how could he suddenly be given an official position? And he was even promoted to a higher level." Chen felt so sad in her heart.
"Master, do you think this is suspicious?"
Patriarch Shen was also very suspicious.
But he couldn't guess it either.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Being granted an official title by His Majesty himself is a great honor for the Shen family. Be careful with your words in the future, so as not to get word of it in the main courtyard and cause displeasure."
Chen pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
At this time, the maid came hurriedly to report.
"Madam, Uncle Chen is here."
Chen Liulong came with his female relatives, his belly bulging. When he saw Chen, the warm smile on his face was so bright. After a long exchange of pleasantries, he said, "Aunt, why didn't you tell your nephew about the Shen family's connections?"
"What way?" Chen was slightly stunned.
"Aunt is still trying to fool her nephew!"
Chen Liulong played the emotional card: "I am your nephew, and you raised me. Blood is thicker than water. How can you treat me like an outsider and be on guard against me, aunt?"
"My nephew has already heard the news."
"Aunt, you must help your nephew..."
Chen Liulong's wife also said, "Yes, aunt, if we hadn't heard reliable information, we wouldn't dare to come here. I heard that the son-in-law of the Chen family, who belongs to the main courtyard of the Shen family, has already joined the Ministry of Personnel and was directly promoted to the position of Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Division..."
Chen was surprised when she heard this. "Who told you this?"
at the same time.
Many visitors came from various courtyards of the Shen family.
Most of the people who came were relatives of the Shen family who had borrowed money from the women of the Shen family.
Even people from the Yin family came.
The person who came was Mrs. Shen’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Yin’s aunt, Mrs. Xu.
"Are you saying you really don't know anything about seeking an official position? Didn't your mother-in-law tell you anything?"
Yin pursed her lips slightly. "Aunt knows my mother-in-law well. How could she possibly like me?"
Mrs. Xu thought of her niece's character and fell silent.
"But don't worry, aunt. I'm the housekeeper now. When Li'er comes back, I'll let him come to see you. Then I'll make sure he helps his cousins." Thinking of her son who was given an official title by His Majesty, Yin felt so happy.
The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth twitched slightly.
All he could say was, "Why don't you see your daughter-in-law?"
"Yang Zhao? He should still be recovering from his injuries." Yin said casually.
However, the nanny beside her said, "Madam, I heard that Madam went to the old lady's courtyard early this morning to attend to her illness. She should still be there."
After hearing this, Madam Xu stood up and said, "Then go see your mother-in-law. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my sister-in-law in several years."
"Actually, there's nothing to see. The person is paralyzed and mute. We can only stare at each other when we go there." Yin couldn't help but mutter.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she staggered.
She suddenly understood why her sister-in-law always treated her badly when she returned home.
It is Muzhaiyuan at this time.
Old Madam Shen stared at Yang Zhao with a pair of angry eyes. If looks could kill, Yang Zhao would have been tortured to death by her thousands of times...
