The content of the Yan family's imperial edict was "Concubine Li offended the Empress. From today on, she must stay in her own palace to reflect on her mistakes. No one is allowed to see her."
"Brother, what about my second sister?" Yan Sheng was so excited that his brain was not enough.
"Third Master Yan, please be patient. The Emperor has given you a secret decree. Please study it yourself and do not let the Emperor down."
The eunuch who came to the Yan Mansion to announce the imperial edict hurried back to the palace to report after finishing his business. The third young master of the Yan family was notoriously difficult to deal with, and if he didn't run quickly, he would be caught and it would be terrible.
Shu Sheng suddenly felt that the imperial edict in his hand was a little hot, and he always felt that the emperor had bad intentions.
Yan Sheng opened the secret decree and began to go crazy when he saw its contents.
"Brother, take a look at what's written here. In a few days, they will arrange for the second sister to die of illness, and then arrange a new identity for the second sister. They will say that when daddy and mommy gave birth to the second sister, they were twins, and the younger sister was in poor health and had been raised outside. Now that she is well, they have brought her back."
"Second brother, don't talk nonsense. The emperor's decision is very good. This way, Rong'er and the prince can be together legitimately." Yan Jue didn't expect that the emperor could make up such a bizarre story in just one night.
"What should we do then?" Shu Sheng was very angry.
"The prince has returned. In order to continue the engagement between Yan and Shu's two families, the younger sister will marry in place of the older sister." Yan Jue has begun to admire the emperor's imagination.
"What about Yueyue?" Yan Sheng suspected that the emperor had forgotten Yueyue.
"Don't worry about Yueyue's affairs. The emperor will definitely make his own decision. I heard that an imperial edict also arrived at the Mu Mansion today."
Yan Jue knew that Yueyue had a special identity and the emperor did not dare to make a decision on his own. His niece not only had the support of the Mu family, but also the Wen family, the Zhenshan Palace and the Shu family.
"Then why did the emperor give me this secret order alone?" Yan Sheng really couldn't understand it. He suspected that the emperor was taking revenge on him.
"Think about it carefully. If Rong'er suddenly died, someone from the Yan family would have to make a scene. You should be the one that the emperor has his eyes on." Yan Jue decided to remind his silly brother.
"Brother, do you mean that the emperor wants me to make a big deal out of this on behalf of the Yan family?" Yan Sheng felt that the emperor might be too idle, but he liked making trouble, so he took the job.
"Maybe there's more to it than that. Later on, you may need to make a fuss about arranging a marriage for the young lady of the Yan family who just returned to Beijing, and Yueyue's return to her ancestral home." Yan Jue felt a little sympathetic to Yan Sheng when he thought of the emperor's bad taste.
"Brother, will Yueyue hate me?" What Yan Sheng cared about most was his niece's attitude. She already called brother uncle, but had never called herself uncle.
"Be nice to her, and she will like you." Yan Jue comforted his younger brother.
"I will listen to you, big brother. I promise to make a big deal out of this." Yan Sheng didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet, and happily took on the emperor's job.
"Brother is reminding you that you may have to face Mousse and Shu Yan." Yan Jue knew that his younger brother was no match for them, but he had to make a fuss, otherwise the show couldn't go on. He could only let his younger brother suffer, after all, he was the best candidate in the entire Yan family.
"As for Shu Yan, I dislike him every day. He has always complained about me over the years." Yan Sheng even felt that he had finally become tough and was not afraid of quarreling with Shu Yan again this time.
Seeing his brother's high morale, Yan Jue couldn't bear to discourage him. He sighed in his heart and thought that it was always good for young people to have more training.
The prelude to everything has been laid out, and we are just waiting for the right time for the main characters to appear on stage.
Three days later.
Marquis Anping and his wife finally arrived in the capital.
Since he knew his son was still alive and his granddaughter was found, Marquis Anping seemed to be ten years younger. That day, he secretly returned to the capital with his wife without telling the empress dowager.
When the Empress Dowager found out, she was both angry and anxious, and quickly arranged to return to Beijing.
Marquis Anping and his wife were in a hurry on the road and were reluctant to rest. As a result, their carriage broke down when they were still one day away from the capital.
It happened that I ran into Master Rong and his son who were out collecting debts. Marquis Anping is well-known in the capital, but not many people actually know Marquis Anping and his wife, especially since they have not been in the capital in recent years.
Although the Rong family is the richest family, the officialdom and the business world are not in the same circle. Although I think Marquis Anping and his wife are very noble, I never associate them with the famous Marquis Anping.
The few of them had a very happy chat along the way. When they learned that Marquis Anping was returning to Beijing to see his son and granddaughter, Master Rong seemed to have found a confidant and told them many interesting stories about his new granddaughter.
Marquis Anping thought his granddaughter must be very cute, so he asked Master Rong for advice. However, Master Rong had no real experience, only generosity.
"Brother, to be honest, you have to spoil them. You see the things in the carriage behind me? They are all bought for my two granddaughters. You have to give them more banknotes on a regular basis." Master Rong was very proud of this, and Rong Yunnan wanted to laugh when he saw it.
"Your idea is good. This is the first time I've seen my granddaughter. I have to prepare more banknotes when I go back." Marquis Anping decided to open the storehouse of the marquis' mansion and pick out some valuable things for his granddaughter.
"Brother, you are right to think so. Your little granddaughter is so cute. The more banknotes you give her, the closer she will be to you." Master Rong thought about how happy they were when he first gave banknotes to Murong Shu and silver to Yueyue.
Marquis Anping was very happy that he had found a way to make his granddaughter like him, and he asked Master Rong for some advice.
Rong Yunnan wanted to laugh a little bit. One dared to ask and the other dared to answer.
Today, Rong Qing came to pick up his father and second brother. He happened to have something to tell them, but when he was leaving the house, he ran into Yueyue and Murong Shu who were returning home.
Murong Shu came today to check Liu Ruyan's body and change the prescription for postpartum conditioning. Yueyue just missed the people in the mansion.
When I heard that grandpa was back, I went with Rongqing to pick him up and his uncle. Yueyue was very happy along the way.
So when Master Rong got off the carriage and saw his daughter and granddaughter for the first time, he was very happy. Yueyue was the first to run up to them and act coquettishly, "Grandpa, you are back. Yueyue missed you and uncle so much."
"Hahaha, Yueyue, be good. Grandpa and uncle brought back a lot of gifts for you and Shu'er this time. Grandpa will have someone send them back to you in a while."
Mr. Rong loved Yueyue very much, and he gave her a carriage as a gift with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Grandpa. You love Yueyue and Senior Sister the most." Flattery never wears out. Master Rong laughed out loud at the joke.
Marquis Anping and his wife in the carriage were very envious when they heard the noise coming from outside. Marquis Anping quietly opened the curtain and looked out, and then he became very excited.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her husband so excited, the marquis's wife also came over, and then she was so excited that she almost fainted.
