Upon hearing that someone from the palace had given Jiang Zhan and Jiang Si an oral message, Old Madam Feng was shocked and led a group of people to rush over.

The eunuch who came to deliver the oral order was Pan Hai.

When Mr. Jiang Er saw him, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Master Jiang, you are too polite. I wonder where the second young master and the fourth young lady of your house are now?"

Old Master Jiang Er turned his head and looked at the crowd.

Jiang Si and Jiang Zhan stepped out from the crowd and greeted Pan Hai.

Pan Hai quickly scanned the brother and sister, secretly saying that they had good looks, and then said, "The Emperor said that in a clear and bright world, under the feet of the Emperor, it is really wrong for such a thing to happen. He knows that the Second Young Master Jiang and the Fourth Miss Jiang were wronged today, and he specially ordered me to bring a jade ruyi as a reward for the Fourth Miss Jiang, and a set of four treasures of the study as a reward for the Second Young Master Jiang. You two should thank him."

Jiang Si and Jiang Zhan hurriedly knelt down to accept the gift, thanked them and stood up amid the envious gazes of the crowd.

Pan Hai's eyes turned and he asked, "Is this my uncle?"

Jiang Ancheng would only come to the palace to pay respects during grand court meetings. At that time, there were countless nobles and officials, so of course he would not have the opportunity to show up alone. However, Pan Hai was very good at recognizing people. He had met Jiang Ancheng once many years ago and still remembered him.

Old Madam Feng watched from the side and felt sad.

When the old uncle was still alive, he would occasionally be summoned to the palace by the emperor for talks. But he never knew that by the time of his eldest son, the emperor would not even recognize the eunuchs around him.

"I am the Earl of Dongping." Jiang Ancheng was very calm when facing Pan Hai.

He was not like his younger brother who entered the officialdom by virtue of his knowledge, nor was he like those talented generals who could defend a region. In his opinion, it was enough for his family to be safe and happy. There were only a few people who could stand at the top in this world. There was nothing wrong with being not as good as the best but better than the worst.

Jiang Ancheng is a man of few desires, so he naturally does not need to flatter the popular people around the emperor.

Pan Hai smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Uncle. The emperor will reprimand those families who wronged your son and daughter. But the emperor said that they were just ignorant children, so it's better not to make a big deal out of this matter."

The meaning of Pan Hai's words was very clear. The emperor did not want to see Jiang Ancheng go to settle accounts with those three parties.

Jiang Ancheng didn't know the inside story of Jiang Zhan falling into the water, but thinking that his children had not lost anything, he nodded.

"We'll go back home first." Pan Hai turned his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Si once more, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

The fourth young lady of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion must be the daughter of Su from the Yining Marquis's Mansion. The mother and daughter look so alike. It's a pity that Su was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. I wonder what happened to her daughter.

Seeing Pan Hai was about to leave, Jiang Er Laoye quickly chased after him and stuffed a purse into his hand: "Eunuch Pan, you have worked hard. You should stay for a cup of tea in this hot day."

"You're too polite, Lord Jiang." Pan Hai smiled and quickly left with a few eunuchs.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the jade ruyi held in Jiang Si's hand and the wooden box held in Jiang Zhan's arms.

Old Master Jiang was extremely jealous.

He had been an official for many years, and had only received rewards from the emperor during the New Year by following the crowd, but had never been rewarded anything individually.

The second wife, Mrs. Xiao, was even more jealous.

The four treasures of the study given by Yu, the imperial examination is coming soon, it would be so auspicious if Cang'er got them, they can be passed down to future generations. And the jade ruyi in Jiang Si's hand——

Xiao stared at the more than one-foot-long jade ruyi tied with a red ribbon, her eyes shining.

If a jade ruyi like this is put into a daughter's dowry when she gets married, no one in her husband's family would dare to look down on it.

Looking at Jiang Siping's indifferent expression, Xiao felt as if needles were stabbing her heart.

This little bastard is so lucky, but she has to act like she doesn't care at all, which is really hateful.

I don’t know whether jealousy can make people ugly, but Xiao has deeply experienced that jealousy can make people feel sad.

Jiang Si, holding Yu Ruyi, who was feeling slightly cold all over, was also confused about the situation.

It was just a few playboys doing something they were used to doing, how come it got to the emperor's ears and he gave her and her brother a reward?

A jade ruyi and a set of four treasures of the study; their value is secondary; the meaning of the gifts is very different.

For example, now, she originally planned to take a step back and there was no need to confront her grandmother forcefully. But now with this jade ruyi, the situation is completely different.

In the future, if anyone dares to bring up what happened today, she will fight back without any hesitation.

"Mother, what your son said is right, isn't it? It seems that your son was not wrong. Even the emperor has awarded her the jade ruyi. I hope she can be happy in the future." Jiang Ancheng said happily.

He didn't feel anything before, but now it seems that the emperor is truly a wise ruler.

Old Madam Feng tightened her grip on the cane.

How could the fourth girl have such bad luck? It's like a slap in her face!

At this time, Mrs. Feng was both happy and worried.

What made her happy was that the emperor actually gave her a reward. God knows how many years it has been since the Bo Mansion received a reward. What made her upset was that she had just given the order to put Jiang Si under house arrest, but the emperor gave her the Jade Ruyi in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that her words were in vain. Where was her grandmother's authority?

Madam Feng, who was in a conflicted mood, hummed calmly and said, "The gift from the imperial court should not be neglected. Send it to the ancestral hall for worship."

Jiang Ancheng immediately said, "Just enshrine Zhan'er's set of four treasures of the study, and let Si'er keep the jade ruyi."

Old Madam Feng glanced at her eldest son with the side of her eyes, wishing she could knock open his head to see what was inside.

Others reserved the benefits for their sons, but the eldest son was the only one who put all his heart on his daughter.

After all, it’s because Jiang Si looks like her mother who died early!

Thinking of this, Old Madam Feng felt more and more annoyed with Jiang Si.

For many years, Old Madam Feng could not forget the time when her eldest son clashed with her over Su. She never expected that Su's influence on her eldest son was still everywhere after so many years of her death.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Feng suddenly had an idea.

The eldest brother has been alone for many years. If he is given a remarriage, once he develops feelings for the new person, perhaps he will be able to completely forget about that vixen Su.

With this thought in mind, Madam Feng temporarily gave up the idea of ​​making things difficult for Jiang Si.

It would certainly be easier for an unmarried girl to be dealt with by her stepmother than by her grandmother, and it would also save her from getting a reputation as an unkind person.

"Okay then, Si'er, you must keep the jade ruyi carefully. It is a gift. If it gets bumped, it will bring disaster." Old Madam Feng regained her kind look and warned.

Jiang Si held up the jade ruyi and bowed with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, granddaughter, I know."

Seeing her holding the jade ruyi carelessly, not only Madam Feng but even Mrs. Xiao felt frightened.

This heartless little bitch, even if she is not afraid of death, she should not implicate others. How could she let Yu Ruyi get her?

After Pan Hai left the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, he quickly visited the other three households. Only then did General Cui learn that his daughter had gone to the palace to complain to the Queen Mother, so he immediately called Cui Mingyue to give her a scolding.
