They offered silver and generous betrothal gifts to persuade a daughter of a prominent family to become the daughter-in-law of the Earl's household, thus averting this disaster.
But the old man has ultimately lost the emperor's favor and is now retired at home, with no power whatsoever.
It can be said that the power of the Earl's Mansion has greatly diminished.
Moreover, after Pei Lingyu and Jiang Yao got married, the noble family treated the Earl's mansion as their mortal enemy and took away all the dowry...
As a result, the Earl's estate was reduced by half.
With power gone, half of the property was also lost.
He now has another enemy in the court.

"What's going on? What's all the commotion outside?"
Xiao Tao pushed the door open and came in. "Sister Qingxing, the old lady has returned. Everyone is busy welcoming her."
"old lady?"
"Wasn't the old lady supposed to be resting in the mountains? Why did she rush back before dawn?"
Qingxing was so surprised that she went to help Jiang Shuwan get up.
"No need to get up, Sister Qingxing. The old lady said she was tired from the journey and only invited the First Madam into her courtyard. No one else needs to greet her or come to pay their respects."
