The next morning after Lin Sayu had her appointment, when she was paying her respects to the old lady, she heard Liu telling the old lady about getting Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er engaged.
The old lady didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement.
Xia Tian was still surprised why the old lady was so easy to talk to this time.
Later I thought that perhaps the reputation of the Wu'an Marquisate was more important to the old lady.
As for who to marry as my grandson's wife, as long as they are of equal status, there will be no problem.
Liu didn't expect that her proposal would be passed so easily.
After returning to Huaruitang, he began to prepare the things for proposing marriage.
Within two days, Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er got engaged.
Lin Sayu also sent her a message again, asking her to come out and have a chat.
"Xia Tian, thank you. My mother asked me to give this to you." As soon as Lin Sayu met her, he took out a small box and handed it to her with a smile on his face.
"What is it?" Xia Tian took it and opened it. Inside the box was a pair of fine white jade bracelets.
"Is this a gift from your mother?" Xia Tian asked.
"Well, my mother thanks you." Lin Sayu smiled, "Because of you, she has now found a daughter-in-law she is satisfied with, so she asked me to make sure you accept her."
Lin Sayu was afraid that she would refuse, so she moved her mother out.
"Okay, okay, I'll accept it." Xia Tian did not refuse. She thought that Mrs. Lin didn't need such a small gift, and it would feel awkward to refuse it.
Just accept it and return it when you have the chance.
"I want to know, Madam Lin likes Miss Wan, so what is your third brother's reaction?"
After receiving the gift, the two sat down to talk. Xia Tian was a little curious whether Lin Sayu's third brother was satisfied with this marriage.
Speaking of her third brother, Lin Sayu showed a disgusted expression, "You don't know, ever since my third brother found out that my mother went to Mr. Wan's house to propose marriage, his mouth has been grinning almost to his ears."
Xia Tian imagined this scene and laughed himself.
It seems that the third son of the Lin family is also quite happy with Miss Wan.
This way she did a good thing!
The two chatted for a while and then went home.
A few days later, in the morning, Chen Nian and Wu Anhou went to the morning court and had not returned yet.
A team of royal guards suddenly came to the house, led by Captain He, an old acquaintance.
Everyone in the mansion was frightened and didn't know what had happened.
Finally, the old lady stood up and pretended to be calm and asked, "Sir, I wonder why you came to the mansion?
My Lord and the Crown Prince have both gone to the morning court. Is there anything we can do while they are waiting for them to come back?"
The old lady had a hunch that the Royal Guards coming to their house was definitely not a good thing!
Could it be that something happened to the Marquis or Shen Nian?
Captain He didn't embarrass them. He bowed to the old lady and said, "Old lady, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to invite the Marquis' wife back to the palace for questioning."
"Liu?" The old lady was puzzled. "What do you want to see her for?"
Could it be that something really happened to the Marquis?
The old lady's hands were obviously shaking.
Captain He said calmly, "Madam, I'm sorry I can't speak clearly."
The old lady also knew that her question was a bit over the line, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, I spoke too much."
"No problem." Lord He asked, "Where is the Marquis's wife?"
Liu, who was originally standing behind the old lady, heard Captain He ask about her again and stood up nervously, "I am."
"Then please come in, Madam Hou." Captain He politely turned aside.
Liu hesitated for a moment, turned around and looked at Chen Ke and Shen Lan, said nothing, and turned away.
Captain He bowed and left with the Royal Guards.
The people who stayed behind looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
To be honest, Xia Tian was a little nervous at this moment. Fortunately, they were only looking for Liu. She thought they were going to search her house!
But I don't know what the emperor wants to ask Liu? He even sent the Imperial Guards to ask for help.
After seeing Captain He leave, Third Madam Ye tremblingly asked the old lady, "Mother, what did the Emperor want to ask my eldest sister-in-law?"
These women usually work in their backyards and rarely go out. What do you have to ask?
The old lady's face turned grim. "Let's all go. No one should mention this matter again."
After saying that, I’m going back.
Shen Lan immediately grabbed the old lady's arm and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandma, is Mother okay?"
The old lady patted her hand comfortingly and said, "It's okay, the emperor just wants to ask a few questions, don't be afraid."
After hearing what the old lady said, Shen Lan felt a little relieved.
She also couldn't understand what her mother had done to alarm the emperor.
Chen Ke said nothing and turned away.
Xia Tian and the Second Madam looked at each other, and then followed her to her yard.
"Second Aunt, why do you think the emperor wants to see her?" Xia Tian was a little puzzled.
Are you asking about Master Liu San?
But Liu shouldn't have been involved in official affairs, right?
She just fought in the backyard, vying for the position of crown prince. She shouldn't have done anything to harm the emperor or do anything big, right?
Xia Tian was feeling a little nervous at this moment. After all, they were all from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. In today's world, if one person made a mistake, the entire family would be implicated.
"Who knows!" The second wife was also confused. Looking at the posture of the Royal Guards just now, she felt that it was not a good thing.
Both of them were a little uneasy.
It’s a little better in summer, after all, the feelings are not that deep.
The second wife was different. She had seen many unpredictable things in life, and many nobles had become prisoners overnight.
It all depends on the emperor's decision!
I hope it’s not something big that will implicate the entire clan!
