Chapter 292 Imperial Decree
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has declined, and Su Wan was regretted by the prince. If she married a peasant, she should live a life of poverty and desolation!
But she didn't. Not only did she go to Duke Zhao's mansion and open a shop selling rouge and gouache, she coaxed everyone around and became the focus of the banquet. Even the birthday girl was robbed of his limelight!
Why should she?
Just a sleazy merchant!
Lin'an County Lord had a huge sense of crisis and became more determined in his heart. As long as the magic weapon that Su Wan relied on for survival was destroyed, she would no longer shine and make Zhao Wei fascinated!
"Don't forget, Mr. Tingyuan's illness was reportedly cured by Su Wan."
The head of Lin'an County slapped Tang Haoyue.
Tang Haoyue's expression changed. Looking at Su Wan who had become a favorite, she thought uncontrollably in her mind, would such a handsome young man treat Su Wan like a bee seeing nectar?
"He won't." Tang Haoyue said this without confidence. She released her grip on Tang Nuan's arm and straightened her sleeves: "You don't need to remind me anymore, I know what to do."
Lin'an County Lord didn't want to push Tang Haoyue too hard, so he gave her a sweet date: "Young Master Tingyuan is the adopted son of the Prince Regent. Now that he has recovered, the Prince Regent pushed him into the cabinet, and he was jokingly called the 'Little Prince Regent'." ', to control all the power of the regent. The quickest way for the Queen Mother to overpower the regent is to make Young Master Tingyuan her own."
These words indeed gave Tang Haoyue a lot of confidence, and she forced a smile on her face: "Sister, just wait for my good news."
Lin'an County Lord smiled with satisfaction and stared at Su Wan, who was good at dancing and making everyone happy, with a vicious light flashing in his eyes.
Let her be proud for now.
After today, everything will be settled.
The Lord of Lin'an County is looking forward to the arrival of the wedding decree.
When Tang Nuan heard their conversation, she lowered her eyelids and quietly opened her sleeves. On her white and tender arms, there were several nail marks, and even the skin was broken and blood oozed out.
She secretly took a breath in pain, pursed her lips in grievance, carefully looked around, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she sneaked out.
Tang Haoyue's eyelids moved and she stared at Tang Nuan's hurried away figure, her eyes a bit cold and very unhappy.
"If you don't like Tang Nuan, I can ask my mother to marry her out of the capital."
Tang Haoyue was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't pick someone with a good family background, just someone with an innocent family background." Finally, he added: "Simple, ordinary."
The head of Lin'an County chewed the word "ordinary" repeatedly and smiled sarcastically at Tang Haoyue.
Tang Haoyue's cheeks heated up, and she did not deny that she did not want Tang Nuan to marry someone better than her.
The mother didn't like Tang Nuan because she wanted her second child to be a boy so that she could gain a foothold in the family and someone could inherit her father's title. For this reason, I went to many doctors to diagnose my pulse, and it was confirmed that he was a boy. But after she was born, she was a girl.
The mother could not accept this fact and was greatly shocked. She was very unhappy with Tang Nuan and rarely even hugged Tang Nuan. Most of the time, Tang Nuan was raised by the wet nurse.
And she is her mother's first child. Even though she is a girl, she can please her mother and is very liked by her mother. The same is true for her father.
Only her grandmother liked Tang Nuan, and she overheard her grandmother talking to her aunt.
The aunt asked the grandmother: "With so many grandchildren, you love Tang Nuan too much. That girl is a bit silly and doesn't get close to anyone. She only smiles at people. If you are willing to use half of the enthusiasm for food to coax the elders, how can you cause trouble? Being left out?"
Grandma disagreed very much: "She is transparent, and you can't get anything without forcing it. If I don't like her, no one in the house will love her. Isn't it too pitiful?"
My aunt was silent for a long time, then muttered as if she was a little upset: "Foolish people are blessed to be foolish."
Tang Haoyue lowered her eyelids to cover the dark light under her eyes.
Grandma really liked Tang Nuan very much. After her death, most of the dowry was given to Tang Nuan and kept with her aunt.
This is also the crux of Tang Haoyue's resentment towards Tang Nuan.
——
After Su Wan finished dealing with everyone, she breathed a long sigh of relief. Thinking of the next order, she felt tired.
Mrs. Zhao saw that she was leaning on the big pillow without any image. She was not as dignified and reserved as when she first came in. With a smile on her face, Mrs. Zhao personally handed her a cup of tea: "Your grandmother said that you are the one who is most worried about not being able to let go. Today If she comes, she will be relieved to see how popular you are."
Su Wan was not polite. She drank the tea cup in one gulp and quenched her thirst: "She can't worry. No matter how capable I am, she will worry about it for the rest of her life."
Mrs. Zhao was convinced.
Su Wan looked at everyone. The rich ladies and noble ladies were all smiling, and they looked at her with very gentle eyes, as if they were looking at one of their own.
Women's favorability and hostility are both inexplicable.
For example, just because of her rouge, gouache, and skin-beautifying products, they classified her into their own category and radiated a favorable impression of her.
For example, Tang Haoyue and the head of Lin'an County were very hostile to her because of some people's instigation.
While she was absent-minded, Wen Ying reached a consensus with everyone and took the lead: "Wanwan, spring is coming. I'm going to hold a flower-viewing banquet. I'll send you a post tomorrow. You should come and enjoy it."
Everyone nodded in agreement: "If you are busy, we will set a date when you are free."
Su Wan stared at their eager eyes and smiled: "I will be there on time."
Everyone smiled with satisfaction, and then sat around to discuss holding a flower-viewing banquet.
Compared to the bustle here, the other side was extremely deserted, and the Lin'an County Lady almost bit her teeth to pieces. She was about to regret it. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have asked Tang Haoyue to find trouble.
If Wen Ying hadn't helped Su Wan out, Su Wan wouldn't have been in the limelight!
But it was too late to regret it now!
"Mother! Mother!" At this time, Madam Zhao came hurriedly, panting slightly, and reported anxiously: "Mother, someone is coming from the palace!"
Old Madam Zhao seemed very surprised, "Queen?"
Madam Zhao whispered in her ear.
Old Madam Zhao frowned and asked Madam Zhao to help her up and go to the front hall to greet her.
Lin'an County Lady's heart moved, and a trace of joy flew to her eyebrows. It must be the imperial decree of the Queen Mother!
"Let's go and see together!"
Lin'an County Lady couldn't wait, and she wanted to fly to the front hall immediately to receive the imperial decree.
Tang Haoyue quickly followed.
The group quickly rushed to the front hall and saw the people from the palace at a glance.
Liu Dequan was white-faced and beardless, holding the imperial edict in his hand, standing in the middle of the room.
When the Princess of Lin'an saw that it was someone close to the Empress Dowager, she was relieved.
Madam Zhao stared at the imperial edict in his hand, with no smile on her face, and looked very serious: "Eunuch, you have been waiting for a long time." Then, she ordered the maid: "Serve tea to the eunuch."
"No need, we are here to read the imperial edict according to the Empress Dowager's oral order." Liu Dequan glanced at everyone. People from the Zhaoguo Mansion had arrived one after another, and there were even many guests. Only the protagonist of the incident was not there: "General Zhao is not here?"
Madam Zhao said hurriedly: "Someone has been sent to invite him."
Liu Dequan was about to say something.
A series of footsteps came over, and everyone looked up and saw that the leader was the housekeeper who was looking for someone. His face was very strange and subtle, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen. Behind him followed Zhao Wei and a little girl, whose clothes were not very decent.
