Mrs. Wang didn't know that Eunuch Xia had already come to read out the decree. She was stunned for a moment, then became excited and happy. She said to Su Xingyi sincerely, "This is really a great joy, a great joy!"
She was still thinking about the death of the Third Prince, and she didn't know how this matter would end. But now that Emperor Yuanfeng had already issued an imperial decree to the Su family, allowing the Su family to restore their title and to award them the red book and iron certificate again, Emperor Yuanfeng's attitude was very clear.
She couldn't help but help the Su family breathe a sigh of relief, shook Su Xingyi's hand, and said in a low voice: "After all the hardship comes happiness, it really comes happiness after all the hardship!"
Mrs. Wang meant well, and Su Xingyi knew that. She smiled and said, "Yes, finally the hardship has ended and the happiness has come. So we are content..."
The two talked for a while, and Mrs. Wang asked about Su Yaolai again: "When Fanfen gets married, I want to ask Yaoyao to accompany her, but I don't know if it's convenient for Yaoyao."
Su Xingyi was a little surprised.
She knew this custom. On the eve of a girl's wedding, she would usually be accompanied by her close sisters.
But in theory, they are sisters, and Wang Yuerong and Su Yao are not close friends. They just meet occasionally. Su Xingyi was surprised before she realized what was happening. Seeing Mrs. Wang's sincere attitude, she thought for a moment before saying, "Then wait until Yaoyao comes back, I'll ask her and give you an answer then."
"Okay." Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Let Yaoyao come to our house more often when she's free. Fenfen likes her very much. Let Fenfen get to know her more while she's still young. I always think that if Fenfen can learn a little bit of Yaoyao's skills, it will be enough for her."
It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Wang Yuerong wanted to marry into the Xie family of Chenliu. Although the Xie family was a famous and prominent family, Mrs. Wang was afraid that the family was too high-class and Wang Yuerong would be wronged if she married into the family.
Now that the two families are getting closer, Mrs. Wang also intends to have the two children get closer so that they can take care of and support each other in the future.
This was also a good thing for Su Yao, so Su Xingyi agreed with a smile.
Mrs. Wang returned home. Without even bothering to change her clothes, she went straight to Old Madam Wang and told her that the Su family had been restored to the nobility. She also said, "The emperor's grace is great. With this, the Su family will finally have a better life."
Better
Old Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment and shook her head, but did not say anything. She just asked her how Wang Yuerong's dowry was being prepared.
Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Wang's attention was immediately diverted. She quickly showed the list to Old Mrs. Wang and said, "We have been saving for her since she was a child. Paintings and calligraphy, jewelry, furniture, silk, everything is complete. But this treasure chest..."
Mrs. Wang sighed as she spoke: "By the way, speaking of which, your daughter-in-law has something she wants to discuss with you. Last time the Xie family came to visit, didn't we give Fenfen shoes and socks as gifts? The return gift was quite generous, but... Mrs. Xie San looked at Fenfen's bed with pomegranates and Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea carved on it and said she was afraid that the bed wouldn't fit in their new house..."
This matter has always been a hidden danger in Mrs. Wang's mind.
She was not suspicious, but after all, her daughter had broken off an engagement. Although the Su family had done enough work and just said that the two parties were not suitable, it still had an impact.
When she encountered something like this, she couldn't help but think more about it.
If it is really not suitable, although this step-out bed was built for Wang Yuerong since she was a child, it can be replaced. At most, it can be kept in the bottom of the box and not used. However, if Mrs. Xie San means to dislike this bed, then the deeper meaning contained in it needs to be considered.
That's why Mrs. Wang suggested today that Su Yao come over to accompany Wang Yuerong. For some reason, Mrs. Wang always felt that Su Yao was steady and trustworthy.
Hearing her eldest daughter-in-law talking about this, Old Lady Wang narrowed her eyes and frowned, saying, "Isn't that Third Madam Xie the aunt of Xie Mujun?"
Mrs. Wang responded.
Mrs. Wang's joy was slightly dampened by this incident. She said, "Don't make this public for now. I think we should let the eldest and third sons talk to Xie Mujun. As for the female members of the Xie family, you can ask around. We are marrying off our daughter, so we should be more careful. Otherwise, if she meets someone like Su An, she will suffer for the rest of her life."
This sentence made Mrs. Wang's heart almost jump out. She opened her eyes wide in anxiety. Just as she was about to speak, Master Wang had already lifted the curtain and came in. He greeted Mrs. Wang first, and then said to her in high spirits: "Mother, the result is out! Today, the emperor asked the cabinet to draft this case. The cabinet gave a proposal, but it was rejected by the emperor. The emperor scolded the cabinet for tolerating evil and colluding with him! It makes the elders so embarrassed..."
There is no need to guess Emperor Yuanfeng’s attitude this time; it is completely clear.
Old Madam Wang also knew the truth, so she specifically asked Master Wang: "What about Prince Fenyang and Prince Zhuang..."
"What Shao Wenxun did had nothing to do with Prince Fenyang." Master Wang lowered his voice: "The Ministry of Justice has investigated everything. All the things Shao Wenxun embezzled were sent back to his hometown. Not to mention Prince Fenyang, even Princess Chun'an didn't know anything about it. When the matter was exposed, Princess Chun'an still refused to believe it. I heard that she cried and begged Prince Fenyang for mercy at home, but was scolded by Prince Fenyang. Prince Fenyang is still in the court today to take off his hat and bear the blame..."
The judge of this case is the King of Fenyang. Who can tell whether he really didn't know what Shao Wenxun did or he was pretending not to know
But at least on the surface, Prince Fenyang had distanced himself from the matter cleanly and was very humble. Old Lady Wang and Master Wang looked at each other and both felt a little heavy in their hearts.
It was said before that good days were coming for the Su family, but if this matter is still related to Prince Fenyang, how can the Su family have an easy life
Not to mention that the Xu family had originally conspired with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Marquis of Changping, and both of these families had close ties with Prince Zhuang.
As long as Prince Zhuang is still Prince Zhuang, the Su and He families will become obstacles in his way.
"Let's wait and see." Master Wang said, and then said: "No matter what happens to the Su family and the He family, it is much better than before. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and was about to tell him about the Xie family when suddenly Mr. Wang Wu came in hurriedly and said that he wanted to go back to the Song family with Mrs. Wang Wu.
At this time
It was so late, and Mrs. Wang immediately asked them: "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"
