However, two days later, a holy decree of condemnation arrived at Ning's house.

Yan Zhen looked at the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

The first half of the holy decree was only strict - she thought that under the pressure of those imperial histories, the emperor had no choice but to make a show, at most ban her feet......

Unexpectedly, he directly took her position as the county lord!

From the county lord to the county lord, and now he has been demoted to a commoner......

She's nothing now?

What about my aunt?

Didn't my aunt intercede for her in front of the emperor?

Seeing that the eunuch who had delivered the decree had turned and left, he threw away the decree and was about to run out of the outer hall.

The two mothers-in-law who were guarding outside the hall blocked her way.

"Get out of here!"

The banquet was really angry, even if it was going to do it.

But as soon as that hand was raised into the air, a mother-in-law grabbed her wrist tightly, and it was useless to let her break free.

"Don't you want to live?" Yan Zhen's eyes were cracked, and he was shocked and angry.

"I'm afraid it's you who don't want to live."

The woman's voice was heard, and there was a sound of unhurried footsteps.

Mrs. Ning, who was dressed in an eggplant purple fine silk gown, walked over with two maids.

Only then did the mother-in-law let go of Yan Zhen's hand and turned to salute Mrs. Ning.

Yan Zhen looked at her and asked, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to order someone to bind me!" ”

"Why, county lord—no, it's time to change your name, is the girl going out?" There was a sarcastic smile in Mrs. Ning's eyes.

"I'm going to go into the palace to see my aunt, who of you dares to stop me!"

Mrs. Ning burst out laughing.

"What is the identity of the girl now? If you haven't been summoned by the concubine, you will go, and there will be no one to pass it on for you, but I am afraid that you will not even be able to enter the palace gate. ”

The green tendons on Yan Zhen's forehead jumped, and he was about to open his mouth, but he heard the other party say: "Besides, if you want me to order someone to take a good look at the girl, and the girl is not allowed to take another step out of the mansion, it is the concubine Niangniang——"

Yan Zhen's expression changed greatly when he heard this.

"Impossible!"

How could it be that my aunt not only didn't help her, but also locked her up?

"Impossible?" The smile on Mrs. Ning's face gradually faded, and then turned into a ruthless color: "When you framed Feng'er, didn't you think that there would be such an end?" ”

Her son was obviously wronged, but now he still can't clear his name-just because the concubine said that he should not add more trouble, and he could no longer put the Ning family under public opinion, so as not to be speculated by outsiders that he could not save the banquet, so he pushed her out to take the blame......

Therefore, she and Feng'er have to suffer this dumb loss!

That's her only son!

"......" Yan Zhenyan's eyes changed greatly when he heard this, "It turns out that you provoked in front of your aunt!" ”

Mrs. Ning sneered.

"Provocative? Did I blame you, or do you think that even if there is no such thing, you can hide the matter of your love for the prince? ”

“……”

Yan Zhen's face was full of blood, and he couldn't stop shaking his head.

"It can't be...... I'm going to see my aunt......"

"Don't waste your efforts."

Mrs. Ning looked at her struggling under the hands of the two mothers-in-law, and sneered: "If you don't ask for hardship, you will obediently pick up the holy decree and roll back to your own courtyard - thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces, and they are disrespectful to the holy decree, but they are disrespectful to the emperor." I don't think you even want your head, do you? ”

Yan Zhen trembled all over, looking at her with hideous eyes.

Mrs. Ning looked at her with a mocking expression.

"Looks like crazy - even so, it really needs to be locked up."

said, looked at the two mothers-in-law: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take people back to the yard to take care of them - if there is a business trip, you are the only one who asks!" ”

The mother-in-law responded, ignoring the struggle and threats of the banquet, and took the person away from here.

Mrs. Ning walked into the hall, bent down to pick up the scroll of holy decrees, and the sneer on her lips did not fade.

……

In Jiang's house, Jiang Lingyi quickly got the news.

She put down the embroidered bandage in her hand and looked out the window distractedly.

She didn't expect that the banquet would be so useless, the dignified county lord couldn't even deal with a mere Zhang Meishou. Not only did he fail to hurt the other party, but he also compensated himself.

What a waste!

But does Zhang Meishou really have such a big ability?

Or is it just a matter of good luck?

She had already heard afterwards that in the Qingping Pavilion that day, there was a Wu Yushi by chance.

But she always felt that things were strange.

Yan Zhen was demoted to a commoner this time, did Changchun Palace sit back and ignore it like this?

Outside the window, the autumn colors are getting thicker, and there is not much scenery to see.

Jiang Lingyi was distracted for a long time.

A question slowly rose in her heart - could it be that someone was secretly helping Zhang Meishou?

The handsome and noble face of the young man appeared in his mind, and Jiang Lingyi clenched his sleeves slightly.

"Girl, my uncle has brought two cousins to visit my wife, do you want to go over and talk?" A little girl walked in and asked softly.

Jiang Lingyi turned her face away, and her demeanor returned to normal.

"Aunt is here?"

Her mother had recently been ill and had only recovered in the past two days.

The little girl nodded: "Right now, it's in the wife's yard." ”

"I'll take a look."

Jiang Lingyi got up, changed her clothes and combed her hair again, and then went to her mother's courtyard.

Mrs. Zhong and her two daughters were talking to Mrs. Jiang in the inner room.

Jiang Lingyi walked in and saluted.

"Auntie, two cousins."

"Yi'er is here." Mrs. Zhong smiled and took her hand, looked at it, and praised: "Yi'er has now become a slim girl, look at this appearance, what kind of family will she have to match in the future?" ”

Jiang Lingyi smiled embarrassedly.

The smile does not reach the bottom of the eye.

My aunt said this meeting beautifully and affectionately, but in the year since she entered Beijing, except for following her mother to the Zhong family, she has never received an invitation from her aunt and cousins.

Now that her father has a place in Beijing, these people look at her on the surface, but in fact they still keep her far away.

For more than a year, she seems to be quite beautiful in the capital, but in fact, she is restricted everywhere, and those who are really willing to make friends with her are all inferior to her!

Although no one will mention the past in front of her at all, some exclusion and alienation are silent, so that people can't find anything wrong, can't tear their faces, but they can't breathe.

After a while, Zhong Shi looked at his daughter and said, "I have something to say to your aunt, Yi'er, you accompany your two younger sisters to talk outside." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Lingyi responded with a smile and took her two cousins to the outer hall.

When the girls talk to each other, it is nothing more than some rouge gouache jewelry, and some new things between the daughter's family.

As she spoke, the four girls of the Zhong family looked at Jiang Lingyi and asked, "Two days later, will my cousin go to the Qin family's girls' poetry meeting?" ”

The fifth girl frowned slightly and poked her gently.
