It was Shen Zhongwen's entourage who came to deliver the news. He first let someone in outside the door to announce the news, and then came in under the leadership of his maid.

This man was probably in his twenties. Shen Qingyu had seen him before when he went out. He was one of the people who followed Shen Zhongwen.

"Sir, Your Majesty's imperial edict has been sent out of the palace. I believe it will arrive soon."

Shen Zhongwen nodded, indicating that he understood, and then ordered: "Let people make preparations and prepare to receive the order."

Um?

Shen Qingyu was confused after hearing this. Can he prepare in advance for receiving the order? Wouldn't it be a serious crime if the emperor found him leaving people watching at the palace gate?

She couldn't understand it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

Shen Zhongwen said to Mr. Wen, "You guys should tidy up too." Then he went out with his attendants.

As soon as Mrs. Wen changed Shen Qingyu into decent clothes, she was taken to the main entrance of the front hall.

Everyone of the Shen family, old and young, had already gathered, and after waiting for a while, a team announcing the decree came from outside.

The leader came on horseback, followed by many inmates around him. Shen Qingyu stretched her neck to see, only to feel that the scene was huge.

The eunuch who announced the decree got off his horse and said loudly: "Shen Zhongwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, accepts the decree."

Before Shen Qingyu had time to take another look, someone was holding her hands and kneeling aside.

"Your Majesty, Shen Zhongwen, accepts the order." Shen Zhongwen's voice sounded in front of Shen Qingyu.

The eunuch said in a loud voice: "The emperor has been entrusted by heaven with this edict: Shen Zhongwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has shown his sincerity and truthfulness, and has been self-denial and devoted to the public service. I will commend him. From now on, he will be promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I admire this."

Shen Zhongwen accepted the order and invited the eunuch who announced the order to enter the inner hall to serve tea.

Then Shen Qingyu was taken down, and he looked at the people around him. The faces of many people around him were beaming with joy, and they were all overjoyed. You must know that their futures are now tied to Shen Zhongwen's. Only if Shen Zhongwen is good can they be good.

Only the expression on Ji Yunshang's face changed, but it really had nothing to do with joy.

At this time, Ji Yunshang looked at the scene in front of her and found it unbelievable. According to her memory, the decree should have been issued a month later.

The mother and daughter who were rescued before should have come to the door now. They committed suicide at the gate of Shen's house, and then triggered a series of chain events.

But nothing has happened until now, and she is feeling very confused. If everything is different from the trajectory of the previous life, then her advantage will be gone.

She never thought that the few words she said to Shen Qingyu would touch Shen Qingyu and make Shen Qingyu pay attention to the mother and daughter, so that such a small move would have changed the direction of things.

For several days, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him. Whenever someone came with his wife or daughter, Shen Qingyu would go out and walk around as a mascot from time to time.

Just when the Shen family was immersed in such a joyful atmosphere, Wen's natal family also arrived, and Shen Qingyu followed Wen to meet her maternal family for the first time.

The person who came was Wen's sister-in-law Zhong. She was probably less than forty years old. She was a little chubby and had curved eyebrows. She was obviously not smiling, but it gave people the illusion that she was. She looked very kind.

Mrs. Wen must have had a good relationship with Mrs. Zhong when she was not married, and they were very affectionate.

Mrs. Zhong smiled and pulled Shen Qingyu over and said, "Let aunt take a look, but I haven't seen you for a while. She's so tall!"

Mrs. Wen agreed: "Yes! Children grow up very fast."

Madam Zhong pulled Shen Qingyu to sit down beside her and complimented Madam Wen: "My father has the vision. In just a few years, my brother-in-law has been promoted several levels. Now he is the head of the Ministry of Industry, and he will be even closer in the future."

It’s not impossible. My sister’s luck lies ahead!”

When Mrs. Wen heard her sister-in-law praising her husband, she nodded and smiled and refused to answer.

Mrs. Zhong said: "You haven't been home for a long time. Both your father and mother miss you very much. This time I took advantage of my brother-in-law's promotion and came to visit. I just wanted to take you back to stay for a while. I wonder if it's convenient for you here?"

Mrs. Wen said happily: "What's the inconvenience? I miss my family very much. This just suits my needs."

Mrs. Zhong also laughed and said, "That's good. I'll tell you first, and then I'll talk to Mrs. Shen later when I visit her."

When she heard that her sister-in-law was going to see Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wen suppressed her joy and said, "I'm afraid my mother won't be happy with it."

Mrs. Zhong observed her words and saw that the relationship between her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law was still stiff, so she consoled her: "Now that my brother-in-law has been promoted, it is a time for her to be proud. Once I tell her, she will definitely agree, so don't worry."

Wen was not so optimistic, "I hope so."

When Shen Qingyu heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and said anxiously: "What about me? Don't forget me!"

Mrs. Wen tapped the tip of Shen Qingyu's nose, "Of course I will take my daughter with me. I forget that no one can forget my daughter!"

Shen Qingyu was satisfied and went back to pack her things with peace of mind. The Wen family took people to Liu's place to say hello.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Wen came back. She must have made preparations to return to the Wen family.

Shen Qingyu was so excited that it was hard to express. This was the first time for her to participate in such an activity of visiting relatives, so she was inevitably excited.

She didn't know where the Wen family was. It would be better if they were outside Shengjing and could travel long distances. But she just thought about it. Wen's father was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, so his family must not be far away.

She asked Ruyi to help her pack her clothes, and also asked her to bring some gold and silver items that she didn't usually use. She thought that maybe this time she would have a chance to play outside, so the money would be useful.

Seeing that Shen Qingyu was still packing her clothes, Mrs. Zhong laughed heartily and hurriedly stopped her: "Oh! Miss, please stop packing. When you arrive at your grandfather's house, everything is ready-made. What is missing is the ready-made clothes."

It’s too late to buy it, but if you pack it up, we won’t be able to leave even after dark.”

Shen Qingyu originally thought that it would take two days to repair, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, so she got on the carriage in a daze.

Shen Zhongwen followed the carriage on horseback and said in a very reluctant tone, "It's fine for Madam to go to my father-in-law's house for a few days, but why do you want to take Qing Yu with you? How can I bear it when you two leave and leave me alone at home?"

Not to mention the number of people accompanying them outside, there were also several people inside the carriage. Such words made Mrs. Wen shy, her face turned red, and she refused to talk to him. Mrs. Zhong lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "It's just...

You don’t have to be so reluctant to leave her when you go home for a short stay. Lord Shen, don’t worry, I will send you back as you picked her up. If you let my sister lose one point at home, feel free to find me."

Shen Zhongwen wanted to say something else, but another horse galloped up.

The surrounding guards were waiting in full formation, but they saw Shen Zhongwen waving his hand and saying something to Shen Zhongwen.

When he turned around, he had already put away his previous relaxed expression, "I have something urgent and I can't continue to send you off. I will definitely come to apologize to my father-in-law one day."

Mrs. Zhong said hurriedly: "My lord, official business is important. We have enough manpower here, so don't worry."

After hearing what Shen Zhongwen said, Mrs. Wen looked towards her husband, but Shen Zhongwen just nodded at her and turned his horse's head in another direction.
