The Flower Lover Banquet hosted by the Ye Family had ended without any complications, and not a single household would feel dissatisfied or resentful.

"Mother, mother, are you saying …" Jin Lan's face was filled with disbelief, as he looked at Madame SHen who was sitting in the carriage with her mouth agape.

"Yes, the carriage should be arriving soon. That's why we're in such a hurry." Madame SHen had already gradually recovered from her initial shock. Looking at her daughter's small tense face, she couldn't help but hug her lightly, "Lan Er, don't be nervous.

"Yes." Jin Lan closed her eyes and responded in a low voice, but her heart was like an avalanche, unable to control itself.

The imperial edict, the imperial edict actually gave the Ye Family an imperial edict!

Why? Such a thing had never happened in his previous life, but now …

In her mind, she suddenly recalled the day she accompanied the ancestor of the clan into the palace. When they paid their respects to each other at the Ganquan Hall, the emperor had only heard the name of the person and immediately revealed her identity!

This was sufficient to prove that even though they were thousands of miles away, the Emperor still controlled every single movement within the Ye Family, whether it was from his own family or the side branch of the Yangzhou, the Ye Family.

Could it be that her appearance caused the emperor to have some sort of ulterior motive towards Ye Family?

No, she had an idea. Another answer came to her mind.

Perhaps, it was the Old Ancestor.

Jin Lan suddenly felt chills down his spine, and his body that was in Madame SHen's embrace suddenly shivered.

Sensing her daughter's abnormality, Madame SHen hurriedly looked down, and a small, pale face jumped into her eyes, "What's going on? Lan Er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? " She raised her hand and placed it on Jin Lan's forehead. Her palm was cold and clammy. "No, I have to see a doctor right away!"

Hui Xiu immediately lifted up the curtain to let Zhang San, who was driving, change the way.

"No way!" Jin Lan became anxious and quickly reached out to grab Hui Xiu. He turned his head and smiled at Madame SHen, "Mother, I'm not worried at all. Perhaps it's because I'm too nervous, so I'll rest for a bit." After she finished speaking, she added, afraid that the Madame SHen would insist, "If we miss the timing of the decree, then it would be extremely disrespectful to the emperor."

Madame SHen painfully wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead, "Then you should rest for a while. When we get to the residence, I'll look for Soo Soo for you to take a look."

Jin Lan smiled and nodded, then took the opportunity to fall into Madame SHen's arms.

Only when she saw that the paleness slowly faded away and the redness slowly returned to her daughter's face did she heave a sigh of relief. She turned her head and whispered to Hui Xiu, "In a while, go to the west wing and invite Doctor Gong into my room."

Hui Xiu understood the seriousness of the situation and quickly replied.

Maybe it was because of the elegant aura on Madame SHen's body, but Jin Lan's messy heart gradually calmed down.

In any case, fate had already been biased, and this life was no longer a previous one. She was unable to foresee the future, and perhaps because of this, her heart was filled with fear for her unknown future.

Even so, she was determined.

No matter what happened, she would never let anyone hurt her mother or make use of her!

When the carriage arrived at the Ye Mansion entrance, the crimson red door that was usually only half open had already opened. The Attendant s were currently busy splashing water and cleaning the place, when they saw the carriage inside, they hastily retreated to the side and quietly stood there.

Steward Li had already been waiting outside the door for a long time, when he saw Madame SHen returning, he walked up to him and greeted him, "Madam."

The Madame SHen was the first to arrange for the Soft Palanquin, and then personally extended her hand to help Jin Lan off the carriage. Finally, he shifted her gaze to the Steward Li, "When will the servant who sent the decree arrive?"

The Steward Li hurriedly replied, "Just now, the news from the dock will probably be here in an hour."

Madame SHen nodded his head, "Have you prepared the cloud table and censer for receiving the decree?"

The Steward Li said: "Everything is ready. Master has ordered me to set it up in the main hall."

Madame SHen continued to ask about the details, seeing that the Steward Li had finished arranging everything, he calmed down and instructed him to watch the cleaning matters outside, then led the three sisters to sit on the Soft Palanquin and return to the Inner Court.

Usually, regardless of gender or age, they would all be gathered together to show their gratitude. Therefore, Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian had to be present as well, even the Concubine Ning could not be absent.

Receiving the Madame SHen's reminder, Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian hurriedly returned to their own rooms to wash and change.

However, Jin Lan was immediately brought back to the Shuixie Pavilion by the Madame SHen, so Hui Xiu had long gone ahead of them and invited the Doctor Gong to wait in the main room. The moment Jin Lan entered, she was escorted to the soft couch and laid down.

After a short while, Doctor Gong released his hand, "It's nothing serious, it's just that my lady's overthinking and too much disturbance in her mind caused the blood in her body to become weak, if I take a while to rest, she'll be safe and sound."

"That's good." Madame SHen's hanging heart finally completely dropped, but when she looked at Jin Lan, she could not help but have a hint of complaint in her eyes, "Child, I told you a long time ago to not think too much, with such a heavy heart, what you hurt in the end was not your own body!"

In the face of Madame SHen's concerned eyes that were filled with anger, Jin Lan showed an apologetic expression. "It's Lan Er's fault, that caused mother to worry."

Madame SHen sighed, went up and sat beside Jin Lan, lowering her eyes to look at Jin Lan's beautiful face, "You have to know, in this mansion, the only person Mother can rely on is you." Nanny does not like, pillow side is such a cold person.

As a woman, she probably married someone else.

Jin Lan extended his hand to hold Madame SHen's hand and instantly felt his fingertips go cold. He could not help but say with a pained heart: "Don't worry Mother, Lan Er will definitely not do such a thing again in the future."

Madame SHen was afraid that Jin Lan would see through her sadness in her heart, so she immediately patted Jin Lan's hands, revealing a smile. "You can't change your clothes, you can rest in peace.

Jin Lan replied obediently.

Madame SHen lovingly stroked Jin Lan's forehead again, then turned and went into the room to change.

She was different from Jin Lan. As a second rank celebrity, she had to wear her first rank clothing when receiving the edict. She had to wear a phoenix coronet as well.

"Madam." Mama Zhu looked at the fully dressed Madame SHen with worry. Her wife's body was slightly better, but compared to back then, the phoenix crown on her head, which was embedded with pearls and gems, was not light at all.

Madame SHen took a deep breath, straightened her waist, and laughed: "Don't worry Mama, I'm fine. It's just that I haven't worn it for a long time, I can't help but be a little uncomfortable."

Seeing that it was about time, Madame SHen got Hui Xiu to bring hot water to clean her face, and also got him to comb her slightly dignified hair into a bun. Although her clothes didn't need to be changed, her appearance had to be serious.

After Jin Lan had properly packed up, they sat on the Soft Palanquin with the Madame SHen and headed towards the main hall.

Along the way, Madame SHen comforted Jin Lan softly, but it was nothing more than to be nervous, taking small details like standing, bowing, and so on.

Although Jin Lan never respectfully welcomed an imperial edict in her previous life, she had learnt some necessary etiquette and etiquette from the Mama s who taught her how to marry them. However, even though Madame SHen was distracted, she still pretended to be serious and nodded her head in agreement from time to time.

When they arrived at the main hall, Old Madame Ye, Ye Lin and the others were already waiting. Standing beside them was Aunt Yan and Concubine Ning, while Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian stood behind the old lady.

Counting them down, they were actually the last.

Old Madame Ye was also dressed up decently, and just like Madame SHen, she was a second grade great lady. When she saw Madame SHen enter, she could not help but snort coldly, so as not to look at Jin Lan. "Girl Lan, come over here quickly."

Hearing Old Madame Ye's call, Jin Lan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but then quickly calmed down. With a smile on his face, he obediently walked in front of Old Madame Ye and bowed, "Grandmother."

Old Madame Ye pulled Jin Lan's hand, her expression surprisingly amiable. "I have to say, Girl Lan has the deepest fortune here."

Jin Lan's heart suddenly trembled, but her face revealed a hint of shyness, "Grandmother's words are really killing Lan Er. If we are talking about someone who has a rich background, unless it is Grandmother, who can outdo Grandmother?"

Old Madame Ye was so coaxed by Jin Lan that she could not even close his mouth, "Look at that clever mouth!"

Jin Lan lowered his head, looking extremely embarrassed. However, his hidden eyes were filled with anxiety.

The old lady's attitude and words caused her to feel extremely uneasy.

Could it be as she had guessed, that the ancestor had done something in the dark?

She once again remembered the news that Ye Jinyu had braved so much to deliver to her at the Plum Pavilion.

Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince... In the end, could he still not dodge it?

Jin Lan clenched his fists.

No one could sense Jin Lan's emotions, even the Old Madame Ye beside her thought she was embarrassed. Only the Madame SHen looked worriedly at Jin Lan.

Ye Lin was in a good mood today, so he had obviously gotten some good news, and after smiling and echoing with the old lady for a while, he realized that the Madame SHen was still standing, and turned to look at the Madame SHen as he spoke: "LinRong, come sit here first, when the attendant is close to the door, there will be a report from the Attendant."

In the face of Ye Lin's tender feelings, Madame SHen's heart was as calm as water. She slightly nodded.

Seeing Madame SHen being so indifferent, Ye Lin frowned in displeasure, but he still remembered the Shen Family. In the end, he did not show Madame SHen his face, but only turned his head and did not look at her.

In that instant, everyone in the room had a different expression on their faces.

He waited anxiously for the time it took to make a cup of tea, but no one came to report. Ye Lin raised his head and looked out the door frequently.

Old Madame Ye glanced at Ye Lin who was impatient, "With Little Yellow Gate personally reporting, how can you fake it? If we can't even settle this matter, how can we help the Emperor in the imperial court in the future?! "

After being shouted at by the Old Madame Ye, Ye Lin's mind suddenly became clear, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of impure Qi, his face becoming gloomy, "Mother's teachings are correct."

Not long after, a Attendant quickly rushed into the main hall, "Reporting to the Lord, the carriage has already passed through the Arching Tree Lane!"

Ye Lin's expression shook greatly. "Quickly, come to the door and respectfully welcome His Majesty's decree!"

Everyone in the room stood up, and even the Old Madame Ye was supported by Pin Yue to the door. Jin Lan took the opportunity to return to Madame SHen.

Ye Lin and Old Madame Ye stood at the front, followed by Madame SHen and Jin Lan, and below them were Ye Jinwei, Ye Jinxian and the two aunts. The Attendant maid had long retreated to the end of the hall and knelt down.

After a while, a group of people slowly stopped outside the Ye Mansion gate.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" Following the sound of a sharp voice, a figure holding bright yellow silk high stepped into the Ye Family gate.

Everyone from the Ye Family all knelt down, bowed their heads in silence, with respectful and cautious expressions.

The attendant who passed down the decree first swept everyone with a haughty glance before carefully opening the silk.
