Something big?

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and carefully searched her mind for memories of her previous life, but she didn't have any impression of them.

Then what exactly was the major event that he spoke of?

When the three of them left the great hall, they discovered that the last remaining people in the "D" room had already left. An elderly palace maid came up with a wind lantern in her hand to lure them away from the palace.

There were a few carriages parked here and there outside the west gate. Jiang Wan found her family's black-painted horse-headed carriage with almost no effort at all.

Clove, who had been waiting in the car, stuck her head out and helped Jiang Wan into the car.

"Eh? Fourth Miss, didn't the Fifth Miss come out with you? " Pearl, who was also in the car, saw that there was already no one behind Jiang Wan, and couldn't help but worry.

"What did you say?" has Big Sis Shu'er never come out? " Jiang Wan thought of how she had asked the attendant to go find Jiang Shu. Had he never been able to find her?

She stuck her head out of the carriage, but could think of nothing else to do.

Just as she was at her wits' end, she saw a maid running out from the palace door, looking at their carriage from afar and shouting, "Is it Vice Minister Jiang's carriage?"

Hearing that, Jiang Wan quickly got out of the carriage, stood next to the carriage and said, "That's right."

He took out a small cloth bag from his lapel and stuffed it into Jiang Wan's hands, "Eunuch Feng asked me to pass on a message. He can't do what the lady asked him to do, so he specifically asked me to return this matter to her."

Through the cloth bag, Jiang Wan took out the pure gold bracelet that she had requested from the waiter earlier.

She anxiously pulled at the servant girl and asked: "Young eunuch, did Eunuch Feng tell me what happened to my sister?"

The young servant just shook her head, and said, "Eunuch didn't say anything," before running away.

Jiang Wan only felt that it was double. His legs gave out and he was about to fall to the side.

What happened to Jiang Shu in there?

Jiang Wan looked at the cold palace wall, but no one could answer her.

"Let's return to the residence first." Jiang Wan knew that she couldn't wait any longer here, so she got the coachman to pull the carriage back to Three String Lane.

At this moment, the Qin family was waiting outside the Hanging Flower Gate.

When the carriage that led to the palace returned, she hurriedly went up to welcome them, but when she saw Jiang Wan'er get off the carriage, she anxiously asked, "Where's Sister Shu?"

Jiang Wan looked at her and vaguely said, "She …" "He's left in the palace …"

The Qin family was stunned at first, then they pulled Jiang Wan and asked: "What's the meaning of staying in the palace?"

Jiang Wan only shook her head, lightly said, "I don't know either," and walked towards the inner courtyard with her head lowered.

"Sigh, you damn girl. What do you mean you don't know?" The Qin family followed behind Jiang Wan and cursed, "If the two of you entered the palace together, who would know?"

Jiang Chuanzhong, who was originally sitting in the private room of Jun Yating's hall, heard the strangeness in the courtyard. Thus, he lifted the curtain and came out as well, standing under the eaves and looking at Jiang Wan with an inquisitive expression.

Jiang Wan stood there, not knowing how to explain what had happened today to her family. Just when she was at a loss for words, she saw a group of guards wearing fiery red flying fish uniforms charge in with sabers on their backs.

"Old... "Master …" née Qin, who had never seen such a scene before, was already frightened to death. She looked at Jiang Chuanzhong as if she was begging for help, only to find that he was also frozen in place.

Jiang Wan looked at the crowd before her with astonishment; she was already speechless.

At this moment, someone from the outer courtyard shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived. Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Jiang Chuanzhong, has received it."

When Jiang Chuzhong heard this, he immediately had his wife instruct him to set up a incense table. Then, he returned to his inner room and changed into his official uniform. He led the way by kneeling on a blue brick in the courtyard.

Hearing that an imperial edict had arrived, Zhao Su Niang quickly brought Brother Sheng out from the west wing and knelt behind née Qin.

Jiang Wan also quickly pulled the Qin family to their knees.

The attendant swept his eyes over the crowd in the courtyard, and with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, he looked at Jiang Chuanzhong and said, "Vice Minister Jiang, is everyone from your house here? "Then we shall announce the imperial edict."

Jiang Chuanzhong knelt there in fear and said, "I'll be troubling you."

The attendant opened the five-colored cloud crane design and began to read out the imperial edict: "With the blessing of the heavens, the emperor decrees that today there will be Jiang Shu, the daughter of the Jiang family, quiet and gentle, beautiful and light, graceful and quiet, graceful and cautious. With that, he will be conferred the title of a genuine seventh grade peaceful noble person.

As soon as the attendant finished speaking, the entire courtyard was in complete silence.

Titled a noble of the seventh rank?

Jiang Wan knelt there, these words floating in her mind, What did Jiang Shu do in the palace?

"Vice Minister Jiang, accept the decree." The attendant laughed. "Your Majesty favored your daughter and bestowed her with the title of a noble of the seventh rank. Truly, the emperor's favor is vast and mighty!"

"This official is Jiang Chuanzhong!" Jiang Chuanzhong, whose mind was blank, took the imperial edict dumbly. Then, he stood up and wiped his sweaty forehead. Only then did he regain his senses and took out the silver phoenix that he had prepared when he was changing clothes.

The attendant laughed before leaving in satisfaction with the guards in their flying fish uniforms.

The Qin family looked at the empty courtyard and stared blankly for a long time. It was only after much difficulty did they regain their senses and snatch the imperial edict from Jiang Chuanzhong's hands. They asked in disbelief, "My Sis Shu'er really sealed up the Empress?"

"The imperial edict is down, how can it be fake?" Jiang Chuzhong looked at the Qin family with some dissatisfaction, then looked at Jiang Wan'er and said, "Sister Wan'er, come with me."

Jiang Wan, who had been worried until now, was finally relieved of her worries. She followed behind Jiang Chuzhong into Jun Yating's hall. Without waiting for him to speak, she told him everything she knew.

"In other words, even you don't know what happened to Chu Feng after that?" Jiang Chuanzhong said with a serious expression on his face after hearing what Jiang Wan had to say.

"Your daughter was worried that something would happen to Sis Shu, and even specially requested the help of an elder of the palace to search for her." Jiang Wan hid her words. "But just when I was about to leave the palace, that eunuch withdrew the scarlet gold bracelet I took earlier. I predicted that something must have happened to Shu'er in the palace …"

Back then, his eldest daughter, Jiang Yu, was sent to the crown prince's mansion, but he wasn't worried at all. He knew that Jiang Yu was too observant, knew when to advance and when to retreat.

"She's always had a prideful personality. Although she managed to pass on the title of a seventh-grade noble without any danger," Jiang Chuzhong couldn't help but worry. "But who knows if it'll be a blessing or a curse for her in the future?"

Two of his three daughters were sent to the lofty palace walls. Jiang Chuanzhong thought of the time when he rushed to the capital to take the exam that year. A drunken, mud-headed monk was holding onto his hand to tell him his fortune.

He had also said that the bald monk was just a scam, but now it seemed that he had the gall to do so.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at his second daughter. Where would she belong?
