The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 14 A Laughingstock
That must be Li Yaoting's imperial edict of reward.

Yunwei was unwilling to go.

But since it was personally bestowed by the Emperor, it could not be neglected.

When Yunwei finished eating the lotus seed soup and went to the front yard, the Li family had already arrived. Everyone had a happy expression on their faces, and they had even set up a table and incense burner, waiting for the eunuch to announce the imperial decree.

Seeing that Yun Wei was late, Madam Li and Li Yaoting's expressions turned cold, clearly showing their displeasure. However, considering that the eunuch delivering the imperial decree was about to arrive, they held back for the time being.

A short while later, the eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree arrived.

He glanced at everyone present and then said, "Li Yaoting, receive the imperial decree!"

Li Yaoting immediately knelt down, and the others followed suit.

The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read aloud: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Li Yaoting, the eldest son of the Earl of Jing'an, was brave and skillful in battle against the Qiang Kingdom, killing countless enemies and making outstanding contributions. He is hereby granted permission to inherit the title of Earl of Jing'an, and is bestowed with one thousand taels of silver and two bolts of silk. It is hoped that he will continue to serve the court and make contributions to the country. This is the imperial decree!"

When Madam Li heard this, she was so happy she almost fainted.

By the time of Yaoting, the Li family had already declined. A few years ago, after the old Count passed away, she petitioned the court to grant the title of Earl, but received no response. She thought the title of Earl would be lost in her hands, but unexpectedly, Yaoting proved himself and inherited the title of Earl of Jing'an.

Madam Li almost burst into tears of joy, but she suppressed it, mindful that the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree was still there.

It's truly a blessing from heaven; the Li family is destined for great success.

Li Yaoting was also overjoyed.

Coming to his senses, he was filled with emotion and prostrated himself in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

After seeing the eunuch off, Old Madam Li excitedly grasped Li Yaoting's hand, "My son, you have truly made something of yourself. Our Li family can finally restore its former glory."

Seeing his mother's agitated state, Li Yaoting calmed down instead, and was somewhat puzzled.

During his three years at the border, he followed General Xu and encountered many treacherous enemies. He thought that with his military achievements, he could only attain a fifth-rank official position at most. However, the emperor directly granted him the title of earl. Although the earldom did not have any real power, it did come with a stipend, and the title of earl was quite intimidating, allowing him to refuse to bow to officials.

Could it be related to the Duke of Chen's mansion?

Thinking of this, Li Yaoting's heart stirred.

Yu Niang was truly his lucky star.

He smiled and said, "Thanks to my mother's guidance, she has worked so hard all these years."

Madam Li wiped her eyes and said, "As long as my son is successful, all my hardships are worth it."

"Congratulations, big brother!" Li Mingzhu exclaimed excitedly from the side.

"Congratulations, elder brother," Madam Shen said, though somewhat reluctantly.

Why did she marry a paralyzed man? And a second son at that, who didn't even have a chance to inherit the title.

Shen was somewhat disgruntled.

However, when she thought of the stewardship that the Yun family had given her, she became happy again.

She now holds the power to manage the household.

Although her mother-in-law promised Chen Yuniang yesterday that she would be given the power to manage the household after she entered the family, she was only a concubine. It would be ridiculous to let a concubine manage the household.

She will not hand over the management of the household to Chen Yuniang.

No one knew what Shen was thinking.

At this moment, Li Mingzhu was radiant, as if she were the one who had been rewarded. Seeing Yun Wei about to leave, her face darkened, and she blocked her way. Hmph, let this Yun family tease her that day!
Li Mingzhu said arrogantly, "Yun Shi, did you hear that? My elder brother has been rewarded by the Emperor!"
