The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 270 I'll come to the Qiao residence to tell her after everything is settled.
She throws out the huge temptation of retirement, and anyone with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't easily betray her.

"This old servant will certainly not disappoint the princess's expectations, and will always follow your lead!"

Granny Qiu and Granny Lü knelt down to pay their respects, both secretly delighted. They never expected that in their old age they would be following such a generous mistress. They had to follow her to the death. If their old sisters in the palace knew that their princess would take care of them in their old age, they would be green with envy.

You know, when they were choosing people, many people were unwilling to follow this princess, saying there was no future in it. If they hadn't been ostracized and hadn't been short of money to give gifts, they wouldn't have been chosen. It's like turning misfortune into blessing!
Knowing what the two nannies were good at, Sheng Wanqiu sent them back to the princess's residence first. Nanny Lü was put in charge of the kitchen, food, and supplies, while Nanny Qiu was put in charge of the accounts. They were essentially made the stewards of the princess's residence, and all the management matters were handed over to her.

The two thanked her profusely and went back to tidy up. They would come to the Qiao residence to tell her when they were ready, and then she could move in.

At this moment, the Qian family was trembling with fear. When they learned what had happened at Lu Zhi’s residence, they had already guessed that their house was also the work of Sheng Wanqiu. All that talk about heavenly lightning and earthly fire was just nonsense.

It was Sheng Wanqiu who was behind this. The Duke of Xin, who originally planned to seek justice from Grand Tutor Qiao, gave up on his plan after learning at the morning court that Sheng Wanqiu had been directly granted the title of princess by the emperor.

Especially when he later learned that the emperor had personally sent Zhang Dehai to beat up Lu Zhi and his son because of Princess Yonghe, he became even more terrified. He was afraid that if Sheng Wanqiu remembered his troublesome son, she would send the emperor to his house to give them a good beating, which would be truly terrible.

He had heard that Lu Zhi was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for at least three months, and that his son had not only been beaten but also stripped of his right to participate in scientific research, which made him even more anxious and uneasy.

You have to understand that he has three sons. Apart from this troublesome eldest son, the other two sons are the hope of the family. If they are punished, he will be devastated.

So as soon as court was over, he gave his fat son a good beating, telling him to turn around and run away whenever he saw Sheng Wanqiu, and never to cause him any more trouble. If he didn't listen, he should sever ties with him to save his whole family from being dragged down.

Qian Pangzi was also quite frightened and repeatedly said that he would definitely avoid Sheng Wanqiu in the future. However, the Duke of Xin was still extremely nervous and directly placed his fat son under house arrest, saying that he could only come out when the storm had passed.

Time flew by, and two days later, Granny Sheng's reward arrived.

Early this morning, Granny Sheng was feeding the chickens at home. She was so bored at home that she took a few chicks from other villagers to raise at home. Since there were other people doing the housework, she just wandered around all day, like a typical idler in Qingshan Village.

A few days ago, my third son's mistress came to my door, and we had a fight. Lately, I haven't had any fun and I'm so bored I'm practically farting.

"Grandma, someone's coming from the village entrance, heading home!" Da Du rushed in from outside the yard carrying a basket, nearly trampling the chicks inside.

"Who goes there? Are they here to cause trouble? I'm just bored out of my mind, you sons of bitches, let's kill them!"

Granny Sheng grabbed an axe and was ready to fight. She mainly thought it was her third son's lover who had brought people to seek revenge, since she had been wronged last time and this time they were here for retribution.

"No, no, no! Madam, it's a gift, not a fight!" Da Du grabbed Granny Sheng and said breathlessly.

"What reward? For me? Hahahaha! Could it be that my precious granddaughter got me that kind of lady position, hahaha!" "Why are you talking so dramatically, child? Sigh! Hurry up and get ready!"
So Granny Sheng quickly ran back to her room to change her clothes, and then the sound of music and drumming grew closer and closer until it stopped at the gate of the Sheng family.

Fan Qifeng bowed and scraped the whole way. Good heavens, the Sheng family girl has become a princess. From now on, she will be in charge of Lin'an County. She's really too awesome.

The people in Qingshan Village were also shocked by the grand spectacle. There was blowing and beating, and it was so lively that it was unbelievable. The main reason was that Sheng Wanqiu said that Granny Sheng liked to show off, so the Emperor of Dayue arranged for Zhang Dehai to organize it. The more ostentatious the better, the more it could be, in order to show off the Emperor's boundless grace.

So the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree put on this show, with music and fanfare all the way. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a wedding procession!
"Is Tao Youqin here?" Fan Qifeng politely stepped forward and knocked on the door. Although the Sheng family's door was not closed, he knew that from now on, this old woman Sheng would be the princess's grandmother, and he had to treat her with respect, lest Sheng Wanqiu come back and make things difficult for him, which he couldn't bear.

"I'm coming!"

Then everyone saw the old lady, dressed in a brand-new dress, running out with a smile, followed by three servants of the Sheng family, also dressed in new clothes.

These were made by Granny Sheng for Da Du and Xiao Du to wear. After all, they were people from the palace, and she couldn't let her granddaughter lose face.

"Are you Tao Youqin?" asked one of the eunuchs who was reading the imperial edict.

"Yes, it is indeed I!"

The people in Qingshan Village mainly call her Granny Sheng. Not many people know her real name. When they first hear this name, they are all stunned.

"Tao Youqin, receive the imperial decree!" The eunuch produced the imperial decree, and Fan Qifeng knelt down first. Granny Sheng immediately knelt down as well. She knew this; she had heard her grandson say that one had to kneel when receiving an imperial decree.

Then the villagers who had come to watch the commotion all knelt down in a rush.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees!" The eunuch began to read the imperial edict. When Granny Sheng learned that she had been granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, she was overjoyed. Hahaha! She even had a salary to receive! She was so happy, so incredibly happy.

The people of Qingshan Village were all shocked, thinking they had misheard. It was as if the ancestral graves of the Sheng family were emitting auspicious smoke!
Especially when they saw boxes of gifts being carried into the courtyard, they were incredibly jealous. Why didn't their family have such a capable granddaughter? It was infuriating!
"These two were specially ordered by Princess Yonghe to be sent over by servants, who said they would serve you personally."

After the eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree finished reading the decree and the rewards, he introduced the two strong and healthy old women to Granny Sheng separately.

"This child is really something. It's not like I can't walk anymore, why would I need someone to take care of me! Honestly, sometimes a granddaughter being too filial can be a burden!"

Granny Sheng covered her mouth and burst out laughing, making the surrounding villagers' teeth ache.
