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

Chapter 271 Village Head, did I hear that right? Wanqiu has become a princess?
Sheng Wanqiu is simply amazing! She actually became a princess, and now the entire Lin'an County is her fiefdom! My God!

"Come in quickly, have some tea and something to eat. Everything is ready. Please come in!" After receiving the imperial edict, Granny Sheng wanted the eunuch who was delivering the decree to enter the courtyard.

“Madam, you don’t need to be so polite. This servant would like to ask you to lead the way. I need to go and deliver the imperial edict to the two ladies. Would it be convenient for you?”

"What does that mean? What 'Gongren'?" Granny Sheng didn't understand for a moment, so Fan Qifeng took the opportunity to go over and whisper in Granny Sheng's ear.

"Hahaha! Alright, alright, I'll take you there now!"

Granny Sheng was delighted to hear this. She knew that Sheng Wanqiu was a thoughtful girl. She didn't expect that not only she would receive an award, but both of her daughters would as well. Now, her two daughters' status in their husband's family would definitely rise steadily!
As soon as Granny Sheng was helped into the magnificent carriage by two old women and left with the procession reading the imperial edict, the entire Qingshan Village erupted in excitement, and everyone swarmed around Sheng, the village head.

"Village head, did I hear that right? Wanqiu has become a princess? Does that mean the entire Lin'an County belongs to her from now on?"

"Village head, how come this Sheng family girl is so capable? Sigh! Why didn't we have such a promising granddaughter in our family?"

"Village head, do you think that Sheng family girl will come back?"

"This old woman, Sheng, will be a first-rank imperial consort from now on. Isn't that even more powerful than our county magistrate?"

Sheng Li was having a headache from all the noise from the villagers. He was completely bewildered. Sheng Wanqiu was now a princess, and she would be the biggest support in their village from now on. Fortunately, they had a good relationship before and he hadn't offended Wanqiu much, otherwise he would be in real trouble now!

"What's all the noise about? Get back to work in the fields! What are you all thinking about!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you. You all better watch out from now on. If anyone dares to gossip behind your backs again, they'll be beheaded. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now get out of here!"

After saying this, Sheng Lizheng pushed through the crowd and ran away. He wanted to go home and think carefully about whether he had offended Wanqiu in any way. When Sheng Wanqiu returned, he would go to her house to apologize first.

Sheng Dashan, the eldest uncle of the Sheng family, was more heartbroken than if his wife had died. When those boxes of gifts were carried into the courtyard, his heart was bleeding with jealousy.

If he had treated Sheng Wanqiu and her brother better before, he might have received a reward from the emperor. The thought that his elder sister and younger sister would receive rewards and that he would receive a salary from the court in the future made him heartbroken.

It's all Liu Juan's fault. Yes, it's all that bitch's fault. If she hadn't been so petty and calculating, Sheng Wanqiu would never have forgotten her uncle.

Then when Liu Juan returned dejectedly, she was greeted by a stick thrown by Sheng Dashan, which beat her until she was barely breathing before Sheng Dashan calmed down a little.

Meanwhile, Sheng Chunhua, the eldest aunt, was beaming with joy. Her eldest niece had become a princess, her mother a noblewoman, and she herself a fifth-rank lady-in-waiting, with a future stipend from the imperial court.

Most importantly, from now on, the entire Lin'an County will be under the jurisdiction of her eldest niece, hahaha! Then she can do whatever she wants.

Whether Lin'an County becomes chaotic or not will be entirely up to the Sheng family! My God! I can't even imagine it! This is absolutely amazing!

Sheng Wanqiu: ??? She wouldn't even dare to think like that, her aunt really dared to do that! Did she not want her entire family lineage anymore?
Time flies, and soon the day of the banquet arrived. For the past few days, Sheng Wanqiu had been running around with Xia Hua and Qiu Yi every day, and the Qiao family rarely saw her even during meals, wondering what she was busy with. "Little girl! We've finally caught you! What have you been up to these past few days? Don't forget the banquet at the palace tonight!"

Sheng Wanqiu had just returned from outside when she was caught red-handed by Qiao Wenyuan, who was sitting on the steps of the courtyard waiting for her.

"Dad, why aren't you taking a nap? What are you doing here?"

"I'm busy doing market research. Don't you remember I used to raise a pond of pearls at home?"

"I reckon by the time we get back from Beixu, we'll be able to fish them out and make jewelry. So my legs are sore from running around these past few days, I'm exhausted!"

Sheng Wanqiu also plopped down on the steps by the door, picked up the tea that Qiao Wenyuan had poured, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Market research? What does that mean?" Qiao Wenyuan didn't understand for a moment. Seeing that Sheng Wanqiu had finished her glass of water, he immediately poured her another glass.

"I'm thinking of opening a jewelry shop. I've already visited several famous jewelry shops in the capital these past few days to understand their market positioning and see what's trending lately. That way, I hope I can make a fortune with a bang when I open, hehe!"

"Furthermore, I want to combine the flower shop and the jewelry shop, so these past few days I've been researching the market and looking for suitable storefronts, which has kept me incredibly busy!"

"You want to open a shop? You should have said so earlier. Come on, your father has several shops in good locations. Take a look and if you like any of them, you can use them to open a shop." When Qiao Wenyuan heard that Sheng Wanqiu wanted to open a shop, he immediately wanted to support her.

"Father, don't rush this. I've heard that the jewelry from Dongxu Kingdom is the most fashionable among these countries. I'll take advantage of this grand court assembly to see if I can get to know a few people from Dongxu Kingdom. Maybe we can even spark some conversation."

"Also, isn't Tianqi Kingdom located by the sea? Sea pearls are even more precious than freshwater pearls. We can talk to them about the supply of these pearls later."

"So, Father, let's put this shop aside for now and talk about everything else after we return from the Grand Court Assembly!"

Sheng Wanqiu told Qiao Wenyuan all her thoughts without reservation. She knew that Qiao Wenyuan would never harm her, so she had no intention of hiding anything.

"Hahaha, I knew my little daughter was the most capable. I hope she can make money from several other countries in one go! Hahaha! Don't worry, your dad will definitely support you!"

Qiao Wenyuan knew that Sheng Wanqiu was shrewd and capable. As long as the girl wanted to do something, there was nothing she couldn't do. Whenever he needed to handle something, he would definitely do it perfectly for his little girl.

"Auntie, I'm so glad you're here. Something terrible has happened at my house. My second brother asked me to come and get you to help!"

Xiao Yu, also known as Yu Guijiao, rushed in at this moment and grabbed Sheng Wanqiu, trying to run outside.

"Stop! You disrespectful brat! Tell me what's going on? Then you can leave!" Qiao Wenyuan shouted, startling Yu Guijiao into immobility.
