Chapter 1280 The Widow Queen
Who would have thought that the smile on Qin Wansha's lips deepened, she turned back to look at the clan leader, and then left with two guards, while the remaining guards consciously stayed to guard the account books.
Although Qin Wansha didn't say anything, the clan leader instantly read a trace of contempt and teasing from Qin Wansha's expression. It had been a long time since he had been contradicted by a junior like this. The clan leader felt embarrassed and could only look at Qin Wansha's back and said angrily: "Ignorant junior!"
After saying this, the clan leader had to flick his sleeves and chase Qin Wansha's back and walk out together.
The main hall of Rong Bo's Mansion is in the backyard where the masters live, and is mostly used for family gatherings. The place to receive the imperial edict is the front hall in the front yard, which is generally used to entertain foreign guests.
Qin Wansha was also quite curious along the way. It was not for anything else, she really wanted to know what kind of imperial edict Xiao Qichen had made for her?
Qin Wansha saw the confident expressions on the faces of Mrs. Rong and others, but she didn't think that Xiao Qichen would be persuaded by Prince Jinchen to issue an order that was unfavorable to her.
When she arrived at the front hall, the second master and Mrs. Rong had already chatted with the eunuch who delivered the order for several sentences, and Mrs. Rong was holding a purse in her hand and wanted to give it to the other party.
Unfortunately, the eunuch who delivered the order just smiled, but refused to take it.
The number of times that Rong Bo's Mansion received imperial edicts was very few, and Mrs. Rong and others were not so clear about these rules. Seeing that the eunuch who delivered the order refused to take it, they just thought that the eunuch who delivered the order was dissatisfied with the amount, and Mrs. Rong hurriedly signaled Nan Xiang to bring up another purse.
When she saw Qin Wansha, the smile on Mrs. Rong's face was obviously a few points lighter, but after a moment, she became proud again, standing in front of the eunuch who delivered the order and smiling at Qin Wansha.
It was precisely because of this action that Madam Rong did not see the bright expression of the eunuch's eyes when he saw Qin Wansha, and even the smile on his face was more sincere.
The other people in the Rong family did not recognize the eunuch who delivered the edict, but Qin Wansha knew who he was - it was the eunuch De beside Xiao Qichen.
When Eunuch De saw Qin Wansha coming, he immediately smiled at her in a friendly and respectful manner, and at the same time, he flicked his whisk and said in a shrill voice: "Since everyone is here, please kneel down to receive the edict."
Following Eunuch De's words, everyone became excited. The elders of the Rong family, who had already arranged their positions, as well as Madam Rong and the people from the second and third rooms, all knelt down in the direction of the palace.
They seemed to have deliberately forgotten Qin Wansha, the "latecomer". There was no seat reserved for Qin Wansha in the front, and they deliberately knelt down one step earlier than Qin Wansha, in order to embarrass Qin Wansha, and even bear the reputation of disrespect and offend the saint.
Only the clan leader who was chasing after Qin Wansha and was really ‘late’ saw with his own eyes the eunuch who was delivering the decree personally holding Qin Wansha’s hand when she walked to the front and was about to kneel down, and the young eunuchs around him even more attentively moved a chair over and helped Qin Wansha sit down.
Due to the rules, one cannot raise his head when listening to the decree, and the other members of the Rong family did not notice this at all. However, when they heard the first sentence spoken by the eunuch who delivered the decree, they were completely dumbfounded.
