Shen Yichen didn't say much, turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

But at this moment, shopkeeper Wang behind him stopped him and said: "Master Zhuangyuan, I have something to tell you!"

"What's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Wang took out a letter from under the counter, handed it to Shen Yichen and said, "Master Zhuangyuan, this is the letter Mr. Li asked me to give to you. He checked out and left ten days ago."

"What?"

Hearing this, Shen Yichen was shocked. He had originally thought about picking up his teacher and mother this time and living together in his newly bought house.

Anyway, the yard is big enough and I can take care of my husband personally, which is better than living in a clubhouse.

As a result, I never expected that Mr. Li Tingxiu had already left!

Just when Shen Yichen was subconsciously preparing to open the letter and see what his husband had written, Wang Neng appeared in the corridor above.

"Master Shen, you are here!"

Seeing Wang Neng, Shen Yichen didn't bother to open the letter and quickly asked him: "Wang Neng, where is my mother?"

"Chen'er, mother is here."

Behind Wang Neng, a familiar face appeared, Mrs. Shen's eyes were full of tears.

In addition, behind Shen, there were about a dozen strong and burly men in well-dressed clothes standing. They were the miners specially selected by Ye Zongliu to go to the capital to help Shen Yichen.

"mother……"

Shen Yichen originally thought that he had been tempered in the officialdom and had become much more stable. However, after meeting his mother, Mrs. Shen, he was still choked up and speechless for a moment.

Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Shen Yichen knelt down and saluted: "The child has lived up to his mother's expectations. Now he has achieved three yuan and is the leader in the world!"

"well……"

Mrs. Shen burst into tears when she saw her mature and thinner son in front of her, becoming the number one scholar in the Three Yuan Dynasty.

She had worked hard all her life to raise Shen Yichen, hoping that her son would be successful, gain the approval of Duke Zhu Yong, and return to the palace.

In this way, the son will no longer be looked down upon and laughed at by the world, thinking that he is a slave boy who was abandoned by his father!

Now Shen Yichen's achievements have far exceeded Shen's original expectations. Emotions such as excitement, joy, and relief came over her, leaving her speechless and choked for a moment.

"Mom, don't get too excited, now is just the beginning, good times are yet to come."

"Well, Chen'er has a promising future. Mom believes in you!"

Mrs. Shen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face that was filled with tears of joy.

The most difficult days are over, and she believes that her son will get better and better!

After comforting his mother for a few words, Shen Yichen asked A Niu to go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion first to inform him, and he would lead his mother there shortly afterwards. As for Wang Neng and other miners, Cang Huotou led him to the newly purchased house, otherwise The group of them was too conspicuous.

Back then, in order to protect her own safety, my mother left the Chengguo Palace overnight and did not dare to enter again. Today, I want to take my mother back and go back in an upright manner!

In the carriage, as she got closer and closer to the Duke Cheng's mansion, Mrs. Shen became more and more nervous and subconsciously grabbed her son Shen Yichen's arm.

"Mom, relax. My child is no longer the child who couldn't protect himself. He can now stand upright in front of the father-in-law."

"Um."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen nodded heavily, feeling proud.

However, when she thought of Mrs. Lin, the gloom in her heart lingered, and she said, "Chen'er, Mrs. Lin is now a duchess. She will never forget what happened back then."

"Now that my mother's wish has been fulfilled, there is nothing to be afraid of. The only thing I am worried about is that she will attack you. What should I do?"

Now that Ms. Shen has seen that Shen Yichen has become a talented person and will get married soon, she feels that her life has been fulfilled. The only thing that worries her is that she is afraid that Mr. Lin will take revenge on Shen Yichen in order to cover up the secrets of the past.

After all, the other party is a high-ranking duchess, and it is difficult for the son to compete with her.

Hearing this, Shen Yichen smiled easily and said, "Mom, don't worry, you will understand later."

The current situation in the palace is no longer that Mrs. Lin is thinking about how to attack Shen Yichen, but that Shen Yichen is looking for an excuse for Zhu Ji and wants to fight back against the mother and son.

Even in extreme circumstances, Shen Yichen would consider joining forces with Zhu Yi. I believe that the eldest son of Chengguo Palace would be happy to see this happen.

"Um."

Shen nodded doubtfully, her thoughts and ideas were more focused on the time in Yingtian.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Chengguo Duke's mansion. With A Niu's advance notice, Butler Wu had already led a group of servants from the Duke's mansion to stand on both sides of the mansion to welcome Shen into the mansion.

After opening the carriage door curtain, Mrs. Shen saw this grand scene and looked at her son Shen Yichen in disbelief.

Because according to her previous status, she was not qualified for the servants of the mansion to go out to greet her, let alone Butler Wu.

Facing his mother Shen's surprised look, Shen Yichen just smiled and said nothing. He first jumped out of the carriage, and then helped his mother down.

"Welcome to Aunt Shen!"

The servants in the mansion all saluted Mrs. Shen, which shocked her even more.

Aunt?

You must know that the title of aunt is only for concubines in the high-rise compound, and there are no slaves or maids. The younger ones call them girls, and the older ones call them by their first names. Why do these people call themselves aunts?

Could it be?

Thinking of this, even Shen herself felt it was impossible. Why would the father-in-law help her carry a concubine after being ignored for so many years?

"Aunt Shen, please come this way."

Butler Wu came to Mrs. Shen's side and extended his hand to invite her into the house.

Mrs. Shen bowed and bowed. She knew that Butler Wu had been in the palace for many years and had a high status. Today's polite gesture was very polite.

But just when Shen was about to step into the house, Shen Yichen reached out to stop her, and then shook her head gently.

"Butler Wu, I hope the middle door will be opened!"

As soon as Shen Yichen said these words, the servants of the palace, including Butler Wu, all looked at him in surprise.

The middle door of Chengguo Duke's Mansion will be opened only when distinguished guests such as distinguished ministers and ministers arrive. In addition, except for the first wife, the concubines are not qualified to enter the main entrance and can only use the side door.

"Master Shen, this is inconsistent with etiquette and law. This old servant cannot open the middle door."

Hearing Butler Wu's objection, Mrs. Shen was also surprised. She didn't know why her son would say such words.

Just when she was about to open her mouth to persuade, Shen Yichen continued: "Steward Wu, my mother has been given the title of Imperial Lady by His Majesty, please open the middle door!"

In ancient times, once a concubine was given the title of royal wife, she was nominally a registered official of the imperial court, and was no longer just a low-status concubine. She was qualified to go through the main door in life and death, and be buried in ancestral graves, and even be able to live with her legitimate wife under special circumstances. Sit on an equal footing.

So when Shen Yichen said these words, the expressions on the faces of everyone present were extremely shocked. The concubine was sealed by the emperor. How on earth did this happen?

But the problem also arises. Butler Wu and the others don't know about this at all, and there is no imperial edict. Who can guarantee that this is true?

But equally, they couldn't believe it was fake.

You must know that falsely passing on the holy edict is a capital offense. No matter how impulsive Shen Yichen is, he will not talk nonsense on this matter, right?

"Master Shen, this old servant..."

Butler Wu has served in the Chengguo Palace for decades, and his horizons are not low. But he has never even heard of this kind of thing, and he doesn't know what to do.

In addition, even if the Shen family is granted a royal decree, it is not an imperial decree to be received. If she does not reach the level of a first-class royal wife, she is not worthy of opening the central gate of the Duke's mansion.

"Aniu, open the middle door!"

Shen Yichen was too lazy to say any more. With the status of Mrs. Gaoming, it was no longer a violation of etiquette to enter the middle school. It was just a matter of status and official rank.

A noble man can leave, but his mother cannot leave even once in her life?

Shen Yichen secretly swore in Yingtian that he would never let his mother Shen suffer humiliation and contempt from the outside world again.

When I return to the mansion today, I have to go in through the middle door in a dignified manner. If Duke Cheng Zhu Yong pursues the case in the future, he will bear the responsibility himself!

If you don't even have the courage to break down your inferiority for your mother, how can you change the world's thinking?

"Yes, Brother Chen!"

Ah Niu didn't want to talk nonsense. He rushed over, took off the latch of the middle door, and then pushed open the two red animal-headed doors!

"Mom, please!"

Shen Yichen bowed her waist and made an invitation gesture, signaling her mother, Mrs. Shen, to enter the middle door.

But Shen didn't know what to do for a moment. She suffered too much impact in a short period of time, and she was completely confused.

Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that one day his son would allow him to enter the Chengguo Palace through the middle gate.

"Let's go, mother."
