Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu stayed behind to see to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, while the rest of the family escorted Old Madam Yan and Madam Li back to Songhe Courtyard.
Once inside, Old Madam Yan's tensed emotions finally relaxed. Although this was the second time their family had received an imperial decree, she, a country old lady, still couldn't help feeling nervous.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, quick, show me the imperial edict. I didn't get a good look at it just now."
Madam Li hurriedly took the imperial edict from Ping Tong and personally handed it to the old lady.
Old Madam Yan carefully touched the imperial edict, her face and eyes full of smiles: "I never thought this old woman would see the day she would be granted an imperial edict. How wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Madam Li was also filled with joy and said, "I didn't expect it either."
