Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

When the old lady saw several people walking out, she felt very proud. She was afraid that this family would be in trouble. She was about to leave, but couldn't help but stay to watch the show. It turned out that His Majesty still remembered Beichen's contribution.

Liu Yanyan and the others heard the servant report, "My Lord, My Lord, Eunuch Li is here with the imperial edict."

Duke Liu immediately gave the order, "Quick, set up the incense table and receive the order!"

The servants quickly set up the incense table in the main courtyard. As soon as it was done, they saw Eunuch Li beside His Majesty coming in with a smile on his face, leading several guards.

Duke Liu led everyone forward and knelt, "I accept your order!"

Eunuch Li unfolded the imperial edict and read out, "The Emperor decrees that Duke Liu led people to provide disaster relief and protected hundreds of thousands of people in Jinyang. The people are grateful and have sent him an umbrella. Duke Liu is honest by nature and asks for nothing. He only has one daughter, Liu Yanyan. She is now named the county lord, with a salary of 1,000 households and the fiefdom of Liyang County."

Liu Yanyan took the imperial edict with both hands and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

Eunuch Li smiled, pulled Liu Yanyan up and said, "County Lady, there's no need to be so polite."

Duke Liu quickly took out a purse and handed it to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li weighed it and felt it was light. His smile became even wider. "Duke Liu, you gave birth to a good daughter!" After saying this, he was about to leave with the guards.

Duke Liu hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. This is a good thing. You can all share in the good news." After that, he handed a full purse to each person.

Several guards smiled and bowed, "Congratulations, Duke, congratulations, County Lady."

Only then did Eunuch Li take a few people away.

When the old lady saw Eunuch Li leaving and Duke Liu and Liu Yanyan were not taken out, she guessed that the Liu family must have been spared. When she thought of this possibility, she fell back.

Being supported by Nanny Zhao, he saw that the old lady's eyes were closed and was so scared that he asked the coachman to run to the clinic quickly.

When the servant of the Duke's Mansion saw this, he hurried to the main courtyard and said, "Miss, the old lady at the door fainted for some reason and is now being taken away by a carriage."

Duke Liu smiled and said, "Okay, it's good that she left. I think it's unlucky to have her at the door." He turned to look at the elders and continued, "Look, my daughter is now the county lady."

The elder of the clan rubbed his forehead, shaking with anger. "You, you don't want anything, and you give her a replacement. You really don't know the importance of things anymore."

Duke Liu shook his head and said, "Why don't you know the importance of this? It's enough as long as my daughter is doing well. How can I get promoted from my current position? I can't go any higher. It's enough as long as my daughter is doing well."

The clan elder gave Duke Liu a fierce glance and walked out with his walking stick.

The second clan elder smiled and said, "Nannan, very good."

The three elders looked at Liu Yanyan and Duke Liu and shook their heads, looking disappointed, and followed them out. If Old Liu didn't work hard and the younger generation behind him didn't help, how could he climb up? Is the Liu family really in trouble?

Duke Liu looked at the people and sighed, "It's pretty good now. There are only a few good ones who want to climb up!"

Liu Yanyan stood by and comforted him, "Dad, you gave me all the credit, won't you regret it?"

Duke Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What's there to regret? It's good enough to be able to stay in this position well. You are my daughter, who else can I give it to if not you?"

Liu Yanyan supported Duke Liu, who waved his hand and went to the study. He looked at the lofty aspirations he had written with a serious face. Didn't he want to? He wanted to, but he still had a family behind him, so he didn't dare! If he wasn't careful, his whole family would be destroyed.

Liu Yanyan took the imperial edict and came to the ancestral hall, where there were rows of ancestors of the Liu family. She placed the imperial edict on the altar next to her, and after burning incense, she knelt down with a kowtow and said, "I, Liu Yanyan, a descendant of the Liu family, have been granted the title of county princess by your majesty. I have come here to inform our ancestors." After kowtowing, she stood up.

Liu Yanyan walked aside and looked at her mother's tablet. She gently brushed away the dust on it with her fingers. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and she said in a choked voice, "Mother, Yanyan made you worried. Yanyan can come back, right? Mother loves Yanyan, so she let Yanyan come back! Wuuuu, why didn't mother let Yanyan take a look! Wuuuuuu"

Yuzhu and Yuzhen at the back also lowered their heads and wiped their tears. They didn't understand what the young lady said, but they felt very distressed and felt unbearable pain in their hearts. The young lady had it so hard. Fortunately, they got divorced.

Liu Yanyan cried heartbrokenly in the ancestral hall for a long time before she stopped. When she walked out of the ancestral hall, her eyes were red and swollen.

Yuzhu hurried forward to support her and said, "Husband, Miss, please don't cry. If the mistress in heaven sees you crying like this, she will be distressed."

Liu Yanyan wiped her tears as she walked, "I won't cry, I won't cry, I can't let mother worry."

Return to Guiranju

Housekeeper Liu came over and said, "Miss, being a county lady is a good thing. Don't cry. The master specially asked the kitchen to make stewed bear paws for you. Please try it."

Liu Yanyan nodded. "Okay, thank you, Daddy. Daddy was in a bad mood just now. How are you now?"

Butler Liu forced a smile and said, "The master is holding the portrait and talking to the lady."

Liu Yanyan nodded. It seemed that her father also missed her mother. She waved her hand to signal Butler Liu to leave. Yuzhu and Yuzhen also stood by.

When she saw the dish in front of her, she took a piece and it still tasted the same as before. She smiled and said, "Yuzhu, give some reward to the chef who cooked this dish." He must be an old chef. She had eaten this when she was a child.

Liu Yanyan had just finished her meal when she heard a commotion outside. She subconsciously frowned and turned her head to look at Yuzhu.

Yuzhu took the teacup, put it on the table and said, "Miss, it's General Gu, shouting at the door, saying that the old lady was bullied at the door of the mansion, and the Duke has gone to deal with it."

Liu Yanyan took a sip of tea and said, "Dad, you've worked so hard." How could this family have no dignity at all! After the old ones made a fuss, the young ones made a fuss, and they didn't even have the dignity to care about anything.

Soon, Duke Liu came over, took off his cloak, and looked speechless. After entering the house, he put on a faint smile and said, "Yan Yan, how was the food just now? Was it delicious?"

Liu Yanyan also smiled and said, "Daddy, it's delicious. It tastes the same as before. It's delicious."

Duke Liu nodded and said, "I'm glad you like it. I'm glad you like it. Butler Liu brought this back specifically for you to replenish your body."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Daddy must love me, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Uncle Liu to buy it. It's really rare."

Duke Liu looked at Nannan, without a trace of the heartbreak that Gu Beichen had described, and smiled and said, "Nannan, if you like it, I'll ask them to find it again. I won't let you down in the slightest."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and said, "Daddy, no need. No matter how delicious it is, it won't taste the same if you eat it often."

Duke Liu nodded and said, "Okay, Daddy will find you something else. Daddy's daughter should use and eat the best."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "Daddy, you just love your daughter too much, you're talking nonsense."

Duke Liu chatted with Liu Yanyan for a long time, and only left when he saw that she was stable. When he left, he was still cursing inwardly, "Gu Beichen is really haunting. His mother fainted, and he still wanted to blame the Duke's Mansion. Humph, he doesn't know what he is talking about."
