Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 826: Many Cheats 147
Those people were blamed by their families, and they lived a miserable life just as Shen Yuanniang had imagined. Shen Yuanniang was very happy when she heard this, thinking that it was right to divorce. Otherwise, if she stayed in her ex-husband's family, the court would see her as the new emperor's aunt and would most likely not do anything to her ex-husband's family. In other words, her ex-husband's family could continue to live a good life, which was naturally not what she wanted to see, so it was right for her to leave.

Moreover, after the divorce, she found that she would not necessarily have a bad marriage, because not long after she returned to her parents' home, many families sent matchmakers to propose marriage to her.

Moreover, many of the families who came to propose marriage were not worse off than her ex-husband's family, and there were even families of the third rank. As for families of the fourth rank and lower fourth rank, there were even more who came to propose marriage. What's more important was that most of the men of this age who came to propose marriage were of the third or fourth rank themselves, not their sons. After all, Shen Yuanniang was now in her thirties or forties, just like Linlang. The men who came to propose marriage were naturally in their thirties or forties, and some were even in their forties or fifties. It was normal for an official of such an old age to be the one who came.

In other words, Shen Yuanniang would be able to become the mistress of the house and have an imperial decree after she got married. How wonderful it was! Shen Yuanniang was very surprised, thinking that now she could pick a good marriage at will, so it was right to divorce.

Of course, there were also people who asked for marriage on behalf of their sons. Most of these people were from families of the third rank. After all, a family of the third rank, such a high-ranking official, no longer needed to marry Shen Yuanniang to move up a level. However, their sons were unsuccessful, so they wanted to find a daughter-in-law like Shen Yuanniang, who had a great background, to ensure their sons' wealth in the future.

Most of those who personally proposed marriage were officials of the fourth or junior fourth rank. For officials who were not even in the third rank, it was difficult for them to move up to the next level on their own, so they wanted to marry a wife with a background so that they could climb the ladder more easily. So they set their sights on Shen Yuanniang.

That's right, she is now the queen's sister and the new emperor's aunt. With this status, who wouldn't want to marry her?

Even though it was said that her relationship with Empress Shen was average when she was at her natal family, there were still people who would marry her. After all, if she married him, she would become the emperor's brother-in-law, and who wouldn't want to be that?

Fortunately, Shen Yuanniang and Linlang have an average relationship. If they were very good, the Shen family's door would be patronized by now, and there would be more people seeking marriage. This is also normal. Women want to marry high-class women. In fact, men also want to marry women with good conditions who can lead them to success.

Linlang felt that if Shen Yuanniang married for the third time, there would probably be more chaos. The reason was very simple. Those men with good status came for Shen Yuanniang because she could lead them. If the identity of the emperor's brother-in-law was useless in the future, they would probably complain about Shen Yuanniang. It would be normal for there to be more chaos then.

But Shen Yuanniang didn't know all this. She was just very happy that after breaking off the engagement once and divorcing twice, she could still marry such a good man, no worse than the concubine's son of the Loyal and Brave Bo. You know, the concubine's son of the Loyal and Brave Bo, in this world, passed the imperial examination late, so he has not yet become a third-rank official, and is still at the fourth rank.

The man Shen Yuanniang chose to marry was a fourth-rank official. In this way, even if Zhongyong Bo's concubine passed the imperial examination and became a fourth-rank official, she would not be worse off than him if she divorced him. This was the reason why Shen Yuanniang chose to marry a fourth-rank official. You know, there were also fourth-rank officials and younger people who proposed to marry her, but she wanted to suppress Zhongyong Bo's concubine, so that others would not say that she had bad vision like her ex-husband's family did, and gave up Zhongyong Bo's concubine for a worse one. So she deliberately married a fourth-rank official, just to suppress Zhongyong Bo's concubine.

Although the person she is marrying now is a little older than herself, he is a rank 4th rank official. With her background, she thinks that he will have a promising future. He will not be worse off than the son of a loyal and brave baron. In that case, in the future, others will not be able to say that she has no vision. Not only did Shen Yuanniang rise to prominence with Linlang, but many people related to Linlang also rose to prominence. It is estimated that only Shen Erniang has not changed much.

The reason is very simple. The eldest son of Shen Erniang's husband's family, that is, her husband's great uncle, has passed away due to old age, and the other children in the family have no prospects and none of them are officials, so it is impossible for them to be promoted because of Linlang.

If she wanted to divorce and remarry like Shen Yuanniang did, Shen Erniang was different from Shen Yuanniang. Not to mention her bad reputation, in fact, Shen Yuanniang also had a bad reputation, so there was no difference between the two in this respect. But when she was in the capital, she had a bad relationship with Lady Jing'an and Linlang. If she wanted to divorce and remarry, she was afraid that she would not be able to rely on Linlang to marry a good one, and she would have to worry about being retaliated by Linlang when she went to the capital. Even now that Linlang became the queen, she was worried that Linlang would cause trouble for her. How could she dare to divorce and remarry? She hoped that Linlang would not remember her and let her go.

She used to dare to come to the capital, but now she doesn’t even dare to come. Even if her husband’s family said that the whole family should go to the capital to enjoy the benefits brought by the Queen’s sisters, she would never agree to do so.

But she refused to do so, and naturally her husband's family did not dare to force her. After all, they had heard that the eldest daughter of the Shen family kicked out her husband's family and prepared to marry someone else after Empress Shen became empress. Naturally, their family was afraid that if they forced Shen Er Niang into a corner, she would divorce and marry someone else. Then their family would not be able to enjoy the honor of being the empress's relatives. So seeing that Shen Er Niang did not want to go to Beijing and get promoted to a higher position, they could only let her do what she wanted. They thought, forget it, even if she didn't go to Beijing, as long as they told people that Shen Er Niang's sister was the current empress, they would be able to enjoy unlimited glory in the local area. So they didn't have to go to Beijing.

In fact, Shen Erniang was overthinking. Linlang had never thought of causing trouble for her. However, she was a person who liked to imagine things, otherwise she would not have kept thinking that the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an was a vicious stepmother who wanted to harm her.

A person who likes to imagine things, or who suffers from paranoia, will definitely not think that she will become rich when she sees someone she hates become the queen. She will only think that she will be in trouble. So it is normal that she will continue to stay in a small place and dare not go to Beijing.

Seeing that Shen Erniang didn't know what was going on in her mind and didn't dare to go to Beijing, Linlang was satisfied. After all, she didn't like Shen Erniang's persecution delusion at all, and she wanted her not to come, which was exactly what she wanted.

Without mentioning the changes in Shen Yuanniang and Shen Erniang, it is said that after Prince Anjiang ascended the throne, just as he had thought when he accepted the support of his ministers, he basically handed over all the affairs of the court to the ministers. He still lived a leisurely life and practiced inaction as before.

Of course, during the transition from the old to the new, it is a good idea to rule by doing nothing. After all, the situation is in chaos now. If he continues to work hard to govern, he will probably have to kill more people. By then, the whole capital will be filled with bloody terror.
