The marriage certificate had the seals of the heads of each family and the most authoritative elders. What was missing now was the seal of Ming Jintong's family.

Once both parties of a large family have stamped their seals, each family will revise the family tree and submit it to the local government office in charge of household registration for filing.

Shi Anxia was fully prepared, and with lightning speed, he resolutely made the move to break off the relationship.

Ming Zhao had been waiting for this day for many years.

Ming Zhao raised his voice and ordered, "Bai Shu, prepare the writing brush and ink."

Her personal maid Bai Shu responded, and after a moment, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone were ready.

Ming Zhao finished it in one stroke, then stamped and pressed his fingerprint on the letter of severance.

She walked over slowly and placed the letter of severance in front of Ming Chengzhong, "Please come in, Mr. Ming!"

Ming Chengzhong felt dizzy and subconsciously covered his chest with his hands. He gasped with a pale face, "I, I, I... I can't take it anymore..."

Ming Chengyi and Ming Chengfu were brothers with him. The three of them had always been shameless and had no choice but to be friends. How could they not understand what their elder brother meant? They all knew that this relationship could not be severed, so they all surrounded him and shouted, "Big Brother..."

The people from the side branches stopped fighting each other and rushed forward, crying and shouting, causing chaos on the field for a while.

Ming Erye and others knew that this family was extremely shameless, and they couldn't help but feel anxious when they saw this scene. In such a scene, can this relationship be severed?

The man from the side branch changed his aggressive expression and begged with threats, "Princess, let's put everything else aside and call the doctor first! We are all family, there is nothing we can't talk about! If something really goes wrong, it will be bad for you to force an old man to death, right?"

The current emperor is a person who values ​​courtesy the most. If you know that the princess he appointed forced an old man to death, he will probably not let her off easily.

Shi Anxia was very cold, "He is disrespectful to the elderly, disloyal and unjust, and has no sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame! Such a person is a waste of food! I'm sure my father will be very pleased to know that I can clean up the mess decisively."

Ming Chengyi stood up straight, his face flushed as he roared viciously, "Princess, Sister Zhao, today you forced me to sign the severance agreement! I hope you won't regret it one day! You will be the ones who cause the Ming family to fall apart!"

These words sound ridiculous, but it is these ridiculous words that make people trapped in their own cocoons for a lifetime. For example, Ming Chengyuan, who is obsessed with reviving the Ming family, wants to make the Ming family a prestigious family, and wants to continue from generation to generation.

He didn't know that the result of continuing to drag along a bunch of harmful parasites would only make the family increasingly decadent, more and more alienated, and lack cohesion.

Shi Anxia smiled elegantly and kindly, "You'd better be more conscious and don't let this princess use force to force you to break off the relationship."

Ming Zhao glanced at the princess, then slowly said, "I will never regret this life! Mr. Ming, please come in!"

The bright red seal was stamped on the letter of severance of kinship, and the Ming family members, who had no blood relationship to begin with, no longer had to be forcibly bound together.

No matter how calm and composed Mr. Ming and the others were, they could not help but shed tears.

The people from the side branches were all pale and dumbfounded. They suddenly felt that after their family was severed, they were like a shaky kite with a broken string, and would soon fall to the ground.

Princess Haiyan had already dug a trap, waiting for them to jump into it.

Ming Zhao whispered instructions to Bai Zhu, who took the orders and left.

Bai Zhu came back soon, holding a thick booklet and presenting it to Princess Haiyan.

Another booklet!

Ming Chengyi and others' legs were shaking when they saw the booklet.

Shi Anxia flipped through it and found that the booklet contained a record of things that had been taken away by the side branches.

The records are very detailed, listing the time, place, people, property names, and value.

Moreover, the handwriting inside is different. The first, middle and last part are written by three different people.

Ming Zhao explained in a low voice, "This was recorded by my grandmother, my mother, and me."

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "You are thoughtful. That's what should be done." She raised the booklet and said, "All the property taken from my Ming family must be returned."

Ming Zhao read out a long list of items, including gold, silver, jewelry, deeds to fertile land, shops, ship warehouses, borrowed goods, etc.

Ming Chengyi refused to admit it, "Do you have any evidence?"

How could the past be recorded casually? Even if he risked his life, he couldn't return it.

These treasures were what he had worked so hard for his whole life. He suddenly threatened loudly, "If the princess wants to rob them, we will die here today!"

Shi Anxia had seen more shameless people than this, and she was not afraid at all. She just said calmly, "If you want to die, you don't have to be polite! After you die, this princess will accuse you of the corresponding crimes and let you die a worthy death."

Seeing that this annoying princess refused to listen, Ming Chengyi and others were extremely desperate for a moment, and their suicidal movements stopped immediately.

The doorman came hurriedly to report that the prefect of Muzhou had arrived!

Some are happy while others are worried. The prefect of Muzhou has received countless bribes from Ming Chengyi and others. If he comes to the Ming family at this time, the relationship between the Ming family and him will probably not be severed.

Even Ming Zhao's face turned pale, and he whispered, "Princess, that prefect is not a good person..."

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll let your brother Xinghe go and invite someone."

As the two of them were talking in low voices, the prefect of Muzhou strode into the room and knelt down to pay his respects, "Your humble servant greets Princess Haiyan! Long live Princess Haiyan!"

Ming Zhaoben was standing next to Princess Haiyan and quickly moved aside to make way.

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Master Wu, please stand up. We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and talk."

Ming Chengyi and others were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

Lord Wu? The prefect of Muzhou?

Isn’t that Lord Liang?

After he sat down, Shi Anxia asked someone to make tea for him, and then started chatting about family matters, "Master Wu, are you used to Muzhou now that you've just arrived?"

Lord Wu smiled and said, "Thanks to the princess, I was able to take up my post in a hurry. Fortunately, the Dongyu Guards escorted me all the way. Now my relatives have been settled, and I am familiar with the affairs of Muzhou."

This person was none other than Wu Changlin, who once worked in the Hanlin Academy and was also the instructor of Yunqi Academy.

"Lord Wu, you are a new official and you have three things to do. Today, I will help you." Shi Anxia pointed at Ming Chengzhong and others and said, "Take these people back for trial. They are directly related to the bribery case of Liang Yongwang, the previous governor of Muzhou."

Wu Changlin was overjoyed when he heard this. Originally, he was worried about how he should talk to the princess about how the Ming family was her relatives so that she would enforce the law impartially.

Isn't this a coincidence? The princess is really a considerate person.

Only then did Ming Chengzhong know that Liang Yongwang, the former governor of Muzhou, had been quietly dismissed. It's over, it's over!

Their awe for officials and imperial power made them watch the princess chatting and laughing with the new prefect.

The princess said, "Before the trial, I hope Lord Wu can help me do something quickly."

"Princess, please speak." Wu Changlin agreed immediately.

He had no doubt that Shi Anxia would use her status to make him break the law knowingly. He just had an inexplicable trust in the princess, thinking that she understood and abided by the law better than anyone else, and would uphold the fairness and justice of the court.

But when An Xia handed over a letter of severance of engagement, she said, "Master Wu, please help me with the severance of engagement process as soon as possible."
