Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Hahahahahaha!" Xu Yixing hugged his stomach and rolled over on the bed. It was great. He is worthy of being my dad! His acting was so realistic, and he even vented his anger!

"Don't laugh. The Duke's Mansion has already filed a complaint with the Emperor. I heard that the Master is confronting them in court! What if the Emperor gets angry? What will happen?"

"What are you afraid of? Since Dad dares to do this, it means he has the confidence to solve this problem. Don't worry about it."

"That's what you say, but our young lady is still the granddaughter-in-law of the Sun family. What position does the master put her in by doing this?"

Humph, once it’s exposed in a couple of days, no one will care about Gao Yao’s life or death.

At the same time, the emperor in the Golden Palace had a serious face. He looked at the two old ministers, one kneeling and one standing, and felt extremely dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty! Old Sun is not a human being! He caused my eldest daughter to be disfigured, and now he wants to have a concubine. He is simply an old bastard!"

Old Man Xu was naturally standing, standing straight, cursing with his chest puffed out. He was looking at Duke Sun, who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly. The injury to his eye prevented him from opening one eye, so he could only forcefully open the other one.

"Your Majesty! We have our own reasons for this. We are responsible for not protecting Miss Xu, but the one who did it was someone from the Xu family! Besides, the matter of the concubine was a trick played by the Wu family! No matter how unwilling we are, what else can we do?"

Of course he would not reveal the name of the Second Prince, even if the Second Prince was the culprit of this evil, revealing it would be courting death.

"You're talking nonsense! If you don't like it, can she force you to do it? Do you think your Duke's Mansion is afraid of a small city defense department? The Wu family is also a rotten turtle. They raised a daughter like this. They should have been strangled to death with a rope long ago, leaving her as a nuisance!"

"Your Majesty, please understand! Your Majesty, please understand!" Duke Sun knew that Old Man Xu's arguments were not convincing, so he could only kowtow to the emperor repeatedly and solidify his image as a victim.

"My two beloved ministers, there is no need to argue. I understand."

In this matter, the emperor was biased towards the Xu family.

Let's not talk about anything else, just the matter of taking a concubine, that's something that only small families would do, which official family has ever had such a precedent? This is clearly not recognizing Xu Yixing as the granddaughter-in-law, and wanting to replace her, how unjust.

Moreover, he had just received a report from Lord Shen. Many corrupt officials were found during this land inspection. The worst ones were his own brother, Prince Cheng, and the Duke's Mansion. They actually concealed half of the land and population, enriched themselves and reduced taxes. They deserved to die!

Prince Cheng, he is my brother, even if he was really greedy, it is reasonable. Moreover, Prince Cheng's Mansion is working for me, and his private vault is all known and acquiesced to by me, so how can your Sun family be considered a real relative?

You rely on the fact that your ancestors made contributions to the late emperor and inherited a title, and you really take yourself seriously. You deserve to die.

"Xu Xianshan, no matter what, it is wrong for you to hit someone. Go back to their house and compensate for the broken things. Then apologize to your in-laws. After all, your daughter is still the young lady of the Sun Mansion. Don't make things too serious."

When the emperor dealt with household affairs, he was actually no different from the other householders in the village; he adopted a conciliatory attitude.

"Hmph." Old Man Xu snorted and uttered a word, obviously dissatisfied. However, the emperor called him by his full name, which showed that he was angry.

Duke Sun also heard that the emperor had no intention of punishing the Xu family, and became a little disappointed. He was just waiting to see what the emperor would say about him.

"Lord Sun, is it necessary to make my wife equal to my husband?"

There is a way! Duke Sun was unwilling to have this marriage in the first place, and he was forced by public opinion. Because Xu Yixing disfigured his family, there was a rift between him and the Xu family, and he had not yet planned to completely give up the relationship with the Xu family. It would be best if the emperor was willing to speak up and stop it.

"Your Majesty! I am really powerless. If I don't do this, Miss Wu's reputation will be ruined. If something bad happens, it will be my fault. Does Your Majesty have any good ideas?"

Old fox, do you still want me to stop you and then use my will to force the Wu family to retreat? Humph!

"Forget it, it's your private matter. As the emperor, it's not my place to interfere in family affairs. You guys solve it yourselves." After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.

Seeing that he had no hope, Duke Sun stood up awkwardly and wanted to say a few words to Old Man Xu, but he was glared back by him. He had no choice but to admit defeat and leave the palace.

The emperor had just left when he heard a palace servant come to report that General Xu had not left and was still standing in the palace. The emperor sighed. This old man was so stubborn!

Turning back to the main hall, his tone was no longer as formal as before.

"Old man, what do you want to do? You beat people and destroyed homes. Isn't it enough for me to protect you? Do you have to let me chop off Duke Sun before you are satisfied?"

"Your Majesty knows my temper. It would be better if you really killed him." Old Man Xu was still very tough. Although he was not as stubborn as Lord Shen over the years, the emperor also knew his temper.

"Tsk! Then tell me, what should I do? Order Miss Wu to be executed?"

"What does she know as a little kid? She might be taken advantage of without even knowing it. Your Majesty, I have a memorial for you to review. After you read it, you can decide whether to kill old Sun or not."

The palace maid presented the memorial to the emperor, who only glanced at it and immediately became furious.

"How dare you! Xu Xianshan, what do you mean by this?"

"These are all sins committed by the Sun family. Your Majesty, please make a holy judgment and resolve this disaster as soon as possible."

The emperor didn't buy it. He sent over a list of charges against the Duke's Mansion right after the quarrel. It was clearly a revenge.

"Humph, since you already knew what they did, why did you report it only today? Aren't you too partial? Now you are deliberately seeking revenge!"

Father Xu knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, I didn't tell you before because he is my relative and I can't harm my own daughter; now I tell you because they are really going too far and have bullied me to the point of being too much, do you think I should endure it!"

The emperor appeared to be still angry, but he had calmed down inside.

The more straightforward General Xu was, the more it proved that he had no other thoughts. He had always been a straightforward person, and the emperor had already been fed up with him. This kind of partiality was common to everyone in the court, but it was rare for someone to admit it in front of the emperor like him.

"So according to you, you are no longer a relative of the Sun family, and your daughter is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Sun family? If you hand over all these crimes to me, and if I punish you and sentence your entire family to death, will your daughter be able to escape?"

"Your Majesty, please have mercy. If you really want to fight, give Yixing a letter of divorce!"

The emperor was about to scold again, but when he saw the old general's bloodshot eyes and the way he was trying hard to hold back his grief, he softened his heart. It was all for the children!
