Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

"Ah?" Faced with Cen Ying's domineering declaration, Marquis Zhongyi was a little stunned.

"Ma'am, can you do it? According to the artifact, Xing Xiaoya is more like a demon than a beauty sent from heaven. I have to stay away from such a person. How can you subdue her? If a fight breaks out, you are so weak that you probably won't be able to beat her." He was obviously worried.

As soon as he said this, Cen Ying raised her hand, obviously wanting to hit him again.

Marquis Zhongyi immediately raised his hands to cover his head, and his dodging movements were so smooth that they had become a conditioned reflex.

He reacted quickly and realized that he looked too cowardly. He immediately lowered his arms, straightened his back, and tried hard to put on the serious appearance of a loyal and righteous marquis.

"If you can subdue her with a good fight, then why are you running back in shame? Besides, there are more than one female relatives in this mansion. You men will be bewitched and obsessed by her, but women won't!" Cen Ying's tone was very confident.

The Loyal Marquis was a little skeptical and couldn't help but suggest: "Then you should be careful when you go out, bring more guards and secret guards with you to avoid any accidents."

"Okay, I'll leave the Wei family's affairs to you. I guess the court is not stable either."

After the couple discussed it, they took action separately.

Just as Cen Ying had guessed, the court was in a heated argument over the Wei family's affairs.

In the Guangming Palace, today's memorial impeaching the Marquis of Loyalty flew onto the emperor's dragon desk like melting snow.

After all, Marquis Zhongyi led his men to surround Wei's mansion and then dealt with Wei's family, which was tantamount to lynching. Although the matter was later handed over to the Dali Temple, it still could not change Marquis Zhongyi's inappropriate behavior.

"Where is the Marquis of Loyalty? With so many complaints, what do you want to say?" The emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, took the initiative to ask.

"In reply to the emperor, Marquis Zhongyi has taken leave today."

The chief eunuch Ruan De, who was waiting nearby, came over immediately and gave a gentle reminder.

The emperor could not help but frown and question, "What happened? He was not there at the critical moment. He was showing off at the Wei family yesterday, but today, with so many colleagues reporting him, he disappeared!"

As soon as the emperor said this, some of the officials below could not wait any longer and immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, I would like to report again that the Loyal Marquis was arrogant and treated the Wei family badly, and then he became a coward and had no responsibility. He set a bad example for the soldiers and affected their morale."

This was obviously an attempt to escalate the situation. Affecting morale would be a serious crime. If the soldiers were defeated in the future, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty would have to bear the blame, and the Marquis of Loyalty would be completely crushed.

"Ruan De, what is the reason for the Marquis of Loyalty to ask for leave?" the emperor asked again.

"The Marquis of Zhongyi said that he had been raising a bastard for others for fifteen years, while his own son lived a life worse than pigs and dogs in the Wei family. His heart ached whenever he thought of this, so he asked a doctor to take his pulse." Ruan De replied quickly.

The emperor waved his hand and asked him to retreat. He whispered, "My dear ministers, you have heard that the son of the Marquis of Loyalty was swapped. No one else would tolerate raising someone else's child as a treasure. The Wei family has also been detained and interrogated by the Dali Temple. If they are really guilty, they must not be let off. If they are wrongly accused, I will naturally make the decision for his family."

"There is no result yet. When the Marquis of Loyalty recovers, please feel free to ask me if you have any questions. We will not discuss this matter today."

The emperor waved his hand, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to take action against Marquis Zhongyi at this moment.

The Jiang family has been a family of military generals for generations. Perhaps it is the manifestation of their ancestors, and almost every generation has a powerful general. Today's Loyalty and Righteousness Mansion is even more extraordinary.

Although Marquis Zhongyi is over fifty years old, he has made great achievements in battle, and with him around, the entire military force is easier to control. Except for the fourth brother who was taken away by mistake and has accomplished nothing, the other three brothers of the Jiang family all hold important positions.

However, the Wei family only has one Wei Xian as an official, who is not very useful. The emperor has no impression of him, which proves that his performance is not outstanding.

Of course, it is clear at a glance which is more important.

Many civil officials are now clamoring, simply because they are afraid that one day, the Marquis of Loyalty will treat them the same way.

Although the court officials who were reporting to the emperor were unwilling to accept the situation, they did not dare to disobey the emperor since he had already made his promise, so they had to bring up other state affairs.

Unfortunately, the emperor's protective attitude did not make the court officials give up. On the contrary, a group of civil officials gathered together and wrote a manifesto to attack the Marquis of Loyalty, using extremely fierce words.

Moreover, this manifesto was not only presented to the emperor, but also spread by some interested parties and became a hot topic in Wangjing.

"The Jiang family originated in Huaiyang. They fought for the empire with Emperor Gaozu and defended the empire for Emperor Taizong. They have been military generals for generations and have made many military achievements. They have been promoted to higher positions and given titles of loyalty and righteousness. However, the people of the Jiang family today are extremely rich and powerful, and they are arrogant and domineering. The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness raised private soldiers and broke into the mansion of a fifth-rank civil official as if he was in an empty place. He detained his family members and used private punishment. He deserves death. If everyone does not speak out today, they may suffer the same fate as the Wei family in the future. The Jiang family will be the knife and you and I will be the fish..."

This proclamation of condemnation turned the Jiang family's past upside down and called on all people with lofty ideals to resist them. It was obviously an attempt to take advantage of the situation and turn the Loyal Marquisate, which had been loyal for generations, into an existence that was despised by everyone.

Soon, someone copied it down and placed it on the desk of Marquis Zhongyi.

He picked up the paper and began to read, occasionally stuttering, which made Cen feel helpless.

"My Lord, are you illiterate? Why is it so difficult for you to read a manifesto?"

"Of course I can read, but I'm naturally allergic to these flowery words," he said unhappily.

"It was said before that Xing Xiaoya's matter was tricky, but now it seems that the Wei family is even more difficult to deal with. Many officials in the court have joined forces to bring you down. What are your plans, Lord Marquis?" Cen Ying immediately saw through the essence of the matter.

The Loyal Marquis sneered and immediately tore the manifesto into pieces: "Anything I don't acknowledge is just a piece of waste paper. Madam, don't worry. I have been fighting those old-timers for many years. As soon as they stick their butts out, I know what they want to say."

"Before I led my men into the Wei family, I had anticipated these events and had already made a plan. If I hadn't been worried about the third brother, I wouldn't have asked for leave today. I would have already started fighting with them and will continue the battle tomorrow!"
