When the Xiao clan leader said this, not only the brothers Xiao Qian and Xiao Yuan, but even Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment...

During this turmoil in the Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Yu felt that he was already lucky enough to be able to protect himself. Could he still inherit the title?

I can’t even think about it!

Xiao Qian's expression was also very interesting at this time...

At first, Xiao Qian was surprised and happy to hear the clan leader say that the title of the Marquisate would not be taken away; but when he heard that Xiao Yi was imprisoned and the title of the Marquisate fell to Xiao Yu, Xiao Qian was shocked and said angrily: "Why? Even if my eldest brother is imprisoned and cannot inherit the title, according to the rules, this Yong'an Marquisate is mine..."

Interests are the driving force behind people's hearts. At this moment, Xiao Qian didn't notice the solemn and hurried expressions of the clan leader and others. He also ignored the guards of the inspection office who were guarding the door tightly. He was only thinking about how he would get a bargain if he could become the Marquis of Yong'an!

The clan leader was almost amused by Xiao Qian's lack of tact. He laughed in anger and said, "This is also what the old marquis meant."

"what?"

Xiao Qian was dumbfounded.

"When your father was dying, he left a handwritten letter saying that Xiao Yi was narrow-minded and selfish, and that he might become a big trouble if he held power one day, so he petitioned the late emperor to depose another prince..."

Xiao Qian yelled, "When my father killed my eldest brother, we two brothers were still there. Why would such a good thing fall on the head of a young boy like Xiao Yu?"

Patriarch Xiao wished he could shut Xiao Qian’s mouth!

He didn't even realize that without Xiao Xuetang, could the title of Marquis or even the entire Xiao family be preserved?

Xiao Qian was suppressed by the clan leader. Suddenly, a soft voice came from the side: "Clan leader, this matter of conferring a title should be decided by the emperor and the court. Even if you have the old marquis's handwriting, the clan has no right to decide whether to establish or abolish the Yong'an Marquis."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she instantly attracted everyone's attention. It seemed...

The Xiao clan leader on the side gasped and glared at Xiao Qian: "What kind of occasion are you in? You are bringing a concubine here to stir up trouble. No wonder this mansion is going to fail!"

Seeing someone actually looked down upon his beloved, Xiao Qian immediately became angry and shouted with a cold face, "Patriarch, I think what Wu'er said is reasonable. You want to protect that kid just by showing him a handwritten letter? Dream on! Anyway, the Marquis' Mansion is finished, and Xiao Yu won't have an easy life either."

The clan leader had a gloomy face, and finally spoke: "This handwritten letter has the seal of the late emperor, which means that the late emperor also agreed to the old marquis's request in order to leave a way out for the marquis's mansion one day, and..."

"When the current emperor ascended the throne, in order to show respect for the late emperor, the first decree he issued was that the late emperor's orders and rewards would remain unchanged. Xiao Qian, you are not only questioning your father, but also the late emperor."

When the clan leader mentioned the late emperor, there was total silence...

The late emperor was a very respected emperor. During his reign, he was benevolent to the people and had great achievements in both civil and military affairs. If it were not for those hateful eunuchs, the late emperor would not have died young!

Dayin, perhaps it has already become the most powerful country in East Continent...

……

Just as everyone was remembering Emperor Min because of the clan leader's words, no one noticed that a carriage appeared silently at the entrance of Zhuyi Lane.

"Shao Shu, you heard it too. Even the common people know how much respect the current emperor has for the late emperor. He is obviously the emperor, but he obeys the late emperor's will very well."

The person who spoke was none other than Ye Jin...

After several days in jail, Ye Jin's face turned pale, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes, which usually seemed bright, were now cloudy and gloomy.

It's like he's become a different person!

At first, why did he feel that Ye Jin was lively and agile, completely different from the quiet Xiao Xuetang, and thus had second thoughts...

Now seeing Ye Jin cowering like a rat in a gutter, and looking at Xiao Xuetang, who was standing in the distance in white clothes, looking stunning under the light, Lin Shaoshu regretted countless times in his heart.

At this point, Lin Shaoshu stubbornly believes that Xiao Xuetang must love him. If it weren't for Ye Jin's interference, they wouldn't have ended up being at odds with each other!

Seeing that Lin Shaoshu looked absent-minded and only focused on Xiao Xuetang, Ye Jin suddenly became angry and his voice became sharp...

"The late emperor had intended to establish Lin Xun as the heir apparent. During the Ganlu Incident, he must have left a secret decree. This is the secret hidden in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Lin Shaoshu's expression changed slightly, and his eyes, which were originally looking outside the carriage, finally looked at Ye Jin.

Ye Jin raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then said: "If you don't get rid of Lin Xun and Xiao Xuetang first, if the emperor knows the existence of this secret decree, everything will be over!"

"You and Donggong are both preparing for Lin Xun's death..."

The wind blew through the curtains of the carriage, and the candlelight outside the window swayed, making Ye Jin's expression look like a ghost, no longer as innocent and cute as before.

Lin Shaoshu couldn't help but shudder...

He looked at Ye Jin deeply, then looked away and said coldly: "I have rescued you from the prison. You will be on your own in the future. Get out of the car."

Ye Jin was stunned and said, "I'm pregnant with your child, where do you want me to go?"

Lin Shaoshu sneered, and before Ye Jin could come to her senses, the guard driving the carriage outside said, "Miss Jin, I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he half-dragged and half-threw Ye Jin out of the carriage.

"No, I don't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, I want to go to the Third Prince's Mansion!"

Now Xiao Yi is imprisoned in the Sky Prison. Everyone in the entire Marquis' Mansion is in danger and is now under the control of Xiao Xuetang.

Sending her back to the Marquis' Mansion would be like letting her walk into a trap.

Ye Jin held on to the shaft of the carriage tightly and refused to let go. The guards did not dare to force him and could only look at Lin Shaoshu in the carriage in embarrassment.

Such a big commotion at this time has already attracted the attention of the onlookers.

No one connected the disheveled Ye Jin, who was clinging to the carriage, with the previously glorious Miss Jin from the Hou Mansion, and they all asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

"I don't know, maybe this beggar came from somewhere..."

"Yeah, looking at her appearance, she looks a bit like the third young lady of the Marquis' Mansion. Wasn't she taken away by the government? What is she doing here?"

"This carriage... looks like the carriage of the Third Prince's Palace!"

Originally, Lin Shaoshu wanted to quietly send Ye Jin back to the Marquis' Mansion to get rid of this hot potato, but he didn't expect Ye Jin to be like a madman, and his madness of dragging him down with him even if he died made Lin Shaoshu feel terrified...

Seeing that Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun were about to look over after hearing the noise, Lin Shaoshu didn't want Xiao Xuetang to see him in such an embarrassing state, so he lowered his voice and said, "Ye Jin, only if you enter the Marquis' Mansion will you have a chance to find the secret decree hidden by Xiao Yi."

"Don't worry, since you already have my child, I will definitely not ignore you."

Ye Jin stared at Lin Shaoshu gloomily and said, "Your Highness, do you keep your word?"

Lin Shaoshu's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment he said: "Of course..."

"Go in quickly, don't let Xiao Xuetang find you!"

Lin Shaoshu looked across the crowd at Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun, who looked like a perfect couple under the lights, and a dark flash appeared in his eyes...

He knew clearly that in the current situation his biggest enemy was no longer the Eastern Palace, but Lin Xun!

He and Lin Xun will fight to the death...
