Reborn Big Sister eats melon with her left hand and raises her baby with her right hand

"Old Duke, please stand up and sit down to talk first." Emperor Yong'an signaled Eunuch Qiao to bring a chair over.

The old Duke of Zhenguo frowned. He didn't think his request was excessive. It was just a divorce. Was it that difficult?

Is the Emperor trying to stall for time? Or does the Emperor simply not agree to a divorce?

Alas, if he had known that the princess of the royal family was so despicable, he would never have sympathized with the marriage arranged by the late emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old Duke Zhenguo was puzzled, but he could not go against Emperor Yong'an.

The old Duke of Zhenguo knew very well that no emperor would like a minister who went against him.

Moreover, this emperor is a wise ruler and would not do anything to hurt the relationship between him and his subjects.

The old Duke of Zhenguo sat down with a lot of thoughts and confusion. The third prince consort also stood up with the help of Eunuch Qiao and stood beside the old Duke of Zhenguo.

Alas, Emperor Yong'an sighed and wanted to talk about Princess Yuyao, but he didn't know where to start.

This mother and daughter are really bringing discredit to the royal family.

The emperor was just worrying about how to start the conversation when the old Duke of Protectorate brought the prince into the palace to ask for a meeting.

Emperor Yong'an thought to himself, well, since we came together, then why don't we meet together?

Soon the old Duke of Protectorate came in with the Crown Prince. As soon as he entered the palace, he covered his face and burst into tears. He cried so sadly.

The Prince of the Protectorate had a look of grief and indignation on his face, and his clenched fist was somewhat similar to that of the Third Prince Consort.

Emperor Yong'an tried to persuade him but to no avail. The old Duke of Protectorate cried and told him everything Princess Yuyao had done.

The old Duke Zhenguo, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. What the hell? Was that what Yuyao did?

The old Duke Zhenguo looked at his second son in surprise, his eyes full of reproach, and the third prince consort lowered his head even more.

"Your Majesty, Princess Yuyao doesn't like my grandson. I can understand that. It's because my grandson is incompetent and can't catch Princess Yuyao's eye.

I beg Your Majesty to cancel the engagement between Princess Yuyao and my grandson. From now on, marriage between men and women will have nothing to do with each other."

As for why he had to bring the matter to the Emperor, the old Duke of Protectorate didn't want to do that, since it was the Emperor who arranged the marriage.

Of course, the emperor’s consent is needed to lift the ban.

Emperor Yong'an took a deep breath. How could he not agree? Princess Yuyao had already rolled onto the same bed with his eldest son. How could he not agree?

Emperor Yong'an glanced at the old Duke Zhenguo who was sitting next to him with an embarrassed look on his face, and then looked at the third prince consort who had his head lowered and veins throbbing on the back of his hands. Alas!

"I approve it," Emperor Yong'an gritted his teeth, "Come here, draft an edict to cancel the marriage between Prince Xiao Ming of the Guardian Duke and Princess Yuyao. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other."

The old Duke of the Protectorate and his son's faces flashed with joy when they heard this. They could finally cancel the engagement, and it was not easy to get away with it.

I really want to thank that idiot Princess Yuyao for not marrying me.

"Your Majesty." The old Duke Zhenguo's legs went weak and he was about to kneel again. No matter what, he had to get the divorce even if it meant losing his face.

As for Princess Yuyao, humph, it would be better if the Third Princess is willing to take her away. If not, then, then lock her up for life.

In short, don't do anything shameful that will harm others.

As for marrying the eldest prince, the old Duke Zhenguo did not think about it. The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is only loyal to the emperor and will never take sides in advance.

This is the first family rule set by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion since its establishment.

The second family rule is that the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo is not allowed to marry into the royal family.

The second reason is to prevent the daughters of the Duke of Zhenguo from being involved in the royal family’s struggles.

Neither for the position of consort nor for the position of empress, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion would not fight for the immense wealth and honor.

Emperor Yong'an was also aware of these family rules, so he felt even more troubled when he heard that Princess Yuyao had taken action against the eldest prince.

There is no trace of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in Princess Yuyao.

"Old Duke Zhenguo, please stand up and sit down to talk." Emperor Yong'an motioned for the old Duke Zhenguo to sit down, then looked at the third prince consort and sighed:

"I will allow the Third Princess and the Third Prince Consort to divorce, and I will also issue an edict to strip the Third Princess of her title and demote her to a commoner.

In addition, Yuyao's title as monarch will also be cancelled, and Yuyao will call herself the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old Duke Zhenguo immediately knelt down to express his gratitude. He also understood what the emperor meant. The emperor did not intend to let the eldest prince marry Yuyao.

This is fine, just lock her up for life. The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion can afford to support only one daughter.

The third prince consort, no, now he should be called the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo, Lu Xiu. Lu Xiu also quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

Well, what if he doesn’t want Yuyao as his daughter?

The old Duke Protector of the Country and the Crown Prince then realized that the old Duke Zhenguo was also here, and the four of them felt awkward when their eyes met.

Especially the old Duke of Protecting the Country. He had no anger towards the old Duke of Zhenguo, only sympathy.

The son he raised with great effort became a cuckold, and he also helped raise other people's sons. In comparison, their Duke of Protectorate Mansion is much better off.

The most Yuyao got was an engagement to the prince, which was not a big loss.

"Okay, you guys go now." Emperor Yong'an waved his hand, feeling tired and wanting to rest.

At this time, more news came in. Eunuch Qiao was in a complicated mood. There were a lot of things happening today, and they were all big things.

Eunuch Qiao leaned over to Emperor Yong'an's ear and whispered again, and finally said, "The Earl of Zhongyong is kneeling outside the palace asking for an audience."

"Was it also caused by the trouble in the Princess's Mansion?" Emperor Yong'an asked in a low voice. A flash of inspiration came to his mind and he thought of what happened at the palace banquet.

Ever since the palace banquet ended, he has not heard the voices of his ministers. Could it be that those voices can only be heard at palace banquets?

Or is there some triggering condition?

"Immediately send someone to investigate what happened in the Princess's residence today. Investigate every detail and report everything."

"Yes." Eunuch Qiao accepted the order and asked in a low voice before leaving, "Do you want to see Earl Zhongyong?"

"Meet." Emperor Yong'an gritted his teeth. Such a big fuss had happened, why would he not meet him?

Soon, Earl Zhongyong came in with a memorial. He wanted to report the Nanting Marquisate for murder and robbery. He wanted justice for his daughter and he wanted the Nanting Marquisate to pay the price.

"Your Majesty, my daughter died unjustly. You must seek justice for her." As soon as the Earl of Zhongyong entered the hall, he cried out at the top of his lungs.

This scene was inexplicably familiar, and Emperor Yong'an couldn't help but take a few more glances at the old Duke Zhenguo and the old Duke Huguo.

The tone of these three people is the same, they don’t cry sincerely at all!

The old Duke Zhenguo and the old Duke Huguo lowered their heads and blushed. Alas, it was embarrassing at their old age.

But what happened to the Zhongyong Earl's family? The two old ministers exchanged glances, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, Earl Zhongyong helped them solve their doubts.

Earl Zhongyong told the princess everything that happened in her mansion, and also told her about the evidence and witnesses they had found.

It's true that the Princess of Qi knew everything in detail, without any error. She had the witness testimonies and evidence, but someone from the Nanting Marquis' Mansion also came.

The chief steward of the Nanting Marquis Mansion actually stopped the Ministry of Justice from taking the case and wanted to destroy the evidence and take away the witnesses. This is bullying.
