The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict ordered all the people of Changning Marquis to come and receive the order.

Madam Gu and Gu Changhai, who were lying on the sickbed, were helped over by servants and knelt down to receive the order.

“Gu Qingshan…reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors…”

"Gu Jingyou inherits the title for his father..."

The eunuch had a clear voice and spoke distinctly.

Everyone in the Gu family was kneeling on the ground. Upon hearing this, they all looked up in surprise.

The Gu family knew that they could not cover up the scandal that happened at the banquet.

So many gossipy women saw this! This matter must spread all over Kyoto!

But the Gu family never expected that the emperor would know it so quickly!

What’s more, the Emperor can’t even wait until tomorrow!

Today! On the 57th day of the Marquis's death! An imperial decree was issued to allow Gu Jingyou to inherit the title!

Gu Qingshan raised his eyes and looked at Song Mingli in shock and a little fear.

"It's you! You're the one who's in charge of all this, right?"

Gu Qingshan even forgot to express his gratitude, his pupils trembling as he looked at Song Mingli!

What divorce? What taking Jingyou away?

She didn't want to divorce at all! She didn't want to take Jingyou away either!

The current situation is her real purpose!

What she wants is - the entire Gu family!

“I… I will kill you!” Gu Qingshan was so angry that he immediately stood up and tried to strangle Song Mingli’s neck.

The eunuch who announced the decree was so angry that his eyebrows were trembling when he saw this.

"presumptuous!"

The eunuch shouted loudly.

The guard who accompanied him to announce the decree immediately drew his sword.

Scream——

The cold blade was pressed against Gu Qingshan's neck.

“In the face of the imperial edict, Gu Qingshan, how dare you be so disrespectful!” the eunuch shouted.

Gu Qingshan felt a clear pain in his neck, and he calmed down with a start.

His knees went weak and he looked dazed.

But before he knelt down, his own son was inspired by him and jumped up from the ground.

"Why!" Gu Huai shouted angrily, "Why should he inherit my father's title?"

"He's not my father's son at all! He's a bastard! I'm my father's eldest son!"

"A bastard! Wants to take away my family's title! Why?"

"If anyone wants to inherit, I will inherit my father's title! Gu Jingyou! Bah! You are not from the Gu family at all!"

Su Yi and Gu Qingshan turned pale with fear when they heard this.

Neither of them expected that Gu Huai would jump up and blurt out all these words at this critical moment.

Su Yi quickly covered Gu Huai's mouth.

But it was too late.

Gu Huai shouted and tried to rush forward to fight with Jingyou.

Jingyou didn't move. He frowned and looked at Gu Huai in confusion, then at his mother.

"Mother, what did he mean?" Jingyou asked, gently pulling Song Mingli's sleeve.

Song Mingli raised his cold and handsome face and looked at Gu Qingshan in confusion.

"Gu Qingshan, isn't Gu Huai the son of your clan? Why does he call you dad?"

"I married you with a clear conscience. On the wedding day, I was still a virgin. There would be no other man besides you. What did he mean by this?"

The eunuch was also confused.

He never expected that he was here to announce the imperial decree!

I actually heard such an exciting thing!

The eunuch couldn't help but look at Jingyou, who looked well behaved and was about to receive the title.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shudder violently!

Oh my god!

Who did he see?

This little face, especially the side profile...why does it look so much like His Royal Highness Prince Jing?

The eunuch quickly closed his eyes, closed them tightly, and then opened them again to look around.

Oh my god, it’s even more like it!

No...it can't be!

“That’s nonsense, kid!” Gu Qingshan explained with a sullen face.

"Mmmmm..." Gu Huai was finally caught by Su Yi, pressed in her arms, and covered her mouth tightly.

He struggled hard.

Su Yi didn't dare to relax at all.

The eunuch took a deep breath... The Gu family's affairs are a bit complicated!

He has to hurry back to the palace to report!

“Gu…” The eunuch originally wanted to ask Gu Qingshan to come and receive the order.

But then I thought, that’s not right, Gu Qingshan is just a commoner now!

The eunuch turned around and came to Jingyou, "Young Marquis, please accept the order."

The eunuch didn't know why...

How come his tone unconsciously became a little flattering when talking to this little face?

He is the eunuch serving the emperor.

Even high-ranking officials in the imperial court had to be polite when they met him!

How could he flatter a child?

"Thank you, Lord!" Jingyou bowed politely and accepted the order.

At the same time, he handed a big red envelope to the eunuch who announced the decree, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch."

"No, no, no, it's my duty! It's my job as a clerk."

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict felt for the first time that the red envelope was too hot to handle and he did not dare to accept it.

He quickly pushed the red envelope back to Jingyou.

Jingyou looked at him in surprise, "Thank you for going out of the palace so late at night, I should give you some money."

The kid is pretty serious.

Don't say it, really don't say it!

Judging from his serious expression, he is very similar to His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

If His Royal Highness Prince Jing gives a reward, it must be a sincere reward. He will not like it if you are being polite to him.

The eunuch quickly accepted the red envelope and thanked him quietly.

The child's face, which resembled Prince Jing, also showed a satisfied expression.

Very similar!

The eunuch didn't want to delay any longer and immediately went back to the palace to report!

He must report this shocking discovery to the emperor!

The eunuch who announced the decree and the guards with swords left.

Gu Qingshan suddenly stood up from the ground.

“Song Mingli! Stop right there!” Gu Qingshan stared at her, his eyes bloodshot.

Jingyou frowned slightly, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and looked up at his mother.

"Mother, is this the emperor's decree?" Jingyou asked, "Does everyone have to obey the emperor's words?"

Song Mingli nodded, "Of course, not listening to the emperor is called disobeying the emperor's order. Disobeying the emperor's order is a capital crime."

Jingyou nodded, "Someone, send him back to his own yard."

"If you can't reflect on your mistakes and cultivate your character, send you to the farm to recuperate."

Gu Qingshan looked at Jingyou in astonishment.

He raised his finger and pointed at his nose, "Are you... talking about me?"

Before Gu Qingshan could recover from his shock.

The servants who had been waiting nearby came forward, holding Gu Qingshan on both sides, and wanted to send him to the study.

"You, you are so outrageous! You are so outrageous! I am your father! I am your father!"

"How dare you do this to me! You are a traitor!"

Jingyou learned more than just Kung Fu from his master.

And there is this calm temperament that does not panic when faced with difficulties.

He was yelled at by Gu Qingshan, but he was not shocked or angry, and calmly raised the imperial edict in his hand.

"It wasn't me who asked Dad to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. It was the Emperor's decree." Jingyou looked determined, "Take him away."

The servants with vision had already sided with Song Mingli and his mother.

Those servants who only regretted that they had joined the team late were now even more eager to show themselves.

Take a look!

Not only do Song Mingli and his mother control the family's financial power, but even outsiders and the emperor are on their side!

This is the trend of the times!

Gu Qingshan was carried up by several strong servants and sent back to the study courtyard.

They even closed the gate and locked it from the outside.

There was still someone left guarding the door.

"Arrange two groups of people to patrol in shifts and don't let him climb over the wall!" said the person in charge of the outer courtyard.

Gu Qingshan was in the yard, vomiting blood in anger.
