General Li’s Mansion.

Mrs. Li was originally ill in bed because of her son's death.

Now hearing that his granddaughter had been sent back, he fainted again from anger.

"Mom, wake up."

"Doctor, you must save my mother."

Master Li Er was extremely anxious.

These days, he was investigating his elder brother's affairs, as well as many other matters at the Dali Temple. His mother and eldest sister-in-law had reported their daughter's name without telling him.

When he found out, he wanted to withdraw it immediately, but it was too late.

Things turned out just as he had imagined. Now that General Li's Mansion has collapsed and something like this has happened, if this gets out, General Li's Mansion will be in real trouble.

Now that he knew his daughter had been sent back to the mansion, he was actually relieved. He was not like other families who thought it was right to use their daughters as pawns to seek benefits for the family.

Looking at his wife who was crying, Master Li Er felt a little guilty.

The daughter was young and usually close to her mother and sister-in-law. She didn't listen to many of the wife's words. The wife didn't agree with this matter and tried to stop it. But the daughter insisted on doing this.

"Father, mother..."

Li Die was extremely regretful. With her uncle dead, she might not be able to marry a better man than the prince of Qin. So when her grandmother and aunt were choosing candidates, she was willing.

She originally thought that she could marry the son of Marquis Qin, and with her family background and means, she would be able to defeat Princess Chao'an, who was born in Minister Gu's mansion, in the future. However, she did not expect things to turn out like this.

"Second brother, now that things have gotten to this point, and Mother is ill again, I, as a woman, don't know what to do. Please send someone to contact the Empress in the palace."

General Li's wife wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief. What else could she say at this moment? With the current state of the Li family, she had to find out who killed her husband and keep everything stable in the mansion. She thought that Li Die would help General Li's mansion after she got married, but she didn't expect that she would become a laughing stock. Now, nothing she did would work.

The same was true for several other families, but some families, under the instigation of others, planned to find someone to impeach the Prince of Qin and Princess Chao'an.

Although it was an oral order, it was still an imperial decree. The ladies in the palace said that they should not bring up this matter with their own family members, but people from other families could bring it up.

"Long live my emperor."

"Flat body."

The ministers were talking about what they were going to report today. After half an hour, an imperial censor suddenly stepped out and began to impeach the son of Qin Hou.

"Your Majesty, I impeach the son of Marquis Qin. He relied on the Marquis Qin's mansion to do whatever he wanted... Previously, in the camp outside the capital, he even set up private punishments and beat his subordinates with sticks..."

The minister handed in a memorial listing many of Qin Chen's crimes.

After this censor finished speaking, another censor stood up.

"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach the son of Marquis Qin. Marquis Qin's manor in the suburbs of Beijing relies on the power of Marquis Qin to oppress the people..."

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lord Qin for embezzling military pay..."

Several censors stood up and some impeached Minister Gu.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Minister Gu. Minister Gu married Lord Xie's daughter, but did not treat her well. He also colluded with the daughter of the Zhu family..."

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Minister Gu for not managing his household properly and for protecting Zhu's daughter..."

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Princess Chao'an. Princess Chao'an has made great contributions to the country by growing crops, but I have received news that the first person to grow these crops was a farmer at the border..."
