The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

"What's more, this is such an immoral thing. You are right. In the future, all such cases will be sent to me. I will judge them personally, but you are also -"

Having said that, the Great Chu Emperor paused and said helplessly.

"You should get closer to the officials in the court when you have time. I heard that many civil and military officials have invited you to drink, but you refused?"

"This is not good. They are all elders of the court. They just invite you to have a drink. You don't have to refuse everything. Eat a few more meals, and it will be more convenient to do things in the future."

It is absolutely impossible for the Emperor of Great Chu to say such things to other princes, especially the favored ones, and he might even give them strong warnings.

However, this person happened to be the fifth prince.

After hearing the words of the Emperor of Great Chu, the Fifth Prince did not respond directly, but shook his head seriously.

"Father, I don't like socializing by nature, and I usually like to read more old files from the Jingzhao Yinfu or the Dali Temple. I can learn more about worldly affairs from these old files, so there is no need for so-called socializing."

"I know what you mean, but I just want to learn more skills and share your worries. As long as I can make you worry less, go to bed earlier and take care of yourself, I will be satisfied."

The Emperor of Chu was deeply moved after hearing this. When he was about to say something, a eunuch suddenly walked in from outside.

He glanced at the fifth prince and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, the fifth prince said with great tact: "It seems that the emperor still has things to do, so I will take my leave now."

The Emperor of Great Chu glared at the eunuch with displeasure.

"Is there anything you can't say in front of the Fifth Prince? Fifth Prince, don't leave. No matter what it is, you have to listen!"

After hearing this, the Fifth Prince did not leave.

When the eunuch heard what the emperor said, he dared not hesitate any longer and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty! The servants of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion came to the palace to pass on a message, saying that Changping Marquis's Mansion blocked the door of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion and wanted to cancel the engagement. They also brought a lot of people with them, and there were many people watching. It seems that they are determined to cancel the engagement. Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion asks Your Majesty to make the decision!"

The Great Chu Emperor's expression, which had been very amiable just now, suddenly changed, and immediately became overcast with dark clouds, and he snorted coldly.

"The Xie family really doesn't obey orders. This marriage was granted by me. Are you trying to disobey orders?"

……

"boom!"

Lord Xie coldly threw the bowl of abortion medicine in his hand to the ground, which once again attracted everyone's attention, including Madam Xiao's.

Meeting the cold gaze of Lord Xie, Madam Xiao suddenly felt guilty.

He just came out to admit that he had a child, which was equivalent to admitting that his son and Xie Ruyu had had an affair before their wedding, and he admitted it in front of so many people... How embarrassing!

Lord Xie gritted his teeth.

"You are such a jerk, Marquis Cheng'en Mansion! You are really going too far! Even though the Emperor has granted me a marriage, you actually allowed Xiao Yusheng to do such a shameless thing. Are you bullying me because there is no one in the Marquis Changping Mansion?"

Madam Xiao wanted to explain herself, but Marquis Xie did not give her a chance to speak. He interrupted her and spoke again, this time with righteous words.

"My Changping Marquis Mansion has an ancestral precept that the daughters of the Xie family must never share a husband. Before the wedding, your Cheng'en Marquis Mansion had the son seduce the second daughter of my Xie family. On the day of the wedding, you also framed my Changping Marquis Mansion's jewel Xie Lingxi as a woman who would bring down her husband."

"You have repeatedly humiliated my Changping Marquis Mansion. Do you think too highly of your Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, or do you think too highly of my Changping Marquis Mansion? This marriage was granted by the Emperor, but your Cheng'en Marquis Mansion did not abide by the marriage contract and destroyed the marriage between the two families. You must give me an explanation today."

Lord Xie gave a difficult decision.

"If you choose Xie Ruyu, you can no longer covet my Lingxi. If you choose Lingxi, you can no longer want Xie Ruyu, including the bastard in your belly!"

"Xie Ruyu and her future brother-in-law committed an indecent act and got pregnant with an illegitimate child. I will immediately take this person who has brought disgrace upon our family and punish him according to family rules. This illegitimate child will also naturally be eliminated. Madam Xiao, please give me a definite answer!"

Lord Xie gave a lecture and stated his position at the same time.

The Emperor has granted the marriage, and the Xie family will not take the initiative to cancel the engagement. However, the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion has humiliated the Changping Marquis' Mansion twice, and now they have given birth to an illegitimate child. They will have to pay the price and must make a choice.

If he wanted to keep Xie Ruyu, he couldn't marry Xie Lingxi, which would be disobeying the emperor's order and he had to cancel the engagement. If he wanted to marry Xie Lingxi and obey the emperor's order, he couldn't leave that bastard behind.

This decision seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.

Because that evil seed was no simple one. It was Xiao Yusheng's only descendant. In order to obey the imperial order, he had to cut off his son's descendant.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't make a decision at all.

After the people heard Lord Xie's accusations, someone in the crowd immediately started cursing.

After all, the evidence is conclusive, and Madam Xiao did not make any defense. Doesn't that mean she has tacitly acknowledged that what Marquis Xie said was true?

"I never thought that the Cheng'en Marquisate would do such a thing. I was wondering why the wedding day would be so ugly, but I didn't expect that this family really framed me on purpose."

"What's the point of framing Miss Lingxi as a jinx for no reason? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

"You don't know this, right? If you ask me, this Xiao Yusheng probably wants to have the best of both worlds. Didn't the sour poems he exchanged with Xie Ruyu just now clearly show that he doesn't like Xie Lingxi at all?"

"I guess they want to put a hoodwink on Xie Lingxi first, and then torture her after she gets married. After a long time, they want Xie Lingxi to die of illness, so that Xie Ruyu can make room for her!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how vicious! I didn't expect this wealthy family to have such a vicious heart! This is too much! There will definitely be no good result!"

"Ma'am, you have to calm down!"

Butler Li came out again at some point. Seeing that his wife didn't say a word, he became a little worried and hurried over to remind her.

Madam Xiao's face looked really ugly, but she also knew that she could only stand firm on her own and not be led by the nose by Marquis Xie.

But there is no better choice right now.

Lord Xie seemed to have given her a choice, but in fact, this was an unsolvable problem. She could not protect the incense by disobeying orders, but she also could not disobey orders in order to protect the incense.

Mrs. Xiao really didn't know what to do.

She couldn't help feeling a little resentful in her heart. Why wasn't the Marquis here at this time? Did a woman like her have to solve such a difficult problem?

Madam Xiao also began to resent Marquis Xie.

If Lord Xie had sent someone to negotiate privately today, she could still maneuver and find a way to rescue Xie Ruyu and hide her.

Without the pregnant Xie Ruyu blocking the gate of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, the Xie family would not be able to be so arrogant.

But now that the matter has gotten out of hand, his actions to save Xie Ruyu just now have confirmed the relationship between his son and Xie Ruyu, leaving no room for maneuver.
