After the host binds to the childbearing system, one baby will be born.

The result was that the wedding night was so lively and exciting that the two people on the bed were scared.

Fortunately, the smoke from the fire and the screams of the two people attracted the servants who were guarding outside the door, and they were able to rescue the two people.

A small fire kept everyone in the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion awake until late at night. It also alarmed the Marquis's wife. The Qinxue Pavilion was burned down, so there was no choice but to move the two to Luohua Courtyard to rest.

Chen Siyuan had a hard time when he arrived at Luohuayuan. Although it was already September, there were still a lot of mosquitoes, which stared at him so much that his head was covered with lumps. The servants hurriedly lit mosquito repellent incense and finally managed to drive away the mosquitoes.

The two were finally about to fall asleep, but in a half-asleep state, they suddenly felt something cold and slippery wrapped around their legs. The experienced Chen Siyuan woke up suddenly and immediately realized that there was another snake crawling on the bed.

He didn't dare to move and hurriedly woke up Qingluan, but he didn't expect that she was so frightened that she took the pillow and screamed and beat the snake that climbed onto the bed.

The snake was frightened and bit him several times, and the pillow also hit his legs, causing great pain.

Once again attracted the servant who was on night watch.

The group of people finally caught the snake, and it was dawn. The two men had hardly slept all night and were exhausted. When they finally got some sleep, they were notified to go to the front yard to receive orders.

Lin Shuwan didn't know that she had missed so many good shows last night. She was put in solitary confinement, and the servants of Tingfeng Garden were not spared either. They were all punished and made to kneel in the yard of Tingfeng Garden for a whole night.

Tingfeng Garden is far away from Qinxue Pavilion and Luohua Courtyard, and Liu Ma and others are not sure what happened last night.

Lin Shuwan took a quick look and saw that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion had arrived.

Even Marquis Jing'an, who had been away from home all year round, was there, and so were Marquis Jing'an's dozen or so concubines, kneeling obediently behind him.

Marquis Jing'an was wearing court robes and was particularly happy and excited. Looking at the deathly face of the marquis's wife next to him, his expression softened a lot.

I also had the leisure to show some concern to Madam Hou: "Madam, you haven't looked well lately. You still need to rest more!"

The Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion has now been gradually marginalized by the capital's aristocratic families and the imperial power. Marquis of Jing'an and Chen Siyuan are very eager to regain their voice in the court, and have been working hard to this end.

However, in recent times, Marquis Jing'an seems to have bad luck and always encounters some villains.

Not only was he betrayed by his colleagues or so-called cronies, he also spent a huge amount of money but failed to get strong support; he was even nearly caught and taken to the prefect of Jingzhao for interrogation.

Although it was eventually discovered that nothing had happened, it still made Marquis Jing'an feel humiliated.

This morning, just as Marquis Jing'an came out from the Jingzhao prefect's office, someone hurried to tell him to return to the marquis's residence as soon as possible to receive the emperor's order, because the emperor had issued an oral order.

Upon hearing the news, Marquis Jing'an was overjoyed. He secretly thought that he had recently established connections with the General's Mansion, and after some recent operations, he should be able to gain more help.

So, Marquis Jing'an hurried back to his mansion to prepare to receive the emperor's oral order.

Along the way, he was looking forward to what kind of gifts and opportunities he might get. After all, for a marginalized family, such opportunities are rare.

"The eunuch has arrived~"

As the chanting ended, a palace servant wearing dark purple eunuch clothes and holding a whisk walked in.

Liu Youxi's eyes swept across everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, and his sight fell on the woman in the apricot-yellow dress standing behind the Marquis's wife, his eyes flashed slightly.

Is this the woman that His Majesty asked him to pay attention to?

She is indeed beautiful, with a touch of charm in her purity. No wonder she catches the eye of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty has ordered... kneel down..."

All the people in the Marquis' Mansion knelt down obediently.

Liu Youxi said loudly, "Your Majesty has ordered that the son of Marquis Jing'an favors his concubine over his wife, and his moral integrity is lacking. He is unworthy of his position. He will be stripped of his title and given sixty strokes of the cane as a warning to others. In addition, Marquis Jing'an failed to discipline his son properly, and he should reflect on himself as this has led to his son's condition. I decree this!"

As Liu Youxi's voice fell, everyone except Lin Shuwan raised their heads in astonishment and looked at Liu Youxi with expressions of disbelief.

"This..." Jing'an Hou suddenly came to his senses. He quickly stood up, took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Liu Youxi, saying, "Eunuch, is there any misunderstanding?"

Liu Youxi squinted at Jing'an Marquis and said coldly, "My Lord, this is His Majesty's decree. We dare not forge an imperial decree."

Chen Siyuan's face turned pale, and he looked at Liu Youxi with bloodshot eyes, then looked at Madam Hou with a pleading look.

Madam Hou naturally knew what Chen Siyuan meant. She stood up in a hurry and said to Liu Youxi respectfully, "Eunuch, the prince was injured yesterday. His ribs were injured. The doctor said he needs to rest for three months. Currently, he can only lie in bed. I wonder if the caning can be postponed until he recovers..."

Liu Youxi sneered, "Madam Hou, you think that His Majesty's order is no longer effective, right? Since Master Chen dared to do it, then he must admit it. He can take a prostitute as a concubine and welcome her into the house as his wife. He has disregarded etiquette and law, so he must bear the consequences."

He turned to look at Marquis Jing'an, "My Lord, you have been an official for many years. I don't need to tell you the consequences of disobeying the order."

Marquis Jing'an shuddered and said, "I understand." After that, he waved his hand and asked someone to bring Chen Siyuan over.

Chen Siyuan was immediately held by the two guards Liu Youxi brought out from the palace. He was roughly pressed on a bench and his trousers were pulled down. His face was as pale as paper, and he no longer looked as handsome as usual.

"Get started!" Liu Youxi gave the order.

Marquis Jing'an closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.

"Snap!" A crisp sound of a wooden stick hitting someone rang out, echoing in the air.

"what!"

Chen Siyuan screamed, the sound was sharp and piercing, as if he was torn apart in pain. His body trembled involuntarily, his face showed a distorted expression, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

With just one blow, he could feel his waist was broken.

The Marquis' wife knelt on the ground and cried, "My son~ My son~"

"Prince, wuwuwu, Prince~" Qingluan obviously did not expect that the Prince would have to pay such a huge price in order to marry her. Not only did he lose his position as Prince, he was also caned sixty times by His Majesty.

The prince was already in poor health. After these sixty strokes of the cane, would he still be alive?

Liu Youxi snorted coldly and waved his hand. Immediately, two maids came forward, clamped Qingluan's arms, and slapped Qingluan hard in the face.

Liu Youxi's slightly sarcastic voice sounded: "Now the prince of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion has been stripped by His Majesty. There is no prince in the mansion anymore, only the eldest son Chen. If you do it again, you will be severely punished!"
