No wonder the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince all came out to speak well of the princess.

"Yes, don't ask any more questions. Go down and prepare. By the way, have Madam come to the study." Ma Shangshu felt that time was running out, so he should pack up and move quickly. Later, he still had to go and invite the princess to the shelter.

The housekeeper left the study, arranged for the servants to pick up the things, and also took the second concubine and the second master to the shelter.

After everything was arranged, the housekeeper went to find the Shangshu's wife.

The Shangshu's wife came to the study and saw the Shangshu packing up his things. She felt strange and wondered if the emperor had arranged for the master to go out.

"Master, why are you looking for me so urgently? And why are you packing your belongings? Are you going somewhere on business?" The Shangshu's wife asked Shangshu Ma.

"Madam, the rumors outside the capital were spread by Zhang.

The Emperor has learned of this and is furious. He has demoted me to the rank of Vice Minister and ordered me to move out of the Shangshu Mansion today. "Go back and pack up, and we'll move out once the housekeeper buys the yard." Shangshu Ma said to his wife as he packed up.

"What? Demotion? Move out of the Shangshu Mansion? Master, I've already told you that the princess wouldn't agree with your handling of the situation. Also, what about Zhang and Ma Youdao?" The Shangshu's wife anxiously asked Shangshu Ma. She'd said that mother and son were unlucky, evil spirits who would bring disaster to the Shangshu Mansion sooner or later. The master refused to believe her, and now, he'd been demoted.

"Madam, please stop talking. I already know I was wrong. Madam, please hurry up and urge the servants to move out today, otherwise it would be disobeying the order." said Minister Ma.

"Yes, I will go down and urge them." The Shangshu's wife said and left the study.
