The entire Qingping Marquis's family: "..."

Marquis Qingping's face turned purple and he felt like fainting again.

There are some things that can be done, but cannot be said.

With Shen Qingyu tearing away his veil of shame and saying it in front of the younger generation, where would Marquis Qingping's face be?

But Shen Qingyu spoke calmly and without any attempt to hide her thoughts.

Not at all! No! Cover up! Conceal!

Lady Qingping's face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled, and she didn't even dare to shout.

Shen Qingyu turned to look at Lady Qingping: "The marriage of the Second Young Master and his younger brothers and sisters in the manor is not easy to decide, is it? Are they too picky and not good enough?"

Lady Qingping felt a sweet taste in her throat and almost vomited blood!

That's true.

Because the Marquis of Qingping had sold his estate, the women in his household didn't have any jewelry to wear when visiting other people's homes, so everyone privately felt that the Marquis of Qingping's mansion was empty.

Unfortunately, Qi Yunheng wasn't very capable, and since he was just hanging around in that small circle, no one took him seriously.

As time went by, although no one said anything on the surface, there was a lot of gossip about the Qingping Marquis's residence in private.

In this situation, rumors also circulated that the young master of the Qingping Marquis's mansion and his wife were not on good terms, and that the young master would not stay at home when he returned to the capital.

What's the point of associating with people like that?

As a result, the Qingping Marquis's mansion was completely looked down upon by everyone.

Qi Yunheng has reached the age where he should be married, but he doesn't want the children of low-ranking officials, and the noble families don't want him either.

Even if she's an illegitimate daughter, people aren't happy about it.

Lady Qingping was furious, but had nowhere to vent her anger.

Now that Shen Qingyu has laid it out so bluntly, Lady Qingping's eyes are practically shooting knives.

"Shen family! You..."

Shen Qingyu looked down at the Lady of Qingping Marquis sitting on the ground, her expression unchanged despite being scolded.

“Mother, if you could speak frankly and openly today, and if everyone could talk things out properly, I wouldn’t have torn off all pretenses. But you took what you shouldn’t have, and then you sat on your own pedestals, condescendingly ordering us around…”

"You are also a young lady from an official family...aren't you ashamed?"

"Qingyu..." Qi Yunxiao stepped forward and took Shen Qingyu's hand. "You've made yourself very clear. There's no need to say anything more."

Qi Yunxiao glanced at the Qingping Marquis and his wife, then at the dumbfounded Qi Yunheng and his several illegitimate sons and daughters: "It seems that the Qingping Marquis's mansion doesn't actually expect us to come back. Let's go."

Seeing that Qi Yunxiao and his wife were about to leave, Marquis Qingping was furious: "I'm going to see the Emperor! You are unfilial! You are not worthy to be the heir of my Marquis Qingping's mansion. I demand that the Emperor strip you of your title of heir!"

Qi Yunxiao didn't care at all: "Go ahead. Don't be shy."

The two men walked away without looking back.

Marquis Qingping was so angry that he almost fainted again.

Just then, the doctor arrived with the steward and quickly went to check on the situation.

Lady Qingping, disregarding all decorum, wept terribly, crying, "What sins have I committed... Waaah..."

Marquis Qingping sat in a chair, panting, his face ashen.

After the doctor finished examining the patient and confirmed that there was no problem, he quietly left. The butler would probably have to give the doctor some hush money to keep him quiet.

The doctor readily agreed and left, but shook his head as soon as he stepped outside.

The joke about the Qingping Marquis's mansion has already spread throughout the city, why would he need to spread it again?

He would never do such a thing!

Value dropped.

After everything was tidied up, Lady Qingping also finished washing up. The couple sat together, neither of them looking too happy.

"My lord, are you really going to meet the emperor?"

"Of course I'll go!" Marquis Qingping gritted his teeth.

Today, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu have completely humiliated Qingping Hou.

Since that's the case, then let's all be shameless.

Anyway, that rebellious son's forehead was so dark that he was ineligible to serve as an official in the court.

Back in Xinghua Lane, Shen Qingyu looked at Qi Yunxiao's calm face: "Before you went back, you deliberately smeared black on your forehead again. Did you not want them to know that you were all better?"

Qi Yunxiao glanced down at Shen Qingyu's hand that was tugging at his sleeve, then turned around and grasped it in his palm.

"Um."

"Will they really go to His Majesty to demand that you be stripped of your title as heir apparent?"

Qi Yunxiao considered Qingping Hou's usual temperament and nodded: "Yes."

Aren't you worried?

"What's there to worry about?" Qi Yunxiao thought that the Emperor was his adoptive father, so he didn't care at all.

Since he has been assigned a task, what use is the title of the heir of the Qingping Marquis's mansion, whether he has it or not?

Shen Qingyu thought about her mother-in-law, who had secretly become a concubine of His Majesty the Emperor, and felt that... it was better that the title was gone.

Why does the daughter-in-law feel inexplicably guilty when her wife is kidnapped, leaving behind a son who inherits the other's title?

When young people have no ambition, they become invulnerable.

So when they heard that Marquis Qingping had actually gone to the palace to meet the emperor and request that Qi Yunxiao be stripped of his title as heir, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu were having snacks under a big tree in the middle of the courtyard.

When they heard that His Majesty the Emperor had agreed to the Marquis of Qingping's request and also agreed to expel Qi Yunxiao's clan, Qi Yunxiao and his wife had already finished their snacks and were drinking tea to aid their digestion.

"Oh, is that so? I understand." Qi Yunxiao waved his hand, indicating that it was all just passing clouds.

"My lady, this tea is delicious, please have some more." Qi Yunxiao poured tea for Shen Qingyu.

Shen Qingyu also sipped her tea slowly and deliberately.

Grade 11: "..."

So you don't care about such a major event as being expelled from the clan and stripped of the title of heir apparent?

Within a single day, the Qingping Marquis's residence received numerous invitations, all inviting the Marquis's wife to drink tea and admire the flowers.

Lady Qingping understood perfectly well: knowing that Qi Yunxiao had been stripped of his title as heir apparent, she wondered if Qi Yunheng was now in the same boat. The second young master of the Marquis's mansion, whom she had looked down upon before, was now being admired by her...

But this is also an opportunity!

Without saying a word, Lady Qingping quickly put on the last set of splendid jewelry and clothes she had kept hidden away and went out to keep the appointment.

After visiting several of her potential in-laws, Lady Qingping returned and went to pester Marquis Qingping: "Didn't you say that Qi Yunxiao's title of heir apparent was gone? Then why not just give the title of heir apparent directly to Heng'er?"

Marquis Qingping was also agitated: "How should I know? Didn't I tell you? His Majesty ignored me!"

He also found it strange.

When he asked His Majesty to strip Qi Yunxiao of his title of Heir Apparent, His Majesty agreed without hesitation.

When he said he would expel Qi Yunxiao from the clan, His Majesty, though his expression was not good, agreed.

But when he finally asked to be named the heir apparent to the filial Qi Yunheng, His Majesty became furious: "Do you think that the appointment of the heir apparent is something you can decide to do as you please? That you can appoint whomever you want? Does this empire belong to the Qi family?"

"This chair is quite nice, would you like to sit down?"

The memorial was thrown directly at him, bruising the Marquis of Qingping's forehead!
