In the court.

Zhou Guangye, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at the head of the Ling family kneeling below and said angrily, "Lord Ling, I thought you were a good official, but I didn't expect..."

It’s not that Zhou Guangye was disappointed, he just felt embarrassed.

After all, the head of the Ling family has been working for him all these years. Now that something like this has happened to the head of the Ling family, it is a disgrace to him as the emperor.

Because he failed to judge people well, he allowed the head of the Ling family to do these things and they were exposed. Does he, the emperor who employs people, have a reputation for being "blind" and "unable to judge people well"?

This made Zhou Guangye very dissatisfied.

Zhou Guangye glanced at the still-begging Ling family head and waved his hand, saying, "Wang's imperial decree shall be stripped and exiled three thousand miles away. Ling's Fifth Lady shall also be exiled three thousand miles away."

In addition to Madam Ling and Miss Ling Wu being exiled three thousand miles away, the head of the Ling family was also demoted to Lingnan.

Of course, this Lingnan is not the direction where the daughter of the Minister of Rites married, but a place farther away.

Zhou Guangye was a "benevolent" monarch, but after the head of the Ling family made him lose face, he acted ruthlessly.

In addition to the three members of the Ling family, the other children of the head of the Ling family were also implicated. Zhou Guangye did not take action against the female members, but the careers of the male members were hit and they were basically demoted.

This is because they did not interfere with Madam Ling's harming others, otherwise they would have been exiled like Madam Ling.

Although Madam Ling harmed someone, she was not the one who did it, so she was exiled, and the crime was one that could not be pardoned.

Those who worked for Madam Ling and Miss Ling Wu were beaten to death.

For a while, the vegetable market in Beijing almost turned into a river of blood.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Miss Ling Wu is really going crazy. Why is this happening?

She should have married Su Yunqing in a grand ceremony, become the wife of a Shaoqing, and rely on her powerful family to hold Su Yunqing tightly in her hands, making him belong to her alone.

Why is this happening?

Those women are dead, they are not worthy of Su Yunqing at all, what's wrong with her killing them?

It would be fine if Su Yunqing only belonged to her. Why would those women compete with her for it?

She is the daughter of the Ling family, the daughter loved by her parents, and she can get whatever she wants! Of course, the same goes for Su Yunqing!

Is it wrong for her to want her possessions to belong to her alone?

She is right!

"I'm not wrong!" Miss Ling Wu cried frantically, "Mother, I'm not wrong. I don't want to be exiled... I don't want to go to the northwest... Mother..."

Mrs. Ling looked at her daughter. As much as she loved her in the past, she now resented her.

If it weren't for Miss Ling Wu's obsession, she wouldn't have killed Su Yunqing's fiancée, she wouldn't have been stripped of her imperial title, and she wouldn't have been exiled.

If she had not done these things, she would still be the high and mighty Lady of the Ling family. She is the wife of the head of the main branch of the Ling family, and her status is above everything else.

Instead of being a prisoner like now, being laughed at by people she once looked down upon.

Wushuang, who was standing at the window of a private room in a restaurant, stuck his head out and looked at the mother and daughter who were being dragged away from the capital.

"Is that Miss Ling Wu?" When Wushuang saw her, he really felt that she had the appearance of a real sweet girl.

Wushuang touched her face. Although she tried hard to show her sweet personality, she actually looked charming and enchanting.

However, she didn't expect that Miss Ling Wu, who looked so sweet, would be so paranoid and do so many things to get Su Yunqing.

Although nine-year-olds are considered precocious, it seems a bit surprising that someone as precocious as Miss Ling Wu is.

"Weren't you moved for a moment?" Wushuang turned around and looked at Su Yunqing and asked.

"What moved you?" Su Yunqing looked at her and said.

"There's someone who loves you like crazy, wouldn't you be moved?"

"I've liked you for ten years. Aren't you touched? Aren't you soft-hearted?" Wushuang asked with a smile.

Su Yunqing said calmly, "I don't feel anything. Other than thinking her methods were too cruel, I don't feel anything else."

"Besides, if she likes me, do I have to like her?"

"She's liked me for ten years, so I have to force myself to like her too just because of her feelings for me over the past ten years? Should I force myself to accept her?"

Su Yunqing leaned closer to her and said, "When it comes to love, the best thing is when both parties are in love. One-sided wishful thinking will not lead to any good results."

"Liking someone is a personal matter, but if you force the other person to like you just because you like them, then this liking is not true love."

"Oh?" Wushuang looked at him and said with a smile, "What about you and me?"

Su Yunqing reached out and touched her face and said, "I like you, and of course I hope you like me too."

"But if you don't like me, I won't force you to like me."

Wushuang smiled and moved closer to him, leaning into his arms and hugging his waist, saying, "I like you."

How could she not like such a handsome man?

And he is a man who is so compatible with her, it is impossible not to like him.

…

After the Ling family's affairs were resolved, Su Yunqing's marriage became even more popular.

After knowing that his "wife-killing" behavior was actually orchestrated by the mother and daughter of the Ling family, many people were moved.

This is a man who has achieved the position of Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple at a young age. He has the Queen sister Su Yunluan and the Su family as his backing.

How could a man with such good conditions not attract attention?
