Xiao Youran quickly seized the opportunity to ask, "Could this celestial treasure possess magical powers?"

Su suddenly looked at Xiao Youran, as if she understood something.

Prime Minister Lin also smiled, "It is said that this treasure was last opened a hundred years ago. We still have no idea what kind of magical powers this treasure possesses."

Xiao Youran was relieved; it seemed that no one knew the secret behind this bracelet.

Madam Lin said to her daughter-in-law beside her, "Quickly, go and call all the younger generation over, let's get to know each other!"

Soon, the younger generation of the Lin family arrived, and after a round of family reunions, it was quite a lively occasion.

Sure enough, that chubby little boy reappeared, along with three other boys, each one bigger than the last!

Xiao Youran immediately became the youngest sister again, which made her extremely depressed.

...

The news shocked the entire population of Kyoto.

Everyone was marveling at how lucky the Su family was!

She was an abandoned orphan girl from a young age, but was adopted by the Su family, the richest family in Dingzhou.

She was a divorced woman after the divorce, but she was able to remarry and not only became the Duchess of the State, but was also doted on by the Duke.

Although her father was the king of the Northern Di, he still had Northern Di blood, which made him seem less noble. But her mother was the younger sister of Prime Minister Lin!

Who is Prime Minister Lin?

The Lin family is the number one family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a history spanning two hundred years! Legend has it that a divine crown princess appeared two hundred years ago!

Our ancestors included several empresses and empress dowagers!

The Lin family has only been without daughters for the last few generations; otherwise, what role would Empress Qi have played in the palace?

Su herself was also an extraordinary woman. She held the position of guest minister in the Ministry of Revenue and recently came up with an idea for border trade for the Duke of Pingguo, which led to peace talks between the two countries and benefited the people of the border city.

What a great deed!

What kind of incredibly lucky person is this?

The Jiang family of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion was once again dumbfounded.

Many people felt both regret and remorse.

Especially Jiang Mingyi.

The news that the Northern Di people were secretly searching for the princess in Dingzhou was brought by my third brother.

Upon seeing the portrait, he knew that his wife was the princess that the Northern Di people were looking for.

Jiang Mingxin recognized her immediately and was terrified. The Great Zhou and the Northern Di were sworn enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle. His Yong'an Earl's Mansion was paid by the Great Zhou, and he himself held a third-rank military position, while his second brother had married a princess of the Northern Di. If word got out, people would surely suspect him of secretly colluding with the Northern Di.

It has to be said that Jiang Mingxin had clearly done something wrong and was afraid of giving himself away and arousing suspicion. So after discussing it with his mother, he decided to find an opportunity to divorce Su Shi and get rid of her and her two children by any means necessary.

Although Jiang Youran and Jiang Youchen are of the Jiang family bloodline, they also have the blood of the Northern Di people. If this is used against them, their future will inevitably be affected.

At that time, Jiang Mingyi happened to meet Princess Qingping, who was said to have fallen in love with him at first sight. Princess Qingping bewitched Jiang Mingyi, promised Jiang Mingxin a promising future, and wrote a letter to Prince Rong to arrange the position of Minister of Revenue for Jiang Mingli.

So, at the birthday banquet of Lady Yong'an, Lady Yong'an did not hesitate to have Gao set a trap to embarrass Su. Unexpectedly, Su saw through the scheme and had no choice but to sign the divorce papers.

Jiang Mingyi was originally reluctant to divorce his wife, and even more reluctant to harm his two children.

Lady Yong'an had always emphasized that if the news that Lady Su was of royal blood from the Northern Di was spread, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion would inevitably be accused of treason and collusion with the enemy, and the lives of hundreds of people in the entire mansion would be in danger.

Furthermore, given that the future of his eldest and third brothers was crucial to the future of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Soon after the divorce, he married Princess Qingping. Subsequently, his third brother indeed took control of the Dingzhou border army, and the entire Yong'an Earl's Mansion was moved to the capital city according to regulations.

But what I didn't expect was...

This Lady Su is not only the daughter of the Northern Di king, but also the niece of Chief Minister Lin!

He thought the Su family was a dead end after the Northern Di people were exposed, but Yun Yue's move to open up border trade easily broke the deadlock.

If the Great Zhou and the Northern Di can peacefully engage in border trade, then the conflict will no longer be one of mortal enmity. Moreover, Yun Yue and Lady Su have only been married for a short time, so naturally no one would suspect Yun Yue of treason.

Originally, he had a deep relationship with the Su couple for more than ten years, and Su had grown up in the Great Zhou Dynasty since childhood, so it was perfectly reasonable that he had no idea about her identity.

Moreover... with a Chief Minister like Lin in the court, not only my elder brother, but I myself am fully capable of establishing myself in the court!

What a great situation it was!

Why, why did things come to this?!

Now that the eldest brother has been dismissed from his official post, he himself has become a useless person, the third brother has staggered into prison, and the entire Earl's mansion has been placed under house arrest. The foundation that the Yong'an Earl's mansion has built up over the past hundred years has been mostly emptied!

Selling bronzes privately is tantamount to colluding with the enemy!

If the third brother uncovers anything further during the investigation, and the charge of treason is established, the entire Yong'an Marquis's mansion will truly be doomed!

Why did I become so bewitched and believe Princess Qingping? And why did I believe what my mother said?

Jiang Mingyi closed his eyes in pain.

On this day, another piece of news suddenly reached the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

It is said that Jiang Mingxin, who was imprisoned in Dali Temple, committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The entire household was shocked; Lady Yong'an was completely rendered speechless and unable to move.

Upon hearing this, Tian collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Soon the imperial edict was issued, sentencing Jiang Mingxin only for the crime of illegally possessing copper mines. Although the Yong'an Earl's family was spared, they were all stripped of their titles and official positions and demoted to commoners.

What followed was a letter of divorce sent by Princess Qingping.

With this, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion disappeared.

The Jiang family also quickly disappeared from Kyoto.

...

During this period, Xiao Youran focused on building a team of child stars, whose talents included singing, dancing, magic, etc. Yuan Hao has been successfully brainwashed by her and has become a new type of agent.

With the popular line from "Little Nezha," "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," becoming a hot topic among the people of Kyoto, the transformed Su Yun Troupe became a sensation in Kyoto.

That's a story for another time.

While Su was busy preparing for their trip to the Northern Barbarians, neither of them paid any attention to the affairs of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.

When the mother and daughter heard that the Jiang family had been demoted to commoners and moved away from the capital, they went to the gate of the Marquis's mansion, only to find it deserted.

Thinking of the straightforward and kind-hearted chubby girl, Jiang Mingwei, Su felt a pang of sadness.

However, before Lady Su could set off for the Northern Di, the Fourth Prince and his wife brought a middle-aged man to her.

This day was exactly half a month after the palace banquet.

At that time, Madam Su was preparing Yun Yue's luggage for her return to Liaodong. Yun Yue had someone call her to the reception room from the front yard.

She also found it very strange, as she usually did not come to the front yard.

Unexpectedly, I recognized the handsome middle-aged man standing between the fourth prince and his wife at a glance.

Who is the Northern Di King in the portrait from that day?
