Chapter 498 Sigh, so sad!

"good."

The kids had all seen the world, so they weren't too afraid.

Agreed cautiously.

In the next few days, Liao Jiu replaced all the people in the Qingning Marquis Mansion and reorganized it.

The old Marquis of Qingning took Yao and wanted to move back to the Marquis of Qingning's mansion while Madam Zhou was away, but was rejected by Liao Jiu.

We'll talk about everything after Mrs. Zhou returns home.

Among the group of elderly people who were replaced in the mansion, many were originally close to the old Marquis of Qingning. To be honest, in the matter of Madam Zhou, the old Marquis of Qingning was also suspected, and Yao was also suspected.

He will not let any of them go and will continue to investigate secretly.

Don't let him find out anything, otherwise, even if he is your biological father, he will deal with it fairly.

The Xiaoxiang Palace has also become more standardized, with the number of servants reduced by half and the number of guards doubled.

Jiang Lianzhu reinforced all the places in Prince Xiang's mansion where traps could be set.

Prime Minister Zhou received some advice from Emperor Xuan, and his previous plan to sacrifice Zhou Yuan in marriage to the eldest princess for the sake of the royal family's face and the eldest princess's face was cancelled. Emperor Xuan also rewarded an elite guard team to temporarily protect Mrs. Zhou.

The eldest princess reported Jiang Lianzhu as a witch out of personal favor, but this actually cleared her of the suspicion of plotting against Madam Zhou.

She wouldn't be so stupid as to cast the poison talisman herself and then let the wizard catch her.

But the eldest princess's petty mind and her malicious intention of killing someone with a borrowed knife are unsatisfactory.

Master Dazhi was severely taught a lesson by Xuanhuang. The princess asked you to catch monsters, and you went, but you didn't understand anything and just kept trying to curry favor with the powerful. If Master Dazhi didn't really have some ability to exorcise evil spirits, he would have been thrown into jail directly. When he returned, he was told to recite the Buddha's name and reflect on himself.

Master Dazhi returned to the temple in disgrace and went into seclusion again, and disappeared without a trace of visitors.

The eldest princess was also called by Emperor Xuan and given a severe lesson.

The eldest princess was so angry that she cried. She had already known that Zhou Yuan from the Zhou family had proposed to her. Although she was not very happy about it and thought that Zhou Yuan was not worthy of her and not as good as Liao Jiu, he was still a well-known good man in the capital.

This failed again, and she felt even more resentful.

Also, she was afraid that Mrs. Zhou, whom she often lived with, had been cursed by someone. She didn't know whether it would affect her or whether there was anything unclean on her body. She invited a magician from the royal temple to check her princess's mansion for several days. Apart from a few more snakes, insects, rats and ants, no curse was found, so she felt relieved.

She felt ashamed and afraid, and with Emperor Xuan's warning, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Because of this incident, Liao Jiu's marriage to Prince Xiaoxiang's mansion as a son-in-law seemed less important, and no one pursued the matter anymore.

There is no point in pursuing it, the matter is done.

Including the old Marquis of Qingning, his own son had long since alienated him, and his moral failings had no bearing on Liao Jiu.

The entire capital seemed to have accepted that the once glorious Governor-General of the Six Gates had become a son-in-law of a country girl and a divorced woman.

This world is so mysterious.

Some people changed their minds and thought, since Liao Jiu married into the Xiaoxiang Prince's mansion and became his adoptive father, he was also a superior person, living a rich, happy and beautiful life. Wasn't he happier than ordinary people?

As long as he himself is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!

***

Yao has been feeling a little uneasy these past few days.

Liao Changming went out for a walk in the back garden and practiced a set of Tai Chi. When he came back, Yao was in a daze.

If I had noticed that he was sweating, I would have come up to him, carefully wiped his sweat, and changed him into clean clothes.

Liao Changming coughed lightly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yao finally realized, "Master is back! Come in quickly and change your clothes. You're sweating all over, and the servants don't even know how to take care of you. What if you get caught in the wind and catch a cold? Wouldn't that be heartbreaking?"

Liao Changming liked to hear her say these words, which made him feel very important, so he deliberately didn't let the servant wipe his sweat.

"You look like you have something on your mind. Talk to me."

Yao sighed, "Master, your title can no longer be inherited. What should we do? Our Liao family's ancestors would be furious if they appeared in heaven. Liao Jiu is too ignorant. He doesn't take your title seriously. We still have Yan'er. If Yan'er can inherit your title, he can become a young marquis or something in the future. The glory of our Liao family can be passed down to the next generation... Now it's all gone. Sigh, I'm so worried!"

Liao Changming was also angry.

"There's nothing I can do. I've let this rebellious son get away with it! He's even more vicious than me. I don't even dare to scold him. This rebellious son is really driving me crazy."

He has been such a coward all his life.

He didn't even dare to scold Liao Jiu, let alone reason with him in front of Xuan Huang.

I can only accept it.

A look of disappointment flashed across Yao's eyes.

But he still said, "Master, don't be angry. It's all because Madam Zhou didn't teach Liao Jiu well. He's not close to his brothers, disrespectful to his parents, and now he's become a live-in son-in-law. He doesn't take you seriously, and he doesn't take our Liao family's ancestors seriously. You valued him and loved him so much in the past, but it was all in vain. Now you are teased and laughed at every time you go out. You have no face. If our Yan'er behaved like this, I would rather beat him to death than have a son like him. All of this is Madam Zhou's fault. She did so many outrageous things, and in the end, she said she was cursed. I think it's all an excuse!"

Liao Changming interjected, "It's probably not an excuse. They really have been cursed. They would deceive us, so how could they deceive the emperor? Speaking of which, we're lucky we don't live with Madam Zhou, otherwise, we would be implicated by her."

Upon hearing this, Yao covered her chest with her hands, looking very frightened.

"Master is right. They dare not deceive the emperor. That might be true. In fact, it is Madam Zhou who deserves it. She drove us out of the Qingning Marquis Mansion and occupied the entire mansion alone. How can a woman of such a large mansion be so shameless as to drive out the master of the house? Without a man in charge, the yin energy is strong and it is easy for people to take advantage of it. All kinds of demons and monsters can come to us. Look at this small house we live in. With the master's masculine energy, we live in peace and prosperity. It's all thanks to the master!"

Liao Changming liked to hear this.

Mrs. Zhou drove them out and was extremely domineering. Now that she is in trouble, it is her retribution.

Serves you right.

"Master, Madam Zhou is not at home now, and the mansion is empty without the head of the household. It's not good to leave it empty. Why don't we take this opportunity to move back in? This is our Qingning Marquis Mansion, the Liao family's property, and it belongs to you, Master. It's time for you to go back and guard the ancestral home. It's time for a man to be the head of the household to take charge." Yao continued to advocate.
