Before the Marquis of Zhenbei could react, the officials moved on to the next topic.
"Your Majesty, things haven't been very stable in Bianjing lately," the Grand Commandant said, standing in the ranks and rubbing his forehead.
"Oh? Tell me about it." What the Holy Emperor liked most about these officials was that they were more informed than his personal eunuchs.
He then glared at Eunuch Wang.
For some inexplicable reason, Eunuch Wang felt guilty.
"I heard that three children appeared in Bianjing yesterday, and wherever they went, families were destroyed and people died."
"These three people appeared in Prime Minister Jiang's residence. Prime Minister Jiang's son is dead, and his wife has been drowned."
"Appearing at Lord Zuo's house, Lord Zuo also lost his wife and children."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Muting's head nearly fell to the ground. What a misfortune for his family! No, it was his own bad luck!
"What kind of child is so amazing?" The Holy Emperor couldn't help but think of Lin Wanwan.
"They are Lin Chang'an, the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and his daughter Lin Wanwan. I heard the other one is General Yao's son."
The official in charge of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices still harbored resentment over the incident where the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei touched her daughter's hand, so naturally she confessed everything.
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei suddenly raised his head.
"Impossible. Lin Wanwan can't even speak properly, and Lin Chang'an is at the school. How could it be them?"
"Lord Guanglu Temple, you must be mistaken!"
Lin Wanwan is dull-witted and only knows how to eat. How could she possibly be able to get close to Prime Minister Jiang?
Lin Chang'an is even less likely to be involved; he skips school, gets into fights, and teases his teachers—he does it all.
etc…
Skipping school?
Could it be that the unfilial son skipped school with the Yao family's son?
The Holy Emperor was completely bewildered.
Did Wanwan go to the Fire-Scattering Ceremony with Lin Chang'an?
How could the emperor have missed such a shocking scene?
Fortunately, it wasn't discovered that he had been cuckolded by Consort Zhao, otherwise he would have lost face even at the imperial mausoleum.
"Marquis of Zhenbei, your rank will be demoted another rank!"
Marquis Zhenbei was stunned.
Good, good, good. These unfilial son and daughter have actually brought him to this state.
It was downgraded two levels in two days.
He was a fourth-rank official, then a fourth-rank official, and then a fifth-rank official!
Now, he's not even as good as Ye's second uncle!
