Chapter 326 So infuriating it's almost unbearable.
During the month that Min Qiao was on her journey, many things happened in the capital.
First came the backlash from Min Rong.
Since Min Qiaoshi left the capital, some people have begun to impeach Min Rong.
At first, only a few people were impeached, and the language used in the impeachment was not very strong.
To put it bluntly, it was a test of Emperor Xiaozhao's attitude towards the Marquis of Xuanping's residence.
Emperor Xiaozhao simply ignored this.
Soon, more and more memorials impeaching Min Rong appeared, and the language of the impeachment became increasingly intense.
He was lax in managing his household, unfilial and disrespectful to his brothers, and openly falsely accused his own mother. His heart is deserving of death!
Gradually, Min Rong became a pariah, hated by everyone.
Finally, Emperor Xiaozhao grew impatient with the mountain of impeachment memorials and ordered Min Rong to go home and reflect on his mistakes.
Upon hearing this, Min Rong instantly aged ten years.
"Father, do you regret it?" Min Yuexi looked silently at Min Rong. "When you joined forces with the enemy to try to kill Grandmother, did you ever think this day would come?"
"Cough cough cough..." Min Rong was so emotional that he wanted to speak, but a series of coughs came out first.
Ever since being sent home to reflect on his actions, Min Rong has felt a tightness in his chest, and his breathing has become more and more difficult each day.
He knew it was a psychological issue, so he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking he could relax and it would get better in a few days.
However, a few days later, his symptoms not only did not improve, but he also developed other symptoms.
For example, I tend to cough easily when I get excited. Also, I tend to feel sleepy when I'm quiet. I seem to have a tendency to be drowsy.
He used to sleep three hours a day. But now, even five hours a day doesn't seem to be enough for him.
When he finally realized something was wrong, he called a doctor for a diagnosis. The doctor told him that he was suffering from excessive worry and emotional distress. He just needed to relax and he would get better gradually.
Min Rong knew his own situation; he initially thought so, but as it turned out, it wasn't true at all.
If one doctor wasn't enough, he would call two, three, ten, eight, until he alarmed Emperor Xiaozhao, who sent an imperial physician to treat him.
However, the diagnosis was exactly the same as that of the other doctors.
After that, Min Rong gave up on herself and stopped torturing herself, instead staying home to recuperate.
"You unfilial daughter! It's all clearly your grandmother's fault! Why aren't you helping me, but instead siding with your grandmother?"
Min Rong finally stopped coughing and immediately retorted angrily, "You ask me if I regret it? I'll tell you, I don't regret it! The one who was wrong wasn't me! It was your grandmother!"
"If she hadn't gone too far and didn't take me seriously, would I have done this?"
"If she hadn't caused trouble everywhere and made enemies all around, would we have needed to break ties with the Lu family? Would we have needed to be enemies with the Crown Prince?"
"She caused all the trouble, so isn't it only right to use her life to quell everyone's anger?"
Hearing Min Rong's resentful words, Min Yuexi felt nothing but contempt and no anger.
Because she had long recognized her father's selfish and foolish nature.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that he would push all the blame onto Min Qiao Shi.
"And you! What good do you think you'll get by clinging to your grandmother?"
"Now that I've been rejected by the Emperor and your grandmother has left the capital, let's see what you're capable of keeping your status and position as the future Third Prince's consort!"
Min Rong's words were full of malice. At that moment, he hated everyone!
From the moment Min Qiaoshi changed, everything slipped out of his control!
The foolish woman Wu, who should have been fighting for him, has become a puppet, with the string being held by Min Yuexi!
Min Yuexi, who was supposed to marry into a prestigious family and bring glory to the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, ended up ruining her body and reputation. She became eccentric, resembled Min Qiaoshi, and opposed him at every turn!
Min Changzhong is also a useless good-for-nothing. Not only can he not control his wife, but he also listens to her in everything.
The daughter-in-law he had carefully chosen only made him furious! This woman not only didn't stand by his side, but instead went straight to Min Yuexi's side and became Wu's strategist!
If he had known this would happen... he should have joined forces with Steward Ding and directly deposed Madam Min! If he had clearly discussed the matter with Steward Ding back then, there might have been a way to both preserve his title and abolish Madam Min's position!
Unfortunately, it was all too late!
"There's no need for Father to worry about that."
Min Yuexi naturally had no idea what Min Rong was thinking. She just smiled and said meaningfully, "Oh, I forgot to tell Father that I came here to give him good news."
Min Rong was taken aback, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. "Good news? His Majesty has reinstated me to my original position? Or has your marriage to the Third Prince been canceled?"
Min Yuexi ignored Min Rong's wishful thinking and said playfully, "I went to the Flower Festival held by the Yongchang Marquis's mansion today, and I was harassed by the daughters of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue."
"They not only mocked me verbally, but also tried to beat up the two girls next to me, giving me a real humiliation."
Upon hearing this, Min Rong not only showed no pity, but instead gloated, saying, "You deserve it!"
Min Qiaoshi left, he was punished by Emperor Xiaozhao, and the entire Xuanping Marquis's mansion became a laughing stock.
Instead of staying home quietly, this girl dared to openly attend a banquet. Isn't this just asking for trouble and reaping what she sowed?
However, just as Min Rong was feeling relieved, he heard Min Yuexi continue, "But then, just as they humiliated me, a lot of people jumped out to protect me."
Min Yuexi chuckled and started counting on her fingers, "The Lady of the Earl of Enping, the Lady of the Marquis of Yongning, the Dowager Lady Zheng of the Duke of Jin's Mansion, and the Sixth Miss Zhong of the Zhong Family..."
"Oh, Father should know who Lady Enping is, right? She's Su Rongrong from next door, the third granddaughter my grandmother adopted, my dear third sister!"
At this moment, Min Rong was so angry he felt like his teeth were about to break.
He was filled with hatred! These connections should have belonged to him! These connections were things he could only dream of, but now they had become this brat's crutch!
However, that's not all.
"Also, someone from the General Zhenguo's Mansion just arrived," Min Yuexi said, her voice dripping with rage. "They said that Old Madam Yuan heard about my experience at the banquet and felt very sorry for me."
"So, she plans to pick an auspicious day to recognize me as her goddaughter."
"From now on, I will be a young lady of the General of the State's Mansion! Old Madam Yuan said that the influence of the General of the State's Mansion will be enough to protect me!"
"Father, do you think this is a good thing?"
Min Rong was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Min Yuexi continued, "Oh, right, the people from the Zhenguo General's Mansion just left, and then someone from the palace came. They said that the Third Prince heard that I was wronged at the banquet, so he specially sent someone to give me some gifts."
"He also said that he would ask the Emperor to let us get married as soon as possible. After we get married, I will be the rightful Third Prince's wife, and no one will dare to bully me anymore."
Min Yuexi's tone was too smug and infuriating. Min Rong finally lost his temper, pointed to the door, and angrily shouted, "Get out! Get out of here!"
