My father teamed up with the fake Shang Yangyang and left evidence in Shang Yuanshan's study.
The scene changed, and Emperor Ming of Yuan was angry because of Shang Yuanshan's rebellion. He sentenced Shang Yuanshan's family to be torn into pieces by five horses. However, their family was not implicated because they had separated from Shang Yuanshan in advance.
On the contrary, because of their meritorious services, he and his father were promoted in official positions. Until the new emperor ascended the throne, his father was already the prime minister and he was also the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Shang Jinzhi woke up because of the pain in his body, and he was still thinking about what he had just dreamed. Everything was too real.
"I should be the Minister of Personnel. I shouldn't be like this."
"Yes, they all deserve to die. I shouldn't have done this. Someone, come, let me go." Shang Jinzhi shouted madly.
Then the door of the ice room was opened, and a guard looked at him and said with a smile: "I just received news that your father Shang Wanning attempted to assassinate Duke Shang last night but failed, and now he has committed suicide in prison."
"Yes, and your mother, it seems she also bit her tongue and committed suicide."
"Also, do you know? Lord Shang is the biological son of Duke Shang. He has acknowledged his father now."
"There are also rumors that Lord Shang's title will not be revoked, but Lord Shang's legitimate son Shang Yanqing will directly inherit the title of Duke Shang. Some people also say that Lord Shang's title may also be inherited by his son."
"Puff~" Shang Jinzhi listened to the guard's words, his eyes widened like dead fish eyes, and finally he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The guard continued to stab Shang Jin in the heart and said, "But it seems that your sister is lucky. Lord Shang feels sorry for her and wants to keep her in his mansion."
Shang Jinzhi screamed frantically: "It shouldn't be like this, they all deserve to die." As he finished his words, he spat out another large mouthful of blood, and his neck tilted and he fell silent.
The guard stepped forward and checked Shang Jinzhi's breath. After confirming that Shang Jinzhi had stopped breathing, he ordered Shang Jinzhi's body to be dragged out and thrown into a mass grave outside the capital.
Inside the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Yun climbed in through the window.
"My Lord, my Lord, Shang Jinzhi was thrown into a mass grave outside the capital. It has been confirmed that that is part of Shang Jinzhi's body."
Shang Yuanshan asked doubtfully: "Part of the body?"
Mu Yun: "My Lord, before Shang Jinzhi died, some of his clothes were removed... and also..."
"No need to say more." Shang Yuanshan stopped Mu Yun, he didn't want to listen any more.
Duke Shang: "I never thought that the seemingly gentle Princess Jiaxing could be so cruel."
A few days later, in the Shang clan ancestral hall, the patriarch of the Shang clan reported Shang Yuanshan's life story to the tablets of his ancestors.
After Shang Yuanshan's family knelt down and kowtowed to their ancestors, the clan leader registered Shang Yuanshan's family in the Shang family genealogy. Behind Shang Beichen's page was Shang Beichen's legitimate son Shang Yuanshan, followed by Shang Yuanshan's wife Lin Siqing, Shang Yuanshan's eldest son Shang Yanqing, second son Shang Qing'an, third son Shang Qin'an, and eldest daughter Shang Yangyang. Just as these names were recorded one by one in the Shang family genealogy, a beam of golden light shot into the ancestral hall, but it was only for a moment and did not attract everyone's attention.
After leaving the ancestral hall, it was clear that Duke Shang was smiling happily. He looked at the patriarch of the Shang family. "Uncle San, I'm hosting a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion today. You must come."
"Okay, I will definitely be there on this happy day."
"Then I'll wait for you at the Marquis' Mansion."
The Marquis's Mansion was decorated with lights and colors today. Duke Shang sent invitations to the residences of various officials in the capital. After they came back from the Shang Family Ancestral Hall, they have been busy with the banquet.
Shang Yangyang dragged Yun Shu and Shang Wanyue to sit on the steps opposite the Marquis' Mansion and watched the lively scene in the mansion.
Duke Shang was no longer stern as usual, but was smiling like a peacock. He would say to the visitor: "This is my son Shang Yuanshan. He earned his title of marquis through his own merits."
During this period of time, Duke Shang has said the same words many times.
Shang Yangyang covered her mouth and laughed: "Yunshu, Wanyue, I counted and my grandfather has said this sentence for the twenty-sixth time."
Yun Shu smiled and nodded: "The Duke is really happy."
Shang Wanyue was also in a much better mood due to this atmosphere. She smiled and said, "I am very happy indeed."
"Hehe~" Shang Yangyang smiled evilly and looked towards the door, and saw Shang Yanqing coming out of the house. "Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Shang Yuanshan smiled awkwardly and said, "Your father and I have something to deal with. You accompany your grandfather to welcome the guests at the gate of the mansion."
"good."
Shang Yuanshan ran away and sat opposite Shang Yangyang and the others.
Soon, an embarrassed look appeared on Shang Yanqing's face, because Duke Shang changed his words again. This time, the visitor said, "This is my eldest grandson Shang Yanqing. He passed the imperial examination this year. Isn't that amazing?"
Every guest nodded in agreement and praised Shang Yanqing again for his great achievements at such a young age.
Shang Yangyang looked at Shang Yuanshan beside him and said, "Daddy, you are so bad."
Shang Yuanshan smiled and rubbed Shang Yangyang's head. "Daddy is not bad. I am doing this to satisfy your grandfather. He can't just show off to me. That would be boring."
Shang Yangyang's eyes rolled around, and then he nodded. "That's right, it's good to take turns showing off."
A moment later, Shang Qingan came out of the mansion. "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Shang Yanqing showed a professional fake smile on his face. He smiled and said, "I have some things to take care of. You accompany grandfather to welcome the guests first."
"Okay, big brother, go ahead and do your work. I'll leave this to you."
Shang Yanqing walked towards the group after he finished speaking. "Dad, are you just here to watch the fun?"
Shang Yuanshan smiled awkwardly: "No, no, your dad is not here to watch the fun, I'm here to play with Yangyang and the others."
Shang Yangyang sat aside and grinned: "Sit down, big brother."
"Okay~" Shang Yanqing sat on the stone steps, and Shang Yangyang and her team grew again.
They heard Duke Shang change his words again: "This is my second grandson Shang Qing'an. He is young and promising, with great martial arts skills. Isn't he amazing?"
Shang Yangyang covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She saw her second brother's face flushed and he had the urge to run away.
Not long after, Shang Qi'an and Jiang Peixuan came out of the mansion together. "Second brother, what do you want to see me for?"
Under Shang Qing'an's deception, Shang Qian'an and Jiang Peixuan stayed in front of the mansion gate to accompany Duke Shang, while Shang Qing'an walked towards the direction of the few people.
Then we saw Shang Qian'an and Jiang Peixuan, who were also tapping their toes on the ground in embarrassment.
"This is my grandson Shang Qian'an and his good brother Jiang Peixuan. They both passed the Imperial College at such a young age. Isn't that amazing?"
Shang Qian'an whispered to Jiang Peixuan: "Peixuan, why don't we go and capture Yangyang?"
Jiang Peixuan shook his head. "No, we can't sacrifice Yangyang."
"Alas~" Shang Qian sighed. "Why am I so miserable?"
Duke Shang did not let them feel embarrassed for too long. He strode towards Shang Yangyang and the others. He stepped forward and picked up Shang Yangyang. He then warmly greeted Yunshu and Shang Wanyue, and then looked at Shang Yuanshan and his son. "Come with me quickly to welcome the guests."
"Ah~" Finally, all the family members stood in front of the mansion gate. This time it was really Duke Shang who took turns showing off. He praised this and that.
Until Eunuch Li's voice came: "The Emperor has arrived, the Prince has arrived."
