Jiang Yisong's expression suddenly changed. "Why would His Royal Highness Prince An be punished?"
Servant: "The people promoted by His Royal Highness Prince An embezzled disaster relief funds. The Emperor was furious and dismissed them from their posts and imprisoned them. He also punished Prince An by suspending him from his duties and confining him to his house for a month."
Prince An was punished, but the emperor has yet to punish Marquis Anguo. Is it true that he will not investigate? Is Marquis Anguo innocent?
Jiang Yisong had a gloomy face and remained silent for a long time.
He doesn't believe it.
Prince An is the son of Emperor Jinde. It would be embarrassing for a father to see his son being beaten. As a father himself, he naturally understands this feeling.
If someone scolded or beat his son, he would never forgive that person.
Perhaps the emperor is too busy to deal with Marquis Anguo for the time being. There will be news after a while.
Jiang Yisong was waiting for news, and so were the other people in the mansion, all of them were worried.
Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Shuning came to Huajianju.
"Jiang Qingyao, are you still sitting here? Do you really think that Marquis Anguo will not have to bear any consequences if he beats His Royal Highness Prince An?" Jiang Yunxue said with hatred.
If there hadn't been someone guarding outside Huajianju, the people from Ningyuanbo's Mansion would have rushed in and torn the culprit into pieces.
Jiang Shuning frowned, her expression solemn. "You're so selfish! You're trying to kill all of us. If you had just obeyed His Royal Highness Prince An, we wouldn't have to live in fear all day, worrying about the disaster."
Jiang Qingyao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Since you two are so protective of His Highness Prince An, why don't you just go to Prince An's mansion and become concubines together? It would be an honor for you two sisters to share the same husband, wouldn't it?"
Jiang Yunxue choked.
She wanted to be a concubine in Prince An's mansion, but she didn't want to share a husband with Jiang Shuning.
Jiang Shuning was furious and said, "Jiang Qingyao, you can only be tough now. Soon you won't be able to laugh anymore."
Even if the emperor is merciful and forgives Marquis Anguo, he will not let her go as she seduced Prince An and caused him to be beaten.
Jiang Qingyao didn't want to waste words with them and patted the whip at her waist. "You want to be whipped? It's much easier to whip you than to whip Prince An."
Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Shuning recalled the scene of Prince An being whipped. It was so horrible that they felt afraid. They left in anger.
Another day passed, and the outside world was still calm, and nothing happened in the Anguo Marquis Mansion.
The people guarding outside Huajianju retreated.
Chu Lu came in and announced, "Miss, the Marquis has arrived, and the carriage is parked at the side door."
Jiang Qingyao got up and went out. She found that Marquis Anguo seemed to particularly like to go through the side door.
But the side door is close to Huajianju!
She'll be there in a moment.
The Marquis of Anguo was wearing a golden robe embroidered with python patterns and a jade belt around his waist.
The dragon robe and jade belt are extremely noble.
However, the dragon robe is also quite particular. Only the prince can wear the golden color. Logically, the Marquis of Anguo should wear a stone blue dragon robe.
Since he wore it, there is only one possibility, that is, it is the imperial dragon robe and court dress, a special favor from the emperor.
He had just beaten someone's son, and yet he dared to wear the dragon robe bestowed by the emperor. Marquis Anguo was even more arrogant than she thought.
Jiang Qingyao was very curious and asked, "What method did the Marquis use? His Majesty didn't blame him?"
He Zheng said in a normal tone, "Your Majesty is wise and insightful, perceptive and able to distinguish right from wrong. Naturally, he won't criticize me."
Whether she believed it or not, Jiang Qingyao still said "hmm" out of courtesy.
She changed the subject, "I had a dream last night."
He Zheng: "Nightmare?"
Jiang Qingyao chuckled: "Sweet dream, in the dream I was beating Prince An the whole time."
“…”
He Zheng was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked, "You keep dreaming about him?"
Jiang Qingyao was choked by this question. The Marquis of Anguo's focus was a bit off. Was this the point? The point was to beat him!
Seeing that her eyes were brighter than usual, He Zheng asked calmly, "Are you happy?"
This time Jiang Qingyao could continue, her eyes dancing with joy, "Happy, so happy."
He Zheng's eyes changed slightly.
She is really easy to please.
Maybe it would make her happier?
They didn't stay long. After chatting for a while, He Zheng went home.
Jiang Qingyao thought that Marquis Anguo came here to reassure her because he was worried that she was anxious.
It did clear up her confusion, and at least she knew His Majesty's attitude, which was not to punish her.
Jiang Qingyao felt relieved, but the people in Ning Yuanbo's mansion were still suffering.
Jiang Xize, Jiang Huanming, Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Shuning couldn't sit still and went to find Jiang Yisong together.
As the eldest son, Jiang Xize felt it was his responsibility to remind his father, "Father, Jiang Qingyao has offended His Royal Highness Prince An. This will definitely implicate the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion in the future. Please kick Jiang Qingyao out of the family tree."
It was a rare occasion for Jiang Huanming to agree with Jiang Xize. "Jiang Qingyao is a criminal of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. We should immediately invite the elders over to remove her from the family tree and sever all ties."
"Yes, otherwise it will affect my younger brothers' career prospects in the future, and it will be difficult for my sister Shuning and I to marry into a good family." Jiang Yunxue gave Jiang Shuning a look.
Jiang Shuning quickly echoed, "Jiang Qingyao has disturbed the peace of our family. If she isn't removed, she'll be a disaster. I beg Father to make a decision!"
What his sons and daughters said were Jiang Yisong’s true feelings, and he felt the same way.
"Okay, for the sake of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, she won't be tolerated."
In all these years, Jiang Qingyao is the first legitimate daughter to be kicked out of the family tree.
Jiang Yisong was extremely quick. He called in the elders and witnesses and crossed out Jiang Qingyao's name in front of everyone.
In addition, a document of severing relations was issued in two copies, one kept by the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion and the other given to Jiang Qingyao.
The Ningyuan Marquis' family stood opposite Jiang Qingyao, clearly separated.
Jiang Yisong said coldly: "From now on, you are no longer the eldest daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. You are just a stray dog."
Homeless and extremely pitiful.
Madam Jiang's dejected look disappeared, and she clapped her hands, "Okay, okay, okay."
Finally, I got rid of this disaster and felt relieved.
Even if His Royal Highness Prince An pursues the matter in the future, they will have reasons to plead for mercy, and all the consequences will be borne by Jiang Qingyao alone.
I thought Jiang Qingyao would look sad and about to cry, but she just looked at the document again and again.
Suddenly he raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and said happily, "I am a free man now?"
Zhitao: "Great, Miss, you are free."
Ning: "What Ningyuan Marquis's eldest daughter? I don't care about that."
Old Madam Jiang's face looked grim, and she felt choked with anger.
She raised her cane and said, "Get out! Get out!"
At this moment, a loud and sharp voice came out——
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
The person who came was a eunuch from the palace. He said that the emperor summoned Jiang Qingyao and asked her to come to the palace to meet him immediately.
Everyone in the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion was shocked and dazed.
What? Jiang Qingyao is going to the palace to meet the emperor?
Jiang Qingyao was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she followed the eunuch.
Xu was puzzled: "Is this the Emperor starting to settle accounts with Jiang Qingyao's crimes?"
Aunt Su patted her chest and said, "The Emperor must have called her into the palace to question her and settle accounts. Fortunately, we have severed ties with her."
Jiang Yisong was silent.
This sudden summons caught him off guard.
There was a vague sense of unease in my heart.
