Chapter 13, Lao Deng is under house arrest

The old lady almost rolled her eyes and fainted.

How could the emperor know that they wanted to get involved with the fifth princess?

The old lady shouted that she was innocent, but she saw the fifth princess's attendants brought in two maids, one of whom was bitten by a snake.

They! Weren't they solved by Mama Qing?

The old lady's hands and feet were shaking violently.

With two witnesses, no matter how they argued, it would be useless.

"Wan'er, Wan'er, didn't you say you would accompany us to the palace to plead for mercy? Kneel down and plead for mercy."

The old lady pulled Liu Wan's clothes, trying to get her to say a few good words.

As long as she opened her mouth, the fifth princess would no longer care about the matter for her sake.

Liu Wan brushed off the old lady's hand and said, "I said I would accompany you to the palace. As for the emperor's decision, we, as subjects, will obey."

She wanted to beg for mercy, but who told her that Xie Jin'an had a lover before marrying her?

Everyone in the mansion knew about it, except her.

"Your Majesty, my father is now fighting for the country outside, and his life is uncertain. My grandfather also died to save the late emperor. Now, my grandmother is old and confused. If I really wanted to get involved with the fifth princess, I would not jump into the water to save a wet nurse. Your Majesty..."

Xie Jin'an's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is all arranged by me. Jin'an is also unaware. If he knew, he would not jump into the water to save people without seeing clearly. He is a kind-hearted child. If your Majesty wants to punish me, please punish me."

The old lady kowtowed heavily, making a sound.

The emperor pursed his lips tightly. Last time, Xie Jin'an made trouble and was imprisoned, the Marquis' Mansion also used the old Marquis's kindness to say that

his ears were all in a knot.

Now that Marquis Jing'an is away at war, if he executes his mother, then...

After thinking for a moment, the emperor said, "For the sake of the Marquis and the old Marquis, I will spare your life. The royal family is as majestic as the sky. If the Marquis's family dares to provoke, the whole family will be exterminated! Do you understand?"

The old lady was paralyzed, her whole body was shaking like a sieve, and she trembled, "I understand... I understand."

"From today on, you will be confined to the Marquis's Charity Hall and you must not leave until you die!"

"Xie Jin'an will be fined for one year's salary to serve as a warning to others!"

The old lady collapsed to the ground .

Confinement, that means depriving her of her right to be the head of the family?

From now on, the Marquis's family will be under the control of Liu Wan?

She couldn't accept it!

But she was taken away by the eunuchs soon.

Liu Wan stood there holding the baby, terrified.

She is also the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, so it is reasonable for the Emperor to punish her.

[Mother, mother, the Emperor is so fierce, let me see him.]

Little Wanwan was so excited that she was about to jump out of her mother's arms. She stared at the dignified and solemn man on the stage with her big eyes.

Tsk tsk tsk, I haven't seen such a fierce man in a long time, it's really strange.

Having lived for so long, everyone is respectful in front of her, Xia Wanwan, how could she have seen such a fierce man.

The Emperor was obviously stunned.

Did he hear hallucinations?

[Wow, Wanwan hasn't seen such a fierce man in a long time, it's really strange.]

[Why are the wrinkles on his face so deep? I really want to use an iron to iron them out...]

[Hey, he must be unhappy, it's a pity that this dignified and handsome face always has a frown on his face. The

emperor's frown gradually relaxed. Seeing the baby in Liu Wan's arms, he couldn't help but become interested.

It was really interesting that he actually heard the baby talking.

He even said he was handsome!

And the big eyes like black grapes were still looking at him, spitting saliva bubbles and poking with little hands.

Wow, this is a rare little thing.

I'll tell the Queen Mother later! ＷＷw.lΙnＧㄚùＴχτ.nét

"Liu, you have done a great service in saving the Fifth Princess. The Marquis' Mansion will rely on you for support in the future. Don't feel sorry for yourself because others don't value your daughter."

Liu Wan bowed and saluted. "It's not that I don't have a position, but I have to worry about why I am established. I don't feel sorry for myself. I think that when I grow up, I will understand that it is not her responsibility to attract the attention of others. What she should do is to grow up safely and happily. Even if no one values ​​her, she will still respect herself!"

"Okay, it's rare for the Marquis' Mansion to have such a clear-headed person. In consideration of your saving the Fifth Princess, I will confer you the title of a third-rank imperial lady and give you a gold-rimmed jade pendant."

The snow-white jade pendant was inlaid with gold rims, which was a symbol of the royal family's attention.

Liu Wan handed the child to the Fifth Princess and knelt down to take it.

[Great, great, mom is a third-rank official, and dad worked so hard to get only a fifth-rank official. This is going to piss my dad off to death.]

The little guy laughed so hard that his gums showed, and he clapped his hands.

When the emperor heard this, he silently turned his head and looked at the screen beside him.

"Ahem." The emperor winked at the fifth princess.

The fifth princess pointed at herself, looking puzzled.

"Ahem." The emperor coughed even more heavily.

The fifth princess suddenly realized, "Oh, I'll let them have dinner in the palace!"

Liu Wan was confused, and the baby in her arms also looked at the fifth princess.

"It's like this, sister, my wedding with my husband is scheduled for next month, and there are many things I don't understand yet, can you come over and help me take a look?"

The fifth princess smiled innocently.

[Aunt lied, aunt knows a lot, she has been pregnant with a baby for two months, and it's a girl.]

[Uncle did it, it's all uncle's fault!]

Liu Wan was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor also froze in place.

Liu Wan hurriedly took the little guy, bowed and left, and left with the fifth princess.

In the study, the emperor stared at his daughter's back as she walked away, gritting his teeth in anger.

When did the beloved girl he had raised for many years get picked by that kid Liu Ye?

He was kept in the dark for so long!

No wonder his daughter came to him to ask for a marriage, and the wedding date was so urgent.

The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at his sides.

He decided that tomorrow Liu Ye would be expelled for stepping into the Chaoyang Palace with his left foot first!

"Royal brother." A dark figure slowly walked out from behind the screen. The man was tall and cold, with mature and distant eyebrows.

"Ninth brother, I finally understand your feelings." The emperor sighed deeply!

How can I not be angry when my daughter becomes someone else's!

Xia Siheng smiled slightly, "Thank you very much for this time, royal brother, but with Liu Wan's insight, I believe this day will not be too long, and you may not understand me for long."

"You!" The emperor almost vomited blood.

His ninth brother was young, but his words were quite touching.

"By the way, how did you know that they were trying to seduce Zhao'er, and they rescued the two maids? It's really interesting, one released the snake, and the other was bitten by the snake." The emperor asked.

"I happened to see the nanny beside Old Lady Xie taking people to kill them." Xia Siheng raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Tsk, you can fool others, but you still want to fool your brother?" The emperor sneered, not thinking of deceiving the emperor.

Who let his ninth brother have all the soldiers and horses in his hands, and was willing to assist him? As an emperor, he would not bother with children, hehe.

After Xia Siheng left, the emperor took out a bronze mirror from under the table, his eyes shining.

He asked Eunuch Yu who was standing beside him, "Tell me, who is more handsome, the Ninth Prince or me!"

Eunuch Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and silently raised his eyelids, "You are the emperor, how can the Ninth Prince compare with you."

After Liu Wan came out of Yu's study, she wanted to tell the people in the Marquis' Mansion that they didn't have to wait for her.

At the palace gate, she saw the old lady being supported by someone and faintly about to fall.

Xie Jinan looked up at her, his eyes slightly bloodshot, "I didn't expect you to be such a cold-blooded person, Liu Wan, you deliberately exposed the gifts my grandmother sent to everyone, and let the maid carry Xie Huaishan to make my grandmother have a reputation of favoring boys over girls. You have ruined the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, and what have you gained?"

Yes, he worked hard for many years and was promoted to the fifth-rank official position last year. Before he was reused by the emperor, he was fined his salary and his grandmother was confined.

If his father lost the war, he dared not imagine the fate of the Marquis' Mansion.

All of this is Liu Wan's fault!
