Gu Li was obviously shocked by Liu's shamelessness. Veins popped out on his hands. "You are talking nonsense! All the property in the mansion was earned by my father and elder brother's meritorious service. What does it have to do with your family?"
As they were arguing, there was a sound of metal coming from the door.
An eight-foot-tall general walked in, glanced coldly at the people in the courtyard, and opened the imperial edict, "By the will of Heaven..."
Everyone in the yard knelt down in a hurry, and Xie Ling followed suit.
Xie Ling couldn't understand the jumble of classical Chinese that was being spoken, but the general meaning was that Gu Wei's crime was severe and the entire Duke's Mansion would be exiled with him, including the second wife and other side branches of the family.
It can be seen how angry the emperor was.
His Majesty is in poor health, sensitive and irritable, and he hates the princes and ministers forming cliques for personal gain the most.
On the day of Gu Wei's wedding, the Shangshu Lang who came to deliver gifts "accidentally" discovered the letters between him and the Sixth Prince.
The emperor was furious and, not caring that Gu Wei was a living dead, ordered the entire family's property to be confiscated and exiled to Lingnan.
As for the Sixth Prince, he was exiled to the north.
After the imperial edict was read, Liu collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, pounding the floor and crying, "Oh my God, why didn't this damn Gu Wei get cut into pieces on the battlefield? He brought disaster to my whole family..."
The general who announced the decree was also a veteran of the battlefield. Hearing Liu's words, he was very angry and said to his men, "Catch this long-tongued woman first!"
After the general took Liu away, the servants in the courtyard scattered like birds and beasts, and the courtyard suddenly became deserted.
Gu Li bowed his hands and apologized, "Today, there was an emergency, so I disregarded etiquette and entered my sister-in-law's inner courtyard. I hope my sister-in-law doesn't mind. My mother hasn't woken up yet, so I'm leaving first."
Xie Ling shook her head: "No need to apologize, I still have to thank you."
Looking at the boy's straight spine, Xie Ling couldn't help but sigh that a boy of twelve or thirteen years old could behave so steadily and politely. This Duke's Mansion really has a profound foundation.
Thinking that her house would be searched tomorrow, Xie Ling planned to hide some small gold and silver coins on her body so as not to be left empty-handed and in a passive position.
The dowry was all in her cheap husband's room, and Xie Ling walked in according to her memory.
As soon as I opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in.
The red curtain was lifted, revealing the graceful figure lying on the wedding bed.
Xie Ling walked closer and saw that the man was very young, no more than twenty years old, with a cold and calm appearance, as bright as the moon in the sky, and his facial features were even more handsome and beautiful, which was very captivating.
Crow-feather-like eyelashes cast fan-like shadows, the bridge of the nose is narrow, thin and straight, the lips are very light, like the last stroke of a fine-brush peach blossom painting, gorgeous but not coquettish, the black hair is like satin, which makes the skin look even colder and whiter.
He doesn't look like a young general who has fought in many battles, but more like a handsome and elegant celebrity.
Xie Ling had never seen such a handsome man before, and she couldn't help but touch his porcelain-white face.
“It turns out there are people who are so perfect.”
The moment she touched it, a familiar white light flashed before Xie Ling's eyes, and suddenly a medicine box appeared in her hand!
What's going on?
Shouldn't the medicine box be on the table in the old house?
