Lady Qi was unaware of the rumors circulating outside.
After the Empress's decree was issued, she was confined to her own small Buddhist shrine to copy the precepts for women.
Apart from the old nanny who has served them for many years, no one else is allowed to be brought along.
The servants outside had all changed to unfamiliar faces. In other words, Lady Qi was under house arrest.
When He Chengshan, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Haiping, learned that he had lost his title as heir apparent and would never have the chance to inherit the Marquis's mansion again, his personality changed drastically.
Violence, malice.
He knelt before the window of Marquis Haiping and served him for three days, receiving only cold treatment in return.
The illegitimate sons who previously dared not raise their heads in front of him now look at him as if he were a joke, which He Chengshan found unbearable.
In the end, even the sight of a bird made him feel that it was mocking him.
He Chengshan nearly went mad, smashing everything in the room, even a teacup was broken.
The servants went in and tidied it up, but tidying it up wasn't enough; they still had to buy new things.
Marquis Haiping had long ago ordered people to keep an eye on He Chengshan, after all, he was his own son, and he still intended to try to save him.
Even without the title of heir apparent, he is still his eldest legitimate son.
She got angry when she learned that He Chengshan had smashed everything in the house.
"You unfilial son, you unfilial son! Since it's already smashed, there's no need to replace it. Let him stay in that bare house."
Let him have a few days of peace and quiet; buying new things will cost money anyway.
The exhilaration of smashing things gave He Chengshan a brief moment of satisfaction, but when he wanted a drink of water, he found that there wasn't even a teacup left in the room.
The servant who used to serve him was replaced with a completely new face, who seemed to possess martial arts skills.
"I want some water," He Chengshan instructed.
Soon, the servant who had just come in to report returned carrying a bamboo tray.
The cup on top is not the fine white porcelain commonly used, but rather a shabby bamboo tube.
The kind without even a single carving.
This made He Chengshan so angry that he almost fainted.
"You dog servant, is this something for me to use?"
"How dare you give me, the young master, those things that only the lowly people of the slums use? It's absolutely outrageous!"
As he spoke, he raised his leg to kick the servant in front of him.
The servant dodged lightly and escaped He Chengshan's attack.
"Young master, please allow me to remind you that you are no longer the heir apparent. The Marquis of Haiping's mansion does not currently have an heir apparent."
Furthermore, the people in the slums don't even have bamboo cups to hold water; they're lucky if they have a chipped earthenware bowl to use.
He had seen infuriating people before, but never anyone this infuriating. He Chengshan almost fainted on the spot.
The servant grabbed him by the collar and gently placed him on the bed.
Yes, it was the bed. Now, apart from the bed in the room, which is intact, we can't even find a decent stool.
"The Marquis has instructed that the young master needs to reflect on himself. What foolish things has he done all these years?"
Only when the young master realizes his mistake can he leave this room.
As for the young mistress and the young master's concubines, the young master need not worry about them; the manor will take good care of them.
Yesterday, the young mistress and all the concubines knelt in the backyard, hoping to come out and see the young master, but the Marquis refused.
The Marquis said that it's not terrible for a person to make a mistake, but it's terrible for them not to know where they went wrong.
Our Marquis's mansion does not tolerate stupid people. The Marquis has given the young master ten days to see how much progress he can make.
I forgot to mention, if you wish to study, young master, I can bring you paper and pens anytime.
However, the young master can no longer tear or damage things whenever he is unhappy.
The Marquis said that if the items are torn or damaged again, he will not provide them to the young master anymore.
