The Xin clan not only failed to get what they wanted as a result of this commotion, but instead most of the people from each family were sent to jail.
But the rest of the people refused to comply.
She ran to the general's mansion every day to cry and attracted many people to watch.
Xin Guoguo was also direct and sent a good talker to set up a storytelling stage beside the gate of the mansion to tell the deeds of the Xin family members in vivid detail.
As long as the people crying outside don't leave, the storytelling will not stop.
In just a few days, the Xin family members no longer dared to make trouble.
Haven’t you seen that now whenever they go out, everyone in their family gets the cold shoulder?
Even buying vegetables is more expensive than others!

The Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
A banquet was held in the palace.
The banquet started in the morning and lasted until the afternoon.
On New Year's Eve, everyone stays up with their families, and the emperor is no exception.
This was the first time Xin Guoguo saw the emperor and empress since coming to this world.
Mu Huang is about 40 years old this year, but he has maintained a very good figure and looks like a handsome uncle with a certain dignity.
If this happened in the future, I wonder how many little girls would be charmed by it!
After all, among the charms of mature men, this one is at the top.
The queen was dressed in an elegant and graceful manner, with a dignified demeanor and a gentle look in her eyes.
The two of them sat at the top, chatting and laughing with the ministers.
Sitting at the front and bottom were the four sons of the Wood Emperor and their families.
At this time, the four men had already walked to the table with wine glasses and were talking with other officials.
Xin Guoguo's seat was arranged behind Princess Rong'an.
As soon as the little boy from Xiazhuang saw Xin Guoguo, he left his mother and sat beside her.
"Sister, sister, your little cutie is here! Long time no see, did you miss me?"
Xin Guoguo pinched the little guy's soft face in amusement: "Sister misses our little cutie so much!"
"Hehe! I miss you too! Look, this is the string of beads my father brought back for me. I gave it to you as a New Year's gift! Look, I have one too. Put it on! This way, everyone will know we're siblings!"
Xin Guoguo looked at the jade and agate beads in the little guy's hand and was stunned for a moment:
Such a valuable thing, can you just give it away like that?
She subconsciously looked at the eldest princess.
Princess Rong'an had already known her son's plan. She just smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that Xin Guoguo should accept it.
Xin Guoguo retracted her gaze and reached out: "Then could our little cutie please help me put it on, okay?"
The little guy was even happier.
He immediately came over and carefully helped Xin Guoguo string the beads around her wrist.
After putting on the beads, she held her sister's hand and looked at it for a long time: "Sister's hands are so white, this bead necklace looks even better on her hands!"
"Our little cutie is white too! She looks great in it!"
The brother and sister kept praising each other, and the people sitting next to them couldn't help laughing. They just thought that the brother and sister were really funny.
Someone from the Duke of Qing’s Mansion also came.
The ones who came were Duke Qing, his wife, Mrs. Mo, and their eldest son.
As for the people from the second and third houses, they held no official positions, no titles, and had not been specially invited, so they were not qualified to attend the banquet.
At this moment, Duke Qing was sitting solemnly, talking to the eldest prince.
Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Xia got together and talked about the popular gadgets in the capital these days.
Brother Shen had already gathered with his equally young colleagues, arguing excitedly.
Song and dance music.
The entire hall was filled with peace and bustle.
After noon, the banquet ended with the meal.
Princess Rong'an was inviting Xin Guoguo to the princess's mansion when she saw Eunuch Quan coming over.
Eunuch Quan was the chief eunuch around the emperor, and he had some face even in front of Princess Rong'an.
"Why is Eunuch Quan here?"
Princess Rong'an spoke to him with a smile, and her tone sounded somewhat familiar.
Eunuch Quan bowed to the two and said, "This old servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Young Princess, and Miss Xin. Your Majesty has sent this old servant here. Please, Miss Xin, stay a moment."
"It's Chinese New Year, is Your Majesty planning to give Guoguo some New Year's money? If so, I have to go and ask for some congratulations!"
Princess Rong'an is now becoming more and more fond of this future adopted daughter.
This palace is a den of dragons and tigers.
Although it was the emperor who invited the person, she was still worried.
They were all shrewd people, and Eunuch Quan understood what she meant and smiled: "Your Highness, please."
This attitude has already made it clear that the emperor has no ill intentions.
Rong An breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and pulled Xin Guoguo:
"Come on, let's go ask your uncle for New Year's money!"
At this moment, the emperor was not in the front court, but in the queen's palace.
The emperor and empress sat together, looking like elders from an ordinary family.
The eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the third princess also gathered around the two of them and made fun of them.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Meet the eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the third princess."
Several people were brought in and saluted one by one.
The Emperor of Wood waved his hand and said, "We are all family here. There is no need to be so polite, my sister. Come and sit down."
Rong An smiled, bent his knees, and sat down: "Etiquette cannot be abolished."
Although she and the Wood Emperor are siblings from the same mother, the most taboo thing between a monarch and his subjects is not to be clear about their own identities.
One of the reasons why she has always been honored and respected by the Wood Emperor is that she can see the situation clearly and is willing to give up power.
Mu Huang was helpless, knowing that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
