No, that's absolutely impossible!
She must be the general's concubine, just like her seductive mother. There's no way she could possibly be pregnant with the emperor's child! Absolutely impossible!
Unlike the mother and daughter who were deceiving themselves and unwilling to believe, the county magistrate felt as if a huge pie in the sky had hit him when he heard this.
His daughter is pregnant?
He is the child of the emperor!
Wouldn’t that mean he would become the emperor’s father-in-law?
He was just a small county magistrate, how could he have the ability to become a member of the royal family one day!
Haha...what great general, Marquis of Pingyang, can any official be greater than the emperor?
Gong Liangxiu is such a sharp person, how could he not notice the changes in the eyes of these three people?
At this moment, he didn't need to guess at all. He only needed to look at them to know what they were thinking.
Gong Liangxiu sneered.
Do you think this is the final outcome? Impossible! He will definitely make them wish they were dead, but unable to live!
Get a taste of despair.
"How dare you! A mere ninth-rank county magistrate harbors evil intentions and plots to murder the imperial heir. He deserves death!
From today on, the case will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice and will be heard in court on a later date. I will make sure to confess every detail of your family's abuse of Dai'er over the years."
People like the county magistrate's wife and the vicious elder sister will never have any remorse unless they experience the pain of their own bodies and hair.
"If you conceal anything... you will be beheaded on the spot!"
A hint of coldness appeared on Gong Liangxiu's lips. This kind of treatment was relatively easy for the mother and daughter!
After all, they are Qingdai's family. If he executes them directly, it would be difficult to give an explanation to the court officials, and it would also ruin Qingdai's reputation.
But if he just wanted to save their lives and torture them, Gong Liangxiu had a million ways to make them unable to live or die.
The mother and daughter used Qingdai as a stepping stone to climb up and marry into a wealthy family.
Of course he wouldn't kill them so easily.
He would banish them to slavery, so that they would never be able to hold their heads up high and would never get the wealth and glory they wanted!
"Take them all away!"
The Jinyiwei were nimble and quick, quickly covering the mouths of the county magistrate's wife and Qingwu and taking them away without them making a sound.
The two men's eyes widened, revealing their unwillingness.
But they didn't know that their nightmare had just begun.
…
The county magistrate was still dreaming of being a royal relative when his wife and daughter were taken away unexpectedly.
He raised his head cautiously to see the emperor's stern expression and said tentatively:
"Your Majesty... Your daughter is still lying inside. Could you please allow me to go in and see her?"
