Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yun Qianming.
He Ning frowned and said, "Yun Qianming! What nonsense are you spouting? Are you so heartbroken that you've lost your mind?"
Yun Qianming frowned and said very seriously, "I am very clear-headed, absolutely clear-headed!"
Yun Chuwei narrowed her eyes slightly, and with a slight movement of her fingers, she flicked out a silver needle from her fingertip.
The silver needle pierced directly into Yun Qianming's acupoint.
Yun Qianming's expression froze, and he fell straight to the ground.
Yun Mo, who was standing next to him, immediately helped Yun Qianming up.
"Help! Someone, come quick!" Yunmo cried out. "My brother has fainted from grief. Please save him!"
Soon, the butler arrived with his men to help Yun Qianming and take him away.
Having finally found a breakthrough, He Zhiqian and his wife were not about to allow Yun Qianming to be taken out.
They wanted to step forward and stop them.
He Ning waved his hand, summoning guards who stopped He Zhiqian and his wife.
He Zhiqian and his wife looked at He Ning with disbelief.
"He Ning, are you going to have your guards attack us? We are your parents!"
He Ning said coldly, "Since you know you are my parents, you shouldn't have chosen to cause trouble here today!"
He Zhiqian and his wife said unhappily, "We just want your sister's child to be recognized by the family. What's wrong with that? Don't you even care about family ties?"
He Ning looked at He Zhiqian and his wife and said, "Why didn't my sister want to marry into the Cui family as you arranged? Because she had someone she loved, and she eloped with him! When she eloped, she left me a letter. Should I show it to everyone now?"
Upon hearing this, He An's face turned extremely grim.
She did leave a letter for He Ning when she ran away from the wedding.
But why did Xin Hening stay until now?
He Zhiqian and his wife also looked very unhappy.
They never expected that He Ning would reveal this.
He Ning continued, "He An only returned to the capital a few years ago, right? She wrote me a letter then, saying her husband had died and she wanted to come back! Now she's saying these children are my husband's, which is full of holes. Yun Lianhua might not even be my husband's bloodline, right? My sister is only saying they're my husband's bloodline to trick my husband and me into raising her children, isn't she?"
He Zhiqian and his wife were speechless for a moment after hearing this.
Cui Yuetuan was also secretly surprised. She whispered to Yun Chuwei, "I didn't expect your mother to be such a capable person!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's good to be strong! Otherwise, you'll get bullied!"
While He Ning was speaking, the butler had already led people away to take Yun Qianming away.
Seeing this, Madam Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Madam Yun was about to report the incident to the authorities and expel the person, Xie Sheng unexpectedly arrived.
Everyone bowed to Xie Sheng upon seeing him.
Yun Chuwei and Cui Yuetuan were naturally among them.
After finishing the greeting, Cui Yuetuan approached Yun Chuwei and said with obvious disgust, "Why is he here?"
Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised. She turned her head to look at Cui Yuetuan and said in a low voice, "Take off that look of disgust. He is, after all, the Crown Prince!"
Cui Yuetuan said with great disgust: "It's precisely because he's the crown prince and often does disgusting things that he's even more repulsive."
Cui Yuetuan has investigated. Last time, when Yun Qianming wanted to kill her, he used her corpse to impersonate someone else. His Highness the Crown Prince was the mastermind.
To find a scapegoat for Yun Lianhua, they had to trick her into killing her, which is disgusting.
As the two were talking, Xie Sheng spoke up.
"When Lord Yun was still alive, he wrote a memorial to me, saying that Luo Jifeng was his son and that he hoped I would take Luo Jifeng with me so that I could teach him."
Xie Sheng held up a folded document so that everyone could see it.
Xie Sheng continued, "This is the memorial, therefore, I can testify that Luo Jifeng is indeed the son of Marquis Yun!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.
Madam Yun and He Ning's expressions changed slightly.
He Zhiqian and his wife were overjoyed.
The two men quickly pulled He An and the others to their feet, saying, "An'er, now that His Highness the Crown Prince is your witness, no one is stopping you from keeping vigil for Lord Yun. You don't need to kneel here anymore!"
Seeing the smug looks on their faces, He Ning's expression turned ugly. She turned to Xie Sheng and said, "How can Your Highness be so sure that my husband wasn't deceived by He An?"
Xie Sheng confidently said, "It's very simple. Lord Yun mentioned in his memorial that He An ran away from the wedding because of him. They truly love each other, but they didn't want to hurt you, so they had He An pretend to elope. The reason they kept it from you was also for your own good! Madam Yun shouldn't blame them, right?"
He Ning was so angry that his hands were trembling slightly.
She never expected Yun Xian to be so shameless as to tell the Crown Prince about these things.
Yun Chuwei reached out and supported He Ning, squeezing the back of her hand to comfort her!
Xie Sheng was displeased to see that Yun Chuwei remained calm.
He sneered and said, "Now, no one can stop them from entering the Marquis's residence, right?"
Upon hearing this, He An led Yun Lianhua and Luo Jifeng toward the Marquis's residence.
Yun Chuwei suddenly intervened and stopped the person.
She said slowly, "What's the rush? Perhaps someone can actually stop them, who knows!"
Xie Sheng was somewhat annoyed and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a loud shout.
"Imperial edict has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down.
Only Yun Chuwei was still standing.
Huo Qingjue took the imperial edict and handed it directly to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei unfolded the imperial edict and said, word by word: "Imperial decree: Yun Xian's crimes are unforgivable, he is demoted to a commoner and is not allowed to be buried in the Marquis's ancestral mausoleum. His wife, Lady He, and her children shall remain in the Marquis's residence and be pardoned. All other concubines, mistresses, and their children shall be punished the same way, demoted to commoners and never to be employed again! This is the imperial decree!"
After Yun Chuwei finished reading, she took back the imperial edict and returned it to Huo Qingjue.
After hearing the imperial edict and standing up, everyone still felt somewhat dazed.
No one expected things to turn out this way.
Xie Sheng glared at Yun Chuwei and said, "You... Yun Chuwei, you..."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that no one could stop them from entering the Marquis's residence? What about now?"
Xie Sheng's face turned pale and then red, and he couldn't say a word.
Yun Chuwei looked at He An and slowly said, "Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince proved it, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Luo Jifeng was actually Yun Xian's son. But it's a pity that Luo Jifeng will be demoted to a commoner. He will not be able to participate in the imperial examinations and will never be employed!"
Upon hearing this, He An knew that his son's future was over.
She originally thought that even though Yun Xian was gone, she could still live a good life by relying on her son.
Now it seems that even that last hope has vanished.
She rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Mother!" Luo Jifeng exclaimed in shock, quickly embracing the person before hurriedly leaving.
