My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Upon seeing this, the prince acted decisively and ordered Deng Hengchang and Master Deng to write a letter of apology.

One was derelict in his duty and the other was lax in managing his household.

There will be an imperial examination to select scholars in late June this year. My father has already ordered him to be fully responsible for this matter. This is a big event and there must be no mistakes. The Eastern Palace cannot leave any handle for people to criticize at this time.

The prince himself also came forward to apologize to his father in front of all the civil and military officials during the morning court session, and said with deep sorrow that he was also at fault. He did not take good care of the Yue family on weekdays, which led to this incident. In any case, the Deng family was at fault, and he, the prince, was also responsible.

Since he has made a mistake and is responsible, he should not and will not shirk his responsibilities. Please punish him, father.

After the Crown Prince and the Deng family's father and son apologized, naturally people from their faction spoke out and expressed their opinions.

The prince is well-known for his virtue, and he has always been careful with his words and deeds. His moral integrity is admired by everyone. What does this have to do with the prince? The prince is really too strict with himself.

In any case, since there is no evidence, is it unreasonable to pin the matter on the second son of the Deng family? If this can be used to convict and punish, then where does the law that requires witnesses and physical evidence stand?

Even though the Deng family is wrong, they should be punished according to the circumstances and should not arbitrarily disregard the law.

Naturally, Prince Duan and his group were unwilling to be outdone and they all refuted the argument.

The two sides argued fiercely, but the final result was within the prince's expectations. There was insufficient evidence and some mistakes, but not many.

Considering that the father and son of the Deng family took the initiative to plead guilty, Deng Hengchang was derelict in his duty and was demoted to the position of Chief Secretary of the Dali Temple and fined for half a year; Master Deng was fined for not managing the household properly and was fined for one year and was required to reflect on his mistakes for half a month.

The wife of the Marquis of Wuwei and Miss An ordered the Imperial Hospital to conduct a thorough diagnosis and treatment, and all the necessary expenses were to be borne by the Deng family. The Deng family was ordered to apologize to the wife of the Marquis of Wuwei and Miss An.

The Crown Prince accepted the order and expressed his gratitude, and the Deng family father and son also accepted the order and expressed their gratitude.

All the people in Prince Duan's faction were dissatisfied. They shouted "Long live the emperor" and praised the emperor for his wisdom.

Although Shao Xun and An Xueming were somewhat dissatisfied, they knew that it was good that things had come to this point. Not to mention that there was no evidence, even if there was evidence, in the end at most they would just push the manager of the Deng Mansion as a scapegoat. The emperor had to maintain the dignity of the Eastern Palace, so it was impossible for him to let this matter be openly confirmed.

Precisely because he had already seen through this in his heart, Shao Xun took the initiative from the very beginning. Before the Deng family could react, he killed the three people and left them without any evidence.

Rather than letting the Deng family casually push a housekeeper to take the blame, it would certainly be more profitable to let Deng Hengchang's reputation plummet and his official position be demoted. As for Master Deng, Shao Xun didn't think much about it. If he could help the old guy, he would help him. If he couldn't, it wouldn't be a loss.

Deng Hengchang had only been in the position of Grand Secretary for less than a year. The Deng family and the Crown Prince had planned a lot for this position. Now that he was demoted for dereliction of duty, it would not be easy for him to move up again.

Although the matter was settled, the prince was annoyed at Deng Hengyan's ignorance, but he was more uneasy about his father's attitude.

After court dismissed, the prince requested a private meeting with his father to have a good talk with him, but the emperor asked the eunuch to pass on a message, asking the prince to go back and come back to pay his respects another day.

The prince was panicked, but he didn't dare to ask the eunuch. First, it was a taboo to spy on the emperor's will; second, even if he dared to ask the eunuch, he might not dare to tell him. The prince had no choice but to return to the East Palace in trepidation.

Although he did not vent his anger on the Crown Princess openly, he scolded her for other reasons.

The Crown Princess knew his temper, so she had to swallow her anger, be humble, and accept everything respectfully.

Otherwise, who would take responsibility for the trouble caused by her brothers?

The prince would never understand why the emperor didn't see him.

This matter was the fault of the Deng family. Deng Hengchang and Lord Deng were both at fault, but what was the fault of the prince? He actually stood up and pleaded guilty, and the emperor felt very uncomfortable.

Is he really on the side of the Deng family, his Yue family? Is he also responsible for his brother-in-law's evil deeds?

Or does the prince think his reputation as a virtuous person is not good enough?

At the Deng Mansion, after Master Deng returned, he ordered someone to beat his youngest son with a stick and scolded him.

Mrs. Deng was extremely distressed, with tears in her eyes, and she dared not try to persuade them.

Only after his youngest son was knocked unconscious did he dare to rush over and cry bitterly, and hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial physician to diagnose and prescribe medicine.

Thinking about having to go to the Shao family to apologize, Mrs. Deng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

At this point, the feud between the two families was completely settled.

After seven or eight days of recuperation, An Xiaoqi announced to the public that her skin and flesh had mostly recovered. The brother and sister could not stay here for too long, so Shao Xun sent a carriage with a large number of gifts purchased from the capital, and the brother and sister left the capital in a low-key manner and returned to the northern border.

An Xiaoqi was very reluctant to leave Lin Yulan. She held her hand tightly before leaving, not wanting to let go. "If cousin Xun bullies you, you must write to me and tell me what my parents say about him! Take care, and next time you come, stay longer and spend more time with me."

Lin Yulan was also reluctant to leave her, "Take care, cousin, and have a safe journey. I'll be waiting for you to come back next time."

"Yes, definitely!"

An Xiaoqi smiled. If my cousin's wife was not a good person, I might not come back after I left this time. But if my cousin's wife was easy to get along with, I would definitely come back.

Watching their convoy of brothers and sisters going further and further away, Lin Yulan couldn't help but think back to her previous life.

She had no idea what happened exactly in her previous life, and only heard bits and pieces of information later.

But in the previous life, An Xiaoqi and his sister were unable to return to the northern border, and their lives remained in the capital forever.

Seeing that they were all fine, Lin Yulan realized that with rebirth, many, many things could be changed.

Her fate, and perhaps the fate of the Marquis...

No matter where she and the Marquis go in the future, she always hopes for the best for the Marquis.

"My Lord has sent guards from the Marquis' Mansion to escort you all the way. They have brought quite a few people with them as well. As long as you don't leave the team and run around, you'll be fine. Madam's injuries haven't fully healed yet, so let's go back."

Shao Xun gently embraced Lin Yulan, as if he was treating a fragile glass doll. He said this to both Lin Yulan and the others in the second branch of the Fu family.

After this incident, even the Eastern Palace and the Deng family came to greet the An brothers and sisters. The second branch of the Shao family had to save face and could not be too cold to the An brothers and sisters, so they went out to see them off in an orderly manner.

Otherwise, whether the An brothers and sisters came or left would have nothing to do with them. They would not see them off.

After hearing what Shao Xun said, I felt really disgusted.

Master Shao stared at them coldly and sneered, "The An family is far away and out of reach, but it's a relief. Nephew and niece-in-law should be careful in the future. It's okay if you do something to yourselves, but don't let us get involved."
