I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

When Madam Cui and Gao Jincheng were arguing, they did not notice that someone who looked like a servant came in and asked many of the guests to leave.

When the two of them were arguing until their faces turned red and they looked around, they found that many of the guests had left.

Madam Cui gnashed her teeth in anger: "They are all a bunch of dogs who look down on others! Now that they know Cui Shuyan is unwilling to come, they all left! They really don't even care about the slightest bit of kindness!"

"Say less! If you really care about Mingzhu, stop it immediately! You absolutely cannot go to Prince Xie's mansion!"

"Brother, what do you know? If I kneel down at the gate of Prince Xie's mansion, it will be Cui Shuyan who will be anxious. When I meet her, won't I be able to set any conditions I want? I could control her when she was still unmarried, and it's the same now!"

"This matter is not as simple as you think. Princess Xie will never let you control her!"

While the two were talking, many guests left.

This made Gao Jincheng feel something strange.

Logically speaking, even if these people didn't see Princess Xie coming to pay her respects, they shouldn't have left in such a hurry.

At the very least, you should tell your host when you leave.

This is the most basic etiquette.

Moreover, Gao Jincheng noticed that before these guests left, people who looked like servants came up to them and said something.

After hearing this, the guest's face changed drastically, and he left without even coming over to explain to the host.

wrong.

This is not right.

Seeing that Madam Cui was about to leave, Gao Jincheng grabbed her and scolded her, "What are you still making a fuss about? Don't you think something is a little off?"

"What's wrong?"

"Look carefully." Gao Jincheng said, looking at a servant who had just come in.

The servant walked up to one of the guests and whispered something in his ear. The guest then turned pale and walked out.

Gao Jincheng chased after him and asked politely, "Brother Sun, why are you..."

However, before he could finish his words, the man surnamed Sun turned his back and hurried away as if he were some kind of monster.

From this, Gao Jincheng concluded that something must have happened.

Moreover, this matter is closely related to the Cui Mansion.

Otherwise, these people would not behave like this.

Madam Cui sneered at the side and said, "What's so strange about this? Dog eyes look down on people! How can you live in this world with a pair of dog eyes?"

As soon as Mrs. Cui finished speaking, an anxious voice came from outside: "Master, go back home quickly and don't stay here!"

Mrs. Cui looked over and saw Mrs. Gao jogging over, panting.

Seeing this, Madam Cui sneered: "Sister-in-law, you are really my good sister-in-law! My good brother, you should listen to what sister-in-law says and go back home quickly!"

Her words clearly accused Gao Jincheng of having a pair of dog eyes just like those guests who had left!

At that moment, Gao Jincheng didn't bother to argue with her, and just asked Mrs. Gao: "Don't worry, tell me what happened in detail."

"It is said that during the morning court session today, the current Huangzhou County Magistrate Luo Jinyu submitted a letter to His Majesty, stating that Cui Shangjin had extorted money from the people of Huangzhou. After the news of this spread, the people of Huangzhou were in chaos. During the riot, hundreds of people lost their lives. I heard that His Majesty was furious during the morning court session. I'm afraid the Cui family is in danger this time!"

After saying this, Mrs. Gao pulled Gao Jincheng and asked him to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Gao Jincheng was thinking about Madam Cui, so he said anxiously, "Jinhua, take Mingzhu with you and leave with me!"

Mrs. Gao was anxious.

Your Majesty wants to vent his anger on the Cui family, how could Gao Jinhua possibly get away?

Before she could say anything, Madam Cui spoke first: "So what? No matter how big the incident is, Cui Shuyan, as a daughter, should come to pay her respects to her father! Otherwise, it would be unfilial!"

If a person is accused of being unfilial, he is nothing!

Gao Jincheng was about to say something when he saw a large group of people coming to the door.

The leader was holding a whisk, had a pale face and no beard. He was the eunuch who delivered imperial edicts in the palace.

Following behind him was a team of majestic imperial guards.

After the eunuch came, he walked straight to Madam Cui and said in a cold voice, "Madam Cui, why don't you kneel down and accept the decree?"

Mrs. Cui was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, shaking all over.

Not only her, but everyone present had to kneel down when the imperial edict came.

Many guests who did not have time to leave were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be caught in the same disaster.

As everyone was panicking, the eunuch finally unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said in a loud voice: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Cui Shangjin was an unkind official who bullied the people of Huangzhou, causing riots in Huangzhou and more than a hundred deaths and injuries. His crime is unforgivable. Considering that he is already dead, no further punishment will be imposed. However, after Cui Shangjin's death, his body shall not be buried, and no one shall go to pay their respects. In addition, in order to appease the people of Huangzhou, Cui's mansion shall be confiscated, and all the proceeds from the confiscation shall be used for the people of Huangzhou. I decree this."

After reading it, the eunuch who delivered the decree looked at Madam Cui coldly and said, "Madam Cui, please accept the decree."

However, at this moment, Mrs. Cui felt her whole body was weak and she couldn't stand up at all.

"Why, Madam Cui refuses to accept the decree, does she have any objection to the decree of His Majesty?"

"I dare not, I dare not." Gao Jincheng responded repeatedly, helped Mrs. Cui up, and accepted the order.

Before Mrs. Cui could react, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict ordered people to start searching Cui's mansion.

In an instant, the imperial guards divided into several teams and headed to different courtyards of the Cui Mansion.

Seeing this scene, Doctor Cui finally realized what the so-called house search and seizure really meant.

She ran towards her yard like crazy.

There are still a lot of good things in her yard.

During the time that Cui Shangjin had been dead, she had collected all the good things from the concubine's room and placed them there.

These things must not be confiscated.

Otherwise, she will have nothing!

But she ignored the sharpness of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

"Someone, take Madam Cui down!"

In an instant, Madam Cui was pressed to the ground. Not only that, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came forward and pulled off the gold hairpin and hairpin on her head, as well as the plum blossom earrings on her ears.

In an instant, Mrs. Cui's ears became bloody.

Madam Cui was completely confused: "You can confiscate my house if you want, but what are you going to do with my jewelry?"

The eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch sneered, "It seems that Madam Cui still doesn't understand what this confiscation of property means. In this case, let me explain it to you. The so-called confiscation of property means driving people out. As for every blade of grass, every brick, every tile, and even every needle and thread in your Cui Mansion, don't even think about taking them away. And..."

As he spoke, the eunuch delivering the imperial edict's message looked at Madam Cui and chuckled sinisterly.
