Chapter 43 Xiao Yuanhuai Returns to His Ancestors

After a few days of peace and tranquility, news came from the capital that the Third Prince's gang had been captured, including the Prime Minister's Mansion and Duke Liu's Mansion.

Qianqian was still wondering how this could be such a coincidence, until she found out through the system that when the emperor noticed that these families had formed an alliance, he decided to take the opportunity to wipe them out.

Therefore, he pretended to be seriously ill and the crown prince governed the country. It was widely rumored in the capital that the emperor would not live long and the crown prince would succeed to the throne.

The third prince's party thought it was a good opportunity, so they planned a palace coup, but they didn't expect that everything was a trap, and when they forced the emperor to abdicate, they would be caught in one fell swoop.

Therefore, just fifteen days after Xiao Yuanhuai and Qianqian’s wedding, the capital city underwent a huge change.

The Third Prince, Prime Minister Xiao and Duke Liu were no longer in the court. Because of his status as a prince, the Third Prince was only stripped of his title and imprisoned in the prince's palace for life.

The other two families borne all the emperor's wrath, but how much of this was caused by the palace coup and how much was an opportunity to reshuffle the court was unknown to outsiders.

In short, the main culprits of the two governments will be executed in the autumn, and the rest of their family members will be exiled to desolate areas on the border, never to be allowed to return.

At that time, Xiao Yuanchang and Liu Yinyin happened to be engaged. Since Duke Liu was sentenced to death, everyone in the Duke's Mansion disliked his children and used this as an excuse to refuse to accept Liu Yinyin.

The Xiao family is also in a difficult situation. Madam Xiao's mean face is fully exposed. She wants to take advantage of us before we even enter the door. No way.

As a result, Duke Liu's Mansion seized the opportunity and decided to get married now to bring good luck.

Madam Xiao wanted to curse loudly, what the hell, why did they not even look at where they were, they were all in prison. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking, just letting the two families stay next door.

It's so easy to quarrel with them. The manners of the former noble ladies and gentlemen are all gone, and only a bunch of shrews who are as bad as scolding on the street are left.

Xiao Yuanchang was extremely annoyed, but when he saw Liu Yinyin shrinking and trying to please him, and then remembered how she looked down on him a few days ago, he felt refreshed.

Then he thought, this time he was going to the border, his life and death were unpredictable. One thing was that there might not be many good women there. After all, Liu Yinyin was a noble lady from a wealthy family, so he knew her background well. Now the two families were connected by the same fate.

So he stopped Madam Xiao who was still cursing. It was not until today that he knew that his mother could be so vulgar: "Okay, mother, pay attention to your status. Look at what you look like now. How can you be so rude?"

But Madam Xiao looked crazy: "Haha, how shameful, Xiao Yuanchang, I know you look down on your mother and dislike me for not helping you.

But you don't think about it. If you weren't so incompetent, I wouldn't have ended up like this, why would I have to suppress those bitches and do those things that are not worthy of being mentioned.

Thinking back to the past, I was also the daughter of the Qingliu family. How could I be the same as you, the people who are so mean and servile as you? "

This was the first time Xiao Yuanchang was told this by his mother in front of everyone. He couldn't save his face at the moment: "That's enough, mother. Do you know what you are saying? Father will be executed in the autumn. This family will have to rely on me from now on. Do you know that?"

Madam Xiao smiled bitterly when she heard this: "How could I not know that I can't even trust my own husband, let alone a son who always looks down on me. I just hate that my family is also unreliable, hahahaha!"

Seeing that his mother was unable to communicate, Xiao Yuanchang knew that he would be embarrassed if he continued to talk, so he could only confront his grandparents: "Grandpa and grandma, you don't care about it?"

Old Master Xiao laughed sarcastically: "We are old, what can we do? We might die on the way. We are old, so it's better to have some peace and quiet."

Old Mrs. Xiao thought back to the people around her. Most of them were here to accompany her. As for other relatives, it was probably too late for them to refuse their concern. She had lived a decent life, but she didn't expect to see such a scene at the end of her life.

Only at this time did I think of Xiao Yuanhuai who was exiled and Qianqian who was married. I wondered if they had received the news or were implicated. If not, would they be able to save the Xiao family in the future?

As Mrs. Xiao thought about it, a light appeared in her eyes and her spirits lifted. However, she did not expect that she would pass away that night due to such extreme sorrow and joy.

At this time, Xiao Yuanhuai and Lu Qianqian were standing in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion again. In front of them was the secret decree of His Majesty, which said that the affairs in the capital had been settled, and Xiao Yuanhuai was ordered to return to his ancestral home.

Qianqian complained in her heart that their emperor was really nosy, but she didn't want to be exposed by the system.

"When Xiao Yuanhuai provided evidence of the prime minister's treason, the emperor asked him what reward he wanted. He asked for support at the appropriate time. He wanted the Zhennan Palace."

"I can't believe this fairy cat is so ambitious?"

"Not really. Life is not easy. You should have more security for yourself. Besides, host, I still have to support you!"

Qianqian looked strange: "System, I'll give you a chance. Stop the language again and make it clear who is supporting whom?"

"Well, host, you are the one raising your fairy cat!"

That's right. No matter how turbulent the outside world is, Qianqian is free in Tongpan Mansion these days, and she has nothing else to do except arranging her funeral.

As the most important person in her affairs after her death - Xiao Yuanhuai, she put all her efforts into treating him well while he was still alive.

Relying on the fact that there were few people in his family and he had several shops that made money, he gave Xiao Yuanhuai the best food, clothing, and housing.

Not to mention, after being treated like this by Qianqian, she looks even more noble. Now she is simply sparkling when she walks outside, and comes back every day with flowers and handkerchiefs all over her head.

Qianqian was not jealous. She felt a sense of pride as if her own pet was praised by other aunts. In this regard, Xiao Yuanhuai could only sigh helplessly and repeatedly persuade himself that there were still hidden dangers to be eliminated and there was still a long way to go.

Back to the present, after receiving the secret order, Prince Zhennan no longer had any doubts. Moreover, this was only a few days before and after Xiao Yuanhuai's last confession, so Prince Zhennan couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Xiao Yuanhuai.

Even if we take a step back, there is no doubt about Xiao Yuanhuai's identity, and now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has fallen, there is no possibility of offending him. He is also such an outstanding person, it is simply a huge bargain for the Zhennan Palace.

Therefore, I asked someone to come here today just to announce that Xiao Yuanhuai will be arranged to enter the ancestral hall and recognize his ancestors soon.

But now that the two parties have recognized each other, it would be better to move back into the palace.

After the Prince of Zhennan submitted a memorial to the Emperor explaining the whole story and going through the process, and then receiving a reply, he would open the ancestral hall and hold a ceremony to recognize his ancestors and return to his lineage, and also announce to the entire Nanzhou and the world that their Prince of Zhennan's Palace had an heir.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuanhuai didn't react at all, but Qianqian noticed that the eldest master's wife's hands were bleeding. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were bloodshot. At first glance, she looked like a demon.

It's just that the eldest lady has only one son who is destined not to live long, so no one takes her seriously. She is cautious in her words and actions in her daily life, like a fading ink painting. Only Qianqian knows the cause of Xiao Yuanhuai's death in the previous life and pays special attention to this scene.

Xiao Yuanhuai did not reject Prince Zhennan's proposal, and immediately moved into the courtyard they had prepared, and arranged his own people for the people in his own courtyard.

Qianqian felt relieved upon seeing this, but when she returned to her room at night, she still mentioned the eldest lady's strange behavior.

Xiao Yuanhuai was touched. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably only care about his success. However, Qianqian was the only one who always cared about his life and death.

But he died at the hands of this woman in his previous life, so how could he be completely defenseless in this life?

But I didn't expect that there was more than just the first lady in this palace.
