The old patriarch said this while shaking his head and walking out.

He couldn't help but worry in his heart. Could it be that something really happened to Concubine Ning?

Concubines and illegitimate sons don’t matter now. This decree is the most important.

If something really happens, it will be a calamity.

The glory of their Liu family lies in the Marquis' Mansion, and the danger also lies in the Marquis' Mansion.

Everyone in the Marquis of Jingning's mansion knelt obediently at this moment, and the Third Prince then opened the imperial edict.

To be honest, he really didn't want to do this.

After all, he took a look at the imperial edict and found it to be a blatant humiliation.

But, he is a prince, and it was his father who asked him to come in person.

My father is so cruel, he kills people and destroys their hearts.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that Jingning Marquis Liu Hanjun is a man of no moral integrity, favoring his concubine over his wife, and taking his wife's dowry to support his concubine's son.

Such behavior is truly despicable. As a role model for the world, I cannot ignore it, so I issue this edict to warn you.

From now on, Jingning Marquis Liu Hanjun will be stripped of all his official duties, and is not allowed to participate in government affairs or meet the emperor. Considering his ancestors' contributions to the court and the country, his title of marquis will be temporarily retained to see the results. I decree this!"

The third prince looked at Liu Hanjun. His uncle was now covered in cold sweat and trembling all over.

At this moment, the third prince felt helpless. If he had known this would happen, why would he do this?

Everyone in the world knows that what His Majesty hates most is people who favor concubines and neglect their wives.

When my father was a prince, the late emperor doted on the imperial concubine, which almost caused the death of my father and grandmother.

Because of this, although my father did not like the Empress, he respected her very much and appointed her as the Crown Prince very early on.

Oh, this uncle is so confused that he has to make mistakes in this area.

"I accept your order, thank you!"

Liu Hanjun took the imperial edict and his whole body was shaking. He didn't know how to stand up as his legs were weak.

The old lady's body was also crooked and she looked exhausted.

The Third Prince had just recovered, and their mansion finally saw a glimmer of hope. They had never expected that a concubine would almost destroy their mansion.

The old lady turned around and slapped Jiang Rou.

Bitch!

If it weren't for her, how could this result have happened!

After this slap, Zhou Miaoyi felt relieved instantly, but Jiang Rou didn't dare to move.

She never expected that things would develop to this extent. This is only slightly better than a house raid.

What should she do? What should she do?

Does Liu Hanjun still want her? Does he still care about the child?

"Miss, you are so cruel. Are you going to destroy the entire mansion by doing this?"

Jiang Rou immediately turned her head and stared at Liu Rumei with deep hatred in her eyes.

The path she had planned step by step was now completely ruined.

Everyone also looked at Liu Rumei, especially Marquis Jingning, who wished he could kill Liu Rumei.

"Did you do this? You evil creature! I'm going to use the family law to beat you to death today!"

There was murderous intent in Marquis Jingning's eyes, but Liu Rumei did not refute or answer, she just stood there calmly.

Kill her? Okay, she's waiting!

Seeing her like this, Marquis Jingning was very angry.

Is this the attitude of a daughter? Shouldn't she kneel down and beg for mercy at this time?

However, before he could explode, the Third Prince quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Uncle, are you crazy? How can my cousin control what has happened? Besides, everyone in the court knows that you want to send her to the Crown Prince's Mansion!

Now, not only you have been reprimanded, the Crown Prince has also been reprimanded, and the Queen has been confined to the palace. From now on, uncle, you must be nicer to cousin, otherwise the whole court will be watching you!"

Marquis Jingning was frightened to death. All the civil and military officials in the court knew that he wanted to surrender to the prince?

"Has the prince been reprimanded?" Marquis Jingning asked in horror.

"The prince was beaten by the emperor?" Liu Rumei asked expectantly.

The third prince couldn't help but look at Liu Rumei. Although he also suspected what Liu Rumei had done, he still felt that it was impossible.

How could she, a weak woman, do this?

Maybe it's really a coincidence.

Besides, she really doesn't want to marry the prince. Looking at her happy expression, it's almost unbearable to look at her.

"Father will make the final decision. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent."

After hearing what the third prince said, Liu Rumei understood.

The emperor has saved face for the prince externally, but he must not go easy on him internally.

I got beaten, and it was a hard beating!

Thinking of this, Liu Rumei smiled.

That's good, just get beaten up, but the prince is adding insult to injury!

After all her planning, she finally heard some good news.

Moreover, the Third Prince was a smart man. He knew clearly whether the two hundred thousand taels were given to the Crown Prince or to save himself.

Therefore, she doesn't need to do anything now. The old lady and the third prince are her shields.

Sure enough, after hearing what the third prince said, the old lady came to her senses immediately and quickly slapped Jiang Rou a second time.

"Bitch, how dare you slander others! She is the eldest daughter of my mansion, who the hell do you think you are!"

Liu Rumei smiled gently and felt particularly comfortable.

Profits are the most important thing, and she likes to see the enemy being defeated little by little.

Since she dared to let them go, she was naturally confident that she could defeat them. Now their greatest support was gone.

Jiang Rou naturally understood this and immediately lowered her head.

But she still didn't understand how Liu Rumei did it?

The Third Prince and the Old Madam, why did they help her!

"Alas, the Third Prince is still one step ahead of me. I have been trying my best to catch up with him."

Another group of people came to announce the decree, and the Third Prince was very polite to the leader.

Why is Eunuch Wang here?

He is not my father's man, but serves my grandmother.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager thought Liu Rumei was good, so she gave her such respect?

When the imperial edict was finished, Liu Hanjun felt very complicated.

He was reprimanded and even asked to be confined to his home, but his daughter was praised!

Not only was there a commendation, there was even a plaque!

Naturally they had to take over the plaque, and they did not dare to disobey the order.

"My dear girl, the Queen Mother was very moved when she heard about your filial piety, and she specially rewarded you with a string of Buddhist beads."

Liu Rumei was very surprised to hear this, but she did not hesitate. Instead, she walked over obediently and took the box with both hands.

"The Queen Mother also said that since you like Buddhist scriptures, you should study them more. These Buddhist scriptures are given to you by the Queen Mother. Please copy them slowly. When you are done, send someone to tell me that there are more treasures in the Queen Mother's palace."

Liu Rumei never expected that she would receive the protection of the Queen Mother.

These Buddhist beads and Buddhist scriptures are both protection.

I just don't know which great god actually helped me.

"I thank the Queen Mother for her grace. I will pray faithfully for a long and blessed life and a prosperous offspring."

Eunuch Wang laughed when he heard this. This girl was sensible. No wonder Prince Xian went to the palace specially to ask the Queen Mother for Buddhist beads.

But then again, the girl is pretty, and he can report to the Queen Mother when he returns.

Liu Rumei asked Chuntao to deliver a red envelope. The big red envelope was for Eunuch Wang, and there was also an embroidery.

"This is a small screen I made. It has scriptures embroidered on it. I want to present it to the Queen Mother. I hope the Queen Mother will not dislike it."

Liu Rumei suddenly took out a gift, which was really unexpected.

Eunuch Wang secretly thought, isn't the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion too well prepared?
