After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

He turned and bowed to the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, as a member of the royal family, the Fourth Prince's every move should be a role model for the people. Now, he is hugging and kissing an unmarried woman in public, showing affection and affection. This is extremely unbecoming! Moreover, the Fourth Prince is already engaged to Miss Zhao from the Minister of Rites' residence. To behave like this is disrespectful to the Minister of Rites, Lord Zhao! And to the reputation of the royal family!"

"Your Majesty cannot let the Fourth Prince go unpunished just because he's pretending to be pitiful!"

Emperor Jingyou stroked his forehead. He felt a severe headache when he heard what Censor Chen said. "My dear, I never said I would not hold him accountable for his mistakes."

But he is the fourth son's father after all. What's wrong with me caring about my injured son?

Shen Mingxiu quickly knelt down and admitted his fault, "It's all my fault. I behaved inappropriately that day and brought shame upon my father."

Shen Mingxiu looked heartbroken and full of regret.

Emperor Jingyou sighed, "What is your relationship with that illegitimate daughter?"

Shen Mingxiu's face was filled with regret and anger. "Your son is terrified. There's nothing innocent between you and her. I only know that she's a cousin from the Qingyuan Marquis's mansion. Her father's family was tragically killed, and she and her mother had to live with others at the Qingyuan Marquis' mansion. Her life is truly pitiful. Your son only took extra care of her out of pity for her miserable life."

Censor Chen's eyebrows were raised, and his words were cold and stern. "You are holding it in your arms and still claim to be innocent. Your Highness is truly a silver-tongued man!"

Shen Mingxiu glared at Censor Chen with hatred, "Censor Chen, how did I offend you that you are targeting me like this?"

Censor Chen snorted, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has misunderstood me. Your Majesty, I am speaking the truth. The Duke of Zhenguo and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu were present at the time and saw it all clearly."

Emperor Jingyou glared at his disappointing fourth son, then turned to look at Shen Yanli and said, "Prince Chu, tell me what you have to say."

Shen Yanli said indifferently, "Father, what Censor Chen said is indeed true. I saw it with my own eyes. However, my fourth brother was young and passionate, so his behavior was not careful at the time, which is understandable."

What youthful passion? Didn't Shen Yanli openly say that there was something fishy going on between him and Lu Qianqian? The problem was, he and Lu Qianqian were truly innocent!

He was about to open his mouth to explain when he heard Shen Yanli continue, "This isn't a big deal. If the Fourth Prince likes her, he can take her in as a concubine. It's just that Lu Qianqian's identity is really a bit embarrassing."

Hearing him say this, everyone looked at Qingyuan Hou with disdain.

Yes, Lu Qianqian was the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Qingyuan and a married woman. With such an identity, she was not even worthy of being a concubine for the prince.

Emperor Jingyou couldn't help but glare at Shen Mingxiu angrily.

This fourth brother usually looks like a steady person, so how come he is involved with such a woman?

Shen Yanli continued, "It is obvious to all that Fourth Prince has violated the girl's innocence. As a man, he should take responsibility."

Shen Mingxiu didn't dare to look up. He was afraid that his father would see the vicious look in his eyes, so he could only clench his fists tightly.

Shen Yanli's voice remained calm and indifferent. "In that case, why not send Lu Qianqian to the Zhao Mansion and give her to Miss Zhao as a dowry maid? Miss Zhao is the Fourth Prince's consort, appointed by the Imperial Grandmother and the Emperor, and the future mistress of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. After marrying Fourth Brother, she will either give Lu Qianqian to Fourth Brother as a concubine or as a maid. It all depends on Miss Zhao's wishes. After all, we need to give an explanation to the Zhao Mansion about this matter."

"Father, do you think this is feasible?"

The Emperor looked at Lord Ye thoughtfully, "What do you think, Lord Qingyuan?"

Lord Ye said tremblingly, "It's all up to your Majesty."

The people in the imperial study looked at Lord Ye with even more contempt.

After all, she was his daughter. He sold a decent woman into slavery and as a father he didn't say a word.

The emperor's gaze shifted from Lord Ye to Shen Mingxiu. He thought for a moment and felt that this was the only solution in the current situation, which was the best of both worlds.

"Then let's do as the King of Chu says."

Emperor Jingyou looked at Censor Chen and asked, "What do you think, my dear minister?"

Censor Chen stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty, today I am impeaching the Marquis of Qingyuan and the Fourth Prince."

The implication is that these two people have not been punished yet.

Emperor Jingyou rubbed his brows and said, "Marquis Qingyuan no longer needs to serve. Go back and manage your mansion well. If you do it again, you will no longer be a marquis."

Emperor Jingyou looked at Shen Mingxiu sternly, "Fourth Brother, your behavior this time has greatly disappointed me. Don't leave the palace before the wedding. Reflect on your actions in the palace."

Shen Mingxiu gritted his teeth and thanked him, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your mercy, Father. I will definitely reflect on myself."

Emperor Jingyou looked at Censor Chen coldly, "Are you satisfied with this result, my dear?"

Censor Chen, knowing that he had won, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty is fair and just, and I admire you."

The emperor said impatiently, "The matter has been dealt with. Everyone, please leave immediately. The King of Chu will stay."

The emperor took a sip of tea and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He threw the teacup onto the imperial table with a clang and glared at Shen Yanli. "Tell me, why did you cause all this trouble? Don't say it wasn't you who brought these things to that old bastard Chen Min."

Shen Yanli bowed calmly, "Father, your majesty is wise."

"Shengming, what the hell? You said one is your future father-in-law and the other is your fourth brother. How did they provoke you to get so angry?"

If it weren't for that old man Chen Min jumping around and insisting on this matter, he wouldn't have cared about this mess.

A rare hint of coldness appeared on Shen Yanli's handsome face. "To vent the anger of my son's fiancée."

Emperor Jingyou was stunned. He had heard that Marquis Qingyuan was not very kind to his eldest daughter, but how did the fourth daughter offend Ye Qingyu?

Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and it is not appropriate for him, as a father, to interfere in their affairs.

Emperor Jingyou waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can leave the palace too."

Shen Yanli bowed and left the imperial study.

Ye Qingyu outside the palace had no idea what was happening inside. She had just gotten up and finished her breakfast.

Lu Qianqian didn't know where he got so much energy from. She heard him banging on the door of the wing room early in the morning. Even though her mouth was blocked, she still cried out.

Ye Qingyu felt that her head was filled with some devilish sounds, which were very unfriendly to her ears.

The maids also frowned in annoyance.

"Miss, let me give her a beating. It's so noisy so early in the morning." Mo Shu said irritably.

Wanqiu disagreed, "Let's not do that. After all, she is the Marquis' biological daughter. If something bad happens to her, I won't be able to explain it to the Marquis."

"Then what do you say we should do? He's whining like that, it's really annoying."

Wanqiu looked at her young lady and said, "Let her go back." But she couldn't really beat her to death.

Mo Shu said, "We've already caught him. If we just let him go like this, wouldn't that make us look very embarrassed?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"
