After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Shaoyang was also a flamboyant and unrestrained person back then, and her admiration for Xiao Yu was obvious. She wished that everyone in Kyoto City knew that Princess Shaoyang had fallen in love with Xiao Yu.

But Xiao Yu is already engaged to Gu Qingshuang, and most people would give up.

However, Shaoyang was the eldest princess and was favored by the late emperor and the empress. She was lawless and there was nothing she couldn't get, including men.

Gu Qingshuang was deliberately pushed into the water. It was obvious that the Gu family had no intention of marrying into the Ye family. The late emperor at that time doted on Shaoyang, and his words and deeds almost meant that he would grant a marriage between Gu Qingshuang and Ye Wencheng. This is how the marriage between the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Qingyuan came about.

The incidents involving these families caused quite a stir at the time, and ordinary people could see that it was Shaoyang who had snatched Gu Qingshuang's fiancé.

Now, Shaoyang still has the nerve to say that he has no grudge against Gu Qingshuang!

Shao Yang's face turned pale, but even at this point, he still held his head high, his face full of pride. "Duke Zhenguo, watch your words. What do you mean by me stealing your daughter's fiancé? She herself lost her innocence and refused to marry Ye Wencheng. Do you expect her to hang herself with a hemp rope? Since the engagement with the Xiao family has been broken off, marriage is irrelevant to us! Xiao Yu and I fell in love at first sight. What's wrong with our mother arranging a marriage for us?"

The Duke of Zhenguo said angrily, "You!"

Ye Qingyu tugged at the Duke of Zhenguo's sleeve, interrupting him. She turned and looked at Shaoyang coldly, "Grand Princess, there's no need to dwell on the past. Your seal was on that letter. Your Highness, are you saying it was stolen? Furthermore, the handwriting on that letter is your own. I'm sure His Majesty would recognize it. Are you also saying someone imitated your handwriting? Then, Your Highness, if you say you were wrongly accused, why did you allow Old Madam Ye to enter the palace despite her threats?"

Shao Yang's face turned purple when Ye Qingyu asked her. She said in panic, "This palace, this palace said that I brought her here because I felt sorry for her. Who was she who begged me for help?"

A creepy smile played on Ye Qingyu's lips. She pulled a stack of papers from her sleeve, looked up, and said loudly to Emperor Jingyou, "Your Majesty, I am the Grand Princess of Shaoyang. Over the years, I have annexed land, forcibly seized farmland from the people to build villas, forced purchases and sales, and killed and injured countless ordinary people. The crimes are too numerous to mention. I beg Your Majesty to personally review them!"

Ye Qingyu dropped the thick stack of papers on the ground, which she couldn't even lift. It was obvious how much stuff was in it.

Eunuch Dequan took the evidence from Ye Qingyu. She then pulled out a stack of confessions and a porcelain bottle from her sleeve. "Your Majesty, these are the confessions of Madam Chen, who served as Madam Ye's assistant, and Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of my mother's shopping, as well as the confessions of everyone involved in my mother's murder. This bottle contains the orchid osmanthus that killed my mother. Princess Shaoyang's letter to Madam Ye also detailed instructions for its use."

"Overdose of osmanthus fragrans causes symptoms similar to those of a cold. This osmanthus fragrans was imported as a tribute from foreign countries and is extremely precious. The only remaining osmanthus fragrans is in the palace. Your Majesty, please send someone to investigate who the osmanthus fragrans was given to. A quick check will reveal the truth."

"These witnesses are waiting outside the palace gates. Your Majesty, please summon them for questioning. I have not lied in any of the cases. The people who were brutally murdered have all reported the crime to the Jingzhao government office. Your Majesty, please summon the prefect to question them."

Shaoyang watched Ye Qingyu produce countless evidences one after another. The fear on her face grew deeper and deeper, and panic and fear were visibly piling up in her eyes.

"Anyone in this palace who says they have a conscience will be believed by the common people. Your Highness said that he felt pity for others. Haha, Your Highness, don't you feel that these two words are too hot to swallow?"

Shao Yang glared at Ye Qingyu fiercely, "Ye Qingyu! How dare you!"

Ye Qingyu raised her head in a cold and arrogant manner, "How can a commoner be as presumptuous as Your Highness!"

"Daqing is your majesty's Daqing, and the people are your majesty's subjects. Your majesty has always loved the people like his own children, and your majesty sympathizes with the people's suffering. Your Highness, as the eldest princess of the royal family, your food, clothing, and daily expenses are all provided by the people, and you treat the people like this! You treat them like grass, burning, killing, and looting at will! Your Highness is the eldest princess of Daqing, but you are also a bandit cancer in Daqing!"

Every word Ye Qingyu spoke was like a poisonous arrow piercing Shaoyang's heart. Her lips were trembling. She wanted to say something, but when she saw the murderous eyes of Emperor Jingyou, she was so frightened that she lost all her strength.

She regretted leaving the house today. If Old Madam Ye had not threatened her to be taken into the palace, she would not have been caught by Ye Qingyu and reported to His Majesty!

No, no, Ye Qingyu came prepared! Otherwise, how could she bring so much evidence into the palace!

She, how did she know that she would enter the palace today?

Shaoyang looked at Ye Qingyu like a devil, and stepped back a long way in fear to stay away from Ye Qingyu.

There was too much evidence for Emperor Jingyou to read through in a short time. However, after just looking at these few pieces, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "Shaoyang! You really brought honor to the royal family!"

"The Jingzhao prefect is here!"

"I'm here!"

"Look at these things. Do you have any records?"

Emperor Jingyou handed the pile of confessions in his hand to Lord Qin, the prefect of Qin Prefecture. Lord Qin took the pile of confessions. Because there were too many of them, he could only put them on the ground and read them one by one at a glance.

"Your Majesty, some of the cases Miss Ye's confessions involve are indeed recorded in Jingzhao Prefecture, but the majority are not even covered by Jingzhao Prefecture. I've discovered that there are many cases that are not in Jingdu, and these also account for a significant number. If we want to investigate them all, it will take more than a day or two to complete."

Qin Fuyin was also shocked by the number of cases here. Although she knew that many cases were indeed committed in the Shaoyang Grand Princess's Mansion, the complaints filed in Jingzhao Prefecture were all about the occupation of farmland, being bought things without paying by the servants of the Princess' Mansion, being beaten, etc., which were not serious matters.

In the city of Kyoto, where powerful people are everywhere, cases of these people exploiting the people are common. Unless there is a major murder, they will usually find a way to suppress it.

These are all things that can be solved by paying compensation, but I didn’t expect that the big cases here were all committed in other places.

Qin Fuyin, who had been dealing with cases for many years, was shocked by what he saw. Princess Shaoyang was really evil. He hadn't finished reading it yet. He quickly glanced at a part of it and saw that there were no less than a dozen people killed.

Emperor Jingyou angrily slammed the imperial table, his face livid. "Shaoyang! What else do you have to quibble about? Do you want me to summon all the people you've harmed to the palace to confront you face to face?"
