After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

"Go search for me."

Prince Zhuang didn't care about Lord Ye's expression and directly ordered people to search for the jade Buddha.

After a while, the jade Buddha was found.

"Lord Ye, look at this! This is the evidence! How dare you say this person didn't do it?"

Lord Ye was also shocked. He never expected that Ye Shuwen would dare to steal things and even rob this little devil.

"Shuwen, what's going on?"

Ye Shuwen said tremblingly, "Uncle, I don't have it. I just want to buy it from them."

"Yeah, we refused to sell it, but you relied on your numbers to snatch it away by force!"

"me……"

With the evidence right in front of him, Ye Shuwen couldn't argue no matter how hard he tried.

Marquis Ye glared at him with a look of dismay, then smiled humbly at the Crown Prince of Zhuang and said, "Your Highness, Shuwen is a relative of mine. He's new to Kyoto and doesn't know the rules here. I hope you can forgive him this time, considering that ignorance is not a crime. You can beat him or scold him if you want. This jade Buddha is yours, so I'll return it to you. Can I also compensate you with ten thousand taels of silver?"

Shen Junchen was so angry at Lord Ye's words that he laughed, "Lord Ye, do you think I'm a beggar who can be easily dismissed?"

Lord Ye explained in a panic, "Your Highness has misunderstood. This humble official did not mean that."

"Then what do you mean! You stole my things and you want to send me away with silver, Lord Ye, who do you think I am?"

"The Jade Buddha was a gift I bought for the Empress Dowager. This bastard dared to snatch it. He's committing a serious crime of offending the royal family. You're done for by saying you don't know the rules. What a good idea!"

This is the Empress Dowager's stuff!

This, this is a big mistake!

Lord Ye knelt down and said helplessly, "I hope the prince will show mercy. As long as Shuwen can be spared, the Marquisate will agree to anything the prince asks."

"Prince, please spare my life. I was blind and didn't know that it was yours. It's all my fault. I deserve to die!" Ye Shuwen slapped himself.

The old lady also knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "My Lord, please spare Shuwen. He is still an ignorant child."

Shen Junchen looked at these people crying and wailing as if he was an unforgivable evil man. He was the victim.

He snorted coldly, his handsome face filled with anger, "It's no use crying. If you offend this prince, don't expect to get away with it. Come, take him to the government office."

The old lady knelt at Zhuang Junchen's feet, grabbed his clothes, and cried, begging for mercy, "Prince, please don't do this. Please spare him. He really doesn't recognize that he is your man. If he knew, he would definitely not have the slightest disrespectful thought."

The Duke was furious and taunted, "Humph, this is the heir you chose. Not only does he pretend to be grateful for the favor, but as a scholar, he even dares to rob others of their property. What a good character!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Junchen sneered, "Oh, this is the future heir of the Qingyuan Marquis's mansion? Qingyuan Marquis, are you blind? You chose this idiot instead of a prodigy like Ye Yanzhi. Aren't you afraid that your Ye family's ancestors will come out of the underground and beat you up?"

Shen Junchen looked at the kneeling person as if he was watching a joke, and he was really enlightened.

Even a playboy like him knows Ye Yanzhi's abilities. Anyone can see who can help the family move forward. Marquis Qingyuan has no son, so he would naturally choose an excellent heir. Who would choose someone who is nothing?

Shen Junchen suddenly had an idea, "Duke Zhenguo, what do you think I should do?"

The Duke was stunned, not knowing why this little devil asked him that.

"Father-in-law, please ask the prince for mercy. Shuwen is still a child. He made the mistake unintentionally."

"My dear relatives, please help Shuwen. Shuwen was just confused for a moment. He still has to take the imperial examination. He has a bright future. Qingyu, please persuade your grandfather." The old lady didn't care about her face or her dignity for the sake of her own grandson.

"This..." The Duke didn't know how to answer.

Ye Qingyu whispered beside him, "Grandfather, Ye Shuwen can't die yet."

This matter is neither big nor small, it just depends on how Shen Junchen wants to vent his anger.

He just bought the jade Buddha casually. He was just using the Empress Dowager's influence as an excuse. The Empress Dowager loved him, so naturally she wouldn't say anything.

"You can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living." The Duke said lightly.

Shen Junchen's anger had almost dissipated. Although he was a playboy, he rarely took lives and only fought.

"In that case, I will obey the Duke of Zhenguo. Come, give me fifty lashes."

The old lady wanted to say something, but Lord Ye covered her mouth.

It is better to suffer some physical pain than to die.

"Marquis Qingyuan, since you are willing to make amends to me for his mistake, then please take 50,000 taels of silver. I will be magnanimous and let this matter go."

"Fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Shen Junchen raised his eyebrows, "Why, no?"

How could Lord Ye dare to say no? He quickly shook his head and said, "No, I will prepare it and send every penny of silver to the palace."

Shen Junchen nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, I will leave first. You two, go back after you are beaten."

Shen Junchen left with his servants and guards.

The Duke was too lazy to look at this mess, so Ye Qingyu and the second wife sent him to the carriage and left.

Watching the Duke leave, Ye Yanzhi looked at Ye Qingyu thoughtfully and said lightly, "What a big drama, isn't it, cousin."

Ye Qingyu smiled gently, "I don't understand what my eldest cousin said."

Ye Qingya couldn't help but speak, shaking her little head. "I don't understand either. Ye Shuwen doesn't seem to be a good person at first glance. Even if my uncle is wary of our second branch, doesn't we still have my second cousin from my third uncle's family? My uncle was willing to offend the Duke's Mansion to adopt Ye Shuwen. What did he see in Ye Shuwen?"

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly, her voice soft and pleasant, as if carrying some kind of magic. "Yes, his conduct is not good, and his talent is questionable. Obviously, Lord Ye is not interested in Ye Shuwen's talent and character. So what else is there that makes Lord Ye and the old lady rack their brains to adopt him as the heir of the Marquisate? Qingya is so smart, why not guess?"

"Ah, why? How can I guess this? Uncle must have been drugged by Ye Shuwen." Ye Qingya looked like she was racking her brains to think.

Ye Qingyu looked at her second uncle and eldest cousin. Their eyes looked at her with shock and understanding. Ye Qingyu smiled slightly and spoke to Ye Qingya in a low voice again.
