Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 97 Clear rewards and punishments

Xie Qingyao pretended to be the eldest daughter of the Marquisate and even wanted to forge an imperial edict?!

Deshun's words not only wiped out all the color from Xie Qingyao's face, but also shocked the other people in the Marquis' Mansion!

Xie Qingyao looked at Old Madam Xie for help. Old Madam Xie frowned slightly and looked at Xie Jingyuan, signaling her with her eyes to ask what was going on.

Xie Jingyuan licked his dry lips, a smile on his face, and said cautiously: "Eunuch, Yao'er is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, why are you..."

Deshun glared at Xie Jingyuan and said calmly, "As far as I know, the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion is the lost and found daughter of the Marquis's wife, not some random person!"

Xie Jingyuan wanted to say something else, but Deshun had already placed Jiang Muxue and Xie Qingli in the front row of the team. He nodded with satisfaction and then took out two bright yellow imperial edicts.

Seeing the imperial edict was like seeing the emperor, and everyone knelt on the ground.

Deshun said to Xie Qingli gently, "Miss, this imperial edict is for you!"

Then, his shrill voice rang out: "I hereby declare: You, the eldest daughter of Xie Jingyuan, Marquis of Jing'an, are of a distinguished family, gentle in disposition, yet you were unfortunately separated and separated in childhood, and were left stranded and covered in weeds. Fortunately, you have returned to Hepu today, and have recognized your ancestors. I am deeply pleased to present you with a pair of jade ruyi and a sapphire-blue hairpin with kingfisher feathers... I admire you!"

Emperor Yingtian bestowed more than a dozen pieces of jewelry as rewards, all of which were extraordinary items. Moreover, the most important thing was the imperial edict's recognition of Xie Qingli's identity!

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was filled with jealousy. Why did the Emperor reward Xie Qingli? Could it be that the Jiang family had intervened?

Jiang Muxue was confused. She knew that the Jiang family would not ask the emperor for help for such a matter. She was very nervous and didn't know what the emperor was up to this time!

Xie Qingli's face remained calm as he stepped forward to receive the decree and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

She knew it wasn't the Jiang family, it must be Chu Yuncang who did something. She felt a little grateful in her heart, and secretly decided that she would not let Chu Yuncang suffer so much next time during the medicinal bath!

After reading Xie Qingli's imperial edict, Deshun glanced coldly at Xie Jingyuan and Qin Bitong, and said in a deep voice: "My Lord, this imperial edict is yours!"

The beautiful dream that Xie Jingyuan had just woven was shattered. He really couldn't guess what would be written in the imperial edict. He felt very heavy and had a very bad premonition.

Deshun had already opened the imperial edict and read aloud, "This imperial edict says: Xie Jingyuan, Marquis of Jing'an, has been complacent and unproductive in his public duties, lacking ambition and ambition. He has also broken his promises, behaved immorally, and violated the ways of a gentleman. Therefore, I hereby demote you by half a rank and fine you one year's salary. I hope you will sincerely repent in the future. I beseech you!"

Xie Jingyuan knelt on the ground, taking the imperial edict with trembling hands. He didn't expect it was an imperial edict scolding him. When did the emperor become so gossipy!!!

The Xie family, who had been so proud of the event, fell into an unusual silence, not daring to breathe. Their extravagant clothes seemed to become the most ruthless mockery!

After reading the imperial edict, Deshun glanced coldly at everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, and his gaze moved to the trembling Xie Jingyuan, remembering what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had instructed.

Today, when he came out of the Imperial Study, he ran into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who warned him, "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an has returned to the capital for many days, but she is still not recorded in the family tree. Please remember to remind Master Xie!"

Deshun naturally agreed to this matter. At that time, he felt quite emotional in his heart. The little baby who was like a milk ball has now grown up and started to protect others from wind and rain!

Deshun stared at Xie Jingyuan and said coldly, "My Lord, I heard that the eldest daughter has been back for so many days, but she still hasn't been recorded in the family tree! Now that the emperor's decree has been issued, my Lord, it would be best for you to complete it as soon as possible!"

Xie Jingyuan replied tremblingly, "Yes, your Excellency is absolutely right! I will definitely record Li'er in the family tree as soon as possible."

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not move. Xie Qingli helped Jiang Muxue to slowly stand up.

Jiang Muxue took two steps forward and bowed to Deshun, "Thank you, sir!" She handed over a purse discreetly. She had prepared a few before leaving, and she hadn't expected them to come in handy.

Xie Qingli also presented his purses to the other four young eunuchs one by one.

Deshun received the red envelope and felt even happier. He thanked with a smile on his face.

Xie Jingyuan finally came back to his senses. He was in an extremely depressed mood and slowly helped Old Madam Xie to stand up. Seeing this, the others also got up and respectfully escorted De Shun and others out of the Marquis' Mansion.

The palace carriage had already rolled away, but everyone in the marquis's mansion was still standing at the gate, none of them had recovered from their shock.

……

That night, Songhe Hall.

Madam Xie's face was gloomy. She sat upright on the couch and said angrily, "The Emperor suddenly issued such an imperial decree. It must be the Jiang family who is interfering!"

Xie Jingyuan's face was ashen, as if he had aged ten years in a single day. He shook his head helplessly and said dejectedly, "Mother, now is not the time to argue about this. The most important thing right now is what to do with Tong'er. I think we should send them away as soon as possible!"

He felt very regretful. He shouldn't have been so high-profile when he brought the person back that day. It turned out that everyone in Shengjing City knew about it!

When Mrs. Xie mentioned Qin Bitong, she thought of her unborn grandson. She said reluctantly, "If I send Tong'er away, what if something happens to the baby in her belly? How can I live like this?"

Xie Jingyuan was also reluctant to leave Qin Bitong, but his career and the future of the Marquisate were more important. He said in a deep voice, "Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take Tong'er and her daughter away. We will first quietly raise them on a farm outside the capital. I will be careful not to be discovered, otherwise if I anger the emperor, my career will be completely over!"

Old Madam Xie nodded. Of course, Jing Yuan’s career was more important than the unborn child.

The two talked for a while before Xie Jingyuan took his leave.

The night was a little chilly. As Xie Jingyuan walked out of Songhe Hall, a breeze blew by. He paused slightly. His mother had just told him to coax Jiang and stabilize the Jiang family.

The Jiang family is both his stepping stone and a huge mountain pressing down on him!

Xie Jingyuan sighed slightly, changed direction, and walked quickly towards Yingxueju.

Standing in front of the tightly closed gate of Yingxueju, Xie Jingyuan was shocked to realize that he had not slept on the same bed with Jiang for many, many years!

Is Jiang used to going to bed so early? He has no recollection of it.

Xie Jingyuan reached out and pushed the gate, but it was firmly bolted shut, not moving an inch. He knocked on the door and waited for a moment, but no one answered.

Xie Jingyuan was turned away in his own mansion, and he was filled with anger.

He is determined to enter this door tonight!

Xie Jingyuan raised his foot and kicked the gate of Yingxueju with force. The gate suddenly made a "clang clang" sound. After kicking it more than ten times, several little maids came running to answer the door.

One of the maids bravely asked, "Excuse me, who is knocking on the door?"

Xie Jingyuan angrily shouted, "You daring slave! Open the door!"

When the maid recognized that it was the Marquis, she naturally did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly opened the gate.

Xie Jingyuan stormed in, kicked the maid who opened the door, and then strode towards the main room...
