The princess has space, and her life turns around when she turns into a silly woman
Chapter 33: Continue to live in the General's Mansion
The feeling of being stared at made Shangguan Qing extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, a powerful aura came from behind her. A broad hand tightly embraced her waist, pulling her into his arms. A cold voice rang in her ears: "General Shangguan, have you just returned? Why don't you go to see the emperor?"
Shangguan Xi replied calmly, "Your Highness, the Emperor has granted me special permission to return home first. The imperial edict has already arrived."
His eyes fell on the eunuch holding the imperial edict, and he signaled him to read it quickly.
The father-in-law immediately understood and said, "This is great news. Everyone, please accept the imperial edict first."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yue and Yumei, who were originally unconscious, no longer pretended to be unconscious. They were as happy as two children. They hurriedly got up from the ground and knelt down to greet them.
Seeing this, others also knelt down to show their respect for the imperial edict.
However, Murong Bai did not kneel. Instead, he pulled Shangguan Qing back and said gently, "You are my princess and naturally enjoy the same rights as me. You don't need to kneel. The emperor will understand."
Shangguan Qing's eyes lit up obviously. This privilege was really great!
It seems that being a regent princess has many advantages!
She thought to herself, while casting a grateful look at Murong Bai.
Murong Bai leaned close to Shangguan Qing's ear and said, "That's enough. The Regent Princess has great power."
At this time, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict looked at the two of them helplessly, pretended that he saw nothing, and began to read the imperial edict.
By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Shangguan Xi, ordered to guard the border, demonstrated exceptional wisdom and courage, and achieved remarkable feats. His triumphant return is a blessing to the nation. I bestow upon him the title of "Loyal and Brave Young General" in recognition of his meritorious service. Considering the two generals in the General's Mansion, I hereby permit Shangguan Xi to remain in the Mansion. I hope he will continue to make new contributions to the nation. This is my decree!
After the imperial edict was read, Shangguan Qing wanted to strangle the emperor to death. This was obviously making things difficult for him.
Murong Bai whispered in Shangguan Qing's ear, "It doesn't matter. General's Mansion, I'll find a way to get it back for you. Just agree to it first."
Shangguan Qing nodded. Shangguan Xi looked at Shangguan Qing provocatively after receiving the imperial edict. "Sister, it seems that you and I have a deep bond as siblings. We can continue to live together."
Shangguan Qing nodded. Well, this is a good opportunity for him to deal with them and see if they can bear it.
"Yes, welcome back, big brother. I just don't know who will pay back the money that Second Uncle and Second Aunt owe us."
Shangguan Xi shook his head and refused, "Qing'er, why do you have to be so meticulous? We are all family, how can we have different opinions?"
Shangguan Qing sneered, "Since ancient times, brothers have always settled accounts. Besides, this general's mansion is my father's private property, and the plaque on it was bestowed by the late emperor. Even if you live here, you can't live here for free."
"Then what do you want?" Shangguan Xi looked at Shangguan Qing in front of him and muttered to himself, when did she become so difficult to deal with.
"It's very simple, just pay back the money!" Shangguan Qing said just one sentence.
"What? Pay back the money? Where do we get the money? Isn't the money all in my sister's hands?"
Shangguan Xi widened his eyes and started to make a fuss.
"No money? Then how dare you live in this general's mansion?" Shangguan Qing sneered.
Shangguan Xi's face changed. He didn't expect Shangguan Qing to be so decisive.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Shangguan Qing, don't go too far!"
"Excessive? Who's excessive?" Shangguan Qing retorted without hesitation, "You guys owe so much, are you just planning on defaulting on your debts?"
"Hmph, do you think we're really afraid of you?" Shangguan Xi was furious. "I'm telling you, this General's Mansion was given to us by the Emperor. You have no right to chase us away!"
"Okay, then let's go to the Emperor to seek justice!" Shangguan Qing said coldly, "Let's see if the Emperor will support your rogue behavior!"
When Shangguan Xi heard this, he suddenly felt guilty.
He knew that if the matter came to the attention of the emperor, it would be disadvantageous to him.
So, he had no choice but to relent and said, "Okay, it's our bad luck. However, we can't come up with the money right away. Can you give us some time?"
Shangguan Qing was secretly delighted to see Shangguan Xi give in, but he pretended to be reluctant and said, "Okay, then I'll give you some more time. But if you still can't pay it back by the deadline, don't blame me for kicking you out!"
Shangguan Xi nodded repeatedly, but secretly cursed Shangguan Qing in his heart.
At this moment, Murong Bai's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely noticeable smile.
Shangguan Xi was about to leave with the second family very proudly. Shangguan Qing knew that this was just a temporary measure for them, but it was also his own.
Shangguan Qing might also let them leave easily, leaving behind all their followers.
"These people were originally from the General's Mansion. Even the money Second Aunt bought them was from the General's Mansion."
Some people were unconvinced, "Miss, you have no control over us."
Shangguan Qing sneered, "The indenture is in my hands. You said I can't control you? Today I'll show you who can control you."
She turned to look at the steward, her voice icy, "Steward, call the traffickers. It turns out everyone in the second house has been sold off. Zhixia, come and look at the people in the mansion. Keep those who can be kept, as long as they are enough for us. Don't take any extra."
The servants looked at each other, and some of them who were frightened had already knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhixia was a little worried, "Miss, is this okay?"
Shangguan Qing smiled and patted her hand, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Shangguan Qing smiled at Murong Bai and said, "Your Majesty, lend me two people to use for beating with sticks. I want those who know how to use them. People need to know pain and die slowly before they know how to cherish."
Murong Bai did not hesitate or question at all, and said directly to the team, "Who will take on the task given by the princess?"
Soon two men stepped out and said, "Subordinates, show them what we are capable of. Disrespecting the princess is a death wish."
Shangguan Qing nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the servants, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
She said loudly, "Chun Tao, Qiu Ju, it's time to settle accounts with you."
Chuntao and the other two were so scared that they huddled together, "Miss, you can't do this to us. We are the Madam's dowry."
In one sentence, Yu Jun and the others stepped forward and kicked the two men down. "You conscienceless bastards, are you worthy of my aunt? Are you worthy of the Yu family? Tell me what you have done honestly."
Shangguan Xi was very displeased, and looked at Shangguan Qing with hawk-like eyes, "This is my sister's own family matter, we will not get involved."
Let's go.
Shangguan Qing directly ordered, "Liefeng, stop the people. Such an exciting scene needs everyone to participate to make it more interesting."
