After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

Murong Ling'er had a cold expression on her face, and stared intently at the woman in front of her who was trying to make sweet speeches and argue, and was just about to open her lips to speak.

The Marquis's wife, Mrs. Deng, suddenly interrupted, "Narcissus, this Narcissus hairpin is a relic left by your mother! You have always treasured it, how could you lose it so easily?"

"Evil girl, is this how I taught you? You rebellious girl, full of lies, kneel down before me!"

Huo Jianjie was furious, his voice was like thunder, and the whole hall seemed to tremble slightly. He had been in officialdom for a long time, so how could such a lie with so many loopholes escape his eyes?

"Father?" Huo Shuixian widened her eyes, her heart filled with panic and grievance.

She really couldn't understand why her father would always favor an outsider today. He believed the outsider so easily based on just a few words from the outsider and had no trust in her at all.

Murong Ling'er was also full of surprise at this moment.

It turned out that Marquis Huo's original wife had passed away, and the current Marquis's wife was his second wife, and this eldest daughter was actually the daughter of the previous wife.

She couldn't help but secretly regret that she seemed to have been inadvertently involved in a complicated family feud. Thinking of this, she turned to look at her second wife Deng and said slowly, "I have evidence."

"What evidence? Miss, just tell me." Deng Lihua had a righteous look on her face, and her expression seemed to indicate that she would handle the matter fairly.

Murong Ling'er took a deep breath and continued, "That day, Miss Huo took me up the mountain. When we reached the top, Miss Huo fiercely grabbed my neck. I fought back desperately, not only pulling out Miss Huo's hairpin but also scratching her neck severely."

Deng Lihua heard this and her eyes suddenly turned to Huo Shuixian, who was kneeling on the ground. She shouted coldly, "Someone, check the young lady's neck."

When Huo Shuixian heard this, she instantly covered her neck with her hands like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She shouted at the two approaching maids, "Do you think lowly servants like you can look at my body? Get out of here right now! Get lost!"

However, Huo Shuixian's intimidation had no effect on the maids around the Marquis's wife.

The three old women walked forward quickly with firm steps and grabbed Huo Shuixian without hesitation.

"How dare you treat me like this? Do you really want to die?"

Huo Shuixian screamed at the top of her lungs and struggled desperately.

As the four people pulled fiercely, there was a "ripping" sound, and Huo Shuixian's silk collar was torn open a big hole. Several deep scars on her fair neck were exposed to everyone's sight without any cover.

At this moment, a panicked cry suddenly came from outside the hall: "Oh no, my Lord, my Lady, oh no!"

I saw a little boy crawling in, shouting in panic.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the sudden appearance of the servant, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became increasingly tense, as if a bigger storm was about to come.

"My Lord, this is bad! The commander of the Royal Guards has forced his way in!"

A panicked cry broke the tranquility of Marquis Huo's Mansion.

"what?"

When Huo Jianjie heard this, he was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, his face full of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure stepped into the hall, wearing shiny armor and holding a long sword in his hand. Behind him followed a group of eunuchs who came to announce the decree.

This person was Lin Yi. His cold eyes quickly swept over everyone in the hall. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the corner. He was slightly startled, but soon recovered and shouted in a deep voice: "Marquis Huo, come forward to receive the order!"

Huo Jianjie's heart was pounding at this moment, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He forced himself to remain calm, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down respectfully.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall knelt down one after another.

Murong Ling'er pulled Murong Chen, and the mother and son knelt silently in the corner, with their heads lowered, trying their best to avoid attracting attention.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Upon investigation, it has been determined that Chu Yanci of the Prince of Chu's mansion colluded with foreign enemies and sold out his country for personal gain. The Marquis of Huo's mansion, knowing all this, has concealed the truth and colluded with the other. Reflecting on the outstanding merits of his ancestors, I will only strip Marquis Huo of his official rank and title and demote him to the status of a commoner. To atone for his sins, I order Marquis Huo and his female relatives to be exiled four thousand miles away, without pardon. This is my decree!"

The eunuch's shrill voice echoed in the hall, like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's heart.

Huo Jianjie's face turned pale as paper. With trembling hands, he took the imperial edict, pressed his forehead to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I bow to thank you for your grace!"

Seeing this scene, Huo Shuixian and Deng Lihua, who had just been arguing over trivial matters in the Marquis' Mansion, collapsed to the ground in an instant, with disbelief and despair written all over their faces.

As the Imperial Guards began to search homes and arrest people according to the order, the entire Huo Hou Mansion fell into chaos in an instant, with cries and shouts rising one after another.

Huo Shuixian watched the imperial guards approaching her step by step, and the resentment in her heart burned like a raging fire.

Everything she had carefully planned for the Marquis' Mansion over the years had now vanished in an instant. How could she be willing to accept this?

Suddenly, she stood up abruptly, turned her head and pointed at Lu Murong Linger, shouting hysterically: "She is also the daughter of Marquis Huo's mansion, catch her, catch her quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, Huo Jianjie rushed to her like lightning and slapped her without hesitation.

The slap was so powerful that it knocked Huo Shuixian to the ground.

Huo Jianjie's face was filled with anger and anxiety. He said loudly, "My daughter has suddenly had a hysterical attack. What she said is nonsense. This Miss Murong is not from our Marquis Mansion. Your Excellency does not need to pay attention to her."

Huo Shuixian was knocked to the ground by the sudden slap and fell to the ground in a mess.

When she reacted, she covered her face and began to cry loudly: "I am not talking nonsense, she Murong Ling'er is the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion!"

Seeing this, Murong Ling'er frowned, her eyes filled with confusion and anger. She asked, "Miss Huo, I have never had any grudge against you. Why do you insist on killing me time and time again?"

Huo Shuixian's face was covered with tears. She looked at Murong Ling'er fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "I have evidence here! If I don't have a good life, then you don't have to have an easy life either!"

As she spoke, she quickly took out a letter from her long sleeve, stood up and handed it to Lin Yi without caring about her image.

Lin Yi looked solemn as he opened the letter and began to read it.

After a moment, his expression changed slightly, and then he handed the letter to Huo Jianjie.

"Marquis Huo, take a look for yourself."
