Happy Spring Every Year

Earl Anyang stumbled out of the carriage, his face pale.

These noble families mostly relied on the merits accumulated by their ancestors, and then inherited the title from generation to generation. Their life and honor all depended on the emperor's will.

If there is no promising offspring, the family is doomed to decline step by step.

He inherited the title of Earl of Anyang, but unfortunately he was not a good scholar or official, so he just enjoyed his rich and prosperous life. Unexpectedly, he gave birth to a legitimate eldest son, who was a mentally retarded child.

After that, he wanted to have another baby, but neither his wife nor the concubines in the house had any pregnancy.

Seeing that the Anyang Marquis's Mansion was declining, his half-brother wanted to adopt his second son to him several times to support the Anyang Marquis's Mansion.

He was already moved.

After all, Xun'er is too stupid to inherit the title. If I adopt my half-brother's second son early on to cultivate a good relationship with him, then when he passes away, there will be someone to ensure Xun'er a life of wealth and worry-free life.

Who would have thought that when Xun'er was ten years old, he had a high fever and inexplicably "woke up".

After that, he became the tutor of Prince Xianhuai, became the disciple of Mr. Lin, and entered the official career. Xun'er has become the undisputed pillar of the Anyang Earl's Mansion.

With such a bright future, he just needs to keep his tail between his legs and move forward steadily step by step.

He refused to listen and insisted on going to the Dali Temple to reopen old cases and help the people to redress their grievances. He even dared to point at the Duke of Chongguo and curse him in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

When Anyang Bo thought of this, his heart tightened.

Since the Imperial Guards surrounded the mansion today, it must be an order from the Emperor himself. That kid must have committed some terrible disaster!

He had already told Xun'er that he would kill himself if he did this!

I still remember that last year, Xun'er was assassinated by a masked man on his way home. He returned home covered in blood, his face as pale as paper.

Even so, he still refused to learn his lesson!

I also... I don't know how this rebellious son is doing now. Could he have been imprisoned?

Thinking of this, Anyang Bo felt his whole body go weak and his vision went dark.

He staggered but ran towards the main gate of the mansion without hesitation. Suddenly, several people ran out from the side. They had obviously been waiting there for a long time and stopped him.

Earl Anyang was in a daze, thinking that the Imperial Guards were coming to arrest him, but when he looked up, he found that it was actually his half-brother and his uncles.

"Kai Shuo, big brother——"

There was a loud noise in his ears. Anyang Bo's half-brother Jiang Kaijing grabbed Anyang Bo's arms and said quickly:

"Brother, this time it must be Xun'er who caused the trouble. Even the Imperial Guards have arrived, which shows that he has angered the Emperor. It is irreversible."

"Didn't my sister-in-law always insist that Xun'er was fake and possessed by a ghost?"

"Brother, just tell His Majesty this and explain it clearly. Don't let this fake Jiang Xun bring disaster to our family and all of us!"

The uncles and aunts beside him nodded repeatedly and agreed:

"Yes, I've said it before, how can a fool suddenly become wise? He must be possessed by a demon!"

"Either you ask someone to exorcise the ghost or burn him to death, but please don't let him bring harm to the entire Jiang family!"

Anyang Bo was pulled all over the place by the crowd. He opened his mouth wide and looked at everyone in front of him in disbelief.

The year Xun'er was chosen as the prince's companion, they changed their attitudes one by one and frequently came to try to establish a relationship with him. They all wanted to push their children to Xun'er's side in the hope of using Xun'er's influence to make a name for themselves.

What did they say then?

They said Xun'er was a late bloomer who rose to prominence later in life, praising him for his immense talent and promising future, saying he was the hope of the Jiang family...

"Brother, just say it like that, do you hear me? Anyway, my sister-in-law never likes him, and this matter is not something we made up out of thin air."

"Yes, Kaishuo, don't be confused. Keeping the Earl's Mansion and the title is the most important thing!"

Anyang Bo raised his head, his red eyes scanning every face in front of him, and he felt an indescribable chill in his heart.

Seeing that others were about to pull him away, Anyang Bo suddenly pushed everyone away with great force and shouted angrily:

"Get out! All of you! You're a bunch of profit-seeking, heartless villains!"

"He is my son, Jiang Kaishuo. If you dare to talk nonsense and ruin his reputation again, I will drag all of you down with me even if I die!"

Everyone was very anxious when they heard this and wanted to try to persuade him, but the Earl of Anyang had already rushed out and ran to the front of the imperial guards at the door.

When the others saw the long swords in the hands of the Royal Guards, they dared not follow.

"I am Jiang Kaishuo, the Earl of Anyang. May I ask what crime my family has committed? Is the siege of the palace by the Imperial Guards a decree from the Emperor?"

As soon as the Earl of Anyang finished speaking, a royal guard in red armor and wearing a long sword at his waist walked out of the door.

The Earl of Anyang glanced at his badge and knew that this person was Wen Chengye, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

"So it's Commander Wen, Lord Wen. May I ask where my son Jiang Xun is now?"

The Earl of Anyang raised his head and spoke loudly. Although there was panic on his face, he still looked very calm.

Wen Chengye raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. Everyone said that the Earl of Anyang was idle and did nothing, but now it seems that he is not as bad as the rumors said.

"Since you are Lord Anyang, please come in."

Wen Chengye stepped aside and spoke in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Earl Anyang felt even more uneasy, but he still stepped in without hesitation.

At the door, Fugui hurried to follow in, but was stopped outside by the imperial guards.

He burst into tears, his face filled with fear, and he shouted, "Master! Master!"

Anyang Bo looked back at Fugui, his eyes suddenly filled with sadness, but he just raised his hand and pointed somewhere not far away, then walked inside without looking back.

Fugui burst into tears, but the imperial guards' swords refused to budge, filling him with despair.

Seeing the door of the Earl's Mansion being ruthlessly closed, Fugui stamped his feet in anxiety, and then turned his head to look in the direction that Earl Anyang pointed.

In that direction...the carriage he had just driven was parked.

What happened to the carriage?

The next moment, Fugui was stunned.

Wait, just now...just now the master asked him to personally deliver the pastries to the young master at the Lin Mansion.

Lin Mansion!

Yes, go find Mr. Lin!

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Fugui's eyes, and he hurried towards the carriage.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a carriage parked against the wall opposite the Bo's Mansion.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, the people in the car quickly lowered the curtain. He only had time to see a yellow skirt, which seemed to be a girl's.

Fugui thought that it was someone else who came to watch the fun, so he looked away in an instant and drove the carriage straight to Lin's mansion.

In the carriage in the corner.

"Miss, Master Jiang...will he be okay?"

"will not."

A clear voice sounded, calm and resolute.

.......

On the other hand, after entering the Earl of Anyang's mansion, he thought he would be detained by Wen Congye.

At this time, he still believed that the disaster was caused by Jiang Xun, and he just wanted to find out more information before locking him up.

"Commander Wen, where is my son Jiang Xun now? Has he angered His Majesty?"

"He is an upright man who serves the public with self-sacrifice. He would never do anything wrong. Someone must have framed him. Commander Wen, please take me to see His Majesty!"

Seeing that Anyang Bo was about to continue chattering, Wen Chengye suddenly stretched out his hand and said calmly:

"Master, please move on and take a look at the west courtyard of your mansion."

When he heard the word "West Courtyard", Earl Anyang was stunned at first, and then his face changed drastically.

He didn't even care about Wen Chengye and walked quickly inside, almost running in the end.

The west courtyard was in a mess at this time.
