After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

After such an incident at the banquet, everyone lost interest. After the Queen hurriedly left, the banquet was over. Tang Wenshu went home with her mother and did not see the Crown Prince until the end.

The three girls who had been taken away were about to face an extremely harsh fate. The Dali Temple was the imperial court's special place for trying criminals. It contained thousands of tortures, enough to terrify anyone and force a confession. Even strong and experienced men would find it difficult to withstand these brutal punishments. How much more so were these three young and inexperienced girls?

The Dali Temple detained and interrogated them separately, and the results were astonishing. It turned out that the Jingyang Marquisate had committed so many egregious acts over the past decades. While other families often cultivated outstanding sons to achieve prosperity and development, the Jingyang Marquisate chose a completely different path—relying on women to forge a future. Nearly every daughter of the Jingyang Marquisate met a tragic end, with no happy ending.

However, what is incredible is that despite such cruel and ruthless measures, the Jingyang Marquisate has remained as stable as a rock and even prospered. But this time, although the Jingyang Marquisate's actions did not violate the law, its reputation has already been notorious and has reached the extreme level of infamy.

However, Liu Yixin was unaware that the victory at the banquet was merely superficial vanity. In reality, she and the entire Liu family were already in dire straits. Her father had been dismissed from office for a mere minor offense, a move that undoubtedly meant the loss of their former position and power. More seriously, the fate of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion was also implicated, perhaps ending abruptly in this generation, and from then on, the Marquis of Jingyang would vanish from the imperial aristocratic circles.

Liu Yixin didn't understand the principle of "prosperity is shared by all, adversity is shared by all." She thought her performance at the banquet would win sympathy, but she didn't realize a greater crisis lay behind it. She was too focused on her own glory and neglected the interests of the entire family.

While Liu Yixin was still basking in the joy of her victory at the banquet, time slipped by, and before she knew it, it was time for the three captured individuals to return home. However, at this point, worrying rumors began to circulate—their mental states appeared unstable. The former princess, Zhu Jiahui, was in dire straits, in particular.

Zhu Jiahui should have had a bright future, but now she has suffered such a devastating blow. Her family has chosen to abandon her, leaving her feeling hopeless and helpless. Faced with this situation, Zhu Jiahui's heart has long been broken. She has lost her former pride and confidence, and has become fragile.

At this critical moment, it was Zhu Jiahui's mother who stepped forward and saved her. Unwilling to see her daughter sink into such despair, this resilient mother decided to fight for Zhu Jiahui's life. She traveled extensively and finally found a solution for Zhu Jiahui: marrying someone from a distant land.

While this arrangement protected Zhu Jiahui's safety, for a young woman who hadn't even reached adulthood, leaving her familiar home and marrying a complete stranger was a difficult decision to make. Zhu Jiahui's fate changed forever, and she was forced to embark on an unknown journey, adapting to her new living environment and relationships.

Meanwhile, Liu Jingwan and Ma Yiqing embarked on very different life paths. Legend has it that Liu Jingwan married a wealthy merchant and became his concubine. Despite her modest status, she lived a comfortable life. Ma Yiqing's fate, however, was far more tragic. Rumor has it that she married a third-rank official, old enough to be her grandfather, and became his concubine. Even more surprising, this marriage was Ma Yiqing's own initiative.

This news shocked and baffled people, leading them to speculate on her decision. Some said it was driven by Ma Yiqing's desire for power and status, while others suggested she was driven by helplessness or other reasons. Regardless, this outcome deeply resonated with the unpredictable and complex nature of fate. The three individuals who had once shared the Dali Temple experience now pursued different paths, their stories becoming a popular topic of conversation, sparking countless reflections and reflections.

After class that day, the entire classroom was engulfed in heated discussion, with everyone excitedly sharing gossip about the three individuals. Tang Wenshu was also drawn into the atmosphere, listening with great interest.

"Have you heard? He's actually a third-rank official!" someone exclaimed, his voice full of surprise and curiosity.

"Yeah, I didn't expect this result." Another person echoed, with a hint of regret in his tone.

At this time, someone else interjected, "So, Ma Yiqing might be about to start her career of house fighting." This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the people around, but there was a hint of worry in the laughter.

Then, another person sighed, "Hey, you don't know the truth. Ma Yiqing's hatred for Jingyang Marquis Mansion is deep-rooted. Moreover, this third-rank official is no simple character." There was a mysterious atmosphere in her words, which made people want to know more.

Everyone gathered around, waiting for him to continue. Seeing this, the man lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, this third-rank official is a powerful figure. It is said that he holds a very important position in the court, with sophisticated means and deep scheming. If Ma Yiqing were to marry him, I'm afraid her life would not be easy. Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is..."

Someone immediately asked curiously: "How is it so powerful?" "Is it more powerful than our Duke's Mansion?" someone retorted unconvincedly.

At this time, someone speculated, "Could he be the man whose eldest grandson is betrothed to Liu Yixin?" Someone immediately responded, "You guessed right! Too bad there's no reward."

Everyone suddenly understood and exclaimed: "Ah! So that's how it is. Doesn't that mean Ma Yiqing will become Liu Yixin's step-grandmother? That's amazing. Then Liu Yixin will be at her mercy." The classmates were discussing this topic excitedly, as if they had already seen the future palace drama.

However, someone else calmly analyzed, "The eldest grandson's wife isn't that easily bullied. It's hard to say who's more powerful." Someone nearby echoed, "That's right. I also heard that at the banquet, Liu Yixin cleverly fought back against the three of them."

Although the Jingyang Marquis Mansion has fallen into decline, their stories continue.
