The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

With the reminder from the Princess Consort, Princess Changyun already had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

"Qingshan, bring the person up here!"

The guards behind the Princess Consort made way, and Qingshan dragged the person over. "Princess, this person has revealed their hideout, and the Prince has also captured the person alive."

Qingshan did not hide his words from others.

Apart from General Luo and his son Luo Yuan, Madam Luo and Madam Li all turned pale.

General Luo had no idea what they were talking about, and Luo Yuan's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Princess, why bother with these tricks over such trivial matters?"

“If the Grand Princess gives the word, there will be plenty of people ready to follow in her footsteps.”

Lady Li could not hide her surprise at this moment. Looking at Luo Yuan with a face full of emotion, she called out, "Husband~"

That sticky, cloying tone made the Princess Consort want to vomit up her dinner from the night before.

"Those two haven't severed their ties yet, what are you, a concubine, doing here! Qinghe, slap him!"

As soon as the Princess Consort finished speaking, Qinghe appeared in front of Xiao Li and slapped her twice.

The applause was crisp and clear. Before anyone else could react, Little Li fell to the ground, blood trickling from both corners of her mouth.

Qinghe blew his clapper and returned to Luo Jingqian's side.

He had long disliked the second branch of the family, and if it weren't for the Duke of Dingguo, he would have dealt with the people who bullied his junior brother long ago.

Luo Yuan merely glanced at it indifferently before looking away. "How long are you going to cause trouble? What is the purpose of this today?"

Princess Changyun sneered, "Why?"

Apart from the Li family and Little Li family, who were feeling guilty, the rest of the Luo family members stood tall and were already itching for a fight.

The Luo family's illegitimate sons were on good terms with the second branch of the family.

Seeing the mother and son being bullied, he naturally couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Furthermore, if others bully them to their doorstep and they don't retaliate, they'll be laughed at when they go out and socialize.

Some people have already urged General Luo to take down these people who have come to his doorstep.

The people of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion have no feelings.

Luo Minghan, however, grew up right under their noses.

Although this child doesn't have the martial arts talent of the Luo family, he is quite good at studying, probably because he inherited it from his maternal uncle's side.

Princess Changyun felt even more heartbroken upon seeing this.

Despite being a member of the same Luo family, Jingqian only received disdain and ridicule.

"My son has been assassinated more than ten times over the years, suffering sixteen stab wounds. These imperial physicians can testify to this."

"I ask for nothing else but to return all these wounds to Xiao Li's son."

As soon as Princess Changyun finished speaking, she picked up the golden whip and lashed out.

Luo Minghan was covered in blood from the repeated lashes and wept bitterly.

General Luo and his wife were so angry that they collapsed.

"Luo Jingqian, tell your mother to stop! Someone has cast a backlash curse on him, and these injuries will all go to Princess Changyun."

"Also, this Luo Minghan is not a descendant of the Luo family. If you trust me, you can trace his bloodline in a month."

Luo Jingqian was surprised to hear Han Cuiyin's voice, but after a moment of surprise, he stepped forward to stop Princess Changyun.

"Mother, that's enough! He's not worth it."

Luo Jingqian did not specify who this "he" was.

Princess Changyun's clothes also turned red, and the Princess Consort was the first to notice.

"Take the princess back to the Grand Princess's residence."

The Princess Consort simply dumped the person at the Luo family's residence, saying, "We have the confessions. If you want them, we'll see you in court!"

How could a family like theirs possibly go to court? That would just make them a laughing stock in other people's eyes.

You should still say harsh words when necessary.

Unsure of Princess Changyun's intentions, the Princess Consort could only take her back to treat her injuries.

This person was the one Luo Jingqian captured ten months ago, using himself as bait.

They still have people like that in their hands.

Before leaving, Luo Jingqian merely glanced at the Luo family members and then departed.

On his face, pustules gradually appeared, and he simply let them spread.

"Jingqian, the Emperor has some reservations about the Grand Princess's residence. You shouldn't have acted this way. I gave you the medicine, thinking you could get away with it. Whether you believe it or not, you and your siblings are the most important people in my heart!"

Luo Yuan looked ashamed and stared in the direction where Princess Changyun had left, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Father need not worry about how the Emperor treats us."

Luo Jingqian didn't take the medicine bottle; he turned and left.

He still needed to quickly collect the blood from the golden whip, just as Han Cuiyin had mentioned.

Little Li held Luo Minghan and wept bitterly. General Luo and his wife were still lying on the ground, unconscious.

The Luo family was in complete chaos.

When Prince Changping met Luo Jingqian at the Luo family's gate, he simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your maternal grandfather can't help you, but you still have your uncle. He has already broken through to the Innate Realm and can always back you up. However, this matter must be kept secret, and the news must be revealed in a way that has a deterrent effect."

On the surface, Princess Jinghe's mansion was adorned with flowers and brocade, but in reality, it was a place of rampant corruption.

Only they know the true taste of it all.

Upon returning to the Grand Princess's residence, Princess Changyun and her consort were nowhere to be seen.

"Brother, how is it?" Luo Tianyun ran over first, her face full of worry.

Luo Jingqian said with certainty, "Mother's decision to divorce her husband is probably not just said in anger."

"Divorce? It's come to this? We won't be left in the Luo family, will we?"

Luo Tianxia was also somewhat uneasy.

Since ancient times, there has only been the concept of divorcing a wife, not divorcing a husband.

They are descendants of the Luo family; ordinary women would not be able to take their children with them.

Princess Changyun is different.

Emperor Chu Yuan and she still shared some sibling-like feelings.

Because of this matter, Prince Changping and his wife went to the palace to report the situation and help Princess Changyun with the aftermath.

"You two, hurry up and do what Miss Yang asked you to do. We'll return to Qingshuang Mountain tonight."

"Also, bring a few more fellow disciples from Fuguang Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Qingshan and Qinghe were only happy.

The two of them are usually enough, but they sometimes run into difficulties when something happens.

If their junior brother hadn't arrived so quickly, they would have been too ashamed to face him if something had happened to the princess.

"If my fellow disciples come over, will we still keep those four from Changji Village?"

The four from Changji Village had arrived at the mansion earlier, but they were learning the rules and did not show their faces in front of Luo Jingqian.

This is precisely the time when we are short-handed. These men are quite skilled in martial arts, so we might as well keep them.

Going to the border region, in retrospect, was not a good place.

There are plenty of ways to get them to atone for their sins.

"All four of them will stay! All the guards from the former Duke's mansion will be sent out, and they will remain to guard the Duke's mansion. They will also recruit some guards and train them."

"Also, the sign for the Duke's Mansion has been changed to that of the Princess's Mansion."

......

Luo Jingqian explained everything one by one, and also asked the two of them to take their two younger sisters back to pack their things.

He collected the remaining blood from the golden whip into a small jade bottle and hurriedly entered the palace.

The atmosphere at Emperor Chuyuan's place was not good.

"Changping, Changyun is truly... truly a heroine among women! Isn't she afraid of being impeached? Divorcing her husband? The whole world will be in uproar! You..."

Luo Jingqian had exceptional hearing and could hear the conversation in the imperial study clearly.

After announcing the news, he quickly went inside.

“Uncle, I don’t care about the title of Duke of Dingguo, but I beg you to take back the position of heir apparent!”

Luo Jingqian spoke bluntly, leaving the Prince of Changping somewhat taken aback. "You silly child, why should that mother and child benefit from this!"

"Changping, demoting him is impossible. Luo Yuan has just made a great contribution." Emperor Chuyuan's attitude was also firm. "I can only allow them to divorce. Jingqian and his sister will be removed from the Luo family genealogy and establish their own household."

The Luo family had guarded the border for generations and enjoyed an excellent reputation among the people.

Emperor Chu Yuan could not afford to discourage these soldiers.

The uncle and nephew left, and the Princess Consort was already waiting in the carriage.

"It's done!"

The couple said in unison.

"I've finally done something for your mother! You two go and stay at the farm at the foot of Qingshuang Mountain for a year or two, then come back."

It was only at this time that Luo Jingqian realized that his uncle's decision to demote his father was merely a temporary measure; otherwise, the emperor would not have been so accommodating.

"His Majesty is being so accommodating this time because of your reputation at Fuguang Mountain. In the future, you should visit each other more often."

We need to stand up for them!

Luo Jingqian thanked him, "Of course! We've troubled you today, Uncle. We'll leave tonight; you'll need to keep an eye on things at the Princess's residence."

The carriage was stopped. "Stop! Are you Jinghe's descendants?"
