After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

what?

What Xie Mingzhu said?

"That's impossible!" Madam Xie immediately denied.

Xie Jiaojiao also widened her eyes and looked at the warlord: "Was the warlord telling the truth?"

The warlord chuckled and said, "Today, in the Golden Palace, your daughter stumbled and ran into the hall, tearfully accusing General Xie of murdering his daughter, of secretly keeping the imperial robes in the General's mansion, of harboring rebellious intentions, and of committing all the crimes that would lead to the extermination of nine generations of her family."

"Your general's mansion has the audacity to plot rebellion!"

As each point was explained, the entire Xie family was shocked.

"Screw your mother's life!" Xie Yuze rushed over, his eyes bloodshot. "How could you listen to what others said?!"

"How can Xie Mingzhu be anyone else? Isn't she your most beloved daughter, whom you've pampered since she was a child?"

"Could she lie and harm her own family?"

"I will not argue with you." The warlord placed one hand on the sword at his waist and said coldly, "His Majesty has ordered that anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy."

"What a tragedy! What a tragedy!" Old Madam Xie wailed, then closed her eyes and fainted.

"grandmother!"

Xie Yuze and Xie Jiaojiao both exclaimed in surprise.

"How could this be?" Madam Xie murmured to herself.

She swayed.

They were perfectly fine when they left the manor three days ago, so how did the Xie family end up being accused of treason?

In the palace.

The Imperial Guards quickly arrived at the Fifth Princess's palace, intending to take Xie Xing away as well.

"Miss Xie, please come with us."

Xie Xing pursed his lips and followed the Imperial Guards out.

Inside the palace was a special prison for detaining criminals, and Xie Xing followed the Imperial Guards into the prison.

The air was filled with a musty smell and an indescribable odor; the damp, cold air penetrated the skin, making one shiver.

What should we do now?

The sudden change came too suddenly; Xie Xing didn't even have time to prepare.

The cell door opened.

"go in."

Xie Xing was pushed into the cell by the guards.

The cell door was already closed when she turned around.

There was nothing in the cell except a layer of damp straw. When Xie Xing sat down on it, he felt his bottom was too cold.

Am I going to die along with the Xie family?

Xie Xing looked utterly dejected.

The system replied: 【No, it won't.】

The situation in the court is not good right now; there is a shortage of capable people, and the Southern Kingdom is about to invade. The Xie family still has their uses.

The system reassured Xie Xing.

But it still couldn't understand why the plot had turned out this way.

In the storyline, the Xie family, who originally doted on Xie Mingzhu, suddenly changed their attitude.

In the story, Xie Mingzhu, who is portrayed as kind and saintly, suddenly changes her attitude and is even accused of being an ingrate, falsely accusing the Xie family of having rebellious intentions.

The system sensed something was wrong.

Could it be that the characters in this story have all been reborn?

...

In the general's mansion.

The emperor dispatched Jun Lanjin, Luo Cheng'an, and Luo Hanfeng to search the Xie family.

At that time, Jun Lanjin, dressed in a crimson robe, with black hair and a jade crown, stood between Luo Cheng'an and Luo Hanfeng, looking extremely noble.

"His Majesty has ordered a search of the General's residence. No part of the General's residence can be missed!" the supervising officer beside him shouted.

The Imperial Guards behind him rushed forward and began searching the entire General's Mansion.

Inside the mansion, Xie Yuze walked towards Jun Lanjin and the others.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what Xie Mingzhu said is utter nonsense! Our General's Mansion has no intention of rebelling!"

Jun Lanjin glanced at him casually and said, "Whether he has any rebellious intentions or not will only be known after the search."

Luo Cheng'an naturally didn't want anything to happen to the General's Mansion.

He had just gotten engaged to the General's family, and now that the General's family was in trouble, wouldn't that directly implicate him?

What exactly happened to Mingzhu? Why did he suddenly reveal such a skill?

He winked at Xie Yuze and said, "In the Golden Palace today, Mingzhu said that your father, because she discovered this earth-shattering secret, wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible."

"Yesterday in the palace, poison that could seal the throat and pierce the intestines was found in the pastries that the palace maids gave to Xie Mingzhu. It has been confirmed that your father sent someone to do it."

"Now it is said that in her courtyard, there is a dragon robe secretly made by your Xie family."

"Whether it's true or false, a search will tell."

Luo Cheng'an's words were simply a recounting of what had happened, and even a reminder that the dragon robe was in Xie Mingzhu's courtyard.

Xie Yuze understood.

He clenched his fists, trembling with anger.

"Someone must have framed him in secret. Why would Father target Mingzhu?"

As he spoke, Xie Yuze put his hands behind his back and gestured to the servant behind him.

Seeing this, Luo Hanfeng smiled and said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, why not just search the Fourth Miss's courtyard? If there is anything there, the Xie family deserves to be executed."

"If not, then Miss Xie has wronged the Xie family."

"What does Your Highness think?"

As Luo Hanfeng spoke, his light brown eyes turned to Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin glanced at him for two seconds, his thin lips curving slightly, and said in a calm voice, "Just as the Seventh Prince said."

"Go search for it."

Apart from Xie Mingzhu's courtyard, the rest of the Xie family's home had been thoroughly cleaned up, with nothing that shouldn't have been there.

Not to mention training troops without permission.

Xie Yuze's expression was cold.

He was still angry. Why had he given in to Xie Mingzhu's kindness over the past ten years?

How could she be such a vicious and selfish woman?!

Xie Yuze was filled with boundless rage.

Xie Mingzhu's actions were like slapping the Xie family in the face several times.

They slapped the Xie family's faces until they were swollen.

retribution!

This is retribution!

It was their karma that led them to mistake a fish eye for a pearl, causing the real pearl to be covered in dust.

They neglected their own daughter, even mistreating her to an extreme degree, causing her to become estranged from them.

They showered Xie Mingzhu with love and affection, only to be met with this outcome.

Now that she's done such a thing, the story of how she tricked her eldest brother into dying in a fire, caused her second brother's head to be hung on the city wall by the southern barbarians to humiliate him, made him lose his legs, and finally made him die a miserable death in the street must have happened.

Xie Yuze felt utterly heartbroken.

After that, the last glimmer of hope he had for Xie Mingzhu vanished completely.

With a blank expression, he followed the others into Xie Mingzhu's courtyard.

……

At this moment, in the military camp.

Xie Tongchen was training his soldiers on the drill ground.

Suddenly, a group of Imperial Guards rushed in and swarmed towards Xie Tongchen, immediately pinning him to the ground.

"His Majesty has decreed that everyone in the General's residence be placed under guard!"

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

Xie Tongchen looked at Wen Yan, who was holding the imperial edict, in shock.

"What wrong has my general's mansion committed?"

Wen Yan smiled and put away the imperial edict, looking at Xie Tongchen with a beaming smile: "Young General, your Xie family is suspected of treason."

"If the charges are proven, the entire family will be executed."

"From now on, you will no longer be the majestic young general. Take him away."
