Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 294

Shen Yue couldn't help but feel nervous.

After such an incident, the emperor must have begun to doubt his abilities.

I will not be given a second job in the future.

"This matter cannot be ignored; if it gets out, it will damage the reputation of Great Xia. As generals of Great Xia, how can you manage an army if you can't even manage your own small families?"

As soon as Murong Yu said this, the others understood.

Chu San was demoted and confined to his quarters for six months.

General Chu was fined one year's salary.

As for Shen Yue, he not only lost his official position, but also his title of Marquis. The hereditary title of the Shen family was taken back.

The Marquis's residence, along with the main estate, will be taken back.

Shen Yue, unwilling to accept this, hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is not my fault... I am not satisfied with taking back the Shen family's marquisate."

Murong Yu chuckled, "Since you're not satisfied, then convene all the officials and let everyone have a say on whether my punishment is too lenient or too severe."

"Shen Yue, you came to me as soon as you returned from the border to tell me that you had demoted your wife to a concubine, then you divorced her, and now you are divorcing her again. Which official in the entire Great Xia Dynasty has such a character as you?"

Dissatisfied, they summoned the Prime Minister, Grand Tutor Zhou, and others.

Dozens of civil and military officials were present.

The whole story has been explained clearly.

The ministers present all agreed that the emperor was wise.

Grand Tutor Zhou pleaded, "Your Majesty, Princess Nanqiang was the one who acted immorally first, and Shen Yue is also a victim."

"So these impeachments are also victims?" Murong Yu seemed to have expected him to say this, and threw dozens of impeachment documents at them. "Take a look at them all, Shen Yue, you take a look too."

The impeachment memorial detailed everything the Shen family had done over the years, including a thorough investigation into all of Yun Xiyue's immoral acts, as well as Shen Yue's performance in the military camp.

In addition to impeachments by ministers, the emperor also sent people to investigate.

Results of the Dragon Shadow Guard's secret investigation.

After reading these...

After reading the memorial, Grand Tutor Zhou turned red with anger and threw it at Shen Yue, shouting, "I misjudged you!"

Shen Yue closed his eyes, speechless.

The sudden news of Lord An's demotion shocked everyone. After inquiring around, they learned that it was because the Emperor had found out about Madam Shen's affair with Master Chu that she was being punished.

"The Shen family is quite a bunch of idiots. They squandered their good title. Miss Yun is such a wonderful woman, yet they didn't want her and chose a piece of trash like the Princess of Nanqiang instead."

"Who knew the Southern Qiang princess was this kind of woman? It just goes to show that Lord Shen has poor judgment!"

"Haha, he's no longer the Marquis. I heard he even lost his official position. Today, his whole family is moving out of the Marquis's mansion. They'll probably have to sleep on the streets. The Shen family's assets were all squandered by the eldest patriarch of the Shen family. They're already heavily in debt. He finally managed to marry a merchant's daughter, but she was rich and good at business, yet he foolishly divorced her."

"He deserves it. As the saying goes, if you lose your family, everything will go wrong; if you lose your wife, you won't make any money. A man should prioritize his wife and parents. He should respect and love his wife and be filial to his parents. Look at what Shen Yue has done!"

"I heard he condoned the Southern Qiang princess's mistreatment of her parents and Madam Shen!"

They intended to suppress the matter, but the Shen family was demoted and their marquisate was lost.

One by one, the details were unearthed and became the talk of the town.

The day when the Shen family can turn things around again.

At this time, the Marquis's residence was surrounded by government troops.

Everyone was expelled from the Marquis's residence.

"What are you doing? I am the matriarch of the Marquis's mansion, and my son is Marquis Anjun! This is my home!"

Why should we leave? I'm not leaving!

The entire Shen family was kicked out.

The Li family is still shouting.

"Still calling her Madam! His Majesty has already issued an edict: Shen Jiade is unworthy of his position and has disgraced the late Emperor's grace. His title of Marquis has been revoked. From this day forward, there will be no more Marquis Anjun of Great Xia."

"Now that Young Master Shen has lost his official position, he can no longer live in the Marquis's mansion."

The people in charge of reclaiming the mansion were Leng Yan, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Zhou Yan, the junior magistrate of the Capital Prefecture.

Upon hearing this, the Shen family members turned ashen-faced.

Madam Shen sat at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion, wailing and crying, unwilling to move. She had lived to this age and could not accept that she had to go through such a thing.

The younger generation of the Shen family panicked and huddled together in fear.

I feel ashamed to be seen by others.

Madam Shen asked her nephew, "Yan'er, is this true?"

"Auntie, it's true."

"You should hurry up and take the Shen family to settle down! Grandfather said that from now on you can only rely on yourselves," Zhou Yan said.

Shen Zhou burst into tears, "Then how is this any different from confiscating our property?"

“No property was confiscated. You can take everything that belongs to the Marquis’s mansion. The Emperor, out of respect for the late Old Master Shen, only ordered the government’s mansion to be taken back,” Zhou Yan said.

But the Shen family really had nothing of value left.

It started from when Yun Xiyue left the Marquis's residence.
