wrong?

He's the emperor? How could that be wrong?

Even if we're wrong, so what?

The emperor's aged hair was covered in a layer of dust in the dim prison. He said in a hoarse voice, "In all these years, I have not had a single day of peace. In the dead of night, I am haunted by the tragic scene of the day the Marquis's mansion was silenced. The old Marquis did not die on the battlefield, but he died under my butcher's knife. Do you really think that I feel any better about it?"

"I am the Son of Heaven. My heart is already destroyed. What more do you want?"

In short, he knew he was wrong, and the matter of the Qin Marquis's mansion should be left behind; Qin Zheng shouldn't have held onto it.

Qin Zheng sneered, "Your Majesty, I ask for nothing more than to clear the name of the Qin Marquis's mansion."

"Do you know what it means to clear the name of the Qin Marquis's family?"

This means that the emperor will have to admit his mistakes to the whole world, and history will record a significant chapter about him.

The two gazed at each other for a long time, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.

After an unknown amount of time, a blue spark exploded in the sky outside the prison, standing out starkly against the dark night sky, as if reminding someone of something.

Soon after, hurried footsteps approached, and Wang Yun rushed in, drenched in sweat. "Your Majesty, something has happened! The Crown Prince has committed suicide in the Eastern Palace."

The emperor's pale face froze instantly.

"Furthermore, someone has brought up the case of the Qin family from back then, as well as the case of his many generals who were exterminated. Now the whole court is in an uproar. Prince Chen has brought his men to the main hall, and the ministers are all gathered together, praying to the Emperor..."

"What?" The emperor had already guessed in his heart, but dared not make a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to abdicate."

After Wang Yun finished speaking, he dared not look at the emperor's face. The emperor seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. It turned out that, stripped of all his outward appearance, he was just an ordinary old man.

That year.

The Great Zhou Emperor abdicated and was honored as the Supreme Emperor. Prince Chen ascended the throne, redressed the grievances of the Qin Marquis's family and a group of soldiers, and granted a general amnesty upon the establishment of the imperial throne.

Qin Zheng inherited the title and established his own residence, becoming known as Young Marquis Qin.

Yunlu also gave birth. There was still a full month left before her due date, but the child seemed to be impatient and was born. It was a chubby little boy with eyebrows and eyes that were extremely similar to Qin Zheng's.

Yunlu lived in the Qinhou Mansion. Since the couple were used to life in Qingshui Village, even though there were servants in the mansion, they did not use them in their own courtyard. They only kept a midwife to serve them, and Aunt Zhang helped with the rest.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang had roughly guessed that the two of them must be of different backgrounds, given their similar appearances, but they never expected them to have such a powerful background.

They even brought the couple and their grandson to the mansion. Uncle Zhang became the housekeeper, and Aunt Zhang took care of Yunluo.

The two were grateful and determined to take good care of Yunluo.

"Madam, you've only recently given birth, so I've made some pig's trotter soup to help with lactation."

Yunlu feels nauseous whenever she hears about pig's trotter soup or chicken soup, but isn't that what raising a child is all about?

Of course, many wealthy families in the capital needed wet nurses, but she always felt a little awkward about it and decided to do it herself.

Of course, being a mother for the first time is always a bit embarrassing, so Aunt Zhang would avoid it.

"Aunt Zhang, where is Brother Qin?"

"The young marquis came to see the madam once earlier, but she was still asleep at the time, so he didn't wake her. It seems he has gone out now."

Going out again?

It's been almost half a month since she gave birth, and she's only seen Qin Zheng for three or four days at most. The rest of the time, he's either holding the baby or she's feeding the baby; the couple hasn't had a moment alone together.

It's time to name the child, and there are still many things to do.

Now that everything has settled down, it seems like everything is perfect, but she feels that her relationship with Brother Qin is not the same as before. After all, he can't remember the past, and Yunluo always has a knot in her heart.

"Where is the West Wind?"

"It's been a long time since we last met; it seems you haven't been at your residence."

Yunluo felt increasingly disappointed. "I see."

Aunt Zhang was very perceptive. Back in the countryside, after a woman gave birth, the man's interest would only last for a short while, and afterwards, he would disappear to who-knows-where. Moreover, during this time, many men would go looking for other women.

However, my master's family members are not like that.

She said, "Madam, don't worry, the young marquis treats you very well. He may have been delayed by something."

"I know."

And so, a few more days passed.

Yun Luo has already finished her postpartum confinement, but Qin Zheng is still nowhere to be seen every few days. Yun Luo is thinking that she will have a good heart-to-heart talk with him someday.

However, before she could even have a heart-to-heart talk with him, Aunt Zhang arrived, saying that guests had come to the mansion and that Yunluo needed to go out and meet them.

"Aunt Zhang, do you know who the guest is?"

Aunt Zhang shook her head, "I don't know, they didn't say."

Yunlu's suspicions deepened, but she still went.

When she arrived in the hall, she heard a lively commotion.

"Mom, look at this child, he looks just like my brother-in-law, that nose, those eyes."

"Yes, your eyebrows are like your sister's. It will be perfect when your sister has another daughter."

"Little darling, do you know who I am? I'm your uncle."

"And I, and I..."

A group of people in the hall, dressed simply, spoke in her familiar local dialect, and her memories instantly returned to the days in Qingshui Village.

Is it my mother and the others?

My great-aunt, my little brother, Xiaoyu, Xiaochuan, Xiaoran, Xiaoyu, my uncle and aunt, and even Fatty's family were there. Tiger was holding a child in his arms, and Fatty was playing with his son in his crib.

they……

Yunlu's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Brother-in-law, sister!" Yun Shaojie's voice came, and Yun Luo realized that Aunt Zhang, who was originally next to her, had already gone over, and Qin Zheng was standing next to her.

Qin Zheng, dressed in a purple robe, was different from the man in my memory who wore coarse gray cloth but still couldn't hide his brilliance. Now, he had a more mature and reserved air about him, making him stand out even more in the crowd.

Qin Zheng pinched her cheek and said, "On the day you gave birth, didn't you say you were disappointed that your mother and the others weren't by your side? I couldn't bear to see you suffer during your postpartum period, so I had Xifeng bring them all here."

Yun Luo was stunned.

So his busyness these past few days wasn't because he was neglecting her, nor because their relationship had cooled after he lost his memory; he was quietly preparing a surprise for himself.

"My lord, my lady, there are a few people outside who claim to be relatives from your maternal family. I couldn't stop them, so..." Before Xifeng could finish speaking, a voice interrupted him.

"Xiao Luo, it's me, Third Aunt, look at me..."

"Shut up, what kind of place is this that you can make such a fuss?" The old lady's harsh voice rang out, and Zhao Chunzhi was stunned, too scared to speak.

The couple looked over and saw that it was the Yun family.

Looking at Yunlan again, her smile was bitter. She approached and said, "Xiao Luo, my mother and I brought my younger brother to see you. They came along too, and we couldn't stop them."
