The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

The atmosphere in the palace was solemn. Facing the emperor's questioning, Marquis Wu'an slowly said, "It is true that he has not returned home, but the Imperial Censorate has not sent any mourning clothes. How can it be said that the mourning clothes were thrown away?"

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Not to mention that she is a general appointed by me personally and an important official of the court, even if she is an ordinary citizen, she should abide by human ethics and practice filial piety. She dared to violate this and did not even attend her grandmother's funeral. Is she worthy of being a human being? Pass on my decree and order General Suzaku Chen Yunxi to go to her grandmother's grave immediately and kowtow a hundred times to comfort the old lady's spirit in heaven."

In the court, Nan Xuan heard the emperor's order and became secretly anxious.

He knew Yun Xi's character very well and knew she would never obey easily, but if he disobeyed the order, the consequences would be disastrous.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Lord Jin of the Censorate. The two of them understood each other tacitly and were about to step forward to plead for mercy, but were stopped by the emperor's sharp gaze.

"Nan Xuan, she is your disciple. If the disciple is unfilial, the master cannot escape the blame. You and Zhang Qingjia will go together to supervise her to complete the kowtow ceremony. Zhang Qingjia will read out the decree and then leave the court!"

Nan Xuan and Lord Jin looked at each other, both helpless. Marquis Wu'an watched coldly from the side, quite disdainful of Zhang Sima's behavior: "I never expected that you would be so keen on meddling in other people's affairs. What does it have to do with you that she doesn't return home to attend the funeral? Could it be that you have some resentment towards her in your heart, and you are taking this opportunity to take revenge?"

Zhang Sima responded calmly, "Father-in-law, I have no personal grudges. I just know that the emperor governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. Young Madam's actions are against the way of a minister in public, and in private, they are the actions of an unfilial descendant. What's wrong with impeaching such a disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial person?"

Upon hearing this, Wu'an Hou glared at him and then left in anger. Nan Xuan also turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Sima Zhang: "Wait a minute, Lord Nan, the emperor ordered you and me to supervise this matter, so let's go together to receive the decree and announce it."

Nan Xuan turned his head with a stern look in his eyes and said calmly: "You are responsible for announcing the decree. I am only there to supervise." After that, he strode out of the court.

Upon seeing this, Lord Jin hurriedly said to Nan Xuan, "Lord Nan, Yi Han went to the Chiyu Camp today. I will send someone to inform him immediately." Nan Xuan nodded in agreement, then left the palace, instructing his entourage to go to the Marquis' Mansion first, and let Yun Xi find a secluded place to avoid the limelight.

Yun Xi learned that she had been reported by Sima Zhang and that the emperor's order was about to arrive, and she already had a plan in mind.

She knew very well that disobeying the order would be tantamount to disobeying it, but she would rather die than kowtow to her enemy.

She said firmly to Aunt Qingyang: "I can't avoid it, but if you want me to obey this order, it is impossible. I will never forget the revenge for my mother's murder. How can I bow to the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qingyang became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She quickly ordered Kelin to pack her luggage, while Lanxiang held the horse and waited.

While everyone was busy, Liu Banruo suddenly came with a maid. Seeing the chaos in the mansion, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the princess going on a long journey?" Aunt Qingyang stepped forward to pay her respects, secretly guessing Liu Banruo's intention.

She noticed that there was no sign of Aunt Yuan Xin behind Liu Banruo, and she became even more alert.

Liu Prajna smiled, as if she didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the mansion: "Aunt, there's no need to be polite. I made Aunt angry yesterday, so she went back to the palace. I have nothing to do, so I came to chat with the princess."

Yun Xi became secretly alert when she heard this. This Liu Banruo always appeared when she least wanted to see her, so it was obvious that she had no good intentions.

However, Yun Xi did not show any abnormality, but responded lightly: "Since you are here, just make the best of it." Seeing this, although Aunt Qingyang had doubts in her heart, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and receive Liu Banruo.
