On the night that the empress was deposed, the emperor ordered the Minister of War to have his property confiscated. This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

The news spread like wildfire, spreading through the streets and alleys overnight, and the entire capital city was in an uproar.

The people were talking about it, but more people were cheering secretly, and some even hoped that the Minister of War's Mansion could be completely looted, preferably without leaving anything behind.

After all, the family of the Minister of War often bullies the people and acts tyrannically.

Now that things have ended like this, the people feel extremely happy and wish they had nothing.

After hearing the news, some dignitaries had different expressions. Some were secretly glad that they were not too deeply involved with the Queen's faction, while others were worried and afraid of being affected by this incident.

For a time, the capital was filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

The princess's mansion was still peaceful and joyful, and was not affected at all by the unexpected events outside.

However, the Minister of War has a close relationship with the Zhou family, and those people are too thick-skinned. There is nothing you can do, and you can't escape what is coming.

Only two or three days after the house was searched, the gate of the princess's mansion became busy.

"My daughter, Dad is down and out now. You can't just ignore him! Your life is getting better and better, but Dad has ended up like this. Please help Dad out of our relationship as father and daughter, otherwise Dad will really be left with nowhere to go."

Minister Zhou stood in front of the door with a tired look on his face, his voice full of pleading and helplessness.

Standing behind him was a family of all ages. These people looked greedy and selfish, as if they wanted to take the Princess's Mansion for themselves.

Boss Zheng looked at this group of people, clenching his fists tighter and tighter, wishing he could rush up and punch each of them.

Zhou's face was also filled with anger. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar old figure in front of her and said word by word: "From the moment I fell off the cliff, we were no longer related. We no longer have any relationship."

Her current life was given by the old man, and she doesn't owe them anything. Now they want to use the father-daughter relationship to morally blackmail her, which is simply wishful thinking.

Minister Zhou saw that she was not going to change her tune, so he stopped pretending and started to curse: "You heartless thing, don't forget that I am your father. I gave you your life, and everything you have now belongs to me. You have to agree even if you don't agree."

"I advise you to be sensible, otherwise don't blame me for hitting you." His face turned red as he cursed, and he rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to hit someone.

"You old fool, you think you're dying too slowly, right? The Zheng family is reluctant to do it because of their personal feelings, but I can't stand it at all."

Huang Jin became furious when he saw his arrogant look. He walked over to him cursing and kicked him.

He doesn't care about respecting the elderly and loving the young. Old people like this just deserve a beating.

"Ouch~" Minister Zhou lay on the ground holding his stomach and rolling around in pain.

After all, Huang Jin kicked him with great force, and since he is old, he will have to stay in bed for at least two or three days after this blow.

"You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power, Zhou Qinwan. Have you lost your conscience? This is your own father. Are you just going to watch him get bullied?"

A middle-aged man helped Minister Zhou up, glared at Zhou and shouted angrily.

Seeing that he looks 70% similar to Minister Zhou, he must be the son of one of the concubines.

Jinbao was already full of anger, and after hearing his grandmother being insulted like this one after another, he could no longer endure it.

She frowned slightly, with a cold look in her eyes. She gently patted the two furry heads beside her and ordered, "Xiao Xiaobai, Xuetuaner, go and eat them all."

The voice was soft, but somehow it exuded a chilling and eerie aura that made people feel a chill down their spines.

Minister Zhou and his companions were still cursing and shouting arrogantly, but only now did they notice the two huge beasts beside her.

The beast exuded a strong sense of oppression just by standing there, which was frightening to look at.

They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs were shaking, and they stood there in a daze, not daring to breathe, let alone curse. It was as if they were under a spell, not daring to even fart.

Everyone knows the name of Princess Fujin. Not to mention that he is no longer the Minister of War. Even if he was, he would have no place to appeal if he was bitten.

However, they had always lived a life of luxury, but now they have to endure hunger. Now that they have finally got a chance to turn things around, they naturally don't want to let it go easily.

Minister Zhou covered his chest and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and held on, softening his tone and saying, "Qin Wan, we are father and daughter after all, and I really don't want to embarrass you."

"How about this? As long as you give us some money so that we can survive, we will leave the capital immediately and never bother you again. We will keep our distance from each other. What do you think?"

There was a hint of negotiation in his words, but his eyes held a subtle shrewdness and calculation.

Zhou's eyes were determined, and she said coldly: "No matter what, you are not qualified to negotiate with me. Without my mother, you are nothing. If you don't leave quickly, don't blame me for being merciless."

Her attitude was very firm, and she was determined not to leave them any chance to take advantage of.

"you……"

"Minister Zhou, do you think the charge of confiscation of property is too light and want to change it to exile?"

A cold voice interrupted what Minister Zhou was about to say.

Long Yue was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with his black hair tied up high, looking neat and tidy. The jade pendant around his waist swung back and forth rhythmically with his steps.

The whole person looks tall and slender, elegant and calm, and his every move reveals his extraordinary and noble character.

When Minister Zhou saw who was coming, he was shocked and even stuttered: "Too, too..."

"Since you think it's so good, why not exile me now..."

Minister Zhou was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body trembled. He waved his hands hastily, and his voice was filled with tears as he repeatedly said, "No, no! I know I was wrong. I will get out of here right now, as far away as possible. I will never dare to set foot in the capital again in my life."

After saying this, he pulled his family and ran out of the city, crawling and tumbling, fearing that if they were a step late, something terrible would happen.

After watching Minister Zhou and his family leave in disgrace, the Zheng family members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, their faces were instantly filled with smiles. They walked quickly forward, surrounded Long Yue, and greeted him warmly, surrounding him as he walked into the mansion.

The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became lively, with a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.
