Xiao Yi knew that since the Procuratorate had received a secret order to arrest someone, and Lin Xun was in charge, there was no point in saying more, so it was better to leave with them...

He was a third-rank military marquis in the imperial court. Even the Imperial Censorate, which was highly trusted by the emperor, only had the right to interrogate people, but not the right to interrogate and detain them.

Not to mention, he also holds the secret of the Ganlu Change. With such a bargaining chip, someone in the court will naturally protect him!

After thinking about it, he straightened the wrinkles on his collar and followed the guards with his head held high. He did not look like he was being detained, but rather like he was going to inspect the censorship office.

When passing by Xiao Xuetang, Xiao Yi sneered and threatened sinisterly: "Xiao Xuetang, you will pay the price for what you did today!"

When Xiao Yi pointed a knife at him, Xiao Xuetang's expression didn't even change, not to mention that Xiao Yi was now a prisoner. Such a threat was more like a helpless rage of being unable to change reality.

Xiao Xuetang smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Then I will wait and see. I hope that you, father, will have another chance to get out of the prison of the Jinjianyuan."

Xiao Yi was so angry that he fell backwards. When he raised his hand and was about to slap Xiao Xuetang, he saw Xie Leifeng staring at him with an unfriendly look.

Not to mention, the guests attending the banquet today, his former colleagues, and the women were all pointing fingers at him...

No one would have expected that the once noble and upright Marquis Yong'an would eventually fall into such a state of disgrace in his later years!

First, he was caught having an affair with Madam Nan in Huguo Temple, then the scandal of his illegitimate daughter broke out. Now, at the family recognition banquet he held for his illegitimate daughter, he actually drew a knife and wanted to abandon his wife and kill his daughter, and he was involved in the turmoil of the demon cult in Southern Xinjiang...

"Abandoning his wife and killing his daughter is unrighteous, and colluding with the evil people in Southern Xinjiang. How could the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, a century-old family, produce such a disloyal and unrighteous person?"

"Yes, think about how the old marquis hated evil. When the eunuchs were causing trouble for the government, the old marquis was so hot-tempered that he didn't hesitate to spill blood on the steps. If he were still alive, he would probably be pissed off to death by this unworthy descendant."

Xiao Yi hated being told that he was not as good as the old Marquis Xiao. He had been planning for half his life just to get rid of his father's shadow. But today, his own daughter stripped him of all his hypocrisy and exposed him to the world. His face suddenly became gloomy...

"My Lord, if you keep dragging your feet, don't blame me for using courtesy before force."

Qi Yusheng still smiled at Xiao Yi, his peach blossom eyes were full of laughter, and he gently patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder. He used his internal force, and the movement seemed very light, but when it pressed on Xiao Yi's shoulder, it felt like a thousand pounds. Xiao Yi was actually staggered by Qi Yusheng's pat, and was taken away in embarrassment.

The last one to fall behind was Ye Jin...

"Wait, I have something to say to Xiao Xuetang!"

When his background was exposed and the three of them were about to be imprisoned together, Ye Jin looked dazed, as if everything was just a dream...

Obviously, today she had been successfully recorded in the family tree and became the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family and the third prince's consort. She had obtained everything she wanted. But within just one hour, all her dreams were shattered!

Xiao Xuetang, it’s all her!

Ye Jin's eyes seemed to be filled with poison. Even the knowledgeable Qi Yusheng couldn't help but gasp when he saw Ye Jin's almost crazy look.

Worried that she might hurt Xiao Xuetang, she naturally wouldn't allow it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuetang said, "Let her come over."

Seeing this, Qi Yusheng asked the two guards who had captured Ye Jin to let him go. Ye Jin could not wait to rush to Xiao Xuetang and said, "Xiao Xuetang, don't think you have won. Everything has just begun..."

"You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. You will rise and fall with the Marquis's family. If anything happens to your father, you will not be able to escape."

"Even if you are not afraid of death, you have Lin Xun to protect you. But your mother and your brother... He is the prince of Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Once Xiao Yi is convicted, Xiao Yu's life ambitions and ideals will be over. Do you have the heart to destroy his future with your own hands?"

"Xiao Xuetang, is it worth it to make yourself a loner just to deal with me..."

Ye Jin looked at Xiao Xuetang with a mocking look, thinking that it was really stupid of Xiao Xuetang to make such a big fuss today.

If she, Xiao Xuetang, was the one who was in charge, she would never play such a big game and involve Xiao Yi and Yong'an Marquis Mansion...

Xiao Xuetang was not shaken by Ye Jin's words. She stared at Ye Jin with a clear gaze and said with a smile: "Ye Jin, what are you afraid of?"

The smile on Ye Jin's lips froze instantly.

In this ancient time with strict ethics, Xiao Xuetang suing Xiao Yi as a child was a serious crime of disobedience, so Ye Jin was sure that Xiao Xuetang's target was not Xiao Yi, but her...

Now Ye Jin's identity has been completely exposed, and the forces behind her and the cards in her hand have almost all been revealed.

Ye Jin was afraid that if they really went to the dungeon of the Jujianyuan, Xiao Yi would be safe, the Marquis' Mansion would be safe, but she would become cannon fodder!

Now, the only one who can save her is Lin Shaoshu...

"The Tianxuan Sect has committed many evil things, and this dynasty has strictly prohibited witchcraft. With a mother like that, do you think Lin Shaoshu will still help you?"

"If I were you, I would definitely think of several ways to save my life. Ye Jin, you don't have much time left..."

Xiao Xuetang looked at Ye Jin's frightened expression and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Ye Jin wanted to say something, the soldiers came forward and escorted her away.

At this time, the Marquis' Mansion suddenly encountered such a big change. The onlookers did not want to get involved in the scandal, so they all fled in all directions.

During the day, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was crowded with people, but no one expected that in just one day, the whole place would be filled with soldiers in armor. For a moment, everyone in the mansion was in a panic, not knowing what to do...

After all, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is the residence of a third-class military marquis. Before Xiao Yi's guilt is determined, the people from the Jujianyuan will not quarrel directly, but will just let the officers and soldiers block it.

When Qi Yusheng was putting up the seal, he subconsciously looked at Lin Xun...

"Follow the rules."

Lin Xun glanced at Xiao Xuetang and said, "She will no longer belong here soon."

Qi Yusheng was shocked and looked at Lin Xun in surprise.

What does it mean to not belong here soon?

Could it be that Lin Xun has finally made up his mind to marry her?

Qi Yusheng's eyes suddenly lit up like lanterns and shone on Lin Xun. Due to his official duties, he couldn't say much, otherwise he would definitely catch Lin Xun and ask him clearly.

Lin Xun didn't know what Qi Yusheng was thinking. He looked around and finally found Xiao Xuetang in the corner of the garden, under the rose trellis.

His expression slightly changed, and he was about to step forward and say something, when he suddenly saw the person standing opposite Xiao Xuetang, his dark phoenix eyes instantly became sharp...
