"Although these are just hearsay and there is no real evidence, but if there are too many lice, they will itch even if they don't bite you to death. Xiao Yuanshan admitted it vaguely and pushed it all onto Xiao Yusheng, making him bear all the blame."

Lord Xie rolled his eyes and raised his tone again.

"Haha! How refreshing! This father and son really are of the same blood. When doing bad things, each is more shameless than the other, and when taking responsibility, they run away faster than the other. It's such a joke that the father and son are in such a mess! Hahaha!"

After Lord Xie finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing again.

The other three members of the Xie family looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Madam Xie slapped her knees and said, "You deserve it! This is what you deserve for bullying my Lingxi."

After saying this angrily, Madam Xie looked at Marquis Xie again.

"Oh, sir, what happened next? Xiao Yuanshan put all the blame on Xiao Yusheng. What was the emperor's reaction? Did the emperor believe it? Did anyone plead for that old bastard?"

Xie Lingxi and Xie Zhibai also immediately looked at Lord Xie.

Lord Xie sneered.

"Plead for mercy? Who dares? At that time, no one in the court dared to approach me. The censors were the only ones who were talking at once. But that was enough. After all, as the victim, I had no right to interrupt at that time."

Lord Xie said with a gloating look.

"The emperor was furious at the time. Not only did he dismiss Xiao Yusheng from his position as Minister of Rites, he also fined him 20 strokes of the cane. Xiao Yuanshan might have felt guilty at the time, thinking that no matter what, he was still his own son, so he begged for mercy."

"The excuse was that Xiao Yusheng's legs were broken, and he was afraid that he couldn't bear another twenty strokes of the board, so he hoped that the emperor would show leniency. The emperor directly said that he would show leniency and not spank his buttocks, but directly spank his hands, saying that Xiao Yuanshan did not repent and did not teach his son, so he would add another twenty strokes of the board, which would be forty strokes!"

The other three people in the room couldn't help laughing out loud. The emperor's action was really funny because it was playful yet majestic.

Lord Xie continued to vividly describe the situation at that time.

"After the emperor finished punishing Xiao Yusheng, he stared at him and asked him if he was satisfied. This clearly showed that he was angry. How could Xiao Yuanshan dare to say that he was dissatisfied? He immediately expressed his attitude, saying that Xiao Yusheng did deserve the punishment."

"He also took the initiative to say that Xiao Yusheng had done such a wrong thing, and the emperor dismissed Xiao Yusheng from his post. The emperor set an example, and he should follow suit. He said that Xiao Yusheng had no talent and no morals, and had made a big mistake, so he was not worthy of the position of the crown prince. He said on the spot that the position of the crown prince would be taken back, and Xiao Yusheng should reflect on himself."

Lord Xie snorted heavily.

"What a good father! Xiao Yusheng has neither an official position nor the title of a crown prince. In addition, his body is also disabled. He can neither be a human nor a man. In the future, the Xiao family will have a lot of fun!"

Thank you, Lord, for what you said.

Xie Lingxi was also very happy to hear this.

Come to think of it, maybe it's karma? Didn't Xiao Yusheng like to pretend in his previous life? If he likes to pretend, then let him make it come true!

In this life, I have become a useless person. I hope Xiao Yusheng can find something to live with after being paralyzed in bed and suffering day after day.

If he accidentally doesn't want to live anymore and wants to commit suicide, and kills himself, how can I take revenge on him?

When Xie Lingxi thought of this, she couldn't help but raise a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth.

Lord Xie suddenly spoke at this time.

"By the way, speaking of the censors who were impeached in the court today, it was Censor Liu who cursed the most harshly. I originally thought that Censor Zhang cursed the most vigorously, but who would have thought that Censor Liu was more enthusiastic than Censor Zhang and cursed with such a gusto."

Hearing the words "Liu Yushi", Xie Lingxi immediately came out of her previous emotions and suddenly remembered something.

When Xie Lingxi was about to ask, Lord Xie suddenly looked at Xie Lingxi and asked.

"By the way, how is the Fifth Prince doing? Did the Fifth Prince have any response to what you said? Was he angry? Did he not hit you? Did he scold you?"

……

"No! No, no! You can't hit Yusheng! Yusheng's body is already in such a state, what will happen if he gets another forty strokes? No, no!"

The Xiao family was very lively at this time.

Mrs. Xiao cried and begged, and at the same time she did not forget to protect her son behind her, and she pleaded humbly to the father-in-law who came to execute her.

The eunuch looked at Madam Xiao helplessly and sighed, but there was no emotion in his eyes and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, Madam Xiao, you are really embarrassing us. The emperor has shown us special favors. If it weren't for the consideration of Prince Xiao... Oh, look at my mouth. Now Xiao Yusheng is no longer the prince of Cheng'en Marquisate. He can only be called the eldest son of Cheng'en Marquisate."

"Speaking of which, he has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor this time. The emperor personally arranged the marriage, but the eldest son was ungrateful and dared to disobey. He verbally agreed to the emperor's arrangement, but secretly hooked up with the second daughter of the Xie family and got pregnant. If it were the emperor's old temper, the eldest son would probably have lost his life!"

Madam Xiao's face turned paler as the eunuch spoke. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the eunuch speak again.

"But now the emperor is more calm and doesn't want to hurt the old minister's feelings, so he showed leniency and spared the eldest son's death. He just removed his official position and gave him some beatings."

"Could it be that Madam Xiao thinks that after committing such a crime of deceiving the emperor, he still wants to stand in the court? How ridiculous! As for the position of the crown prince..."

At this point, the eunuch looked at Xiao Yuanshan, who had been standing next to him with a sullen face, with a half-smile on his face, and spoke.

"The Emperor will not ask about the position of the Crown Prince. After all, it is the family affair of your Cheng'en Marquisate. It is Lord Xiao who understands the greater good and is moved by the Emperor's clear distinction between public and private affairs, so he took the initiative to propose to take away the position of the Crown Prince from the eldest son as a lesson for him. Madam Xiao, please do not blame the wrong person."

After these words were spoken, Madam Xiao looked at the silent Xiao Yuanshan in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her son's position as Crown Prince was taken away by Xiao Yuanshan himself.

The emperor hadn't even spoken, so what was Xiao Yuanshan rushing to do? Was he forcing her son to die?

Mrs. Xiao was certainly sad about losing her official position, but the situation in the court was complicated and her son often came back to complain about the troubles.

So if it's gone, it's gone. The worst that can happen is that you can find a less busy job. At least you have an official position and you can go out with dignity.

Not to mention, his son is qualified to inherit the title. Even if he does not have an official position, as long as he can inherit the Cheng'en Marquisate, he will be a marquis in the future, which is higher than ordinary official positions.

I used to have everything I wanted, but now I have nothing, and my son is useless...

Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she wanted to tear Xiao Yuanshan apart.

This is my son’s biological father!
