Shu Yunwan, Madame Liu had already left a long time ago, the servants in the house were also expelled, only Old Lady Ji and Yong Ning Hou remained. Old Lady Ji was seated high up, while Marquis of Yongning was kneeling on the ground.

”Mother, your son has acted on his own. Please punish him.” He was a man of iron, a duke of Yongning who ruled the battlefield like a child who had made a mistake in front of the Old Lady Ji.

”Confused, confused, confused.”

Old Lady Ji spoke out three consecutive words before taking a deep breath and saying, ”Zhan'er, tell me about yourself. How could you do such a foolish thing? Mother has already warned you before, that you will be the one to decide Shang Er's marriage with her. But you absolutely cannot go and ask for a decree to bestow your marriage, especially when so many people are watching the Hou Mansion right now. ”Yet you still took a bunch of silver taels and threw it onto your daughter. Are you trying to set the Hou Mansion on fire?”

”It is my son who is not thinking carefully, but it shouldn't be as serious as my mother said. Mother, rest assured, your son will never do such a thing again. ”

Marquis Yongning lowered his head. He had considered this, and it was because of this that Ji Huashang sought death and begged him to let him go, but when she saw that his daughter sought death time and time again, she almost couldn't hold it in any longer, which was why he couldn't hold it in. That was Xiang Er's only daughter. If there was really something good about her, how would he have the face to see her again in the future?

Old Lady Ji sighed: ”Zhan'er, I know you love Shang Er. I was the one who took care of her too much, don't tell me I don't love her? However, if you do this, it will not only hurt her, but will also cause her to harm, and self-destructing will only make her into someone else to use your weight. You leaning over half a wall of property to request for the emperor to bestow the marriage to Shang Er, it is clearly telling others that she is your weak spot, even if you do not think that way, other people will only think that the Marquis Yongning's Mansion is already in the line of the Sixth Prince. ”

”Moreover, the prime year of the Emperor is nearing its end, and there will be a day when he will abdicate his throne. How could he protect Shang Er? And how could he protect Marquis Yongning's Mansion? Although the Sixth Prince has the support of the Imperial concubine Jing and other races, but according to his mother, he is definitely not a capable person. Do you know that you are courting death? Mother does not wish for you to ascend to the next level, but Mother also does not wish for the Marquis Yongning's Mansion, which have been around for many generations, to be destroyed by you and me. ”

The word 'capable' had nothing to do with the Sixth Prince.

Disregarding the past, just by looking at the things that he had done today, it was obvious that even if there really came a day when he, truly, stood behind the Sixth Prince, he would end up in the end in the end with nothing but deceit and death!

The fifth marquis was a marquis who was conferred the title of a lord by the Ancestor Emperor. After more than two hundred years of vicissitudes of life, through ups and downs, and a few ups and downs, most of them had already been changed. Marquis Yongning's Mansion was also one of the only two manors that had yet to change their surname.

Several generations of people in the Ji Family had worked hard to manage this situation. Since she had helped the Old wait ye to stand out in the Ji Mansion, how could she allow the Ji Family to be destroyed by her? Then how would she have the face to see the Old wait ye after she died? How could he have the face to face with the ancestors of the Ji Family?

The Old Lady Ji got up and slowly said: ”Everyone says that there are many talents in the history of the world that have fallen for this. Especially a martial general with an army in his hands like yours, that makes the Emperor most suspicious of him. What kind of person is the Emperor? That was a person who wielded great power in life and death. He could hold you up to the sky with one hand, or knock you down to the ground in an instant. ”In other words, the Three Slaughterers of the Acropolis City from the Xi Men family are a bloody example.”

”Mother, your son knows his wrongs. In mother's opinion, what should we do now?” Ji Zhan was completely ashamed by the Old Lady Ji's words. He was indeed not worried enough, after all, the Great Ye had moved to Biancheng in the past sixty-eight years, and at that time, Emperor Xi Zong had listened to her words and condemned the three generations of Great Uncle Zhong Yi's family members as traitors. In fact, the Xi Zong ordered people to slaughter them in batches for three days to set an example.

The An clan of Mansion of the Lord Protector had just been crowned king, but over a thousand of the five generations and nine generations had been massacred overnight.

No matter how great one's achievements were, one would not be able to defeat a master with an incredible skill. No matter how loyal one was, one would not be able to defeat the foundation of a country, the most important thing in the world!

How could he follow in the footsteps of his predecessors?

”You don't have to worry too much about this, today's Shang Er's disturbance can be considered to be just as good. Since the emperor asked to end Shang Er's thoughts of marrying into the imperial family, it's still wrong. The more trouble you cause, the worse it will be for Shang Er, and the less suspicion the Emperor will have on you. Furthermore, the Emperor was at the moment of truth, so for the time being, he wouldn't do anything to the Ji Family. But you have to remember to be careful and think twice about every decision you make in the future. As for Shang Er's marriage, there's no rush, let's talk about it when I have the chance. ”

As Old Lady Ji said this, her face darkened again, ”This mother has fought for her entire life, what kind of storm haven't I experienced before? But who would have thought that they would be pecked at by a goose in the end, and that Lin Lao was toyed with by a small Madame Liu for so many years! ”

When Matriarch He spoke of this matter, her tone was disorderly. It was obvious that she was greatly angered by what had happened today.

”Mother, this, Madame Liu shouldn't be that kind of person, or perhaps it is really those lasses who are slacking off their thoughts. Everyone can clearly see how Madame Liu has served her all these years in the Hou Mansion. We have all seen how she has treated Shang Er, this …” Ji Zhan was a little hesitant, obviously not believing that the Madame Liu would actually be such a scheming person. In the end, he believed the words of the Madame Liu even more, and that was her daughter's revenge for her love and hatred. From this, it could be seen just how powerful the Madame Liu was.
