The Duke of Zhen Guo and his son were buried seven days after their funeral. After the funeral, the emperor announced that the old Duke had entered the palace. The emperor's imperial edict arrived the next day. The emperor issued two imperial edicts in total, conferring Jiang Yuheng the title of Duke of the Zhenguo Palace. Another one recommended the fifth princess to him for marriage, and they would choose a date to get married in the coming spring.

After the eunuch who gave the order left, the Duke's wife couldn't help but make a fuss in front of the old Duke: "Dad, what on earth did you say to the emperor? Didn't you say that Weijia would inherit the title of the Duke's mansion? Jiang Yuheng How can I inherit the title after killing my husband-in-law and son! How can my husband-in-law and son rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

"Yes, I definitely don't agree with Jiang Yuheng taking the position of Duke. In this case, will we still have a good life in the mansion in the future! Grandpa, go and persuade the emperor to take back his life!"

Princess Ling'er originally thought that with the death of Duke Zhen Guo and the death of the prince, her good days were finally coming. As for whether they were killed by bandits or Jiang Yuheng, she didn't care much. She only cared about her husband-in-law. Finally got a chance to become the heir apparent! How could he say that his husband was the son of the dead Duke Zhen, and how could Jiang Yuheng inherit the title of the Duke of Guo? So she couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, has the emperor made a mistake? Although my father and uncle are dead, my husband-in-law is still in our room. It's not like there are no men. How can we do that?" Jiang Yuheng will inherit the title! How about I go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother for help, so that the Emperor can take back the imperial edict and make the Prime Minister the Duke of the State?"

She didn't dare to look for the Emperor, but she could still look for the Queen Mother!

The old Duke had a headache when he saw the three women kneeling in front of him crying. After hearing their words, he was even more angry. He said angrily: "You want the emperor to take back his life? Are you crazy? Jun?" Don’t you know Wu Xiyan? Besides, the position of Duke of the Kingdom was originally his. I thought that everyone in the big house died in the battle, and it was your turn. Now that Yu Heng is not dead, of course the title must be returned. Give it to him!”

"Dad, I don't believe that my husband can't even deal with a bandit leader. My husband must die"

"That's enough!" the old Duke sternly shouted: "You'd better not say such things again! Wein and his son were killed by bandits! The Emperor has found out everything! The Emperor also knows what happened back then! If you don’t want to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan, just go ahead and beg the emperor to take back your life! Remember, you all must pay back what you get from others one day!"

The old Duke left these words and strode away! Both of them want to piss him off to death!

Confiscating the family and exterminating the clan? The Duke's wife was dumbfounded, did the emperor know? But even if the emperor knew it, there would be no evidence! However, the Duke’s wife did not dare to bet on killing the nine tribes, including those from her mother’s family!

Seeing that the old Duke was angry, Princess Ling'er didn't dare to speak out. But after returning to her house, she couldn't help but get angry at Jiang Weijia: "You're a wimp, why didn't you say anything? If you were the emperor, I beg you in front of me, maybe you will become the Duke of Zhenguo now! I am already very aggrieved when a noble princess marries you. You have been an official for so many years, but you are still just a small official, and you are promoted to Pinghou Mansion."

After Jiang Weijia walked into the room, he just lay down on the recliner without saying anything! He didn't even look at Princess Ling'er. He had been transferred back last year and was just serving as a sinecure in the Ministry of Rites. Because of this, Princess Ling'er ridiculed him every day!

"I'm talking to you, why are you so disrespectful!" Princess Ling'er saw that Jiang Yuheng didn't respond after she had been talking for a long time, so she couldn't help but kick his foot.

Jiang Weijia stood up for a moment, glared at her fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Since you think I'm useless, then I'll divorce you, and you can go find a better one to marry! Just go find the one in your belly." Let the father of that child marry!"

Princess Ling'er had fainted while keeping watch over the past few days, and the imperial doctor found out that she was pregnant. Jiang Weijia looked strange after hearing this, haha, she thought he got herself drunk that night, took off her clothes and lay on the same bed with her. What really happened between him and her? Haha, God knows that he has no sexual interest in women at all. He only likes men. Even if he regarded her as a man that night and consummated the marriage, she would not be able to conceive a child! As early as a few years ago, the doctor said that he was sterile!

Jiang Weijia left these words and walked out without even looking at her. If he stayed in the same room with her again, he felt that the air was dirty! If he hadn't used her belly to cover himself, he would never have let this slut go!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Princess Linger's face turned pale after hearing this. She replied with a guilty conscience, then picked up the cup and pretended to drink water to cover up her guilty conscience. Did he know something? This is impossible!

Princess Ling'er was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night because of Jiang Weijia's words. When she got up early the next morning, she saw that although Jiang Weijia didn't give her a good look, he didn't mention the father of her unborn baby again. She was slightly relieved. Maybe he was Angry said it deliberately to test himself, because when he woke up that day, he didn't believe that he had consummated the marriage with him. Yes, he must have tested himself last night. Thinking of this, Princess Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that person who must never be seen again in the future! Princess Ling'er secretly made a decision in her heart!

Although the two imperial edicts from the Duke's Mansion were expected by everyone, they still aroused discussion among many people. But everyone didn't discuss it for long, and soon everyone was attracted by another thing, because the next day was the day when the rankings were released in Qiuwei!

This time, the second son of Shengpinghou Mansion won the first prize in the Autumn Palace, and everyone was excited. They all made bets that the second son of Shengpinghou Mansion would win the first prize in the spring of next year! He will be another young champion after the eldest son of Marquis Shengping, who has passed three yuan!

Many gamblers want to go to the gambling house to place bets, but the banker also believes that the number one winner next year will be the second son of Shengpinghou Mansion, so he will not be the number one pick in this round to avoid losing everything.

Although Jing Hao won the title of Xie Yuan, Zhiwen and Zhiwu also won the title and ranked in the middle or upper position. But because Yun'er's marriage was coming soon, and there was no banquet in the mansion when Jin Rui passed the imperial examination, so there was no banquet this time either, and we would wait until they were Jinshi.

There were no guests at the banquet in the mansion, so the family would still get together to celebrate. After Xiaoer had dinner at Shengpinghou Mansion, she remembered that the day after tomorrow was the day of Yun'er's wedding. It would be difficult for the two sisters to meet each other in the future, so Xiaoer decided Stay at Shengpinghou Mansion for two nights. Shangguan Xuanyi had no objection, but he followed Xiaoer to stay overnight at Shengpinghou Mansion. His reason was that he couldn't sleep alone when he went back to the palace.

Xiaoer had no choice but to let him go.
