The news that the eldest son of the Yongding Marquis Mansion doted on his concubine and killed his wife spread a lot in an instant, but Liu Chengyu slept extremely well that night.
He had already begun to imagine Xia Yunxian's expression after she was finally forced to return to the Hou Mansion. He now wanted to see her reluctant but helpless look!
"It's not good! Hurry, wake up the prince!"
At dawn, Madam Liu's panicked voice came from outside the courtyard, but the maid outside the door stopped her.
"Old madam, the prince said that no one can disturb him..."
Snapped!
But before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu used all her strength to give the maid a hard slap. "What time has it been? The Hou Mansion is about to be gone, and he will get up even if he dies!"
The Hou Mansion is gone?
Liu Chengyu woke up suddenly, thinking he had a nightmare, and immediately sat up and sneered, no, Princess Xian is not afraid of the leverage in his hands?
It's just a few memorials, it's impossible to shake the Hou Mansion at all!
However, the next second, Mrs. Liu had already broken through the door and came to him angrily with red eyes, "Cheng Yu, what happened? Why does the emperor want to deprive you of the title of Crown Prince of the Hou Mansion?"
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
Liu Chengyu yelled impatiently, but the next second he was shocked. He raised his eyes in disbelief and looked at the old face of Mrs. Liu who was scared to tears, "Deprive me of my title?"
How could...how could it be possible...
"This is the news from the court today. How can you still sleep?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but hit him hard, and then she fell to the ground muttering, "I don't understand, how could the emperor take away the title of our Marquis for Yunxian, for a mere woman?"
Liu Chengyu couldn't sit still anymore. Such a big thing couldn't come out of nowhere. He stood up immediately, but found that his legs had already become weak and could not obey his command. "Where is the imperial edict? As long as the imperial edict has not come, don't believe the rumors easily."
But soon, someone came from the Hou Mansion.
Everyone in the Liu family had their hearts in their throats, but it was an unfamiliar old lady who came.
"Princess Xian sent an old slave to tell the prince that if you want to keep your title, please hand over the letter of Heli to the Xia family. Otherwise, no one can save the Liu family with the imperial edict."
After leaving such words, she tried to leave, but was stopped by Liu Chengyu.
"The princess doesn't have anything else to say?" He didn't believe it, it wasn't true!
I saw the old mama frowning, "Don't you know, the prince? If you just spoil your concubine and kill your wife, you really won't make a fuss about it. Then you Liu family's children seize people's fields, bribe county officials, and disregard human lives. Even if the princess wants to protect you , but what will the emperor think?"
Overnight, more than a dozen pieces of information appeared about the Liu family's children bullying the people and violating the law, and several of them had been arrested, and it was revealed that Liu Chengyu connived and instigated them to do so!
"Nonsense! I didn't know anything about it, how could they..." After hearing this, Liu Chengyu was so angry that he cursed. He was clearly framed!
"Don't you think, Your Majesty, that you don't know these things, let alone that you can't justify them?"
Since he wants to seize the title, he should restrain the children of the clan and not let them do whatever they want!
He hasn't even been crowned a prince yet, but the Liu family is in such a mess, how can the emperor tolerate it?
Liu Chengyu couldn't help but shook his body. His expression was a little stiff. After a long time, he asked tremblingly, "If I give them Heli Shu, will the Xia family give up? Will there be room for maneuver?"
"Yes, this is the last path that the princess will show you. Prince, think about it carefully. There is an expert behind this matter."
"It's Prince Pingnan's Mansion! It must be them... Crown Prince, let's stop fighting with them. If we are deprived of the title, we will really have nothing!"
Mrs. Liu begged bitterly, Liu Chengyu gritted his teeth, and the reluctance in his heart made him almost breathless.
Why does everyone have to go against him?
Why is everyone looking forward to him leaving Xia Yunxian?
A wry smile rose, and Liu Chengyu said after a long time, "I understand."
…
"Sister, Liu Chengyu has sent He Li Shu."
When Xia Yunhan handed the He Li Shu to Xia Yunxian, she just glanced at it and said calmly, "Okay."
She knew that Liu Chengyu would not hesitate between the title and her, so there was no big surprise, just relief.
But soon, someone came to the General's Mansion again.
I saw small and exquisite brocade boxes being carried in one after another, and then a kind-faced boy bowed to the butler Xu Bo, "My lord has told me that these are the return gifts for Miss Xia."
Miss Xia?
Uncle Xu didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it, he happily agreed immediately.
No matter who gave the gift, from now on, there will no longer be the crown prince’s wife from Yongdinghou Mansion in the capital, only the eldest lady returning home from General Xia’s Mansion!
After getting rid of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, he was naturally happy for his young lady, but with the divorced woman, Uncle Xu was worried that those rumors would hurt Xia Yunxian.
Now, someone actually sent so many gifts, and he finally swallowed half of his worries back in his stomach.
"Is it Bai Yujing?" Xia Yunhan suddenly appeared next to Uncle Xu. The old man's eyes flashed and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
"Yes, sir, the gloves made by Miss Xia are very warm."
Did your eldest sister make gloves for that big traitor?
Xia Yunhan pursed his lips, remembering the way he saw Xia Yunxian and Bai Yujing bickering before, and said after a long time, "Take it all, we will take whatever he gives us in the future, no need to be polite to him!"
Only when she is with that guy will her eldest sister reveal her true emotions without any scruples.
"Master?" Uncle Xu looked at him in surprise. Because Master Bai often came here before, no one in the house could stop him. The second young master lost his temper many times because of this.
Now, has he accepted Lord Bai?
"The young master did the right thing. Master Bai is actually not a bad person. Really, he saved the young master back then!"
Xia Yunhan was slightly startled, "When did it happen?"
"Of course the second young master has forgotten that when you were a child, you learned from the eldest lady to climb a tree and fell down. Fortunately, Mr. Bai caught you under the tree! Afterwards, you complained to the eldest lady, saying that Mr. Bai tricked you into climbing. It was a tree that caused him to be given bitter medicine by the eldest lady several times in a row."
Xia Yunhan already knew that Bai Yujing was the little beggar who was taken in by them. Although he was too young to remember it clearly, after hearing such a past event, he knew that his eldest sister really couldn't escape.
"Forget it, let him be, I can't beat him now anyway."
But when he goes to the military for training and comes back, he will not allow Bai Yujing to bully his eldest sister again!
