375, The Duke's Daughter Divorced Her Husband on the Day of Her Wedding 21
The emperor held his belly. He had been dreaming recently that he had given birth to Qin Heng. Every time he saw Qin Heng, he always felt that this was the child he had given birth to from his belly, who was connected to him by blood and looked most like him.
Since she is Heng'er's sister, he can help Qin Xiuxiu a little while taking back the title of Marquis Wu'an.
"After the court session, call Marquis Wu'an to the palace, and also his son Xu Wenhuai, so that I can see what is going on."
……
Royal study room.
The emperor simply asked Marquis Wu'an to bring his wives Xu Wenhuai and Xu Jiaojiao into the palace.
In addition, Duke Qin and his wife also entered the palace with Qin Heng and Jin Xiuxiu.
Qin Heng wanted to come along to help Jin Xiuxiu.
As soon as they met, the group first saluted the emperor.
The emperor first inquired about the matter. After listening.
Emperor, "Marquis Wu'an, you have been asking for Xu Wenhuai to be crowned as the heir. Tell me, was it your idea to steal Qin Xiuxiu's dowry or was it planned by you and Xu Wenhuai and his son together?"
Marquis Wu'an quickly knelt down with Xu Wenhuai, "Your Majesty, there really is a thief in the mansion. Not only did they take out Qin Xiuxiu's dowry, they also took out everything in the mansion, not even leaving a bundle of firewood."
The emperor twitched his lips. It was really outrageous. How could a thief come to steal firewood? It must be that silver is not more attractive.
"Okay, Qin Xiuxiu's dowry was lost in your house. You have three days to return the dowry to Qin Xiuxiu according to the dowry list.
As for your title, look at your son Xu Wenhuai, a jerk who only wants women's dowries. Don't submit your petition to be crowned as the crown prince. The title of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion ends with you."
Wu'an Hou was horrified and kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, please give our Wu'an Hou Mansion another chance. If the title is with me, I will not be able to face my ancestors because I am gone, Your Majesty."
The emperor finally took back the title of Marquis Wu'an and felt very proud.
This opportunity came at the right time. "Marquis Wu'an, don't blame me. Just look at your son Xu Wenhuai. He has set his sights on the daughter of Marquis Yongning again. It really embarrasses me."
Xu Wenhuai's face turned pale. He had already discussed with Xu Jiaojiao about his plans for the young lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. Could it be that the emperor had sent someone to their mansion to eavesdrop?
Xu Wenhuai felt that this was most likely spread by Xu Jiaojiao, and glared at Xu Jiaojiao fiercely.
Xu Jiaojiao received Xu Wenhuai's gaze. Was he blaming her? It wasn't her who spread the news, so what did it have to do with her?
She spoke softly, "Brother Wen Huai, I have never left the house. This matter has nothing to do with me."
Xu Wenhuai said in a low voice, "Shut up."
Xu Jiaojiao quickly lowered her head and closed her mouth.
……
The news that the title of Marquis Wu'an was over spread, and coupled with the gossip about Xu Wenhuai and Xu Jiaojiao's conspiracy, no family dared to marry their daughter to Marquis Wu'an.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an sold many of her farms and shops to make up the dowry list for Jin Xiuxiu.
Most of the property of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion had shrunk, and even the servants' monthly wages had become a burden.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an reduced the number of staff and sold out many of them.
Now even the superficial glory could no longer be maintained. It was in visible decline.
There was only one maidservant left by Xu Jiaojiao's side, and this maidservant was allowed to stay because the wife of Marquis Wu'an was pregnant.
Xu Jiaojiao was very dissatisfied. The girls in the brothel were also served by a maid.
She is actually getting worse and worse now.
Xu Jiaojiao, holding her one-month pregnant belly, went to find Xu Wenhuai.
“Brother Wen Huai, I have your son now, and I only have one maid by my side, so I can’t handle it at all.
Could you please ask my godmother to give me two maids to do the chores and a nanny to take charge?
Mammy is the best at understanding pregnancy and childbirth. I am currently carrying your firstborn son."
Xu Wenhuai felt sorry for his eldest son and ran to find the wife of Marquis Wu'an.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was dissatisfied, thinking that it was not necessary to be so delicate while carrying a child, but she still sent a nanny who knew about pregnancy and childbirth to Xu Jiaojiao.
Seeing that only a nanny who knew how to give birth came, Xu Jiaojiao cursed the wife of Marquis Wu'an for being stingy. Now the wife of Marquis Wu'an really didn't look like someone from a wealthy family.
But he didn't dare to make too much noise and stayed quiet for the time being.
……
Jin Xiuxiu received the dowry from the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion according to the dowry list, and had it carried directly back to the Qin Duke's Mansion.
Now, there is no need to worry about finding an excuse to take out the dowry in the storage ring, which can be regarded as making up for the original owner's dowry.
Qin Heng has not yet officially resumed his status as a prince, but everyone in the court who should know already knows it.
After all, when he was in court, the emperor never concealed his doting eyes on his son.
Everyone knew that it wouldn't be long before the emperor would officially restore Qin Heng's status as long as he found an excuse.
Previously, the attitude of avoiding the Duke Qin's Mansion had also changed.
When the Duke of Qin attended court, the place where he stood was no longer empty, and everyone avoided him.
Wait until the emperor invites Master Ci'en to the palace again.
Announced after Master Ci'en left the palace.
Qin Heng was weak and sickly since birth. Master Ci'en examined Qin Heng and said that he could only grow up safely outside the palace.
Once you turn fifteen, you can return to the palace safely.
However, for Qin Heng's life, the emperor and the empress waited for another year. Only when Qin Heng was sixteen years old and safe did they allow Qin Heng to officially return to the palace.
Now Qin Heng is officially changed back to Xie Heng, the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest son born to the queen.
The ministers in the court were not surprised. They had known the news for a long time and there was nothing to be surprised about.
Only the eldest prince born to Concubine Xian, now the second prince, looked unhappy.
The virtuous concubine was so angry that she threw things all over the floor in the palace.
After the second prince left the court, he ran to the palace of Concubine Xian.
He dodged the debris on the ground and walked in front of Concubine Xian.
The second prince's face was gloomy, "Mother, father officially issued an edict today to recognize Qin Heng."
The second prince knew that Qin Heng had changed back to Xie Heng, and he didn't want to call him that anymore.
The virtuous concubine sneered, "I had planned everything, but I never thought that the little bastard would have a face like that.
He actually took advantage of it, and your father relented and acknowledged you very quickly."
The second prince found it ridiculous when he thought of Xie Heng's face which was 70% similar to his father's.
Before, his mother sent someone to complain about Xie Heng's appearance in front of his father. His father became suspicious and ordered people to surround Duke Qin's mansion.
Now that Xie Heng has regained his true appearance, the emperor quickly accepted Xie Heng just because of his face.
The second prince said unwillingly, "Mother, I have to say that Qin Heng is quite good at growing a face."
The virtuous concubine sneered, "Your father is really ridiculous, Qin Heng's face can't be fake.
Don't worry, I will have people instigate your father all the time.
Your father has become suspicious and will definitely punish the Duke Qin's family again."
