“What crime should we punish him for?”

Emperor Yu Heng was in trouble. Just as Xie Xian had said, words could kill people. Zhou Siniang seemed to have gone mad. If she were to announce her crimes to the public, it would be no different from killing her. The power of gossip was sometimes far more violent than violence.

However, if such behavior was not restrained, future generations might imitate it and not be vigilant.

In the end, Emperor Yu Heng racked his brains and finally issued the imperial edict the next day.

Zhou Jijiu, Jin Ziguang Lu doctor has a good cow can be used to drive, the official bought refused to sell, was therefore dismissed from office.

He had a good cow and refused to sell it to the government, so he was dismissed from his post.

The Zhou family’s faces turned green when they received the imperial edict. Everyone knew the reason behind this. The Emperor had left some face and didn’t write the imperial edict to spread to the world. They still had to kowtow to thank him. Chancellor Zhou was so angry that he fell ill.

His family lied to him, saying that Zhou Weiniang was seriously ill and that she had to go to the nunnery to cultivate under the advice of the fortune-teller.

However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. The palace suddenly summoned those young ladies into the palace in the evening, but the Zhou family was sent out of the palace to cultivate every two days. No one believed that there was nothing wrong here.

As the ladies who were kept in the circle left the residence one after another to take a walk, the news of Zhou Weiniang’s incident instantly spread and was in an uproar.

After all, little girls would quarrel with each other. If they were not pleasing to the eye, they would at most fight with words and ostracize each other. There were very few people like Xiao Baoxin who would fight, let alone kill. He even poisoned the wrong person. This was simply unheard of and unheard of. It immediately made Xiao Baoxin seem a lot more petty.

After all, there were very few people who poisoned and killed people, and it was such a big deal.

The Empress had said that she wanted people to cultivate with their hair, but there was not even a time limit. Basically, the royal family could not remember, and Zhou Weiniang would live like this for the rest of her life. Even if they returned to Jiankang City after receiving the news, they would poison her without a word. Which twisted person would dare to marry her?

Zhou Siniang, who wanted to kill Xiao Baoxin, was sent to a nunnery far away. The young master of the aristocratic family who talked about Xiao Baoxin behind his back was also dismissed from his official position. For a time, Xiao Baoxin was dying.

Although the Yuan family was not specifically criticized by the Emperor, one of them was innocently poisoned by his cousin, and the other was surrounded by naked people. Because of this, the engagement was canceled. It became a hot topic in Jiankang City and was almost ridiculed by everyone.

Yuan Chen would occasionally write a poem, but it would be snatched up by others when it was circulated. He could explain more than ten thousand kinds of crooked theories and heresies, but he would be beaten into submission by Doctor Yuan, and no more poems would be circulated.

It was said that he continued to write poems, but most of them were burned directly after they were written.

Because of the Yuan family’s current situation, Yuan Jiuniang’s marriage proposal had fallen through. Not only did Yuan Jiuniang hate Zhou Weiniang, but she also hated Yuan Chen. She cried and cried every day.

The Yuan family became the laughing stock of everyone.

At the Xiao Manor’s side, gongs and drums were announced to the heavens. They were just short of setting off a few firecrackers to celebrate.

The Yuan family had gone too far. If it wasn’t for the Empress ‘mighty investigation of Zhou Weiniang, who had poisoned Yuan Jiuniang, Xiao Baoxin would have been bitten to death by the Yuan family’s mad dogs, and there would be no chance of him making a comeback in his life.

This time, the Yuan Family was in dire straits, so how could they not clap their hands in joy?

Especially when the Zhou family and the young master of the aristocratic family who was gossiping behind the scenes were punished by Xie Xian from Xiao Yu’s mouth, Madam Xie almost prepared a gift to thank them. Later on, it was Xiao Baoxin who advised her that there was a difference in seniority, and Madam Xie only let it go.

However, it was true that she thought Xie Xian was good.

She didn’t care about the court politics, nor did she care if Xie Xian had other plans. Anyway, they were unlucky because they were avenging her daughter. No matter what, she would accept this favor.

It was a pity that the people who provoked them were unlucky. They had vented their anger, but Xiao Baoxin’s marriage was still a big problem.

It was easy to spread a bad reputation, but it was difficult to turn it back.

She was her own mother and knew what her daughter was like. If it was someone else’s daughter who had such a bad reputation, she would not dare to ask for marriage.

Madam Xie had only been comfortable for two days, but she was worried about Xiao Baoxin’s marriage again. She could not sleep well at night, and her eyes were blue.

Until Yang Shao invited Madam Wu, the mistress of the Pan family’s first branch, to come and propose marriage.

The Pan family only relied on the Empress Dowager to make a fortune. The Pan family itself was a small family with no foundation. Madam Wu was not a noble family, so she did not have such a deep concept of family status.

Although the eldest daughter of the Xiao family had a bad reputation, it was not the Pan family who wanted to marry her, so she did not feel any psychological burden making this trip.

When it came to Yang Shao, Madam Xie was more familiar with him than Madam Wu, who was the matchmaker. Whether it was helping Xiao Baoshu fight or helping out in Scholarflower Alley.

Xiao Baoshu clung to her every day and worshipped her so much that Madam Xie’s ears were about to get calluses every day.

Although he was a commoner, he was already a third-grade general at such a young age. His future was limitless. Furthermore, Madam Xie had seen this person before. He was dignified, elegant, and righteous.

His family background was obviously not a match for him, so it could only be said that this child had a future.

However, compared to the current situation where there were only a few families, Madam Xie was satisfied. However, the last time, because Xiao Baoxin did not take a fancy to the Yuan family, it resulted in a huge fuss. This time, no matter how tempted she was, Madam Xie forcefully suppressed her joy and did not pat her chest on the spot to settle the marriage.

“.. My lord is still fighting outside. The engagement is a big matter. I have to discuss it with him no matter what.”

Madam Xie was enthusiastic, polite, and thoughtful. When she spoke, she was full of smiles. It did not seem like she was declining. Madam Wu had perfectly received Madam Xie’s true feelings.

“Before I came, General Yang told my nephew that General Xiao is out on the battlefield. He is not in a hurry to get a reply from your residence. He just wants Madam to know that he is sincere in asking for a wife. You just need to know in your heart.'”‘

“Whether it succeeds or not depends on your intentions.”

Madam Xie was even more satisfied after hearing this. To be able to let the matchmaker bring such words, it showed that Yang Shao knew the rules and was able to put down his status. He was indeed sincere.

The two madams chatted for a while more before Madam Wu got up and left.

Madam Xie personally sent him off. She turned around and saw him leave. She didn’t even return to the house and went straight to Xiao Baoxin. She shared this matter as if it was a piece of great news. She was so happy that her face was flushed red and she danced with joy.

She thought that no one would dare to marry her daughter with her reputation for a while. In the blink of an eye, she would become an old lady. However, she didn’t expect that there was really someone who had discerning eyes. Why wouldn’t she be happy?

However, when she saw Xiao Baoxin’s calm expression, Madam Xie had an ominous feeling in her heart.

“Daughter, you…What do you mean?”

Xiao Baoxin smiled. He really followed the path of his previous life. The heavens were really mischievous.

But,” I’m not marrying.”

Madam Xie felt as if her heart had fallen into a ten-thousand-year-old cold lake. It was so cold that her heart felt as if it was being pricked by needles.

Did he mean not to marry Yang Shao or not to marry anyone?
