The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed

Chapter 318: Improper conduct, insatiable desires, restless, and fickle!

Liu didn't expect that an imperial edict would suddenly be sent from the palace, but she didn't dare to delay. She immediately changed her clothes and hurried to the front hall.

When she arrived, many of the masters of the Marquis' Mansion had already arrived, except for the people from the third room.

The old marquis was drinking tea with the eunuch who came from the palace to deliver the imperial edict. He wanted to inquire about the contents of the imperial edict, but the eunuch kept his mouth shut and did not say a word about the contents of the edict.

In desperation, the old marquis had to give up.

After a while, people from the third room arrived, including Jiang and Su Qingwan.

Su Zhiru was still in the Ministry of Revenue and was unable to come back.

"Eunuch, you can announce the decree now." said the old marquis.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict nodded, stood to the side of the prepared incense table, picked up the imperial edict and read it out.

"The Emperor of the Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven decrees that Su Yunrou, the second daughter of Su Zhiyi of the Marquis of Chengping, has bad conduct and insatiable desires. It was originally thought that she would be married to the Prince of Rui as the Princess of Rui to set an example for women, but little did I know that Su Yunrou was restless and fickle. I take into account the past contributions of the Marquis of Chengping Mansion and hereby give her a light sentence and heavy punishment. Demote Su Yunrou to the Prince of Rui's concubine and hand her over to the head nanny of the mansion to be beaten with ten boards. She is not allowed to leave the mansion without permission before she gets married. Those who violate the order will be allowed to commit suicide. This matter concerns the dignity of the Prince of Rui and the glory of the Marquis of Chengping Mansion. You must keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will be held accountable. This is my decree!"

After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict in a steady and calm manner, the old marquis was completely stunned. Each word was like a sharp sword piercing the old marquis' heart.

Liu was even more incredulous. What did he mean by restless? He was fickle?

I’m afraid the content of the imperial edict is fake?

How could the Emperor let his daughter be the concubine of Prince Rui? She was clearly the Princess before. Even if she had to be demoted, she should have been a concubine. How could she be directly demoted to a concubine?

Old Kang was also dizzy. Her granddaughter, who had the greatest hope of becoming the queen, had actually become the concubine of Prince Rui. How could she accept this?

The person who could not accept it the most was Su Yunrou.

There was a buzzing in her mind and she thought she had misheard or that the eunuch had read it wrong.

How could she be a concubine?

Or let her be the concubine of King Rui! It is a great shame and humiliation.

"Second Miss, please accept the imperial edict." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict placed the imperial edict on the incense table. No matter whether Su Yunrou accepted it or not, he had completed his job anyway.

"May I ask, sir, why did the emperor issue this decree?"

When Su Yunrou saw that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was about to leave, she immediately stood up, stopped him, and asked directly.

The eunuch had been instructed, so what he said was not very pleasant.

"You should ask the Second Miss where she has been that she shouldn't have been. She is really capable of angering the Emperor. She should just wish her luck in the future."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict flicked his whisk and left.

When he came to the Marquis' Mansion to convey this imperial decree, he did not expect to receive any reward, so he left very quickly.

However, Aunt Rong had a big stride and still caught up with him. She stuffed the purse of banknotes into his hand and said, "You've worked hard on this trip, eunuch. You have to accept a few more bowls of tea money."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict pinched his purse, which contained silver bills, and it must be a considerable amount. He was very satisfied.

"You are too polite, Ma! You should go back and remind your second daughter to go to Prince Qi's mansion less often. Prince Qi and Prince Rui are both sons of the emperor. How can she pick them at random?"

When Aunt Rong heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, but she was afraid that the eunuchs would notice something wrong, so she tried hard to hold down the corners of her mouth.

As a result, her already ferocious face now looked a little distorted and weird.

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Aunt Rong said hurriedly.

Then he went back like a gust of wind.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict thought that she was frightened by his words, so he just shook his head and left.

Xiao Kang was carried out by someone. She didn't expect to hear such good news. She couldn't help laughing. She couldn't stop shouting in her heart and wanted to find a troupe to sing. But she only laughed once and covered her mouth. After all, the old marquis and the old lady were there, so she couldn't gloat too much.

"Snapped!"

Angrily, Liu raised her hand and slapped Xiaokang.

"Aiya!" Xiao Kang was hit so hard that she cursed angrily, "You are crazy, why are you hitting me?"

Liu acted on impulse just now and did not have time to think carefully about whether she should take action or not.

But Madam Zhou's reaction was very quick. She immediately said, "Second Madam, just now the First Madam saw a mosquito flying near your face, and she slapped you gently."

"Bullshit! Where is the mosquito?" Xiaokang was so furious that he wanted to fight back immediately.

Old Kang had suffered a series of blows and didn't want to care about the lawsuits of his two daughters-in-law at all. He just glanced at Su Yunrou.

She didn't need to think too much about it. Su Yunrou must have done something to make the emperor unhappy.

"Yun Rou, you should follow the imperial edict and stay in the palace these days. You can't go out until you get married."

The emperor is angry now. If Su Yunrou doesn't behave herself and brings trouble to the Marquis' Mansion, what will happen?

Su Yunrou was naturally unwilling, but there was nothing she could do at the moment, especially since Prince Qi couldn't even leave the palace.

There's no point in her getting anxious.

Liu was upset on behalf of her daughter. "Madam, we have to find out what's going on. Why did the emperor change my daughter's position from princess to concubine? And he spoke so harshly. It's simply an insult!"

"Snapped!"

Su Qingwan gave Zhenzhu a look, and Zhenzhu responded by slapping her in the face, causing Liu to stagger.

"Aunt, please be careful with your words. How can a woman like you from the harem question the emperor's will? If it gets to the ears of the royal family, there will be another round of wrath. Aunt, don't let your outspokenness bring trouble to the entire mansion!"

Liu was beaten and stared at Su Qingwan with vicious eyes, but when she heard what the other party said, she panicked instantly and said hurriedly: "It's all my fault for speaking without restraint in a moment of panic. I didn't question the emperor's decision." As she said that, she kowtowed in the direction of the palace.

"Madam, I know about this. The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict just now said that the second young lady treated the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Rui as cabbages at the market, picking and choosing. The emperor did not chop off her head directly, which was already merciful."

Aunt Rong said excitedly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion changed again.

The old marquis's face turned red as liver. He glared at Su Yunrou with great dissatisfaction and scolded:

"You have brought disgrace upon the Marquis's Mansion."

"Grandfather, I didn't..." Su Yunrou burst into tears in grievance.

She was just going there with the goal of becoming the queen in her dream. Is there anything wrong with that?

If Prince Rui was still as heroic and brave as in her dream and was sure of victory, why would she bother with Prince Qi?

Ultimately, it was Prince Rui who was incompetent. How could the emperor blame her? He should have arranged for his marriage to Prince Qi from the very beginning.

In this way, there won’t be any troubles later!

The old marquis frowned when he saw how sweetly she cried.

"Alright, things have come to this, there is no point in crying. Who knows, the emperor might change his mind in the future."

No one believed what he said, but the old marquis didn't care. After he finished speaking, he left.

Old Mrs. Kang felt exhausted and was supported by Nanny Xu.

Xiaokang was slapped in the face for nothing and wanted to rush up and fight back, but his body had not recovered yet.

She kept comforting herself in her heart, waiting for a few days to recover before settling the score with Liu.

"Second sister, congratulations, you finally became the concubine of King Rui as you wished. When Fourth sister told me that you wanted to be the concubine of King Rui, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that your dream would come true now. It's really a great joy."

Su Lihan felt that she was finally superior to Su Yunrou, and she immediately started talking without restraint.

"Fifth sister, you actually said that, but remember that I am your second sister. Is it good for your reputation if I become the prince's concubine?"

Su Yunrou wiped her tears, but the villain in her heart was already beating Su Lihan.

Bitch!

You dare to laugh at her now, who does she think she is?

"You are you, and I am me. You are willing to be lowly. The imperial edict says that you have bad conduct, insatiable desires, restlessness, and fickleness. I don't have the ability of my second sister!"
