Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Jiaoniang felt as if a feather was tickling her heart. She quickly said, Hurry, tell me what happened.

She regretted it. If she had known earlier, she should have dragged Gu Yanfei into the palace to watch the commotion. Why did she miss such a big commotion!

Sigh, its all my fault. 1 was too unconfident in Grandpa!

Grandpa has actually done such a shocking thing!

The secret guard looked at Feng Yangs expression and reported everything.

When Imperial Duke Wei and Xu Yan entered the palace, the Emperor had already left the morning court a.s.sembly and decided to meet the two of them in Qianqing Palace.

As soon as Imperial Duke Wei saw the Emperor, he accused Xu Yan of colluding with bandits, robbing pa.s.sersby, and seizing the property of the people. He even submitted witnesses and physical evidence, asking the Emperor to issue a decree to punish him severely.

Xu Yan originally thought that Imperial Duke Wei had been convinced by him and was stunned.

After coming back to his senses, Xu Yan naturally tried to retort Imperial Duke Wei. He said that the evidence was all fake and that the witnesses had also been bribed by Imperial Duke Wei. However, he was casually refuted by Imperial Duke Wei.

Your Majesty, as you can see, this person has all the evidence. Xu Yan still refuses to repent. Hes really despicable!

Even the secret guards couldnt help but praise Imperial Duke Wei for being a wily old fox. The scenes from earlier in Qianqing Palace clearly appeared in their minds, and Imperial Duke Weis impa.s.sioned voice was still ringing in their ears.

Your Majesty, please keep the marquis t.i.tle on account of Marquis Jians ancestor, Xu Bing.

Dont ruin Xu Bings life of wisdom because his descendants are unfilial. Speaking of which, Xu Bing died to save the previous Emperor

At the mention of this, Imperial Duke Wei even knelt down. As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeve. His affectionate actions were equivalent to letting him say all the good and bad things.

When the young secret guard recounted this vividly, Wei Jiaoniang couldnt help but clap hard and praise happily, Good, Grandpa is really good!

Wei Jiaoniang felt that she had to drink three gla.s.ses with her grandfather when she returned.

Then what did Xu Yan say? Wei Jiaoniang asked again.

What else could Xu Yan say?! The secret guards expression became even more complicated. Marquis Jian didnt react at that time

At that time, Xu Yan was also stunned by Imperial Duke Weis unexpected actions.

His Majesty was also grateful for Xu Bings contribution to the previous Emperors rescue. He said that hell be extra benevolent and let them keep the t.i.tle of marquis. However, if Marquis Jian doesnt punish the bandits, the commoners will be outraged.

The Duke asked His Majesty to punish Marquis Jian impartially. He said that since Marquis Jian doesnt have a legitimate son, why dont they let the legitimate daughter, Xu Yao, inherit the t.i.tle?

After some deliberation, the Emperor agreed. He will officially issue an imperial edict today.

The secret guard said the last sentence with a sigh.

He could also imagine what kind of storm this matter would cause in the royal court, the capital, and even the entire scene.

Xu Yao was only six years old and was about to become the first female marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Wei Jiaoniang smiled so widely that her face was blooming. She really wanted to go back to the residence now and hug her little aunt, Xu Yao, and spin around.

Yes, Grandpa has done it beautifully!

Feng Yang suddenly raised her hand and rubbed Wei Jiaoniangs head. With the love of an elder for a junior, she smiled and said, Everyone says that your grandfather is a rough man, but this is just his appearance.

Do you think your grandfather was so useless that your grandmother had to put a knife to his neck? Feng Yang said teasingly. She stretched out her finger and gently flicked Wei Jiaoniangs forehead. You should learn from your grandfather. Dont be so silly all day long.

What? Wei Jiaoniang was stunned when she heard this. She sighed in disbelief again. Grandpa is actually such a person! To think that hes so forward-looking!

Wei Jiaoniang still wanted to ask about her grandparents when she saw Feng Yang put down her teacup and get up.

Are you leaving? Wei Jiaoniang quickly got up.

Feng Yang smiled faintly. Some of those old-fas.h.i.+oned people are against a woman attacking a n.o.ble. While Im still alive and can suppress those people, we have to let this matter be implemented.

Its not easy to have such an opportunity. I cant miss it.

As long as theres a precedent, itll be much easier in the future.

On this point, Feng Yang and Imperial Duke Wei thought of the same thing. Since they were going to do it, they would do it big and ruthlessly. If they didnt succeed this time, they would probably not have such a good opportunity in 50 years.

When Feng Yang said this, she released a cold, domineering aura, making Wei Jiaoniang tremble.. She recalled the female general her grandfather and grandmother had told her about on the battlefield
