Qingshu handed the tea to Yi An and said softly: "We have encountered a problem and solve it. Don't be angry, as it hurts your body."

Yi An took the tea and said, "I'm not angry either. I'm just afraid that my parents will know about this. They are in poor health and know that this will definitely aggravate the condition."

Xiaoyu was almost angry when she told her about this matter, but it would be better for the emperor to relieve it. The forest was so big that there was no bird. Don’t think about the big house after marrying such a wife who messed up the house.

Zhuang Bing said outside: "Empress, the Duke, the wife and the eldest wife are here."

After drinking the tea, Yi An put down the teacup and said, "Let them come in."

Wu Zhengxiao, Zhu Lanxi, Xi and Hongyun walked in one after another. When they saw Yi An, they knelt down and gave a big gift: "The Empress, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Yi An sat on the top and said lightly: "Get up!"

Just letting everyone get up and not letting them sit down, so everyone gets up and stands in place.

Qingshu got up and walked down to salute the three of them. After the salute, he couldn't sit down and stood there. As a result, Yi An asked her to sit down after seeing it: "You're just sick and can't stand for a long time."

After saying this, Qingshu sat down helplessly.

Lan Xi, who had not yet recovered, stood in the middle and felt a little sad when she heard this. The queen's face was so ugly that she knew what was happening in the mansion. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Qingshu. Unfortunately, Qingshu lowered her head and did not accept her gaze.

Wu Zhengxiao also noticed that Yi An was in a bad mood and asked, "The Empress specially summoned Weichen and others, don't know what's important?"

If it weren't for something important, Yi An, who was busy with official duties, wouldn't have called them all over.

After hearing this, Yi An couldn't hold back and slapped on the table: "The rumors about the Duke Zhenfu are flying all over the sky. As the head of the Duke's Mansion, you know nothing. Are you ashamed?"

Qingshu was helpless and said he was not angry just now, and he lost control so quickly.

Wu Zhengxiao was confused. These days he had been busy with the affairs of the Grandpa's wife, and then he was worried about the health of the old Duke and his wife. He really didn't care about the family affairs.

Lan Xi immediately knelt on the ground when she heard this and said, "The Empress, it's all the fault of the ministers. The ministers did not control the subordinates in the mansion and made them gossip."

That day, when she received Qingshu's reminder, she called the butler to thoroughly investigate the matter. Then she found that Xi pretended to be sick and did not help with the funeral, which was deliberately spread by Qiuyin; as for Xi's desire to return to his title, it was spread by the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Wu Zheng's confidant, Mrs. Tang's daughter-in-law.

Whether these two things are true or not, they should report back to her first and let her deal with them. But both of them have a grudge against Xi, and they deliberately told them out of trouble and caused a lot of trouble. Lan Xi, as the head wife and Qiu Yin are her confidant, has an unshirkable responsibility.

Wu Zhengxiao asked with a calm face: "What happened in the mansion?"

Lan Xi's body shook after being questioned like this.

Qingshu looked at Lan Xi's face that was wrong and said to Yi An: "Empress, the third sister-in-law has not recovered from her serious illness, let her sit down and talk!"

Even though she was angry with Lan Xi, Yi An also softened her heart when she looked at her white face: "San Sister-in-law, sit down and talk!"

After she sat down, Wu Zhengxiao asked again: "Lan Xi, what happened in the mansion?"

Lan Xi was about to say, who would have coughed up.

Yi An was not willing to waste time quarrel about the trivial matters of the Duke's Mansion. She said, "My sister-in-law knows the most about this. Sister-in-law, tell me what happened in the third brother's mansion?"

When Xi heard Yi An summoning her, she knew that it was wrong. She had been with Yi An for several years and knew that she could not tolerate sand in her eyes.

Xi said with his head down, "Third brother, the people in the mansion slandered me for pretending to be sick and not attending my grandmother's funeral and not helping my third brother and sister organize funerals..."

Wu Zhengxiao was furious: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will find out this matter and give you a cleansing."

Xi's disease was diagnosed by Xiao Qin's imperial physician. Could it be that Xiao Qin's imperial physician could join forces with her to deceive everyone? Even if they can deceive the queen, it would be a serious crime to find out. Of course, the most important thing is that Wu Zhengxiao believes in Xi and does not think she would do such a thing.

Seeing his impatient appearance, Yi An said coldly: "What's the hurry? Let my sister-in-law continue to talk."

Xi paused, then sighed and said, "There are still people in the mansion spreading rumors that I want to get back the title. Third brother, I asked Hongyun to give up the title at the beginning, how could I come back now?"

After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Lan Xi.

Wu Zhengxiao naturally saw the deep meaning in her eyes, but he and Lan Xi and his wife have been so many years, and they know very well that Lan Xi is not a petty person.

Frowning, Wu Zhengxiao said, "Sister-in-law, this matter must be something that those people with ulterior motives want to provoke the relationship between our family. Sister-in-law, we cannot do what those people want."

Yi An's expression was a little slow, and he was fine if he was not led by the nose.

Xi smiled desolately and said, "Third brother, I know that my third brother and sister are not such people. I just slandered me and pretended to be sick. Isn't this trying to force me to death?"

Speaking of this, my eyes suddenly turned red.

Yi An felt very tired of seeing her still acting, and sang to the outside and said, "Mo Xue, let them bring people in."

Hearing this, a hint of uneasiness flashed through Xi's heart.

Soon the Imperial Guard dragged two people in, and the two of them were covered in blood. They knew they had been tortured at a glance.

When Xi saw one of the people, he rushed up and hugged her and said, "Aqiao, what's wrong with you, Aqiao? Aqiao, are you talking quickly?"

A Qiao's full name is Lian Qiao. She grew up with Xi since childhood. The master and servant have a deep relationship.

When Lian Qiao heard this, she cried and said with difficulty: "Madam, I am sorry for you, I am sorry for you."

After saying this, the person fainted.

When Xi heard this, he felt that the blood in his body had solidified. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Yi An who was sitting on the top of his head. Seeing her looking at him with a cold look on her face, she knew it was over.

Hongyun's daughter-in-law Tian saw the wounded maid Suixiang, but took two steps back. She didn't expect that the queen was so harsh and caught Lian Qiao and Suixiang without asking questions.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grab Hongyun's hand.

Wu Zhengxiao knew two servants, and he looked at Yi An and asked, "Empress, what's going on?"

Yi An said to Zhuang Bing who came in: "Give their confessions to the Duke and the Grandpa."

Wu Zhengxiao finished reading the confessions of the two, and looked at Xi with his confessions and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is said above is true. Do you really want to get back to the title?"

Xi's tears fell instantly, and she cried and said, "Zhengxiao, my elder brother was too sad and afraid that Hongyun would have an accident, so she selfishly forced him to give up his title. This child was filial and could not bear to see me crying every day, and followed my wishes. But soon I realized that I was wrong. Although Hongyun gave up his title and stayed in Shengjing, the child always felt ashamed of his father-in-law and elder brother's teachings. In Shengjing, he had never smiled again."
