Chapter 27 - The Puppet's Tale (END) Part 1

The Empress was furious.

"Calm the anger! What anger?! You Marquis, how bold! You even have dared to force the Princess. What else do you dare not do? This Empress has only one daughter. You are trying to cut off the flesh of this Empress' heart."

The Marquis's head was pressed firmly to the ground.

"This servant dare not. May the Empress judge the matter clearly."

The Empress saw that the Marquis was so stubbornly ignorant, and in her rage, attacked him.

"The facts are already in front of you, and you still dare to argue! You are asking for Anping's life."

Madam Marquis also cried out, "This servant never wanted the life of the Princess. Since the Princess married here, the entire Marquis family has respected the Princess. How could they take Princess Anping's life?"

The Empress sneered.

"If so, this Empress sees that the first daughter of your house is also very good! From now on, she should come to the Imperial Palace and serve at the side."

After hearing this, the Madam fainted.

The maid beside the Empress immediately stepped forward to pinch the person's philtrum.

Only then did Madam Marquis slowly regained consciousness.

Madam Marquis's breath was weak, and she said, "Your Majesty, you can't! The marriage of Lian'er will be held soon, so she must not enter the Palace."

The Empress sneered.

"The wedding date is postponed until the palace maid can leave at the right age. This Empress will naturally let her back to the residence to complete the marriage."

Madam Marquis cried again.

"Your Majesty, the palace maid, can only leave the Palace when she is 25, so I beg Your Majesty to spare Lian'er. Whatever mistakes are made will be borne by me alone.

The Empress slammed the table and rose.

"The pain of taking your daughter today is the pain of taking Anping's son. If you don't return the child to Anping, then you don't want your child either."

At this time, the Old Madam entered the hall trembling with the help of her maids.

She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, all this is the fault of this old woman and has nothing to do with others. This old woman is willing to take all the responsibility. I implore the Empress to lift up her hand and let others go."

The Empress straightened her sleeves.

"You don't have to rely on the old woman here. Do not think there is anything more here for you. This Empress gives you three hours. If you still can not choose, then do not blame this Empress for being merciless. Get up and return to the Palace."

The little eunuch repeated, "The Empress is returning back to the Palace."

Just as the Empress left, Madam Marquis fell limp on the ground.

The Marquis stood up and looked at Madam Marquis and said, "Give him back! Give him back immediately!"

Madam Marquis wanted to struggle a little more.

"But that is the first grandson of our Marquis family. These days Xiao Shu only knows the one in the Palace and his Princess mother. How can he still remember our Marquis family!"

The Marquis was so angry that he pointed at her nose and cursed, "If you are still persistent, don't you want Lian'er anymore? If the Emperor blames you, you will not simply lose your child."

Rong Lian also tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mother, please give Xiao Shu back to sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is not an unreasonable person. She will definitely not educate Xiao Shu to leave our family. Do you really want to see me go to the Palace?"

Madam Marquis could do nothing but sit on the ground and bawl.

After she returned the child, this meant that Madam Marquis would no longer have the right to interfere in Princess Anping's child's affairs.

Xiao Shu returned to Ah Jin's side smoothly, and since then, Ah Jin's mission was successfully completed.

Although the Marquis family had returned the child to Princess Anping, they still made the Emperor and the Empress extremely angry by forcing Princess Anping.

The Emperor also used this as leverage to weaken the power of the Marquis family.

After Xiao Shu returned to her side, Ah Jin settled the task and left.

She really waved her sleeves and did not take away a cloud.
