Chapter 1057_1

Seven days after the deaths of the Duke of Zhen and his son, they were buried. After the funeral, the Emperor summoned the Duke into the palace. The next day, the Emperor's edict arrived. The Emperor issued two edicts consecutively: the first conferred the title of Duke on Jiang Yuheng; the second arranged the marriage of the Fifth Princess to him, with the wedding to be held in the spring of the coming year.

After the eunuch who delivered the edict left, the Duchess could not help but make a fuss in front of the Duke: "Father, what on earth did you say to the Emperor? Didn't you say that the title of Duke should be inherited by Wei Jia? Jiang Yuheng has murdered my husband and son, how can he inherit the title! How can my husband and son rest in peace in the underworld!"
