The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 532: Furious
In the imperial study, the emperor's face turned livid. He severely reprimanded Liu Zhongshu in harsh words and pointed out his family's mistakes.

He then summoned Concubine Liu to the palace. Facing the brother and sister's explanation, the emperor remained unmoved and only asked coldly: "Concubine Liu, why did you bring the wife of Marquis Wu'an into the palace today?"

Under the pressure from the emperor, Concubine Liu hesitated and finally could only whisper that it was for the reunion of the sisters.

But the emperor knew very well that there were some things that Concubine Liu could be lucky about, but he would never allow anything to be concealed.

Previously, Concubine Liu had insisted that those rumors were all heard by the palace maids when they were out of the palace. If she now admits that it was the wife of Marquis Wu'an who said them, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

The emperor looked at Concubine Liu's flickering eyes and became even angrier. He slammed the table and ordered that Concubine Liu be demoted to Concubine Liu. Secretary Yang was also demoted to a seventh-rank official because of his family's mistakes.

Liu Zhongshu has been working hard in the officialdom, rising from the seventh rank to his current position. Only he himself knows the hardships and efforts involved.

Now that he had returned to the time before liberation, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

After leaving the imperial study, he glared at Concubine Liu and scolded her, "Madam, why did you involve yourself in this matter? If you knew the news, you only needed to pass it on to your family in secret. How could you go and report it to the emperor yourself?"

At this moment, Concubine Liu was completely disheartened. Facing her brother's accusations, although she knew she was wrong, she was unable to defend herself.

She said coldly: "When my sister came to me, I thought my father wanted me to seek justice for him in front of the emperor and make contributions to the Liu family. If you also planned to file a complaint, why did you let your sister come to the palace to pass on the message? Now I have harmed you and myself."

Liu Zhongshu has always been dissatisfied with his sister, the wife of Marquis Wu'an. She rarely cares about her parents' home and always looks arrogant when she returns home.

Now that he heard that she was the one who had ruined the situation and even caused him to be demoted, he was even more furious and decided to leave the palace to find his father to discuss countermeasures.

Concubine Liu returned to the palace, feeling extremely angry. She ordered her maid to pass on a message to the wife of Marquis Wu'an, asking her to come to the palace to pay her respects the next morning.

She wanted to let Lady Wu'an Hou know what consequences the mistake she made this time would bring her.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an knew nothing about what was happening in the palace. She was secretly glad in her heart, thinking that after this incident became a big deal, Censor Xiao and his daughter would inevitably suffer losses.

However, when she learned from the palace maid that the emperor had scolded Concubine Liu, she was shocked.

She didn't understand why this happened. Her sister, Concubine Liu, had always acted cautiously in the palace and had never offended the emperor.

She quickly asked the palace maid the reason, and the maid replied coldly: "Thanks to the Madam, the Queen is now a concubine."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was extremely shocked. She never thought that Concubine Liu would be implicated because of this incident.

She was filled with doubts and anxieties, not understanding what she had done wrong.

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Madam, the Secretary is here."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an quickly straightened her clothes and headdress, and went out to greet them with her maids and servants.

She was feeling uneasy, not knowing why Liu Zhongshu came here this time.

As soon as Liu Zhongshu entered the room, he saw the elegant and graceful appearance of the wife of Marquis Wu'an, and his heart was even more furious. Thinking that he was demoted by the emperor because of this idiot, he was so angry that he couldn't help but burst out.
