Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Nanyao slunk back to his residence.

No sooner had he left than a figure emerged from behind the screen.

He possessed a beautiful face and a graceful demeanor, dressed in a long robe with wide sleeves, exuding nobility without restraint, truly the epitome of elegance and charm.

He walked around the imperial desk, smilingly mimicking Ying Nanyao's tone, and said:

"Alas! I request an official title for my elder sister-in-law; Lady Shangguan is unworthy!"

Emperor Cangxuan: …………

Suddenly I find Ying Nanyao even more annoying.

I was originally going to give him another reward, but now it seems unnecessary.

He glared fiercely at his son, who was watching the drama unfold and constantly stirring things up: "You get out too!"

"Yes, Father!" The Crown Prince quickly scrambled away.

Anyway, he'd already seen the show.

……

"Madam, Miss!"

Qiushui Pavilion, with its poetic and artistic figures, entered with light and quick steps.

"What is it?" Granny Huang asked.

With a smile on his face, Shi Shushihua said, "The Marquis has returned from the palace, and his face looks very unpleasant."

I heard that they tried to get an official title for the eldest son's family, but failed and were even reprimanded by His Majesty and banished from the palace.

"Serves him right! Your Majesty is wise!" Granny Zeng and Granny Huang said in unison.

"I heard that the eldest son's wife is crying her heart out right now!" Shi Shu and Shi Hua's faces were full of schadenfreude.

A hint of pleasure also appeared in Shangguan Tang's eyes.

She looked at Ying Yufu and said, "Fu'er, no wonder you made your mother agree to Ying Nanyao's request for Liu Xueyan to be granted an imperial title that day."

Ying Yufu smiled and said, "That's right. Ying Nanyao's attempt to request an imperial title for the eldest son's family also failed in the dream."

Not only did he fail, but he was also reprimanded by His Majesty, and all the other rewards he was about to receive were lost.

That's why I got my mother to agree.

Shangguan Tang sneered, "How foolish. Doesn't he even consider who Liu Shi is?"

Granny Huang said, "The Liu family was once a noble family in the previous dynasty, and their lineage has been passed down for generations."

They considered themselves superior, looked down on the late emperor who was born a commoner, and even declared that they would not associate with peasants.

Hmph, later when my dynasty was established, this Liu family surrendered faster than anyone else.

They even asserted that as long as the late emperor granted the Liu family dukedoms and titles, they would serve our dynasty.

As a result, the late emperor directly appointed them as seventh-rank officials and sent them to a remote place as county magistrates.

At this point, a deep disdain flashed in Granny Huang's eyes.

"If the old lady hadn't already married the old Marquis of Weiyuan and given birth to Ying Nanyao and his elder brother, she probably would never have had the chance to marry into the Marquis's mansion in her lifetime."

Seeing that the Liu family was not favored by the late emperor, the old lady took her niece Liu Xueyan into her care for the future of the Liu clan.

She grew up alongside the Ying brothers, Ying Nanyao and Ying Nanyao, and they were childhood sweethearts.

Granny Huang glanced at Shangguan Tang and sighed inwardly.

Her daughter really married the wrong person.

In fact, the Duke and his wife had seen through this situation back then, and even after that incident, they still did not agree to the marriage...

But later, the young lady became pregnant with the young master's son.

Alas, fate is cruel!

Just then, Huang Li, a second-class maid who was waiting outside, came in and said that Du Mama, the old lady's maid, had arrived.

Before Huang Li could finish speaking, a plump, well-maintained old woman barged in.

This is Granny Du, who serves the old lady.

This woman was part of the old lady's dowry. She had always been with the old lady and had witnessed the extravagance and prosperity of the previous dynasty, so she was always very proud.

She barged in without even bowing, and said directly, "Madam, the old lady sent me to ask you for something."

Shangguan Tang looked at her. Ever since she married into the Marquis's mansion, this Granny Du had always been indifferent to her.

In the past, she had been quite polite to the old lady because she was her personal maid.

But she didn't speak today.

Instead, he looked at her calmly.

When Granny Du saw that Shangguan Tang not only didn't say anything, but also didn't even bring her a chair, she couldn't help but show her anger.

She gave Shangguan Tang a cold look and raised her voice: "Madam, the Old Madam ordered me to come and ask you for something, did you hear me?"

"What are you shouting about? How dare you, a mere servant, speak to your master like that? You have no manners!"

Ying Yufu picked up the cup beside her and threw it directly at the cup.

With a crash, the cup smashed onto Granny Du's smooth forehead, and Granny Du felt a piercing pain.

She raised her hand and touched it; her plump, white fingers were covered in blood.

Having lived a life of luxury and hadn't been injured in many years, Granny Du was stunned when she suddenly saw her hand covered in blood.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully proven someone wrong! System reward: 2 points!]

Ying Yufu smiled slightly.

When Granny Du came to her senses, she saw that Ying Yufu was still laughing even after hitting her, and she was immediately filled with rage.

"Second Miss, how dare you hit me?" Granny Du shrieked.

"A mere servant? I'll hit him if I want!" Ying Yufu said with a contemptuous smile.

"I am the old lady's person!" Du Mama's voice was loud and clear.

"So what? I am the rightful master of this Marquis's mansion. What, you, a mere servant, are more precious than your master?" Ying Yufu sneered.

Granny Du was shocked. She had only heard the eldest young lady talk about how the second young lady had spoken so arrogantly in the training ground, even daring to provoke the Marquis.

She had found it unbelievable before, but now she wondered if she had lost her mind.

Just like her crazy brother, they've both gone mad!

Unable to win an argument with Ying Yufu, Granny Du turned her attention to Shangguan Tang.

"Madam, are you just going to let the Second Miss act so recklessly?"

Shangguan Tang then spoke calmly: "You old servant were unreasonable first. Fu'er is just giving you a little lesson. If you are not satisfied, then get out of my Qiushui Garden."

Shangguan Tang hated these people to the core; everyone in the Marquis's mansion was her enemy and foe.

They were no longer the family she thought they were.

Granny Du's pupils constricted, and she couldn't help but threaten, "Madam, do you know what you're saying?"

Shangguan Tang said calmly, "If Granny Du is too old and hard of hearing, then we'll replace her with a younger one."

"you……"

Granny Du could hardly believe her ears. Had these two gone mad?

Regardless, she had to complete the task assigned by the old lady first.

As for the injury on her head, hmph, she'll go back and complain in a bit, and make sure that mother and daughter apologize to her.

A verbal apology isn't enough. Shangguan Tang's dowry is full of valuable items, and she's determined to squeeze every last penny out of her today!

Thinking of this, a glint of greed flashed in Granny Du's eyes, and she directly stated the purpose of her trip:

"Madam, the old lady sent me to ask you for the indenture of Shiqi's family. Give it to me now."

Granny Du stretched out her hand in a bossy manner.

"Tsk."

Ying Yufu couldn't help but look at her mother and said with a smile, "Mother, did you see that? The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion just had an accident, and these people aren't even pretending anymore."

Shangguan Tang was filled with hatred, harboring only deep resentment towards the Marquis's mansion.

She said, "Shiqi's family are servants of the Duke of Zhenguo's household. What, does the Marquis of Weiyuan's household have no servants? Are you trying to steal people from the Duke of Zhenguo's household?"
