Duo Ya was young, but after experiencing Dong Dan's matters, her originally lively personality had become much quieter and more reserved.

Hearing Duo Ya's voice, Xi Ya finally regained her senses. Facing Duo Ya's curious gaze, her face flushed a little.

"It's nothing. I was thinking that Ninth Cousin seems to be very worried about Ninth Cousin."

Duo Ya did not notice Xi Ya's abnormality and innocently nodded: "Of course. Cousin sister is my cousin's wife, cousin is naturally worried about her. When father was alive, my mother was sick, my father was worried too."

Duo Ya subconsciously mentioned her late father, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Xi Ya did not have much of a reaction, and followed what Duo Ya had said, and said: "But I heard that the Han people have three wives, four concubines, and even more concubines."

Duo Ya was immersed in her own sorrow, and did not answer Xi Ya's question. Seeing that she was ignoring him, Xi Ya was unhappy, "I'm talking to you."

Duo Ya didn't know why Xi Ya was so interested in his Ninth Cousin Sister's matter, but she was her big sister. Although she felt sad thinking about her father, she still replied Xi Ya, "It's not like everyone is like that. I think Ninth Cousin likes Ninth Cousin Sister-in-Law a lot.

Xi Ya saw that Duo Ya kept on mentioning Dong Dan, and frowned her eyebrows impatiently, "We are talking serious business, can you not keep mentioning daddy? Have you forgotten how disgusting he looks when he eats people?"

Duo Ya was stunned, her bright eyes stared blankly at Xi Ya's impatient face, and blinked twice.

Although she was only twelve years old, she knew that the personal matters between her cousin and his wife had nothing to do with them.

Abba was their father. Even though he looked scary at that time, how could their sister say the word 'disgusting'?

Duo Ya looked at Xi Ya in disbelief, and was speechless for a long while.

"Elder sister, you … How can you say that Abba is disgusting? "

Xi Ya did not know why, but she appeared to be extremely agitated. Hearing Duo Ya mention Dong Dan so often, she got even angrier, and shouted: "He tore apart his opponent with her bare hands and ate him, did I say something wrong?"

"But he's our dad. How can you say he's disgusting?"

"Even if it's Abba, he killed everyone in Miao Village. Even if it's Abba, can we ignore the crimes he committed?"

Duo Ya could not win against Xi Ya, and her eyes became red from anxiety. She shouted loudly with a choked voice: "Ah pa definitely did not do it on his own accord, cousin brother said Ah pa was controlled by someone. Ah pa is a good person, you are lying!"

Seeing Duo Ya's angry look, Xi Ya opened his mouth, swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth, walked in front of her, patted her shoulder, and consoled her with a compromise: "Alright, don't be angry.

After all, Xi Ya was her own sister, and she had always been good to him, so at this moment, although Duo Ya was secretly angry at Xi Ya for saying those words to his father, hearing him say it now, the expression on her face eased up a little.

"Be good, it's elder sister's fault. Elder sister apologizes to you."

As he said that, he made a gesture of apology towards Duo Ya, making Duo Ya's tears turn into smiles, "Alright, I'll forgive you then."

The corner of Xi Ya's mouth twitched, and she no longer paid any attention to Duo Ya, as no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

At this moment, another big event happened in the capital.

The Great Scholar Tang Yong and the marble temple's Young Official Li Ji had their entire family exterminated, from the Patriarch to the servants. Even the Tang Clan's baby that was barely a few months old was killed on the baby's bed.

In the blink of an eye, the entire imperial court was in an uproar.

After Tang Yong's and Li Ji's families were exterminated, a sentence was written on the wall, meaning that if Kaiser did not release Liu Ruo Qing, the officials of the People from the Divine Artefact Hall would exterminate their entire families. Such arrogant provocation made Yan Shuo angry to the point that he directly kicked over the dragon throne.

What kind of crazy man would dare to annihilate the family of a courtier continuously under the watch of the Emperor? He didn't even leave a single person alive, and even dared to leave such provocative words behind.

Tang Yong and Li Ji were the Qing Liu of the imperial court, both of them were Humble Class students. A while ago, they advocated for the execution of Liu Ruo Qing, and these two were one of them.

The deaths of Tang Yong and Li Ji, who had been students of Tang Yong, had a great impact on the Humble Class scholars. Especially the words of warning that had been left on the walls of the Tang Clan and the Li Clan, it instantly caused a huge commotion among the commoners and scholars.

Many people took the initiative to plead for the Emperor to execute the Crown Princess Jing as they were not afraid of the villains in the Shen Ji Hall.

This matter happened extremely quickly, as if a pair of invisible hands was forcing the Kaiser to execute Liu Ruo Qing.

Regardless if Yan Shuo was willing or not, or how suspicious the two extermination cases were, it was as if people of the world and scholars were holding a blade to his neck, forcing him to execute Liu Ruo Qing.

"Your majesty, how malicious are the hearts of Shen Ji Hall and the rest? We won't even let off Master Tang's grandson, who isn't even half a year old yet. If we do as they wish, releasing the Crown Princess Jing would only increase their arrogance even more.

"Your Majesty, this subject requests that Crown Princess Jing be put to death."

"I second that!"

"I second that too!"

"…"

Yan Shuo sat in the throne room, pinching between his eyebrows, his expression gloomy to the point of being terrifying.

As for the officials who stood out and spoke up for Liu Ruo Qing, even if they wanted to, they could not speak up now, regardless of how suspicious this matter was, if they were to speak up for Crown Princess Jing now, it would definitely arouse the anger of the people, and under the heavens were the scholars, at that time, if they could not handle this matter well, it would affect them greatly, and at that time, it would be troublesome.

He, Tang Yong, especially, whose beauty resides in the world, had actually been annihilated just because the Shen Ji Hall was warning the imperial government to release the Crown Princess Jing. This was undoubtedly smacking the imperial government's face; if the imperial government was afraid of their warning, it would be laughing at them.

When Liu Ruo Qing found out about this news, she was completely dumbfounded. She knew clearly in her heart that whether or not this matter was related to Shen Ji Hall, for the sake of the imperial court's face, it was impossible for Kaiser to let her go.

Before, the reason why she was able to face all of this calmly was because even if she was Liu Qian Xun's disciple, there was no one who had enough evidence to prove that she was related to the Shen Ji Hall. But now, the Tang family and the Li family had been annihilated, and the opponent had openly provoked the imperial government to release her.
