"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fainted from anger again."
Shen Xihe: …
She had just had a very pleasant chat with Xiao Huayong the day before, and yesterday she heard that Xiao Huayong's condition had improved.
She raised her hand, signaling Hongyu to stop dressing her, and turned to look at Biyu outside the beaded curtain: "Why did you faint from anger?"
"It was the master of the Wanping Marquis's Mansion who went to the Crown Prince to complain, saying that the Minister of the Honglu Temple accepted bribes and misled him to inherit the title..."
Through Biyu's narration, Shen Xihe understood the whole cause and effect.
The Wanping Marquis' Mansion is also a long-standing meritorious office in Kyoto. The title was downgraded from the Duke, which had been hereditary for three generations, to the Marquis' Mansion.
Qu Yanguang's father was a marquis, and his younger brother became an earl, and the next generation became a viscount.
Qu Yanguang had a somewhat rough life. His father, the former Marquis of Wanping, was the second son of the legitimate wife. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, nor was he a playboy. He just loved traveling.
He got married at a young age to tie him down. Later, when he was traveling, he had an accident and was rescued by Qu Yanguang's grandfather. Qu Yanguang's grandfather was originally a herbal farmer and had only one daughter.
At that time, Wanping Hou had lost a billion and was robbed of all his possessions. He had to stay in the mountains to accompany Qu Yanguang's grandfather. After a while, he fell in love with Qu Yanguang's mother. With the help of Qu Yanguang's grandfather, the two of them worshipped heaven and earth, signed a marriage certificate, and became a formal couple.
Later, Qu Yanguang's grandfather passed away, and they moved from the mountains to the town and opened a medicine shop. Qu Yanguang also set up a painting stall, and the two lived in harmony. Not long after, Qu Yanguang was born.
Not long after Qu Yanguang was born, Wanping Hou disappeared one day and remained missing for seven years.
In fact, Marquis Wanping was forcibly abducted back to the Marquis Wanping Mansion by the servants of the mansion. His father died of illness and his eldest brother died unexpectedly. The huge Marquis Wanping Mansion was waiting for him to inherit.
Although he could not remember these people, he knew that they were all true. As a man, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the Wanping Marquis Mansion, so he sent people to pick up Qu Yanguang and his son. However, he did not know that as early as when he was abducted, Qu Yanguang's grandmother had ordered to kill the mother and keep the son.
By coincidence, Qu Yanguang and his mother escaped the disaster and went into hiding.
Seven years later, Qu Yanguang's mother was seriously ill and they had no relatives left. The eight-year-old Qu Yanguang had no one to turn to, so his mother carefully inquired about the identity of Wanping Hou and sent a letter to him.
Before Marquis Wanping arrived, Qu Yanguang's mother passed away, and Marquis Wanping eventually took Qu Yanguang back to his mansion.
Because of the long-standing dispute over his mother's identity, his wife at home could not become a second wife, and his deceased wife could not become a concubine.
Fortunately, before her death, Qu Yanguang's biological mother left a letter to Wanping Hou, saying that her husband was not Wanping Hou. Wanping Hou built a tomb for her as the one who married her. After Wanping Hou's argument, Qu Yanguang became the eldest son.
As a concession, Marquis Wanping was not allowed to request to be named the Crown Prince while he was still alive.
Later, when Marquis Wanping died, the one who inherited the title was the legitimate son of his wife, that is, the second legitimate son.
The duties of the Honglu Temple: to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children among those who inherit a title.
The reason why Qu Yanguang could not inherit the title was because of the judgment made by Chen Zhong, the current Minister of Honglu Temple and Marquis of Xuanping.
It is said that Qu Yanguang endured humiliation for three years before he collected the evidence.
"Why did you file a complaint in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Shen Xihe hugged the short-lived person who ran over to him.
