Steward Cen was astonished: 

“You mean… the young lady’s husband from the countryside is the youngest son of the Wei family? The young lady got married last twelfth month. Wasn’t the youngest son of the Wei family cultivating as a monk at the Huguolong Temple at that time?”  

Qin Canglan snorted coldly: 

“Hah, that was just a cover! He actually went to Qingzhou!”  

Qin Canglan had already learned from Su Ergou about how his granddaughter got married. 

Wei Ting was injured and captured by Su Cheng to become a live-in son-in-law.  

And to this day, everyone remains unaware of Wei Ting’s true identity.  

Steward Cen murmured, “This family… is really something. They picked up a son-in-law who could visit the capital, and they never suspected that Wei Ting might have some remarkable background? Does the young lady not know either?”  

“I didn’t ask her.”  

Su Xiaoxiao was ill, and Qin Canglan couldn’t bear to interrogate her, so he left first.  

Qin Canglan clenched his fist: 

“I will absolutely not agree to this marriage!”  

Steward Cen coughed lightly: “Well, I think… you should focus on getting recognized by them first. In their heart, it seems the son-in-law is a bit more important than you.”  

Qin Canglan: “If you didn’t talk, no one would mistake you for a mute.”  

—  

On the other hand, Emperor Jingxuan had been troubled by the affairs of the Duke Protector’s estate for two full days.  

After all, this involved the future imperial in-laws, did they really have to make such a big scene?

But since Qin Canglan’s attitude was so resolute, Emperor Jingxuan could not pretend to be ignorant.  

Emperor Jingxuan bestowed upon Qin Che a new name, Qin Jiang.  

The name Qin Che was effectively revoked, awaiting the day when Su Cheng would enter the palace, and Emperor Jingxuan would formally grant him Qin Che’s status, along with the Duke Protector’s gold seal and token.  

Of course, certain details, such as the punishment for Qin Jiang, could not be handled carelessly.  

After all, it was the crime of deceiving the emperor.  

Even considering the relationship between the late emperor and Qin Feng as ruler and subject…… 

While the death sentence may be avoided, living punishment is unavoidable.  

Whether it would be dismissal from court or demotion, Emperor Jingxuan had to consider this thoroughly.  

—  

Duke Protector’s Estate.  

Qin Che…… now to be called Qin Jiang. 

After being expelled from the main residence, Qin Jiang moved into the Qingfeng Pavilion, located far from Qin Canglan’s courtyard.  

It was once the courtyard where Qin Feng practiced martial arts.  

It could not be considered dilapidated, but it had deteriorated with time.

His background had spread throughout the residence, and the servants who once curried favor with him now kept their distance.  

When a man fell from power, his followers scattered.  

“Why haven’t you left?”  

He sat in the dim room, looking at Xu Qing, who stood before him carrying a food box.  

Xu Qing said, “I’ve said before, my life was given to me by the Duke. I will serve the Duke for a lifetime.”  

Qin Jiang smiled faintly and said, “I am no longer the Duke.”  

Xu Qing replied, “You are still my master.”  

“Leave it on the table.” Qin Jiang said.  

Xu Qing set down the chicken soup he had bought from outside on the table.  

Qin Jiang said mockingly, “After this incident, I’ve come to understand many things. I was the Duke Protector, the master of this entire residence, so why could Qin Canglan depose me so easily with just a word?”  

“Why?” Xu Qing asked.  

Qin Jiang sneered, 

“Because I have no actual power, particularly military authority. This old man is cunning. On the surface, he transferred the title of Duke Protector to me, but in reality, he still tightly grips the military authority. He used me as a shield, a target for everyone’s wrath.”

Xu Qing said, “I think the Old Master didn’t think like that.” 

Qin Jiang said grimly, “Hah, but that’s exactly what he did!”

Xu Qing did not respond further.

Qin Jiang opened the food container: 

“That’s alright. It’s better to see things clearly sooner rather than later. Have you gathered the information I requested?”

Xu Qing replied, “Yes.”

After Xu Qing reported everything in detail, Qin Jiang pondered for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter: 

“So that’s how it is.….. Qin Canglan.….. you should never expect… the heaven hasn’t abandoned me… the heaven hasn’t abandoned me—”
