Mu Chen's words not only give others a shock, even Situ Xuan was surprised.

“Chen??” Situ Xuan stared at him, her eyes were wide and filled with doubt.

“If you want to get back those things, you have to get married. Anyway, we'll be getting married sooner or later.” Mu Chen looked at Situ Xuan and said seriously.

Getting married means that she will become his, and she could also get what she wanted, isn’t that good?

Situ Xuan thought a little about it and felt that it was quite reasonable so she nodded in agreement: “Alright.”

Xiao Qi Feng looked at how the two interact and knew that they must like each other, so he said: “Very well, I’ll write the imperial edict.” While saying that, he took a pen and started writing, at the same time stated, he stated that all of Situ Xuan’s mother’s dowry was to be returned to her.

“Thank you, Brother Qi Feng.”

When Situ Sheng rushed to the palace, he saw that Situ Meng was already beaten brutally.

After seeing his arrival, Situ Meng had a little joy on her face: “Father, save me, Situ Xuan wants my life, you mustn’t let her off.”

“Shut up.” Situ Sheng looked at her daughter in disgust, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and hatred. She still dared to talk nonsense.

Compared with Situ Xuan, she was basically a waste.

Since young, Situ Xuan had been brought up well. She had a gentle and generous personality, she was also impeccable. Situ Meng was simply not comparable with her.

Situ Meng was already in great pain, she had thought that Situ Sheng was here for her, but he actually sounded so impatient: “Father, now that the tart is back, you’re going to ignore me?”

“It seems that you still haven’t learned your lesson. Who told you to speak? You should know when you should speak and when you should keep quiet.” Xiao Qi Tian and the rest came out at this moment and heard what Situ Meng said. His face immediately became dark.

Xiao Qi Tian's voice was a nightmare for Situ Meng: "I know I’m wrong, Your Highness please forgive me." She didn’t want to suffer any more beating.

“Continue.” Xiao Qi Tian glared coldly at Situ Meng, who wouldn’t stop crying and his lips slightly twitched.

“Prince Qi, Meng'er is just a child, this…”

“What? Uncle Situ, are you saying that this punishment is too serious?” Since the death of their aunt, Situ Xuan was forced out from her home and was treated poorly.

Situ Sheng quickly shook his head: “I don’t dare.”

“Then what are all of you waiting for? Beat her.” Xiao Qi Tian looked at the guards on the side and demanded with anger.

Obviously, they wouldn’t dare to violate Xiao Qi Tian’s order, so they quickly beat her.

The tingling pain on Situ Meng's face unbearable, she pleaded for mercy: "Your Highness, I’m also your cousin after all, why are you doing this to me?"

“Cousin? How come I don’t remember our aunt giving birth to a daughter like you? You’re just a low-lying child of a concubine. You really think too highly of yourself.” Xiao Qi Tian satirically looked at Situ Meng.

Situ Meng hated the most when other people called her a child of a concubine, she shouted: “I am not a child of a concubine, I am the Miss of Situ family, I am not a child of a concubine.”

“Oh? It seems that there are still many things that I don’t know. Since Uncle Situ is here, then I shall not trouble him, Situ Sheng, I'll pass the imperial edict to you.” Xiao Qi Tian glanced at Situ Meng for less than a second, then he turned his gaze to Situ Sheng. His tone of voice changed which made Situ Sheng have a bad feeling.

The edict was to approve Situ Xuan’s marriage, of course, he did not know about this at all. In fact, at the bottom of the edict also stated that all Situ Sheng’s wife’s dowry would be for Situ Xuan.

Situ Sheng's eyes were filled with horror. In the past few years, Situ family ran a huge family business, and most of it was supported by the dowry left behind. Those things had already been used, they could only return at most half of it.

“Your Highness, this…this…”

“What? Uncle Situ, don't tell me you don't have enough money? Or is it that after aunt’s death, her dowry was stolen by all of you? If I'm mistaken, that time, aunt said that all her dowry was to be left for Xuan Xuan. Why, Uncle Situ, did you forget about it?”
