The Tyrannical Emperor Reborn Chapter 11 Part 2

The root of the matter was the marquis title. The imperial edict came from the Emperor himself, and the title was granted by the Emperor. But his mother, Madam Shen, foolishly believed that the title of marquis should have gone to his younger brother, Shen Qing.

Madam Shen was partial, quarrelsome, and sharp-tongued. She felt that Shen Nian was unfilial and unbrotherly and had a bad reputation, so she genuinely wanted Shen Nian to give up the title.

But Shen Nian was no pushover. He refused her outright and told her that if she was unhappy, she could take it up with the Emperor himself.

At sixteen, he'd been lonely—desolately, achingly lonely. When he'd gotten pregnant, he hadn't understood what was happening; he was still so naive. His life had been simple: work, work, and more work, day and night.

The villagers feared the Ma family. At first, a few kind-hearted aunties and fulangs had spoken up for him, but after the Ma family threatened them, they kept their distance. The other kids his age looked down on him too, and besides, he was always spinning like a top, working nonstop, isolated from everyone. No one taught him anything—no one told him what pregnancy was like.

Chapter 11

Shen Nian received the imperial order to present himself at the palace. Without a word of small talk, he stood up directly and silently followed Ruan Jiqing toward Qianhua Hall.

The Meridian Gate was some distance from Qianhua Hall. Along the way, his mind kept dwelling on the man Qi Junmu.

He and the Emperor had an unspoken understanding about today’s summons. Of course, this mutual understanding hadn’t existed from the start.

Chapter 357 

The villagers didn't know what had happened, but Zhou Ger had been doing business in Yuanzhou for nearly two years now, so he had some understanding of things.

Aside from Old Madam Ma and Old Master Ma, plus a few young boys, everyone else in the Ma family had been arrested.

They said the family had committed some offense, but the villagers didn't know the specifics.

Qi Junmu wasn't willing to show Wen family any face, but he had to give Lin Xiao some respect, so he didn't press the matter further.

He then discussed a few more trivial matters. When it came to Shen Nian submitting a memorial requesting three years of filial mourning leave to honor his late father, Qi Junmu refused, declaring on the spot that before the end of the year, he would issue an imperial edict naming Shen Nian as the heir to Marquis Zhenbei.

[Filial mourning leave (丁忧, dīng yōu): lit. to encounter sorrow; a mandatory, unpaid leave of absence required of officials following a parent's death. During this period, they cannot hold office, marry, take exams, or attend entertainment.]

The grandest place He Xi had ever been was Yuanzhou. If that couldn't compare, what kind of place must the capital be?

The officials wore such fine clothes, and even ordinary people dressed like that. The capital must be an incredible place.

They already thought it was amazing that Fang Zichen had gone so far. But now they learned he was even more impressive—greater than the county magistrate, able to see the emperor every day.

Chapter 10

The young imperial censor, named Guan Han, was questioned by the Emperor until his face turned red, and he had no idea what to say or do. Back in Emperor Jing's time, every day he stood in the court praying only that he wouldn't catch Emperor Jing's attention—how could he have dared to say even one extra word?

And it wasn't just him; everyone in the court felt the same way.

There had been people who wanted to change Emperor Jing's mind. What happened to them?
