?Chapter 296: Chapter 296 The Fall and Ennoblement of the Xiao Family (2)_1 Chapter 296: Chapter 296 The Fall and Ennoblement of the Xiao Family (2)_1 For example, the Xiao family, in their pursuit of glory and wealth, heartlessly sold Xiao Wanxue to Prince Su as a concubine, despite her being already betrothed.
For example, Xiao Mingyan plotted to cause the loss of Xiao Mingya’s unborn child, while Xiao Mingya in turn secretly administered Sterility Powder to Xiao Mingyan.
For example, Old Master Xiao and his legitimate sons took bribes and participated in corrupt practices such as buying and selling official appointments, forming cliques for selfish gains, and even showing utter disregard for human life.
Suddenly, insults and denunciations surged toward the Xiao family like a tide, affecting the entire Xiao family clan.
The members of the Xiao family were thrown into panic and rage, all rushing to the Clan Leader’s residence, demanding that the Clan Leader severely punish the Xiao family to salvage the clan’s reputation.
The poor Patriarch of the Xiao family was bedridden at this moment. He had learned through special channels that the reason the Xiao family’s scandals had suddenly been exposed was all because Old Master Xiao went to Anping County and threatened Xiao Hongtao to attribute the credits for the two harvests of wheat and rice to Xiao Hongquan. The Emperor had strictly ordered that this matter not be disclosed, and although it hadn’t spread, the Emperor must certainly know about it by now. Not knowing how the Emperor would deal with the Xiao family, the Patriarch fell ill as soon as he heard the news.
The Xiao family descended into chaos too. The families of Old Lady Xiao and several daughters-in-law loudly declared their separation from them, fearing the Xiao family’s infamy would taint their own houses. Several daughters were directly cast off by their husbands’ families and returned home, where they cried and created an uproar all day.
