"I am really..." Liu Xinyue was filled with happiness and sadness. Her hand shook. "How can I be... no way, I am the daughter of the Liu family. How can I... my father and my mother... they are my parents."

Ming Shu was convinced by Liu Xinyue's acting.

With such acting skills, the director would have to reward her with a drumstick.

"Miss Xinyue, you have the token in your hand. There is no mistake," Eunuch Lu said. "You are the only descendant of the General Admiral."

"But I..." Liu Xinyue looked at the corpse on the floor. "My father..."

"Although Master Liu was not your biological father, he raised you for so many years. The case will be closed soon. Mister Zhou will not let go of the culprit even if someone tries to cover for her. Miss Xinyue, take the imperial decree. Once you take it, you will be an infanta."

Eunuch Lu didn't say that the status of an infanta was the same as Lord Cheng's. Even if the Cheng family was very powerful now, once the daughter of the General Admiral was found, could he still do what he wanted?

Liu Xinyue appeared to be fighting with her own thoughts. She kneeled down weakly after a long time.

Eunuch Lu nodded his head in satisfaction. He took the imperial decree that the eunuch behind him was holding and read it.

"By the grace of God, the late General Admiral was wronged..."

Ming Shu knew that Cheng Gui had no imperial decree on him. If he did, he would not just stay at the Liu residence without doing anything.

"...I feel very guilty and hence, I specially confer the daughter of the late General Admiral as Minghui Infanta."

Eunuch Lu finished reading and looked at Liu Xinyue. "Miss Xinyue, please thank the emperor."

Liu Xinyue's hands were damp with sweat. She would become an Infanta soon...

"Wait."

Liu Xinyue's heart jumped. She glanced over at the handsome man in white. "Eunuch Lu, we are not sure who this Infanta is."

"Lord Cheng, what do you mean?" Eunuch Lu gave a cold smile. "The token is here, will there be a mistake?"

Cheng Gui clapped his hands. Organized footsteps sounded outside the main hall. A troop wearing armor came in from the outside.

"Lord."

Eunuch Lu was so angry his face turned hideous. "Lord Cheng, how dare you privately use the Weiwu Army."

"What do you mean by privately using them? The Weiwu Army was formed by the General Admiral. They are here to welcome his daughter." Cheng Gui gave a mysterious smile. "Don't forget that there is still another half to the commander's seal of the Weiwu Army."

Eunuch Lu grabbed the token in his hand tightly.

This was the commander's seal.

Cheng Gui reached out his hand. A general passed him a yellow imperial decree. "I have an imperial decree with me too. Do you want to listen to it?"

Liu Xinyue felt that something bad was about to happen. However, there was nothing she could do in this situation.

These people were all too powerful... she was too small.

Eunuch Lu gritted his teeth and kneeled down.

The people that just got up kneeled down again.

Cheng Gui unrolled the imperial decree. He didn't look at Ming Shu and just read the decree directly.
