The "great fire" in Jiangning burned for half a month before finally coming to an end.
From the majestic Ren Shou Palace, fortified by grand formations, came a single decree.
The Jiangning Xie Family was stripped of its "inherited without replacement" privilege, their title lowered, and their stipend punished.
This punishment was undeniably severe.
Yet for those noble lords and heroes "watching the drama," it was still slightly disappointing… The sole heir of the Jiangning Xie Family had already perished during the Northern Hunt in Great Yue Kingdom. Now, Ren Shou Palace's act of revoking the Xie Family's "inherited without replacement" status seemed a bit redundant.
Nevertheless, this was an extremely critical signal.
