"No, no, Yanran, listen to me..."
Gu Jinyu wanted to explain, but the emperor refused to listen.
"Gu Jinyu, you don't know how to judge people, and now you want to go back on your word?"
He almost suspected that he was blind. How could he let such a person become the Shangshu?
"I think you don't need to wear this official uniform anymore. From today on, go back to your hometown and farm."
Prime Minister Chen was originally watching, but when he saw the emperor was furious, he came out to plead for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Gu Jinyu has indeed committed a serious offense and deserves punishment, but Your Majesty, please be lenient with him in consideration of his diligence over the years."
When Prime Minister Chen spoke, many of his disciples followed suit and pleaded for mercy, kneeling down in a large group.
The emperor narrowed his eyes. These people are not good people!
"Then what does Minister Shen think should be done with Gu Jinyu?"
Minister Chen knew that the emperor was already angry, and if he did not severely punish Gu Jinyu, he was afraid that he would not be able to quench the emperor's anger.
"Gu Jinyu will be demoted three ranks and fined three years' salary!"
This could almost cost Gu Jinyu his life!
Gu Jinyu wanted to be promoted, but now he is demoted to the third rank. The Shangshu Mansion has been out of money for a long time, and his father-in-law wants to deduct his salary?
For three years, what did he eat and drink?
The emperor looked at Fubao, only to see little Fubao smiling at him.
Well, it seems that Fubao also thinks it is feasible.
"OK!"
Gu Jinyu and Shen Yunyun left in disgrace. The Shangshu Mansion was in ruins and no longer had the luxury of the past.
"Take down this plaque. This is no longer the Shangshu Mansion."
Gu Jinyu watched helplessly as the plaque was removed. The mansion became empty and bleak.
The servants came over and asked him to settle their wages.
"Sir, our family is in urgent need of money. Please settle our wages with us."
Gu Jinyu looked at Shen Yunyun, who was angry and spoke coldly.
"There's no money left in the mansion!"
In order to return Wang Yanran's dowry, all the valuable things in the mansion were taken away.
The servants started making a fuss and said they were going to file a complaint with the authorities.
Gu Jinyu's eyes went dark and he completely passed out.
"How could I have ever fallen for such a loser!"
Shen Yunyun was furious and kicked Gu Jinyu on the ground several times.
"Madam, husband and wife are one, you and the young lady are also one, you must make the Shangshu better no matter what."
Nanny Gui advised.
Shen Yunyun sighed: "What else can we do now? We can only go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for help."
When she was with Gu Jinyu, both Prime Minister Shen and Madam Shen disagreed, but she was determined and they had no choice but to let her get her wish.
However, Shen Sheng had made it clear that they should not seek help from the Xiangfu after getting married, and he would not help even if they asked for help.
Thinking about Shen Xiang asking for help today, Shen Yunyun felt that her father would not be so cruel.
When she arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Chen did not let anyone open the door. He just gave her a silver note of one thousand taels and said that he would no longer care about them.
One thousand taels was not enough for Shen Yunyun for half a month a few days ago.
But now, she has to use this one thousand taels to support herself for three years.
"Take care of yourself!"
This was the four-word advice that Minister Chen asked the doorman to give her.
When Gu Jinyu woke up, he knew that Shen Yunyun had gone to Shangshu Mansion for help. He had been waiting for her good news, but he only received one thousand and two silver notes.
"What's the use of such a small amount of money?"
Shen Yunyun gave him a cold look: “Then don’t use it!”
This useless man could not bring her wealth and glory, and he even complained that the money given by her parents was not enough.
After being married for many years, she had long seen through Gu Jinyu's selfishness. Today, he wanted to sacrifice her, which made her even more heartbroken.
If it weren't for Feng Xi, she would have divorced him long ago and would never have listened to his complaints.
"What are you talking about? How many good things have I sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years? Now that I'm in trouble, they only give me one thousand taels. Aren't they treating me like a beggar?"
"Aren't you going to return all the things you sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to Wang Yanran?"
Shen Yunyun was so angry that she almost laughed. Over the years, none of the things this man gave to the Prime Minister's Mansion were earned by him.
"I……"
Gu Jinyu choked, but quickly spoke with confidence.
"Well, no matter what, I'm their son-in-law. Don't they care about our friendship after all these years?"
Shen Yunyun was so angry that she laughed: "Friendship? What friendship? Friendship where you use the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion to seek benefits?"
The reason why Prime Minister Chen ignored them was also because Gu Jinyu was ignorant and used the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion to seek benefits.
"Why are your words so harsh? I seek benefits for myself, isn't it for you to live a good life?"
Shen Yunyun widened her eyes. She never expected that this man would so frankly blame the mistake on her.
Gu Jinyu continued, "If you hadn't slandered Yanran, how could I have regarded Fubao as a bastard? If Fubao were here, the Shangshu Mansion would surely be able to reach a higher level.
It’s all because of you, this vicious woman. You’ve harmed me…”
Shen Yunyun couldn't help it anymore: "Gu Jinyu, die!"
She picked up the vase beside her and threw it at Gu Jinyu.
Bang!
The vase shattered on Gu Jinyu's head. His body shook a few times and he fell into a deep sleep.
There was a hole in his head and blood kept flowing out, and there was no way to stop it.
"Ma'am, I'm afraid he's going to die."
Nanny Gui felt Gu Jinyu's nose in fear and found that he was breathing in less and out more.
Shen Yunyun was also startled: “Go get a doctor!”
A doctor was called in, but the bleeding on Gu Jinyu's head could not be stopped.
