[It's probably true now, because his wife has already asked her family to help her get a divorce. Because of that illness, if it weren't for her family bringing medicine, she would have been dead by now.]
[How pitiful! To encounter such a scumbag. I must warn all my sisters: if you encounter this situation, run away immediately, because he will kill you.]
"Then tell me what that little sister did?" Everyone wanted to hear what the little sister had done, but Ji Yingying remained silent.
【We can go watch the show later. If you don't have time, just save it and I'll continue watching when I'm free. I'm not happy that this scumbag is living such a good life in his private life.】
Okay, let's save this.
Why haven't these people started arresting anyone yet? What are they all doing gathered here?
This isn't just for your benefit; they've already arrested two people, so they can be certain that they won't be promoted.
[Go on, they're busy with their own things anyway.]
Rong Yi and Minister Hong were both pretending to be busy, but they were busy very quickly and seemed a little overwhelmed.
There's a traitor out there, do you think we should arrest him?
Arrest them! Traitors! Why aren't you arresting them?
The lady's husband is still guarding the city, but a venomous snake has appeared beside him, and that snake intends to kill the general. This involves the prince and the struggle for the throne.
What? Which prince is still vying for the throne?
[Prince He, the emperor's brother, has his fiefdom in a distant province. Knowing that the emperor has seen through his other schemes, he has gathered some of the people left behind by Princess Qi, as well as resources left by the Xiao family. Now, with an army of 100,000, he plans to use the border as a breakthrough point to kill the current emperor and ascend the throne himself.]
[He's quite an adult, isn't it tiring to do this kind of shady business?]
[They're happy with it; even if they don't become emperor themselves, their sons will inherit the throne.]
[Are you crazy? What if the son isn't even his own? Wouldn't that be like doing all the work for someone else?]
[Heh, host, you're really smart. He's definitely not his biological son; he can't have children. All his children are the result of being cuckolded.]
[Ah? These two brothers are truly remarkable. The emperor raises a child for someone else, and they raise a child for someone else too, even giving away their own possessions. What a magnanimous spirit!]
[This is none of your business. Why are you meddling in other people's affairs? If you want to live well, you need to establish correct values. Who said that? What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with him?]
Oh my, you're so good at comforting people.
[That's right, the big melons are all gone, let's eat some private melons.]
[Loofah? It makes a pretty good soup with eggs, and it's also good stir-fried with pork.]
[Hey, what kind of loofah is that? Can I eat it?]
【No, hehe~】Ji Yingying's laughter had a strong sense of slyness.
Alas! That old lady, she had a fight with her half-sister when she was young.
[Domestic power struggles?]
Yes, they used every dirty trick in the book back then—poisoning, framing, and so on. Those are the kinds of methods that are essential in power struggles within a family. Most importantly, one side wanted to profit from the national crisis, while the other wanted to save the people from disaster.
Tell me about it.
Her half-sister, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, coupled with her own favoritism, had been plotting against her since childhood, the most egregious being letting an outsider into her room. However, she managed to eliminate him. One scheme failed, another arose; wherever there were people, there was a place for her to perform, truly a model of a hypocrite.
Finally, she got engaged to her current husband, who held a high-ranking official position as a general. Then, her half-sister started causing trouble again, actually getting the fourth prince to devise a plan to poison the people of an entire city. As a result, the fourth prince was brought down, and her half-sister was executed.
I still remember when the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, there was indeed an epidemic. At that time, everyone thought it was a natural disaster, but we never expected it to be a man-made one.
She saved many lives, which is a great act of merit. However, these things are quite private, and no one knows that she went to save people.
[This is a scheme where the younger sister wants to profit from the national crisis, while the older sister secretly tries to save the people from disaster. Moreover, her medical skills are no less than the host's, and may even be superior.]
[That's how you saved so many people? You're a good person!]
Yes, yes...
"Guards, drag these people out!" Minister Hong suddenly ordered, ordering the man surnamed Bu to be dragged out.
[Hmm? So they found out that General Bu got his position through bribery by bandits?]
[It should be, you see, he likes hunting, and every time he hunts, he likes to strip naked and run around in the woods.]
【Huh? Won't the people around him laugh at him to death?】
He doesn't allow anyone to follow him. A few years ago, he was injured while running naked in the woods, which has affected his ability to have children. However, he already has two sons of his own.
And then there's him, he likes to smell his armpits, and sometimes he even deliberately seeks out people with body odor to hang out with.
This is... a quirk!
He likes to fart, but when it's quiet around him, he doesn't dare to let out a fart, afraid that others will hear it. So he holds it in and lets it out little by little so that no one will know.
"Seriously? Wouldn't the area around him stink?"
Not necessarily. He's been doing this for years; he knows the whole process of farting by now.
[That one likes to eat pig slop, not pig feed...]
There's no pig feed in this world.
[Hehe, it's the kind of food you cook for pigs. He felt he was too thin for a military general and needed to be fatter and stronger, so he heard that eating pig feed makes you fat, and that's why he ate it.]
[You really listened to advice!]
At some point, a large pile of sunflower seeds appeared at Ji Yingying's feet. After confirming that no one was acting strangely, Minister Hong finally dismissed the others.
He then said, "Ji San, let's go and report to the Emperor."
"Aren't we still in court right now?"
[You're all just slacking off here, why bother going to the Hall of Diligent Governance to work hard? It'll be exhausting.]
"Hehe, let's go, the Emperor must be getting impatient."
They went to the Hall of Diligent Governance one after the other. After reading the memorials, the Emperor was very satisfied. The Ministry of War was finally free of trouble.
"You two ministers have done very well, reward them!"
Upon hearing the word "reward," Ji Yingying's eyes widened. She already had no shortage of gold and silver jewelry. However, Ji Yingying still stretched out her chubby little hand and looked at the Emperor with a smile.
"Is there anything I can help you with, my dear minister?"
"Your Majesty, since you're going to bestow a reward, why not give it to someone I like?"
Ji Cailiang stared at her from the side, his expression seeming to say: If you dare to say another word, his Buddha's Palm will strike you.
Unfortunately, Ji Yingying couldn't see it. When she heard the Emperor respond, she immediately covered her eyes... pretending to wipe away tears, and said, "My old mother has never received an imperial title in her life. I feel terrible. Although my father earned this title, he sweats profusely whenever he sees a stranger. I worry that my father will not be able to earn an imperial title for my mother."
