"That's right! He is the Minister of Rites, but he teaches his son like this."

"I don't know whether Miss Mu is lucky or unlucky."

Mu Jijiu was so angry that he wanted to rush up and hit someone at any time. He was drunk and slammed the table, pointed at Du Shilang and shouted, "Du! Your family is too bullying!"

There was already some chaos going on below. The empress glanced at the emperor. The emperor was drinking and squinting his eyes. He obviously had no intention of stopping it and just let these ministers make a fuss.

Lian Shaoqing sneered, "We are really unworthy of Minister Du's ability to discipline his son."

The people around him also echoed, "Minister Du, let us say that you still need to be more careful in disciplining your son."

"Yes, raising children is no small matter..."

Minister Du snorted coldly, "Why do you have to say more about the child's affairs? I will certainly be more restrained!"

After hearing this, Su Juan almost died of laughter.

[It is better to restrain yourself than to restrain your son! 】

[Your son is like this, isn't it you as the father who set the example first? ]

The guests' eyes widened. Could it be that this Minister of Rites was involved in some scandal?

Many people stared at the screen, as if they were trying to urge Su Juan through the screen. They were anxious in their hearts. Why did Su Juan always leave his words half-sent?

The Minister of Rites seemed to be strangled by someone, his hands tightly grasping the wine glass, feeling panic. It was impossible, impossible, how could Su Juan, a woman in seclusion, know...

However, his heart was uneasy, and even the teacup shook along with his hand.

The emperor was also curious and grabbed the table, then he remembered that there were no melon seeds.

Suddenly felt sorry.

The queen standing by always felt that the emperor's temper had changed a little since he had Su Juan. If it were in the past, he would have been furious if his ministers had been so noisy.

Everyone below was very anxious and hoped that Su Juan would answer their questions as soon as possible.

[You, as a father, have seven or eight mistresses outside. Your son has learned this from you. You will soon have a grandson. It is a family tradition. I am afraid you are very happy in your heart. Why do you still need to control me? ]

Everyone's eyes widened. This, this, this——

"The Minister of Rites is almost seventy years old!"

"Oh my god! You're still so noisy."

"This one concubine is not enough, he has seven or eight more? This family is rich enough!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes. A wealthy family?

Minister Du's legs went limp, his face turned red and white, "Nonsense! It's all nonsense!"

[He felt it was a pity. Many of the seven or eight concubines had died, all of them due to dystocia...]

Minister Du felt a chill in his heart!

Liu Miaoqing drank tea and glanced at Su Juan.

Su Juan was still eating cakes, occasionally looking up at the screen, and then continuing to eat. Who would have thought that she was the one who messed up the situation across the street.

[Mrs. Du arranged for the quack doctors to do this behind the scenes. They used many sinister methods. He later found out about this, but he didn't dare to offend his wife, so he pretended not to know. One was committing a sin, and the other was pretending to be deaf and dumb. They were a perfect match.]

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Mrs. Du! What a sin!

The emperor frowned, thinking of the fact that he was now childless. Although Minister Du was wrong, the child was innocent after all. Madam Du was really cruel.

[When he was young, he needed the support of Mrs. Du's family. He kept saying that they would be together for life, and he coaxed Mrs. Du into giving him some ability. He then forgot about his wife who had married him and shared his hardships...]

"I thought that Mr. Du and Mrs. Du had a very good relationship, but it turned out to be all superficial!"

"Earlier, I used this Du Lord and his wife as an example for my sister and brother-in-law. How unlucky! Bah, bah, bah!"

[The couple has killed many people! In the backyard of the Du Family Manor, ten miles outside the city, there are still bloody corpses buried there!]

"The child is so innocent!"

"This couple are not human..."

The emperor coughed, pretending to be ignorant, but with a hint of displeasure, he said coldly: "My dear ministers, why are you making such a fuss!"

Su Juan subconsciously raised her head, [Oh, is the Emperor going to settle accounts with the Minister of Rites? ]

[Yes, how much money has he embezzled in the past few years? He used it to buy houses and support his mistresses. The land in the capital is not cheap. How could the emperor not know about it? He is probably waiting to punish him.]

Everyone was shocked: Corruption! ?

How dare the Minister of Rites do that!

His Majesty is so wise that nothing can escape his eyes and ears.

The emperor snorted and flicked his sleeves. Of course, I have ears and eyes all over the world, how could I not know?

He sent people out of the city to the Du family's farm outside the city, determined to dig up evidence.

The Vice Minister of Rites usually loved to preach, and had offended many of his colleagues. Now that his fault had been exposed, everyone immediately seized upon it and one by one, they told the Vice Minister's story in a way that exaggerated the details.

These colleagues were very talented in writing. Their words seemed light and airy, but each one was thought-provoking and pushed Minister Du into that trap again and again.

Stones were thrown down one by one.

Especially Mu Jijiu, every word he said was heart-wrenching and made people feel sad and angry.

The old emperor frowned, "Does Lord Du have anything to say in defense?"

The Minister of Rites staggered and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty! I was a little sentimental, but I never beat or insulted those women. It was my wife who did the evil. I was not aware of it! I hope Your Majesty can see clearly!"

Mrs. Du was not feeling well today and did not come to the banquet.

The old emperor waved his hand, signaling the people around him to bring Madam Du into the palace.

Su Juan had finished the pastry in front of her. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, but still felt it was not enough.

When the queen saw that the plates in front of Su Juan were empty, she asked someone to bring two more plates of pastries to Su Juan.

Su Juan liked her very much, and somehow, she just wanted to be nice to this child.

Su Juan narrowed her eyes, [The Queen is such a good person, it should be said that the old emperor has good vision.]

The old emperor was very pleased with this.

[It's a pity that they have no children. They were too cautious in choosing the crown prince... Alas, the Du family couple killed innocent children like this. It's really infuriating to compare with them. ]

The queen's eyes darkened and her heart sank.

A chill appeared in the old emperor's eyes.

Having no children has always been a pain in his heart. Mrs. Du did such evil things, and Minister Du even condoned his wife to commit such evil deeds. It was really hateful!

Liu Miaoqing cleared her cough and changed the subject to chat with Su Juan, fearing that she would continue to think like this and get into trouble.

Mrs. Du was brought up soon and the bones were dug up. The couple was afraid of death and started quarreling in the court. Their voices were so sharp that the old emperor's ears hurt.

The old emperor could no longer tolerate this and threw the couple into jail on the spot, waiting for the murder to be solved and evidence of Minister Du's corruption to be found before he could punish him.

However, all the court officials knew that Minister Du was doomed this time.

Su Juan never thought that attending a banquet would not only offer so many delicious foods, but also allow her to watch such a big show. It was a great deal!

[You should go out more often in the future, otherwise it would be a pity to miss a big show like today, right? ]

[But it's strange. Logically speaking, Minister Du shouldn't have gotten into trouble so early. Miss He is still waiting to get married, but now it seems that she won't be able to get married.]

Liu Miaoqing: “…”
