Su Juan's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the ears of the cabinet scholar. His face had turned pale, but Su Juan on this side had not stopped yet.
[When you get drunk, you vomit all over the floor, and then go into your room and fall asleep. But he still remembers to help your wife clean up and comfort her. Look, how considerate! ]
[Now your wife has run away with someone else, you deserve it! ]
The cabinet scholar clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, veins bulging. At this moment, he no longer cared about the shame of being cuckolded in front of his colleagues. He just wanted to go back quickly and report to the police to catch the couple!
Bitch, you ran away with someone and even dared to kidnap his son!
[I also helped raise someone's son for two years, so this is retribution. ]
Everyone in the court was shocked: !!!
Oh my god, Mr. Wang’s two-year-old son is not his own! ?
As soon as Su Juan said this, the cabinet scholar trembled, his face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were extremely bloodshot due to anger, bitch!
The people watching the show around him looked at him with sympathy.
[He raised his brother’s son for two years, but he didn’t even know his wife ran off with someone else. If this was written in a storybook, it would definitely sell like hotcakes, right?] Su Juan clicked her tongue.
The cabinet scholar rolled up his sleeves and rushed out of the hall regardless of any obstruction...and did not even attend the morning court.
He will definitely chop that couple into pieces and feed them to the dogs today!
Seeing the cabinet scholar running away, Su Juan was surprised, "Hey, why did he run away? Didn't he go to court? He will be fined and beaten!"
Everyone: Why did he run away? Of course he ran to catch the adulterer!
[By now, the family of three should have left the city. Even if he returns home and finds them and chases after them, it will probably be too late.]
[First he discovered that his wife and son were missing, then he discovered that his wife and her best friend had cheated on him, then he was fined by the emperor for being absent from the morning court, and then he was beaten on the buttocks a few times... What an exciting day for Master Wang! ]
Su Juan was excited.
Colleagues in the court were also excited, but it was a pity that they could not witness such a big show with their own eyes. What a pity!
At this moment, the emperor entered the hall and the surroundings became quiet. Su Juan followed the huge crowd, knelt down, and bowed again.
The old emperor glanced at the people below, looking for a certain figure, but after glancing for a long time, he didn't see it, and immediately became suspicious: Could it be that he is so brave as not to come?
[Why haven’t you recovered yet? Do you have to kneel for so long? ]
In the silence, this voice was particularly loud.
The old emperor narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't see anyone, it didn't matter. Just being able to hear the voice was enough. He was satisfied and said, "Everyone, please stand up."
In a short while, those in front rushed to make reports, some talking about the disaster, some talking about a case in the capital.
Su Juan was sleepy. Thinking that no one noticed her, she yawned lazily and felt very bored.
Guangping Hou burst into tears: "Your Majesty, my son is just a child and doesn't understand much..."
[An 18-year-old giant baby? ]
There was a "puff" sound, and someone couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Guangping Hou continued to speak, "Your Majesty, it is common for playmates to quarrel during play, and minor fights are not intended to hurt others..."
[Oh, it seems that the son of Marquis Guangping often fights with other people for girls in Chunxianglou! ]
Marquis Guangping was almost ashamed, but he had only one son, and for the sake of this son he had to do anything to save his reputation.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to pay compensation of five hundred taels of silver to make up for the man my son injured!"
The old emperor was not clear about what happened. In the final analysis, it was the quarrels among those people below that led to things that were either exaggerated or deliberately covered up. He waved his hand and was about to say a few words to let the Dali Temple handle it directly, when he heard Su Juan exclaim!
[Good fellow, you want to settle the matter peacefully with just 500 taels?!]
[Old man! You are too stingy. I will give you 500 taels. Do you want me to beat your son to death? ]
The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Marquis Guangping, is it really just a minor injury?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Marquis Guangping having a son in his old age and doting on this son. If it were himself, if he had a child at this time, no matter whether it was a son or a daughter, he would definitely spoil him to the sky.
But no matter what, he shouldn't have indulged his son to this extent, beating someone else's son to death for a woman.
That was a real life! The Dali Temple also concealed the truth!
Just now he said that he was only slightly injured and the doctor said it was nothing serious. If it weren't for Su Juan, he, the emperor, would have been really confused today!
Guangping Hou's face turned pale, "Yes, he was seriously injured... Your Majesty, I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver as compensation to that family!"
Su Juan became even more excited, [Ten thousand taels of silver?!]
The emperor nodded slightly. The person was already dead, so some compensation was necessary. "This is still somewhat..."
[Check him! This guy must have embezzled the money!!!]
[It is likely that he accepted bribes! ]
[Ten thousand taels of silver! My son and his wife spend money outside every day, and the family has no property or shops, but there are still ten thousand taels of silver to be used as compensation. It's amazing! ]
Guangping Hou knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling, "Your Majesty! This old minister has only this one son. For him, this old minister is willing to compensate them with all my wealth. If I don't have my son, this old minister's wealth will be of no use to me! Your Majesty!"
When he cried out, people around him immediately felt some sympathy. Yes, as he was born in his old age and only had this precious baby, it was inevitable that Marquis Guangping would favor him more.
Even if all his fortune was sold, he would have so much silver. How could so many people accept bribes?
Su Juan is exaggerating too much.
[Tsk tsk tsk, only your son is a son, and other people’s sons are not. ]
[As for your wealth, people don't care about it. I just want justice for people. You are a marquis, but you always think about solving problems with money. Your son has been spoiled by you. ]
[If this wealth is really useless, then why donate it all! Everyone will definitely support it! ]
The emperor narrowed his eyes. Su Qing's words made sense!
The treasury needs to be expanded!
Guangping Hou burst into tears and had to start to play the victim, "Your Majesty, I am nearly sixty-five years old now, and I only have this one son..."
[The old emperor doesn't even have a son, but you at least have one. Are you trying to compare your misery to the old emperor? ]
[Besides, you are only sixty-five. You can take in a beautiful concubine and have another child. You are not an old emperor and you are not incapable of having children.]
emperor:"......"
The sound was a bit harsh.
The ministers lowered their heads and pretended not to hear what was said.
Guangping Hou continued to play the victim, with snot and tears, "Your Majesty, I only have this one son. If anything happens to him, I... I will not live any longer!"
[Wow, threatening the old emperor on the spot, how brave! ]
Guangping Hou's body trembled, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and have no intention of threatening you..."
[No, that's definitely not a threat. He really wants to die, so is he going to crash into this golden palace and die? ]
All the civil and military officials were silent: "......"
Old Emperor: “…”
