Chapter 362 You are the Shanglin Office Commander appointed by me personally
Even if you don't pay attention to Shen Huazheng on purpose, things related to her will occasionally enter your ears.
It would be fine if Shen Huazheng had just been doing business, no matter how much money she made or how many achievements she made.
None of those will have much impact on the Ye family.
At most you'll just be laughed at.
No matter how wealthy Chen Huazheng was, or whether he had obtained a title and fiefdom, those had little to do with the Ye family.
Just don't listen or watch.
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Ye Hong still had a hard time.
He understood that he had to keep a low profile at this time and not let anyone find fault with him.
Ye Hong is not only cautious in everything, but also restrains the younger generation in the family and prevents them from causing trouble outside.
They were also not allowed to patronize the food businesses under Shen Huazheng's name, and the Ye family was not allowed to discuss them privately.
But no matter how the Ye family tried to cover up the truth, Shen Huazheng's exceptional entry into the court still caught Ye Hong off guard.
At that time, when he saw a group of officials supporting Shen Huazheng at the morning court, especially when he saw his superiors competing with the Minister of Agriculture for Shen Huazheng, Ye Hong had a bad feeling.
As he expected, his days in the Ministry of Industry became increasingly difficult.
Some colleagues who usually have conflicts with him would find opportunities to ridicule Ye Hong from time to time, and said that Shen Huazheng must not have chosen to go to the Ministry of Industry because she did not want to work with the Ye family.
Even Lord Xiao began to feel dissatisfied with him.
He thought he had hit bottom, but he didn't expect to continue falling.
Now he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, with no one to help him.
If we allow the situation to continue as it is, it will be a bottomless abyss.
Not only was Ye Hong having a hard time in the Ministry of Industry, the situation of other members of the Ye family was also not good.
Showing goodwill to the Shen family in front of everyone was the only way Ye Hong could think of to quickly get out of the predicament.
Apart from this, there was nothing he could do.
He had figured it out. They couldn't get through it on their own.
If the Shen family is willing to make peace, the Ye family's crisis can be resolved.
Shen Zhaonian sneered, "In order not to delay your son's search for a good match, the Shen family took the initiative to break off the engagement. When they broke off the engagement, they also made it very clear that our two families would no longer have any contact. Afterwards, the Shen family never complained to the Ye family. Why are you acting like this today?"
When Zheng'er was seriously ill, he did have the intention to kill Ye Linghuai.
But later Zheng'er woke up and the two families cancelled the engagement.
The Shen family did not take any retaliatory action, but simply withdrew their support for the Ye family.
Logically speaking, the Ye family has received a lot of benefits from the Shen and Zhou families over the years, and they should have stopped while they were ahead.
However, the Ye family acted as if they had been wronged in front of others, making others think that the Shen family had done something to them.
Ye Hong's face turned pale and he was about to explain.
However, Shen Zhaonian had already turned to look at Ye Linghuai and asked sternly, "The Chen and Ye families have already cancelled their engagement, and you have a lovely wife by your side. But now you are telling my daughter about disappointment. What do you want to do?!"
Chen Keting also stared at Ye Linghuai and said coldly: "Don't you know what it means that trouble comes from the mouth, Mr. Ye San?"
The brothers Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng also glared at Ye Linghuai fiercely, the anger in their eyes seemed to devour him.
The Ye family is so shameless, especially Ye Linghuai.
The engagement was broken off eight hundred years ago, yet he's still trying to get close to Zheng'er.
It seems that I was too lenient at the beginning and should have beaten him to death.
The continuous questioning from Shen Zhaonian and Shen Keting already made Ye Linghuai feel breathless. After seeing the looks in the eyes of the brothers Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng, he was so scared that his legs went weak.
When Shen Huazheng fell into the water, he was beaten a lot by the Shen brothers and Zhou Zeyan.
If we anger them again this time, they might take action again.
Ye Linghuai was at a loss: "I, I just..."
He stammered and was unable to speak, and the onlookers at the table also began to whisper -
"This Ye family is really too unkind. They humiliated the Shen family and caused Little Master Shen to become seriously ill. They didn't do anything to them, they just broke off the engagement. But they showed up at the palace banquet to cause trouble for the Shen family."
"That's right, especially Ye San. He was clearly wrong before, but now that he has married his beloved, he still feels uneasy and wants to bring himself to blame Master Shen. He also said things like 'letting down' and 'the past', and he does all kinds of things to destroy people's reputation."
"I guess he regretted it now that he saw how powerful Master Shen was. That's why he did this."
"Fortunately, we all know the inside story, otherwise we would have been easily fooled by those words."
"Maybe we are all being plotted against. They want to use us to force the Shen family to swallow their anger."
"You know what, this possibility is quite possible. The Ye family is really corrupt, and no one in it is good."
Zhou Zeyan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Although they were in the same Ministry of Industry, he did not put any obstacles in Ye Hong's way.
After all, it was Ye Linghuai who behaved like a fool in the first place, so just beat him up a few times.
But Ye Hong and his sons acted like this at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, making it seem as if the Shen family was bullying them. It was really hateful.
He was about to step forward but was stopped by Grand Tutor Zhou.
Zhou Zeyan was puzzled: "Grandfather?"
Grand Tutor Zhou patted his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty will be here soon."
Zhou Zeyan was even more confused: "Your Majesty?"
Grand Tutor Zhou just smiled and said, "Just wait and see."
He looked at the Ye family father and son, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Ye Hong wanted to use the New Year's Eve palace banquet to force the Shen family to stop caring about the past, but unfortunately, they had the wrong idea.
The eldest son of the Ye family could feel the gazes of those around him and felt very embarrassed, with his face turning red and white.
He glared at Ye Linghuai hatefully. It was all his third brother's fault. He made them all embarrassed here.
Ye Hong sighed in his heart and immediately changed his strategy.
"Brother Shen misunderstood. I just couldn't bear to see the friendship between the Chen and Ye families destroyed in our hands. That's why I wanted to take this opportunity to seek Brother Shen's forgiveness."
As he said this, he looked at Chen Huazheng again, with an earnest expression: "I already know that I was wrong about what happened back then. I hope the county lady can forgive him and let this matter go."
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Just as my father said, our two families broke off the engagement in order to let your son marry his sweetheart. Afterwards, the Shen family never embarrassed your son and the Ye family on any occasion. I wonder what Lord Ye thinks is the best way to cover up this matter?"
Ye Hong choked when he heard this. He had originally wanted to bypass the old fox Shen Zhaonian and start with Shen Huazheng.
Who knew it was also a little fox.
The people around started whispering again——
"The Shen family was very respectable at the beginning. Ye San ignored Little Shen for his beloved, but the Shen family did nothing to him. Instead, they cancelled the engagement to help him and set him free. Now the Ye family is still here begging others to cover up this matter. How can they have the face to do so?"
"That's right. If it weren't for the relationship between the two families, the Shen family would definitely not give up. Even so, the Ye family is still not satisfied?"
"Of course they are not satisfied. The marriage with the Shen family brought them so many benefits. Without those benefits, they are naturally reluctant to give up."
"I was wondering why they did this. It turns out they were thinking about the benefits of the Shen family. How shameless."
"It would be fine if they are reluctant to give up the help from the Shen family, but the Ye family wants to force the Shen family to continue to help them. They are really shameless!!"
"And they're using the New Year's Eve as an excuse. How unlucky."
The eldest son of the Ye family listened to those words with his face flushed and he almost wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
How shameful!!
Ye Linghuai didn't know what he was thinking, his face was sometimes dejected, sometimes regretful.
It's not that Ye Hong didn't hear these words, he also felt the obscure and strange looks around him.
But now he was under fire and had no choice but to continue with his original plan.
Ye Hong took a deep breath and was about to say something else.
A deep and majestic voice suddenly sounded -
"What are you doing?"
Everyone present was startled and looked up, only to find that it was Emperor Jingning and the Empress.
When did His Majesty and the Queen arrive?
Why did they come to the temple but there was no movement at all?
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Queen."
Surprised, everyone knelt down and saluted respectfully.
"Everyone, get up."
Emperor Jingning asked everyone to stand up and glanced at the seats where the Shen family was seated as if unintentionally.
"What were you doing?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he looked at Andy Ann again.
An Desheng had already learned the whole story from the palace servants serving in the palace.
He came to Emperor Jingning and told him the whole story.
Emperor Jingning's face darkened, and his eyes, as sharp as a knife, were cast at the Ye family father and son, making them tremble with fear.
He quickly looked at Shen Huazheng again——
"Mr. Chen, you must remember that you are the Shanglin Office Commander appointed by me personally. You only need to report your daily work to me and the Sinong Temple. Apart from me and Mr. Sinong, no one else has the right to ask you to do anything."
Shen Huazheng: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Hong's heart tightened, as His Majesty's words were a warning to them.
Just now he had been calling Chen Huazheng the county lord, subconsciously trying to ignore her official status.
Although Shen Huazheng's official rank was not high, she was the only female official in the court after all.
To be honest, the weight of the Shanglin Office Order is much heavier than that of the county lord.
When His Majesty arrived, he emphasized that Shen Huazheng was personally appointed as the Shanglin Office Commander by him, which was obviously a warning to those who were disrespectful to Shen Huazheng.
For example, him and other people in the Ye family.
Mr. Huang did not show any expression on his face, but he straightened his back subconsciously.
The people who have been eating melons: …
I don’t know why, but I always feel like I have been warned.
His Majesty seemed to be saying that they had no right to ask Lord Shen to do anything.
But they didn't ask her to do anything.
