Ruyi wanted to thank the emperor.

Although she can't do anything now, she believes in herself. In time, she will become the kind of person the emperor wants her to be.

Yan Weiyun was shocked and surprised. "If the emperor really arranges it this way, he must be a man of great vision! In this case, it seems that it is a good choice for this prince to enter the officialdom."

The emperor's magnanimity and vision made him put aside his arrogance and superiority after two thousand years and gradually begin to face this emperor squarely.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pingxin asked, "This year's palace examination is about to begin. Will Prince Yan participate?"

Yan Weiyun was silent for a moment.

Finally, I made up my mind, "Participate!"

Suddenly, he raised his head, his hair messy, but his eyes became firm and full of energy, "This prince will also go down in history!"

Minister Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Now, your father is happy."

He stood up and looked at Shen Ruyi, "Ruyi, you go with Pingxin to the black market to buy people. I will go to the palace to see the emperor."

"Father, take care."

Ruyi bowed.

"Well, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow!"

Minister Xiao raised his hand and touched her head.

Outside the door.

Shen Cangyun had just returned from the palace. He staggered up the stairs and saw this scene at the door. His heart was broken.

He was also thinking about having a good talk with Shen Ruyi and taking her home.

But she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she had called another man father, and that man was actually full of love for her.

Looking more closely, he turned out to be the Minister of War of the current dynasty!

Could it be that Minister Xiao will become the Prime Minister next?

So in the end, Ruyi is still the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the original Prime Minister's Mansion is on the verge of collapse, and Shen Cangyun is also reduced to his original form and becomes an ordinary Yuanwailang?

Shen Cangyun's heart trembled, he staggered forward to block the door, stared at Ruyi and said in a trembling voice: "Ruyi, Dad is sorry for you! Dad apologizes to you!"

"But how can you call someone else father?"

His eyes were filled with tears.

Ruyi looked up at him.

Shen Cangyun was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, and he seemed to have aged many years, even with white hair on his temples.

He looked at himself with eyes full of pain.

But when Ruyi saw this expression, she no longer had any emotional fluctuations.

She came back to her senses and said indifferently: "The emperor has ordered that I no longer have any relationship with the Shen family, and I will no longer use the surname Shen. Three days later, I will enter the Shangshu Mansion and become the only daughter of the Xiao family."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shen Cangyun's face, as if he was looking at a stranger, "From now on, please don't come to see me again, you and I are like strangers, and we will never have anything to do with each other."

A girl of only sixteen years old.

Such words were spoken so calmly that they seemed as if they came from a sixty-year-old.

Shen Cangyun was hurt by such calmness.

He once hated the sight of her crying and begging for his love, but now he missed that little girl so much.

"As one wishes!"

He staggered and almost fainted.

He barely managed to hold onto the door frame, then he said in a trembling voice: "Ruyi, after all, I am your biological father!"

"Han Tan repaid my kindness yesterday. Although I was not the one who died, you were definitely targeting me when you killed her. The bodies of the Six Gentlemen of Pinghu are still in the morgue of the Jingzhao Yin Yamen."

Ruyi looked at him, her heart already firmly set on the future, unwilling to look back at the past even once, "The relationship between you and me as father and daughter has long been severed."

"From now on, please don't bother me."

After saying that, he looked directly at Han Jiang and said, "See you out."

"Mr. Shen, please."

Han Jiang stepped forward and stopped Shen Cangyun.

Shen Cangyun couldn't move and stared at Shen Ruyi.

After Ruyi ignored him, he looked at Minister Xiao and said, "Minister Xiao, how can you be willing to take someone else's children?"

Minister Xiao is not a pushover either.

Hearing this, he snorted coldly, "Why should I be unwilling? At least I won't harm her. If Mr. Shen is dissatisfied, he can go to the palace and ask the emperor."

"Not to mention that I like Ruyi very much, even if the emperor has issued an imperial decree, I cannot disobey him."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "I also want to thank Yuanwailang for sending such a lucky star to me."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

These words are heartbreaking.

Shen Cangyun stared at his back, his eyes almost bleeding.

The Ziwei lucky star should have belonged to him, Shen Cangyun!

But now...

It was he who ruined it all with his own hands. It was he who gave such a great blessing to the Xiao family.

Regret buried him like a tide.

At the same time, fear also came.

When he was the prime minister, he was arrogant and offended many people.

Now that he was kicked down from the clouds, naturally countless feet would fall on him.

He has to endure it all.

And now that the emperor has sent Ruyi into the Xiao family, doesn’t that mean that Minister Xiao will become the next prime minister?

For a moment, Shen Cangyun was a little dazed.

Ruyi had already packed up, and she and Xiao Pingxin came to the door, "Please, Mr. Shen, please don't block my way."

Shen Cangyun came back to his senses and looked at her.

He couldn't walk, "Ruyi, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Ruyi interrupted him, "Please respect yourself."

Shen Cangyun: “…”

Han Jiang thought he was in the way and pulled him away.

Ruyi and Shen Cangyun passed each other and went downstairs without looking back. Xiao Pingxin followed closely.

Jing San followed and provided close protection.

Shen Cangyun stared blankly at the moon-white figure disappearing downstairs. A sense of panic that he would never be able to touch it again filled his heart, but he could do nothing about it.

Now that everyone had left, he could only go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first.

But he was a little confused. When he entered the palace, didn't he ask Shen Yu and others to ask Shen Ruyi for forgiveness?

Why is there no one here?

However, as soon as he went downstairs, he was met with a wave of pointing and talking.

"The Shen family father and son are so shameless. When Ruyi was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, they didn't take her seriously and even tried to kill her! Now, they still dare to come here with a shameless face?"

"How did you become the prime minister before with this kind of thing?"

"That's right. They have such a lucky star in their hands, but they just push it away! From now on, the Xiao family will be prosperous!"

"Lord Xiao can wake up laughing even in his dreams!"

"People like Shen Cangyun should go to hell! If he is still in the position of prime minister, who knows how distorted the people's morals will be in the future!"

"Yes, yes. We have just come out of the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood. If someone like him were to sit in the position of prime minister, I am afraid that it won't be long before everyone will have to eat their own children again!"

"vomit!"

“…”

Chaotic insults were thrown at Shen Cangyun without restraint, but he had already lost the dignity to stop it all.

In this capital city where fifth-rank officials are everywhere, he, who is a sixth-rank official, is not important enough. If he accidentally bumps into the wrong person when he goes out and gets beaten up, he will have no place to complain.

Reality is so cruel.

Shen Cangyun staggered back to the Shen family with one foot deep and one foot shallow, tears streaming down his face, "Success is as I wish! Failure is as I wish! Hahahaha——"

He cried and laughed, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood at the doorstep, splattering all over the door.

"master!"

The gatekeeper was stunned, his heart skipped a beat as he looked at the bloodstains on the vermilion gate!

An ominous sign!

The rich man’s house is stained with blood, which is an ominous sign!

Is the Shen family really going to collapse?
