Chapter 238 Another Trick
“My Lord, although I am not drunk, I heard everything Miss Yu said clearly. She first framed the Crown Prince and his concubines, which showed her dissatisfaction with the marriage granted by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Then she slandered my Lord, which was simply treason.
The Minister of Rites must give an explanation for raising such a daughter. As the Imperial Censor, I will report the matter to the Emperor truthfully."
Yu Jiahui panicked immediately: "Master, those words just now were just unintentional words from your humble servant, please don't take them seriously."
As she spoke, Yu Jiahui slapped herself a few more times: "Master, please be magnanimous and let me go this time."
Now Yu Jiahui no longer has the smug look she used to have.
"Miss Yu, the master has warned you before that your every word and action represents your father. As the child of an official appointed by the court, you should be more careful in what you say and do, and set an example for the common people.
But you have spoken arrogantly many times, relying on your status to look down on others at will. How can the master not doubt your father's character when he can raise a daughter like you?"
Su Chenyu then looked at Censor Fang who was standing on the side, "Sir Fang, as a censor, you should supervise all officials. You didn't show up today just because you thought the person who said those words was not the Minister of Rites, but you didn't think that most of the officials in the future will be the descendants of the officials.
I don't ask them to educate their children well, but they shouldn't be so contemptuous of the current emperor and the crown prince's concubine!"
Censor Fang was startled and immediately knelt down: "My Lord, I was confused. In the future, I will remember your teachings today."
"Master Fang, there is no need to do this." Su Chenyu changed the subject and looked at Yu Jiahui and Yan Ruqin. "As for Miss Yu and Miss Yan, kneel here for a full hour before leaving."
Yan Letang didn't expect that he would be implicated: "My Lord, I am not in good health. If anything happens to me..."
"Someone, call an imperial physician to stay here. If Miss Yan faints, wake her up and make her kneel for a full hour before leaving!" Su Chenyu could see what Yan Letang was thinking at a glance. She was too lazy to say anything more to such a person, so she turned around and left after giving the order.
Yan Letang didn't expect Su Chenyu to be such a resolute person. She was not worried about getting into trouble while kneeling. Instead, she was worried that she would pretend to faint under the pretext of physical discomfort and escape punishment.
This Fengyi master is very scheming!
After punishing two people, Su Chenyu didn't feel like staying here any longer, so she went back home with Bai Yanqing.
Yan Letang knelt for an hour before he stood up and limped away.
Those who attended the wedding banquet that day began to doubt Yan Letang's physical condition. He was able to kneel on the ground for an hour, so even if his body was weaker than that of an ordinary person, it would not be as exaggerated as the rumors outside.
There was no need for the Yan family to lie about Yan Letang's illness. It could only be because Yan Ruqin's return to Beijing really saved her from disaster, and her health was better than before.
However, the reason why Yan Letang and Yu Jiahui were punished was because they were disrespectful to the prince's concubine and the queen. After being punished by Yan Ruqin, they still spoke ill of others behind their backs, which was too disgusting.
Yan Letang had spent so many years accumulating a good reputation in the capital, but because of this incident, its reputation was greatly reduced.
"You are wholeheartedly paving the way for Yan Ruqin." Bai Yanqing sighed.
Su Chenyu glanced at him and said, "Why, they said that to me, and I can't be angry?"
"I think the penalty is too light."
