Chapter 314 Oh Wow
The entire family of the Minister of Personnel huddled together and trembled.
Having lived in the capital for so many years, with a large family and a powerful business, both the masters and servants in the mansion would more or less do some acts of bullying men and women.
These were originally an unspoken understanding among all the governments in the capital, and no one would hold on to these matters.
After all, everyone's bottom is not clean.
But when Lu Xinran brought it up at the annual meeting, it became more than just a simple family scandal being made public.
If you make a mistake, you will lose your head.
Last year it was the Minister of War who got unlucky, so this year it will be their turn, right?
The Minister of Personnel looked at Song Junyan pleadingly, wishing he could kneel down and kowtow to the couple.
Song Junyan thought it over again and again, and then he covered himself with his robe sleeve and gently pulled Lu Xinran's arm to remind her to stop.
Lu Xinran understood what was going on and opened the booklet of the Minister of Personnel and began to read it casually.
[Hey, the Minister of Personnel is very playful. He is old and useless, so he likes to watch the servants and maids perform live sex shows for him in the house. ]
"puff!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Among the several old men in high positions of power, the Minister of Personnel looks the most upright and rigid one.
If he had not been in the Ministry of Personnel for many years, many people would think that he should be in the Censorate.
Such a person who is usually serious and stern actually has such a hobby, and it has never been discovered by anyone!
The Minister of Personnel's face flushed. What's wrong with that? Is it okay that he is old but his heart is young? !
He is so tired from the daily intrigues, and he is just looking for a way to relieve himself. What's wrong with that?
The old wife beside him had already buried her head in her chest. After today, even if the Cao family could still gain a foothold in the capital, they would become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
[Compared to his sons, Mr. Cao's hobby is still conservative. His eldest son likes to take off all his clothes, lie on the ground and be whipped.]
[While smoking, I was also being called a bitch. 】
[The room where he had been with his male pet was filled with the stench of feces and urine.]
[He still has a steel ball stuck in his anus.]
puff……
Uncontrollable laughter was heard from the crowd again.
The Cao family's slow social death had just begun, but the emperor had been expecting nothing of bullying men and women, dominating the market, accepting bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain.
The emperor glared at the Cao family with disappointment, then turned back and continued eating melon.
Lu Xinran flipped through the pages casually. Since Song Junyan had reminded her that the Cao family was still useful, she naturally could not reveal anything that could be used as evidence by the emperor.
She casually flipped through the Cao family's booklet and threw it to the system to search using keywords to see if the country prince hiding in the dark had ever contacted the Cao family.
She then turned her target to the next person. She felt that this was a misstep. She should have discussed with Song Junyan before coming to see which adult was suitable to move to another position and which adult could receive the package of confiscation of property and exile.
This time, she had no targeted goal, so she could only pick one at random, and then decide whether to dig deeper or just take a casual look based on the hints Song Junyan gave her from time to time.
Throughout the whole day, everyone in the square was in a state of panic.
Lu Xinran dug as she pleased, and not everyone thought Song Junyan was worth keeping.
Therefore, the emperor finally found a "favorite" candidate to fill the national treasury.
When the ceremony was over, everyone was covered in cold sweats and walked out of the palace with weak legs.
Under the emperor's gaze, the empress summoned Zhang Yongping and his wife to Changchun Palace.
The emperor was still wary of the Zhang family, but he had his spies in Changchun Palace, so he was not afraid of not being able to find out what the three of them had said, so he let them go.
On the way out of the palace, Lu Xinran and Lu Xinlan had a brief opportunity to communicate.
After much hesitation, she finally decided to keep the shocking secret of the emperor's life story a secret. Not knowing the details can often be a way to preserve one's happiness.
The two sisters had a subtle discussion about the possible fate of Song Junyu and the plausible threat to Lu Xinlan.
Lu Xinlan finally decided not to hide this matter from Tang Chongli. Tang Chongli already trusted her very much. If she took the initiative to reveal Song Junyu's intentions, it would only make Tang Chongli defensive against him.
Lu Xinran gave her a thumbs up. Her sister is really good at controlling people's hearts!
During the New Year, all government affairs were extremely heavy, so the two sisters got on their own carriages back home after leaving the palace.
There were no other masters in the Prince of Wei's mansion, so when the young couple returned home, Lu Xinran was too lazy to act like a princess anymore. She leaned softly on Song Junyan and let him help her back to the main courtyard.
After a quick dinner, the two of them went to sleep.
On the second day of the New Year, I went back to my parents’ home.
She and Lu Xinlan had already agreed that after returning to the Lu residence, they would find an opportunity to talk in detail about what had happened during this period.
So she started preparing to return to Lu Mansion early in the morning.
Song Junyan was very obedient and did whatever she was told to do. He also asked the housekeeper to prepare some extra New Year gifts for her to take back.
Pei didn't have the chance to talk to them much in the palace the day before, so today she got up early in the morning and asked someone to prepare the sisters' favorite food, then waited anxiously for them to return home.
Her behavior made Aunt Xu laugh at her. The young ladies in the mansion were also going back home today, but she was not seen preparing food for her own daughter.
Pei let her tease her, but she was thinking in her heart how could this be the same.
The two granddaughters gave her a different feeling; they were too vivid and different from all the women in the capital.
Whenever she looked at them, her heart would open up, and the resentment that had accumulated in her heart for many years would dissipate because of them. She even felt that she could live a few more years.
When Lu Xinran got off the car, he turned his head and saw the Tang family's carriage.
She happily wanted to rush over to help Lu Xinlan out of the car, but was stopped by Song Junyan.
When Pei received the news, she hurried to the door. No matter how close they were in private, since Lu Xinran was already married to the princess, she could not lose her manners.
After greeting each other in front of the door, everyone walked towards Zhaoyun Courtyard, chatting and laughing.
Lu Jinchuan sat in Zhaoyun Courtyard for a while pretending to be present, then he coughed lightly and took Song Junyan and Tang Chongli to the front yard.
As soon as Zhao saw Lu Xinlan, she immediately came forward, pulled her and asked her questions, fearing that she had been wronged in the Tang Mansion.
After confirming again and again that she was living very well in the Tang Mansion, she glanced at Lu Xinran with a hint of pride and spoke casually.
"Your eldest brother's marriage has been arranged. He has been arranged to marry the second daughter of the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel."
Everyone: “…”
Zhao had not entered the palace the day before, so she had no idea how glorious the Cao family was yesterday.
Speaking of the eldest branch of the Cao family, the passages from the booklet immediately appeared in front of Lu Xinran's eyes.
SM and the like shouldn't be inherited, right?
