"This actually helps me. Look at you, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Beichen's tone was inexpressible. He simply slammed the table and stood up, then walked a few steps in front of Zhou Zhaonuan. "Where's the girl you brought back from Zuihonglou? Also, is the Zuihonglou incident just over like this? Do you have anything to say?"
Having said that, Zhou Zhaonuan felt a little guilty, but not much. The little girl shook Zhou Beichen's arm like a dog and said uprightly.
"Dad, that's just the way it is. For the sake of your national treasury, you have to do this. Besides, Nuannuan has already made a promise to her. I'll take responsibility for this."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Well, he didn't want to say anything about this matter. Let her do whatever she wants. As long as it complies with moral principles, he will turn a blind eye. That's fine.
Zhou Beichen nodded, and when he turned to leave, he nodded Zhou Zhaonuan's head fiercely and asked sternly.
"That thing about your mistress? Did you really keep him?"
Zhou Beichen couldn't deny that if Zhou Zhaonuan admitted it on the spot, he would really slap her.
He could get away with anything else, but keeping a lover was dishonorable and would have a negative impact on her future.
However, Zhou Beichen is still very confident about his daughter's moral character.
Zhou Zhaonuan immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, father, I don't have it. I don't want to raise it, let alone dare to raise it. If you don't believe me, please send someone to check."
Zhou Beichen's expression calmed down after hearing this. "That's more than enough. Okay, I'll let you go. Go back."
Zhou Beichen waved his hand, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips. He watched Zhou Zhaonuan walk past them as if she didn't take away a cloud. The ministers looked at each other, their eyes wider than before.
Just as Zhou Zhaonuan was about to cross the final threshold, the Minister of Personnel finally couldn't hold on any longer and said, "Your Highness, please take care."
Zhou Zhaonuan turned around abruptly, and seeing the Minister of Personnel's expression of having eaten shit, she really wanted to slap him.
The Minister of Personnel completely disregarded etiquette and ran to Zhou Beichen, looking like he was about to cry.
"Your Majesty, although my grandson was at fault, you could have handed him over to the Ministry of Justice. They could have punished him with a beating or a fine, but you kicked him in the street and broke his penis. This is a lifelong matter. I beg Your Majesty to give me justice. What's more, you were just fighting in the street."
Zhou Zhaonuan walked over slowly and glanced down at the Minister of Personnel.
"You said I got into a fight in the street. I was going to say that if I hadn't kicked your grandson that time, he would have kicked me. Minister of Personnel, I want to tell you today that although I may look down on my appearance, I am a vindictive person. If anyone dares to bully me, I will not tolerate it."
"What's more, he even wanted to compete with me for fatherhood. He shouted out your name, the Minister of Personnel, in the street, causing the few people on the street to look at him with even more strange eyes. I also disdain to compete with him for fatherhood. Otherwise, he would not be able to compete with me."
Zhou Zhaonuan rolled her eyes at him. Not only was the Minister of Personnel in the wrong, but he couldn't even speak clearly at this moment. He stretched out a pair of old hands and pointed at Zhou Zhaonuan, almost trembling.
"You...you, Princess Chang'an, you're going too far!"
Zhou Zhaonuan would not indulge him. She swung her skirt and knelt down again in front of Zhou Beichen. "Father, right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. Father, can you send someone to investigate what happened that day?"
Zhou Beichen nodded lightly and looked at Zhou Zhaonuan with some appreciation, "Don't worry about that. I had already sent people to check before you came."
He looked at the Minister of Personnel with even more dissatisfaction, but unfortunately the Minister of Personnel, who was immersed in sadness, did not notice anything unusual about Zhou Beichen.
In a desperate situation, he actually gave up everything for his grandson and didn't care about anything else. He immediately started crying to Zhou Beichen.
"Wow, wow, wow... Your Majesty, this old minister only has this one grandson. The doctor said that his vitals are most likely broken by being kicked. You say, I'm afraid this old minister will really have no descendants in the future."
Zhou Zhaonuan tilted her head to look at him, and became more and more confused. If she can't have children, then she can't have children. How can a thing like him who takes things by force and robbery give birth to a good child? It would be better to ruin his life so that he won't harm other girls. Zhou Zhaonuan was secretly happy, and she directly retorted to the Minister of Personnel who was about to collapse with a mouthful of nonsense.
"Minister of Personnel, I deeply sympathize with this matter, but this was all done by your good grandson himself. Your family doesn't have an heir to the throne anyway, so it's enough for your grandson to be alive and well. Why are you crying here? It's so disgraceful."
"you......"
In a hurry, the Minister of Personnel actually raised his orchid finger on the spot, and Zhou Zhaonuan smiled disdainfully.
"That kick from me was a punishment for him being so restless in the street. Who knows what he's like in private?"
"you......"
The Minister of Personnel was trembling all over and looked at Zhou Beichen with a wronged look. After all, he was a veteran of two dynasties, and Zhou Beichen rarely gave him face.
"Well, Yang Aiqing, since this is your grandson's fault, you can't keep holding my daughter hostage. Let me send a doctor over to see if there is any other solution. If you are alright, please leave."
"emperor......"
The Minister of Personnel wiped his tears, but still seemed dissatisfied. Zhou Beichen's face suddenly changed. "Lord Yang, I have said that this matter ends here. If you still insist on having your own way, I will have no choice but to put your grandson in jail. After all, he raped a woman in the street, started a fight, and even tried to hurt the princess. If it weren't for this, your grandson would probably be in the Ministry of Justice jail now."
With just one sentence, the Minister of Personnel's legs went weak, he knelt down in shame and said, "Get out."
At this time, Deshun just came in, and Jiang Aoyuan reported everything he had found out. Zhou Beichen nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger. The ministers below wanted to eat Zhou Zhaonuan alive, but they didn't dare to. She was a princess, and there would be no benefit in complaining to her father.
Seeing the Minister of Personnel leave in disgrace, they gave up the idea of seeking justice. They couldn't argue with the man's father anyway, so they just had to make do with it.
In the blink of an eye, only the father and daughter were left in the hall. Zhou Zhaonuan seemed to relax. He was like a roaring little wolf cub just now, but now he sat down on the chair, saw the pastries on the table, and hurriedly ate a piece.
Zhou Beichen felt suffocated and upset when he saw this.
"Tell me, how could I have such a useless daughter like you? You can just find a reason to throw his grandson into the Ministry of Justice jail. Why are you fighting with him?"
