Chapter 982 Impeachment
Tomorrow is the first day of August, the day of the banquet at the Yizhou Palace. Manbao did not go home to see if the flowers were sold because she was waiting for Yin Huo to come and see a doctor. As soon as she got home, she ran to the backyard to look for Zhou Wulang.
Mr. Zhuang saw her circling around and about to run out again, so he stopped her and said, "Your fifth brother sold the flowers and came back with another pot of ancient roses. He said the Yizhou Palace said that good things should come in pairs, and they want another pot."
“Did they force a purchase?”
Mr. Zhuang pointed to her room and said, "Your fifth brother has brought the silver back. Go count it yourself."
Manbao then called Baishan to count the silver together.
Bai Shan doesn't want to go. It's not his own money, so what's the point of counting it?
He said, "We have an event at school during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't know if the doctors want us to write poems or something else, so I have to go read. You can count them yourself."
"You're still angry. Didn't I just praise Yin He a few words?"
Mr. Zhuang, who was about to turn back to his study, paused and asked, "Why are you involved with Yin Huo again?"
Manbao covered her mouth. Bai Shan chuckled, left her to face Mr. Zhuang alone, and slipped back to the study.
Mr. Zhuang did not forbid Bai Shan and Yin Huo from interacting with each other. After all, they were classmates. If they deliberately avoided each other, that would only create enmity.
But he didn't want Manbao to get too close to the Yin family. If you just want to see a doctor, it would be fine if I can cure you. But what's the point of deliberately luring people to see a doctor?
The Yin family's situation is complicated. Who knows what the Yin family will think when she seduces people to see a doctor like this?
The Yin family had no idea because they didn't know anything at the moment. Yin Huo hadn't told his family anything, and they were the only ones in the car at the time, with no servants from the Yin family, so the Yin family didn't know anything at all.
Yin Huo had just returned from school. Before he even reached his grandmother's courtyard, he heard a commotion inside. Unable to stop in his tracks, he turned around and asked the servants, "Why is the house so noisy?"
"My aunt and the others are back and are talking to the old lady."
Yin Huo asked, "What's all this noise about?"
The servant whispered, "Today at the court meeting, the censor impeached the master, and there were also three sons-in-law at home, so..."
Yin Huo understood immediately. He turned and left, leaving behind a message: "If Grandmother asks, just say I went back to my own courtyard. The teacher has a lot of homework to assign."
"But Master, Doctor Tan is here too and is waiting in the guest house. After you see the old lady, you will go to see the doctor."
Yin Huo pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it the same whether I see it or not?"
The servants of the Yin family were trembling with fear, not daring to think so. A little girl had already hurried into the house to report. Before Yin Huo had taken a few steps, the sisters filed out and grabbed Yin Huo, saying, "Little brother, why don't you come in now? What are you going to do outside in the wind?"
After saying that, he pulled Yin Huo into the house.
As soon as Yin Huo sat down, Old Lady Yin stopped discussing the issue of impeachment and instead ordered, "Go, quickly invite Doctor Tan over."
Doctor Tan is still young and in the prime of his life. Today he was just taking Yin Huo's pulse as usual. A rough feel seemed to show no change, but a careful feeling revealed that the young master's symptoms of depression were getting worse.
Doctor Tan looked up at the women in the room, sighed inwardly, and said the same thing as before, then told Yin Huo to rest more and take the medicine on time.
Yin Huo lowered his eyes and took a look. Seeing that the prescription written by Doctor Tan was the same as before, he withdrew his gaze.
The Yin family went to see off Doctor Tan. Yin Huo felt a little irritated and stood up and said, "Grandmother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, I'm going back."
"Go, go, come, bring the young master's cloak, so that it won't be blown by the wind."
Yin Huo said, "It's only the end of July, it's still hot."
"Then don't wear the cloak, bring the umbrella, and be careful not to let the young master get caught in the wind."
Yin Huo pursed his lips, turned around and left.
After her grandson left, Old Lady Yin said to her group of granddaughters, "Well, it's not a big deal. You'll just be fined some salary, have to write a letter of defense, or maybe lose a rank or two. Go home."
"Grandma, isn't it a big deal if I lose my job?"
"This will teach you a lesson. Don't block people whenever there's a slight disturbance."
Sister Yin said, "We didn't intend to do anything. We didn't want to hit or scold anyone. We just wanted to talk to Mr. Bai and tell him not to bully our little brother."
"Didn't Qilang say that he didn't quarrel with anyone, nor was he bullied? He just spoke a little hastily."
"If he wasn't so aggressive, would I be so anxious to speak?"
Madam Yin held her forehead and asked, "So, are you going to the Censorate and argue with the censors?"
Sister Yin and the others immediately stopped talking.
Second Sister Yin looked at her elder sister, then at her third sister, and smiled, "Grandmother, we didn't mean any harm. We just felt that Mr. Bai and his senior sister, the one with the surname Zhou, didn't take our Yin family seriously. We just went to look for them, and before we could even open our mouths, she started rambling on and on. She assigned everything to us, and that's why this happened."
"What could a new kid in Beijing know?" Old Madam Yin asked. "Can't you find someone to talk to properly? It's ridiculous to be stuck in traffic like this. Also, were you the ones who caused trouble at Jishidi Hall yesterday?"
Sister Yin tried to explain, but Old Madam Yin gently slammed the table and said, "Aren't you just making a fuss? Jishidi has a doctor named Zheng in the Imperial Hospital. If you bring your trouble to Jishidi, how can we hire a doctor for Qilang in the future?"
"The Tan family and our family have been friends for decades..."
"But he can't cure Qilang's illness," Old Lady Yin suddenly became angry, slamming her hand on the table with more force. She angrily said, "Can't we hire a better doctor?"
The Yin sisters suddenly stopped talking.
"The current impeachment is still a light one, which means that the family is not well managed. The censors couldn't find any evidence for the Jishiditang incident yesterday, so they let it go. If the censors knew about the post last night, not only the eldest and second uncles-in-law, but also your father would be in trouble."
The Yin sisters lowered their heads, but felt a little disapproving in their hearts.
What they did probably couldn't even be considered a small trouble. Those playboys in the capital, who rode horses and fought all year round in the capital, had caused much bigger troubles. But is their father in trouble?
They were just worried that their younger brother would get in the way of someone on the street.
Seeing them like this, Old Lady Yin felt powerless to intervene. She waved her hand and said, "I'm old and my energy is weak. Since you won't listen to my advice, there's no need to come back and tell me about this. Go talk to your father yourself."
The Yin sisters didn't have the guts to say anything, and all of them kept their heads down in silence. They hadn't expected this incident to become so serious. In the past, there had been censors impeaching them, but at most, nothing had happened. But today, their husbands came back and said that the people at the Censorate seemed very angry and were determined to demote them.
