Shen Wan asked with a smile, "How was the punishment?"
Yinshuang held up two fingers. "The Censorate has been submitting memorials one after another. The Emperor is very angry and has demoted the Second Master by two ranks, from the third rank to the fourth rank."
Shen Wan guessed that the Emperor would demote the Second Master, but she did not expect him to be demoted by two ranks.
How about a one-day tour of the three-tiered restaurants?

Shen Wan was very satisfied with the result. I wonder if Shen Ying can still be so smug now.

The emperor was so angry that he stripped the old lady of her title."

Yinshuang said, "The Emperor not only punished the Second Master and the Old Madam, but also the Marquis. The Marquis apologized, saying that as the elder brother and the head of the family, he failed to manage the Second Master properly, and the Emperor fined the Marquis half a year's salary."
"besides--"
Shen Wan, "..."
How come there are still some?
Shen Wan was completely dumbfounded.
Yinshuang said, "Prince Cheng repeatedly recommended the Second Master, but the Emperor punished Prince Cheng by deducting a year's salary for his oversight in recommending him."
