Lin Ruyue was originally a concubine's daughter in the family. She was admitted to the palace school based on her talent and knowledge. If everything went smoothly, her status as the princess's companion would greatly improve her value and status.

But this incident happened and her reputation was ruined.

It will be difficult to call yourself a good family in the future.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. In the palace, one must indeed be careful.

Su Xiaoxiao was also wrong today. No matter how rude Lin Ruyue's words were, she shouldn't have pushed anyone into the water.

She was punished to copy the Analects of Confucius.

This punishment... is quite light to be honest.

"Why is her luck so good?" muttered a rich girl.

Everyone knows why the punishment is so painless.

The Empress Dowager never blamed her from beginning to end, which shows that she agreed with her approach in her heart.

Of course, no one thought that the Empress Dowager was protecting Su Xiaoxiao. In everyone's opinion, the Empress Dowager was just too angry with Lin Ruyue, so the Empress Dowager would not punish Su Xiaoxiao for teaching Lin Ruyue a lesson.

As for the Empress Dowager's actions, isn't she afraid that people all over the world will laugh at her for being unfair?

Obviously, they were all wrong, so just because that person did something to "please" her, she should be forgiven for her sins? The Empress Dowager had no husband, no children, and no maternal family. When a person has nothing to ask for, she naturally has nothing to fear.

No matter how stormy the building is, she has no desires or demands.

The relationship between the court and the harem is complicated, and any seemingly insignificant matter may hide countless interests.

Strictly speaking, the Lin family's daughter being expelled from school is not a small matter.

The Queen Mother will definitely ask about this.

The Queen Mother would not go against the Grand Empress Dowager, but in order to give an explanation to the Lin family, would she find a reason to punish the little girl?

After school, the two princesses went to Yongshou Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

Princess Hui'an glanced at Princess Jingning coldly: "Why are you so close to me?"

Princess Jingning's eyelashes trembled, and she said calmly, "Actually, there is one thing I have been hesitating about whether to tell you or not?"

"What's the matter?" Princess Hui'an asked unhappily.

Princess Jingning said sternly, "Lin Ruyue... once said bad things about you. She said you... have big breasts and no brains, and are a fool."

Princess Hui’an: “……!!”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Princess Hui'an stormed into the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Princess Jingning stood at the door, listening to her silly sister indignantly complaining about Lin Ruyue, like a little fighting cock with its feathers standing on end.

"I don't care! If the Royal Grandmother lets her come back, I will never come to Yongshou Palace again!"

"Why ask her to explain? She definitely won't admit it! She lied to me in Mingyuexuan this afternoon!"

"Jingning told me! She definitely wouldn't lie to me!"

Jingning never lies.

Before today, that was indeed the case.

…

Su Xiaoxiao left the palace and leisurely got on Su Mo's carriage.

Su Mo looked at her calm and composed appearance. If he didn't have a spy, Eunuch Sun, he would never have guessed that this girl had a fight with someone in the palace.

…That doesn’t seem right.

It was a one-sided crushing by the little girl.

Su Mo said: "Aren't you going to talk about it?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What?"

Su Mo looked at her like a brother.

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "There is indeed such a thing."

She slowly placed her book bag on the table and said, "The teacher punished me to copy the Analects."

Su Mo: What's the whole story? Did they let you eat it? ...

This matter did not end so easily.

Su Yuan worked in the Ministry of War, and right across from him were the offices of the three highest officials.

As the time for the end of his shift approached, General Lin packed up and prepared to leave the palace.

Just as he reached the door, a subordinate came to report: "His Majesty summons you to the Imperial Study."

General Lin held an important position, so being summoned was common. He did not think much about it and went immediately.

When I arrived at the imperial study, I found Su Yuan was also there.

The Lin family had been in Emperor Jingxuan's camp since he was still Prince of Ruyang, and so had the Su family. Because of this, the two families were relatively harmonious in the officialdom.

In addition, the Lin family originally intended to marry into the Su family, and Su Yuan also agreed. However, they never expected that according to the engagement letter between the two families, Su Mo and his second daughter were not compatible, so the marriage had to be cancelled.

His eldest daughter is married, and his third daughter, Lin Ruyue's horoscope is compatible with Su Mo's. Unfortunately, Lin Ruyue is a concubine's daughter, and Su Mo, as the heir to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, naturally would not marry a concubine's daughter.

Taiwei Lin bowed to Emperor Jingxuan and greeted Su Yuan, "Minister Su."

We didn't become in-laws, but we didn't become enemies either.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuan ignored him.

Commander Lin looked bewildered.

Emperor Jingxuan said calmly, "General Lin, Minister Su has reported you."

Commander Lin was even more confused.

He didn't seem to have offended Su Yuan, right? Why would Su Yuan complain about him? If he had to complain, it would be about the Leng family and the Wei family!

When Emperor Jingxuan saw the expression on General Lin's face, he knew that he had not heard about Lin Ruyue.

Emperor Jingxuan said, "Minister Su criticized you for not teaching your daughter well and offending the Empress Dowager."

General Lin is really like a pot that falls from the sky while he is sitting in the room.

"Where did you get that from?" he asked in surprise.

Su Yuan snorted coldly: "General Lin, why don't you go home and ask your good daughter?"

Emperor Jingxuan was actually having a headache. It was not easy for Wei Ting to stop making trouble and he could peacefully serve as his riding and archery teacher in exchange for not being under house arrest. But then Su Yuan started making trouble again.

As the king of a country, he has to deal with all kinds of messy things all day long!

Eunuch Fu observed the emperor's expression and seeing that Emperor Jingxuan had no intention of stopping him, he told him what had happened near Mingyuexuan.

"This is what happened!" Su Yuan said.

Su Yuan never mentioned that Su Xiaoxiao pushed Lin Ruyue into the water for personal reasons, and said confidently: "My niece couldn't stand it anymore, and I was afraid that my daughter would say something that would kill her, so I helped her in a hurry!"

Commandant Lin: ...Do you mean to push my daughter into the water?

Are you sure this is help?

Not a lesson?

In this day and age, is it still possible to confuse right and wrong like this?

Su Yuan exuded only one message from his whole body - my niece is so kind, why don't you thank her quickly!

General Lin was about to vomit blood.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Ruyue was scolding the daughter of the Duke of Huguo who had returned from the common people, but she happened to be seen by the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was indeed very angry.

This is a bit confusing.

It is impossible to excuse Lin Ruyue, as that would be a blatant challenge to the Empress Dowager.

Although the Empress Dowager had no real power, she was a fig leaf for the royal family. When the late emperor inherited the throne from his nephew, it aroused countless doubts.

The late emperor's descendants would not dare to let the Empress Dowager suffer any injustice.

At least they wouldn't dare to do it openly.

Taiwei Lin took the blame and said, "I...have failed to teach my daughter well...I am willing to be punished!"

Emperor Jingxuan said sternly, "Deduct half a year's salary. Besides, Taiwei Lin will not be asked to worry about the construction of the Divine Bow Camp for now. Taiwei Lin should spend more time educating his children."

Taiwei Lin doesn’t care whether he gets a salary deduction or not, but supervising the construction of the Divine Bow Camp is a lucrative job!

What's more, the Lin family has been gaining momentum in the past two years, and is expected to replace the Lu family and join the ranks of the eight major families based on its contribution in supervising the construction of the Divine Bow Camp.

Now, wouldn't it be a failure? ! Emperor Jingxuan asked indifferently: "Why? General Lin thinks that my punishment is too heavy?"

Commandant Lin knelt down with his hands clasped in front of him: "I dare not. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Emperor Jingxuan said again: "Minister Su, the matter of the Divine Bow Camp is left to you."

"Huh?" Su Yuan was stunned.

Emperor Jingxuan: "Why? Are you unhappy?"

Su Yuan bowed and said, "I am flattered by your majesty's high regard for me!"

He had only come to seek justice for his little niece, so how come he ended up with a lucrative job? Taiwei Lin returned to his mansion angrily.

"Call the third young lady over here!"

Lin Ruyue felt very aggrieved today and was just waiting for her father to come back and seek justice for her.

When an ordinary person gets into trouble and hears that his parents want to see him, his first reaction would be guilt. However, Lin Ruyue had a strange way of thinking and actually felt that she could go to her father to complain.

Both Su Daya and Hu Biyun are not good people!

"Father……"

Her eyes turned red and she was about to complain.

Commander Lin slapped him: "Evil creature!"

…

After the old marquis fell ill and was bedridden, Su Mo spent much more time in the military camp than before.

He didn't come from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to pick up Su Xiaoxiao every day, he came from the military camp.

After sending Su Xiaoxiao back to Lihua Lane, he returned to the military camp.

The difference is that he did not come out to train that night.

The soldiers felt very strange.

The eldest son, who practices harder than anyone else, suddenly becomes lazy?

"Not in the barracks?"

"Yes, I saw the eldest master coming here with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, just look, the light in his tent is on."

"Yes, I also brought food to the eldest master in the evening!"

"I hope something has happened..."

Several people hurried to Su Mo's tent.

Listen to your breathing, you are alive.

Look at the shadow...it's definitely not dead.

Several people curiously squeezed their heads in through the gap in the curtain.

Then those rough old men were all dumbfounded.

Their eldest son actually sat in the tent and knelt down to copy books?! ...

Su Xiaoxiao went home for dinner and went to the first class with her three cute little tails.

The three little ones went to play in the backyard very well.

They are very attached to Su Xiaoxiao, but never disturb her when she is doing something.

The lobby was a bit deserted and the atmosphere was a bit off.

On the first day of opening, no consultation fee was charged and the cost of medicine was halved. Add to that the wave of publicity last night. Logically, even if today's business was not booming, it would not be so quiet.

"What happened?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The others didn't dare to say a word. They just hung their heads, looking self-blaming and ashamed.

"Let me tell you something." Doctor Fu sighed. "When we first opened, we did have quite a few customers. Many of them were introduced by the people who watched the show last night. But at noon, a patient suddenly came over and said that the medicine we prescribed in the first clinic had upset his son's stomach. He made a scene for a while, and all the customers were scared away. That's not all. The mother of the patient we admitted to the first clinic yesterday stood up to speak for us, but she ended up accusing us of being in the same group and that we were acting to tarnish the reputation of Renxin Hall."

"Ah Zhong immediately reported it to the authorities. When the police came, they ran away. But the guests...were already gone because of them."

"It's all my fault for being useless."

Doctor Fu lowered his head in self-blame, "If you were here today, this wouldn't have happened."

He saw Su Xiaoxiao's ability, and no one could play tricks in front of her.

Doctor Fu was a kind, upright and excellent doctor, but not a shrewd businessman.

Otherwise, when he was in the town, with his medical skills far superior to Huichuntang's, if he had known a little bit about marketing and competition, he would have snatched away all of Huichuntang's business long ago.

"It's not your fault."

Su Xiaoxiao wrote this.

She was careless and should have found a shopkeeper in advance.

If she didn't go to school, she could be the shopkeeper herself -

"I'll go to Grandma Zhou's house tonight and ask her to help introduce a shopkeeper."

Doctor Fu sighed, "It's hard to find a shopkeeper. Even if we meet a capable one, the price alone won't impress them. Our newly opened clinic has no reputation and no status. No capable shopkeeper is willing to come here."

Although Doctor Fu is not smart, he understands these principles.

He was right, a good shopkeeper is hard to come by.

When everyone was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"Excuse me, are you still hiring a shopkeeper here?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Who is this person?

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and said: "It's you..."

Fei Zhang, wait for a mighty and domineering monthly ticket!

Bow in thanks.
