Chapter 166 Officials’ Secrets

The princess heard this and couldn’t help but show a mocking look on her

face. “What else can they say? It’s nothing more than saying that there is no man in charge of the Qin Mansion. If you ask me, they can only talk about this point. They keep saying this sentence, and my ears are numb.”

Although the voices about Qin Shu in the court are much quieter now, officials will mention it from time to time.

Overall, there are only a few officials who regularly speak up. If you think about it carefully, they just want to drag Qin Shu into the water and let their relatives occupy the position of imperial merchants, so as to share some benefits.

“My brother, of course, understands their little thoughts, but they have never pointed it out from beginning to end, and my brother can’t just say anything.”

Qin Shu sighed, understanding the emperor’s embarrassment, and didn’t say much.

But Xiao Xixi was very angry when she heard this.

She also knew that her third brother didn't go to school because of the gossip of these officials, and she was angry in her heart.

[The families of these officials are more dirty than each other, how dare they say that about mother! In comparison, mother just divorced the unfaithful man who took bribes, but the secrets of those officials are all serious violations of ethics and morality! ]

Xiao Xixi became more and more angry as she thought about it, so she just vented it out.

[Take the Minister of Revenue for example, he relied on his high position and power to embezzle so much money and accept so many gifts from officials! And there is the Minister of Rites, whose son is a gambler and also a womanizer. As a husband, not only does he not teach his son to mend his ways, but he also cleans up his mess everywhere, accustomed to his son being lawless and raping women everywhere. He also colluded with the people in the Dali Temple, and it was useless for others to report him to the authorities! 】

With these people's moral character, how could they have the nerve to bring the Three Principles and Five Constant Virtues to sue their mother?

Could it be that the morality of this world is only for women to abide by, but not for men!

Xiao Xixi's face turned ashen with anger, but she didn't know that Qin Shu and the princess looked at her with different expressions.

Qin Shu suddenly heard Xiao Xixi's thoughts and thought that she could use this matter.

The princess suddenly heard Xiao Xixi's thoughts and was shocked!

Was it Xiao Xixi who said that? How could she hear what Xiao Xixi was thinking, and how did Xiao Xixi know so many things?

However, the princess thought of the phantom of Xiao Xixi that she saw when she gave birth, and felt that everything that happened to Xixi was not so strange. The princess

thought over and over again about the secrets that Xiao Xixi had just revealed.

It was the first time she knew that these officials had such scandals in private. They looked decent on weekdays, and when the emperor's brother was cleaning up the officialdom, they didn't look like people who could get into such trouble. Unexpectedly, they said one thing in front of her and another behind her back!

Xixi told a lot of secrets about what these officials did, including the two highest-ranking officials, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue, and each of them was enough to put them in jail. It doesn't matter if you didn't know before, but now you have a direction. If you follow the investigation, you will definitely be able to find evidence, but it's just a matter of time.

Qin Shu is also thinking about this now. If you bring down these officials directly, you can let the third brother see that people with bad intentions and nonsense are also despised by other scholars. Maybe he can change his mind and go back to school to study.

Qin Xixi scolded those officials in her heart for a long time and was already a little tired. She also listened to the eldest princess and her mother talking about family matters, and now she is a little drowsy.

Seeing this, the eldest princess called the nanny.

"The young lady is a little sleepy. Take her to the side room to sleep and take good care of her."

After the nanny took little Xixi away, the eldest princess ordered the other servants to leave, leaving only Qin Shu and her in the room.

Seeing the serious yet somewhat hesitant look of the eldest princess, Qin Shu understood that the eldest princess wanted to tell her some secrets.

Sure enough, the eldest princess's expression became more and more shocked, and finally she couldn't help asking.

"Can you hear what Xiao Xixi is thinking? How come I just heard her say that those officials are not good people, and she also told a lot of their secrets?"

Could it be that she slept too much these days and had hallucinations?

Qin Shu was also very surprised to hear that the eldest princess could actually hear Xiao Xixi's thoughts!

Now, in addition to the Qin family who can hear Xixi's thoughts, there are actually other people who can hear it. More and more people are developing a wonderful relationship with Xiao Xixi.

Qin Shu nodded.

"You heard it right, we can all hear Xixi talking. But you should be one of the few people who can hear Xixi's inner voice even though you are not a member of the Qin family."

It was obviously a very strange and mysterious thing, but the eldest princess felt very happy.

"Does this mean that there is a special fate between me and little Xixi, and little Xixi also trusts me, so I was chosen by Xixi!"

The eldest princess was very happy at this time. Qin Shu couldn't help laughing when she saw her happy look.

"This little Xixi is really magical, she can make you all look at her."

After the two of them finished laughing, they started to talk about business.

Qin Shu frowned.

"Xixi's inner voice is usually very accurate. Those officials must have done these things, so Xixi would think so."

The eldest princess couldn't help but show an angry expression on her face.

As the eldest princess of the royal family, she was more or less concerned about the situation in the court.

These people formed a group to disrupt the order of the court, and did such outrageous things in private, which not only damaged the image of court officials, but also disrupted the government. They simply did not take the emperor seriously.

Even if it was not for Qin Shu, she had to investigate these people. She couldn't let them use the title of court officials, not do anything practical, and even cause trouble to the people.

"Don't worry, I will send people to investigate the relevant matters. Once I get any clues, I will report it to my brother, and let him follow the clues to catch these people in one fell swoop and clean up the imperial court!"

Qin Shu was touched, knowing that the princess did so much for her sake. If she didn't let you follow the princess's temper, she would at most report these things to the emperor, and she would never go through the trouble of investigating by herself.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know when this matter will end."

If she was asked to get married because of rumors, Qin Shu really couldn't bring herself to do it. The

princess shook her head when she heard it.

"The key to your revenge is not me. The information was provided by Xiao Xixi. All I can do is use my identity to help you find out the information."
