Jiang Fengyuan was unhappy when he heard this.
"My daughter has no ancestors, why is she making such a fuss?"
"You!" Duke Anguo was so angry that he almost fainted.
Without ancestors, what is he? And what is the ancestral hall of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?
"Okay." The emperor knew that if he didn't speak up, the two families might continue to quarrel.
The ministers in the court were as quiet as chickens.
The emperor waved to Jiang Yuanxi and said, "Yuanxi, come here?"
The court officials' minds were spinning.
What’s going on? The emperor actually waved to a baby.
Jiang Yuanxi climbed up grunting, and the emperor saw this and came down to hold her in his arms.
The emperor weighed it.
"Well, the little guy is thin and slim again."
The emperor held back the word "fat".
Jiang Fengyuan frowned, wondering what the emperor was up to.
Her daughter had clearly gained three pounds.
The Korean prince was even more surprised.
"What is the relationship between Yuan Xi and the Emperor?" he asked, looking up.
Jiang Fengyuan shook his head: "I don't know either."
They had been talking for so long, but the emperor still did not agree to re-examine the Chen family's corruption case.
Jiang Fengyuan was anxious.
[Dad, why is he still kneeling on the ground? Hasn't the matter of overturning the case for the Chen family been settled yet? ]
Jiang Yuanxi glanced at the emperor.
The emperor coughed.
"Since there are still doubts in this case, ask the Minister of Justice Li Wenbo to investigate the case again."
Jiang Fengyuan was delighted: "The emperor is very perceptive and will definitely give justice to the Chen family."
Duke Anguo was greatly shocked.
The emperor actually lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, the case of the Chen family has long been settled. It would be difficult to investigate further!" Duke Anguo advised.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Vice Minister of War Hong Bokai agreed.
"The participants have already been severely punished. Jiang Fengyuan's few words alone may not be enough."
"Besides, Jiang Fengyuan was expelled from the clan by Duke Anguo and has a poor character. Who knows if what he said is true."
Even with witnesses and evidence already before them, these old officials still opposed a thorough investigation.
The only conclusion is that these people are taking revenge on the Jiang family.
Jiang Yuanxi walked up to Hong Bokai angrily.
"You, you used your wife's money to support a mistress. You're being punished. You only have one son in this life!"
"nonsense!"
He has three sons and two daughters. Last year, his concubine's son got married and now has grandchildren.
Many people envy him for having a large family at his age.
Zhou Qun whispered, "A few days ago, Lord Hong's wife took their son back to her parents' home, and Lord Hong immediately took his mistress into the mansion. Mrs. Hong gave Lord Hong a divorce letter and left the Hong family with her son."
"Have they divorced? I haven't heard about it." said another adult.
"Yes, he was divorced. Madam Hong divorced Mr. Hong."
Hong Bokai grew increasingly angry as he listened.
The shrew took her son back to her parents' home and wrote him a letter of divorce.
Trampling his dignity on the ground.
He now has many children and grandchildren, and he wants to see how that shrew can survive without him.
Jiang Yuanxi put her hands on her hips and pouted.
"No, you only have one son, born to your first wife."
An adult next to him whispered, "Girl, you are talking nonsense. Our Minister has three sons and two daughters, and they are all filial."
"Hahaha." Jiang Yuanxi held his stomach and laughed out loud.
"The children born to your concubine are not yours."
Jiang Yuanxi walked to the back and pulled out an official.
"It's him."
Hong Bokai's face fell.
"Ignorant child!"
"This person seems to be Mr. Hong's student." Han Guo said publicly.
If it were true that a student slept with his teacher's wife, the ancestors of the Hong family would jump out of their graves.
The official who was pulled out had his heart skipped a beat.
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!" he retorted immediately.
"I'm not kidding. He has a heart-shaped birthmark on his shoulder. Your son and grandson have it, but you don't!"
A good court has turned into a gathering for gossip.
Instead of stopping him, the emperor listened with great interest.
"Teacher, you have to believe in your students and never listen to a child." No, the teacher didn't notice it for all these years, how could a baby know.
Hong Bokai's expression changed drastically and he lost his previous calmness.
Because all his illegitimate sons and daughters, including his grandson, had such birthmarks.
Zhou Qun was so curious that he covered his face with his sleeves.
"Then, take off your clothes and show us!" After saying that, he immediately shrank back into the crowd.
Hong Bokai: "You, take off your clothes!"
Student Hong Bokai refused, and several people nearby quickly stepped forward to hold him down and pull the clothes off his shoulders.
Good job.
It's really a heart-shaped birthmark.
Jiang Yuanxi spread his hands and said, "See, I didn't lie to you."
Hong Bokai fell backwards in anger, and the official beside him immediately supported him.
He had wasted a lot of time on educating his illegitimate sons and daughters over the years, only to learn that neither his son nor his daughter was his.
The blood rushed to Hong Bokai's head.
[The old man is so pitiful, raising a whole family of children for others. ]
Seeing the old man about to meet his ancestors, Jiang Yuanxi couldn't bear it.
The Chen family's affairs had nothing to do with him. Apart from having a mistress and a bad character, the old man had been conscientious in his official position over the years.
"I have good news for you."
"You have a son in this life, the son born to your first wife. Don't worry, this one is yours."
Hong Bokai was so angry that he fainted.
Jiang Yuanxi immediately took a few steps back.
"It wasn't me, I didn't touch him!" Why do old men always commit fraud these days?
Jiang Yuansheng smiled and hugged his sister.
