Seeing that Ruxue had made up her mind, Tong Cheng'er didn't say anything to refuse.
She said to Ruxue, "Since you've made up your mind, I naturally have no reason to disagree."
Ru Xue and Rong Ning exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
When their love was at its peak, everyone felt they could withstand all the hardships to come. Tong Cheng'er looked at the two of them and could only silently wish them all the best.
With Tong Cheng'er's words, Rong Ning tactfully replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam."
Ru Xue also said, "This servant thanks you, Madam."
Tong Cheng'er smiled and said, "No need to thank me, I'm just glad you like it."
There's not much she can do for Ruxue, but she can offer her sincere blessings and a decent dowry.
That evening, Tong Cheng'er said to Yinzhen, "I never expected that Ru Xue would actually get together with Rong Ning."
So much time had passed since Rong Ning rejected her, and she had already started looking for someone else for Ru Xue. But the two of them unexpectedly found a new path together.
"The two are destined to be together."
Thinking of Rong Ning's problem, Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but worry: "Ru Xue and Rong Ning have a good relationship now, and she can accept anything. But when she gets older and sees other people with children and grandchildren, I wonder what she will think."
Yinzhen felt he could say a few words about this: "It shouldn't be that bad. If a woman cannot have children, it's difficult for the relationship to last. But if a man cannot have children, given Ruxue's character, the two of them will naturally be able to live well together."
Another reason is that Yinzhen had seen too many people and things.
In such a world, women regard their husbands as their heaven, and there are more devoted women and unfaithful men.
Ru Xue didn't mind Rong Ning's physical ailment, and Rong Ning wasn't a heartless person, so the two were naturally able to stay together for a long time.
Tong Cheng'er thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
"Everyone has their own destiny, so there's no need to think about the future."
Tong Cheng'er nodded; she had indeed been thinking a bit too far ahead.
Ru Xue and Rong Ning's relationship has been settled, but it's only settled. The formal wedding ceremony will have to wait until Tong Cheng'er gives birth and the baby is a month old.
After Ru Xue and Rong Ning became open about their relationship, Ru Xue became increasingly blatant. Before Rong Ning expressed his feelings to Ru Xue, he acted very reserved.
After expressing his feelings, he took great care of Ru Xue and was very considerate towards her.
Rong Ning also took Ru Xue out shopping, bought her jewelry, took her out to eat, and even wrote her love poems.
When a woman falls in love, pink bubbles appear around her, and Rulan, who lives with her, is deeply influenced by these pink bubbles.
Before going to sleep, Rulan no longer listens to Ruxue talk about what food or clothes to prepare for the Fujin tomorrow, but rather what Rongning gave her today and what plans she has with Rongning tomorrow.
Rong Ning's thoughtfulness and attentiveness towards Ru Xue was something Ru Lan hadn't expected. While happy for Ru Xue, she couldn't help but feel sad for herself. Seeing the two of them being so sweet and loving all the time, she felt that she should also find a partner for herself.
In the past, when the master and the wife were inseparable, Rulan didn't think anything of it because Ruxue was with them. Now, when she was on duty, she saw the master and the wife being affectionate, and when she returned to her room after her duty, she had to listen to Ruxue and Rongning's sweet stories.
While Rulan was thinking about finding one for herself as soon as possible, Yinzhen was completely engrossed in his work.
The Ministry of Justice has recently encountered a significant problem that, if left unresolved and escalates, will be difficult to resolve.
This matter is actually somewhat related to the Crown Prince.
Here's what happened.
Two days ago, a brother and sister came to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor.
This is not an easy case to file with the emperor. There are so many people in the world, and so many cases in the government offices. Naturally, there are many who are dissatisfied. Everyone wants to file a petition with the emperor. If the emperor didn't have to review any more petitions, he would be too busy to handle all the cases every day.
Therefore, if one wanted to file a complaint with the emperor, one had to undergo corresponding punishments, such as caning and whipping. These were all severe punishments, and if one was in poor health, one might die during the ordeal.
The fact that this brother and sister were able to successfully appeal to the emperor shows their determination; they could not have done so without a great injustice.
The act of beating the drum to appeal for justice is a rare occurrence, as few people are familiar with criminal law. When Emperor Kangxi learned of this matter, he entrusted it to Yinzhen to handle without clarifying the details.
Upon seeing the two of them, Yinzhen could no longer treat the matter as a normal one.
He didn't know the younger sister, but he did know the older brother.
I should say that I knew them in the dream.
It turned out to be Tian Wenjing.
This was something that Yinzhen couldn't understand at all. Logically speaking, this person should be an official in a local area now! Why would he come here to file a complaint against the emperor?
Life is truly unpredictable.
No matter how much you don't understand, you must begin the interrogation.
After some questioning, Yinzhen learned quite a bit.
Tian Wenjing was framed in the Suo'etu incident. If he hadn't been quick-witted, he would have lost his life, but he would have lost his official position.
He had been trying to get back to his job, but then he ran into a domineering spoiled brat who tried to forcibly take his sister in the street. He was right there and naturally wouldn't allow it.
Having served as an official, he was quick-witted and eloquent, which made the spoiled young man leave in shame and indignation.
He thought the matter was over, but it turned out otherwise. The spoiled brat held a grudge, and he had two treacherous people around him who plotted to ruin his sister's reputation.
He naturally refused to yield, and then the spoiled brat sent people to cause trouble at his door, which caused his parents to fall ill. During another disturbance, his parents were pushed to the ground and hit their heads on a nearby stone, killing them instantly.
He went to the yamen to report the case, but in the end he was told that he had caused the trouble first and they deserved it. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate this, but the yamen couldn't do anything about it.
He discovered that the arrogant young master dared to act so arrogantly because his sister, Lady Lin, had given birth to a daughter for the Crown Prince. He sought justice everywhere to no avail, and finally took his sister to the capital to beat the drum and appeal for justice.
After listening, Yinzhen looked at Tian Wenjing's weathered eyes. He was only thirty years old, yet he had already lost all his vitality. Yinzhen couldn't help but curse those who did evil in his heart.
This matter still needs to be investigated, even if it involves people in the Crown Prince's inner circle.
Tian Wenjing is truly capable; he possesses a considerable amount of evidence, enough to convict the Lin family. Once verified, the Lin family can be brought to justice.
Yinzhen immediately sent someone to investigate.
At this time, Lady Lin, who was in the Crown Prince's harem, also received the news. She had given birth to a daughter for the Crown Prince and was a concubine in the Crown Prince's harem. She was considered one of the Crown Prince's favorites.
The Lin family initially didn't take Tian Wenjing seriously, but after the imperial complaint, they naturally learned about it. The Lin family's people in the capital spent a lot of effort to pass on a message to Lin Shi in the Crown Prince's backyard, asking her to plead with the Crown Prince on his behalf.
When Lin heard the news, she almost fainted. She was furious and felt that her family was just too much troublemaker.
What kind of pressure must someone be pushed to the point that they have to resort to filing a lawsuit against the emperor?
No matter how much hatred Lin felt, she couldn't truly ignore it. With her maternal family gone, she would have no one to rely on in the palace.
Touching her belly, Lin thought to herself that she couldn't hide the fact that she was pregnant any longer.
Thinking this, around the time the Crown Prince returned from the Qianqing Palace that day, Lady Lin suddenly fainted.
The imperial physician came to take her pulse and, upon examination, discovered she was pregnant.
