Changsun Yuenu originally wanted to wait for Jiang Ming to get angry and then take it out on Chen Damei for being ignorant.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming was not angry at all; instead, his anger turned to joy. He said, "Grand Consort Changsun is indeed sensible and perceptive. She truly deserves to be my beloved consort... If you hadn't brought this up, the Queen and I wouldn't have been able to forgive the Imperial Uncle. After all, we also need a way to save face..."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Yuenu was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Jiang Ming to say such a thing.
Is this the same Khan she used to know?
In his mind, the Great Khan wasn't the kind of person who could forgive others so easily.
Her eyes darted around, and when Chen Damei and Chen Ermei saw that Jiang Ming had relented and was willing to forgive Chen Dabao, they were overjoyed and cried tears of joy, thanking Jiang Ming repeatedly.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, for sparing my brother's life!"
"Thank you, my husband..."
......
"Alright, alright!"
Jiang Ming waved his hand and said, "The world has suffered from cruel punishments for too long! It's not just the punishments in Yan; the punishments in other countries are too harsh. Taking advantage of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, I want to reorganize the laws and make them more reasonable. Otherwise, cutting off hands and feet at the drop of a hat is just too cruel... Once a person's hand is cut off, it will never grow back!"
"Husband!" Chen Damei gratefully took Jiang Ming's hand and said, "I am extremely gratified that you think this way. So many people in our Yan Kingdom have been crippled because of small mistakes, sob sob!"
"Brother-in-law, you're so good! You're the best!"
Chen Ermei also stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ming's other hand, acting coquettishly.
When the eldest and second sisters were alone with Jiang Ming, they acted just like they did when they were poor couples, without much formality, and Jiang Ming liked seeing them treat him like that.
After all... the other women, though extremely obedient to him, all harbored selfish motives, unlike these two sisters, who had not a single trace of "scheming."
"Moon Slave!"
Changsun Yuenu was still in a daze when Jiang Mingyi snapped her out of it: "Great Khan..."
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Since you were able to help me and the Empress out of this predicament, I will reward you handsomely!"
After saying that, he took out a luminous pearl from the box beside him and handed it to Changsun Yuenu.
Staring at the emerald green bead, Changsun Yuenu's eyes widened in disbelief...
This bead is the most valuable of the 100 boxes of jewels that Yixie Er presented to Jiang Ming; it's as big as a fist! It's clearly a rare treasure!
Although Jiang Ming generously rewarded his subordinates with 100 boxes of gold and silver treasures.
However, the soldiers below were also very sensible; knowing that the bead had an unusual origin, they respectfully returned it to Jiang Ming...
"Your Majesty, this... I was just..." Changsun Yuenu was flattered.
"No need for explanation, this bead is for you!"
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I hope you, like this bead, can always shine in the darkness, and when you see something unreasonable, please give me your feedback..."
At first, Changsun Yuenu was frustrated by the failure of her plan.
But seeing Jiang Ming's actions, she was moved to tears.
"Great Khan, I will certainly not fail your mission. I simply do not wish to see you in a difficult position..."
"I understand!"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Send a message to the Prime Minister Zizhi, telling him to detain Chen Dabao first, and then judge his crime after I return from Luoyi!"
"Yes, sir!"
......
Changsun Yuenu went to relay the order, and the eldest sister said to Jiang Ming, "Master, what are your plans for Jin Feng...?"
Jiang Ming frowned and pondered, "Do you remember? She tried to kill you back then..."
"Of course I remember... cough!"
The older sister sighed, "But she didn't mean you any harm, and besides, she didn't succeed, did she? And now she's gone mad..."
"Brother-in-law..."
Chen Ermei said awkwardly, "That Jin Feng is calling your name every moment now. She is really pitiful. I am a woman too, and I can feel that her feelings for you are genuine!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Ming sneered, "You two sisters are good in every way, except for one thing: you're too kind! If Jin Feng weren't crazy, she'd be a complete wolf!"
“I know…” the older sister said with a look of pity, “But, just for the sake of her deep affection for you, husband, you can’t just ignore her. She can’t even tell the difference between food and excrement anymore. Why don’t you go and check on her?”
"No need!"
Jiang Ming sighed: "If I see her, she will definitely cling to me again and be even more suicidal. Let's arrange a house for her in Dukang, find a few maids to serve her, and let her live a life of comfort and ease in her old age!"
"Sigh! That's all we can do..." Chen Damei sighed.
"Then... what about Brother-in-law, that Young Master Luo, and his two children?" Chen Ermei asked.
Jiang Ming replied, "I'll still be detained. After I return from Luoyi, I'll deal with the matter according to the new laws!"
That night, the two sisters stayed in Jiang Ming's room.
......
Having dealt with the matter of Dukang, Jiang Ming led his army back to the capital three days later, heading towards Luoyi!
Meanwhile, a dramatic upheaval was taking place within the Da Gan Dynasty!
After Emperor Ji Buyi of the Great Gan Dynasty passed away, the throne passed to his eldest son, Ji Chou.
