Fang Qingyue hurriedly helped her up.
Since he had decided to keep the blind girl, Fang Qingyue asked her name first.
After knowing that her name was Zhaodi, Fang Qingyue frowned even more tightly.
In today's world, men always enjoy more benefits and suffer less grievances than women.
Fang Xifu had not only treated her as his daughter since she was young, but also taught her to read and write. She naturally knew how much malice there was in this name.
"I don't like your name. Can I give you a name?" However, she still wanted to ask the blind girl's opinion first.
"You are willing to cure my illness and take me in. Of course I am willing to stay by your side as a slave. Please take me in." The blind girl said immediately.
"There's no need to be a slave. How about this, my name is Fang Qingyue, and you call yourself Fang Chiyue. To everyone, you are my sister." Fang Qingyue said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Fang Chiyue nodded vigorously, holding Fang Qingyue's hand tightly, and the tears in her eyes rolled down like beads with broken strings.
She has lived for more than ten years, and no one has ever treated her as well as Fang Qingyue.
In the future, she must repay the favor.
Fang Qingyue had only given her acupuncture a few times, so Fang Chiyue could only see a little light at present, which was not enough to see the human figure clearly.
Fang Qingyue simply continued to give Fang Chiyue acupuncture and boiled some medicine for her to drink.
Fang Chiyue settled down in the courtyard behind the clinic.
On weekdays, when she was free, she would do some cleaning and sweeping. As for buying groceries and cooking, she almost took care of it all by herself.
Fang Qingyue no longer had to go out to eat, so she had more time to study medical books. Within a few days, she developed two sachets with different effects, which sold very well in Beijing.
The two of them lived a prosperous life, but Shen Yuhan was walking on thin ice.
Since he was deprived of his jade token, he has been staying in his mansion and never goes out.
Of course, he still had to attend the morning court, but every time he went to court, he would face impeachment from different officials.
Previously, Shen Yuhan was powerful and impartial, and he had offended many officials in the capital.
Moreover, he has a very high opinion of himself and does not join any faction, and is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of almost all factions.
Now that he sees that he is in a weak position, he naturally wants to trample Shen Yuhan into the mud and make sure he never has a chance to turn things around.
Shen Yuhan attended the morning court for a few more days, and every morning court session was as noisy as a vegetable market. The emperor couldn't bear to see him being criticized so much, and he was also annoyed, so he simply forgave him from attending the morning court.
After returning to the mansion, Shen Yuhan was not idle.
Now that he has been dismissed from his post, he has more time to investigate the incident of Fang Xifu and the people who colluded with the Minister of War.
It was previously discovered that the Minister of War might be colluding with Li Junyi, and now the investigation is focused on this area.
After a few days of investigation, Chi Feng actually found out some information that Shen Yuhan didn't know.
"Li Junyi is the daughter of the former Minister of War. Previously, the Li family and the Ning family had an engagement."
The Li family had only one daughter, Li Junyi, and the Ning family had only one son, Ning Liangcai. The engagement was naturally between the two of them.
"However, later on, I don't know how Ning Liangcai's father offended the emperor, but he was dismissed from his post and investigated, and even the Ning family's house was raided. The Ning family was in chaos, and those who had previously surrounded the Ning family began to take advantage of their misfortune."
Li Junyi's father was just a minor official, so naturally he didn't dare to continue associating with the Ning family.
The engagement between Li Junyi and Ning Liangcai was thus called off.
Later, Li Junyi's father set his sights on the Shen family again, when the old marquis was still alive. The Li family was considered a family of scholars, and since Li Junyi had met Shen Yu'an several times, Shen Yu'an also took a fancy to Li Junyi and made an engagement with the Li family.
When the two were about to get married, the Ning family was rehabilitated. Ning Liangcai, relying on his knowledge, became the top scholar of the year.
"At that time, the emperor wanted to appoint a princess to Ning Liangcai as compensation." Shen Yuhan's eyes were gloomy when he heard this.
"Yes, but Ning Liangcai refused on the pretext that he had no interest in marriage."
Secretly, he contacted Li Junyi again.
However, the Shen family was powerful, and the Li family had worked hard to curry favor with them before the engagement was finalized. If they were to break off the engagement easily, they would probably anger the Shen family. So, Li Junyi married anyway.
There is some speculation among them.
However, before Li Junyi and Shen Yu'an got married, they did have contact.
Shen Yuhan knocked on the table and said nothing.
In fact, he was almost certain that there must be an unspeakable relationship between Li Junyi and Ning Liangcai.
However, this matter involved the Shen family's reputation, and even though he had moved out, he still couldn't help but care. Without solid evidence, he didn't want this scandal to become known to everyone.
"In addition, I have also found some clues." Chi Feng respectfully handed over another document.
"Back then, Ning Liangcai's father seemed to have offended the Prime Minister, which led to his catastrophic death. Not long after, someone saw Ning Liangcai paying a visit to the Prime Minister's residence."
Many officials of the Da Zheng would contact the candidates who participated in the Spring Examination before and after it, in order to make those candidates willing to serve them after being nominated for the gang.
The person who contacted Ning Liangcai at that time was Zhou Shiran.
"Since then, Father Ning has been rehabilitated."
These are just trivial matters, but now when you look closely, there are quite a few tricks involved.
"Go and check." Shen Yuhan clenched the teacup in his hand, his tone cold, "See if Ning Liangcai did anything after colluding with Zhou Shiran."
He was still young and had never met Ning Liangcai's father, but he had heard of Ning's father several times from his father.
I heard that Mr. Ning has always been an upright man and has handled many cases in the Inspectorate.
However, his temper was too upright and he had offended many people in the court.
This kind of person couldn't possibly be connected to Zhou Shiran. Zhou Shiran's willingness to help Ning's father redress his wrongdoing was indeed highly questionable.
Another day passed, and Chi Feng hurried in with an extremely grim expression on his face. "Master, I've found out that Ning Liangcai and Zhou Shiran were secretly giving and receiving money, and secretly embezzled a lot of military funds."
If this is true, then there is still much to say about the case of Fang Xifu.
Hearing this, the coldness in Shen Yuhan's eyes became even stronger, and there was even a hint of anger in them.
The reason why he was named King of Jian'an at such a young age was because he had fought in the border areas for several years and made great contributions.
Later, after he returned to Beijing, some people were worried about his power, so they wrote to the emperor asking him to forcibly keep him in Beijing.
With generals guarding the border, there would be no mistakes. Shen Yuhan had since become the head of the Inspectorate.
But he still has feelings for the soldiers in the army.
Shen Yuhan knew better than anyone how important military expenditure was. Military expenditure meant the combat effectiveness of the army. Whether it was recruiting soldiers, forging weapons, or purchasing food and fodder, all of these required military expenditure.
He even dared to embezzle military funds, fearing that the expedition would fall into the hands of the Northern Di if delayed for a few days.
He was furious, but now that he had been dismissed from his job, the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.
If he reported this to the emperor at this time, he would easily be impeached for not wanting to give up power. If the emperor became suspicious, it would only lead to greater trouble.
