After receiving a letter from home, Shen Huaixu was not in a hurry to leave.
The letter consisted of three long parts. After she read them one by one, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
She had been in Nanxia for more than two months. During these two months, Nanxia had experienced palace coups, rebellions, and changes of dynasties, while Dajin was like a beast that had just experienced a fierce battle and was taking a nap to recuperate.
The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty intended to delegate power to the Crown Prince, and he did a good job in the few tasks he was assigned to do.
The fact that Jiang Erlang was sent to Huainan Prefecture did not affect the Jiang family's foothold in the capital. Jiang Boliang and his wife were very busy, especially Jiang Boliang, who would go to Songjiao Tower every day.
Jiang Dalang studied hard every day, Zheng Li Niang helped Qian Xiuzhu take care of the household chores, Jiang Sanlang took care of the fields in her fiefdom and got himself tanned by his stubbornness, while Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were busy learning painting and working as a medicine boy respectively...
Afterwards, Shen Su wrote about things at home, such as the good growth of the grape trellis she planted. Shen Su also asked the cook at home to make a lot of fresh food that she had prepared when she was at home... The most important thing was that Xiao Lihua had gained weight.
In order to illustrate his two-month achievement more vividly and concretely, her father also drew a picture of a raccoon cat playing with a butterfly and placed it under the three sheets of letter paper.
When Shen Huaixu opened it, she almost laughed to death. If it weren't for her father's excellent painting skills, she would have thought the cat was a ball.
After stopping laughing, she carefully folded up the "Civet Cat Playing with Butterfly", intending to show it to Fu Yin tomorrow.
It's strange to say, when Shen Huaixu raised little Lihua in his mansion, her father didn't like to play with cats very much, but little Lihua always liked to nestle at her father's feet, and always meowed with a pinched voice.
Now that she's gone, the relationship between the man and the cat has gotten better. Otherwise, how could they have become so close?
Knowing that everything was fine at home, Shen Huaixu wanted to stay for a few more days.
She wanted to see how Fuyin, the regent, was doing.
So in the next few days, she continued to be a diligent little servant, following Mr. He to do some work like serving tea and water, and then - then she watched the show excitedly.
For example, at this moment, she was standing behind Mr. He, with several ministers standing in front of her. The leader was an old man with white hair and beard.
Even though the old man's body was slightly hunched, his back was straight. His eyes, looking at He Yin, were filled with fearlessness of power and undisguised disdain and disgust.
"I have served as an official for thirty years, never making a single mistake. Suddenly, the situation has changed, treacherous officials are in power, and the country is in jeopardy. I am old and have the will but not the strength. Please tell His Majesty to allow me to resign and return home!"
His righteous words offended many people, including Mr. He, who was playing with the white jade beads in his hand with a dull look.
Not to mention that the old man didn't even kneel. He knew that the emperor was young and couldn't understand what he said, but he let He Yin act as a mouthpiece, like he was ordering someone around.
Shen Huaixu had an impression of this old man and the people behind him.
Ever since Wei Yunjue's 'death', many officials in the court of Southern Xia have been hoping that the He family and He Yin would side with them. However, there are always a few who don't believe in evil. They don't believe that He Yin is some crazy crane god, nor do they believe that Wei Yunjue has died in the fire. They firmly believe that He Yin has evil intentions and is plotting something evil.
Among them are the forces of the witch, and also loyal ministers who feel that there is something fishy going on. The old man belongs to the latter. He is not only clear-sighted but also difficult to deal with.
A few days ago, he led a group of ministers to kneel outside the palace for a whole morning, requesting a thorough investigation into the death of the late emperor and even wanting to pledge his life. However, before they could touch the pillar, the old man fainted due to the strong sun.
The leader fainted, and the other ministers also lost their confidence. In order to avoid being punished, they packed up and left first.
The old man's health had just improved these two days, but he is now threatening to resign again.
Shen Huaixu's gaze moved around the ministers and finally landed on Fu Yin.
Fu Yin was not unaware of these people's speculations, but he had been busy with affairs recently and ignored such trivial matters.
He only needed to preserve the Southern Xia Kingdom for three years, and he didn't want to risk his life, let alone expand the territory for Southern Xia. For those who disobeyed him, he just wanted them to get out or take their lives.
It was exactly what he wanted that the old man surnamed Zhu could resign from his official position on his own initiative.
"Alright." Remembering that Shen Huaixu was standing behind him, he paused, at least to appear more humane, and said indifferently: "Master Zhu, have a safe journey."
The tone and content might sound fine to others, but to Lord Zhu, it sounded like a naked threat. Dozens of "accidents" on the way home flashed through his mind in an instant, and Lord Zhu's face became extremely ugly.
He pointed at He Yin's nose and cursed, "There are so many royal heirs, how can you be the one giving orders?! Who do you think you are? I'm resigning from His Majesty, not from you, a charlatan! My loyalty is to Nanxia and the Wei family. What does this have to do with a lunatic like you?!"
Fu Yin was still sitting steadily in the position where Wei Yunjue used to sit. He had a playful look under his mask and tilted his head to give Shen Huaixu a wink.
Preface to Shen Huai:
Seeing that Chen Huaixu didn't move, he hid one hand under the desk and tugged at Chen Huaixu's sleeve.
Shen Huaixu took a step forward, trying his best not to act like a eunuch.
"Lord Zhu, it's not impossible for you to see His Majesty, but Your Majesty is young and uninformed. How can I allow you to resign? My master is in the position of regent out of necessity. Since Lord Zhu feels that my master should not hold this position, why not first consult the entire court and the people of the world?"
Finally, she blinked slowly and said with a smile: "As for whether my master is a charlatan, there is no evidence from empty words. Lord Zhu can feel it for himself."
Lord Zhu was originally furious when he saw He Yin calling a servant to send him away. However, when he was about to speak, the servant spoke first and asked him questions one after another, leaving him at a loss for words. The last sentence made his hair stand on end.
He took a step back, glaring angrily: "What do you mean, you brat?!"
