Chapter 308: Apology, unexpected event
Earlier, after Emperor Wu Su woke up and learned the news of Ji Qingwu's marriage, he was so angry that he vomited blood, which really shocked them all.
At that time, Li Yuzong, Lu Duan and the other two left the hall, gathered together and reached a consensus on the matter of Ji Qingwu.
Emperor Wu Su's coughing up blood made them begin to reflect on whether they had not done enough as his subjects.
There is only one emperor. If he gets angry, where can they find another wise ruler like him?
So, several enthusiastic ministers touched their heads together, wanting to share the emperor's worries.
Therefore, the result of their discussion was that from now on, they would treat the affairs of Miss Ji Wu as the Emperor's business and handle them with all their heart.
The more satisfied Ji Qingwu is, the less worried Emperor Wu Su will be.
There was silence in Zhaoyang Palace.
Emperor Wu Su sat behind the imperial desk with a sullen look on his face.
Li Yuzong withdrew his thoughts and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Lord Lu is just concerned about Miss Ji's safety."
Zhao Mingyan said coldly: "Why is Lu Juan taking the initiative? It's his turn to stand out."
This tone, this demeanor...
Li Yuzong figured it out and realized that it was not good for them to be too caring.
"Then, I will go and ask Lord Lu to go back." As he said this, he was already ready to leave.
Zhao Mingyan waved his hands and said reluctantly: "Forget it, let him be."
Then he added: "After nightfall, ask him to come to the palace."
Li Yuzong lowered his head and stepped aside. When Emperor Wu Su was looking at the car map, his eyes rolled around.
They still need to find time to meet and hold a small meeting to strike the right balance.

When Lu Juan arrived at the Song Mansion.
As soon as the gatekeeper opened the door for him, he saw a shining golden archway standing before him.
Lu Juan paused.
He had heard of this archway before, but what really surprised him was that it was full of people standing in front of it.
The servants in the mansion carried him on their backs and stood in seven rows.
Anyone who comes in and sees such a scene would be deterred.
Just as Lu Juan was stroking his chin and analyzing whether such a big scene was a sign that Song Wei wanted to drive him out of the Song Mansion, or a ceremony to welcome him...
The crowd suddenly dispersed, and Lu Juan alertly hid behind the thick black doorpost.
The touch was warm and smooth, and he explored it carefully, discovering that the outer layer of the stone pillar was covered with a layer of black jade. The Song family's wealth was truly enough to overthrow half of the country.
Before Lu Juan finished his sigh, he heard a familiar soft voice again.
"I chose this compromise solution at the request of Lord Su."
Ji Qingwu walked at a leisurely pace to the opposite side of the crowd, with two people following behind him.
"At the beginning, Lord Song brought people to the clinic to make trouble. In front of the people in Lin'an City, he said that my clinic killed people, which caused immeasurable damage to the reputation of the clinic."
"Now, I just want you to apologize in front of everyone in the mansion. It's not too much, right?"
Lu Juan touched Xuan Yu, listened to Ji Qingwu's frank and generous words, and cheered for this fifth sister in his heart.
It seems that he doesn't need to show up.
Lu Juan was overwhelmed with emotions. Not long ago, this fifth sister always looked aggrieved whenever something happened, and she was delicate in her bones.
Now, he is so powerful that he can still punish his son-in-law in a pretentious manner in front of that old fox Su Xiang.
But what did Ji Qingwu mean by this “small apology”?
Lu Juan quietly turned his head to look.
Song Wei's face was tense, as if covered with a layer of gray-black paste.
He glanced at Su Fengyue, and seeing that he remained silent, he could only admit defeat.
Song Wei said unwillingly: "Madam Wei, you and I will still meet in Lin'an in the future, so why not give us some face?"
Ji Qingwu asked, "Master Song, when and where do you think we will meet next time?"
Song Wei hinted, "No one will always be smooth sailing. If Madam Wei is useful to me in the future, I will remember Madam Wei's generosity today."
The Song family's wealth was enough to arouse envy, and many dignitaries vied to make friends with them. The fact that Prime Minister Su married his daughter to Song Wei was also due to the Song family's great wealth.
Ji Qingwu said indifferently: "But I am small and insignificant, Lord Song should be more straightforward and do it quickly, the sun is about to set."
Seeing that his lobbying was in vain, Song Wei took a deep breath, shook his sleeves and stood in front of all the family members and servants in the mansion.
In full view of everyone, he first took off his fourth-grade blue robe and put on his inner clothes.
After he undressed in public, the muscles under his eyes throbbed, and he took off the golden crown on his head.
Men must wear a crown in their hair after they reach adulthood, and taking off the crown is a great shame.
Song Wei bowed in a dishevelled manner.
A strange look flashed across Ji Qingwu's eyes, and he waited until he finished his greeting and raised his head.
She said with a faint smile on her face, "That won't do."
Song Wei gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"
Ji Qingwu's eyes fell on his black boots: "According to the rules of the noble families, you should be barefoot and take off your hat, and apologize. Sir Song, there is still one thing missing."
She sought the opinions of those around her and asked, "Master Su, you have seen a lot, right?"
Su Fengyue nodded and said, "That's right."
But Ji Qingwu could have reminded Song Wei before he saluted.
But she didn't.
Lu Juan, hiding behind the doorpost, smiled silently.
He made another discovery.
Before, he had misjudged the fifth sister, thinking she was a piece of glutinous white mutton-fat jade, but he didn't expect her to be a black and hard dark blue jade.
Song Wei had no choice but to bend down and take off his boots and socks. With resentment in his eyes, he stood on the stone road and bowed to Ji Qingwu to apologize again.
This time, Ji Qingwu nodded with satisfaction.
"I have received your apology, Master Song. Please do not do it again in the future."
Ji Qingwu said: "Otherwise, I am afraid that next time we meet, I don't know how Mr. Song will greet me."
"Okay, Song will wait for next time!"
The servants around Song Wei hurried up to help him dress, but he scolded them back. He then left with his shoes, socks and clothes.
Normally speaking, few officials in the court would go barefoot and take off their hats to apologize.
Because...I can't bear such humiliation.
But Song Wei is a person who values profit over integrity.
Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were the lowest. In order to be able to enter the court as an official, Song Wei learned of Prime Minister Su's hobbies and deliberately catered to them. As a result, he got the opportunity to marry his daughter, which enabled him to enter the court as an official.
Ji Qingwu picked the right weak target.
Seeing that he had nothing to do here, Lu Juan left first in a low profile.
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm leaving now. Sir Su, you don't have to see me off."
Su Fengyue smiled and said, "I am about to leave too, so let's go together with Madam Wei."
But Ji Qingwu left before he could finish his words.
Su Fengyue looked at the light green and graceful figure, watching her disappear at the gate. The smile on his face disappeared, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Ji Qingwu frowned as he walked out of the Song Mansion.
Su Daiyue seemed to be very afraid to return to the Su family. She would rather stay with Song Wei, who might harm her life at any time, or even choose to die rather than return to the Su family.
As Ji Qingwu walked, he put all his thoughts together in his mind.
Suddenly.
It was as if there was a short circuit in my brain, and there was a large blank space.
