Chapter 375 No process, no result
For as long as Wei Liangchen stood in front of the Lang residence, Lang Mingyue sat at the entrance of the Lang residence for the same amount of time.
As the sun began to set, Lang Mingyue spoke calmly, "Minister Wei, I accept your apology."
The servants carried Lang Mingyue back to the mansion.
Lang Qingfeng said to the servant, "Go and take back the brambles. If someone is foolish enough to do this again, we'll have to keep using them."
The servant of the Wei family helped Wei Liangchen up with a worried expression.
Wei Liangchen looked at Lang Qingfeng and said, "Lord Lang, is it worth it to make an enemy of the Wei family for a dying man?"
Lang Qingfeng didn't answer his question, but just stared at him directly.
A contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
He turned and left, yelling, "Close the door!"
Wei Liangchen stared at the slowly closing door, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
When Ajiao and Aman returned to Qianniaosi, they told Qin Jinzhi about Wei Liangchen's appearance in front of the Lang Mansion.
Ah Man laughed loudly, "You didn't see how Wei Liangchen looked at me and Ah Jiao as if he wanted to eat us alive."
Gillian Chung also said with a smile, "But the Lang family is quite tough, otherwise we would have no use for our skills."
Qin Jinzhi smiled as she opened the official document. "It was beyond my expectations that Wei Liangchen would obediently come to apologize. He was even thinking of using this opportunity to cause another scene. It seems that someone instructed him to do something."
Ah Man put her hands on her hips and said, "However, today in front of the Lang residence, many people are saying that Mr. Lang is misleading young people."
Qin Jinzhi said casually, "Such shocking remarks will naturally elicit different opinions."
Gillian asked, "Should we use Chidori's people to handle this?"
Qin Jinzhi's expression remained unchanged.
"No need, we just want Mr. Lang's words to spread throughout the State of Jin."
The more fiercely they resisted, the longer the controversy persisted.
You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, so never seek their approval.
But people can think, and thinking is the origin of people's struggle against fate.
Without process, there will never be result.
After finishing her shift, Qin Jinzhi took a carriage to a residence.
The calligraphy on the plaque of that house was exactly the same as Qin Jinzhi's.
Cui Ying greeted Qin Jinzhi at the entrance of the house.
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi alight from the carriage, he immediately walked excitedly to her side and said, "Qin Jinzhi, you are truly my half-sister! You actually managed to get Daoist Changfeng to inscribe a message for my residence!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Of course, we should present a nice gift to celebrate your housewarming."
Cui Ying said in a dramatic tone, "I'm about to cry, it's so touching."
Qin Jinzhi walked inside with a look of disgust.
Cui Ying chased after him, "Have you heard? Xiao Chuan caused a scene at the Dali Temple and got arrested."
Qin Jinzhi wasn't surprised at all. "It would be abnormal if he didn't cause trouble."
Cui Ying whispered, "His Majesty issued the decree to arrest him personally. Could it be that he really isn't His Majesty's biological son?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "You'll have to ask Consort Shen about that."
Cui Ying pouted and asked Consort Shen, "Won't you go crazy?"
Qin Jinzhi walked into the inner hall, where Madam Li had been waiting for a long time.
She stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi said, "Auntie, you're too kind."
Madam Li smiled and led Qin Jinzhi to the head seat.
After Qin Jinzhi sat down, she looked at Cui Ying and asked, "Now that you are the head of the Cui family, why do you still need to buy a house?"
Cui Ying smiled.
"That Cui family mansion was bought by my father after he became prime minister."
As my father's power grew, the clan decided to move the ancestral hall to my father's mansion.
This house now has no connection with the Cui family whatsoever.
If my mother passes away a hundred years later, her memorial tablet will be placed in the highest position.
Those worshipped here are all my descendants, Cui Ying's children.
Whether my future children are male or female, when I pass away, they may come to the ancestral hall to offer incense for me whenever they miss me.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Cui Ying and asked, "Then why did you accept the position of family head?"
Cui Ying's eyes shone with light. "The reputation of the Cui family as the number one clan for a hundred years is not an exaggeration. It's just that people's hearts have become restless and they have forgotten their original intentions. A hundred years ago, the Cui family was a noble family of integrity. I yearn for that and want to restore the Cui family to its original state, even though I know how long this world is."
Qin Jinzhi picked up her teacup. "A toast to the future."
Cui Ying raised her glass. "Let's encourage each other."
Cui Ying invited only Qin Jinzhi to her housewarming party.
So there were only the three of them at the dinner table.
Lady Li looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "Princess, I have a request that may be made."
Qin Jinzhi put down her teacup. "Please speak, Madam Li."
Madam Li looked at Qin Jinzhi, "I've heard that the White Crane Academy was founded with the support of the princess?"
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "That's right."
Madam Li looked at Qin Jinzhi and asked, "I wonder if I am qualified to be a teacher at Baihe Academy?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Madam Li with some surprise.
Madam Li quickly replied, "I know my talent is not as outstanding as Mr. Lang's, but I can teach the young children some simple characters."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said:
“Madam Li, I am not questioning your talent.”
You come from a distinguished family with a rich academic tradition, and Cui Ying's achievements are inseparable from your upbringing.
But there's one thing you should know: if you join the White Crane Academy, you'll face anything from questioning to being verbally abused.
The challenges facing White Crane Academy are no easy task.
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“Princess, to be honest, I never imagined that my Ah Ying would have such good fortune today.”
Women serving as officials, women entering the imperial court, women becoming heads of households—these were things I never dared to imagine before.
But nowadays, women can also achieve great things.
If my daughter is alright, why should I confine myself to this house?
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "As expected, Cui Ying has inherited your excellent legacy."
Madam Li smiled and drank the wine in her cup.
Cui Ying drank quite a bit, after settling the people in.
Qin Jinzhi left the Cui residence.
On her way back to the palace, she thought that the palace should have received the news from Cangzhou by now.
Consort Shen was determined to become Empress Dowager, so she swapped her son and daughter with her.
But what would she think if she found out that her daughter had killed her son with her own hands?
Consort Shen looked at the letter in her hand and felt a buzzing in her head.
Her own son is dead?
He was killed by his own sister!
impossible!
That's impossible!
Consort Shen swept everything off the table and onto the ground.
"Where are the people who returned from Cangzhou? Tell them to come see me!"
Consort Shen's voice was shrill, and she almost lost her balance.
The palace maids all knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the palace is now under martial law. Ever since the Imperial Guards discovered spies in the palace a few days ago, all the spies in the palace have been purged. Any sentries who are discovered entering the palace are all executed as assassins!"
Consort Shen, her eyes red, looked at the palace maid and said, "I want to leave the palace! I want to see Shen Cha!"
The palace maid hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty! It's curfew now. No one is allowed to leave the palace without His Majesty's decree!"
Consort Shen watched as everyone went berserk and roared uncontrollably.
Just then, an announcement came from the doorway.
"Your Majesty, Consort Fang requests an audience."
