I heard that after the grand court assembly that day, the Wei family was filled with wails of despair.
One funeral after another occurred in the civil service circles of the capital.
The Minister of Personnel's home, which was surrounded by men led by a sharp sword, was also shrouded in gloom.
They just can't go out, they're not deaf.
The wails and curses of the neighbors could be heard.
Several families shut their doors inside and began hurling insults at the new emperor. Before an hour had passed, the Imperial Guards had taken them away.
Lord Shen staggered a few steps and slumped into a chair in the main hall.
He had thought about dying, and he was prepared to die, but he couldn't have his whole family with him.
He was implicated, and the Minister of Personnel did not believe that the new emperor had not investigated the matter thoroughly.
"Master? Master?"
Madam Shen nudged the man twice, but he didn't respond. The woman became anxious and called someone to bring Shen Qinghe over.
Shen Qinghe was brought here by the Imperial Guards. It seems that his father is ill, so as his son, he should come and check on him, right?
"father?"
Shen Qinghe arrived at just the right time, just as Lord Shen was coming to his senses.
He grabbed his son's sleeve, his expression flustered, and said:
"Father must find a way to see the Emperor. We absolutely cannot let this matter cost the whole family our lives."
"Do you have any classmates at the Imperial Academy who can speak to the new emperor?"
Shen Qinghe pondered for a moment, then squatted down and said in a voice only the three of them could hear:
“Father, I… I can ask Scholar Huo. If she… she can plead for us, she should be able to save our lives before the Emperor. At the very least, she can protect our collateral branches.”
Both Lord Shen and his wife knew that Huo Panlijian was on good terms with the emperor in the capital and was practically praising Huo Xiaolong to the skies.
“How could Scholar Huo plead for the Shen family? My son, even if you… we cannot…”
"Yes, Qinghe, your mother is right. You've seen how Scholar Huo acts. As long as the emperor sets his mind on something, she will definitely get it done."
The man, standing in front of his parents, clenched his sleeves and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"A child will not have unrequited love for no reason."
The Shen couple were both shocked.
Shen Qinghe meant that I didn't have a one-sided crush on Huo Panlijian, and Huo Panlijian liked me too.
main……
What the couple was thinking was...
Son, why don't you just keep your unrequited love? It's terrifying that you and she are mutually attracted and developing feelings for each other.
No matter where you two live, you always have to go home to visit each other during holidays, right?
At that time, even the dogs of the Shen family will have to shut up, for fear that Huo Panlijian will think that it is talking badly about Huo Xiaolong.
"Father and Mother, rest assured, I will do my best."
