As soon as Yan Bao heard that Prime Minister Shen had been reported, she immediately hugged her father when he returned: "Daddy, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I caused you to be reported by your mortal enemy."
"Don't worry, Daddy. I will avenge you. I know all the bad things that Lord Wang did. He's very ambitious. Bribery and corruption are minor offenses. Lord Wang is a man of the King of Dongshan. One of his concubines took a concubine in the King's mansion and gave birth to a son. He's obsessed with the King of Dongshan!"
Shen Shoufu: “???”
Yanbao, why didn’t you say so earlier?
[Father, just watch. The Emperor knows the ambitions of the King of Dongshan. If the King of Dongshan makes a move, the old bastard will definitely be exposed. The old bastard and his family will not be able to escape. Their property will be confiscated and they will be exiled.]
Shen Shoufu almost laughed, old bastard?
Yanbao, you know how to give names.
Yes, that old bastard. The current emperor treats him well, but he is loyal to King Dongshan and wants to be the father-in-law of the emperor, right?
Is it so easy to be the father-in-law of the emperor?
Chief Minister Shen knew the secret of Lord Wang, but he would not sit and wait for King Dongshan to take action. He had to find a way to let the emperor know that Lord Wang was King Dongshan's man, and that the emperor and his ministers were alienated, and he was the emperor's favorite minister.
The treacherous minister Shen Shoufu smiled evilly.
Zhao Zhi was soon sent out of the capital. On the day Zhao Zhi was sent away, Yan Bao went to watch the excitement. Seeing a little scholar become a prisoner, many people from their village came to watch the excitement.
Knowing that he had done something wrong, he threw away a lot of rotten vegetable leaves.
When Zhao Zhi saw Yue Lingwan in the crowd, he immediately knelt down and begged Yue Lingwan to let him go. He was scared, really scared. He would have to do hard labor for the rest of his life. He couldn't lift anything with his hands or on his shoulders. He was afraid that he would not live for more than three days.
Yue Lingwan didn't care: "He deserves it."
Yan Bao agreed with this statement.
Seeing Zhao Zhi being taken away in a panic by the police, Yan Bao felt happy.
It was a rare opportunity for them to come out, and they didn't plan to just go back after seeing the fun.
Yan Bao wants to have tea, and Yue Lingwan wants to have tea.
They requested a private room on the second floor and listened to the storyteller downstairs telling the story of Princess Taining's efforts to eliminate evil for the people. Yan Bao blushed slightly: "Oh, how embarrassing! I didn't do anything wrong. How can the storyteller write me off so well?"
Yue Lingwan listened with great interest, especially when the storyteller praised Yan Bao as a heroine and a role model among children. She applauded and looked at Yan Bao with shining eyes, feeling so proud of herself.
If Yan Bao wasn't thick-skinned, he would have walked with his head down.
They ate and drank in the teahouse, and Yue Lingwan was still reluctant to leave.
Yan Bao promised that they would go out for a walk again when she had time.
Yue Lingwan was moved: "I heard that the theaters in the capital are very lively. Should we go to the theater to watch a play next time?"
Yan Bao nodded.
In late February, spring has finally arrived in Beijing. Peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms, and crabapple blossoms are all in bloom. Many people who have been stuck at home for a winter start to go out for spring outings.
Mrs. Shen received many invitations, all of which were for banquets.
Madam Shen did not go to every family. She accepted the task of finding a husband for Yue Lingwan from Prime Minister Shen. If there was a young man of the right age in the family, Madam Shen would inquire about his character. If he was not bad, she would go to the banquet to take a look.
She will also bring Yue Lingwan with her to see the world and let the other ladies see Yue Lingwan. Talking about marriage is a matter for both parties. They can talk about it if they are attracted to each other. It is just a trial stage at present.
Yan Bao knew that Madam Shen was looking for a husband for Yue Lingwan, so he went to join in the fun. When he realized which young man Madam Shen was interested in, Yan Bao saw that man's mother, or sister-in-law, or aunt, or uncle, or something like that.
Although he didn't see them in person, Yan Bao could still learn some things about those young masters from their relatives.
After reading it, Yan Bao complained in his heart: [Oh my god, this is a short-sleeved shirt. I can't marry my cousin there. Isn't this a marriage fraud? My cousin can't live like a widow.]
Mrs. Shen, who was originally willing to chat for a few more words, immediately changed the subject when she heard this. The other party obviously felt her lack of interest and was reluctant to continue talking, knowing that it would be difficult to establish a relationship with Prime Minister Shen's family.
Another lady fell in love with Yue Lingwan and deliberately talked to Madam Shen, also with the intention of marrying into the family of Prime Minister Shen. With the Prime Minister as her family member, their family had to be fine.
Mrs. Shen knew the young master of this family. She had played polo with Brother Shen before. He seemed to be a nice guy, so Mrs. Shen was interested in chatting with him more.
Yan Bao curled his lips: [Mother, don't listen to his nonsense. This man has slept with every maid in the mansion who is a little bit pretty, and even had a child with her. Does this mean that my cousin will become his mother if she marries him?]
Mrs. Shen: “….”
Later, another person came and talked about how outstanding and filial his son was, and how honest and loyal he was, without any ulterior motives.
Yan Bao almost rolled his eyes: [How dare such a moron introduce someone to my cousin? Doesn't he want to be ruthless? It's because he can't. He's using this idiot to harm my cousin, thinking that my cousin can't get married?]
With Yan Bao around, Mrs. Shen was not afraid of the other party lying at all, because Yan Bao could see through the lies and see the essence.
She is an expert at identifying scumbags.
Mrs. Shen only then realized that the second young master, who rarely showed up, was not unwilling to show up, but was afraid that he would be laughed at and seen as a fool if he showed up.
He doesn't look like the Thirteenth Prince, he's just pretending.
People are really stupid.
Madam Shen will not indulge the other party. She dares to use a fool to fool people, so she doesn’t take Madam Shen seriously.
Madam Shen directly confronted the lady: "I heard that your son is not very smart, is that true?"
The fool's mother was so angry that her face turned red and white: "He... He is just a little slow to react. He is a really good person. He has no bad intentions and is very well-behaved and obedient."
