The most depressed thing now is Xia Xuejian. She finally had the chance to show her face in front of everyone, but not only did no one applaud her, but now her own family is almost lost.

This was something she had never expected, but now that it had happened, it was useless for her to feel upset and regretful. She could only say that she was careless and underestimated Ning Qingqing, who was really a tough character.

Right from the start, he cut off the source of the problem and tried to bring down her father.

In a large mansion, everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together. If her father fell, not to mention her meritorious service in treating the victims, even if she had meritorious service in protecting the emperor, she would be implicated and would no longer have a place to stand in the capital.

Therefore, the most important thing for her at the moment is not to investigate Ye Qingwan’s fake medicine, but to clear her father’s name first.

Her ally in the Minister of Justice was not in vain. She quickly copied a copy of the evidence and gave it to Youwei, asking him to pass it on to Xia Xuejian.

Xia Xuejian had looked into it and found that the official in charge of disaster relief grain was indeed corrupt and accepted bribes. The imperial court had originally allocated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for disaster relief, but when it reached the hands of the local county government, only less than 30,000 taels were left.

The county government had no choice but to buy some low-quality rice and cotton-padded clothes. The daily relief porridge was so thick that chopsticks could not even stand up on it, not even one centimeter thick. It was even worse than the rice washing water of the past.

The cotton-padded clothes were filled with leaves instead of cotton, which caused a large number of victims to starve to death or freeze to death. Finally, the victims could not bear it anymore and rioted, smashing the county government office and even killing several ministers who went down to provide disaster relief.

The matter finally became a big deal and the county government could no longer suppress it, so it reported it to the court. The emperor was so angry that he executed several officials in charge of disaster relief grain on the spot. His father, as a participant, was also imprisoned and questioned.

But there is no direct evidence to prove that his father was also involved in corruption and bribery. It is obvious that he was implicated innocently.

This is what's so troublesome. If the emperor had evidence, he could convict and punish the officials accordingly. But now he has no evidence to convict any official, so he might as well hold them all accountable. No one can escape. This is scary.

How should she now find a way to prove that her father is not guilty? Instead, she has to prove that those officials are guilty, so that the emperor will release the innocent officials.

Xia Xuejian is feeling really bad now. She has worked so hard step by step to get to where she is today. Just when things were getting a little better, she was hit back to square one and even ruined her reputation before she had the chance to enjoy any honor.

She was very angry, but she couldn't confront Ning Qingqing head-on. After all, most of her support now came from the sect. Once she exposed her grudge with Ning Qingqing, the sect would definitely turn around and deal with her immediately.

The loss outweighs the gain, so you still have to endure it.

Xia Xuejian just felt aggrieved. What was wrong with Ning Qingqing? How did she provoke her to make her do such a thing to her?

Big sister, I didn’t provoke your senior brother Xingmu, right?

I've only met him a few times, and we probably didn't talk more than ten sentences. Is it that important to you?

I have never seen such a crazy woman.

Compared to Xia Xuejian's annoyance, Ye Qingwan was feeling very happy. She was eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks in Yihong Tower, with a girl beside her massaging her legs and shoulders.

Sometimes he asks you if you are cold, sometimes he asks you if you are hot, and whether the strength is enough. He is very considerate.

As for her good Cuicui, she had already been released from her indenture, and she had bought her a house and land so that she could also be a lady for a while.

Just enjoy yourself, it won't be long before she's in trouble.

Once the emperor has dealt with the disaster relief affairs, he will have time to train her, and she is ready for imprisonment or exile.

Then she had to find someone to take the blame for her mistake, so she framed Nangong Muyun for treason. As a result, she was exiled and Nangong Muyun was also imprisoned. The rest was up to our great heroine to perform.

As he was touching the little girl's hand, the housekeeper came over.

It must be a big deal for the old butler to come out in person to look for her. Ye Qingwan quickly put away her unruly look and followed him back home respectfully.

Her father had been waiting for her in the study room. When he saw her come back, he asked someone to bring her a hot water bottle to warm her hands. Then he said, "Dad already knows about today's disaster relief and medicine distribution."

"I'm sorry, Dad. My daughter has caused you trouble again."

I originally thought that her father would be furious and would punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall or putting her in solitary confinement, but I didn't expect him to say this.

"It's not your fault. Who would have thought that the young concubine had such advanced medical skills, and could even match Mr. Hua Tuo's unique skill, the Nine Needles. So even if Dad was here today, he would still fall flat on his face."

"We underestimated this little concubine, so we suffered such a big loss. But I am really surprised that you can become good friends with the sect's eldest daughter Ning Qingqing. You did a great job in this matter. But I am very curious, how did you get in touch with Ning Qingqing?"

Ye Qingwan didn't dare to say anything more. It was better for her father not to get involved in some things.

"It was also a coincidence. The man named Xingmu was Miss Ning's fiancé. She asked me to take good care of him, and we became friends after a few interactions."

The Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then you should get along well with her. Compared to Xingmu, Ning Qingqing is the biological daughter of the sect's Grand Master. It will be more beneficial for us to have a good relationship with her than to please Xingmu."

"It's just that this time you made such a fuss outside the city, the news has spread a long time ago. His Majesty is now busy dealing with those corrupt officials and is too busy to take care of you. But when the corruption case is over, he may cause trouble for you, so you must be mentally prepared."

"Dad, I understand."

The Prime Minister nodded: "That's good, but you don't have to worry too much. Dad will take care of things before His Majesty notices you."

Ye Qingwan:? ?

Come on, my dear dad, I'm not worried at all, so you don't have to help me.

"Dad, how do you want to cook?"

The Prime Minister took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "The simplest and most direct way is to kill that little concubine."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwan took a breath of cold air.

You'd better kill me.

Your method is not only simple and crude, it is simply to finish the filming of the show early and force it to be taken offline.

"Dad, you really don't have to worry about your daughter. I'm grown up, and I can do it on my own." Ye Qingwan knelt down in front of him.

Please, just listen to my advice?

Don't get involved in the protagonist's affairs. Let's live a good life and retire happily, okay?

Seeing her kneeling in front of him, the Prime Minister was silent for a long time, and finally he said, "Since you don't want me to intervene, then I won't interfere. If you can't handle it, remember to come to me, don't be stubborn."

"Thank you, Dad." I can't express my gratitude in words. Let me give you one.

After saying that, she kowtowed to him twice. The prime minister was stunned by her behavior and didn't react until she left.

Is your precious daughter so filial now?

Do you always kneel down and kowtow to your father?
