"I will help you with your marriage."
Upon hearing the marriage being brought up again, Yue Qianli quickly refused.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I am disabled by the poison and do not want to implicate the daughters of the ministers present. Since Jiang Ling and I are both miserable, we can only take care of each other and make do with this. I don't know how long it will last."
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at the ministers present, and saw that everyone quickly lowered their heads, fearing that the emperor would call out their children.
Yue Qianli smiled and looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my honor to receive one of Your Majesty's conditions!"
Seeing the people in the court, the emperor was also thinking about something.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
After hearing the emperor's words, Jiang Ling and Yue Qianli bowed together to thank the emperor for his grace, then stepped aside and stopped talking.
"Come here! Lord Jiang Jinghui married off a concubine's son, deceiving the royal family and bringing disgrace to the family. He is deceiving the emperor and is extremely audacious.
But the crime is not punishable by death. From now on, the whole family will be exiled to the border!"
As soon as he finished speaking, guards came and took Jiang Jinghui away.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong!"
Seeing the emperor's decisiveness, the ministers all knew that the emperor wanted to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, and no one said a word.
They are all afraid of getting implicated, and besides, having one less competitor is not a bad thing.
Jiang Ling watched everything happen quietly, all of which was in their plan.
He had no sympathy for Jiang Jinghui or anyone in the Marquis' Mansion.
God is watching what they do, it’s time for them to pay back their debts!
In life, there is no such thing as receiving without giving.
What you owe others must be repaid sooner or later!
Retribution is always on the way.
Watching the once invincible Jiang Jinghui being dragged down in front of him, he looked like a pile of shit.
Jiang Ling smiled and felt relieved.
The ministers who had not left yet suddenly saw Jiang Ling's smile and felt a chill on their backs.
After cleaning up the Marquis Jiang’s Mansion, Jiang Ling had to plan for the next two days.
He was not very familiar with the capital, and he had not had time to check who were the good officials and who were the corrupt officials.
The only thing left is to find a partner!
…………
As soon as the two returned to the main courtyard, they saw a short and stout man sitting at the gate of the courtyard, holding his chin with his hands, looking around in the direction of the gate.
When he saw them coming, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and ran over quickly, throwing himself onto Yue Qianli's legs.
"Father, Daddy, where have you been? I didn't even see you when I got out of bed."
After Yue Qianli carried him onto his lap, Jiang Ling pushed them into the yard.
The three of them came and sat down at the stone table, on which tea and snacks were already placed.
“Eat quickly!”
Jiang Ling took a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to the kid, then picked up another piece and handed it to Yue Qianli, and finally picked up a piece and started eating it.
As he ate, he exclaimed, "Mmm, it smells so good!"
The little boy looked at the cake in his hand with sparkling eyes, took a bite, and the corners of his mouth were covered with osmanthus cake crumbs. He squinted his eyes with happiness.
"It's delicious! Everything tastes good when I eat with my father."
"Oh, this little mouth is smeared with honey, it's so talkative, Daddy loves to listen."
Jiang Ling was so happy looking at the well-behaved little boy that the cakes became even sweeter.
Yue Qianli glanced at them without saying a word. He took the pastry elegantly, took a bite, and savored it carefully.
Jiang Ling stopped talking and started eating with big mouthfuls.
He was indeed very hungry. He would rather die than be an official attending court so early in the morning.
Yue Qianli looked at him wolfing down his food and couldn't help laughing: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."
Jiang Ling, with food in his mouth, replied vaguely, "I know...but I'm really hungry."
"You officials are so pitiful that you can't sleep in." Jiang Ling muttered and continued to eat pastries, but at a slower pace.
The morning sunlight shines through the gaps in the big trees above, creating mottled light and shadows.
The gentle breeze brings coolness, making people feel extremely comfortable.
The sunlight shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, as if adding a touch of warmth to the moment.
After eating and drinking, I saw that it was still early and didn’t know what to do.
So, I picked up the kid and went back to bed, planning to take a nap.
The little boy was so well-behaved. He was held in Jiang Ling's arms. He opened his big round eyes and blinked at Yue Qianli, sleeping motionlessly with his father.
Yue Qianli shook his head as he watched, he was really impressed by them.
After waking up, Jiang Ling felt full of energy and enthusiasm.
Walking back and forth in the yard with the little one.
Yue Qianli felt a headache after seeing this and couldn't help but ask him.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"It's so boring, let's find something to do?" Jiang Ling said nonsense seriously.
I just took a look around and found that the father and son, including himself, did not have many clothes. The journey to exile in the north would basically take a year, crossing the four seasons, and the further north you go, the colder it gets.
Suddenly I thought of something, so I sat next to Yue Qianli and whispered something in his ear.
Then, he went into the house and picked up a piece of clothing that belonged to Yue Qianli. He didn't know the size, so he could only buy the one that looked like it.
He walked out holding the kid.
"Let's go, son, buy some new clothes!"
"Okay, let's buy new clothes! Dad, just stay home and be good."
The little boy was so happy that he didn't forget to say hello to his old father who stayed at home. He is so well-behaved.
Yue Qianli was still wondering why Jiang Ling asked him to list the names of corrupt officials in the capital and help him draw a map.
