"The Wen family has been upright since ancient times... Nowadays, Duke Wen has retired, but I feel that the only daughter of the Wen family, Mr. Wen, can still stand up. If Your Majesty imposes a heavy punishment, it will inevitably hurt some
The heart of an old minister!"
Xia Liqing is very good at being a peacemaker, and what he says is reasonable and well-founded.
He cleverly blocked Jiang Yan's unspoken words, and twisted the few words spoken in front of the palace into the frank nature of the Wen family.
It also gave both sides a step up.
"Hmph! That's the case! Mr. Wen will fine you a year's salary! I think you are doing it for the people... but if there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly!"
A word of "no mercy" made many poor people in the court instantly unable to sit still.
Wen Ranran took a deep breath, her face turned pale, and she reluctantly saluted.
The two of them had a heated argument, but Jiang Yan felt happy in her heart.
It had long been heard that Xia Lishuang had always been dissatisfied with Wen Ranran because she was too strong back then, but because she had been with him for so long, she had always tolerated it.
Looking at it now... Although Wen Ranran is still a woman, and now she is so aggressive that she can stand up in court with her strong words, but judging from the quarrel between the two people, it is obvious that he has lost interest in Wen Ranran.
And Xia Lishuang now attaches great importance to the Jiang family. The Jiang family has gone through two generations of emperors and is now the only aristocratic family that is still in its heyday. This is not a happy event.
However, Wen Ranran is a variable after all... Jiang Yan himself is not at ease if she is left here.
This woman has followed her through life and death so many times, and now she is able to come back safely after disappearing from Binguo. There must be something behind this.
Jiang Yan twirled his beard and nodded slightly as he recalled the distinguished guests from the Gu family in Yizhou Wonderland who came to the Jiang Mansion a few days ago.
The morning meeting ended unhappily. Wen Ranran even walked away as soon as the morning meeting ended and Xia Lishuang got up, pretending to be very angry.
Cheng Fenglou couldn't help but looked at his sister-in-law and persuaded her to get into his carriage.
In front of everyone, Wen Ranran still maintains the image of a strong woman who has been heartbroken but still pretends to be strong. At this moment, her performance is extremely realistic.
When I got on the carriage, my face changed instantly.
"This old guy Jiang Yan has become so rampant now?"
Wen Ranran said vaguely while peeling an orange.
It's been a long time since I've seen Wen Ranran change her face in an instant and her acting skills are truly peerless. Cheng Fenglou was not used to it for a while.
"Well...but because the Jiang family has always been the late emperor's confidant and grew up from a medium-sized family, no one has ever suspected him of colluding with foreign races. But now...he has become more high-profile and rampant in his actions. In the past six months...
…It’s not easy for some upright officials in the court! If His Majesty hadn’t sent me to take care of them secretly, I’m afraid many literati would have become disheartened!”
Cheng Fenglou honestly analyzed the situation in the past six months to Wen Ranran.
"Okay, okay, I wanted to talk today, but the quarrel between you two was too fierce. Fortunately, His Highness King Wen is still good at dealing with such quarrels. Otherwise, if you had such a fierce quarrel today, Jiang Yan would
I grasped the handle at once, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes!"
Wen Ranran smiled and said, "That's not true. Even if Fourth Brother doesn't tell me, I will move out of my grandfather, and then I will move out the emperor's decree and make him feel ashamed. At most, he will be fined more money. Otherwise, he will be fined more."
It’s not bad.”
Cheng Fenglou: "..."
"So, what are you going to do during this time?" Cheng Fenglou looked at Wen Ranran.
Wen Ranran shook her head, feeling a little unsure. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked Cheng Fenglou directly:
"By the way, where is the previous city lord who has been guarding Youzhou, Jitong?"
