The third wife's face froze. If she wasn't for the third master, then she was for Su Hongshan?
The third wife glanced at Mrs. Xu and said to the old princess, "How is this possible? Mr. Su has never been an official in the court. The title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice is from the third rank. Many officials will not be able to sit in this position in their lifetime. How could it be possible in the beginning?
Did you just start as a waiter?"
"Even if the emperor agrees, the officials will not agree."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It is indeed quite difficult. My husband has no ambitions. As long as he can join the Ministry of Punishment, he will be fine. There is no need to be a minister."
Princess Xin said, "The Minister of Servants is already the smallest official position in the Ministry of Justice that can handle responsibilities. You can't work hard just to be an errand boy."
Prince Xin thought for a moment and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Let me mention it to King Jingnan. If he is willing to help, there is a 70% chance of doing this."
A flash of surprise flashed through Xie Boting's eyes. Prince Xin didn't care about power, and neither did his father-in-law. But for the position of Minister of Punishment, Prince Xin actually deigned to ask his father for help. This was because he was determined to get it.
His intuition told him that Su Hongshan must have some agenda when he entered the Criminal Department.
The Criminal Department is the place where crimes are investigated, and they investigate major and serious cases. The most important thing in it is the file, which is something that even Prince Xin may not be able to get.
Xie Boting didn't say anything like helping the prince. Regarding matters in the officialdom, his son was not as dignified as the old prince. Moreover, it would not sound good if the son-in-law sought an official position for his father-in-law.
The third wife was sitting there with an ugly face. The third master had not been to court for a long time due to illness, and his official position was not very high. Su Hongshan had only been in Kyoto for a few days, and he dared to think of the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
, with such great ambition, how could he let go of the title of Prince Xin.
There has been no news from Yi'er so far. She is not young anymore and has no chance of rebirth. She would not be happy if Su Hongshan got a title from the Prince's Palace, and she would not be happy if he got a bastard.
It's just that no one took the third wife's unhappiness seriously. At this time, a maid ran in from outside and said, "Oh no, Master Su frightened his horse in the street."
Old Prince Xin asked in his mind, "Is Ji'er okay?"
The maid said, "The eldest young master fell and was injured."
Xu frowned, "It's just a frightening horse, how could it be injured?"
Su Ji is her son, and she knows better than anyone else how high Su Ji's martial arts is. How could she possibly hurt him if he was just startling?
The maid hurriedly replied, "The eldest young master frightened his horse and bumped into the carriage in which Princess Qingyang was sitting. Princess Qingyang fell out of the carriage. The eldest young master threw herself on the ground and gave her a backrest..."
While she was talking, Su Ji was helped back by the boy. She looked a little miserable, her nose was blocked by two small strips of cloth, and some blood could be seen. When she came in, she was rubbing her chest and grinning in pain.
Mrs. Xu looked at her forehead and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
"It must be an internal injury," Su Ji couldn't bear the pain, her nose was blocked, and her words were unintelligible.
Princess Xin immediately sent for a doctor.
Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her son and couldn't help but angrily said to him, "When you save people, just save them properly. How can you be someone's backer?"
He had the skill to lie down and be someone's back, and several Qingyang princesses were saved.
Su Ji sat down carefully, "I learned from my brother-in-law to avoid suspicion." This chapter has been completed!
