Guagua, they are quite wealthy! No wonder they're fighting about it!
Yes, the entire Xu family is in chaos right now! Everyone knows the Xu family has a huge amount of hidden wealth, and everyone has their own version of events, all wanting to seize the family fortune for themselves!
All the officials: We can understand, we can understand.
Host, Xu Shunshun will soon be released and return to Jiangsu!
From what I know, Su Huaili is probably going to go with his wife Xu Shunshun, too! Oh dear, does that mean Xu Shunshun will finally get to see her beloved Yuechan, the musician?
Host, they are fighting over the inheritance right now. There's no time for romance!
I know Guagua; I'm just thinking about it.
Prince An: Uh... I really want to go to Jiangsu to see a dramatic inheritance dispute!
He glanced at Shen Mingzhu across from him and thought, "Forget it, it's better to stay in the capital and attend court every day."
He can still distinguish between listening to gossip every day and listening to just one piece of gossip, which is more important!
Emperor Jingyuan sat at the head of the table, a line flashing across his brow. Xu Haoping, the Salt Commissioner of Jiangnan, he hadn't received the report he was waiting for, but unexpectedly…
Lord Xu died in the office!
What a mess this is!
Host, the Xu family has caused quite a stir this time. Local officials dare not interfere, and they might even come to the capital to seek Emperor Jingyuan's judgment!
Aaaaaah!!! Host, Miss Xu just kicked her current stepmother and younger brother out of the house, and now the two of them are in front of the Xu mansion gate looking for someone to break down the door!!!
Emperor Jingyuan: ...she really know how to cause trouble!
Guagua, is Xu Jiaojiao really that fierce?
Host, what do you think! All these years of lying low, wasn't she been waiting for this moment?
Guagua, Master Xu's body is barely cold!
Host, Miss Xu Jiaojiao is arranging her father's funeral in an orderly manner without making any mistakes!
I never knew Miss Xu was such a ruthless person!
Host, if she wasn't ruthless, she would have been killed long ago! At such a young age, she was constantly forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, starved, and her meals were often poisoned. The worst time was when she went out to offer incense and was almost strangled to death in a side room in the temple's backyard… There are countless examples like this!!!]
The entire court of officials gasped in shock.
The wives of the civil and military officials remained calm and composed. In large families, raising children is like raising poisonous insects. Among children with the same right to inherit, the most promising one will definitely be chosen to inherit the family business!
Of course, under the system of the Great Yan Dynasty, everyone had already tacitly agreed that the eldest son and grandson would inherit the family business.
If you don't believe me, just look at the history of different dynasties.
Minister of Rites Su Qingshan listened to Shen Mingzhu's thoughts and silently pondered in his heart, feeling extremely anxious.
Looking at the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan and his concubine Shen Jiaojiao, the two were talking in perfect harmony, seemingly oblivious to Shen Mingzhu's true feelings.
What happened?
His Highness, the Second Prince, could clearly hear it before!
What went wrong?
This discovery shocked him deeply!
Could it be...?
He dared not even think about it!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen glanced at Shen Mingzhu beside him. Just then, a dish of autumn crabs was served, and he took it and silently began to peel them.
General Xie Yuze was utterly shocked.
He never expected Shen Mingzhu to possess such extraordinary abilities.
Then he thought of Lord Yuhui, who suddenly went to the north, and the heated kang bed, the fire wall, and so on...
There was also the food, cloth, medicine, and some other things that Lord Yuhui had brought them before.
He was quite surprised at the time; when did the imperial court become so generous?!
I see! ! !
Xie Hao stared blankly, mouth agape like a fool. What had he heard? The eldest daughter of the Xu family, the Salt Commissioner of Jiangnan, had driven her stepmother and younger brother out of the house.
My goodness, this girl is amazing!
If she had been born into the Xie family, he would say she was a true tiger daughter of a military family!
His maternal grandmother came from the Wu family of Jiangnan. If he remembered correctly, the old lady of the Xu family, who was also Lord Xu's mother, was still alive.
That's really brave!
It takes a skill to kick someone out!
Will the Xu clan spare her?
This is not something an ordinary person can solve!
Guagua, how is it now?
Host, the Xu clan will arrive on the battlefield in three seconds. A great battle is about to begin!
All the officials: Shall we say it?
There are also members of the clan!
The ladies clutched their handkerchiefs tightly, listening intently to Shen Mingzhu's innermost thoughts.
They felt sorry for the children of the first wife and hoped that she could stand up for women, but they always felt that the hope was slim.
After all, the status of women in this dynasty was what it was.
This wasn't when the Great Yan Dynasty had just been founded...
Sigh...Guagua, the first shot in the battle to protect women has been fired! I should take some time to read the "Great Yan Code."
All the wives and daughters of the civil and military officials: After we return, we will go to Mingzhu Bookstore and buy a copy of "The Laws of the Great Yan Dynasty" to study carefully.
Host, that's indeed the case.
Guagua, this year imperial examinations actually present a very good topic!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen suddenly looked up at Shen Mingzhu. Yes, Mingzhu is really smart.
He wanted to keep up with current events and see how students across the country viewed the matter.
The husband is to support, and the wife is to harmonize!
This is a question worth exploring in depth.
Minister of Personnel Gu Ci frowned; now it was a case of each side having its own version of the truth.
The key issue is that Lord Xu left so suddenly, without leaving a single word.
Seeing the Crown Prince's excited expression, he knew he wanted to hear what Lord Shen was thinking. This year's imperial examination included this topic.
He sighed softly and glanced around. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to the Crown Prince.
The welcoming banquet hosted by Emperor Jingyuan was not of any interest to anyone, and it ended hastily in the end.
Emperor Jingyuan: General Xie, it's all because Minister Shen's heartfelt words are too captivating.
Xie Yuze: Your Majesty, this is good enough.
He was a military general and didn't care about these things. He only asked that His Majesty provide enough grain for the northern regions during the winter.
Shen Mingzhu felt that the wives and young ladies of the court officials were looking at her strangely, as if they wanted to talk to her but then walked away.
She was puzzled, but she wasn't one to dwell on things, so she didn't take it to heart in the end.
Thinking back to the plate of crab meat that Crown Prince Yan Beichen had peeled for her, she guessed that all the young ladies in Shengjing must be envious and jealous
Hehe~~~
Sisters, aren't you envious?!
As long as she's happy.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, the Crown Prince couldn't help but ask.
"Is Mingzhu in a good mood tonight?"
"Yes, my eldest uncle is back in Beijing, and my cousin Hao is getting married too!"
She looked around, saw no one else, and whispered quietly.
"I have great news for you, Your Highness! My cousin Hao is already a father of two!"
After saying that, she even winked mischievously.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen understood immediately.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
"Haha, yes, congratulations! This is great news!"
