Chapter 314 Oh Huh
The entire family of the Minister of Personnel huddled together and trembled.
After so many years in the capital, with a large family and a powerful business, both the master and the servants in the mansion would more or less do some acts of bullying men and women.
These were originally an unspoken understanding among all the governments in the capital, and no one would hold on to these matters.
After all, no one has a clean bottom.
But if Lu Xinran brought it up at the annual meeting, it would become more than just a family scandal exposed to the public.
If you make a mistake, you will lose your head.
Last year, it was the Minister of War who was unlucky. Isn't it their turn this year?
The Minister of Personnel looked at Song Junyan pleadingly, wishing he could kneel down and kowtow to the couple.
Song Junyan thought it over again and again, and using the sleeve of his robe to cover himself, he gently pulled Lu Xinran's arm, reminding her to stop when it was enough.
Lu Xinran understood and opened the booklet of the Minister of Personnel and began to read it casually.
[Hey, the Minister of Personnel is very playful. He is old and useless, so he likes to watch the servants and maids perform live sex shows for him in the house.]
"puff!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Among the several old men in high positions of power, the Minister of Personnel looks the most upright and rigid one.
If he had not been in the Ministry of Personnel for many years, many people would think that he should be in the Censorate.
Such a person who is usually serious and never smiles actually has such a hobby, and it has never been discovered by anyone!
The Minister of Personnel blushed. What's wrong with that? Is it okay for him to be old but not old at heart? !
He is so tired from all the intrigue every day, he is just looking for a way to relieve himself, what's wrong with that!
The old wife beside him was about to bury her head in her chest. After today, even if their Cao family could still gain a foothold in Beijing, they would become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
[Compared to his son, Mr. Cao's hobby is still conservative. His eldest son likes messy things the most. ]
[The room where he had been with his male lover was filled with the stench of feces and urine.]
[His male favorites are more favored than his legal wife.]
puff……
Uncontrollable laughter rang out from the crowd again.
The Lingchi social death that belonged to the Cao family had just begun, but the emperor had been expecting not a single word about bullying men and women, bullying the market, accepting bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain.
The emperor glared at the Cao family members in disappointment, then turned back and continued eating melon.
Lu Xinran flipped through the pages casually. Since Song Junyan had reminded her that the Cao family still had some use for it, she naturally could not reveal anything that could be used as evidence against her by the emperor.
She just casually flipped through the booklet of the Cao family, and then threw it to the system to search using keywords to see if the country prince hiding in the dark had contacted the Cao family.
She then turned her target to the next person. She now felt that it was a mistake. She should have discussed with Song Junyan before coming to see which adult was suitable to move to another position and which adult could get the package of confiscation of property and exile.
There was no targeted goal at this time, so she could only choose one at random, and then decide whether to dig deeper or just take a casual look based on the hints Song Junyan gave her from time to time.
Throughout the whole day, everyone in the square was in a state of anxiety.
Lu Xinran took as much as he pleased, and not everyone thought Song Junyan was worth keeping.
Therefore, the emperor finally found his "favorite" candidate to fill the treasury.
When the ceremony was over, everyone was covered in cold sweats and walked out of the palace with weak legs.
Under the emperor's gaze, the empress summoned Zhang Yongping and his wife to Changchun Palace.
The emperor was still wary of the Zhang family, but he had his spies in Changchun Palace, so he was not afraid of not being able to find out what the three of them had said, so he just let them go.
On the way out of the palace, Lu Xinran and Lu Xinlan had a brief opportunity to communicate.
After much hesitation, she finally decided to keep the shocking secret of the emperor's life story hidden from the other party. Many times, not knowing the details can also preserve one's own happiness.
The two sisters had a subtle discussion about Song Junyu's possible fate and the seemingly real threat to Lu Xinlan.
Lu Xinlan finally decided not to hide this matter from Tang Chongli. Tang Chongli already trusted her very much. If she took the initiative to reveal Song Junyu's intentions, it would only make Tang Chongli wary of him.
Lu Xinran gave her a thumbs up. Her sister was really good at controlling people's hearts!
During the New Year, all government affairs were extremely busy, so the two sisters got on their own carriages back home as soon as they left the palace.
There were no other masters in the Prince of Wei's mansion, so when the young couple returned home, Lu Xinran was too lazy to act like a princess anymore. She leaned softly on Song Junyan and let him support her back to the main courtyard.
After a casual dinner, the two fell asleep.
On the second day of the new year, I went back to my parents’ home.
She and Lu Xinlan had agreed that after returning to the Lu Mansion, they would find an opportunity to talk in detail about what had happened during this period.
So she started making preparations to return to the Lu Mansion early in the morning.
Song Junyan was very obedient and did whatever she was told to do. She also asked the housekeeper to prepare some extra New Year gifts for her to take back.
Pei didn't have the chance to talk to them much in the palace the day before, so she got up early this morning and had someone prepare the sisters' favorite food, then waited anxiously for them to return home.
Her behavior made Aunt Xu laugh at her. The young ladies in the mansion were also going back home today, but she was not seen preparing food for her own daughter.
Pei let her tease her, but she was thinking in her heart how could this be the same.
The two granddaughters gave her a different feeling. They were too lively and different from all the women in the capital.
Whenever she looked at them, her heart would open up, and the resentment that had accumulated in her heart for many years would dissipate because of them. She even felt that she could live a few more years.
When Lu Xinran got off the car, he turned his head and saw the Tang family's carriage.
She happily wanted to rush over to help Lu Xinlan get out of the car, but was pulled back by Song Junyan.
When Pei received the news, she hurried to the door. No matter how close they were in private, since Lu Xinran was already married to the princess, she could not lose her manners.
After greeting each other in front of the door, the group walked towards Zhaoyun Courtyard, chatting and laughing.
Lu Jinchuan pretended to sit in Zhaoyun Courtyard for a while, then he coughed lightly and took Song Junyan and Tang Chongli to the front yard.
As soon as Zhao saw Lu Xinlan, she immediately came forward, pulled her aside and asked her questions, fearing that she had been wronged in the Tang Mansion.
After confirming again and again that she was living very well in the Tang Mansion, she glanced at Lu Xinran with a little complacency and said casually.
"Your eldest brother's marriage has been arranged. He is to be married to the second daughter of the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel."
Everyone: "..."
Zhao had not entered the palace the day before, so she had no idea how glorious the Cao family was yesterday.
Speaking of the Cao family's eldest house, Lu Xinran's eyes immediately flashed with the text in the booklet.
SM and the like shouldn't be hereditary, right?
