After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

Chapter 20: The Honest Official's Family Affairs

System: [In fact, this Jia Lei is also a pitiful man! He is upright, fair and selfless, and is deeply loved by the people. However, due to his busy work, he has little time to accompany his family and neglects the education of his children, which led the children to go on the wrong path.]

Emperor Rentong: I want to retire from court, is there any more melons?

Baiguan: There are so many stories! The small stool has been moved!

Jia Lei: …

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, please continue. I also want to know what the story is between this father and son! ]

System: [Jia Lei's son is called Jia Ming. He is smart and has always taken Jia Lei as his role model. However, since he lacked his father's company since he was a child, he has always longed for his father's recognition.]

[As Jia Ming grew up, he gradually realized how difficult it was for Jia Lei. Usually, his family had simple meals and Jia Lei was reluctant to change his clothes after wearing them for 10 years. So, Jia Ming also wanted his family to live a better life, so he learned how to do business! ]

Emperor Rentong and the officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Jia Ming sounded like a filial and sensible child, so how did he become a bad boy?

Nan Rongxi frowned and thought: [His original intention was good, he wanted to make his family live a better life. But, isn't this farm he runs profitable? ]

System: [Jia Ming started out as a legitimate business owner, and his farm is doing well! The profits are decent! The poultry he raises are of relatively high quality, and he is also somewhat famous!]

Nan Rongxi scratched his head: [Why did he want to make toxic oil? Isn't it better to do business properly? ]

System: [Because fate plays a trick on him, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and will not live long. In order to leave more money for his family in a limited time and let them live a better life in the future, Jia Ming began to look for ways to make money quickly. In the process, he thought of using oil to make a fuss. ]

Emperor Rentong: ...

Baiguan: It's such a tragic story...

Jia Lei: What?! What?!

Nan Rongxi: [There is such a sad story behind this! It's not easy for Jia Ming either! ]

System: [Yes, Jia Lei is busy with official duties every day and has not noticed Jia Ming's recent changes. When Jia Ming buys him clothes, he complains about Jia Ming's waste of money after receiving them. When Jia Ming buys him food, he is busy with work and just eats a few bites without asking any questions!]

Nan Rongxi felt a little sad after hearing this: [It's not easy for Jia Ming to meet such a father! What a sad story! However, my father seems to be similar, and he is not very nice to me either! ]

When the officials heard this, they looked at Nan Rongjie.

Nan Rongjie: I...

System: [Also, Jia Ming's illness also causes severe bone pain. He endured the pain and worked day and night, fearing that he would not have enough time to make more money! He even wrote a suicide note! Moreover, he did not spend a penny of the money he earned, and planned to leave it all to Jia Lei for his retirement! ]

Nan Rongxi's eyes moistened: [The most confusing thing in the world is probably the relationship between parents and children. No one knows who owed whom in the previous life! ]

Emperor Rentong: What this girl said makes sense.

Officials: This sounds really sad!

When Jia Lei heard this, tears were about to come out. He fell into deep self-blame. It was because he had always ignored Jia Ming that led to today's result. It was useless to say anything now. There was not much time left for them. This feeling of powerlessness was a normal part of life.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, wow wow wow, I want to tell Jia Lei the whole story of this matter, Jia Ming is too miserable! ]

System: [You don't have to say anything, I will find a way to convey it! ]

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, you are so amazing. I didn’t expect you to have so many functions! ]

At this time, the atmosphere in the court also changed.

The law cannot be violated, but for a dying person, the laws of the Great Zhou can be delayed before execution. As for Jia Lei, he should also be given some time to deal with this family affair.

"My dear ministers, it is common for law to conflict with emotion. Law should be put first. Today's court session ends here. If there is nothing else, we will adjourn! We have discussed for such a long time today, it is almost time for dinner!"

After Emperor Rentong finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Yi, who quickly understood what Emperor Rentong meant.

After hearing this, all the officials slowly retreated.

When Nan Rongxi heard the word "eating", he immediately became excited and hurried out, quickly jumped on the carriage to go home, and chatted as he was riding: "Dad, do you think this emperor is also a foodie? He said he was going to eat when he was done with court!"

Nan Rongjie looked helpless: "Can you please stop talking about the emperor in the future? If you keep going like this, the grass on my grave will be taller next year!"

Nan Rongxi blinked and said, "It's okay. I'll burn a big house for you and a few maids to serve you well. I'll also burn more money for you. I guarantee that even the King of Hell will envy you!"

Hearing this, Nan Rongjie's veins popped up and he had the urge to take off his shoes!

System: [Xizi, aren’t you afraid of being beaten up by your father for saying that? ]

Nan Rongxi: [It’s okay. Generally, parents won’t be so cruel to their children as long as they are their biological children! Unless I’m the child of Uncle Wang next door!]

Nan Rongjie: I’m so angry, I’m so angry, hold it in, hold it in, don’t fight, don’t fight…

Nan Rongxi smiled mischievously and said, "Hey, Dad, don't be angry, I was just joking. What did we cook for lunch today? Today is my eldest brother's birthday, so you must have prepared a lot of delicious food. I'm hungry!"

Nan Rongjie glanced at Nan Rongxi and said, "Eat! Eat! Eat! All you do every day is eat!"

As they were talking, the carriage slowly stopped at the door. Sang Biao had been waiting for a long time, wagging his tail, his eyes full of anticipation and joy.

As soon as Nan Rongxi saw Sang Biao, a bright smile suddenly broke out on her face. She couldn't wait to jump out of the car and ran towards Sang Biao happily, shouting as she ran: "Sang Biao, we are back!"

Sang Biao was also extremely excited when he saw Nan Rongxi. He rushed forward, rubbed his head against Nan Rongxi's legs, and wagged his tail even more happily.

Nan Rongxi squatted down, stroked Sang Biao's head, and smiled from ear to ear.

Nan Rongjie looked at her and shook his head, then followed her into the house.

Today is Nan Rongyao’s birthday, and Nan Rong’s mansion has prepared a big dinner for him!
