After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

Chapter 3: Eating the Emperor's melon, Li Yan's house was confiscated

At this time, the Grand Master stood up and said, "Officials, the Emperor's birthday is coming soon. I suggest that we organize a group of people to show our appreciation for the Emperor's birthday!"

The Grand Tutor is very knowledgeable about the ways of the world!

All the officials agreed that having this system is quite good!

Nan Rongxi didn't pay attention to their conversation, and smiled evilly: [We really should confiscate the house of this bastard Li Yan, he's too much! Except for his wife, no one else in the family is a good person! Do you want me to report him! ]

System: [No need, the Censorate will find out right away! ]

Nan Rongxi: [That's good. Let me gossip a little more. Why would the emperor be afraid of his wife? This situation seems to have rarely occurred in history.]

Emperor Rentong: The system didn’t say I’m afraid of my wife…

Baiguan: This girl, she really speaks...

Nan Rongjie: This... Is there any hope for the Nan Rong family...

Li Zhi: My son is not my son?!

System: [This question is because your queen has accompanied the emperor all the way. When he was still a poor prince, she never left him, so naturally, her feelings are deep! ! ]

Nan Rongxi raised the question again: [Well, so the emperor is still a good man! ]

Hearing this, Nan Rongjie's sweat almost dripped down his neck. Could you please stop bringing up the emperor all the time? It could easily lead to trouble!

System: [Your emperor is not only a good man, but also an emperor who spends all his money on state affairs and is frugal in his daily life! Moreover, he also promotes monogamy, which is unique in feudal society! His achievements have surpassed 8% of the emperors in history. ]

When Emperor Rentong heard the system praising him so much, he was delighted. He believed that the system was bestowed by the gods in heaven, which meant that heaven recognized him.

"Officials, it's almost time for today's court session. Those from the Censorate can stay, and the rest can leave!"

Emperor Rentong said slowly.

Nan Rongxi: [Great, I’m finally off work, I can go home and continue sleeping! ]

Nan Rongjie breathed a sigh of relief and finally left the court. He was really afraid that this girl would cause him some big trouble.

As all the officials left the court one after another, only some officials from the Censorate were left in the court.

Emperor Rentong's face was still gloomy. He angrily said to the officials of the Censorate: "Li Yan is a bastard. You, the Censorate, must investigate him thoroughly and make sure to find out all his crimes within a month! I want to see how much he has embezzled. If his crimes are proven, it would not be too much to confiscate his property and exterminate his entire family!"

Emperor Rentong now realized the role of Nan Rongxi's system, so he issued a secret decree that anyone who made Nan Rongxi realize that his mind was being read would be severely punished!

Night falls.

Emperor Rentong was sorting out the complicated relationships of Li Yan's family alone in his bedroom. He couldn't help but sigh at the twists and turns and bizarreness in it. He decided to share this discovery with the Queen.

"Queen, do you know this person named Li Yan?" asked Emperor Rentong.

The queen was slightly startled, then she remembered Li Yan, who regarded himself as a gentleman in the court, and nodded slightly: "I have heard a little about him. Isn't he the Minister of Works who always talks about benevolence and morality?"

Emperor Rentong sneered, "Huh, you never expected that? This Li Yan is actually a hidden corrupt official. Moreover, I got even more interesting news - he is actually in love with his wife's best friend, and the two of them were still in the middle of a deep conversation when they broke down!"

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately became interested: "Oh? Is this true? The relationships in the Li family are indeed very complicated. But where did you get this news from?"

Emperor Rentong smiled proudly: "Haha, this is exactly the interesting thing I want to share with you tonight. I accidentally discovered this news from Nan Rongxi's heart. It's really interesting that she has such a magical ability!"

The Queen couldn't help laughing, "It's really interesting. This way, it can also add a lot of wealth to the national treasury." However, her laughter revealed a hint of doubt, "I have another question, why did Eunuch Zhao secretly bring so much silver today and say it was sent by the officials?"

Emperor Rentong showed embarrassment on his face, and slowly told the empress everything that had happened today and the relationships between the Li family. The complicated relationships of the Li family alone were enough to keep the two of them busy all night.

Inside the Li Mansion.

Li Zhi's anger erupted like a volcano. He slapped his wife in the face, his voice trembling with anger: "Tell me, have you betrayed me? Xiami is actually the flesh and blood of Uncle Wang next door! The neighbors all said that he doesn't look like me. Now I finally understand!"

The wife fell to the ground after being slapped. She covered her face with her hands, tears seeping from her fingers. She was terrified. How could her husband know the secret that she had kept hidden for so many years just by attending court? She tried to calm herself down and pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Who told you that? How could this be possible!"

Li Zhi no longer believed her lies. A fierce look flashed in his eyes: "You don't have to pretend anymore! The gods in heaven told me! No wonder the more I look at Xiami, the more I think he looks like Uncle Wang next door!"

After saying that, he picked up a vase and smashed it hard to the ground.

The sound of the vase breaking echoed in the empty Li Mansion, crisp and harsh.

At this moment, Mrs. Li Yan heard the sound and hurriedly pushed the door open. Her face was full of worry and nervousness. When she saw Li Zhi, she immediately asked with concern: "Son, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit your wife?"

However, Li Zhi responded coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Your grandson is not your grandson!"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Madam Li Yan's ears.

She was stunned, completely unable to understand what Li Zhi meant.

Her face turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice, "What are you talking about?"

Li Zhi repeated indifferently: "Xiami is Uncle Wang's flesh and blood next door!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mrs. Li Yan's heart hard.

She was so shocked that everything went dark before her eyes. She lost consciousness instantly and collapsed to the ground, fainting.

At this moment, people from the Censorate rushed in. Their actions were swift and decisive: "Don't move! Li Yan is suspected of corruption, and we are going to arrest all of you for questioning!"

There was a sudden chaos in the Li Mansion, and the family members were panicked and at a loss as to what to do.

The people from the Censorate began to search the entire mansion carefully. After a while, they found a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in Li Yan's room, which were all evidence of Li Yan's corruption.

According to statistics, the total amount of money embezzled by Li Yan actually reached tens of millions of taels of silver, which is really shocking!

Sure enough, what the system said was true. After the Li family was confiscated, the treasury of the Great Zhou was enriched a lot, and Emperor Rentong regarded Nan Rongxi as a lucky star.
