Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"But, father, you...well, let's let the imperial physician check it out first. There's no need to rush anything." Wang Yucheng was so anxious that he could hardly speak, but he was most worried about his father's health.

"No, no, let's go now." Wang Zhuo rejected his son's proposal, "This matter cannot be delayed, hurry up..."

Wang Yucheng had no choice but to quickly find someone to prepare a carriage, and the two of them hurried to Prince An's Mansion.

At this time in Prince An's Mansion, several people were discussing in the conference room what to do about Manager Niu's matter.

Upon hearing Wang Zhuo's arrival, Li Junze knew that the thing he had arranged for Manager Niu to do could no longer be kept secret, so he did not hide it and told Wang Zhuo everything.

Wang Zhuo sat on the stool and closed his eyes, letting Li Junze send everyone away.

"Zer, grandpa specifically told you to keep your composure. How could you expose our hidden strength like this?"

Wang Zhuo couldn't help the churning in his chest, but he forced himself not to show it and asked in a relatively calm tone.

"Grandfather, you should have heard of Xie Zhuangyuan. He writes beautiful articles and is a top scholar. Ze'er wants to use him, so he just released some news to temporarily eliminate his recent negative impact."

Li Junze didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.

"Xie Zhuangyuan? Xie Cheng'an?" Wang Zhuo's expression became even colder. "He has talent but no moral integrity. Is his talent enough to help his evildoers?"

When Li Junze heard his grandfather say this, he knew that he must have also heard about Xie Cheng'an's shameful behavior, so he had no intention of continuing to talk.

"Ze'er, do you want to use such a person? He is already notorious in the capital, and you are still planning to use him? Is there no one else available in the mansion?" Wang Zhuo questioned. This time, there was a rare hint of anger in his tone.

"Grandfather, you know that after I was confined to my house last time, most of the guests in the mansion left. Now I need more people, so, so..."

"Hey, Ze'er, grandpa has always told you that where you can go in the future depends on how famous you are now. If you don't have the support of the people and officials, it will be difficult for you to achieve your wish. If you really use such people, grandpa can't help you."

Wang Zhuo knew what he was going to say next, so he interrupted him before he finished speaking and sighed with disappointment.

"You should not have left the mansion today, but you should have received the news. Yan Nangui has concluded the investigation of what happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and he went to see the Emperor with a memorial early in the morning."

Li Junze nodded. He listened to the butler's report and was about to pack up to go to the palace when he heard that his grandfather had already entered the palace, so he did not follow him.

He felt at ease with his grandfather around.

"My grandfather pushed Butler Zhuo out in front of the emperor today, and because he did not discipline his subordinates, he asked to resign and retire. The emperor has agreed, and the imperial edict will be delivered to the mansion soon."

"What?" Li Junze looked up in disbelief. Seeing Wang Zhuo's pale face, his heart ached. "Grandfather, how could this happen?"

Wang Zhuo said to him earnestly, "Zer, ever since the incident in Xiangyang City, Grandfather has always had a feeling that there must be a spy among us, but..."

"Before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I had screened everyone around me several times, but I didn't have a clue. At the time, I thought I was worrying too much, but now that I think about it, there are still many strange things."

Li Junze also thought back to what happened in Xiangyang City. Indeed, there was something strange going on everywhere.

"There is no one around my grandfather. Could it be that the spy is in the palace? After the incident in Xiangyang City, Ze'er also screened all the people who knew about it at the time. Except for the few people who were arrested, almost no one else knew about it. This matter is indeed strange."

Wang Zhuo shook his head. "At this moment, no matter where he is, it's too late. When you don't have your grandfather by your side in the future, you must remember to always put safety first."

"As for those people around you, they are useless and should be let go. They won't be of much help if they stay."

Wang Zhuo's words were earnest and sincere, as if he was explaining his final affairs, which made Li Junze feel sad again.

"Then, as for Shopkeeper Niu, shall we just ignore him?" Li Junze was anxiously trying to think of a solution with a few others. They couldn't let Shopkeeper Niu be arrested like this.

Wang Zhuo closed his eyes again and said helplessly,

"What does he have to care about? What does he have to care about? Yu Sicong also hinted at it. Did the news mention the word Yu Mansion? Did it mention any name in his mansion?"

Li Junze shook his head, but still said, "Although not, but with Yu Sicong making such a fuss, our news will be..."

"Zer, grandpa has told you so much, why do you still insist on spreading the news? I will only tell you the last two sentences, just remember them."

"First, Shopkeeper Niu won't betray you, so don't worry about him; second, Xie Cheng'an can't be used, so don't spread the news. If you really want to use him, you can see how it goes after three years."

Wang Zhuo still did not completely deny Li Junze's decision. Things in the capital were changing rapidly. If the incident with Xie Chengan was over in three years, he might consider re-employing him.

But now, it is absolutely not possible.

Li Junze glanced at Wang Zhuo and then said, "Grandfather is right, Ze'er understands."

Wang Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Junze's matter was interrupted by someone, it was obvious that the person behind him reacted very quickly.

Li Junhao is a person who should not be underestimated.

"Zer, no matter what happens in the future, you must communicate with grandpa in time. Grandpa will no longer be the head scholar, but he is still well-informed about many news, especially the news in the palace. Grandpa does not need to be distracted. He will definitely assist you with all his strength."

After listening to this, Li Junze walked over to sit next to Wang Zhuo and said, "Grandfather, do you have any other ideas? We didn't gain anything from these two incidents."

Wang Zhuo took a deep breath, and the surging energy and blood in his chest calmed down a little. The expression on his face also returned to his usual smiling look.

"The emperor is still young and we have plenty of time. Don't be in a hurry. We must be well prepared and hit the target with one blow." Wang Zhuo smiled, but his words made Li Junze feel full of strength.
