My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Meng Da looked at Emperor Jingming with anticipation and trepidation, hoping that he would not let him bear a huge debt because of Ye Shengxin's words.

But he didn't know that Emperor Jingming had a dream of becoming the greatest emperor of all time.

He would not miss anything that could contribute to his dream.

Suddenly his expression became more dignified.

"Since there is a written contract as proof, Meng Da, you should pay back 100,000 taels first. You can pay back the remaining 200,000 taels slowly."

Meng Da accepted the order with a dead heart: "Your humble servant... obeys your order!"

Li Zhen and Li Qiuzhi said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Ye Shengxin looked at the thin father and daughter in the hall, feeling happy but also worried for them.

[This father and daughter have no backing, and they have so much money in their hands, and the court officials know about it...]

[They won't deal with the wolf and then the tiger. ]

Ministers: "..."

How could they be so shameless?

Although... although I am a little tempted, I won't take the risk to do this.

"Your Majesty, I used to be a merchant of medicinal herbs. I traveled all over the country and passed by the military camp."

"Knowing the hardships of the soldiers, and now that Your Majesty has done justice, I am willing to donate 250,000 taels of silver from the compensation to the court."

"I will only leave 50,000 to supplement the household expenses and take care of my daughter. I hope Your Majesty will grant me this."

This Li Zhen is a smart guy.

This is what everyone thinks.

Emperor Jingming would naturally not refuse anything that could add luster to the soldiers, and he certainly would not take Li Zhen's things for nothing.

He first asked the imperial physician to examine Li Qiuzhi later, and he knew that he was well versed in medicine.

He was rewarded with a medical clinic and named: Renxin Hall.

The intention is to hope that his kindness as a doctor can allow him to use his medical skills to pass on his knowledge to the common people.

"I thank your majesty for your grace."

Meng Da became even more desperate: ...In this way, he can't deny his debt at all.

The debt collection incident ended and the rain outside gradually stopped.

As soon as the morning came, Ye Shengxin ran towards the Ye Mansion.

Dongshi went to her room this morning but didn't see her, and no one knew what would happen in the mansion.

Thinking of her unpredictable stepmother and her father who disliked her, Ye Shengxin felt a little headache.

【Hope things won’t be too bad. 】

Ye Shengxin walked all the way back to his mansion.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed the sympathetic looks the maids and servants gave her.

I had a premonition.

At this time, Dongshi came up with a slap on his face.

"Master, the master asked you to come back and meet him in the main courtyard."

Seeing the slap mark on Dong Shi’s face, Ye Shengxin’s eyes darkened.

He asked like a child: "Who hit you?"

Dong Shi lowered his head, not wanting Ye Shengxin to have a conflict with the master of the mansion because of him.

He just said: "Master, I really didn't do my job well, and I deserve to be beaten."

After saying that, he added, "The news of your disappearance was kept secret, and the old lady didn't know about it. You should have almost reached Fo'an Temple by now."

So when the master is questioned later, no one will speak up for her.

Ye Xingxin was silent.

"I understand. Go get some medicine from Madam Sanchun and take the silver from the box next to my bed."

"I will accompany you there."

Ye Shengxin did not respond. With the idea of ​​dying early and being reborn early, he went directly to the main courtyard.

Chaoyangyuan.

Ye Wanqiu was dining at the table with Ye Zhengyao, whose complexion was gradually improving.

At this time, Ye Shengxin walked in wearing half-wet casual clothes.

When Ye Zhengyao saw this, he threw a teacup at him.

"Where did you go last night? Didn't you go to court today?"

Ye Xingxin dodged sideways.

The voice was calm: "My son did not delay his attendance at court. As for where he went, it was the Emperor who was looking for him."

"Looking for you in the middle of the night? And no one has informed you?" Ye Zhengyao slammed the table.

Because of the pain all night, he was angry when he saw Ye Shengxin looking a little embarrassed.

All poured over her.

"I think you're just taking advantage of your father's illness and being unable to take care of you for the time being, and using the emperor as an excuse to go out and fool around!"

Ye Xingxin curled his lips: "Dad, if you ask someone to check the matter of the court, you will know it. How can I deceive you?"

"Besides, how dare I use the emperor as an excuse? Dad, you are sick, not confused."

As soon as he finished speaking, another teacup flew over from Ye Zhengyao's hand.

Ye Shengxin blocked it with his arm, and pretended to accidentally hit the teacup with his palm, causing it to fly back.

Hit Ye Zhengyao right on the forehead!

The remaining scalding tea slid down Ye Zhengyao's forehead, causing him to scream in pain!

"master!"

Ye Wanqiu stood up and hurriedly wiped him with a handkerchief.

Ye Zhengyao covered his face with a handkerchief and stared at Ye Shengxin with his cold eyes.

"Talk back to elders, fight back against elders, Ye Xingxin,

If you still recognize me as your father, I will kneel outside the courtyard and reflect on my mistakes."

Ye Shengxin didn't move.

She did nothing wrong, so she won't kneel!

He even said, "Dad, if you are not feeling well, just take a rest. Can you please stop making trouble all the time?"

Unreasonable?

always?

Ye Zhengyao was deeply shocked by these words. He was so angry and ill that he rolled his eyes.

I was so angry that I fainted.

"master."

Ye Wanqiu hurriedly put him on the bed with the maid.

"Go and call Madam Sanchun quickly." She ordered hurriedly.

Then she looked at Ye Xingxin standing still, as if it was none of her business, and said coldly:

"Since you don't admit what happened before, and now you've made your father faint, kneel outside the yard and reflect on your actions."

"Mother, my father fainted because he is not in good health. If you don't believe me, you can ask Madam Sanchun."

Ye Wanqiu's face turned dark, he said nothing, and just stared at her coldly.

A pair of eyes are like an abyss that can swallow everything at any time.

This look was too scary. Ye Xingxin admitted that he was frightened. He swallowed and said:

"I'll go outside now."

As for kneeling, that is absolutely impossible!

But before she left, she said:

"Mother, Dongshi is a servant of a fifth-rank official, and he receives money from me, so he is definitely not a servant of the Marquis' Mansion."

"When mother is in charge of the household and punishes someone, she should at least consider his status. I am under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin."

Ye Wanqiu was stunned.

Is this a warning to her?

Just as he was about to take a closer look at this little brat with fangs bared.

Ye Xingxin left the room.

After going out, he met Ye Shengqing who had heard the news and rushed over in a hurry.

The two looked at each other.

Ye Shengxin couldn't resist his creepy eyes and was the first to look away.

Ye Shengqing stood beside Ye Shengxin, his expression unclear, and reminded him in a light voice:

"You are from the Ye family, you are my father's son, and the blood relationship cannot be severed."

"No matter what your status is, you should be more cautious in what you say and do in the Ye Mansion."

"This is good for everyone."

Ye Shengxin didn't say anything.

She didn't know whether Ye Shengqing's words were a casual reminder or a hidden warning.

Ye Shengqing didn't expect her to answer and went straight into the house.

Ye Shengxin did listen to some of it and did not just leave without caring about the consequences, thus giving others an opportunity to use their power against him.

Instead, he leaned against the wall outside the yard, basking in the sun while chatting and joking with the system.

Not long after, Eunuch Lin came to the Ye Mansion.

Emperor Jingming was worried that she would be scolded by her family if she did not return home in the middle of the night, so he specially asked the senior eunuch around him to support her.

At this time, Eunuch Lin brought up the topic in front of Madam Ye and said:

"Your Majesty, please invite Lord Ye to the palace. Lord Ye, go back and change into some proper clothes and follow me."

These words liberated Ye Xingxin, and she happily went back to the yard to change her clothes.

Ye Wanqiu, who was accompanying him nearby, saw Eunuch Lin's attitude towards Ye Shengxin and his eyes flashed.

He specially sent some silver wrapped in a purse to Eunuch Lin, who accepted it.

Then he smiled and asked, "I wonder what your majesty wants to see you about?"

She knew that someone took Ye Shengxin away last night, but she didn't expect it was the emperor's men.

Now Ye Shengxin was being scolded, and someone came over not long after. Ye Wanqiu fixed his eyes.

Does the emperor value Ye Shengxin so much?

Why should she?

Eunuch Lin replied politely: "Madam, as a servant, I don't know about this.

But Lord Ye must be capable to be summoned by the Emperor."

"If you have this ability, you will naturally be able to catch the eyes of the Holy Spirit and win His Majesty's heart. It is not uncommon for you to enter the palace many times."

Eunuch Lin hinted at her and Ye Zhengyao in a subtle way, and there was something Ye Wanqiu couldn't understand.

She pretended to be humble and smiled: "What the father-in-law said is true."

Although it is unclear why Ye Shengxin is so valued, there must be someone from the emperor's family in the Ye Mansion.

Then she wanted to tighten Ye Shengxin's skin in the future and make her work for the Ye family and for her.

I'm afraid we have to be more secretive and careful.

-

"Aren't you going to the palace?"

After leaving the Ye Mansion, Ye Shengxin filled his stomach with some snacks. He couldn't help but frowned when he heard Eunuch Lin's explanation.

"Then where are we going now?"

Eunuch Lin smiled and said, "Master Ye, do you still remember that you have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to be on duty today?"

Ye Xingxin was embarrassed: "Of course I remember this."

Eunuch Lin nodded: "The emperor said that Lord Ye was absent from work for half a day today, and he will be fined one day's salary."

"And a fine?"

Eunuch Lin: "Master Ye, do you think it's too little?"

"Not less, not less at all." Ye Shengxin waved his hand quickly.

At this time, the carriage arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, and Ye Shengxin jumped down.

"Sir, take care. I'm on duty now."

Ye Shengxin rushed into the government office as if fleeing.

As soon as she entered, she saw a group of people she was not very familiar with waiting in the lobby.

The two parties unexpectedly met each other's gazes. Ye Xingxin: "..."

Ye Shengxin coughed, and in everyone's eyes, he instantly turned into the serious look of an official.

Then he asked in a businesslike manner: "Is this lady here to report to the authorities?"

"Lord Ye, this is the younger sister of the current emperor, Princess Fukang of our dynasty."

The old nanny stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce the identity of her master.

Ye Shengxin quickly saluted.

The nanny added, "The princess came here to report to the authorities."
