Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

The streets and alleys of Wangjing were instantly covered with denunciation notices again. This time, there were two people involved. Not only the person involved, Wei Xian, but also Yu Jingxuan, the Minister of Rites, was not spared.

Even when these two censure manifestos were put together, the condemnation of Yu Jingxuan was stronger than that of Wei Xian, as if Yu Jingxuan was the sinner who had committed such a heinous crime.

Especially the last three questions, each one was more sharp than the last, making it impossible to cope with them.

He is a first-rank official, old enough to have his grandchildren. He is a highly respected person, has countless students, and is one of the top civil servants. But now he has been exposed by this manifesto, and it is said that he relied on his father-in-law to get to the top and coaxed his wife to get his wealth.

Yu Jingxuan was completely portrayed as a useless person who lived off his wife, and all his achievements were completely erased, leaving only the fact that his wife was a lady from a wealthy and noble family.

When these two manifestos spread throughout Wangjing, they instantly aroused everyone's curiosity.

Most people had a good impression of the Jiang family before. After all, the Marquis of Loyalty had been a military family for generations and had saved countless people. Now that they were exposed for breaking into the Wei Mansion and arresting members of the Wei family, the public outrage they caused was actually not that great.

After all, the Wei family is also a family of officials. It is impossible for the Loyalty and Righteousness Marquisate to take action against ordinary people, and it cannot arouse resonance.

Now that these two manifestos were issued, they first explained why the Marquis of Loyalty targeted the Wei family. After scolding the Wei family, everyone's attention was focused on Yu Jingxuan's gigolo status.

Although those murders and arson are horrifying, sex scandals are more attractive.

"Ah, so even high-ranking officials like this have to eat gigolos to climb up to the top!"

"Oh, this Minister of Rites is quite good-looking. I saw him the last time he came to the bookstore. Although he is old, his temperament is no less than that of a young scholar. He is obviously a scholar at first glance."

"Then he must be good-looking. If he were ugly, even the noble ladies wouldn't look down on him."

"Alas, we peasants who depend on our wives for food are laughed at by others, but this high-ranking official has risen to fame overnight."

"Old man, do you have any good-looking young men in your family? Hurry up and take the imperial examination. Maybe he can be noticed by a lady from a rich family with his good looks, and your whole family will be prosperous from then on!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around burst into laughter, and some even said, "Wait, I'm going home to give birth to a beautiful boy with my wife!"

"Soft rice is really delicious, even a high-ranking official can't resist it!"

Originally, the exchange of two children between the Jiang Marquis Mansion and the Wei Family was the hottest topic in Wangjing. However, in order to drag the Jiang Marquis Mansion into the water, the civil officials directly issued a punitive manifesto in an attempt to confuse right and wrong.

Now that the news of Yu Jingxuan being a gigolo has come out, everyone's attention has been diverted instantly. It's completely a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

In the marquis's mansion, Marquis Zhongyi and his wife Cen Ying sat opposite each other, with two eloquent servants standing below them, talking to each other about the excitement in the street.

People gather together on the street to tell jokes, all kinds of people, and many of the words are extremely vulgar, but the logic behind them is sound, and they are even very funny to hear.

The two servants imitated the trick so vividly that the Marquis of Loyalty laughed so hard that he kept slapping the table, and even the teacups were buzzing.

"My Lord." Cen Ying couldn't help but remind him.

He looks so crazy and like a mean person, and he doesn't seem very smart.

The Marquis of Loyalty waved his hand and drove the servants away, saying with great interest: "Madam, you don't know that old man Yu Jingxuan has been staring at me all day, trying to find fault with me. This time, even though he knew that the Wei family was in the wrong, he still ignored justice and attacked me in order to eliminate dissidents."

"I will never indulge him. Not only will the Wei family scold him, but he won't be able to escape it either! I still remember that when he and I were the top scorers in the same year, those young ladies and wives stared at him with their eyes wide open, saying that he was the most handsome top scorer in recent years."

"Oh, he was praised so highly back then, but now he has become a handle for ridicule. From now on, when people mention Lord Yu, they will no longer remember how knowledgeable he is. They will only remember that he is a coward who lives on his looks, hahahaha..."

When Marquis Zhongyi mentioned the old days, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

In fact, he was too embarrassed to say it all in front of Cen Ying.

At the beginning, some people with ulterior motives suggested that the top scholar in both civil and military affairs be rewarded and paraded through the streets together. He was brave and strong, while Yu Jingxuan was gentle and kind. The civil and the martial should have complemented each other, but most of the girls liked Yu Jingxuan and regarded him as a stepping stone to set off Yu Jingxuan.

Later, he learned from the system that his wife was actually in love with Yu Jingxuan. The new hatred and old grudge made him furious.

And today he finally found the opportunity to retaliate, and he gave that pretty boy a severe beating, which made everyone feel very happy.

When Cen Ying saw his look, she understood what he was thinking and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"After taking revenge, do you feel relieved?" she asked softly.

"You're only half satisfied. You still have to get the other half from him!" Marquis Zhongyi restrained his smile and said solemnly.

"As he should. The exchange of sons between the two governments had nothing to do with him. Yet, he teamed up with many civil officials to attack you. He should bear the consequences of retaliation."

When the Marquis of Loyalty heard that his wife supported him so much, he couldn't help but smile: "Madam is right, how are you going to deal with Xing Xiaoya's matter?"

"Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing will take the bait. The artifact said before that Xing Xiaoya would contact the Jiang family, but Chengli is now restraining her and not letting her meet us. This is obviously inconsistent with what the artifact said, and there will definitely be changes. I will take them out for tea these few days. If we are destined, we will definitely meet."

***

Early in the morning, a carriage set out from Yu Mansion. When passing the market, the voices of vendors on both sides kept coming.

They were all mocking the Minister of Rites, a first-rank official. He was a gigolo who seduced the daughter of a wealthy family, and then used his looks to win over his wife, who returned to her parents' home and begged for a promotion.

"Hey, do you think that an official of this rank who tries to please his wife is any different from a peasant?"

"Of course there is. Farmers don't live off their wives. That gentleman got promoted by relying on his wife, so when he gets home, he should at least bring a basin of water for washing his feet!"

"You still have to comb your hair and draw your eyebrows, and let it be."

"You're wrong, you're wrong. He's not a son-in-law, and he has servants to do everything for him. Why does he need to do it himself? But he relied on a woman to get to the top, so his life must be hard. If he goes to his father-in-law's house, no one will look down on him!"

The vendors on both sides were laughing and talking, and there were also a lot of obscene words that were not suitable to be heard.

Yu Jingxuan, who was sitting in the carriage, had a face as dark as water. These words were simply unbearable to hear.

He always boasted about his good qi-cultivation skills, but after hearing all these words, he couldn't help it after all. He simply raised his hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard on the wall of the car.

When the coachman outside heard the muffled "bang" sound, his nerves tensed up and he immediately swung the whip towards the side to intimidate.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the road!"

As expected, the common people who were originally immersed in mocking the first-rank official no longer cared about laughing and moved aside one after another.

Yu Jingxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his ears were finally quiet. He was still thinking that the driver was very discerning and would reward him generously later.

Seeing that the master didn't say anything, the coachman obviously approved of his behavior, so he just whipped the horse and whizzed past.

Of course, he was also careful not to let the whip fall on anyone, but just swung it in the air, making a crackling sound.

But things did not go as planned. Suddenly, a whip hit someone and immediately screams were heard.

"Ah——" Everyone was shocked, and the coachman was also frightened.
