Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Yang insisted, "Sir, didn't you say that I had no evidence to prove that he was disobedient and unfilial? Isn't this unfilial? Now he is saying this to sever the mother-son relationship with me. Is this proof?"

Gao Chong was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word.

Qin Yunhe looked at Gao Chong who was so frightened that his body was shaking like a sieve. He felt very sympathetic and helpless, and could not help but stand up to comfort Yang.

"Aunt Yang, please calm down first. Gao Zhong just said something out of turn. He definitely doesn't mean to sever the mother-son relationship."

"Why not? The will states that he should take care of me in my old age and I should give him the other half of my property. Now that he says he doesn't want that half, doesn't that mean he wants to sever this relationship?

I have never had the heart to ask adults to punish him, but I indulged him to say such things. I don't want to say it anymore, so please help me teach this disobedient child a lesson."

Although he sympathized with Gao Chong, Qin Yunhe was also helpless.

Even though Gao Zhong did nothing wrong in this matter and was the one who gave in everywhere, the matter would become serious if he was accused of being disobedient and unfilial.

The best way now is naturally for Gao Chong to ask Yang for forgiveness, but seeing how Gao Chong was being bullied, Qin Yunhe couldn't bring himself to ask Yang for forgiveness.

"Aunt Yang, calm down first." Qin Yunhe could only persuade himself: "You also said that you couldn't bear to punish him. Now that you let me teach him a lesson, isn't it too late to regret it later?

Besides, Gao Chong has a good reputation, so even if I want to punish him, I have to report to the education commissioner and revoke his honor first."

When the word "Ge Gongming" was mentioned, Gaozhong's face turned even paler. He looked at Qin Yunhe with pleading eyes and was about to kneel down to beg Qin Yunhe, but he remained firm and said nothing.

Yang just snorted twice and didn't say anything else.

Qin Yunhe could also see that she was just speaking in anger and did not really want to deprive Gao Zhong of his honor.

"How about Aunt Yang go back and calm down first. I'll report this to the education commissioner. If you still want to punish Gao Zhong, come to the hall again?"

Yang still didn't speak, and although Gao Chong looked desperate, he didn't say anything either.

Qin Yunhe had no choice but to call Zhao Ping: "Zhao Ping, take Aunt Yang back to the inn first."

Yang did not resist. She glanced at Gao Chong and followed Zhao Ping away.

After Yang left, Gao Zhong fell down on the stool, covered his eyes with one hand and burst into tears.

Qin Yunhe didn't know how to comfort him, so he just found a stool nearby and sat down. Gao Zhong cried for a long time and finally stopped crying, looking hopeless.

"Mr. Gao, don't worry too much. I'm just saying that I'm going to remove your honor. I don't really intend to report it to the education commissioner. Look at Yang's expression. She definitely doesn't want you to lose your honor. The punishment is just to scare you.

You go back first. Wait until Yang calms down, then go talk to her."

Gao Chong calmed down at this moment, bowed to thank Qin Yunhe and left.

When Qin Yunhe came back, Qin's mother was holding Qin Ci and patting his burp. Qin Zheng was put on the bed, and Yuru and Ruyi were playing with him.

Yuru has finished her confinement. Although she was weak in the back and legs for many days after giving birth, she has gradually recovered after more than a month of recuperation.

Qin Zheng and Qin Ci are almost two months old. Their little face has grown up a lot, and after losing their initial blush, they are now fair and pretty, and very lovable.

If she saw Qin Yunhe coming in, she would shout, "Dad, you're back."

"I'm back. What did Ruyi do today?" Qin Yunhe said as he took Qin Ci from Qin's mother's hand.

"Today I read the Three Character Classic to my brother."

Qin Yunhe smiled and said, "Really? Ruyi is really well behaved. Is my brother well behaved?"

Qin Yunhe looked at Qin Ci in his arms and said, "Are you behaving well, Ci'er?"

Ruyi complained: "Ci'er is not well behaved. He always cries and must be held by grandma. Zheng'er is well behaved. He lies down without crying or making a fuss."

In fact, Qin Yun knew it even if Ruyi didn't say it. Although the two children were born at the same time, their personalities seemed to be somewhat different.

Qin Zheng is relatively calm. When he is put on the bed, he can lie there and play by himself without crying or making a fuss. If someone teases him, he will laugh.

Qin Ci is more dependent on others. He always likes people to hold him and coax him. It is difficult for him to let go of others and he will cry when they do.

Qin Ci was held in Qin Yunhe's arms, waving his two little arms happily, as if to welcome his father back from the yamen.

He had no idea that he had just been reported by his sister and had been identified as a naughty brother.

Qin Yunhe picked up a rattle and shook it gently. Qin Ci was attracted by the sound and looked over.

Qin Zheng, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be attracted by the sound as well. He turned his head and tried to find the source of the sound.

Ruyi saw Qin Zheng looking at her, so she took a hydrangea with a small bell next to her and tried to tease Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng smiled with his eyes squinted and waved his little arms.

Qin Yunhe looked at the children and felt soft and warm in his heart.

The meal was quickly served, a maid came over to take the child, and the family went to eat.

"What did Yang say? Did the Gao Juren agree to marry Yang's daughter?"

"Gao Juren refused. His two sons have grown up and will marry in two years. It would be disrespectful to marry a wife at this time. He is also afraid that people will be unhappy when they hear that they will have to face two mothers-in-law when they get married."

"That's true. How can Yang be happy if Gao Zhong doesn't agree?"

Qin Yunhe shook his head and sighed, "Of course Yang was not happy about it. She made a fuss and made Gao Juren say that he didn't want the half of the property. Yang caught the opportunity and said that Gao Juren was disobedient and unfilial if he wanted to sever the mother-son relationship with her, and asked me to punish Gao Juren. Alas, I could only give her an excuse and say that Gao Juren had a meritorious service. If she wanted to punish him, she had to wait until I reported to the academic official to revoke his meritorious service."

Qin's mother cared a lot about fame and honor, especially since her own son had been stripped of his honor and honor. When she heard that a juren was going to be stripped of his honor and honor because of such a thing, she felt it was a pity.

"I can see that she is not my real mother. How could she bear to torture her son like this? It's a pity for Gao Juren. He has studied for more than ten years and was waiting to go to Beijing to take the exam next year, but he encountered such a thing. Do you really want the academic official to revoke Gao Juren's title?"

"No, it's just an excuse. I want Yang to calm down. I don't think she really wants Gao Zhong to lose his reputation and be punished."

Many days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yang and Gao Chong never came to the government office again.

It was a day off, and Qin Yunhe was at home with his family. Zhao Ping came over and said that the Qi Mansion had sent servants to invite Qin Yunhe over.

"Did you tell me what it was?"

Not to mention holidays, even on weekdays it would be difficult for Qin Yunhe to go there.

"It is said that Lord Gu is also here, and they would like to invite you to play chess with them."

When Qin Yunhe heard that his senior brother was also there, he thought that the two adults might have started talking about something, so he wanted to call him over.

Unfortunately, he was not very good at chess, and he had no idea what his senior brother had said to the prefect.
