After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

"Hey, have you heard? The son of the Minister of Revenue, Wei Mingbo, killed the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Huai'an a few years ago."

"Wasn't the bastard son of the Marquis of Huai'an beaten to death by a commoner?"

"Maybe he is the scapegoat!"

"It's not good to say such things. Who would dare to do such a heartless thing under the emperor's feet?"

"I don't know about that. I heard that the Marquis of Huai'an has gone to Jingzhao Yin and said that the Ministry of Justice had made a hasty judgment and wanted to reopen the case for a new trial."

"I heard that although this bastard son of Marquis Huai'an is a concubine's son, he is the eldest son and is deeply loved by his old lady. How could Marquis Huai'an let it go?"

Mo Wushuang sat in the carriage and lowered the curtain in silence. Shen Moyu sat beside her and looked at her.

"Mother, isn't that the Minister of Revenue my father's man?"

Mo Wushuang's eyes were heavy. "Yes, he is under your father's command."

"If the Minister of Revenue really did something like this, I'm afraid he would lose his position."

"I'm afraid it's more than just losing my job."

Mo Wushuang's tone sounded a little heavier. Having been married for many years, she knew what kind of person Shen Lingfeng was better than anyone else. That was why she felt unhappy when she heard about this.

……

There was a sound of porcelain breaking, and Shen Lingfeng threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

The Minister of Revenue Wei Lin and the Vice Minister of Justice Yun Qisheng stood aside with gloomy faces, allowing Shen Lingfeng to get angry.

"Why are you bringing up this old story now?!"

Shen Lingfeng was furious. "Do you know that the Marquis of Huai'an has already gone to Jingzhao Yin to request a retrial of the case? He will also bring it up at the morning court tomorrow. Once His Majesty agrees to a retrial, I will not be able to save you!"

Yun Qisheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, turned to look at Wei Lin and said, "Sir Wei, I am here to help you with this matter. You need to find a solution as soon as possible."

"I know."

Wei Lin looked gloomy. "I just can't understand why what happened back then has suddenly become a topic of conversation on the streets. Who is secretly manipulating this?"

Speaking of this, Shen Lingfeng also agreed with it. "I have already sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon. The most urgent task is to find a way to stop Huai'an Hou from retrialing his son's case."

"I understand."

Wei Lin responded respectfully, after all, this matter was his family's business.

Shen Lingfeng looked disappointed, "Master Wei, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your son has been useless for a long time. If he continues like this, he will drag you down sooner or later."

Wei Lin remained silent. How could he not know that his son was not doing well for him? It was just that he was the only son and he had tried everything to have another one over the years but failed.

So no matter how ridiculous Wei Mingbo was, he had to do his best to cover it up for him. After all, he was his only bloodline.

"You guys go back first and think about how to solve this problem."

When Mo Wushuang came in with the soup, he happened to see Wei Lin and Yun Qisheng opening the door.

The two of them looked very friendly and enthusiastic. "Your subordinate greets the madam."

"Master Wei, Master Yun, are you going back?"

Mo Wushuang's expression was unnatural for a moment, but then he returned to his usual greetings, "Why don't you stay for a quick meal before leaving?"

The two looked at each other, their expressions somewhat awkward, "No, no, there are a lot of things going on at home, thank you ma'am."

Seeing the two people walking so fast and hurriedly, Mo Wushuang's face became more gloomy. He watched them walk away before carrying the soup in.

"I asked someone to make some ginseng soup. You can have some."

"Wushuang, didn't you go out with Yoyo? How was your fun?"

When Shen Lingfeng saw Mo Wushuang, the expression on his face was no longer as fierce as before, but a little more gentle.

"Fortunately."

Mo Wushuang handed him the ginseng soup and asked, "What are Lord Wei and Lord Yun doing here?"

"It's just that His Majesty had some things for them to do during the morning court today, and they couldn't make up their minds, so they came to ask me."

Shen Lingfeng's subconscious concealment only made Mo Wushuang feel cold. She remained calm and sat down on the wooden chair at the lower right corner of the desk.

"I went out with Yoyo today and heard something that seemed a little strange, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Shen Lingfeng stopped scooping the ginseng soup and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that a few years ago, the eldest son of the Marquis of Huai'an was actually beaten to death by Lord Wei's son. That commoner was just a scapegoat."

As Mo Wushuang spoke, he observed the expression on Shen Lingfeng's face.

Shen Lingfeng's eyes flashed with guilt, and then he laughed loudly, "Wushuang, where did you hear that from?"

"It has been spread all over the streets a long time ago. Is this true?"

Mo Wushuang has always been straightforward, and she doesn't want to beat around the bush with Shen Lingfeng about this matter.

Shen Lingfeng shook his head. "These are just some rumors. They can't be taken seriously. Wushuang, Lord Wei is the Minister of Revenue. This matter is of great importance. You must not talk nonsense outside."

In fact, Mo Wushuang already knew it in his heart at this time. Shen Lingfeng must know about it, but since he wanted to play dumb, he might as well pretend to be stupid.

"You said it was hearsay. I just asked because I thought he was close to you."

Mo Wushuang was about to stand up and leave the study, but Shen Lingfeng put down the bowl and called her.

"Wushuang, I want to discuss with you about Yoyo's marriage."

Shen Moyou had just finished talking to her this morning, but Shen Lingfeng couldn't wait any longer, which immediately ignited Mo Wushuang's temper.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now. Yoyo hasn't reached marriage age yet, so I want to keep her for a few more days."

"Wushuang..."

Shen Lingfeng wanted to say more, but Mo Wushuang turned around and glared at him, "Shen Lingfeng, I only have this one precious daughter, unlike you who have two. I can't bear to let her get married so soon. Am I wrong?"

After being criticized by Mo Wushuang, Shen Lingfeng had no choice but to compromise, "I'll listen to you. Don't be angry. I'm also thinking about finding a good husband for her."

"No need, I just want Yoyo to marry someone who truly treats her and loves her, and everything else can stand aside."

Mo Wushuang's face turned red as he spoke, and he looked very excited. After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Shen Lingfeng's face. He just waved his sleeves and left.

"Father, mother said this only out of concern for elder sister. Please don't be angry."

After Mo Wushuang left the study, Shen Lian'er found an opportunity to sneak in. Seeing Shen Lingfeng's unhappy expression, she tried to persuade him sensibly.

"You are much more sensible than before."

Shen Lingfeng actually didn't pay much attention to his daughter Shen Lian'er, but today was different from the past, because her mother was a concubine before.

But now Su Moli is the second daughter of Wuyang Marquis and the queen's sister. This status allows her to be on equal footing with Mo Wushuang.

Shen Lingfeng looked at his seemingly well-behaved daughter in front of him and thought, "How is your mother doing recently?"

"Father……"

Shen Lingfeng seemed to have asked about something sad. Shen Lianer looked up at him with an incredible look on her face. "Lianer didn't expect that you would still remember my mother."
