Prime Minister Wei immediately understood what the housekeeper meant. He couldn't use force now, let alone ask the emperor to send people out to arrest people. This matter was no longer about food.
After a while, the servant brought the Four Treasures of the Study, and Prime Minister Wei reported the situation here truthfully, and also specifically wrote down the stakes involved.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was hungry and waiting in a stalemate for the emperor to send someone.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to have wings and flew all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
This also includes the fact that the people in King Yannan's fiefdom are living a prosperous life and King Yannan is rescuing refugees.
In the palace, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, the singing of orioles and the dancing of swallows, and the fragrance of wine overflowed. Emperor Song Rui was holding a beautiful woman in his arms and looking at it intoxicated.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
The eunuch chief An Gonggong listened to the messenger's dictation. He did not care about being punished by the emperor and knelt at the door of the palace with the letter in both hands.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. If it's a big deal, it's just an excuse for the Queen to call the Emperor away from his concubine." The delicate beauty started acting coquettishly, and the Emperor couldn't control it.
He opened his mouth and drank the wine brought to his mouth by the beauty. The emperor put his arm around the beauty's waist and waved to the door of the palace, "Come in."
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the dancers retreated to one side to wait for instructions.
Eunuch An quickly stepped forward and handed over the letter, and the emperor looked at it for ten lines.
"Prime Minister Wei is getting more and more confused. He is so panicked over trivial matters."
The emperor waved his hand, "Come here, tell the people from the Ministry of Revenue to handle it."
…
When Jiang Shuyue rushed outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, she saw Jiang Zhengming leading the officials to deal with the refugees.
There was a government servant pushing a grain truck at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to distribute the grain.
After receiving the food, the refugees all walked towards the city gate.
The onlookers gathered in small groups and discussed something. Looking from a distance, some shook their heads and sighed, while others showed disdain.
"Miss, where are Mr. Nangong and the young master?"
The number of onlookers gradually decreased. Qiu Ju looked around, but Nangong Zeyue was nowhere to be seen.
"Stop looking. He must have taken Suisui to play somewhere."
Jiang Shuyue really guessed right.
On a street not far from here, on the second floor of a teahouse, the two of them were eating watermelon and pastries while listening to the storyteller in the hall telling wonderful stories.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the story was adapted from the disturbance of refugees entering the city.
There were bursts of laughter and cheers from the first floor.
"Uncle Nangong, is the King of Yannan that the storyteller talked about the father of the person I know?" Suisui was very smart, and he did not call his grandfather directly.
"It's him. He's really an amazing person. From now on, you have to be like him. Only with great love in your heart can you be respected."
"Ahem, why did we make an appointment? We were outside..." Nangong Zeyue blinked her left eye and said teasingly.
Suisui put down the melon rind in his hand and looked at the door of the private room, "There is no one else here, so I don't need to trouble you."
Nangong Zeyue: "..."
"Hey! No trouble, no trouble, who among us will follow whom?"
Suisui's eyes flashed with cunning, and he looked at Nangong Zeyue with a smile, his short legs swaying.
She said with a sweet voice: "I mean if others misunderstand, I will acquiesce. I didn't say I wanted to call you daddy. Uncle Nangong, please don't get it wrong."
snort! If you want to trick your baby into calling you daddy, that won't work. Daddy will be sad if he finds out.
Seeing that there were no worse consequences, Jiang Shuyue said to Gao Mu and Qiu Ju, "Let's go back too."
"Miss, I just heard from others that the refugees took away a lot of rice from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"It's lucky that no one was killed. I didn't expect them to be so courageous."
It is said that evil is extremely evil. When a person is forced to a dead end, the devil in his heart will break through the shackles.
Jiang Shuyue doesn't think so. Everyone has a bottom line, but some people have a high bottom line and some people have a low bottom line.
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Shuyue raised her eyes and saw Jiang Zhengming walking towards her.
Five years have passed, and the pampered Jiang Zhengming has not changed much.
"Why don't you go home? Your mother and sister are looking for you everywhere."
Jiang Shuyue and Qiu Ju looked at each other, then looked at Jiang Zhengming expressionlessly, "Master Jiang, are you kidding me? I have been living in my house, which home do you want me to go back to?"
"Not to mention my mother. My mother has passed away several years ago. My mother's spiritual throne is still in your Shangshu Mansion. Shouldn't you return it to me?"
Jiang Shuyue had been thinking about going to Shangshu Mansion to retrieve her mother's coffin. At this time, she met Jiang Zhengming and brought it up.
"you……"
Jiang Zhengming was speechless when asked, how could this be different from what he thought and what Yang said? This evil girl had no intention of returning to Shangshu Mansion.
"Your home? Are you married?"
When Jiang Zhengming asked this question, his heart was in his throat.
He stared at Jiang Shuyue intently, hoping that she would shake her head.
Jiang Shuyue said calmly: "From the moment I was kicked out of Shangshu's Mansion, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Whether I get married or not is not something you, Lord Jiang, should have to worry about."
Jiang Zhengming thought about the marriage he had promised himself, and he suppressed his anger.
Her voice softened a bit, "Yue'er, it's been five years. Dad was very angry at the time and it was inevitable that he would do things too hastily. Can you go home with Dad?"
"Master Jiang, you are so forgetful. My name, Jiang Shuyue, is not on the Jiang family's genealogy. It doesn't matter to us."
"Yes! Our lady doesn't care about returning to your home!" Qiu Ju added unceremoniously.
"Yue'er, how can you say that we have nothing to do with you? You are a woman living abroad, and you will not have any support from your mother's family when you get married." Jiang Zhengming spoke earnestly, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
"I've been here for five years and I'm living a good life. You'd better support Jiang Jiaojiao."
Jiang Shuyue said and took a step back, "That's it, I'll come to pick up my mother's coffin some other time."
Jiang Shuyue was not the original owner. Jiang Zhengming was a stranger to her, and she didn't want to say a word to him.
Gao Mu saw Jiang Shuyue turn around and quickly bowed, "Girl, please get in the car."
Only then did Jiang Zhengming notice a tall man standing behind her, with a sword on his waist.
A luxurious carriage parked behind the man.
Is she married?
And married into a noble family?
Seeing Jiang Shuyue's hair still in a girl's bun, Jiang Zhengming felt relieved again.
When she kicked her out of the house and said so many heartless words, it was a normal reaction for her to deny him.
When she returns home to get Su's spiritual throne, he will understand her rationally and move her emotionally.
After telling her about her marriage to the Wu family, he believed that his daughter would be willing to return to Shangshu Mansion.
When Jiang Shuyue returned home, the maids and servants gathered in the front hall to discuss the rumors in the capital.
Jiang Shuyue returned to the courtyard and had just changed her clothes when she heard Lan'er reporting outside the door, "Miss, someone is looking for you outside."
