How to say?
Now, with so many ministers impeaching him, what else can he say?
Shen Ranhao had a heartbroken look on his face and knelt down in the main hall, kowtow and admit his mistake.
"Everything is because I have failed to manage the backyard properly. When I go back, I will put that evil woman in court and give Mrs. Lu justice."
He abandoned Mrs. Shen to save himself, so the emperor would not say anything.
"Since you have to be punished for making mistakes, I will fine you half a year's salary and compensate Mrs. Lu."
"emperor……"
"I accept the decree."
The ministers who impeached him wanted to make further remarks, but were interrupted by Shen Ranhao's words of thanks.
Lu Hanxiao stared at the expressions of everyone present, and there was not much fluctuation.
The emperor didn't want to return the Ministry of War to his hands yet. He wanted to watch him and Shen Ranhao fight to the death so that he could reap the benefits.
The emperor waved his hand and put this "little matter" away.
After going to court, a group of ministers walked out while discussing what had just happened in court.
Lu Hanxiao and Shen Ranhao walked at the back, Shen Ranhao said in a pious tone.
"General Lu, I'm really sorry. It was my wife who was too ridiculous and did such a thing, which frightened the other lady."
Everyone saw the way he bowed his head and surrendered. The Shen family and his wife were very good at pretending to be like this in front of outsiders.
The ministers who were walking away in front also stopped and looked sideways at the two people.
It stands to reason that at this time, no matter how angry Lu Hanxiao is, when faced with Shen Ranhao's behavior, he should put on a show and say a few nice words out of consideration for his colleagues.
What's more, their relationship was already delicate, and now the Ministry of War was still in Shen Ranhao's hands. As long as Lu Hanxiao didn't want to arouse suspicion, he should be in harmony with Shen Ranhao.
But there was no warmth on Lu Hanxiao's face. Instead, he said with a joking smile and raised his eyebrows.
"Since she knows how absurd it is, she should learn to restrain herself, otherwise I will let your lady understand the true meaning of that sentence..."
"When a common man is angry, his blood splashes five steps!"
This is no longer the level of breaking up, it has simply risen to a higher level.
Shen Ranhao was stunned for a moment, then realized that there was Lu Hanxiao's shadow somewhere in front of him.
Outside the palace gate, Qing Ling stopped Lu Hanxiao.
"Why are you so angry today? At least the relationship between you and Shen Ranhao shouldn't be like this, otherwise the emperor will definitely make more assumptions."
Lu Hanxiao disagreed, "Those who touch me are touching my bottom line. If the bottom line is not known to those people, it will only allow them to take advantage of it."
After saying this, Lu Hanxiao got on the carriage and left.
When he returned to his house, Si Ning was rarely there.
After what happened last night, the two of them got along much more harmoniously than before.
Si Ning made fruit tea, and Qiu Ju was full of praise.
"That's great. Madam, how can you be so powerful? There is no such thing in the entire capital."
These words made Lu Hanxiao look over, and he picked up the fruit tea in front of him and took a sip.
It was fragrant and refreshing, indeed different from the teas he had drunk in the past.
He couldn't help but be curious, "Where did you learn this?"
"My aunt taught me, but she only taught me one person."
Si Ning lied. Anyway, the original owner's mother was gone, so there was no way to verify this.
But Lu Hanxiao still had a question mark in his heart. He thought of what Ming Han had said before, and Qing Ju had said before his death that Si Ning was not their young lady.
Is it a frame-up or is it true...
Lu Hanxiao glanced sideways at the person next to him. The person's eyes were closed in a smile as he took a sip of the sweet fruit tea.
He calmed down his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
What does it matter whether he is the real Si Ning?
That night, the master and the servants gathered around the charcoal fire, eating skewers and drinking fruit tea. It was very pleasant.
After dinner, Si Ning and Lu Hanxiao sat in the yard chatting.
In their rare free time, the two of them talked from south to north.
What was strange to Lu Hanxiao was that Si Ning, a young lady who never left home, had more unique insights than those men who traveled far and wide.
They talked about the current situation again, and Si Ning sighed.
"Actually, people don't care who is in power. They just want fairness and freedom. They will support whoever can give them these."
Lu Hanxiao looked at her sideways, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"You think so?"
Si Ning nodded, "Who doesn't want to see the beautiful mountains and rivers? No one wants to fight."
Lu Hanxiao took a sip of the wine at hand. He said nothing, but he remembered Si Ning's words.
She actually wants to see Splendid Mountains and Rivers, right?
That night, Si Ning prepared a medicinal bath for Lu Hanxiao and then fell asleep.
The next morning, when Lu Hanxiao woke up, he found an invitation on the table.
What unfolded was a post inviting him to participate in the opening of a drug store, with Si Ning's name written on the signature line.
Lu Hanxiao touched the invitation and raised the corner of his mouth, feeling that his mood had improved a lot in the morning.
Si Ning is busy again. The pharmacy is about to open, and there are too many things that need to be prepared.
Fortunately, with Sun Yifan and Ren Zhongyuan around, Si Ning can be less busy.
Ren Zhongyuan has completely stayed in the hospital since the last time.
While giving advice to Sun Yifan, he also studied the beauty creams developed by Si Ning.
He is a medical fanatic. Not only is he obsessed with medical skills, he also likes to study these prescriptions and ointments.
When he came to the drug store to find Si Ning that day, Sun Yifan handed the beauty cream to Ren Zhongyuan as Si Ning told him.
So far... Ren Zhongyuan never said a word about leaving.
When the three of them got together, Si Ning would mention some modern medical knowledge, which made Ren Zhongyuan more determined to stay here forever.
As a result, the medical clinic has two doctors, and the number of patients coming to see the doctor is much more than before. It also takes away a lot of business from the Yisheng Medical Clinic opposite.
Li Dawei was indignant and just waiting for a good opportunity to cause trouble for Sun Yifan and Si Ning.
The opening day was soon getting closer, and Si Ning felt inexplicably nervous.
This is her first time doing business here.
She knew nothing about it, but she had all her hopes on it.
She wants to gain a foothold here and doesn't want to rely on anyone.
Her nervousness also spread to others, and Sun Yifan and Miao'er were equally uneasy.
I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I repeatedly confirmed that the procedures and arrangements on the opening day were correct, and I felt a little more at ease.
The medical clinic was busy making arrangements, but Si Ning was admitted to the palace.
This was the third time that Si Ning entered the palace. The bad memories of the first two visits made her reject it, but she remembered the agreement she made with Concubine Shu, and it was time for her to fulfill it.
A few days ago, the maid next to Concubine Shu had secretly left the palace and took away the abortion-inducing spices from her hand.
Thinking that he was almost ready, he called Si Ning into the palace.
Different from before, the little eunuch sent by Concubine Shu this time was extra polite to Si Ning and patiently made Si Ning happy along the way.
When he arrived at the entrance of Qingyan Palace, he didn't expect to be stopped by the Queen before he even stepped in.
When Si Ning saw the queen's phoenix sedan arriving, he quickly saluted.
Seeing her expression, the queen waved her hand calmly, signaling her to get up.
"Mrs. Lu, what are you doing here?"
