Qin Siyue was escorted out of the Penal Department Yamen. When he saw his father, Qin Siyue felt like he was seeing his savior.
"Father, save me, I don't want to go to Fahua Temple, I don't want..."
Qin Bochong looked at his daughter sadly and said to the officer responsible for escorting her, "Allow me to explain a few words to my daughter."
The official released his hold on Qin Siyue and said, "Brother, please hurry up. It's getting late."
Qin Bochong nodded.
The official went further away to facilitate the father and daughter's farewell.
"Father, I don't want to go to Fahua Nunnery. Please help your daughter to beg the Emperor and Concubine Sun..." Qin Siyue cried.
Qin Bochong sighed: "Do you think my father didn't go and beg? My father just came out of the palace, and Concubine Sun begged the emperor for you, but it was useless. Yue'er, you are confused..."
"It is a serious crime to disrupt the talent promotion ceremony. You also revealed the topic and framed the imperial official. The crime you committed would be a serious crime of beheading for anyone else."
"Father, my daughter didn't think so much. She just wanted to vent her anger." Qin Siyue still can't believe that she will be in this situation.
"The emperor's order cannot be violated, Yue'er, please go to Fahua Temple and stay. After a while, the emperor's anger subsides, and you can think of a solution for your father."
"But my daughter can't stay in that kind of place for a day. Father, please think of a way now!" Qin Siyue begged, holding on to his father's sleeves and crying.
Qin Bochong was upset by her crying. If he had his way, he wouldn't stand here anymore.
"Yue'er, please wake up. How long will you continue to be willful? You have harmed yourself and our family. Do you know that because of you, your sixth brother's title is gone?"
Qin Siyue was stunned. Is the sixth brother's title gone? Doesn't that mean that the Anping House has no hereditary qualifications?
"It must be Gu Zhouting, father. It's all Gu Zhouting's fault. He was venting his anger on Jiang Wanning's behalf. He deliberately made the matter so serious. The scientific examination hasn't even started yet. Isn't it just a matter of re-proposing it?"
Qin Bochong couldn't help but feel discouraged when he saw that his daughter was still talking to herself. He didn't want to say a word of advice. He even felt that Yue'er should be taught a lesson, otherwise she would cause even greater trouble in the future. Come.
"It's getting late. You can go with peace of mind. Later, I will ask your mother to go to Fahua Temple to take care of you. I won't let you suffer there."
Qin Bochong signaled to the official, who came immediately to take Qin Siyue away.
Qin Siyue grabbed his father's sleeve tightly: "Father, you can't let your daughter go to Fahua Nunnery without saving her, or she will die..."
Qin Bochong cruelly opened his daughter's fingers and allowed the officials to take her away.
As the carriage drove far away, one could still hear her daughter's cry, which was particularly miserable in the silent night.
Gu Zhouting did not return to Dali Temple and went directly to Jiang's house.
Jiang Wan Ning was still awake. She made tea and sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Jiang Shi came back from discussing business, smelling of alcohol, and saw the girl sitting in the yard. He walked over and sat down with a smile, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Sister, you are so interested tonight, why don't you enjoy the moon here?"
Jiang Wanning glanced at him sideways: "I just can't sleep."
"Are you worried? Come and talk to Third Brother."
Jiang Wanning sighed: "My eldest nephew is already fifteen this year, but third brother, you haven't even married a wife. You and the eldest brother are only five years apart. Third brother, I am doing this for you." You are worried."
The corner of Jiang Shi's mouth twitched: "I'll try harder."
"You, stop beating around the bush and just make things clear. What's the use of just showing your kindness?"
Jiang Shi said: "Can't I open my mouth? Every time I say something, I get a glare from her, and I'm afraid."
"Chuxi, show your business negotiation skills! Aren't you quite thick-skinned when discussing business?"
"That's different. Don't tell me. I've concluded another business deal tonight, and it's His Highness the Second Highness who leads the way. Our silk and satin are included in the tribute. This amount every year..."
Jiang Shi proudly held out five fingers.
"Five hundred horses?"
"What's two hundred pieces? It's five thousand pieces, all kinds of fabrics and colors, five thousand pieces in total. It's a pity that more than half of such good fabrics have to be paid tribute to Dayuan. I feel angry when I think about it. When will Dayuan give it to him? Yuan will give us tribute horses, ores, and all kinds of furs."
"Anyway, we have to pay tribute to Dayuan every year. If the court doesn't buy from us, it will have to buy from other families. Don't care, let's make the money first." Jiang Wanning thought openly.
It is better to earn for yourself than to earn for others.
This situation will not last forever.
Jiang Shi said: "Anyway, the business deal went so smoothly this time mainly because of the girl's face. In the past, the silk tributes were monopolized by Su, Qiao, Shen and Fang. We can squeeze in this time."
"Well, sister, you should go to bed early. I'll go back to the room first and write a letter to dad quickly to tell him the good news." Jiang Shi hurriedly ran away, and the second sister who saved him talked about him and Lin Ruoruo.
He didn't know why he was so afraid of Lin Ruoruo.
Maybe I like it too much!
Jiang Wanning smiled bitterly and shook his head. The third brother obviously liked Lin Ruoruo very much, but he was so cowardly that it made people grit their teeth.
It's already this point, it should be over for Gu Zhouting.
After waiting for a while, I finally heard Xiao Pan say: "Sir, my wife has been waiting!"
Jiang Wanning was in high spirits. She turned around and saw Gu Zhouting, dressed in red court clothes, strolling over.
He must have come here right after leaving office! There is no time to change into court clothes.
"Qing Xing, go and ask Yu Niang to get some food. Get more and send some to Mo Yu." Jiang Wan Ning guessed that Gu Zhouting hadn't had dinner yet.
Gu Zhouting lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "It's better to come to your place to have hot food. Back to Dali Temple, Xing Feng can only cook noodles."
Jiang Wan Ning poured him a cup of tea and pointed to the pastries on the stone table: "Eat something first to cushion your stomach."
Gu Zhou stopped and took a sip of tea. The fragrance overflowed and he felt energetic.
"Case closed?"
"It's over, the emperor has decreed that Qin Siyue's crown princess should be deposed and sent to the Fahua Nunnery outside the city overnight to cultivate her moral character. She will not be allowed to leave the nunnery in this life."
Jiang Wan Ning said: "This must be more uncomfortable for her than killing her!"
Qin Siyue had an arrogant temperament, and she was unwilling to suffer losses or bow her head. However, she ended up like this. After all, she could only blame herself.
"No, I'm so angry that I'm going to avenge my private life."
Jiang Wanning could imagine Qin Siyue's crazy appearance.
It would be strange if Qin Siyue didn't go crazy.
Gu Zhouting looked at her with a smile: "So, today in the East Palace, if you deliberately suffer a loss, you are cutting off her way out!"
She had just made a mistake during the day and was sent home to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. At night, a bigger crime was revealed. Who else could save her.
Jiang Wanning smiled and said nothing. This was not her plan. It was Qin Siyue who took the initiative to cause trouble. She was just following the trend.
"Where is the prince?"
"He was not affected at all, and he continued to preside over the talent promotion ceremony. Eunuch Zhu said that Concubine Sun interceded on behalf of the prince and she cried. You also know that the emperor treats Concubine Sun..."
Jiang Wanning sighed silently. The emperor still had Concubine Sun in his heart. Even though he had doubts about Concubine Sun, he still couldn't bear it.
