He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Chapter 57: One year's salary fine, and a military expedition to investigate



After pondering for a long time, Shen Qing finally came to his senses. He quickly withdrew his left hand from Lu Yan's chest like an electric shock. He hesitated to speak, "I last night..."

Seeing how messy Lu Yan was, Shen Qing didn't feel embarrassed to say the last part of the sentence "I probably didn't do anything to you" for a long time.

Guilty.

Lu Yan looked at her rosy and sparkling cheeks and smiled angrily, "What do you think?"

Shen Qing was silent.

After giving her a peck on the lips like a punishment, Lu Yan turned over and got out of bed filled with sadness.

The moment Lu Yan turned around, Shen Qing suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange somewhere on Lu Yan's body, and her brain immediately came to a standstill again.

After a while, Shen Qing finally reacted. The tips of his ears instantly turned red, and the temperature of his cheeks continued to rise.

At the same time, Lu Yan's slightly gritted voice sounded in his ears, "Don't drink casually again in the future!"

After saying that, he climbed through the window and left as if to escape.

Silence returned to the room again, but Shen Qing's alarmingly fast heartbeat could not calm down.

"Knock knock knock——"

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, followed by Chanyi's voice, "Miss, are you awake?"

Shen Qing responded, touched his cheek where the temperature had finally dropped, and motioned for Chanyi to come in.

Chanyi waited for Shen Qing to stand up, but her eyes subconsciously glanced towards the center of the bed.

There was nothing on the snow-white sheets. Chanyi was startled. Nothing happened between the two of them?

Could it be...

After all, Shen Qing had already gone through so much last night that no other man could bear it, let alone Lu Yan, Bai Yueguang, who had been caring about Shen Qing for two years.

She frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Chanyi couldn't help but speak, "Miss, last night you and Prince Lu..."

Hearing Lu Yan's name, the tips of Shen Qing's ears turned red instantly, and she hurriedly explained, "Don't think about it, we just took a nap!"

Chanyi: "..."

Can this also be called simplicity?

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Shen Qing looked away angrily, "Anyway, don't say it anymore."

Chanyi smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but she subconsciously had a little more doubts about Lu Yan.

By the time Shen Qing got dressed and started eating, it was already time.

"How's it going with Lin's side?"

Chanyi served Shen Qing a bowl of shredded chicken and vegetable porridge and placed it in front of her before responding, "I'm already awake, but I heard that the Marquis went to Fuchuntang after returning home last night and didn't even mention Qi Futang." At that time, my whole body became very depressed in an instant, and even I only took a few bites of my breakfast and didn’t eat it again.”

I have to say that although Mrs. Yanglinghou is a little willful and mean, she sincerely likes Yanglinghou.

Unfortunately, it's just wishful thinking after all.

Shen Qing picked up the spoon and stirred it gently, "Aunt Xu was coaxed so easily?"

Because he was in the mansion, Shen Qing did not call Qin Luan by his name, so as not to cause trouble if someone heard about it.

Hearing Shen Qing ask about Qin Luan, Chanyi smiled and rolled her eyes, "No, I heard the girl came to report that after the Marquis came back last night, he went to Fuchundang with great interest, but he was kicked out by Aunt Xu not long after. I didn’t want to go to Madam and Aunt Qiu’s place, so I had to sleep in the side room all night. When I woke up in the morning, my face was dark. "

Shen Qing scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth. It was smooth, smooth and tasted just right. "It will probably be darker when I come back later."

The news of Qin Luan's entry into the family has spread like wildfire. It completely violates the current emperor's family philosophy of harmony between husband and wife and concubines not breaking the rules. It is impossible for Marquis Yangling to escape unscathed.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly smiled.

The husband and wife are harmonious, the concubine does not break the rules, and the words are nice, how many people can do it?

Shen Qing felt that instead of tying those crazy men and resentful women together to become a couple, it would be better to slightly relax the policy of reconciliation and divorce. From now on, the man and the woman would be married independently. Isn't it better than working hard and arguing every day?

As Shen Qing thought, Marquis Yangling's face was as black as the bottom of a pot when he returned to the house after the morning court.

Just above the court, three supervisory censors jointly wrote a book about Yanglinghou, saying that he disrespected his wife, pampered his wife, and disrupted the customs of our court. If he was not severely punished, it would probably cause a wave of injustice. wind.

This remark happened to speak to the emperor's heart.

Among the officials in the court today, only one-tenth of them have pure family traditions, and the rest either favor concubines or flirt with women. Among them, the behavior of Marquis Yangling is particularly serious.

So the emperor directly opened the knife on Yanglinghou to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Last time I was fined three months' salary for staying in Zuixianlou overnight, and this time I was fined all of a year's salary.

Marquis Yangling felt depressed, but he could only kneel down to thank him and promised to correct his family tradition and set an example for all officials. The emperor was satisfied.

After going to court, Yanglinghou went straight to Shen Qing's Tinglan Courtyard.

Along the way, he was holding a breath in his heart, and the breakthrough point for that breath was Shen Qing.

If Shen Qing hadn't acted recklessly, Qin Luan wouldn't have been angry with him until now, and he wouldn't have been embarrassed in court.

Shen Qing, who had anticipated Yang Linghou's move, had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and greeted him with a smile, "Father took off his court clothes in a hurry without even coming. I think he has something important to do with me."

The dark clouds on Marquis Yangling's face kept gathering. He no longer cared about the many servants in the courtyard and shouted angrily, "Shen Qing, do you know how much trouble you caused me by bringing Aluan into the mansion with great fanfare yesterday?"

Shen Qing took a sip of tea and said in a brisk tone, "If you find it troublesome, it would be better if my father didn't do it. There are many wives and concubines at home, and the small family outside is warm. My father has enjoyed all the blessings in this world."

Every time Shen Qing said something, Marquis Yangling's expression darkened, but Shen Qing had no intention of stopping.

"My mother worked hard at home and tried her best to save my father from worries. Aunt Xu stayed outside the house, looking forward to her father's return day and night, but what about my father? For his own selfish desires, he cheated on both sides for ten years. In the end, his wife was separated and his beloved was heartbroken. , shouldn’t father think deeply about such a result?”

After being stabbed in pain by Shen Qing, Marquis Yangling's face instantly turned extremely ugly, "Shen Qing, are you questioning me?"

Without waiting for Shen Qing to respond, Marquis Yangling spoke angrily again, "If it weren't for you, Xianglan wouldn't be so angry that she's bedridden to this day, and Aluan wouldn't be separated from me and still unwilling to look at me. Because of you! Shen Qing! You are a loser!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. Finally, Marquis Yangling almost lost his mind and began to speak indiscriminately.

Hearing this, Shen Qing stood up suddenly and walked towards Marquis Yangling, with no trace of disdain on his lips, "Sangmenxing? What my father said is really ridiculous!

Why didn't my father say that I was a Sangmen star when he happily welcomed me into the family to consolidate the power of the Mu family?

Why didn't my father say that I was a mourning star when I was spending my dowry and eating and drinking every day with peace of mind?

Now that the scandal has been uncovered, it has caused disgrace to the entire Shengjing. My father thinks that I am a lost star. Since my father doesn't like me so much, why don't I call my father to come to His Majesty to arrange this marriage together and give you Yangling back? Peace in the Hou Mansion? "
