The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Nangong's second young wife returned to her parents' home and caused an uproar.

Mrs. Su Lin was scolded so much that she even threatened to hit her head against a pillar when she refused to equalize her wife's status. Su Wanwan was slapped and shaved, and she and her sister-in-law were torn together.

In the end, it was the arrival of Mrs. Tianqi, the second wife of Nangong Da Situ and the younger sister of Su Shixing, that finally calmed down the situation.

Of course, Mrs. Tianqi Gong must have scolded Su Mianmian for her brother, her brother's old and foxy concubine, and the children the concubine gave birth to.

The aristocratic families are intertwined with intermarriage.

Pull up a radish and bring out a whole field of vine roots.

An hour after the incident happened, the whole cloud knew about the Su family's scandal, and it became a gossip that the aristocratic family talked about after dinner.

soon.

Something happened at Su's Ketchup House too.

Someone suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and food poisoning after eating her tomato sauce.

Some people also bought it back and put it in a warm room where red charcoal was burning. Large areas of moldy spots grew on it and it rotted away.

"Su's tomato sauce is not clean, don't buy it!"

"Twelve boys from the Puyang family ate less and almost died from diarrhea. They invited the imperial doctor from the palace to take care of her."

"It's so disgusting. It spoiled within two days after I bought it. It cost 80 taels of silver. I have to pay for it!"

There are more and more customers coming to the entrance of Sushi Tomato House.

There are even those who want to splash evil blood on the door of the store.

The twelfth son of the Puyang family who was the most injured was only eight years old. His father Puyang Junzheng was angry. As the most famous scolder in the Yunhuang court, he served as the censor Zhongcheng in the Yushitai. Among the court officials who were recruited by him, there were also A basket full, never failed.

The second-in-command of the Yushitai was caught in two scandals. One was that Su Shixing allowed his sons and heirs to kill innocent people; the other was that Su Wanwan deliberately murdered the Twelve Young Masters of Puyang and opened a black workshop to sell poisonous sauce.

After Empress Dowager Yan learned the whole story, she made a big move.

Su Shixing is sentenced to be dismissed from his post, and your false title of Doctor Guanglu is also dismissed.

The Ministry of Punishment was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of Su Wanwan.

The Criminal Department was very capable. Li Shilang personally handled the case and presented Su Wanwan's full guilt in one afternoon.

"Empress Dowager, the evidence is conclusive that Su Wanwan deliberately murdered the Twelve Young Masters of Puyang. In the black workshop, it was found that the tomato paste making environment was dirty and dirty, and the celadon jars were poisonous and moldy. The case was bad."

"Since that's the case—"

Empress Dowager Yan sat on a chair with an open-backed golden nanmu wood, her thin lips curled up, "Sentence Su Wanwan for being an official slave."

The eyes of the Minister of Punishment and the Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department flashed with deep astonishment.

Chongguannu?

This is too cruel. Demoting the daughter of Marquis Shenwei, a noble daughter of the Su family, to a commoner is already an extremely harsh punishment. Now it would be better to just do it in one step and become an official slave!

"The Queen Mother, the guilty minister realizes his mistake and is willing to accept punishment. He should resign and reflect on himself at home."

Su Shixing knelt in the hall, kept kowtowing, and begged, "I beg the Queen Mother to show mercy. My daughter Wanwan is young and ignorant. It is her first time in the sauce business and she has little experience. This caused the tomato sauce to become moldy and spoiled. She had no intention of murder. She is a very kind-hearted woman, a noble daughter of a noble family, how can she pretend to be a lowly official slave? If she is reduced to Jiaofangsi or Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion, she...her life will be over!"

The official is lost, it’s okay.

If the beloved little daughter becomes an official slave serving an Israeli servant, the reputation of the entire Su family will be affected.

In the future, getting married has become a big problem. No one from aristocratic family is willing to marry an official slave.

Empress Dowager Yan sneered: "Su Wanwan has done such dirty things, does Shenwei Marquis still want to intercede on her behalf?"

Don't think that the Ai family doesn't know that you, Mr. Su, have gone out of your way to give Su Wanwan to Yan Yang to make him a child.

The secret report from Dongchang clearly stated that they all went to Mrs. Mingguo to propose marriage.

"The Queen Mother is as kind as heaven, please have mercy on my little daughter!"

Su Shixing cried sadly, "She is a noble daughter of the clan. Even if she makes mistakes, it would be better to be expelled from the clan and demoted to a commoner, or to become an official slave is too... too..."

Too bad!

The ancestors of the Su family also had a princess, so the descendants are naturally considered to be members of the clan.

"It's not impossible to pardon her."

Empress Dowager Yan changed the subject and became enigmatic.

Su Shixing's eyes burst out with a strange look, and he said full of hope: "Thank you, Queen Mother, I am willing to pay any price -"

"If not, just use the title of Marquis Shenwei in exchange."

Queen Mother Yan said something faintly.

Su Shixing was like a duck that had been strangled by the neck, his face was red, his mouth was open, and he was completely mute.

Deprived of title?

Do not!

How can this work?

The title of Marquis Shenwei of the Su family has been passed down from generation to generation for 260 years. If it is cut off in his hands, Su Zixiu will be the heir apparent for the rest of his life, and the entire Su family will be completely removed from the clan. In the future, he will have no face to face his ancestors!

"What? Doesn't Marquis Shenwei love this concubine very much? Are you willing to give up your title and redeem her?"

Queen Mother Yan asked teasingly.

Su Shixing's tongue was stiff and his heart was on edge. He just pursed his lips and whimpered and shook his head.

A trace of regret flashed in Queen Mother Yan's eyes.

I wanted to help my daughter by depriving the Su family of their title and suppressing this old family with military power. Since Su Shixing was reluctant to pay for Su Wanwan, he had to give up.

She knew Qingyuan very well. Qingyuan valued Su Zixiu, but he didn't want to see the Su family becoming a local emperor in the southeast and getting bigger and bigger.

Housekeeping department.

Mu Tingxue didn't know yet about Su Wanwan being used as an official slave.

She is busy with political affairs.

Lu Jingyan, who is responsible for the general revision and compilation of "Fish Scale Atlas", is reporting on his work with a serious face.

"Your Highness, the land clearing work in Yundu has been completely completed. My subordinate is currently responsible for the compilation of the local fish scale atlas in Yingzhou, north of Yundu, and has encountered considerable resistance."

"Oh? Is it the powerful local family in Yingzhou who concealed their land and refused to cooperate with the officials sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Mu Tingxue's eyes were like frost swords. "When necessary, we can cooperate with violent agencies to enforce the law."

"This is just a resistance. The bigger resistance is that there is too little paper in the local area, and it is impossible to go to counties, villages and towns to calculate household registration land taxes."

Lu Jingyan let out a heavy sigh, "Oak bark paper is too expensive. This is not the case in Yingzhou, but in the forty states of Yunhuang."

Mu Tingxue was slightly stunned: "Oak bark paper?"

I didn't expect it to be such an unexpected answer.

"Yes, His Highness is in a high position and doesn't know anything. More than 90.00% of Yunhuang's paper is made of oak tree bark, also known as white cotton paper. Only nobles from aristocratic families can afford to use it. Starting from the beginning, it is expensive. It is absolutely impossible to use this kind of white cotton paper in local prefectures, counties, towns, and even many villages! Without paper, it is impossible to record household registration fields."

Oak trees are limited, oak bark is even rarer, and the process of using oak bark to make white tissue paper is extremely cumbersome.

Mu Tingxue said thoughtfully: "Paper is composed of short fibers and adhesive materials. In theory, as long as fibrous tissue with a certain aspect ratio is bonded together, it can form paper. Therefore, not only oak bark, but also sugarcane bagasse , reed, and bamboo can all be used as raw materials for papermaking."
