"Li Lao Er invites you?"

"He not only invited me, but also invited all the important people he knew. He had a big buffet, and it's not even over yet. I tell you, Boss Qian was there."

Shang Xi was surprised enough that Cheng Feng went to the banquet, but she didn't expect that something even more surprising was going to happen next.

"Boss Qian is there too?"

"Most of the traveling merchants went, and we are all old acquaintances. Boss Qian will definitely go to show his support. Although the wedding was a bit hasty, it was still grand. Many of Li Laoer's friends from all walks of life went, so it was quite lively." As he spoke, Cheng Feng lazily collapsed on the wooden couch again, unable to open his eyes.

Shang Xi angrily kicked Cheng Feng again, still with considerable force: "They're getting married, why are you drinking so much?"

Cheng Feng stood up and rubbed his legs again, "Wife, there's Cang Man at the dinner table, who can't drink less? People like me who didn't crawl under the table are honoring you, but there are many who vomited and fainted after drinking!"

Shang Xi glared at Cheng Feng, "You still think you're a hero? Don't lie down. Let me ask you, how is Si Niang?"

"How could a woman who has seen so much be exposed because of a wedding? Lu Siniang is still so open-minded and generous. Not only did she not hide herself in shame because of being kicked out by Ge Dongqing, she came out to entertain the guests and personally toasted the guests who came to congratulate her. But then again, how many people are willing to give up being an official's wife and be willing to be a prime minister's wife? The various feelings involved are self-evident! There are not many women with a heart like Lu Siniang. Li Laoer is really lucky."

After hearing what Cheng Feng said, Shang Xi turned around and walked out. Cheng Feng asked her, "Wife, where are you going?"

Shang Xi said angrily, "Go to the palace and file a complaint. I want that bitch Ge Dongqing to receive the punishment she deserves, otherwise Heaven will not tolerate it."

Cheng Feng looked at the sky. It was not the right time to enter the palace. Besides, it was hard to say how angry the emperor was today. If these people got together, what good could come of it?

Cheng Feng started calling back to Shang Xi: "Hey, wife, what's wrong with you? Why are you entering the palace at this time?"

Shang Xi said viciously, "I can't stand seeing Ge Dongqing acting so recklessly. I must report him severely. Such a person is so evil and rotten that I curse her to have no children or grandchildren."

"Wife, your curse is too vicious. Uncle Ge didn't do anything to you, right? He's always been nice to you, right? How can you curse him to have no descendants?"

"She saw that I was good. When she saw me, she acted like a normal person, talking about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. At first, I respected her as a scholar with a wide knowledge of history and modern times. Now, I see, he is a hypocrite with a lot of thieves and whores in his heart."

Cheng Feng had heard Shang Xi scold Ge Dongqing like this more than once. This Ge Dongqing was indeed enjoying himself and was greedy for pleasure. The fact that he kicked Lu Si Niang out of the house today showed his character even more.

However, Cheng Feng has an advantage. He only cares about his own affairs and does not interfere in other people's affairs. He has repeatedly persuaded Shang Xi not to care about the affairs of the Ge family, but Shang Xi always fails to do so because Shang Xi and Lu Siniang have been good friends for many years.

Looking at Shang Xi's stubborn back, Cheng Fenggan was anxious. "Wife, calm down. If your uncle wants to intervene, he will punish Uncle Ge. If he pretends not to know, he won't see you even if you go."

Shang Xi said, "I'm afraid he'll protect his sworn brother, so I have to go to the palace to see him in person."

Shang Xi opened the door and ordered the servants, "Go and call Yuhua and Heye."

Cheng Feng had already chased out upon hearing the noise, "Why are you calling them?"

Shang Xi put her hands on her waist, feeling very angry. "I brought them both into the palace. I don't believe that three cobblers can't bring down Ge Dongqing."

Yuhua came running over quickly, and Heye didn't come late either.

Yuhua came out in a hurry, holding a needle in her hand, "Shang Xi, I'm sewing, what do you want me to do?"

He Ye was also doing needlework in her own courtyard. She also asked Shang Xi, "Aunt, what's going on?"

Shang Xi solemnly announced: "You two will follow me into the palace to see the emperor."

Yuhua looked at the sky. "Are you sure? Now? It'll be dark soon. Isn't the Emperor going to rest when we enter the palace?"

Shang Xi gritted his teeth and said, "His own sworn brother is worse than a pig or a dog, why is he still sleeping? Come with me, I will make him get out of bed even if he wants to."

Upon hearing this, Yuhua quickly handed the needle and thread in her hand to the maid beside her, and then said while tidying up her clothes: "Then go, the worst that can happen is that the emperor will kick us out, and whether the task succeeds or not, he won't punish us."

When He Ye heard Yuhua say this, she also straightened the front of her clothes and her sleeves, and prepared to follow.

Cheng Feng quickly stopped He Ye upon seeing this, "He Ye, go back to your own courtyard and don't get involved with them. Don't get involved in this kind of commotion in the future."

In fact, He Ye didn't want to go. She had never been to the palace before, and the rules there were very strict. She was afraid of causing trouble. She looked at Shang Xi for advice: "Aunt, should I go or not?"

Shang Xi said as a matter of course: "Go! Why not! Tonight is the best time to deal with Ge Dongqing. I want Ge Dongqing to pay the price for kicking Si Niang out."

Cheng Feng disagreed: "You can do it, right? He Ye doesn't say a word all day. If she gets nervous when she sees her uncle and her old illness comes back, it will be a mess."

Yuhua thought it made sense: "Shang Xi, Cheng Feng is right. It's better not to bring He Ye along for this kind of thing. He Ye, listen to your uncle and go back to your own yard to embroider."

He Ye felt relieved upon hearing this. She turned and left as if escaping, fearing that if she left too late, Shang Xi would call her back. He Ye regretted her trip to the Ge Mansion today. She always felt that it was them who pushed Lu Siniang to be kicked out.

Shang Xi cursed He Ye in her heart for being useless as she watched him flee, but she did not call him back. If He Ye's old illness really recurred, it would be terrible. If this person went crazy, she and Yuhua would not be able to subdue him. She looked at the situation in front of her and thought that one less person would be fine. One less person would not necessarily mean that nothing could be done.

Shang Xi encouraged herself. She pulled Yuhua and said, "The two of us can still handle Ge Dongqing."

Yuhua was not a cruel person. She said, "Shangxi, let's not make things too big. As long as the emperor punishes Lord Ge, we will come back."

Cheng Feng was worried and followed him all the way.

Wan Lianxing, who was reading a memorial in the Yangxin Palace, saw the people coming and his brain was about to explode. "Why are you here at this hour?"

Cheng Feng explained, "Shang Xi insisted on coming to sue Uncle Ge, and I couldn't stop her."
