The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

The first person to arrive was Wan Baiqian. He looked at Zhao Shuyun walking towards him and said jokingly, "Mrs. Sha is worthy of being the general's wife. She is different."

"You're just teasing me!" Zhao Shuyun knew Wan Baiqian was the most powerful, and also understood the hidden meaning of Wan Baiqian's words. "Am I late? I didn't come to congratulate Si Niang yesterday because I didn't understand the situation clearly. I hope Si Niang won't mind."

Lu Siniang smiled and said, "Of course not. I'm happy as long as you can come."

Wan Baiqian echoed, "Yes, looking around, I beg that 70% of all the civil and military officials in the court have stepped into the gates of the Ge Mansion in the past. Which of those wives hasn't been to the Ge Mansion to hang out with Si Niang? They have forgotten the time when they flattered Si Niang, but now that Si Niang has remarried, they have turned a deaf ear to it. Si Niang, remember this: if you meet these powerful villains on the street in the future, give them a slap in the face."

At this time, a gentle voice came from outside: "Bai Qian, this is not good for Si Niang!"

Everyone ran out when they heard the noise.

Wan Baiqian leaned against the door frame, looking at the slender, fair-skinned Zhong Siyu and said, "Oh! What brings you, the Empress, here? Fourth Lady, you're so proud!"

Lu Siniang brought Wan Baiqian, a picky eater, and everyone else to pay their respects to Zhong Siyu.

Zhong Siyu stepped forward and helped Lu Siniang. "No need to be polite!" Zhong Siyu stared at Lu Siniang. She was a strong-willed woman, but also a woman with a miserable life. Seeing that she was still treating people as she did in the past, Zhong Siyu felt distressed. She patted Lu Siniang's hand and said, "The emperor is worried about you, so he let me come to see you."

"Thanks to your grace, Si Niang is doing well."

Zhong Siyu pulled Lu Si Niang's hand and walked in, saying, "The emperor was deeply saddened by your past with Ge Dongqing and was in a dilemma several times. On his left hand is his sworn brother, Lord Ge, and on his right hand is his personally appointed female official. The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh and blood. Your marriage was arranged by the emperor alone. The emperor always hoped that you would achieve a positive result, but the world is unpredictable. I didn't expect Lord Ge to be so lustful that he would do such an unscrupulous and immoral thing. The emperor was worried about him, but he ignored the emperor's admonitions and treated the emperor's good intentions as worthless. The emperor used all kinds of means on him, beat him, scolded him, and admonished him countless times. The emperor tried many times to mediate the conflict between you and Lord Ge, but it was a pity that Ge Dongqing was obsessed with it and refused to listen."

Lu Siniang smiled, showing no joy or sorrow, nor any regret or nostalgia for Ge Dongqing, not even hatred. However, her raised eyelids showed her disgust for Ge Dongqing.

Lu Si Niang said modestly: "Master Ge and I are not destined to be together, so we can only be a half-way couple."

Zhong Siyu patted Lu Si Niang's hand again, "The Emperor knows you are wronged. Today at 11:00 AM, he will issue an order to demote Lord Ge by one rank and fine him for half a year. The affairs of the world are not difficult to legislate, but difficult to enforce. The Emperor is kind and considerate. He can't bear to kill anyone, let alone Lord Ge. Lord Ge has bad behavior and often goes to places of entertainment. The Emperor hates this. However, the Emperor values ​​friendship and often thinks of Lord Ge's hard work before he ascended the throne. Lord Ge has offered advice to the Emperor many times and has also helped him. For the sake of Fengqi's kingdom, he traveled thousands of miles on horseback to lobby for the kingdom, to prevent it from being devoured and divided by other nations. He had endured days in the desert, climbed snow-capped mountains with sores on his hands and feet, and even walked across uninhabited grasslands. Thinking of the hardships and blood and sweat Lord Ge had endured for Fengqi, the emperor wept, praising him as a meritorious official for Fengqi and his right-hand man. But after yesterday's incident, the emperor was deeply disappointed with Lord Ge, saying he had violated human ethics and that people like Lord Ge, who were pushing the boundaries of society, must be severely punished.

Everyone present praised the emperor's wisdom. Lu Si Niang also said, "Lord Ge is a meritorious official. It's only natural that the emperor values ​​and loves him. I also ask the queen to tell the emperor not to let me, Lu Si Niang, ruin their brotherly friendship. Lord Ge and I have come this far because of my bad luck. I don't blame anyone else."

Wan Baiqian said, "The Ge Mansion is a joke. It's better to come out early. Did you hear that when I woke up this morning, there was a new couplet on the gate of the Ge Mansion?"

Han Nianxia's curious eyes were full of curiosity. "Cousin, what couplet is this?"

Wan Baiqian smiled sarcastically, and saw that the couplet on the gate of Ge Mansion was not a good thing.

Wan Baiqian mentioned it, which meant he wanted to share it with everyone. Almost no one in the room knew about the couplets, so everyone looked at Wan Baiqian at this time, and Han Nianxia kept urging him.

Wan Baiqian no longer kept everyone in suspense. "The first line reads: A man of letters, reading all over the country, traveling the world, sleeping in willows and flowers, abandoning benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, abandoning his wife and taking a concubine. The second line reads: A famous courtesan in a high building, seeing countless men, her fame spread far and wide, serving as a private servant, abandoning her zither, pipa, and drums, pretending to be pregnant to enter the palace."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Only Yuhua hurriedly asked Wan Baiqian, "His aunt, what is this horizontal banner?"

Wan Baiqian looked at Yuhua, who looked silly, and said, "They are thieves and whores."

As soon as the horizontal banner appeared, everyone in the room burst into laughter, it was very lively.

Yuhua leaned back in her chair and muttered to herself, "This is such a disgrace to my grandmother. From now on, Master Ge and Fuliu won't have to go out anymore."

General Sha's wife, Zhao Shuyun, smiled and said, "I don't know who is so bold as to write a couplet on the gate of the Ge Mansion, but it is definitely in the right place."

While everyone was shaking their heads, Shang Xi's face turned pale. She blinked her big eyes and finally said softly, "Could it be that my son wrote this?"

Suddenly, the group of women in the room burst into laughter again, and the noise was so loud that it could have burst the roof.

At this time, Hong Zhekai's wife, Jiang, walked in and said, "What are you laughing at? I heard it from across the street."

Jiang had just come to Fengying with Hong Zhe and didn't go out much, but everyone knew her.

Lu Siniang quickly pulled the person to a seat, muttering, "What a rare guest! What brings you here?"

Jiang first greeted the queen, then said with a smile: "You are living a good life, how can I not come to add to your dowry."

Lu Siniang looked at the piles of things that everyone had brought her and said with a smile, "I've been married three times and I'm already middle-aged, and you're still adding to my dowry. Isn't that embarrassing for me?"

Jiang said, "You've been married three times, and I've only been able to catch up this time. Besides, the dowry was sent late! Fourth Lady, I hope you don't mind."

She was not the only one who was late in sending her dowry. Lu Siniang's remarriage caught everyone in the room off guard, and everyone in the room received their dowry late.

Lu Si Niang smiled and said, "Why should I be surprised? I'm just happy that you guys came. This happened so suddenly that I didn't even know I remarried yesterday."
