After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Wei Ju was stunned. Then he followed the huge hole on the beam and saw the panicked Wang Hongyin. He frowned, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was cold, "Master Wang, why are you here?"

Hearing Wei Ju's voice, Wei Yuan also looked at Wang Hongyin, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He glanced at Wei Ju, and both of them revealed intense...despair in their eyes.

At this moment, what is more terrifying than Emperor Jianxi falling from the sky is... Wang Hongyin.

Who in the court doesn’t know Lord Wang’s abilities?

Was that blown out?

Famous case: "The old gun that guards the country is no match for the wild gun, and the tough guy is defeated and sheds tears"

The entire court has been discussing this issue for months, luckily the Duke of Zhenguo is so thick-skinned!

There are also articles like "Shocking! A senior official in Beijing actually raises pigs in his backyard?"

"Buddhism is unfortunate, the lewd Taoist priest secretly meets with the widowed nun in the palace"

"The dry garden has been dry for a long time, and the delicate flowers are eager for rain to nourish them"

This is nothing, the most terrifying thing is "The general is in his prime, and he has no time to rest with several women at night"

It tells the story of Shangguan Shu going to inspect the blood-fighting horses that had just been delivered from the Western Regions at night...

Wang Hongyin has been able to survive all these years thanks to the strict rule of law in the Chu State and the stable mood of the officials, especially the general in his prime and the princess who was looking forward to the rain...

Wei Ju and Wei Yuan both found it hard to imagine how badly the old man Wang Hong would write about what happened tonight!

The father and son were in despair. On the beam, Wang Hong gave an awkward smile, which made the father and son's scalps numb. Then, Wang Hong looked at Emperor Jianxi in the bathtub.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked over. Wei Ju and Wei Yuan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty..."

Cuan Xi and Gongsun Shi, who were standing nearby, looked at the fat old man in the barrel in horror. They obviously had not expected that he was so powerful. Their faces turned pale as paper and they knelt down trembling.

Things had reached such an embarrassing and irreparable point that Emperor Jianxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise his head. He wiped the water off his face with his hands and stretched out his arm to pull Shangguan Qingyue out of the bucket. However, when he lowered his head, he found that the little guy was looking at him expressionlessly.

Emperor Jianxi asked, "What's wrong, Yue'er?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a stream of water spurted out of the little guy's mouth and sprayed onto Emperor Jianxi's face.

Emperor Jianxi subconsciously closed his eyes and dodged, "Yue'er you..."

The little girl's eyes gradually became clear and she became happy. She grabbed the fat hand of Emperor Jianxi and begged: "Grandpa, please have fun. Come again, come again!"

Emperor Jianxi: ...

I think you want to kill me!

Emperor Jianxi grabbed Shangguan Qingyue by the collar, pulled her out of the bathtub, put her on the ground, and then climbed out of the bathtub with difficulty.

Then he stood still, tilted his chin slightly, as if what just happened had not happened, and said calmly: "Stand up!"

The four of them stood up.

Wei Ju had always been respectful to Emperor Jianxi on the surface, but not inwardly. He stood up and asked, "Why is Your Majesty here again?"

After he said that, he glanced at Shangguan Qingyue, who was extremely disappointed because he couldn't play the game, and his expression became even gloomier.

Emperor Jianxi was also an expert at making jokes and could stump Wei Ju with his questions.

He waved his hand and pulled Shangguan Qingyue to find a chair to sit down.

The moment Emperor Jianxi sat down, the atmosphere in the room became even weirder than before...

This is not going away...

"I... was admiring the moon on the roof, but I accidentally fell in. What a coincidence that I met you two, my dear ministers. Are you talking about something? Oh, then you guys talk about yours, don't bother me, I'll just take a rest and leave!"

The four of them looked at each other.

Shangguan Qingyue sighed: [In terms of shamelessness, the emperor's grandfather is not much behind... but not as good as my father. My father is the most shameless! ]

Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and lied, "My father and I have finished our chat and will be returning home..."

Emperor Jianxi ignored him and looked at Gongsun. "Hey, is this woman the wife of Lord Wei?"

He looked at Cuan Xi with great interest again, "Who is this?"

Wei Ju and Wei Yuan pursed their lips, thinking that His Majesty was really shameless. He had been listening for who knows how long and yet he still asked!

Do they have to tell us all these scandals?

Wei Ju was indeed a shrewd man. He smiled and instructed Wei Yuan, "Yuan'er, His Majesty has arrived at your villa. Why don't you serve him some good tea?"

It's obvious that he wants to avoid this topic.

Who would have expected...

When Gongsun saw Emperor Jianxi, she seemed to have seen a savior. She suddenly knelt down and cried about the pain, humiliation and hatred she had suffered from being raped by Wei Ju over the years. Emperor Jianxi and Shangguan Qingyue were very angry.

Emperor Jianxi immediately slammed the table.

"How can this be! Wei Ju, do you admit your guilt?"

Emperor Jianxi finally caught Wei Ju's weakness, and he stayed here just to punish Wei Ju.

Wei Ju was the emperor's uncle, his ancestors were worthy of being enshrined in the Taimiao, and he was Xiaomin's biological brother. Wei Ju had not committed any heinous crime, so he did not want to touch him. Since he could not start a big fight, it would be good to punish him for a small mistake to vent his anger.

After Emperor Jianxi questioned him, he thought Wei Ju would struggle, but he actually admitted his guilt, "I am guilty and I am willing to be punished!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and tried to plead for Wei Ju. Even though his own father had cuckolded him, the noble families had always been about sharing weal and woe... For the sake of his family and filial piety, he had to endure this humiliation.

Emperor Jianxi was not surprised that Wei Yuan would plead for mercy, but Shangguan Qingyue frowned, "My second uncle is so pitiful, his brain has been cuckolded..."

Emperor Jianxi nodded, then fell silent, as if he was thinking.

Gongsun's heart sank to the bottom when she saw this.

She knew that Emperor Jianxi would not touch Wei Ju for the sake of Empress Xiaomin, not to mention that the Wei family was well-established and had a father who was worthy of being enshrined in the Taimiao!

She did not expect Wei Ju to be sentenced to death, and Emperor Jianxi would not sentence a minister to death for a woman who had lost her chastity!

She just wants an explanation, justice, and... freedom.

As long as she leaves the Wei family, it doesn't matter if she becomes a commoner!

But in the current situation, if Wei Ju was let off lightly...it would mean she would be the one to die.

Silencing someone is the best way to hide a scandal.

Gongsun was filled with despair, for she had thought that the current emperor was the most considerate of women in history, and that after he ascended the throne he would allow women to divorce their husband's families. If the husband's family was at fault, the woman could take half of the family property after the divorce.

If anyone kills a woman or a baby girl without authorization, he or she will be punished for murder regardless of relationship...

Girls' schools were opened, and examinations were held for women every year. Although they were not used to recruit scholars, those who passed the examinations could be exempted from slavery for the rest of their lives. Even those who were slaves, lowly people, or prostitutes... could have a chance to regain their freedom.

It was because of this that she dared to take a gamble in front of Emperor Jianxi.

Emperor Jianxi stared at Wei Ju, who was kneeling on the ground, with a deep gaze.

It’s not that it’s difficult to deal with him, but he inexplicably feels that something is wrong.

After a while, Emperor Jianxi found his absurd idea ridiculous. He coughed lightly and gave an order in a deep voice.

Wei Ju was dismissed from his post and fined fifty lashes of cane. Gongsun and Wei Yuan were sentenced to divorce, and Gongsun was allowed to leave with her children.

Emperor Jianxi thought about it and decided, for the sake of Gongsun family’s reputation, to issue a strict decree that nothing that happened today should be spread!

After the imperial edict was issued, both parties were satisfied.

Gongsun's emotions were in turmoil. She kowtowed to Emperor Jianxi and thanked him for his decree, tears streaming down her face.

Wei Ju also obeyed the order, but when he stood up for a moment, he clenched his fists tightly under his robe.
