The wife is crazy!

Ling Yu was standing on a chair with one foot, his clothes hanging down on both sides, and his left hand was also missing a finger.

She held her elbow with her right hand, looked at Shen Qing's broken finger with a dim gaze, and said:

"Scholar, you cut off your own finger just to break off the engagement. You are too cruel. How much do you despise the young master of the Zhou family?"

Everyone in Qingzhou City knew that Shen Qing cut off one of her own fingers in order to break off the engagement as compensation for the loss of the man's reputation. The prefect then agreed with regret.

But is this really the truth?

Shen Weiwei slightly moved his broken fingers, his eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.

"Don't I know how important the right hand is to a writer? I was a nobody at the time and was pinned to the ground. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't escape. I could only watch helplessly as the machete was swung down heavily."

Ling Yu and Wu Yujue looked at each other:

Oh, there is this story?

Wu Yujue urged Shen Qing to speak quickly with his eyes, and Ling Yu also turned around and faced Shen Qing, obviously listening attentively.

Shen Qing was quite speechless.

Are these two people treating her as a joke?

He lowered his eyes and brushed off the dust on his clothes, and couldn't help but recall the situation at that time.

She was originally engaged to Zhou Li. This was the last wish of her mother and father, and she had to fulfill it regardless of whether she liked Zhou Li or not.

"Boom boom boom!"

Shen Qing was wearing a patched robe, his sleeves clean, and in his hands he carefully held the token of engagement between the two families - a heart-shaped jade pendant.

The concierge opened the door in confusion. After hearing Shen Qing's intention, he blinked slightly in surprise and said in a low voice:

"Madam Shen, wait a moment. I will go and report to the Master first."

Shen smiled and nodded. She stood for a long time under the scorching sun. Her thin clothes were soaked with sweat and her face was sunburned red.

Finally, the doorman came back and respectfully invited Shen Qing in. Then he slowly closed the door of Zhou Mansion. Through the gap, a strange smile could be seen on the doorman's lips.

"Boom-"

As the door closed, Shen Qing's nightmare began.

The prefect who appeared to be kind and elegant in front of others, tore off his disguise in front of her and turned out to be a cruel and despicable villain.

Zhou Yin was unwilling to marry Zhou Li to Shen Qing.

But she also didn't want to be known as a woman who regretted the engagement because she was snobbish, so she asked Shen Qing to take the initiative to cancel the engagement. Shen Qing was unwilling to do so. First of all, canceling the engagement without reason would damage her image as a scholar mother.

Secondly, she did not want her deceased elder to bear such a stigma, but the other party beat her up and even cut off her right little finger.

Disabled people are not allowed to enter the court for life.

This completely ended Shen Qing's official career and also eliminated Zhou Yin's own future troubles. Wouldn't a talented scholar, once he gained power, not settle old scores?

Zhou Yin is cruel and vicious, but also smart.

Finally, Shen Qing was thrown out of Zhou's house, and the gatekeeper declared to the outside world: Shen Qing was talented and arrogant, and disdained the prefect's marriage, so he proposed to cancel the engagement and pointed out Ming Zhi.

Prefect Zhou had no choice but to agree.

Everyone pointed fingers at Shen Qing, saying that she was high above the sky but her life was fragile, and that even the prefect's son looked down on her. Could it be that she wanted to marry the emperor?

Scholars have high aspirations and will definitely want to marry a legitimate son from a wealthy and prominent family.

Shen Qing lowered her head and endured it silently. What if she refuted? This Qingzhou City was Zhou Yin's world.

Her career is over, so does that mean she doesn't want to live anymore?

Shen Qing hunched over with her long hair covering her face, and covered her severed finger, running away from everyone like a rat crossing the street.

People only care about what they hear and see, and never carefully analyze the truth of the matter.

How could a scholar cut off his own fingers...

Who cares? Who cares?

They followed the crowd and pointed fingers at Shen Qing, talking about her deeds with relish, and it became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

The truth is, no one cares...

Suddenly coming back to his senses from his memories, Shen Qing looked stunned, his brows slightly moved, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.

Looking at Ling Yu and Wu Yujue who were staring at each other with wide eyes, he smiled faintly.

Not a word was said.

With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and left. Shen Qing, who was full of elegance and grace, had his sleeves fluttering and his hairband lifted high behind him. Shen Qing, who was once a nobody and had little influence.

Now she also has the aura of a man who can calm the mountains and rivers. This was given by Huang Quan, and it was Jiang Tang who helped her up and guided her on another supreme path.

In the past, she always thought that she should hide her weaknesses as much as possible, because no leader could be at ease with a ferocious tiger lying by his side.

But later she found out that she was wrong, very wrong.

If she is a tiger, then her master is the high and mighty tamer, who is superior to her in both intelligence and means.

Her concealment of her shortcomings is actually a sign of stupidity.

The master is right:

Hiding one's shortcomings is not a good habit.

It will make people unable to see your value.

---------

——The empress who claimed to be ill and unable to go out finally went to court.

Jiang Tang’s blood is really useful!

At this moment, the empress looked radiant and attended the morning court in high spirits. The third princess had asked for leave for many days, and now the court was ruled by the crown princess.

Jiang Tang didn't come again. The reason for his leave was easy to find:

Excessive blood loss, dizziness and headache.

The empress felt apologetic for this, and sent rewards to the Jiang residence like water, and even promoted Jiang Tang to the position of the second-rank general of the auxiliary country.

A group of ministers knelt down in the court.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang is still young and inexperienced. This is unreasonable! Please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

All the civil and military officials knelt down. Jiang Tang was promoted too quickly, which was unprecedented and unbelievable.

This makes me suspect that he is a wicked minister who is bringing disaster to the country!

But the empress has made up her mind, and it is useless for you to say more.

The imperial edict came from the palace, and several maids came respectfully into the Jiang residence.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Lord Jiang, who was "sick", punching and kicking a child.

The girl, who was about six years old, curled up on the ground pitifully, holding her head and holding it upright.

Jiang Tang did not restrain himself at all when he saw the person coming. He stepped on the girl's head and used his hand to pull back the ponytail that was scattered on her chest.

The long ponytail instantly swung in a graceful arc in the air, and finally quietly returned behind the body.

He raised his eyelids and looked impatiently at the empress who delivered the decree.

The lady delivering the decree did not dare to say a word more, and even deliberately omitted the step of asking Jiang Tang to kneel down and receive the decree.

After giving a few instructions, he left the imperial edict and returned to the palace to report.

Ling Yu, who was standing next to him, came to Jiang Tang with the imperial edict in his arms. Jiang Tang lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Yujue, who was lying motionless and pretending to be dead at his feet.

He said lightly: "Read."

Ling Yu was slightly stunned, and quickly glanced at Jiang Tang several times, and finally spoke hesitantly:

"I hereby issue an order by the providence of Heaven:

Jiang Tang, the fourth-rank doctor-general, is truly my backbone, the pillar of the country, and the minister of the society. He is both civil and military, wise and brave. He has made great contributions in the liberation of Jinzhou. I hereby appoint him as the second-rank general of the country. "

Jiang Tang's neck seemed to be rusted. He turned his head little by little and stared at Ling Yu who was avoiding his gaze.

His tone was filled with disbelief that was a sign of doubting life.

"You can't read?"
