When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The Shangshu's wife will not give up until she achieves her goal.

She raised her chin and glanced at the Minister with contempt out of the corner of her eye. Minister Chen was extremely disgusted by her look.

He said sarcastically: "You always look at people with such contempt, but what qualifications do you have to look down on me? Do you feel that you have suffered a great injustice by marrying me?

Haha! To tell you the truth, I am unlucky to marry you! You are arrogant, unreasonable, and self-centered. I am really fed up with you. But now that things have come to this, the children are grown up. As long as you don't go too far, I don't bother to care about your affairs.

So, there is absolutely no need for you to appear in front of me all the time. If you feel uncomfortable, I will feel uncomfortable too! Can't we just let each other go? Isn't this better for everyone? Why bother to keep entangled?"

The Shangshu's wife looked at the person in front of her with disdain and said contemptuously:

"Hmph! If you had agreed earlier, why would I have wasted my time here with a fool like you?" Her voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp blade, piercing the other's heart.

They are always like this, they will start quarreling after just a few words. When the Shangshu's wife came, she clearly wanted to talk to him calmly, but I don't know why, whenever they talk, they will never say more than three sentences without any sharp confrontation!

It's like being possessed!

Minister Chen smiled bitterly:

"Who do you think I am? There are rules for the removal and promotion of officials. It is not determined by personal likes and dislikes. I have told you this more than once, but you just don't listen."

This woman treats the imperial court as her own backyard, and can do whatever she wants?

She does things without regard for the consequences or her reputation, as long as she can achieve her goal. How much trouble has this willful behavior brought her?

The Shangshu's wife did not believe it:

"That's true, but with your current status, it would only take a word for you to remove my brother-in-law from a lowly position. You just don't want to!"

Minister Chen has a headache:

"Your brother-in-law is a low-ranking official, but he did his job well and didn't make any mistakes. Why should I take him down? Your son's affairs are private affairs, and they have nothing to do with the court's employment. Besides, his daughter is dead, and killing someone is not justified! Moreover, he is your relative. How can you be so heartless?"

"I'm heartless? My son was almost killed by his daughter, should I just pretend nothing happened? An outsider is more important to you than me and my son, right? You just can't stand seeing me get along well, right?"

The minister's wife gradually became hysterical. The minister slammed the table and shouted, "Someone come! Take this crazy woman away!" He really couldn't stand it anymore. This woman was a lunatic and could not be reasoned with!

When the attendant came in, he had no choice but to say, "Madam, please go back first!"

The Shangshu's wife sneered and said nonchalantly:

"You'd better take my words to heart, otherwise I'll come here every day!" After saying this, she turned around and left leisurely.

Minister Chen was so angry that he was breathing heavily, as if he was going to faint in the next second. Seeing this, the attendant beside him hurried forward to support him and gently patted his back, trying to help him breathe.

Minister Chen stared at his wife's receding figure, his heart filled with anger and resentment. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty:

"You will be punished!" However, the Shangshu's wife did not seem to be intimidated by his threat. She just paused for a moment, then strode forward again, and soon disappeared from sight.

As the Minister's wife left, Minister Chen's face became increasingly gloomy.

He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, obviously trying to suppress his inner anger. After a long while, he slowly loosened his fists, took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness.

He turned to look at the attendant beside him and ordered in a serious tone:

"You should immediately investigate what the lady has been doing recently. Don't miss anything, especially those that may cause trouble.

Also, call the housekeeper in the backyard. I want to interrogate him personally. I always have a bad feeling that this woman will cause a big disaster. I hope I am just worrying too much..."

He had gone through untold hardships to get to his current position, and he absolutely could not let all his efforts go to waste because of this woman.

However, after hearing the detailed reply from the butler, Minister Chen felt dizzy, his vision flickered, and he was about to fall. His followers hurriedly supported their master.

He thought angrily: This woman is simply...

She is simply asking for her own death!

She actually hired a killer to kill that gangster. How unlucky she was to run into this mother and son!

Her son slept with another man's wife, and as a mother, she hired someone to kill the gangster, in such a cruel way. Are you afraid that others don't know it was you who did it?

The follower felt that his master was really pitiful!

I am often mad at the wife and the eldest son. It seems that the mother and son are born to be unlucky for the master. I wonder if the master would be really mad to death if he knew all the ridiculous things the eldest son had done?

Forget it, let’s not tell the master.

However, if he doesn't say it, someone will come and tell the Shangshu personally.

This person is Jingzhao Yin Chen Yuxuan. He sent a visiting card and asked to see the Shangshu. He realized that some things cannot be done secretly and must be done openly.

Although the official rank of Shangshufu is much higher than mine, I can't just wait to be killed for no reason. I have to strive for the most favorable situation for myself.

When the Shangshu received the visiting card from Jingzhao Yin, he had a bad feeling. Could it be that Jingzhao Yin knew about the good things that woman had done?

He could only pretend that he knew nothing and received the visiting Jingzhao Yin in his study.

After the greetings, Lin Yuxuan took out a confession. It was from a swordsman in the black market. The chief constable of Jingzhao Prefecture only caught one, but the confession was enough.

Other swordsmen would take the money and run away once the job was done, but this swordsman was a drunkard. When he had money, he would go to brothels and drink with women. When he was drunk, he would brag to the women there, saying that he had made a fortune and that today he had to find an oiran to sleep with him.

The courtesan was chatting and laughing with the nobles! How could she have the time to accompany such a rude person?

After being rejected, the swordsman felt extremely insulted. His face turned red instantly, veins bulged on his forehead, and sparks of anger flashed in his eyes.

Dare to give him face, have you asked about his knife? !
