After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

The cold questioning fell, and no matter how strong the joy was, it could not warm the Xie family at this moment.

Tian Ding stood up from the end of the table, filled the empty bowl with three bowls of wine, and raised the big bowl towards Shen Jinmo and Xie Nanxing.

"Tian wishes Lord Shen and Master Xie a happy marriage and a long lasting happiness."

He drank it all in one gulp. Tian Ding was just from a merchant family, and he was not as noble as the scholars in the palace.

If he is forced and oppressed, he should give in.

Xie Nanxing raised his glass towards Tian Ding and sipped the tea.

When he turned around to look at Shen Jinmo again, the corners of his eyes seemed to be smiling because someone was listening to him.

He tugged at Shen Jinmo's hand again: "Okay, okay, they may not be ready yet. My master is the most generous, so just give them another chance."

The way Xie Nanxing spoke to Shen Jinmo was actually gentle and lively. In the past, others would have definitely used the word "gentle" to describe Xie Nanxing.

But in this situation, the nobles and officials in the hall just felt that Xie Nanxing was a vixen who was not worthy of being in a respectable occasion, and they disliked everything about her.

All the lanterns in the Xie Mansion were lit, and the bright lights illuminated the courtyard. Shen Jinmo raised his hand slightly, and Mo Ping hurriedly took two servants to move the two chairs out of the house.

Yang Huai brought a small table and placed it in front of Xie Nanxing. Some easy-to-digest noodles were served, and many of Xie Nanxing's favorite dishes were placed on the table.

It was time for Xie Nanxing to have dinner. No matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as Xie Nanxing enjoying her dinner.

Seeing Xie Nanxing eating a few chopsticks of noodles very obediently, Shen Jinmo looked around at the guests and finally set his eyes on Tian Ding.

"Come, line up and congratulate my husband."

There was no playfulness, no teasing, only a calm and cold decision.

But the obvious attitude is that whoever does not do well will be punished by Shen Jinmo's whip.

Drink, eat, and say auspicious words.

This should have been the simplest thing for guests to do at a banquet, but now it has fallen on the wedding banquet of Shen Jinmo and Xie Nanxing. Asking these guests to do this is like asking for their lives.

As his eyes moved around, someone jumped up.

"Sir Shen, if it weren't for your Xie Mansion inviting us today, we would definitely not come to attend this ridiculous wedding banquet."

"We are already here, Lord Shen is threatening us like this, is this how you treat guests in the Xie Mansion?"

Naturally, the main reason they chose to come as scheduled was not because of the repeated invitations from the Xie Mansion, but because of the emperor's unclear mind at the moment, and the vague intention to make fun of Shen Jinmo.

But today, after putting myself in his shoes and seeing what happened, Shen Jinmo is now so unreasonable. No matter what happens, it is Shen Jinmo's fault.

They are all victims of coercion.

Shen Jinmo was not a talkative person. He swung the whip in his hand directly at the two troublemakers. The moment bright red whip marks appeared on their faces, screams of pain were heard one after another.

After seeing this change, some officials came to their senses and attempted to flee towards the government gate.

Shen Jinmo jumped up and stood directly at the exit of the mansion. The road beside him was blocked in an instant.

He pointed the handle of his whip at Xie Nanxing, who was eating as if nothing had happened, and said, "Since you have congratulated my husband, I will let you go."

"Shen Jinmo, you and I are officials in the same court. Are you sure you want to make the scene so ugly?"

Shen Jinmo glanced at the man with contempt and swung the whip down mercilessly.

"When you knelt down and begged me to do something for you before, you didn't have this attitude. Today, I just asked you to congratulate Mr. Shen's husband. Why do you think it's more embarrassing than asking you to kneel down?"

The person who was jumping up and down lowered his head and frowned, then slowly moved his steps to sneak into the crowd.

Those who had walked across Shen Jinmo's path in the past kept their mouths shut at the table.

However, it was also at this moment that everyone, regardless of whether they had walked Shen Jinmo's path or not, completely understood how despicable Shen Jinmo was.

Take the money and do the job based on your mood.

You can use this as a threat and bite them back afterwards.

In fact, even if Shen Jinmo gains the emperor's favor again in the future, you must never associate with him unless you have no other choice.

"Shen Jinmo, you have lost the emperor's favor and are no longer as powerful as you once were. Your arrogance is your death warrant."

Xie Nanxing, who was sitting at the table, put down his silver chopsticks, his bright eyes filled with confusion: "When you attend other people's weddings, don't you congratulate them?"

"You are all here today. Why do you want to oppose Xie and my husband?"

"Are you here for a banquet or to cause trouble?"

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Gao, after receiving Shen Jinmo's gaze, hurriedly handed the new silver chopsticks to Xie Nanxing.

It was obvious that Shen Jinmo felt that Xie Nanxing ate too little and was not full.

Xie Nanxing did not refuse. He glared at the court officials with a slight anger and quickened the pace of his meal.

Shen Jinmo naturally knew what these people were secretly competing against each other.

Tian Ding was promoted by Shen Jinmo and came from a merchant family, so naturally he would not be too fussy about such trivial matters.

But these people who were well-read in the books of sages violated the moral principles they had learned since childhood and were the first to congratulate Xie Nanxing in public, throwing away the character and pride that they were accustomed to being proud of.

In the future, such things will inevitably become a lifelong stain.

If Shen Jinmo is still a person favored by the emperor, there will naturally be people who abandon their integrity for power. If someone sets this precedent, others will be able to follow suit.

But today Shen Jinmo has nothing.

"Sir Shen, marriage between men is not tolerated by the great principles. If you really want to look into it, it is a disease."

"If I had this disease, I would hide it and not let anyone know."

"Lord Shen is also a man who studied under the Grand Tutor and is well-read in the books of sages. Today, not only did he not try to hide it, but he flaunted it like this. This is really a shame for our generation."

Someone opened the head of the person who was using morality to control Shen Jinmo, and before he was whipped by Shen Jinmo, those who intended to step on Shen Jinmo to show their own nobility stood up one after another.

And each one was more indignant than the other.

If one really had to describe this atmosphere, Xie Nanxing felt that it was a bit like Shen Jinmo had dug up their family's ancestral grave and taken out all of their ancestors for eighteen generations, grinding their bones and scattering their ashes.

After finishing the whole bowl of noodles, Xie Nanxing stood up and walked towards Shen Jinmo, then sat down in Shen Jinmo's arms with ease.
