The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of War now had an extremely ugly expression on his face, firstly because his concubine was having an affair, and secondly because his family's scandal was exposed.

The system said with great interest: [That butler has shifty eyes, and is definitely not as good-looking as the Minister of War, but who makes the Minister of War busy? ]

[He goes out early and comes back late every day. Once he gets home, he spends most of his time in his wife's courtyard. He also has three concubines. If this is the case, wouldn't the time for others to see him be insufficient? ]

[That concubine had an affair with the housekeeper because she was lonely.]

[As for why their affair was not discovered, it was naturally because the Minister of War loved work too much. When he got home, he talked to his wife about work. The old couple was simply a combination of workaholics. ]

Lin Mo said with emotion: [This is amazing. I never thought there are still people in this world who like to work. Why don’t I give him my position? It’s so comfortable for me to lie at home every day.]

Everyone: ...You have a nice idea.

The emperor glanced at the pale-faced Minister of War and felt a little sorry for him.

If he hadn't assigned so much work to the Minister of War, this incident would not have happened.

Just when the emperor was confessing, Lin Mo's words dispersed his emotions again.

[You said if he didn't have time why did he take so many concubines? He loves work so much and his wife is like-minded with him, why did he have to take concubines? I really don't understand. ]

System: [This concubine was not asked for by the Minister of War, but was given to him by his mother. His mother disliked the Minister's wife, so she would always make trouble for her. This concubine was his mother's personal maid, and his mother decided to make this maid a concubine.]

It turned out that he was forced. Everyone looked at the Minister of War with even more pity.

It is really a sin to have an elder at home who is not clear about the situation.

Lin Mo was particularly moved when he heard the system's words, [The most difficult relationship in the world to handle is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. ]

Everyone nodded in their hearts, that’s right!

Even the emperor particularly agreed with this statement. When the empress dowager was still in power, she often clashed with the empress. The empress dowager wanted to control the power of the harem, but now the empress is in charge. The two of them are fighting for power, and the emperor is also annoyed by them.

He was actually very satisfied with the queen, and she managed the harem in an orderly manner. The queen mother was not his biological mother. When the queen mother was alive, she always wanted to arrange her nieces and nephews into the harem.

You don't have to think about what she wants to do. It's not easy for the emperor to refute the empress dowager, but the queen is awesome!

Every time the Queen Mother brought up this topic, she was blocked by the Queen. It must be said that the Queen is really a good wife!

Lin Mo continued: [In fact, sometimes elders really shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Why interfere so much? ]

[Isn't it possible to take good care of your health and enjoy your old age when you are old? Why do you have to make a mess of things? A good old man in the family is like a treasure, but an old man with unclear mind is really a disaster for the whole family. ]

Everyone nodded in their hearts, that's right! I didn't expect that this little girl from the Lin family was so mature despite her young age.

System: [Alas, the worst is the Minister of War. His concubine is pregnant. After his old lady knew that the concubine was pregnant, she simply held the concubine in her hands.]

[He doesn't like the decent child born to his daughter-in-law, but prefers the child of his own son who was cuckolded. I really don't understand.]

The Minister of War's face began to turn red. How embarrassing! It was really too embarrassing!

Although everyone felt sorry for the Minister of War, everyone was very satisfied eating this melon.

When leaving court, the emperor specially kept the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the crown prince and two princes were also present.

Emperor Xuande looked at the pale-faced Minister of War and said with pity, "My dear, I don't know how to comfort you about this matter, but I think you should first deal with your old lady."

"As for the elderly, they should take care of themselves when they are old. Don't let her interfere in the affairs of the harem. I remember that your wife is pretty good. You should be able to rest assured that she is in charge of the harem."

The Minister of War quickly nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely handle this matter."

Emperor Xuande was very pleased with his reaction, and added: "Tell me when you have dealt with it."

If you want to eat a whole melon, you have to eat it, right? It would be best if he knew what happened to the concubine.

After seeing off the Minister of War, the Crown Prince and the Second and Third Princes looked at their old father with helplessness on their faces.

"Father, you are stabbing someone in the heart, please stop interfering in their family affairs."

The prince really found that his father was becoming more and more out of control.

The second prince glanced at his steady elder brother and said unhappily, "How can this be called meddling? Father is just caring about his subjects. If he can't even handle family affairs, how can he handle state affairs? How can he handle the empire if he can't even clean up his own house?"

The third prince also echoed, "Second brother is right!"

Looking at his old father and two younger brothers, the prince said:... Come on, I am the only decent person in the family.

However, the serious prince whispered to Eunuch Li before leaving: "If there is any follow-up, please let me know."

Eunuch Li:...

Your family is really exactly the same!

After the Minister of War returned home, he immediately arrested the adulterous couple.

When the old lady saw that her beloved maidservant or concubine was captured, she was so angry that she took a cane and was about to hit the Minister of War.

"What the hell are you trying to do, you bastard! Xiaolian is still pregnant!"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of War had the old lady restrained, and then said indifferently, "Mother, don't get involved in family affairs in the future. Madam is a good housekeeper. Xiaolian knows whose child she is carrying."

"I was actually kept in the dark for so long because of my stupidity. The concubine in the house had an affair with the housekeeper. It's really funny to talk about it!"

"If you hadn't indulged her so much, how could she dare to do such a shameful thing!"

The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War really resented the old lady in his heart. If it weren't for the old lady, he wouldn't have become a laughing stock.

He was quite grateful to Lin Mo, even though she had exposed the matter in public and embarrassed him. If he hadn't exposed the matter, he would probably have to wear the cuckold hat for the rest of his life and have to raise someone else's child.
