I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

System: [Host, let me take a look~]

As soon as the words fell, an atmosphere of tension and expectation filled the entire hall.

The officials all took out their heart-nourishing pills at the same time, and if they heard their names, they would take one immediately.

Especially the older officials, the porcelain bottles of Yangxin Pills had already been opened, and some officials had even poured out two pills into their palms.

One pill is not enough. When you get older, you need to take two pills at least!

The officials who had been eaten by melons continued to put their hands in their pockets and eat melons...

In this tense and expectant atmosphere, the system finally spoke.

[Host, haven’t we eaten the old master’s melon before? ]

Qin Yue: [Yes! Didn’t Mu Huaiyuan and Fang Chunhua leave the Grand Tutor’s Mansion? They were taken to a remote place and their money was gone. I wonder if their so-called “love” can support them through the daily necessities of life…]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: My sister suddenly brought up the old Grand Tutor's gossip. Could it be that the old Grand Tutor's disappointing grandson has come to his senses?

The old Grand Tutor has been keeping his door closed to visitors these days. Apart from participating in matters concerning the Autumn Examination, he spends the rest of the time resting.

To be honest, if that kind of thing happened to them, they probably wouldn't be much better than the old master.

Their concubine and their grandson were together. This was too "exciting". They really couldn't stand it...

System: [Haha, those two have been having a miserable time these days. If the old master hadn’t shown mercy and stolen all their money after they rented the house, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even have a place to live! ]

Qin Yue was in a good mood when she heard that Mu Huaiyuan and Fang Chunhua were living a miserable life. She quickly asked for details: [Sister, please tell me, why are they living such a miserable life? ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: Yes! Sister, tell us more quickly! Let them have some fun too! Hahahaha!

System: [Hehe! After they found out their money was gone, they ran to the government to report the case early the next morning. However, the government investigated for several days but could not find any progress.]

Qin Yue: [Hahaha! How could there be any progress? The groom who stole the money has already arrived in the capital! And no one in the county knows the groom, and he acted in the middle of the night. If he has good martial arts skills, it won't be a problem for him to avoid the guards at the city gate!]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: Indeed, although the small county town has defensive forces, it is indeed very easy for a martial arts expert to escape.

It’s not that the defense of the small county town is weak, but that the groom’s skills are amazing!

It seems that this groom is not just a "groom". He was probably specially arranged by the old master just to make those two suffer!

Hahahaha! The old master has made a good plan! What a brilliant plan!

The system continued: [Fang Chunhua went to the government to make trouble. The government received her in a friendly manner several times and did its best to investigate the case. In the end, the government was helpless. Fang Chunhua made trouble every day, which made the government lose face.]

[So, later on, when the officials saw Fang Chunhua, they would just close the door or just drive her away, and the theft case was put on hold.]

Qin Yue: [Hahahaha! Is Fang Chunhua stupid? If she doesn't make a scene, the government might continue to investigate.]

[Besides, it’s not like the government hasn’t tried their best to investigate the case. They have to be given time. Some cases take a long time from the beginning to the end. She wants them to solve the case right away!]

[See, if you offend the government, they will just quit. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, they have no ability to solve this case...]

[But, sister, logically speaking, the county magistrate wouldn't just ignore it, right? After all, those two people are also citizens of the Southern Dynasty. When they encounter problems, the government can't just ignore it just because Fang Chunhua makes a fuss, right? ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials also agreed with Xiao Fuguan's words.

Officials are supposed to serve the people. Even though Fang Chunhua is a bit annoying, they shouldn't just suppress the theft case.

At most, it would just slow down the progress of the investigation...

System: [Host is right! ]

[The county magistrate was a good man. He learned that the two men had lost all their money when they first arrived in the county, and that the theft case had not been solved yet, and that they might have a hard time. He even thought of using his own private money to help the two men, and he did not think of suppressing the case at first.]

[However, he received a handwritten letter from the old master, which stated that Mu Huaiyuan was a relative's child, and that he had given up his studies to elope for Fang Chunhua. The elders in his family did not agree with their relationship, and also frankly stated that the money on their bodies was stolen by the old master's order, with the purpose of making the two suffer.]

[Only when Mu Huaiyuan has suffered enough will he understand the good intentions of his elders and cherish everything he has had before. So he asked the county magistrate to help him. As long as it does not endanger his life, he should not help those two people.]

[Therefore, the county magistrate directly withdrew the investigators and stopped meeting with the two men.]

Qin Yue sighed: [The old master really planned every step, even all this was arranged in advance! In order to let Mu Huaiyuan see Fang Chunhua's true face, he really took great pains! ]

[This Mu Huaiyuan is really disappointing! ]

Emperor Jin Yuan and all the court officials: Yes! Mu Huaiyuan is such a disappointment!

He actually abandoned his closest relatives for a woman! If this happened to them, they might really break off their relationship!

Why did you come back? Did you come back just to make yourself angry?

Alas... However, having said that, if it really comes to that, I would probably want to try to see if I can change my child's bad temper.

Not to mention that the old master has only one grandson, and Mu Huaiyuan has become like this in character, so as a grandfather and a parent, they are not completely without responsibility.

Come to think of it, because of Mu Huaiyuan's gossip, they had relaxed a little towards their own little monkeys, but the result was that one by one they looked at them with abnormal eyes, even though they were smiling so kindly!

The monkeys: How can it be kind! That smile is as stiff as a rock!

However, although the monkeys' eyes are abnormal, the effect is surprisingly good.

It seems that the mental state of the little kids is much better than before. They are no longer tired of studying and they even take the initiative to seek answers to their questions, which makes them feel very gratified!

It seems that I will have to be a "kind grandfather" and "kind father" in the future...

Naughty monkeys: What can they say... They looked at their grandfather and father with such strange looks and thought they had some terminal illness... So they became obedient just to show their filial piety?

After all, we don’t have much time to spend together... I can’t make my grandfather and father angry again...
