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

In fact, Lord Xia also felt at the time that Yuan Shuang let Liu Jin and the other two off too easily, but he understood that Yuan Shuang was thinking about him, and he could not let his daughter down.

But since we can't do it openly, let's do it secretly!

So he sent people to secretly spread the scandal of Liu Jin and the other man in the restaurants and teahouses in the capital.

Of course, a lot of information about Liu was hidden, after all, she had to consider the future of her two sons.

Lord Xia's actions made the news spread even faster.

And because the person who spread the news described it in vivid detail, the people in the capital city talked about it with relish and showed it off when visiting relatives and friends.

"I'm telling you, I know a huge secret. That is, the relationship between the two sons of the Minister of War is unclear!"

"Really? Of course it's true! This news was told to me by the elder brother of my second uncle's cousin who works in the Minister's Mansion. I wouldn't tell this to anyone else!"

As a result, this news became a joke for the people after dinner and a topic of conversation when visiting relatives and friends. From time to time, people would go to inquire about the latest news. It can be said that it has been popular for a long time.

Every day, groups of people came to tear down the wall of Lord Liu's house.

Being watched every day almost drove Lord Liu crazy, and his hair was almost falling out.

The key is that these peeping people run so fast that they can’t be caught at all!

The Jingzhao Prefecture didn't care at all, saying that he had no actual evidence and no real losses, so there was no need to waste the government's resources.

It was not until that time that Mr. Liu truly felt what collapse was.

He should have handed these two guys over to the authorities for investigation when the incident happened. At most they would have been put in jail for a few years, and there wouldn't have been so many follow-up incidents!

Of course, these are all things that happened later. Now Lord Liu can only sigh in his heart: Alas, what misfortune for our family, what misfortune for our family. I have to practice my trumpet quickly!

Fortunately, Lord Liu himself has good intentions and is an upright official, so God is somewhat kind to him.

Even at an advanced age, he had managed to master the trumpet, and he was very competitive and had considerable talent in painting.

After the small trumpet became famous, people's attention was drawn to the small trumpet instead of the big trumpet.

The wall of Lord Liu's house was finally liberated.

After hearing what his elder sister said, Minister Xu thought more highly of Lord Xia. It was good that he was not a coward, which showed that his daughter's vision was not too bad.

Lord Xia met his father-in-law's slightly admiring gaze and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Over the years, his father-in-law has never been pleased with him.

When he proposed to Yu Niang, his father-in-law disliked him and scolded him no matter what he did.

It was only because Yu Niang insisted on marrying him that the two were able to get married successfully.

He thought he would never be recognized in this life, but he never expected that there would be a day when his father-in-law would like him.

Lord Liu finally broke free from his beautiful fantasy, now that the mighty general has brought up the matter in front of His Majesty.

I'm afraid this matter is difficult to resolve peacefully. It's better to take the initiative to admit the mistake and ask for a lighter punishment.

So, Lord Liu slid down to his knees very skillfully and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, it was all because of my poor parenting that he almost made such a big mistake! He almost harmed the daughter of Master Xia! I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Emperor Yuan of Jin was praying in his heart that the fact that he farted would not be exposed.

He was suddenly awakened by the conversation between Minister Xu and General Weiwu, and was forcibly carried and fed a mouthful of melon. Well, now he had to finish the melon.

These two old foxes!

In fact, Minister Xu and General Weiwu had indeed discussed the matter in advance, just wanting to expose the matter in the court.

That's why General Weiwu followed Minister Xu's words and brought the conversation to this matter.

The main purpose is to dispel all the rumors about Yuan Shuang in the capital through your Majesty's words.

Although everyone present at the time knew that nothing had happened between Yuan Shuang and those two men, as the central figure of the incident, Yuan Shuang was inevitably dragged into the conversation, and as the conversation went on, the story became distorted.

Yesterday, there were rumors that Yuan Shuang deliberately seduced Liu Sheng, but failed and instead caused Liu Jin's dissatisfaction.

That's why he planned to destroy her innocence and marry her so that she could feel the sweetness of Liu Jin and his partner at all times, in order to torture and humiliate her.

Although Minister Xu and General Weiwu always quarreled over who was better in martial arts, they still had the friendship between brothers.

After leaving the palace last night, Minister Xu found General Weiwu, hoping that he could lend a hand, and "inadvertently" brought up the matter in the court.

If Minister Xu asks His Majesty directly, it might make His Majesty angry. After all, it is a family matter, and it would be disrespectful to bring it to the court casually.

At this time, Lord Xia also stood up and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for my daughter. After this happened, because of my kindness, I spared Liu Jin and the other two. But I never thought that rumors would spread in the capital that my daughter had hooked up with Liu Sheng."

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to punish those involved and clear my daughter's name!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this kid would beat him to the punch and the content was almost the same.

He actually knew about yesterday's rumors. It seems that he really loves Yuan Shuang.

Minister Xu stroked his beard, nodded with great satisfaction, and his eyes softened as he looked at Lord Xia.

This made Lord Xia even more flattered. Under the caring look of his father-in-law, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

Emperor Jin Yuan pondered for a while and then said, "Liu Rencheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, did not manage his family well and did not teach his children well. His son Liu Jin, his adopted son Liu Sheng, and his sister Liu, the three of them tried to trick Xia Yuanshuang into marriage, and almost tarnished Xia Yuanshuang's innocence."

"But considering that Liu Rencheng is still a decent official, he will be fined one year's salary. His son Liu Jin and his adopted son Liu Sheng will be punished to kneel in front of the Xia Mansion for a month, and they must kneel for four full hours every day!"

"His sister Liu will be sent to a nunnery outside the capital from now on, copying scriptures and praying for Xia Yuanshuang day and night!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Minister Xu and Lord Xia knelt down together to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" Lord Liu felt relieved in his heart. Although he lost a year's salary and lost face, at least he was still alive.

So, after today, the capital city has one more "check-in point", at the gate of Xia Mansion.

Countless people came to throw away rotten vegetable leaves every day, making Liu Jin and the others feel embarrassed, but they did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction.

The two of them were already injured, and after kneeling for a month in the scorching heat of September, their injuries were even worse. They would probably have to stay in bed for a year or two.

After Liu Jin recovered from his injury, when he finally walked out of the courtyard, he was stunned to find that he had a new biological brother, and the entire Liu Mansion was decorated with lights and colors to hold a full moon banquet for his brother.

Liu Jin: It feels like after being in bed for more than a year, the whole world has changed after you came out?
