The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

After listening to this, Eunuch Cao smiled slightly and said loudly: "Lu Yunxu, accept the order!"

Lu Yunxu lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground gracefully.

Eunuch Cao read aloud: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Lu Yunxu assisted the court in capturing spies from enemy countries, annihilated foreign spies, and protected Dajin, making great contributions. Lu Yunxu is hereby appointed as the Chief Clerk of the Dali Temple. This is decreed."

"I thank my Lord for His grace." Lu Yunxu said loudly, took the imperial edict with both hands and stood up.

Eunuch Cao bowed and said, "Congratulations, Lord Lu."

"Eunuch Cao is so kind!" Lu Yunxu smiled.

Madam Lu was completely confused.

what?

Lu Yunxu became the chief clerk of the Dali Temple?

That's a seventh-rank official position.

Although a seventh-rank official is nothing in the capital, he is still an official!

Her Yi'er is still a commoner, so how come Lu Yunxu became an official?

Anyang Hou was the first to recover from his shock. He asked incredulously, "Eunuch Cao, how could he... accomplish meritorious service?"

Eunuch Cao's face darkened: "Marquis Anyang is really joking."

"In the past two days, the imperial guards have been searching the entire city for spies from the enemy country. If it weren't for Lord Lu's cover, the court would not be able to catch all those guys."

"If this doesn't count as meritorious service, what does it count as?"

"Ah!" Anyang Hou reacted belatedly, "He, he didn't do anything wrong?"

Eunuch Cao looked at Anyang Hou with amusement: "From beginning to end, has anyone ever said that Lord Lu had committed a crime?"

Marquis Anyang was completely stunned.

Yes.

From the beginning, it was not said that Lu Yunxu had committed a crime, but the imperial guards were searching for him throughout the city.

"Then you don't care about life or death?" Old Madam Lu asked in a scream.

Eunuch Cao frowned impatiently. The old lady of the Anyang Marquis's Mansion was indeed short-sighted. "If we find the spies from the enemy country and they resist, of course they will be punished regardless of life or death."

"But no one has ever said that it doesn't matter whether Lord Lu lives or dies."

After hearing this, Madam Lu swayed and fell directly into the arms of the maid next to her.

The maids and servants around were so frightened that they hurriedly carried Madam Lu in.

The people watching the excitement outside were all shocked by this sudden turn of events.

The eldest son of Marquis Anyang actually did not commit any crime. He was working for the court. And then... Marquis Anyang also drove out his meritorious son and removed his name from the family tree. From then on, they became two families and became strangers?

Marquis Anyang, are you stupid?

"To be honest, it's just that the Marquis doesn't trust my husband." Qiao Jinlan stood up and said coldly.

"If the Marquis believed in it, he wouldn't have driven my husband out so hastily just to protect himself."

"But I am surprised... the three brothers and sisters of the prince were all raised by the old lady."

"My Lord, you didn't even ask questions or investigate. Do you think that the old lady didn't teach them well from the beginning, and that they are all vicious and evil?"

The eyes of everyone around him were all on Marquis Anyang, making him feel uneasy.

"This is not a question of whether to teach him well or badly. His grandmother has always doted on him. If..." Anyang Hou's explanation was interrupted by Qiao Jinlan.

"Father, what you mean is that you, as a father, are indifferent and don't care about your children, even though you know your mother might spoil them and let them grow up astray, right?"

Qiao Jinlan's question made Marquis Anyang stiffen.

The strange, accusatory looks from those around him pierced him fiercely, making him extremely embarrassed.

Qiao Jinlan was unwilling to let him go and continued to ask, "Then, Marquis Anyang, one is your heir, and the other two are your biological children. You can raise them to waste in order not to disobey your mother."

"You don't even have the ability to run a household, or are you doing this on purpose?"

Marquis Anyang opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a word.

"My Lord, you can't even manage your own family, and you are still serving as an official in the court... What do you want the people to do? What do the court do?"

With a bang, heated discussions broke out all around, sweeping over like a tide.

With so many people talking at the same time, Marquis Anyang couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but he knew - it was over!

He's finished!

His reputation is ruined!

Qiao Jinlan asked the question without expecting an answer.

She just sighed and said, "Mom, it's a good thing you got divorced."

Lin took a deep look at Marquis Anyang, who was so dejected that he could hardly stand, and felt extremely ironic in his heart.

She turned around and left with her children.

As for Eunuch Cao and his men, they returned to the palace to report.

Only then did the people know that because Lu Yunxu had made great contributions, Eunuch Cao brought the imperial guards to read the imperial edict in order to give Lu Yunxu respect.

Lu Yunxu is respectable, but, Marquis Anyang...

Everyone showed a meaningful and sarcastic smile. Mrs. Lu Yunxu asked a good question.

They all knew that Mrs. Lu doted on her grandchildren. Why was that?

Everyone has their own answer in their hearts, this Anyang Marquis Mansion... is not normal.

The gate of Marquis Anyang's mansion was tightly closed, so no one could peek into what was going on inside. Naturally, no one saw the tables and chairs that were kicked over by Marquis Anyang.

"My Lord, calm down." Su Yunxia advised worriedly, "I think the Crown Prince's wife is deliberately trying to embarrass you, just because you drove the Crown Prince out..."

"Don't call her the Crown Prince's Consort!" Marquis Anyang said in a deep voice, "The Crown Prince is gone, so how can there be a Crown Prince's Consort?"

"She doesn't deserve it!"

"Yes, yes, yes...Your Majesty is right." Seeing Marquis Anyang gritting his teeth in hatred, Su Yunxia hurriedly continued speaking along with his words.

"The current situation is quite unfavorable to our Marquis' Mansion."

Su Yunxia reminded: "Qiao Jinlan is talking nonsense, and the people outside obviously believed her nonsense."

"We can't just let the outside world just let this mess spread like wildfire, right?"

Marquis Anyang was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead: "How do you want me to explain?"

"Are you saying that mom is ignorant and spoils the children blindly, or that I am a foolish filial son who doesn't know how to manage the household, or should we just admit that we just want to spoil them?"

Marquis Anyang was so angry that he gave up.

Qiao Jinlan is so abominable.

Those questions left him with no way to defend himself!

"Did Lin know that Qiao Jinlan was not a troublesome person and deliberately let Qiao Jinlan marry into the family in order to stir up trouble in the Marquis's mansion?" Marquis Anyang suddenly thought of a question and started to ponder it.

"Will this... happen?" Su Yunxia asked uncertainly.

She couldn't just criticize Lin directly, otherwise wouldn't her gentle and considerate image be ruined?

"Of course she wouldn't? She's even haggling over a piece of silver with me. She's done such a disgusting thing. Is there anything else she can't do?" Marquis Anyang said hatefully.

"I shouldn't have married her in the first place!"
