Marrying a powerful eunuch three times
Chapter 102: Demoted to the 5th Rank of Water Department Doctor
Xia An hurriedly took it.
Su Rutang thought of Shang Yan, who had helped him so much. He also hoped to have a good relationship with him so that Shang Qi could meet him more often.
Give orders to send dozens of kilograms of ice over.
Send some more fruit over.
"Just say that you are thanking Commander Shang."
Xia An took it all.
Go to the second gate and ask someone to handle it.

in the hall.
Zhou Chengru clenched his hands into fists, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
The censors in the Censorate have tongues as sharp as knives.
They said that he did not manage his family well and that if he himself was not upright, how could he do a good job in the Ministry of Works?
Having an affair with his widowed sister-in-law.
The daughter who was only fifteen years old and had not even reached her birthday dared to seduce the fifth prince. The people of the Imperial Censorate portrayed the fifth prince as a victim and kept attacking Zhou Chengru.
He couldn't argue.
He could only look at Minister Su eagerly, hoping that Minister Su would speak for him.
Minister Su ignored him completely.
"Minister Zhou, Murong was a chaste woman. How dare you touch a chaste woman?" The emperor was so angry that he picked up the paperweight in his hand and smashed it down.
The paperweight fell to the ground.
Zhou Chengru knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, I am the same as the Fifth Prince. I was drugged."
"nonsense."
Zhou Chengru hurriedly explained that the drug was bought by Murong Feiyue's brother and then brought into the Zhou Mansion.
He just wanted to throw this dirty water on Murong Feiyue.
The emperor heard that Murong Feiyue had escaped.
He ordered the people from the Dali Temple to write an announcement to capture him.
He demoted Zhou Chengru to the fifth rank of Langzhong of the Ministry of Water Resources, and promoted a Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
"Come here. Drag Doctor Zhou out and give him ten sticks as a warning to others."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yao Tongzhi accepted the order.
Zhou Chengru knew that he was powerless to save the situation and could only kneel down to express his gratitude.
He glanced at Su Buli, who had no expression on his face, and secretly hated the Su family for being so ruthless and ungrateful.
Last time, the emperor intended to use Zhou Chengru to slap Minister Su in the face.
He had never thought that Zhou Chengru was useless, and he wanted to kill him to be done with it. He also didn't like the eloquent people in the Censorate, so he could only suppress his anger.
Ask people to withdraw from the court.
He left behind sorrow and disgust.
"Tell me, am I too harsh on Minister Su?"
Shang Yan groaned for a moment, "Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. I believe that Minister Su understands the emperor's good intentions."
The emperor kicked him and said, "Only the Jinyiwei would have such an idea."
Shang Yan was kicked, but he smiled and said:
"I am speaking from my heart."
"Zhou Chengru is useless and has lost my face." The emperor's words were very clear. He wanted Zhou Chengru to die.
Shang Yan didn't want Zhou Chengru to have an accident now.
After he died, Su Rutang was his widow. She was trapped in the Zhou Mansion for her whole life, struggling with those ungrateful children for the reputation of the Zhou Mansion.
"Your Majesty. Zhou Chengru is nothing but a bald dog. Killing him is not a big deal, but he is a former top scholar and has some skills." Shang Yan's brows tightened, "It's not easy to do things in the water department. Those people below are arguing everywhere, it's better to let Zhou Chengru work for your majesty."
The emperor withdrew his gaze from the distance.
"You don't like those officials, how could you...?"
Shang Yan knew that the emperor was very suspicious, so he sneered: "That thing is not worth my attention, it's just a useful dog."
"I know your loyalty." The emperor said with a smile.
"Then let him live. After all, we should give the fifth prince some face and give him some reward." One of the reasons why the emperor wanted to kill Zhou Chengru was that the fifth prince and Prince Kang actually went to Zhou's mansion.
He is just a Vice Minister of Works.
"Between Lao Wu and him..."
Shang Yan lowered his head. "The Fifth Prince loves talent and calligraphy and painting. Prince Kang probably said that he heard that the Zhou Mansion has good calligraphy and paintings."
"That's right. Laowu likes calligraphy and painting."
The emperor looked a little relieved.
"Give Lao Wu a painting of autumn water."
Shang Yan said nothing, and the eunuch beside him took the order and did it.
Coming out of the palace.
Yao Tongzhi was waiting outside, "Sir, have you accepted the mission?"
Shang Yan looked to a place not far away and said, "No."
"The Fifth Prince and Minister Zhou." Shang Yan said the names of the two.
Yao Tongzhi followed behind.
"Minister Zhou has chosen his side."
"How did they get together?" Shang Yan felt that there was a story behind it. "Send someone to check it out."
He looked back at the palace and said, "The emperor has ghost guards around him. Go and check quietly, and only check Doctor Zhou."
"Yes."
Zhou Chengru was carried to Zhou's residence. An oral order was passed down, and Zhou Shilang became Zhou Langzhong.
The official rank was directly demoted from the fourth rank to the fifth rank.
Zhou Yunxi was staying in Rongxi Hall. When she heard that Zhou Chengru had been demoted, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Grandma, my second brother..."
Cui cried and cursed:
"It's all because of that bitch Murong. We, the Zhou family, finally lived a respectable life, but now we have become a laughing stock."
"Murong clan." Zhou Yunxi suddenly had an idea, "Bring Jiuhunchong here."
She asked someone to take Jiuhunchong away, and the Murong family's property must be returned to the Zhou family.
The servant went to the woodshed where the drunkard was imprisoned and took a look.
Is there anyone else there?
The servant was so frightened that he hurried over to report, "Madam, the drunkard has run away."
Now even Zhou Yunxi noticed something was wrong. How could the Murong brothers and sisters escape without anyone noticing?
"Brother, you won't really..." Zhou Yunxi fell into a chair, "Mom, is Sister Yu their child?"
"No. Murong has been in the mansion all the time."
Cui immediately shook her head.
The old lady lay on the couch, her head in a daze. "No. Murong went to the manor several times, saying that she was reciting scriptures for Cheng'en."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly felt very uneasy.
After calculating the time when Murong Feiyue went out, she happened to meet Zhou Qiongyu and her brother.
The old lady could no longer hold on.
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
"grandmother."
"Old lady."
Cui cried out in grief and fainted on the ground.
If it is true as they guessed, not only were the two of them having an affair under their noses, but they also had several children.
Zhou Yunxi was confused.
She hurriedly called the servant to call a doctor, and also asked someone to invite Su Rutang over.
On the way to Zhou Chengru's courtyard, Su Rutang was stopped by a maid. "Second Madam, the Fifth Prince's wife is here. She asked you to come over."
"Please ask her to sit in the front yard."
Su Rutang took two steps, thought for a moment, and said to Xia An, "Ask a smart servant to go and tell Wen Yi. And ask a maid to bring Sister Yu to the front."
"Yes." Xia An agreed and left.
Su Rutang took Qiu Ling to the front yard.
The more the Fifth Prince's wife thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow that humiliation, especially when she went back to complain to the Fifth Prince, but the other party didn't say much.
She suddenly felt bad.
After thinking about it, the Fifth Prince's wife decided to take the initiative.
She sat on the chair with a dignified look on her face, with two maids standing beside her.
The servants from Zhou's mansion brought tea.
The Fifth Prince's wife didn't even look at him.
Su Rutang came in.
The Fifth Prince's wife picked up the teacup and smashed it at Su Rutang's feet.
The tea splashed onto Su Rutang's skirt. She bowed lightly and said, "Your Highness greets the Fifth Princess."
"Su Rutang, you are also a lady from a famous family. You could have adopted so many beggars out there, but you chose to adopt a shameless slut. You can see that the Su family's reputation was torn off by that bitch and thrown on the ground."
The Fifth Prince's wife's family has some connections with the Yun family.
After Su Rutang's mother married her father, she had more interactions with the Su family.
But the friendship between gentlemen is as plain as water.
"What happened yesterday was due to my poor upbringing. Please punish me, Princess Fifth." Su Rutang only had a crabapple flower hairpin in her hair today, and her face was lightly powdered with white rouge.
No lipstick, no eyebrows.
He was wearing dark clothes, which made his face look as white as paper.
Seeing her like this, the Fifth Prince's wife thought about what her husband had done with his widowed sister-in-law. She felt sorry for Su Rutang and her anger was mostly relieved.
"That's all. Get up now."
Su Rutang then stood up and said, "Thank you, Fifth Princess."
outside.
Zhou Wenyi quietly went to the corridor.
"I was very angry just now. I wonder if I hurt you?" The Fifth Prince's wife pretended to be angry and scolded the nanny beside her, "You didn't stop me. It would be bad if I hurt Madam Zhou."
Su Rutang knew in his heart that she just wanted to show her power.
He hurriedly said:
"Thank you for your concern, Princess Fifth. I am not hurt."
"sit down."
Su Rutang thanked him and then sat on the edge of the chair.
"Su. I came here to bring your Miss Zhou to the palace. The prince said that the palace is in need of a maid. The prince also said that all the maids in the palace are not as good at romance as Miss Zhou."
The Fifth Prince's wife sneered as she spoke.
