Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Mingde has been an official for twenty years and has never been as embarrassed as he is today.

Although he was upset about being impeached by the censor, he thought that Emperor Ming would not kill him all because of his two generations of old ministers.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had a sore throat this morning and sat on the dragon throne, asking Ning Su to convey the imperial edict on his behalf.

The censor again mentioned that he did not manage his family well, and even his own children did not understand the rules of etiquette, so he was not qualified to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Mingde knelt in the court, his forehead against the cold floor tiles, his entire brain numb.

However, Emperor Ming refused to give the order for him to stand up. Such indifference was really humiliating for an old minister who thought that even though he had no merits, he had worked hard.

What’s even more embarrassing is that no one in the court dared to speak for him.

He just knelt there, listening to Ning Su report on various matters concerning the defense of the imperial army and the salt and grain transport routes.

It was not until the court was about to be dismissed that the nominal son-in-law seemed to see himself kneeling on the ground.

"Why is Minister Shen still kneeling here?"

He didn't dare to look up, and heard Emperor Ming whispering a few words in a hoarse voice. Then Ning Su spoke again, but he was still talking about other affairs of the six ministries.

Shen Mingde lay on the ground, closed his eyes in despair, and felt the breath draining out from head to toe.

But Emperor Ming did not seem to be willing to grant him the honor and let him go. All the civil and military officials in the court treated him differently according to his personality, and no one mentioned him again until the court was dismissed.

Finally, Ning Su mentioned it again, and the saint seemed to have just remembered him.

"It's inevitable that you will be confused when you get old. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."

After the court was dismissed, everyone was talking about it, saying that the factory official was a man of integrity and righteousness who knew how to speak up for his father-in-law.

Shen Mingde knew very well that if it wasn't for Ning Su's instructions, the Censorate would not have nothing better to do than to impeach him.

As a result, now people are talking about it as if he got a good deal.

But at this moment, he was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

There are also those who like to stir up trouble.

"Look, at the critical moment, we still have to look to the legitimate daughter. Minister Shen has a good daughter, and today he has a son-in-law who speaks well for him."

"That's right. I regret it now. I only gave birth to three brats. If only I had a daughter!"

Shen Mingde opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

The officials had seen enough of the excitement and walked out of the Taiji Hall one after another. Ning Su happened to pass by them.

Shen Mingde didn't care about the embarrassment, and hurried forward and thanked him.

"Thank you very much for helping me out just now."

Ning Su glanced at him, still with that indifferent look on his face.

"Hasn't the Saint issued an edict? Shangshu should return home and reflect on your mistakes."

There is no hint of buying into his words.

Shen Mingde knew that he was not someone who was easy to get along with, but since he needed help from someone, he had to swallow his anger and put on a smile.

"Shen knows that he has not handled this matter properly, and I hope that the factory officials will be kind enough to say a few good words to the emperor. When Shen returns home, he will definitely tidy up the inner house."

Ning Su sneered.

"The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. It's no use for you to pester me here, Shangshu."

Shen Mingde hit a snag, looking embarrassed, he gritted his teeth and continued.

"I understand what the factory official meant. But last time I visited your house, I wanted to talk to Qiao Qiao, but I was turned away."

Ning Su chuckled when he heard this, but that smile concealed endless ridicule and contempt.

"Minister Shen didn't return without success, did he? Didn't he have a very pleasant conversation with Marquis Pingyuan?"

Shen Mingde's eyes widened, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Could it be that he knew the content of the conversation between me and Pingyuan Hou that day?

Have the factory guards become so omnipresent?

Or did Pingyuan Hou team up with him to set up a trap to trap him?

That's not right. Given Ning Su's personality, if he knew someone was plotting against him, how could he not get rid of that person as soon as possible?

When he was about to ask more, he saw Ning Su had already ridden away.

He was feeling uneasy and went back home. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right, so he sent someone to the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion to inquire about the news.

The person sent secretly went to the backyard under the pretext of visiting Aunt Shen, and the news he brought back shocked the whole family.

"Our eldest daughter insulted the current emperor and was caught by the crown prince! Now she has been caned and is bedridden!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xu collapsed to the ground.

"What? Jingyi insulted the emperor? How is that possible?"

But Minister Shen believed it to about 70%. His daughter was usually outspoken. Before she got married, she could be said to be true to her nature behind closed doors. But after she got married, she dared to be so rampant that she even dared to insult the emperor!

"What did the prince say?"

The servant obeyed submissively.

"The prince said he wanted her life!"

Shen Mingde was horrified, but still retained some sanity.

"But she's pregnant, so logically..."

"That's why I was able to save my life today. The prince said that we should wait until a hundred days after the birth before executing her."

Shen Mingde was completely dumbfounded and said in panic.

"So, there is no room for maneuver?"

The servant secretly raised his eyes to see the master's expression and gritted his teeth.

"I vaguely heard that there is a red seal and iron certificate, but the old lady of the Ning family refused to take it out to save my aunt."

Aunt Xu seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She threw herself at Shen Mingde's feet, hugged his legs, and cried.

"Master, please think of a solution quickly. I only have this one daughter. If anything happens to her, how will I live?"

Shen Mingde was already upset.

Seeing Aunt Xu crying and shouting, he became more and more annoyed.

"It takes generations of loyal martyrs to have such a red-lettered certificate. Why should it be given to a concubine? I would never do that if it were me."

Aunt Xu was completely irrational at this time, and she cried even harder after hearing what was said.

"A concubine's life is worthless! I should have strangled her to death when she was born, so that she wouldn't have to suffer injustice in the world with me, her concubine!"

Shen Mingde didn't bother to pay attention and asked the servant again.

"Did the prince say anything else?"

The servant stammered for a long time.

"I heard the doorman of the Marquis's Mansion say that the prince said..." He looked at Shen Mingde's face, "He said that our eldest daughter is really well-educated."

As soon as these words came out, Minister Shen knew that something was wrong. He sat down on his chair, terrified.

She had just been reprimanded by the emperor during the day, and at night the concubine was reprimanded by the prince for insulting the emperor. It seemed that he was trying to kill her.

Seeing that Aunt Xu was still pestering him, he became furious and slapped her hard.

"Shut up, it's you who taught me to be a spendthrift, and now even my Shen family is going to be implicated."

Aunt Xu was beaten silly. She had been favored over the years since she got married, but this was the first time she was beaten.

"You think this is a small matter? If you insult the emperor, your entire clan may be implicated!"

Aunt Xu was also frightened. She knew that Minister Shen was well versed in etiquette and laws. He said that the crime was serious, and it was indeed serious.

She didn't dare to cry anymore and asked carefully.

"What should I do?"

Shen Mingde also wanted to know what to do, and Ning Su’s words when the court was adjourned suddenly came to his mind.

Yes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!

He stood up suddenly, which scared Aunt Xu.

"I will go to the Marquis' Mansion in person to prepare a gift!"

Aunt Xu was pleasantly surprised, thinking that he was going to plead for her daughter, but unexpectedly Minister Shen said.

"I want to go and apologize to Qiao Qiao in person." His eyes fell on Aunt Xu, who was startled, "You go too!"

While waiting in Song Changxuan, Shen Mingde was no longer as confident as last time.

He thought about Qiao Qiao, a girl who, although tough in words, was very kind to her family before she got married.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind, pulled Aunt Xu and knelt at the door of Songchangxuan.

Aunt Xu was horrified. Although this place was not crowded with people, it was the territory of Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion after all.

What if a servant saw it and told the Marquis and his wife, would Jingyi still be able to live as a human being?

But before he could finish his words, Shen Mingde glared at him.

"If you can't even bear this little bit of anger, just go back to your parents' home!"

I heard a chuckle behind me.

"Minister Shen is so impressive!"
